Chapter 77: Rolling with Lan Keying (Subscribe)
In the court four years ago, there were three people who could help Qiu Gangao and the other four to reduce their sentences or even get them acquitted.

The first one is [Commander] Situ Jie.

As long as Situ Jie confessed truthfully, he would know that Qiu Gangao and his group of five were under his orders that night to obtain the authority to enforce the law beyond the boundaries in order to rescue the hostages.

Then in the end, it should be Situ Jie who should be held responsible and his future will be damaged. The Qiu Gangao and his group used excessive law enforcement and caused an accident. At most, they will be dismissed and can avoid imprisonment.

However, Situ Jie emphasized in court that his order was just a normal request from a superior to urge progress.

This is a normal instruction from the superior during case investigation. As for the subordinates handling the case, they must still strictly follow the law and regulations, and cannot use the commander's urging as a golden ticket to get away with it.

It is obvious that Situ Jie's sophistry in court cleared himself of the charges and he continued to be promoted over the past four years.

Qiu Gangao and the other four became "spontaneous cross-border dads to handle cases" and were responsible for the consequences themselves.

The second witness was the wealthy businessman Huo Jingliang who was rescued.

As long as he emphasizes that he was kidnapped and in a dangerous situation on the brink of life and death, it can also increase the rationality of Qiu Gangao and his five-member team breaking through the boundaries to save people.

However, Huo Jingliang used the court as a show, describing the kidnapping as nonchalant, as if paying the ransom would naturally save the person.

In court, Huo Jingliang, from the perspective of a kidnapped victim, emphasized that there was absolutely no need to cross the line or kill for him. This statement was accepted by the judge and jury.

Finally, there is [Eyewitness] Zhang Chongbang. The Hong Kong judicial system is very mysterious.

Even if the public believes that a criminal has committed murder, there are still two ways to reduce his sentence or get away with it.

The first method is to prove the rationality and urgency of the action. Under this background, even if someone is killed, the sentence can be light.

Situ Jie and Huo Jingliang could have made some efforts in this regard, but it ended up having the opposite effect.

There is a second way, which is [the witness loses his memory or lies]. In this way, even if everyone knows that the criminal has killed someone, the witness changes his testimony or loses his memory in court, and the criminal can be acquitted through judicial procedures.

Qiu Gangao and the other four hope that Zhang Chongbang, out of consideration for their long-standing friendship, will "break the principle once" for his brothers, choosing between their future and a criminal who deserves death.

But it is obvious that the final result was that Zhang Chongbang testified in court as a witness to the murder, and the Qiu Gangao and his five companions were eventually sent to jail.

Because Qiu Gangao and his team of police officers had arrested countless drug lords, big and small, before going to prison.

As a result, they were imprisoned for four years, and were beaten and tortured by different prisoners every day.

The five-member group believed that they were acting on orders, but failed to save someone, and were eventually pushed into the abyss by their boss, the rich man, and their long-time good brothers.

So during the four years of torture, the five people thought every day about how to take revenge on the three people after they were released from prison.

Originally, Qiu Gangao and others revealed the information about the noodle trade in Tsuen Wan Seaview Plaza. After killing Wang Kun, they were planning to ambush and kill Zhang Chongbang.

However, Zhang Chongbang did not show up at the scene that night, and the "mysterious man with the Goku mask" designed a revenge plan for them that was more heartbreaking than murder.

Today, Qiu Gangao and his four companions tied a bomb to Situ Jie. Their first demand was that he tell the truth of four years ago in front of reporters from two TV stations and admit that he had made false statements in court.

Under the threat of a bomb exploding at any time, Situ Jie could only tell the truth about how he used his future to force his subordinates to use ruthless force to cross the line of law enforcement four years ago.

In addition to ruining Situ Jie's reputation, another purpose of this truth was to let Zhang Chongbang know the truth.

Zhang Chong realized that his choice four years ago, which he thought was "noble and principled," actually made him the executioner of the top leaders who passed the buck.

Let Zhang Chongbang realize that the principles he adheres to are worthless.

In the dance studio, Situ Jie recounted in detail the kidnapping case a few years ago and the operations of the senior management behind it, which made the deputy police chief who was setting up the on-site command center in the next building embarrassed.

Based on the photos taken indoors by Zhang Chongbang today and the footage from the TV station's camera, the police bomb disposal expert analyzed the bomb tied to Situ Jie.

Bomb disposal experts judged that the power of these bombs was enough to blow up the dance studio, killing or injuring dozens of people and children learning to dance inside.

As Situ Jie stated all the facts, the countdown for the bomb on his back was almost over.

Zhang Chongbang shouted into the intercom, "Aao, we know the truth from four years ago. Before anyone gets killed, let's end this quickly and seek justice through the law!"

