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

"Guys, the report on this 'Pig Hunt' operation is fresh out of the oven. Guess how many ruthless bandits Ah Ming killed in this operation?"

A policewoman with a few freckles walked into the Major Crimes Unit holding a document report, eager to share it with everyone.

Five!

Tang Zhen, who was rescued by Lu Ming, made a solemn declaration.

I guess there are seven.

Jin Dazui laughed heartily. He had personally witnessed Lu Ming kill four ruthless bandits, and he also learned that Lu Ming had killed two of Zhu Tao's henchmen while chasing Zhu Tao. If he added one more, it should be about right.

"Are there that many?"

The other officers in the Major Crimes Unit were unaware of Lu Ming's achievements and found it hard to believe. Generally speaking, killing one or two notorious criminals would be considered an extremely good result for them, but Tang Zhen and Jin Dazui had exaggerated Lu Ming's achievements so much.

It's an exaggeration.

I think there are three.

"I feel it's about that number."

The officers talked all at once, and most of them thought that Lu Ming's record would not exceed three.

"Everyone guessed wrong."

The policewoman who brought the report announced excitedly, "According to the report, Ah Ming killed a total of 11 ruthless criminals in this operation."

What the hell!

Everyone in the Major Crimes Unit was shocked. Zhu Tao's gang, including Kun Cha's underlings, only had more than 20 people in total. Lu Ming killed half of them all by himself.

What kind of efficiency is this?

Are they lining up to die?

"Ah Ming, did you really kill that many people?"

They looked at Lu Ming, who was sitting in the corner, in disbelief. Lu Ming thought for a moment, then nodded, "I think so!"

"Ah Ming, you're amazing!"

"From now on, you will be my idol."

The officers looked at Lu Ming with admiration. Taking out half of the opposing team with a .38 rifle could not be explained simply as a sharpshooter.

"Ah Ming, in my opinion, you should be the 'model policeman'."

They laughed and joked.

"Things can't be explained that way."

Lu Ming shrugged. "If that's your logic, then I should be number one."

Haha!

Everyone burst into laughter, but then suddenly noticed that Chan Ka-kui was standing at the entrance of the Serious Crimes Unit, looking somewhat embarrassed.

cough cough.

The officer, who had been joking, coughed lightly and immediately pretended to be busy.

"Ka-Kui, don't we need to shoot any more promotional posters today?"

Lu Ming called out to Chen Jiaju.

"It was all finished yesterday."

Chan Ka-kui scratched his head. "The director asked me to come and call you. He has something to tell us."

"Is the chief of staff looking for us?"

Lu Ming's eyes flashed, and he already guessed what it was about, but he didn't expect that it would involve him.

……

"Ah Ming, thank you for earlier."

Chen Jiaju expressed his gratitude to Lu Ming with a troubled expression. Lu Ming patted him on the shoulder and said, "Jiaju, don't feel guilty or like you owe anyone anything. You deserve the honor of being a 'model police officer'."

Lu Ming wasn't just comforting Chen Jiaju; he genuinely believed that Chen Jiaju deserved this honor.

Throughout his many years as a police officer, Chan Ka-kui has solved numerous major cases and arrested a series of notorious criminals. He is known for his fearless approach to solving cases.

The only downside is that it sometimes causes trouble, leaving the police station with huge financial losses.

"Thanks."

"Let's go, don't keep the chief waiting too long."

……

"I will not be your prosecution witness; don't even dream about it."

Accompanied by her lawyer Zhang, Serena resolutely refused the police's request for her to appear in court as a prosecution witness.

"Ms. Serena, according to the law, citizens have a responsibility to cooperate with the work of the public security, procuratorate and judiciary, so you have no right to refuse. Please accept this court summons."

Serena looked at Attorney Zhang and, after confirming that she had no right to refuse, had no choice but to accept the court summons.

"Officer Chen, Officer Lu, from now on, you will be protecting Miss Serena until she appears in court to testify."

Seeing that Serena and Attorney Zhang had already fallen into the trap, Uncle Biao smiled and instructed Lu Ming and Chen Jiaju to protect Serena closely to prevent Zhu Tao from resorting to desperate measures to kill her and silence her.

"I don't need their protection."

When Serena saw that it was Lu Ming and Chen Jiaju again, she was immediately furious because Chen Jiaju had handcuffed her to the steering wheel, forcing her to be jostled in Lu Ming's arms.

Just thinking about that scene makes her furious, and she wishes she could complain about the two of them every day.

"You have no right to refuse unless they harass you."

Upon hearing this, Serena became furious and pointed at Lu Ming, complaining, "He not only harassed me, but he also... he... he touched me in the car... and then pointed a gun at me from behind. He's a complete scoundrel! I'm going to file a complaint against him!"

"Miss Serena, what are you saying? We don't understand."

Uncle Biao and the others exchanged bewildered glances, unable to discern the hidden meaning in Shalena's words.

Chen Jiaju frowned. "Ms. Serena, when we police officers are making arrests, physical contact is unavoidable, but I can assure you that our officers did not intend to harass you."

He was in the car at the time and understood what Serena meant, but in this emergency, he believed that Lu Ming did not do it intentionally, so he firmly refused to allow Serena to slander Lu Ming.

Chen Jiaju was the first to disagree with the smearing of Lu Ming, an outstanding police officer who could refuse the honor of "model policeman" and the temptation of Zhu Tao's million-dollar bill.

"Ms. Serena, we will not arbitrarily change the officer protecting you unless we can provide convincing evidence. Moreover, Officer Lu is one of the best officers in our Central Police Station, and I have faith in his professional ethics and personal character."

Ultimately, the director made the final decision, leaving Serena with no choice but to accept the protection of Lu Ming and Chen Jiaju.

"I won't say a word."

Serena angrily picked up her handbag and left with Attorney Zhang.

"Ka-Kui, Ah-Ming, if you have the chance, record her statement."

Uncle Biao shoved a tape recorder into Chen Jiaju's arms, suggesting that they record Shalina's statement about Zhu Tao's criminal process as evidence in court if they had the chance.

"In addition, the government will provide you with an extra allowance of 32.8 yuan per day during the period you are protecting the witnesses... This amount was set many years ago and has not been adjusted yet. If it is not enough, you will have to make up the difference yourself."

"..."

In Hong Kong Island, where prices are high, what can you do with a daily allowance of HK$32.80?

It's not even enough to cover the gas costs.

It's a paid job.

Lu Ming muttered a complaint, but since he wasn't materialistic, he didn't bother with it. He then straightened his expression and said, "Chief, given the possibility that Zhu Tao might send a gunman to assassinate Salina, could we request six more bullets for self-defense?"

"You're right. Write me a note, and I'll approve it for you."

The director thought about it and realized he was right. Zhu Tao was no saint; he was a major drug lord who kept a group of desperate criminals. If Serena really threatened his safety...

Given Zhu Tao's ruthlessness, he might very well commit murder to silence witnesses.

"Yes, sir!"

Lu Ming's eyes flickered slightly as he calculated that no matter who Zhu Tao sent, he would eventually turn them into dead men.

If we're short of players, we'll just fill in the gaps.
