The Hunter's Path: Starting as a constable, ascend to the Old Ones.

Chapter 126 Request, Adolescence, Scheme

"An incompetent general can ruin an entire army. That idiot Peter Lee, he caused so many brothers to die in such a short time under his command, he truly deserves to die!"

While watching the news at St. Yuk Keung Secondary School, Chen Jiaju saw medical staff carrying stretchers, covering the fallen G4 Political Department officers with white sheets, and couldn't help but curse loudly.

"We can't let Peter Lee continue to mess things up like this."

Lu Ming frowned, not expecting Peter Li to be so incompetent, causing the police force to suffer heavy losses in such a short time.

If they continue to act recklessly, I don't know what police officers' lives will be sacrificed.

"I'm going out to make a phone call."

His eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment's thought, he came out of the lounge, took out his phone, and made a call.

"Which police chief was in charge of this? He's as stupid as a pig! How could someone like that become a high-ranking police officer? It must be a nepotism arrangement!"

In the news department of Asia Television, Lok Wai-ching sat in the production center watching the news report on TV. Seeing Peter Lee's chaotic commands sending people to their deaths, she angrily cursed him.

She said angrily, "Where's Inspector Lu? Inspector Lu and his team handled the kidnapping case at the Grand Hyatt Hotel so well last time, and now they're leaving this..."

"Why not use such elites and instead choose a pig? Have the police leadership lost their minds?!"

Because her father wouldn't allow her to go to the site for interviews, she's been holding back a lot of anger. When she saw Peter Lee's nonsensical instructions, she became even more furious and, like a keyboard warrior, started hurling insults at Peter Lee in the production center.

"Miss Zhen, we have received information that the person in charge is Peter Li from the Political Department. During the last kidnapping incident at the Grand Hotel, it was the Political Department that was responsible for the defense, but the kidnappers still managed to break in and kidnap us all."

When Li Yi found out the name of the on-site commander, he was immediately furious. It was those bastards in the Political Department who had made him so nervous at the Jundu Hotel last time. He never expected that only a few days later, the people in the Political Department would cause trouble again.

"Why is it those useless political department officers again? Don't the police higher-ups intend to rescue the hostages?"

Lok Hye-ching looked incredulous.

The fat man whispered, "The British are behind the political department." His words immediately revealed why the political department was able to continue to serve as the commander of the Adam Smith International School kidnapping case, even after the major blunder at the Grand Hotel last time.

So it turns out they really are connected by connections.

"These British bastards really don't care about the lives of our 25,000 police officers on Hong Kong Island. Letting an idiot like him give orders—isn't that blatantly trying to kill our officers?"

When Yue Huizhen thought of this, she immediately gritted her teeth.

Unfortunately, her anger was useless; she was just a small-time reporter under house arrest, and her influence on the bigger picture was negligible.

Jingle Bell!

Just as she was thinking this, the phone suddenly rang. She picked it up curiously. "Hello, this is the news department of Asia Television. This is reporter Lok Wai-ching."

"Miss Yue, such a big thing happened at Adam Smith International Elite School, and you still aren't on a mission?"

Lu Ming's voice was somewhat surprised. Given Le Huizhen's usual personality, she would have tried every means to interview people with such big news in front of her.

"So it's Inspector Lu."

When Yue Huizhen heard Lu Ming's voice, her eyes lit up, her brows relaxed, and her distressed face blossomed like a flower. She smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, I've been promoted and am now in charge of the news department, managing a large group of reporters."

"In that case, congratulations to Miss Le."

Lok Wai-ching smiled broadly and said, "Let's not talk about that. As the saying goes, no one visits a temple without a reason. What made you suddenly call me, Mr. Lu? It couldn't be to invite me to dinner, could it?"

Hearing Yue Huizhen's ambiguous tone, Idiot Li exchanged a glance with the fat man. Something was definitely going on!

Inspector Lu!

Officer Lu Ming, who saved them last time?

Indeed, the saying "a hero rescuing a damsel in distress" has always been the best way to win a beautiful woman's heart.

The young lady is about to fall for him.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Yue Huizhen blushed and pretended to be nonchalant as she left the production center.

Is anyone around you?

"I just came out of the room, and there's no one around, just me."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming remained silent for a moment, listening carefully to the voice on the other end of the phone. His hearing was exceptionally sharp, allowing him to analyze various clues from subtle sounds.

He could hear Lok Wai-ching's soft breathing through the electrical signal on the phone, as if she were gently exhaling warm breath from her almond-shaped lips beside his ear, which stirred a strange feeling in his heart.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the ripples in his heart, and listened quietly for a while to confirm that there was indeed only Yue Huizhen on the other side.

"Miss Yue, I need your help with something."

Lu Ming's voice was neither hurried nor slow.

"What is it? Although you are my savior, I have been thinking about how to repay you. I have not been able to help you in any way. I thought—I can't possibly repay you with my body. Now that you have something to ask of me, this is a good opportunity for me to repay you."

Lok Wai-ching was radiant, and her words always carried a hint of ambiguity and suggestion.

Lu Ming raised an eyebrow as he listened to Yue Huizhen's words, wondering to himself if this ATV heiress was having romantic thoughts.

He shook his head, ignoring the question, and said directly, "Now that you've been promoted, I wonder if you can decide on the content your Asia Television news department broadcasts? I want you to edit and compare the news content from the Cointreau Hotel kidnapping case with the current news content from the Adam Smith International School kidnapping case, and then broadcast it."

"A comparison of news reports on two kidnapping cases?"

Upon hearing this suggestion, Lok Wai-ching's spirits lifted, and her beautiful eyes lit up. As a reporter with a keen eye for news, she suddenly realized that broadcasting a comparative news report on these two kidnapping cases at this time would definitely boost the ratings.

The Cointreau Hotel kidnapping and the Adam Smith International School kidnapping are two recent kidnapping cases, but the success rates of the hostage rescues were vastly different.

"Will it work?"

Lu Ming confirmed whether Yue Huizhen had this authority.

Although he knew that Lok Wai-ching was the daughter of the chairman of Asia Television, he was unsure how much power Lok Wai-ching wielded at Asia Television.

"Leave it to me."

Yue Huizhen was in high spirits.

"Remember to highlight the commander at the time in your reports."

Lu Ming gave a detailed explanation.

His goal was to replace the commander with the director.

Firstly, only when the director is promoted will such a key figure like him be transferred to help.

Secondly, he also wanted to take the opportunity to help the director gain merit, which would make it easier for him to get promoted in the future.

Lu Ming was destined not to continue in the police system, but Serena had a business in Hong Kong Island, and if she didn't have connections in the government, she would easily attract unwanted attention.

That's why he planned to help the director get promoted.

The promotion of the Director means that both Uncle Biu and Chan Ka-kui will be promoted.

In this way, Lu Ming can maintain a network of connections within the police force and avoid all sorts of messy situations.

"Commander, I understand."

Le Huizhen is very smart. Lu Ming only needed to give her a hint, and she immediately understood that he was planning to replace the front-line commander of the Adam Smith International Noble School kidnapping case with one of his own people.

She said with concern, "Inspector Lu, your priority is to stay alive. Don't push yourself too hard." She knew that as long as the commander was replaced by the commissioner of the Central Police Station, Lu Ming would inevitably be in danger again, so she couldn't help but worry.

"Don't worry, I already have a plan, nothing will go wrong."

"I believe in you. Remember to come back safely."
