In the past, anti-corruption incidents rarely resulted in fatalities, but it is not uncommon for cases like Fund Z to involve huge amounts of money.

Therefore, whether it is for his own safety or to be able to investigate this kind of case more smoothly, Lu Zhilian urgently needs the help of the Hong Kong Island Police Force.

In other words, he needs a more violent and legal team than the ICAC to help deal with a more vicious enemy.

The more violent and legal contingent than the ICAC is naturally the police force in the whole Hong Kong Island.

Normally, it is normal for the ICAC to seek help from the police when it encounters a difficult bone to gnaw.

However, Luk has just met such a black police officer as Wong Man-bin, and coupled with the ICAC's understanding of the police force, it is sometimes not easy to find a relatively reassuring partner.

This time, Zhou Xingxing and Liu Baoqiang's unexpected arrival made Lu Zhilian tempted.

Although the two of them said that they regretted it after learning their identities.

But judging from the courage of the two of them, who dared to break in in the face of more than a dozen gunmen, they were obviously a qualified police officer.

So Lu Zhilian also really wants to cooperate with the two.

"Hey, you guys go out to investigate the mission, do you have an extra subsidy?"

Zhou Xingxing walked in the narrow and dim passage, and he was originally not interested in Lu Zhilian's proposal.

After all, he still has the case handed over to him by Zhang Pin to handle, and whether that case can be solved or not, he naturally has no time to deal with other cases.

However, after hearing Luk Chi-lian say that the Independent Commission Against Corruption's case-handling funds are much more abundant than those of the police force, he was immediately moved.

The reason why this is so is naturally because Zhou Xingxing personally participated in a very well-funded mission before.

It was precisely because of his participation in that mission that Zhou Xingxing, an unlucky bastard, actually earned the money to buy a house on Hong Kong Island.

Although it was only a down payment, it was originally an astronomical amount for Zhou Xingxing.

For countless nights, he fantasized that he would encounter a well-funded case again, but every time he woke up, he was disappointed.

This time, Lu Zhilian proposed cooperation, which made Zhou Xingxing see hope again.

"You said business trip allowance, this is not impossible to apply, as long as you can help, not to mention anything else, just say that this time, I can at least help each of you apply for more than 10,000 yuan in labor fees."

When Lu Zhilian heard Zhou Xingxing and himself mention money, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It is important to know that the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) itself is a department engaged in anti-corruption work.

So they know a lot more about corruption than the average organization.

The first step of many people's corruption is naturally because of lack of money, so the Hong Kong Island team has always advocated high salaries and honesty.

As the anti-corruption department, the salary level of the Independent Commission Against Corruption is naturally not much lower.

At the same time, it is not only to prevent the ICAC investigators from being corrupted, but also to ensure that the investigation is smooth, so the ICAC has never been stingy in handling cases.

Even in order to make it easier for investigators to penetrate the corruption, it is also frightening to be generous with all kinds of informants.

For people like Zhou Xingxing who want labor fees, Lu Zhilian is the favorite.

"That's what you said, I didn't take the initiative to ask you for money, we police officers are duty-bound to help the public, and we shouldn't have asked you for benefits.

But since you sincerely want to give us hard money, then for the sake of the police and the family, I can't destroy the close friendship between the two sides, hey, I will reluctantly accept this 10,000 yuan. ”

When Zhou Xingxing heard that there was money to collect, a momentum immediately rose in his body.

"Why don't you let me go to the front, I suspect there might be danger outside, because it's too quiet in the back."

He immediately took the initiative to speak out, wanting to go ahead, and also reminded everyone to pay attention to the situation.

"Something is wrong, the gunmen don't seem to be coming through the passage, could it be that they are still outside the house and don't know that we have left?"

Director An on the side was skeptical of Zhou Xingxing's words.

He mainly did not believe that the enemy would know so much about the safe house of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

"Be careful, I'll give it a try."

Lu Zhilian was not as relieved as Director An.

He himself was very puzzled by the appearance of the enemy outside the safe house tonight, after all, the purpose of the ICAC's safe house was to conceal it.

Not to mention, for the sake of safety, he was transferred to the safe house here in Yuen Long this afternoon.

As a result, he did not expect that he shifted the safe house with his front foot, and the enemy arrived with his back foot.

