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

Statue Square!

Lu Ming and Chen Jiaju stared at the bloody scene before them, momentarily speechless.

Outside the phone booth, Ma Jun squatted in front of a dead man whose neck had been cut and whose eyes were wide open in death. He slowly looked up at a man lying on the ground not far away who had been stabbed to death.

"Call the white car immediately!"

When Chan Ka-kui saw two dead bodies, he instinctively called for an ambulance. Regardless of whether they could be saved, this was the correct procedure.

"Officer Ma, have you called the police?"

Lu Ming scanned the surrounding area with his eagle eye but couldn't see any suspicious people. Looking at the two dead bodies in front of him, he felt that the scene looked somewhat familiar.

Ma Jun reached out and closed the deceased's eyes, then slowly stood up, took a deep breath, and said, "The two deceased were employees of the Major Crimes Unit of our Western District Police Station."

Killing a police officer?

Kill two people at once?

Lu Ming and Chen Jiaju were both alarmed; this was a major case.

People of the same kind feel sorrow for each other.

Killing a police officer will always provoke a strong reaction and hatred within the police force.

Once the murderer is identified, the entire Hong Kong Island police force will actively hunt him down.

For example, Ji Zhengxiong was wanted by senior police officers for killing three officers from the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit. A reward of one million dollars was offered for his capture, and the entire Hong Kong Island police force was mobilized to search for him.

"Who did it? Do you have any leads?"

Lu Ming got straight to the point.

"Wang Bao, the gang leader who dominates the entire underground underworld in the western district."

Ma Jun clenched his fist, making a crisp cracking sound, and a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes.

Like Chan Ka-Kui, he is a man of great loyalty and righteousness. He hates the people who killed his men the most. Previously, when the three brothers from the Vietnamese gang killed his boss, Inspector Wong, and kidnapped his brother Wah Sang's girlfriend to force Wah Sang to go and rescue her, he disregarded his future and, without saying a word, directly took Inspector Wong hostage at the courthouse entrance and went to rescue her.

Now that his partner has died at Wang Bao's hands, how could he possibly stand it?

"Wang Bao?" Chen Jiaju was taken aback. "Is he supposed to be a major drug lord who controls the entire underground underworld in the West District?" Compared to Zhu Tao, Wang Bao was even more ruthless. He seemed to have no mercy when it came to killing people. He had been prosecuted by the police three times, but each time before the trial, all the prosecution witnesses would die due to various accidents, allowing Wang Bao to escape legal punishment time and time again due to insufficient evidence.

In the underground underworld of the West District, there's a saying that goes: "After midnight, Wang Bao is in charge here."

His words were extremely arrogant, which infuriated the police, but they were unable to do anything about Wang Bao and could only watch helplessly as he ran rampant in the area.

Even though they knew Wang Bao was secretly trafficking drugs, they couldn't find any evidence.

"Wang Bao has gone mad. How dare he kill a policeman so blatantly?" Chen Jiaju frowned. "No matter how powerful Wang Bao is, he's just a gangster. Can he be more powerful than the Hong Kong British government?"

Although Wang Bao was very arrogant in the past, committing murder, arson, smuggling, drug trafficking, and all sorts of evil deeds, he always adhered to one bottom line: never kill a policeman!

Killing a police officer on Hong Kong Island has serious consequences. Basically, once you commit this crime, it's impossible to survive on Hong Kong Island. You either have to smuggle yourself out and never come back, or you have to wait to be slowly tortured to death by the police.

For gangsters like Wang Bao who own many establishments, dealing with them is very simple. The police only need to raid their establishments every day, and within ten days to two weeks, all of Wang Bao's establishments will be shut down, resulting in heavy losses.

"Wang Bao!?"

When Lu Ming heard the name, his eyes flashed, and he immediately realized what was going on. It turned out to be the plot of "Sha Po Lang".

After receiving clear intelligence from an undercover agent, the officers of the Western District Police Station's Major Crimes Unit raided Wang Bao's drug den, seizing all of Wang Bao's goods and money. However, instead of handing the money over to the police station, they hid it away themselves.

Wang Bao sensed something was wrong and quickly discovered the mole in his life, killing him to silence him.

When the officers of the Major Crimes Unit saw their brother killed, they were naturally not going to let it go. So they came up with a plan to fabricate evidence to frame Wang Bao and send him to prison.

This act thoroughly enraged Wang Bao, who then proceeded to ruthlessly kill the men in the Western District Police Department's Major Crimes Unit.

Otherwise, according to common sense, Wang Bao would not have killed a policeman, because that would have caused a series of troubles.

But faced with enormous profits and threats, he would dare to kill not only the police, but even the Governor of Hong Kong.

Clearly, the guys from the Western District Police Department's Major Crimes Unit had crossed Wang Bao's line.

Of course, Lu Ming didn't think there was anything wrong with using any means to deal with a drug lord. The biggest problem with these guys from the West District Police Department's Major Crimes Unit was that they had already thought of framing Wang Bao for murder, but they hadn't thought of just shooting Wang Bao and killing themselves for nothing.

"Could you please watch over my two men for me? I'm going to make a phone call."

Ma Jun, feeling heavy-hearted, walked to the side, picked up the phone, and dialed. Lu Ming's ears perked up, and his keen hearing allowed him to clearly hear the conversation between Ma Jun and the person on the other end.

"Hua Ge and his gang are in trouble. They know you have brain cancer and don't have much time left, so they secretly hid Wang Bao's money to help you raise your daughter..."

