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

Chapter 128 Temporary Commander, Deploying Troops (Part 2)

At the school gate, anti-explosive vehicles have already been deployed.

"Brothers, this rescue can't go wrong. Let's work together to get the hostages out, and promotions and raises will be within reach."

The captain of the G4 unit, wearing a bulletproof vest, rallied his subordinates and gave them a pep talk.

"Set off!"

He picked up an MP5 submachine gun and, with the cover of an armored vehicle, led the G4 unit step by step from the school gate toward the target building.

"Those idiots in the political department have finally learned to be smart."

In the command center, Ross received a report from his subordinates. He glanced at the news broadcast on TV and realized that the police deployment was no longer visible. He couldn't help but laugh.

"Using armored vehicles for propulsion is a good method."

He expressed his approval of the assault tactics employed by the G4 force, but showed no concern whatsoever. The other terrorists also appeared relaxed, seemingly unconcerned that the G4 force would advance to their command post.

"Shouldn't we move on to the next step of our plan?"

Inside the command center, a tall, thin man with a somewhat unkempt appearance looked eager to try.

"Danny, do it."

Ross gave a mocking smile. "They don't want to stream, so we'll stream it for them."

"Yes!"

The man called Danny kept operating on the computer, and finally pressed the confirmation button, laughing loudly, "OK, I have hacked into the transmission signals of those three TV stations and inserted our signal. Now, the viewers sitting in front of the TV are watching our TV programs."

""

"Danny, well done."

Ross glanced up at the news channel on TV, and sure enough, the content had changed to what they were filming. One scene showed an empty square, and the other showed kidnapped hostages.

"Miss Zhen, look at the news on TV—"

At Asia Television, Lok Wai-ching was directing others to edit content from two kidnapping cases and then broadcast it to the news channel of her television tower when she suddenly heard Idiot Lee shout.

"What are you doing?"

She looked over with displeasure, but when she saw the footage on the news broadcast, her beautiful eyes widened instantly as she realized what had happened: "These terrorists have hijacked our TV station's broadcast signal."

"Cut off the signal immediately."

Just then, Ross's face appeared on the television news. He held a Glock pistol to Zhou Wenjian's temple, whose face was filled with terror. "Station directors, I know you are about to cut off our broadcast signal, but—"

Click!

He cocked his pistol and said with a grin, "If you cut off one of our signals, I'll just take him out."

"I forgot to introduce you, this is Officer Zhou from the Political Department."

"Inspector Zhou, please say hello to everyone!"

"Sir, save me, I don't want to die."

Zhou Wenjian was in tears, desperately pleading for help. His cowardly and timid appearance completely disgraced the Hong Kong police, earning the contempt of viewers watching on television.

The lackeys of the Political Department are indeed a bunch of spineless bastards who beg on their knees.

"You see, Zhou Sir doesn't want to die, and not only him, but all of us behind him don't want to die either."

As he spoke, the muzzle of his gun slowly swept across the panicked faces.

He took out a list and called out names like a teacher in class, saying, "Let me introduce you to a few more students."

"Li Mingqiang, son of the Commissioner of Police of Hong Kong Island."

"Danvers and Jenny, these are the children of the foreign consul."

"Zhang Jin, the son of your Financial Secretary."

"Xu Jingsi, this is the daughter of the vice president of Yuanda Group—"

"Tell me, if they die because you cut off the signal, what will be your fate?"

At major television stations, technicians were frantically arranging to cut off the transmission signal when they immediately received reports from their subordinates. They were horrified when they saw Ross's speech on the television news.

These terrorists forcibly tied the hostages' lives to their television station's broadcast. Originally, the whole kidnapping case had nothing to do with them, but now that they dared to cut off the signal, they would inevitably be resented by the families of the murdered hostages.

This immediately put them in a dilemma.

"Call your superiors immediately and tell them to find a solution."

The heads of major TV stations were forced to shift the blame, since they didn't want to get involved in the matter and would be the ones to suffer if something went wrong.

"Ah Xing!"

Meanwhile, at Sheng Yuqiang Middle School, Teacher He's eyes widened as she watched the news on television. She spotted a familiar figure among the students.

Stephen Chow!

She always thought Stephen Chow was working in the Serious Crimes Unit, so how come he was transferred to go undercover?

"It's necessary for work. As for other related matters—I'm sorry, it involves police secrets, and we cannot disclose them."

Lu Ming simply helped cover it up.

"These terrorists are really cunning. They hijacked the television broadcast signal, kidnapped all the television stations, and forced them to broadcast the kidnapping to expand their influence and coerce the British government into releasing their organization's leader."

Chen Jiaju looked at Ross, who was acting arrogantly on TV, and was very unhappy.

"Let's wait and see, maybe we'll get a chance to play."

Lu Ming stared at Zhou Xingxing in the group of students on the screen and smiled slightly.

beep!

While major television stations were having their signals hijacked, an unusual mechanical sound suddenly rang out from the ground as the anti-riot vehicle advanced halfway into the empty square.

Upon hearing the sound, the captain got goosebumps all over and yelled, "Watch out for landmines!" He then lunged forward.

The next moment————

boom!

A huge explosion resounded throughout the scene, and the blast-proof vehicle responsible for covering the advance of the G4 unit was overturned.

"They've planted landmines in the square! Retreat! Retreat now!"

The captain was in excruciating pain from the shockwave of the explosion. He gritted his teeth and shouted for his subordinates to evacuate immediately.

"team leader!"

The surviving G4 team members, dragging their captain who seemed to have dislocated internal organs and was in excruciating pain, retreated in a panic.

This scene was captured on camera and broadcast on the news channels of major television stations, causing all the viewers in front of their televisions to scream in shock. Seeing the bloody and mangled scene on the screen made their stomachs churn, and they eventually couldn't help but vomit violently.

These ordinary people had never witnessed such a bloody scene before, and they were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

"The on-site commander is an incompetent fool who has repeatedly cost our young men their lives."

"We must change the commander. Let the commander from the last Cointreau Hotel kidnapping case take command, and replace that lackey from the political department."

"Yes, let the more capable people rise to the top, and get rid of the cronies."

"We want to protest, we want to file a complaint."

They witnessed police officers, who were once alive, being blown to pieces in an instant. Unable to contain their anger any longer, they bombarded the police force, security department, and other departments with phone calls.

We strongly demand that Peter Lee be removed from his position as the on-site commander and replaced with the Commissioner of the Central Police Station.

This surge of public opinion was quickly relayed to the command vehicle on site.

"Boss, what should we do now?"

"What to do? Just leave it as is, of course."

The leader, with a stern face, glared at Peter Lee and said, "If you can't use the opportunity I gave you, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

"I hereby announce the removal of Peter Lee from his position as field commander."

Peter Lee's body went limp, and he slumped onto the stool, his eyes lifeless. He had completely ruined his future.
