Chapter 96 Liu Jianming's Choice

In Han Chen's office on the second floor of the bar in Tsim Sha Tsui, a news report was playing on the television: "Regarding the shooting incident that occurred in Sheung Wan this afternoon, the body of one of the fugitive suspects was found by police an hour ago. Police have confirmed that the suspect was undercover police officer Xu Weiqiang, who was dispatched to carry out the mission." The police expressed deep regret and stated they would solve the case as soon as possible!

Han Chen watched the television with a blank expression. After watching the news segment, he took the remote and turned off the TV. He looked up at his underling beside him and asked, "Where's Ah Ren?"

The younger brother bowed slightly: "Boss, Brother Ren is downstairs!"

Han Chen shook the remote control in his hand: "Call him up."

"Okay!" The younger brother said and went out.

A few minutes later, the henchman led Ah Ren in: "Boss, Brother Ren is here!"

Han Chen turned around and looked at Chen Yongren: "Here you are, Ah Ren!" Then he looked at his henchmen beside him: "You all get out!"

After everyone left, Han Chen patted Chen Yongren on the shoulder: "What's wrong with Sha Qiang?"

Chen Yongren swallowed hard. "Brother Chen, I killed Sha Qiang. This afternoon, when that policeman died, I noticed Sha Qiang's expression was a bit off. We drove off together, and on the way, I asked him why he wasn't there earlier, but he couldn't answer, so—I killed him!"

Han Chen nodded slightly: "Not bad!"

Chen Yongren suddenly remembered something: "Brother Chen, you didn't take him to that warehouse, did you? If he finds out, we'll be in trouble!"

Han Chen suddenly turned his head to stare at Chen Yongren, blinked, and then turned his head back: "Go wait outside!"

Chen Yongren raised an eyebrow, said nothing, and turned to leave the office.

A few minutes later, Chen Yongren saw Han Chen come out of the office after changing his clothes.

Han Chen waved to Chen Yongren: "Let's go!"

Chen Yongren quickly followed.

When Chen Yongren followed Han Chen out of the bar, there were already two cars waiting outside.

Han Chen turned to look at Chen Yongren and pointed to a car next to them: "You sit in that one!"

Chen Yongren nodded, opened the car door, and got in.

After getting into the car, Han Chen took out his phone and called Liu Jianming: "Hey, I'm going to the warehouse tonight to get rid of the tails!"

"Brother Chen, you don't need to go to the warehouse yourself, do you?" Liu Jianming advised on the other end of the phone.

Han Chen frowned: "I don't want anyone to know the password!"

"Understood, I'll transfer the person away for you. Be careful!" Liu Jianming hung up the phone after saying that.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jianming looked up at Guan Zu sitting opposite him: "Azu, I've done as you asked, can you please let me go?"

Rewind 15 minutes. In Liu Jianming's office at the Major Crimes Unit, Liu Jianming, who had just returned from the Internal Affairs Department office, had just made himself a cup of coffee when he heard a knock on the door. Turning around, he saw Guan Zu standing outside the door through the glass: "Come in!"

Guan Zu pushed open the door and entered. As soon as he stepped inside, he turned around and closed the door, then plopped down in the chair opposite Liu Jianming. Liu Jianming looked at Guan Zu and smiled, "Ah Zu, what brings you here?" He pointed to the coffee pot beside him.

Would you like a drink?

Guan Zu glanced at the coffee pot and nodded: "I've heard that the Major Crimes Unit's coffee is the best in the entire police force, but I've never had a chance to try it. Thanks to you today!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jianming took out a cup, poured coffee into it, and handed it to Guan Zu: "What do you want?" After saying that, he sat down in his boss's chair.

Guan Zu took the coffee, smelled it, blew on it, and then took a small sip. "It's really good! Jianming, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with!"

Liu Jianming picked up his coffee and took a small sip. "We're so familiar with each other, don't be so polite. What's up?"

Guan Zu looked up at Liu Jianming: "Brother Jianming, when Han Chen calls you later, could you help me lie to him?"

As soon as Guan Zu finished speaking, Liu Jianming's face turned deathly pale. He opened his mouth slightly, then swallowed twice: "What do you mean?"