Such a swift move inevitably made Lu Zhilian wonder if there was an insider who leaked the news.

And if it's really the inner ghost who leaked the news, since the other party was able to leak the news of the safe house, it would not be surprising that the news in the leaked channel was not surprised.

So Lu Zhilian stood not far from the exit and was not in a hurry to get out.

He first checked his weapon, filling the magazine with bullets.

Then take off your blazer and crumple it straight into a ball.

He then looked at the men behind him, motioning for them to get ready, and finally quietly pushed open the hidden exit.

At the same time as the exit of Daotong was pushed open, he said: "Hurry up, hurry up, come out quickly." ”

After making sure that the sound could be transmitted to the outside, he waited for another two or three seconds, and then threw the crumpled suit on his hand.

Bang bang –

Just as the suit flew out, at the originally silent exit, there was a sudden dense gunshot, and the suit flying in the air was broken into strips of rags in an instant.

"There really is an ambush!"

Director An looked incredulous.

"Sure enough, there is an inner ghost!"

Lu Zhilian breathed a sigh of relief.

He is not afraid of internal ghosts, because as long as the internal ghosts are carefully investigated, they can be found out, and as long as the internal ghosts are on guard and do not disclose their news, the other party can only stare dryly.

On the contrary, if it is not an internal ghost, but the other party can find the safe house of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and can also know the safe passage of the safe house, then the other party's energy is terrifyingly strong.

"Ready, they're running out of bullets!"

Unlike the two of them in the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Zhou Xingxing was eager to try it after learning that there was an ambush outside.

Originally, he felt that it was no good to save the people of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, not to mention that he would still encounter danger, so if he tried hard, it was naturally not cost-effective.

But now Lu Zhilian wants to cooperate with them in the case, share evidence, and send them money.

Zhou Xingxing suddenly had the motivation to work hard.

And the cooperation of the Independent Commission Against Corruption is not a one-shot deal, Zhou Xingxing has made a decision in order to repay the mortgage, he must perform well this time, and strive for a long-term cooperation with Lu Zhilian.

After all, he knows his own situation, and he is very unlucky on weekdays.

Although the salary of the police force is good, his usual expenses are not small, and now there is a legal revenue channel, how can Zhou Xingxing be willing to give up.

"Damn, I'm really desperate!"

Liu Baoqiang's thoughts on Zhou Xingxing are unknown.

But he wants to be motivated, and this time it is naturally impossible to let things go, and even if he wants to back down, it is estimated that the gunmen outside will not agree.

So although he didn't think as much as Zhou Xingxing, he was also ready to work hard.

"Damn, 10,000 yuan is not enough, if everyone doesn't die this time, you guys must cover our expenses for a month!"

Liu Baoqiang gritted his teeth, and at the moment of rushing out, he didn't forget to bargain with Lu Zhilian.

Bang bang –

Zhou Xingxing and Liu Baoqiang were both good at each other, and when they heard the gunfire outside stopping, they immediately rushed out at the same time.

"Ahhh

The safe passage of the ICAC's safe house is directly connected to a road.

This time, the gunmen thought that they would be able to wipe out all the people of the Independent Commission Against Corruption with an ambush, so they couldn't help but be careless in their positions.

They didn't expect that there would be other intrusions in this operation.

As a result, Zhou Xingxing and Liu Baoqiang seized the opportunity to kill at this time, and the gunmen standing on the road were instantly killed and turned over on their backs.

Bang bang –

With the two role models of Zhou Xingxing and Liu Baoqiang, Lu Zhilian and Director An also followed.

The four of them beat the gunmen to the ground for a while.

Taking advantage of the opportunity on his side, Zhou Xingxing put away the pistol with empty magazines, and then rushed into the crowd and chose hand-to-hand combat.

"Leave a few live mouths as witnesses!"

He flew a gunman directly with a deadly scissor clip, and then didn't forget to alert the others.

Hearing Zhou Xingxing's words, Lu Zhilian and Director An were still indifferent, the two just shifted the muzzle of the gun, and then stood in place and continued to shoot at the other gunmen who were either fleeing or dodging.

The work of the ICAC is different from that of the police force, and they do not need gunmen as witnesses.

But Liu Baoqiang was different, after he heard Zhou Xingxing's shouting, although he was a little worried in his heart, he still rushed forward without hesitation and chose to fight with hand-to-hand.

