Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 1197 Philip's Undermining Strategy

With the addition of the Flying Tigers members, Ah Xing can now fight back without restraint.

With his precise marksmanship, he shot one of the bandits in the head.

Seeing his companion get blown off his head, the remaining thug cursed, "Fuck!"

Then he decisively retreated. Two people could at least hold off the enemy, but if he were alone, he would only be throwing his life away.

Keep in mind, they were wearing bulletproof vests, but they still got shot in the head by the other side.

Seeing the group retreat, Ah Xing quickly followed, but did not take the opportunity to attack them, because there was no trace of the bandits on the rooftop anymore, and he did not know where they had fled to.

There are many such pigeon lofts around here, so he has no idea which building the other party has run into. Therefore, he did not attack, but chose to follow and see if he could find the bandits.

"Team B, take note: the perpetrator has escaped. Immediately seal off the nearby buildings, monitor all building exits, spread out, and pinpoint the perpetrator's location."

Just then, a voice came through the headset: "Ah Xing, this is Ma Jun, we have arrived."

This headset was borrowed by Ma Jun from a member of the Flying Tigers. As for whether the other party would lend it to him or not, that was not up to them. Did they really think that Superintendent Ma was just a freeloader?

Upon hearing Ma Jun's voice, Ah Xing excitedly shouted, "Brother Jun, you're here! Perfect timing! The bandits have retreated from the rooftop. Take your men and seal off all the entrances and exits on the surrounding rooftops. That way, they definitely won't be able to escape. I'm currently pursuing them from the rooftop."

"Okay, be careful yourself, I'll take care of things downstairs!" Ma Jun readily agreed.

After learning the Flying Tigers' channel, they returned the headset to the other side and had their team members tune their walkie-talkies to that channel.

"Ah Yi, you take the lead to seal off those buildings, and I'll take the lead to seal off these buildings. Be careful not to hurt the hostages; they are very important. But the premise is that the bandits can't escape. Be flexible in critical situations."

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, Peng Yixing understood Ma Jun's meaning: it meant that a strong attack could be launched at a critical moment, and the safety of the hostages could be secondary.

No matter what, the hostages must not fall into the hands of the criminals.

Both the criminals and the police share this view.

Because no matter which side it falls into, it will have a huge impact on the situation.

A situation that could turn the tide.

Meanwhile, Philip's butler also received the news. Upon learning that they had been found by the police and were on the run, the butler knocked on the study door with a grim expression.

"Sir, something's happened!"

Philip frowned as he opened the study door. He was wearing pajamas and planned to read a book before bed, a habit he had maintained for decades. Without this perseverance, he would not have become the Chief Secretary for Administration of Hong Kong Island, nor would he have been a strong candidate for the next Governor of Hong Kong Island.

It's worth noting that he used to be a ruthless figure who suppressed Fan Weili to the point of having no competitive ambitions. Even the Secretary for Justice, Lai Wing-lim, was not confident in his ability to compete. That's why he needed to unite many members, intervene in the police force, and form his own small group to fight against them.

If he were alone, he would absolutely be no match for Philip.

This is the absolute star of Hong Kong's political circles.

The butler lowered his head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to bother you so late, sir. There's been a problem with Xu Huaijing's family. They're being pursued by the police, who have already located their trail. Because the matter is serious, I had to come and bother you!"

As he spoke, the butler bowed down to express his apology.

Philip frowned and remained silent for several minutes, during which time the butler kept bowing and apologizing.

After a long pause, he said, "Right now, all the police's attention is focused on Xu Huaijing's family. Contact someone to go to the police station to deal with Xu Huaijing himself, and try to make it look like he committed suicide out of fear of punishment."

At this point, Philip's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "I don't want to see any more accidents, understand?"

"Understood!" the butler said respectfully, bowing.

"boom!"

Philip closed the door, sat down in the study chair, and closed his eyes to rest. He had thought of many ways to deal with the situation, but none of them were safe. In the end, he had no choice but to silence Xu Huaijing.

No matter how much the other party knew, once they are dead, the matter is over, and the police will have no chance of finding any more evidence.

Once he reaches his position, as long as there is no substantial evidence, he is absolutely safe.

It can be said that Xu Huaijing's life or death is now related to whether he can successfully take over the position of governor.

Given his current status and power, even if Xu Huaijing exposes him, it won't bring him down; at most, it will only hinder his further advancement.

It may seem unimportant, but it is actually extremely important, because it is uncertain whether there will still be a governor after 97. Therefore, this is the last battle for the governorship, and its intensity is many times greater than imagined.

Only by seizing a dominant position before the handover can one continue to rule Hong Kong Island after the handover.

The future is full of surprises, so securing the position of governor-general is absolutely the right thing to do. He doesn't believe that the mainland will immediately sacrifice the important figure in the position of governor-general, but the position of chief secretary is a different story.

So this is a huge gamble for the family. If they win, everything will be fine; if they lose...

The butler at the door slowly straightened up, feeling like his back was no longer his own; the soreness was excruciating. But he still insisted on leaving the study. After walking for a while, he took out his phone and began contacting the assassin.

Philip's family had long ago hired an international assassin to work for them on Hong Kong Island.

This international assassin's nickname is—Scorpion!

After a brief conversation, the butler and Scorpion went back to their rooms, both supporting their aches and pains.

Meanwhile, Scorpion also began to move, donning a disguised police uniform and heading towards the police station.

Philip was right; the police department was indeed very weak at the moment. Most of the officers had been sent out, and only Liu Jianming and his Criminal Intelligence Division remained to guard Xu Huaijing.

Although he didn't think any assassins would cause trouble at the police station at this time, Lau Kin-ming still made very careful arrangements for guards, not only in the detention cells but also in the corridors, just in case.

Scorpion, dressed in a police uniform, found a blind spot in the surveillance system, scaled the wall, and entered the police station. He had already obtained the blueprints for the police station building and was very familiar with its various structures. Philip had prepared a final line of defense.

All for this day—to kill and silence them!