Guan Zu put down his coffee cup, his eyes fixed on Liu Jianming: "Hey Jianming, when Han Chen calls you later, could you lie to him for me? Okay?"

Liu Jianming didn't say anything, he just stared at Guan Zu.

Guan Zu shrugged, took a small tape recorder from his pocket, pressed play, placed it on the table, and then stood up, searching for something in Liu Jianming's office. Just then, a voice came from the recorder: "Ordering next week!"

"Things are getting tense lately!"

"You go about your business, don't worry about me!"

"We're investigating an internal mole right now, I can't help you!"

"So you weren't worried about me, you were worried about yourself, Officer Liu!"

The sound stopped abruptly there!

Liu Jianming looked up at Guan Zu, unable to utter a single word.

While the recording was playing, Guan Zu wandered around the office looking for something. After the recording finished, Guan Zu found what he was looking for, pulled out a yellow file folder from a thick stack of documents, and placed it in front of Liu Jianming: "This recording was made the day you took this file folder. You should remember what happened that day, right?"

Liu Jianming glanced at the yellow file folder, took a few deep breaths, and gradually calmed down. After all, Guan Zu had come alone, without anyone else, which meant there was still room for negotiation: "When did you find out?"

Guan Zu sat down in his chair and picked up the coffee on the table: "I knew it was you the first time you told Han Chen about my plans and he ruined my operation."

Liu Jianming frowned and thought for a moment: "The time with the left hand?"

Guan Zu nodded: "Yes, that time! So, have you thought it over? Will you help me out?" Seeing that Liu Jianming didn't respond, Guan Zu added, "Brother Jianming, to be honest, don't you want to get rid of this guy who's driven you to this predicament step by step?"

Liu Jianming's eyes flickered upon hearing Guan Zu's words, but he remained silent.

Guan Zu was not in a hurry. He held his coffee cup and savored it slowly, quietly waiting for Liu Jianming's choice.

After a while, Liu Jianming's phone rang. He took it out and saw it was Han Chen!

Liu Jianming looked up at Guan Zu with a questioning look in his eyes. Guan Zu smiled, shrugged, and gestured for him to proceed.

Liu Jianming placed his phone on the table, pressed the answer button, and turned on speakerphone: "Hey, I'm going to the warehouse tonight to get rid of the tails following behind!"

Liu Jianming stared at Guan Zu and slowly said, "Brother Chen, you don't need to go to the warehouse yourself, do you?"

The conversation ended quickly, and time has returned to the present!

"Grandpa, I've done as you instructed. Can you please let me go?"

After hearing Liu Jianming's words, Guan Zu put his coffee cup on the table and said, "You know what you've done. The reason I didn't bring anyone with me was to give you some face! Brother Jianming, you should turn yourself in!"

"Can't you give me a chance? I want to be a good person too!" Liu Jianming stood up, his hands on the table, his eyes fixed on Guan Zu.

Guan Zu shook his head and looked directly into Liu Jianming's eyes: "If I let you go this time, do you think all the wrong things you did before can be wiped clean?"

Can you guarantee that no one but me knows your identity? What will you do if someone uses this to threaten you and force you to break the law for them?

Should we continue living like this? Or should we kill him?

After hearing Guan Zu's words, Liu Jianming deflated like a punctured balloon, slumping into his boss's chair: "Do I really have no choice?"

"This time, you get to choose!" Guan Zu sat up straight and looked at Liu Jianming. "If you really want to be a good person, as you say, then turn yourself in. I'll go and arrest Han Chen. Your assistance will be a major contribution, and I'll plead with the judge to reduce your sentence. When you come out, you can live with your head held high and never have to worry about anyone threatening you again!"

At this point, Guan Zu stood up: "I'll go capture Han Chen first. When I return, I hope you've made the right choice!"

After saying that, he turned to leave, but suddenly, Guan Zu turned back and stretched out his hand to Liu Jianming: "Brother Jianming, could I borrow your cell phone for a moment?"

Liu Jianming hesitated for a moment, but still handed his phone to Guan Zu. In the current situation, it would be easier for things to go wrong if he didn't hand it over.

Guan Zu took his phone and left the office!

Liu Jianming was left with a difficult decision.