Fortunately, because the two consecutive ambushes were unsuccessful, not to mention, more than half of the men died, and the remaining gunmen had already been frightened.

Originally, in the face of the shooting of four people, some gunmen did not forget to turn around and shoot when they fled, trying to stop the pursuit of several people in order to survive.

However, when they heard Zhou Xingxing shouting to catch the live mouth, these people ran away quickly one by one, and naturally no one was stupid enough to turn around and shoot coldly.

I have to say that Zhou Xingxing's voice also hit by mistake, which directly relieved the resistance of several gunmen.

"That's it!"

As a result, after Zhou Xingxing controlled the two gunmen, the scene suddenly calmed down.

"Which of you is the leader? What is the purpose of being here! ”

After making sure that the scene was under control, Lu Zhilian took the initiative to stand up again and asked about the behind-the-scenes commanders behind several gunmen.

"Phew, you don't want to know the news of our boss from me, and I won't tell you that I contacted him by text."

The gunman who was questioned by Lu Zhilian said very hardly, but in fact he was very interesting.

"Very good, count you as a kid."

Lu Zhilian heard the other party's words, nodded, put down the pistol aimed at the other party's head, and then took out a mobile phone from him that was specially used for communication.

"Mission accomplished!"

Obviously, all the gunmen have been killed, but Lu Zhilian still pretended to be the gunman and sent a short message back to the behind-the-scenes commander who contacted them.

"You two, don't mind if we go to your police station for two days!"

After learning that there were enemy ghosts in the ICAC, Lu Zhilian did not plan to continue to be a member of the ICAC in the past few days, but was ready to hide, wanting to wait for the official filing of the case before showing up with the witnesses.

"Oh no, let's go, there's almost no time to find a stupid mark."

But for Lu Zhilian's request, Zhou Xingxing was about to talk to the other party about the conditions, but Liu Baoqiang on the side slapped his thigh anxiously, and then pulled Zhou Xingxing and prepared to escape.

"I'm sorry, we still have urgent matters, if there is anything, let's talk about it when we come back after we finish our work."

Zhou Xingxing heard Liu Baoqiang mention the stupid mark, and immediately came back to his senses, compared to cooperating with the Independent Commission Against Corruption, it was obvious that the task assigned to him by Zhang Pin was more important.

"Wait, what kind of case do you want to handle, why don't we work together, there are many people to do things."

Lu Zhilian saw that Zhou Xingxing and Liu Baoqiang were leaving, and he had just left the danger, so he naturally didn't want the two bodyguards to leave, so he took the initiative to continue to cooperate with the two.

"You want to work with us. It seems like it's really okay, but it's too late to say more, we have to find the stupid mark before ten o'clock! ”

When Zhou Xingxing heard that Lu Zhilian wanted to cooperate, he immediately thought of the other party's abundant funds.

So he agreed without too much hesitation, but seeing that the time was almost too late, he didn't say anything.

"Are you going to just run to solve the case, I have a car here!"

Lu Zhilian was immediately relieved when he heard that the two agreed to handle the case together, after all, the safety of him and An Ying was guaranteed.

Then he took the initiative to call out to the two people who were running around like headless flies, and it happened that Director An, who had left before, drove over in a car.

Since the Independent Commission Against Corruption has set up a safe passage here, it has naturally prepared a means of transportation for this purpose.

"Let's talk about this case, there shouldn't be anything confidential involved, right?"

After getting in the car, Lu Zhilian looked at An Ying, who was not speaking beside him, for a second, and then chatted with Zhou Xingxing in front of the other party.

Originally, according to the rules of the ICAC or the police force, it stands to reason that you should not talk about the case in front of outsiders.

But now the situation is different, and An Ying is very important to the case of Z Fund, Lu Zhilian didn't dare to risk letting the other party out of his sight, so he could only choose to violate the rules a little.

That's why he emphasized confidentiality when he was questioned.

In fact, he deliberately reminded Zhou Xingxing.

"Speaking of this case, it is actually very appropriate for your Independent Commission Against Corruption to investigate, just two days ago, we received a report that a Jockey Club trader was shot dead, which may involve outside gambling."

The reason why Zhou Xingxing agreed to Lu Zhilian's cooperation is really not nonsense.
