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

"When I was a child, my family was very poor. I dreamed of how happy I would be if I could eat at a street food stall every day."

After having a late-night snack, Lu Ming and Serena strolled along the streets of Hong Kong Island under the night sky, heading towards the parking lot.

Serena gazed at the bright moon in the sky and couldn't help but sigh.

"Now your wish has come true, you can eat at street food stalls every day if you want."

Lu Ming said with a smile.

"My childhood dream has come true, and now I have a new dream: I hope to become a very rich woman in the future."

Serena linked arms with Lu Ming and sincerely made her new wish.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "You will achieve it." Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, his brows furrowed slightly, and he shielded Salina behind him.

"Ah-Ming, what happened?"

When Serena saw Lu Ming's unusual behavior, her heart tightened.

"It seems someone doesn't want us to go back."

Lu Ming's eyes flashed. His keen hearing allowed him to hear more than a dozen heavy breathing sounds as he stepped into the parking lot.

However, there was not a single person in sight.

This is clearly not normal.

I never expected Zhu Tao's revenge to come so quickly!

Lu Ming quietly opened the holster, a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Skill--

Hawkeye!

As the skill was activated, his vision expanded instantly, as if a heavenly eye was hanging in the sky, watching over everything below.

More than a dozen gangsters, armed with steel pipes and wooden sticks, were either clinging to the back of load-bearing pillars or crouching under cars.

Click!

Just then, a Passat in the parking lot suddenly opened its door, and Cao Charlie, Zhu Tao's strategist with a smug look on his face, got out of the car. Looking at Lu Ming and Serena, he laughed loudly, "Gentlemen, we meet again. I'll give you my boss's greetings."

"Charlie Cho!?"

Serena cried out in surprise and instinctively moved closer to Lu Ming's body.

Lu Ming's eyes were sharp as he sized up Cao Charlie. He couldn't sense any threat from Cao Charlie, which put him at ease.

His intuition is exceptionally sharp, allowing him to sense danger from his targets.

The fact that Charlie Cao posed no threat indicates that he was not carrying any weapons that could endanger him.

What does it mean that Zhu Tao sent this guy to intercept them?

Lu Ming frowned and checked Chen Jiaju's location in his mind, finding that Chen Jiaju was staying at home obediently and there was nothing unusual about him.

"Salena, the boss wants to see you. Come with me!" Charlie Cao sneered. "If you know what's good for you, you'll behave and not force me to use force."

"I have nothing to do with Zhu Tao anymore. Stop bothering me, or I'll call the police."

Serena snorted, distancing herself from Zhu Tao.

"Call the police?"

Charlie Cao chuckled, his gaze landing on Lu Ming. "I almost forgot, you're hooking up with the cops now. No wonder you're so bold, you have a powerful backer. But..."

He suddenly pulled out a Black Star pistol as if by magic, pointed it at Lu Ming, and said, "Kid, my boss specifically asked for your life. Don't blame me, I'm just doing my job for money."

"Ah Ming, be careful."

When Serena saw Charlie Cho pull out his gun, she tensed up.

Lu Ming's sharp eyes scrutinized the Black Star pistol in Cao Charlie's hand. He immediately recognized it as a fake. Although the forgery was very sophisticated, Lu Ming's keen observation revealed the obvious plastic texture on the gun.

Is Charlie Cho trying to scare people with a fake gun?

Lu Ming sneered inwardly, "Fake gun, huh? I'll take it as real."

"Cao Charlie, don't do anything reckless. Ah Ming is a policeman. Assaulting a policeman is a serious crime, and killing a policeman will land you in jail for life."

Serena warned loudly and nervously.

You have a point.

Charlie Cao gave a sinister smile, then clapped his hands. Immediately afterward, the gangsters who had been lying in ambush all around rushed out as if they had heard the axemen smashing the cup, and surrounded Lu Ming and Salina, brandishing their weapons and glaring at them menacingly.

Looking at the group of thugs who had just attacked the police, Lu Ming sometimes couldn't understand why they were so bold. Weren't they afraid of the gun in his hand?

"Brave Detective, I know you're a good fighter, but I wonder if you could take on more than ten at once?"

Charlie Cho held up a gun, his face full of smugness.

Lu Ming remained noncommittal to Cao Charlie's words, then pulled out his police ID and warned, "Listen up, all of you. I'm an officer from the Central Police Station's Major Crimes Unit, badge number PC9848. Are you sure you want to attack me?"

The gangsters exchanged glances and laughed nonchalantly, "Officer, you think you're so tough?"

The gang leader picked up a steel pipe and slowly slapped his own palm, saying disdainfully, "We call you 'Sir' out of respect, but if we didn't... we'd just call you 'Damn it'."

"Ha ha!"

The other gangsters burst into laughter.

Charlie Cao chuckled, "Detective, don't put on airs like you stinky cops. We're not buying it."

"Also, hand over your police gun obediently, or don't blame my Black Star pistol for being blind."

boom! boom! boom!

The word "eye" had barely left his lips when a gunshot rang out instantly. Two bloody holes appeared on his forehead and body, splattering blood. He looked stunned, seemingly unable to believe that Lu Ming would dare to fire so easily, and even more unable to believe that he would die like this.

Charlie Cao, gun in hand, fell to the ground with a thud, his eyes wide open, the last thought echoing in his mind—had he always been this brave? Didn't he know I had a gun?

Boom!

Lu Ming was completely unconcerned about Cao Charlie's death, his finger constantly pulling the trigger, emptying the magazine of the .38 caliber bullets in one go.

The gang leader who had just mocked Lu Ming also suddenly had two more bloody holes in his body.

In addition, two other unlucky thugs fell to the ground screaming in pain.

Lu Ming, without changing his expression, quickly ejected the bullets and skillfully took out a quick-load device to refill the magazine.

Boom!

Gunshots rang out again, this time three shots in quick succession, hitting three more gangsters.

what!what!what!

The empty parking lot was suddenly filled with the screams of the gangsters.

The other gangsters were completely terrified, and the steel pipes and wooden sticks in their hands fell to the ground with a thud.

"Everyone, put your hands behind your heads and squat down against the wall."

Lu Ming, holding up a Type 38 rifle, issued a loud warning with a serious expression.

"Everyone, get down quickly! This guy really dares to shoot!"

The remaining gangsters were terrified. In all their years in the underworld, this was the first time they had ever seen a cop so decisive in firing a gun.

Aren't these four guys afraid of being held accountable afterward?

afraid?

Lu Ming chuckled. He was least afraid of this kind of thing. As long as someone was taken, he wouldn't be afraid of being punished by the police force.

Anyway, he doesn't plan to be a policeman for long.

Do whatever you want!

"Everyone, lie down. If there's any movement, I can't guarantee my gun won't accidentally go off."

Under Lu Ming's gaze, the remaining gangsters, pale-faced, obediently squatted down, no longer daring to be arrogant.

"Salena, call the police!"

Lu Ming told Shalena to call the police, while he went forward to check on Cao Charlie. He glanced at the Black Star pistol in Cao Charlie's hand, his eyes flashing slightly. He crouched down to block the view of others, then opened his backpack and took out the Black Star pistol he had hidden to switch it with Cao Charlie's fake gun.

Let him turn the imposter into the real deal!
