The Chief Detective Inspector is dead. I'm now the top police officer in Hong Kong!

Chapter 155 Live Ammunition, War Begins (14)

At 10 p.m., just after the night market rush hour, a large number of uniformed police officers appeared on the streets of Kowloon. Gradually, a large number of thugs from the Sun Kee organization appeared and gathered on Nathan Road.

Tonight, the Xinji nightclub, Malan, and entertainment venues are all closed. Even without police announcements, the public knows from the situation on the streets that things are not peaceful, so they've gone home early to rest, avoiding being caught up in the chaos.

After 11 a.m., Nathan Road was almost deserted, and the number of cars parked on the roadside was significantly reduced compared to usual. Traffic police began to appear, closing off roads and dispersing unrelated citizens.

At 11:30 p.m., the intersection of Waterloo Road and Nathan Road was densely packed with more than twenty police cars, their lights illuminating the night sky.

O-Division Superintendent William arrived at the scene and was gathered in front of a map with West Kowloon PTU Superintendent Wilson and a group of subordinates, making final arrangements for their tasks.

Meanwhile, Lin Jiang arrived at Nathan Road in a Bentley and slowly drove towards Argyle Street.

The gangsters chatting, smoking, and joking on the street all followed the chief manager's car when they saw it. The number of people increased and increased until it was a large and imposing force of over a thousand. The uniformed squads and assault team members stationed at each intersection couldn't help but look serious and felt a lot of pressure.

Inside the Jingyi Restaurant, Su Long, Axe Jun, and Li Yutian sat by the window, looking down at the more than a thousand thugs dressed in martial robes and wielding machetes and other sharp blades who had blocked the road and were swaggering and confronting their fellow disciples.

One arm is tied with a red ribbon, and the other arm is tied with a yellow scarf.

The two bosses haven't even met yet, but the thugs transferred from Hong Kong Island and the New Territories are already eager to try, and the air is thick with tension.

William pointed to the intersection in front of Jingyi Restaurant and asked, "Who's in charge of Tongcai Street?"

"Sir, it's me!" Lin Tiansheng stood at attention, saluted, and stepped forward.

"Once the operation begins, I hope Su Long, Lin Jiang, and Four-Eyes Taki will all be there." William has received intelligence that Four-Eyes Taki and Lin Jiang will be on the battlefield tonight in their Bentley.

In a major battle involving the life and death of a gang, any leader who wants to exert influence must bring enough troops and risk their life to participate.

Otherwise, the underlings will smash his brains, and who will care whether he's the boss or not!

Lin Tiansheng stood at attention, saluted, and shouted in a strong and clear voice, "Yes, sir."

"Get to work." William waved his hand, and the officers who had received the assignment saluted and turned to leave. Pu Yongshi said beside him, "Young Master Sheng, I have thirty men under my command who will be with you on Tung Choi Street."

The fact that they could get their own people transferred to work for Young Master Sheng was the maximum force the remnants of the party could exert. Lin Tiansheng was very satisfied. He led Zhang Jinrong, Deng Gengyun, and Chen Anquan into the PTU van and asked in a low voice, "Did the foreigners issue any regulations?"

"The situation is very complicated, and our superiors told us to be flexible and adaptable." Pu Yongshi, as the Chief Inspector, was only a squad leader in the PTU, in charge of thirty men—just enough to fill a large truck.

Don't underestimate these thirty men; each one is well-trained, armed with automatic weapons, and young men at their peak in age and morale.

Lin Tiansheng nodded slowly and said, "I have 85 people from the O-Division in Mong Kok, in uniform, and the West Kowloon Major Crimes Unit, for a total of 115 people."

There are definitely a lot of people on hand, and there are also Chief Inspector Henry, Senior Inspector Chen Sheng, Shi Zhanpeng, Inspector Hou Canxing, and others assisting on site.

