Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 1230 Using Oneself as Bait

When Lan Bowen heard Ah Hu's words, even though he had been in the underworld for so many years, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

That's absolutely insane!

Shao Zhilang heard it too, and he immediately shouted, "Okay, let's join forces and rush out together."

After saying that, he led his men from the side towards the cover where Ah Hu and the others were.

This action was extremely dangerous. If Ah Hu and the others tried to harm them, they would be doomed, since they had no cover while running.

Seeing this, Lambowman also whispered, "Come on, follow me!"

He led his men to follow, understanding that this was an opportunity to easily wipe out Ah Hu and the other mercenaries. Otherwise, given the mercenaries' powerful firepower and skills, even if they were eventually eliminated, it would come at a great cost.

When Ah Hu saw Shao Zhilang and Lan Bowen leading their men up, he not only didn't feel anything was wrong, but he actually breathed a sigh of relief. The main reason was that they were currently in a situation of being surrounded from both inside and outside. If the people on both sides started to attack them, not only would the mission be difficult to complete, but his own life would also be in danger.

They are mercenaries, not suicide squads; they wouldn't risk their lives for a mission.

Upon seeing the commotion inside, Qiu Gang'ao and the others outside also shifted their guns away, no longer aiming at Lan Bowen and his group.

Ah Hu was a seasoned veteran, and he noticed this. What was going on? Why had the police outside reduced their firepower?

Suddenly, an idea flashed through my mind.

No, it’s a scam!

But before he could speak, gunshots rang out behind him. The next second, he felt as if his body had been bitten by something, followed by a feeling of powerlessness. He couldn't even turn around and could only fall down with his eyes wide open.

It was Shao Zhilang who fired the shot. He rushed behind Ah Hu and the others, decisively raised his gun and began firing, aiming at Ah Hu, the leader of the mercenaries.

To ensure he could kill his target, he fired several shots in succession.

When his henchmen saw that their boss had fired, they also opened fire, launching a back attack on the mercenary.

Under the combined attack of Qiu Gang'ao and Lan Bowen's forces, the mercenary group was quickly wiped out.

Lan Bowen put away his gun and stepped forward to greet everyone: "Thank you all for your help. I will tell Brother Liu about this. Thank you all."

After he finished speaking, he left with his men. Qiu Gang'ao understood and did not chase after them, as he could not reveal his identity at this time.

Although the support operation has been almost exposed, the news will not get out as long as the people on the ground don't say anything.

After getting into the car, Lan Bowen immediately instructed, "Take the injured brothers directly to the hospital. Don't worry, I'll handle the police. Ah Ying, take the injured brothers to get treatment."

Ah Ying habitually agreed and immediately set aside two cars to take the injured brothers to the hospital for treatment.

Lan Bowen then took out his phone and dialed Mr. Dong's number.

After ringing a few times, the call was answered.

“Mr. Dong, this is A-Lan. We were just ambushed by assassins, and many of our brothers were injured. This may be due to some unknown force targeting us. Please be careful, Mr. Dong.”

Mr. Dong smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I'm fine here. By the way, are you alright over there? Do you need me to send someone to help you?"

Lambowen's pupils contracted slightly, and he said with feigned delight, "Is that alright? Then thank you very much, Mr. Dong. Many of my brothers are either dead or wounded, and we really don't have many men left. In this short period of time, I have been attacked by two waves of assassins, and I almost lost my life."

Hearing Lan Bowen's words, which seemed to be taking advantage of the situation, Mr. Dong was slightly taken aback, and then said, "No problem, wait a moment, my people will contact you later."

He wasn't sure if Rambo knew he had bribed mercenaries to attack him, but that didn't matter. What mattered was that Rambo was still alive, and that was important.

Regardless of whether Lambowman knew about the mercenaries, he had to die, otherwise Mr. Dong would never sleep peacefully again.

After hanging up the phone, Shao Zhilang frowned and said, "You're using yourself as bait. Are you sure you want to do this? This time, they will definitely do everything in their power to kill you."

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained!" Lan Bowen looked out the car window at the scenery. "We've come this far. I don't want all our efforts to be in vain. Only if we capture Mr. Dong can you atone for your sins. Only with such a significant contribution can you reduce your sentence."

"Besides, I've been undercover for so many years, and at this point, I don't want to just slink back to the police force like this. Otherwise, wouldn't all my efforts over the years have been in vain!"

Shao Zhilang let out a long sigh of relief: "Alright, let's catch Mr. Dong together."

With a shared goal in mind, the two immediately began to discuss countermeasures. They ultimately decided that Lan Bowen would lead his men to meet with the people sent by Mr. Dong, while Shao Zhilang would lead his men to hide in the shadows and wait for an opportunity to strike.

To ensure everything went smoothly, Lan Bowen reported the matter to Liu Jianming, who then assigned Qiu Gang'ao's team as the third batch of personnel, leaving the decision of when to act to Lan Bowen, demonstrating his great trust in him.

Getting Qiu Gang'ao and his team to follow the orders of that undercover police officer required an immense level of trust.

Furthermore, Liu Jianming needed to appease Qiu Gang'ao and the others, as he was worried they might overthink things. After all, Qiu Gang'ao had already been promoted to superintendent based on his various achievements.

With his intelligence, becoming a police superintendent was not his final goal, but rather a transition.

Liu Jianming was worried that Qiu Gang'ao might overthink things, so he made a special call to reassure him. However, Qiu Gang'ao smiled and said after listening, "Liu Sir, don't worry, we won't mind. We're all on the same side, so there's no need to care so much."

Liu Jianming paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yeah, A'ao, after this case is finished, I'll treat you to dinner, the whole team will be on the table."

When Lan Bowen received Liu Jianming's message, he felt relieved. Qiu Gang'ao and his team's strength had been clearly demonstrated in their previous firefight with the mercenaries, making them one of the police force's most elite squads.

On the other hand, Mr. Dong sent his own bodyguards to lead a team, demanding that Lan Bowen and Shao Zhilang be killed. They had done too much for Demao Company and knew a lot of things.

The only way to keep these secrets is to turn them into dead people, since only the dead can keep secrets.

Meanwhile, Mr. Dong's most trusted bodyguard—a former U.S. Marine—was assembling an elite squad.

His instructions were simple and clear: silence Lan Bowen and Shao Zhilang, who knew too many secrets, forever.