"What are you going to do now? The plot to frame Wang Bao has been exposed, and the police are investigating you."

"I'll go back to the police station, get the money, and hand it all over to Wang Bao. You wait for me at the usual spot..."

"The three of us died at Wang Bao's hands, and this matter won't just end like this."

Soon, Ma Jun hung up the phone and returned to Lu Ming and Chen Jiaju. He forced a smile and said, "I have something important to take care of. I need you to help my two men with their funeral arrangements. Thank you."

"Are you going to find Wang Bao?"

Lu Ming said abruptly.

Ma Jun paused, but did not say anything.

Lu Ming said slowly and deliberately, "I just overheard your conversation on the phone." As soon as he said this, Ma Jun turned to look at him in surprise.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. It's just that I have very sharp ears and can hear very faint sounds from a distance. You happened to be a little excited when you were on the phone just now, and you unconsciously raised your voice, which I heard."

Lu Ming looked at Ma Jun and slowly said, "Are you planning to pay money to get a chance to meet Wang Bao, and then take the opportunity to kill him?"

"Do you realize that this act of settling a personal score will make it impossible for you to continue working as a police officer?"

"I know, but my brother died at Wang Bao's hands, I can't pretend I didn't see it."

Ma Jun clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, his eyes flashing with hatred. He said in a deep voice, "My purpose as a policeman is to send bastards like Wang Bao to prison, but right now we can't find any evidence of Wang Bao's crimes, so we can only deal with him in this way."

He has never been one to follow the rules; he is willing to use illegal or irregular means to uphold his own sense of justice.

Ma Jun looked at Lu Ming and Chen Jiaju, and pleaded through gritted teeth, "Please pretend you didn't see this, and don't stop me." Originally, he planned to secretly go with Inspector Chen Guozhong from the Major Crimes Unit of the Western District Police Station to get money to see Wang Bao, and then desperately kill Wang Bao to avenge his three buddies.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ming overheard his phone conversation, putting him in a passive position.

All he could do was ask Lu Ming and Chen Jiaju not to stop him from taking revenge.

"Ka-Kui, what do you think?"

Lu Ming did not answer Ma Jun's question immediately, but instead looked at Chen Jiaju, who seemed a little confused.

Chen Jiaju had no idea about the details of the matter, but from the conversation between Lu Ming and Ma Jun, he could confirm that Ma Jun was now determined to kill Wang Bao, even if it meant he could no longer work as a policeman.

According to police regulations, he naturally had to stop Ma Jun from doing something foolish.

But deep down, he could understand Ma Jun's anger and hatred, and even more so, Ma Jun's determination to kill Wang Bao.

So when Lu Ming asked this question, he couldn't help but hesitate.

"Officer Ma, do you have a car? Why don't you take us? We'll take you back to the police station to get the money. Hopefully, you can figure out the key issues on the way."

Seeing Chen Jiaju hesitate, Lu Ming smiled inwardly and said nothing more, simply offering to send Ma Jun back to get the money.

The implication is that he will not stop Ma Jun from settling personal scores.

Chen Jiaju understood what Lu Ming meant and breathed a sigh of relief, finally free from his worries.

Thank you!

Ma Jun solemnly expressed his gratitude to Lu Ming and Chen Jiaju. At the same time, he was happy for the two to take him back to the police station to prevent them from calling the police station to stop him as soon as he left.

Let's go!

Lu Ming and the other two walked to the car together, briefly explained the situation to Shalena and Amei, and asked them to help call the police and clean up the scene.

"Please be careful."

Serena and Ame gave them concerned advice, noting that Lu Ming and Chen Jiaju both appeared drunk, making them worry about whether the two were reliable drivers.

However, in reality, Lu Ming was just pretending to be drunk. Having learned his lesson from getting drunk during his promotion to police chief last time, he was smarter this time and pretended to be drunk in order to escape this drinking party.

"Officer Ma, Wang Bao is not an easy person to deal with. Are you two sure you can take him down in his stronghold? I think you need help."

In the car, Lu Ming drove with great enthusiasm while subtly conversing with Ma Jun.

"Ah Ming, what are you doing?" Chen Jiaju, sensing the implication in Lu Ming's words, said anxiously, "You just passed the probationary inspector exam, you can't do anything foolish." Then, he said to Ma Jun, "I can help you."

"Ka-Kui, as a police officer, how can you give up the opportunity to fight crime just because you're worried about your future?" Lu Ming said indifferently, "I didn't become a police officer for promotion."

"Thank you for your kindness, but this is a matter for the Major Crimes Unit of the Western District Police Station, so we won't trouble you with it."

When Ma Jun saw that the two actually wanted to join him in dealing with Wang Bao, he was surprised but also touched. However, he could not accept their kindness.

As Lu Ming just said, engaging in revenge that disregards police discipline and the law will affect one's career, and in severe cases, could lead to being stripped of one's police uniform.

Ma Jun didn't want to drag Lu Ming and Chen Jiaju down.

"The issue now is not whether you need us or not, but that we cannot stand idly by."

Lu Ming's eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly, "Jiaju and I weren't helping you kill Wang Bao, but rather helping you rescue people. It was all legal and compliant, and no one can find fault with us."

"Save them?"

Ma Jun gave a wry smile. "This kind of fabricated excuse won't fool the Internal Investigation Department."

"I didn't make this up."

Lu Ming glanced at Ma Jun and said meaningfully, "If I'm not mistaken, the guy you were talking to just now has already stormed Wang Bao's lair and started fighting with him."

"He's the one we need to save."