Lin Tiansheng alone simply does not have the authority to command such a large number of people. It was the result of William gradually delegating authority to him.

But the one he was dealing with wasn't a small gang, but the so-called number one gang in Hong Kong, Sun Kee.

More than 3,000 thugs have gathered along Nathan Road. In the 500-meter stretch in front of King Yee Restaurant alone, there are 1,300 people. Once the bloody fight begins, the police force will have to control more than ten times that number of people and will also be responsible for arresting Su Long, Lam Kong, Four-Eyes Taki, and others.
Although Pu Yongshi was taciturn, he was sharp-minded and asked, "What are your thoughts?"

Lin Tiansheng said, “Officer Pu, if more than a thousand people get into a ruckus, hundreds of people will be killed or injured. I suggest that the PTU load the first three rounds of live ammunition into the first magazine to quell the chaos with overwhelming force, and then proceed step by step to clear the streets.”

Chen Anquan, standing to the side, looked shocked. He hadn't expected the big boss to want to "massacre the New Police." Thirty PTU officers, ninety live rounds, would take away at least twenty or thirty corpses.

Pu Yongshi understood Lin Tiansheng's thoughts. After thinking for a moment, he picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered, "All team members, load three bullets!"

"receive."

The thirty blue-hatted men in the pork chop truck agreed, and without hesitation removed the magazines, unloaded three rubber bullets, and then loaded live ammunition.

"All three rounds loaded."

"Load three bullets!"

Lin Tiansheng said gratefully, "Thank you, Officer Pu."

"I trust you." Pu Yongshi had a wealth of experience in handling such matters and knew that Lin Tiansheng had asked him to load live ammunition in order to engage in a tactical game with the new reporter.

If successful, a single round of live ammunition would be enough to quickly achieve the objective. If it fails, the gang fight will escalate into a riot. However, there is one advantage: loading live ammunition will greatly improve the safety of PTU officers and reduce casualties among them on the streets.

Those gangsters who participated in the bloody battle and rushed to the front were all core members of the gang, with numerous crimes to their name. They were beaten to death in the streets and there is no need to pity them.

Lin Jiang parked his car in front of a tea restaurant on Shanghai Street. He and Si Yanlong got out of the car one after the other. Escorted by bodyguards, the two entered the restaurant and sat down.

Lin Jiang took out his mobile phone, dialed Su Long's number, and said, "Ah Long, I'll give you one more chance. Go to the Four Seasons Tea Restaurant on Shanghai Street and apologize with a thorn in your back."

Su Long sat in the teahouse and said coldly, "Why should I confess to something I didn't do?"

"Whether you did it or not, you know the answer in your heart. Xiang Sheng is waiting for you at the tea restaurant," Lin Jiang said. Su Long laughed: "Xiang Sheng, there are so many Xiang Shengs in Hong Kong, some are dead, some have run away, which one do you think it is?"

Four-Eyes Taki reached out and took the phone, saying in a deep voice, "It's me!"

Su Long's expression suddenly changed: "Who the hell are you? If you've got the guts, come to Jingyi Teahouse and talk to me."

Four-Eyes Taki, expressionless, took off his glasses, wiped his face with a hot towel handed to him by his bodyguard, and said in a menacing voice, "Bring Su Long to see me."

Su Long picked up his teacup, rinsed his mouth, and said into the phone, "Young Master Sheng, Si Yanlong is at the Four Seasons Tea Restaurant on Shanghai Street."

Axe-Head Jun walked boldly to the window, and in front of his more than a thousand brothers, threw his teacup onto the street: "Lin Jiang abused his power, colluded with the police, framed his fellow disciples, and is tantamount to a traitor."

"Defeat them."

Axe-Handsome is a legend in the martial arts world, and his henchmen are all loyal and daring.

"kill!"

"Slay Lin Jiang's lackeys."

With a shout, the thugs wearing yellow sashes swarmed forward and began fighting the Xiang family disciples.