Qiu Gangao's somewhat frantic voice came from the intercom: "Law, we brothers believed in it four years ago, and this is what we ended up like today."

"Today, we brothers only believe in bombs, salt, and the humanity beneath the bombs."

"The bomb strapped to Situ Jie is tied to Situ Jie's heart rate."

"The only way to stop the bomb countdown is to kill Situ Jie and stop his heart."

"Zhang Chongbang, don't you want to be a hero of principle? Now you have to choose between Situ Jie's life and the lives of dozens of people at the scene, including your wife!"

Hearing what Qiu Gangao said on the intercom, Situ Jie vigilantly raised his gun and aimed at Zhang Chongbang.

He roared, "Qiu Gangao, I was there long before you threatened Chongbang's wife. I told him and the reporters the truth about what happened four years ago."

"You said you'd let me go if I obeyed you, but now the only way to undo the egg explosion is through my death. What's going on? I'm going to perish with you bunch of losers!"

Through the mobile phone on Zhang Chongbang's body, the deputy police chief who was in charge of the scene heard the information that the bomb was linked to Situ Jie's heart rate.

Before arriving at the scene, the top police officer had already given the authorization to shoot to kill.

In addition, Szeto Kit revealed that senior police officers were secretly serving wealthy businessmen and paying close attention to their stocks. This explosive news has been made known to the people of Hong Kong through two TV stations.

The deputy police chief steeled himself and ordered, "Prepare for a violent attack to rescue the hostages. The first step is to cut off the live broadcast signal from the television station."

"The second step is for the Flying Tigers to break in and, in accordance with the principle that public safety takes precedence over personal interests, they are authorized to kill Situ Jie."

"At the same time, order the sniper to find an opportunity to kill Situ Jie after the hostage at the window changes his position."

After receiving the order from the deputy police chief, the Flying Tigers, who had been on standby at the door of the dance studio, immediately blew up the door and rushed in in a formation.

The pistol in Situ Jie's hand was obviously not enough to deal with the entry of more than a dozen Flying Tigers.

At this time, Qiu Gangao's voice came from the intercom: "Zhang Chongbang, I want you to choose. You kill people, not the Flying Tigers do it for you."

"No matter what method you use, drive the Flying Tigers out of the dance studio, or I will detonate the bomb remotely and send your wife and the hostages to hell together."

Zhang Chongbang had sensed Qiu Gangao's madness. He immediately drew his gun and pointed it at the incoming Flying Tigers, ordering, "Retreat immediately. I have the highest authority on the scene. Retreat under my command!"

But it was obvious that the order to kill Situ Jie in the Flying Tigers' headphones had not changed.

As for the pistol that Zhang Chongbang threatened, the Flying Tigers didn't take it seriously at all. They believed that Zhang Chongbang had no right to actually shoot.

However, as one of the three green lights on the bomb on Situ Jie's chest turned red, Zhang Chongbang knew that Qiu Gangao was going to detonate it remotely.

In order to save the lives of his wife and the hostages, Zhang Chongbang immediately fired several shots. After a few gunshots, the two front row members of the Flying Tigers fell to the ground.

However, Zhang Chongbang was most familiar with the Flying Tigers' uniforms, so he shot at places that were tightly protected by bulletproof vests.

The two men fell to the ground simply because they were stunned by the sudden attack and knocked down by the impact of the bullets.

Seeing Zhang Chongbang suddenly shooting at the Flying Tigers, and the on-site commander did not have a kill order against Zhang Chongbang, the Flying Tigers could only be forced to leave the dance studio under Zhang Chongbang's desperate toughness.

After the Flying Tigers withdrew, Zhang Chongbang came to Situ Jie and prepared to dismantle the bomb.

Knowing that Qiu Gangao was using him as a human bomb and would never let him go, Situ Jie immediately placed all his chances of survival on Zhang Chongbang.

Zhang Chongbang ordered Situ Jie to allow the children around him to hide with their parents.

At the same time, he asked his wife to hide there and he would take her place.

If Zhang Chongbang came to defuse the bomb, the two of them would live and die together, and there would be no need to continue threatening him with his wife.

Therefore, after Zhang Chongbang started to dismantle the bomb, Lan Keying took the children who were practicing dancing and retreated to the side of their parents.

Because Lan Keying and Qiu Ti were good sisters who could talk about anything, she instinctively retreated to Qiu Ti and Liu Jianming.

Although Zhang Chongbang has a very serious attitude and a serious face, he still has strong business capabilities.

For several minutes, no matter how the deputy police chief ordered on his phone to shoot Situ Jie in exchange for everyone's safety, he ignored it.

Saving Situ Jie's life is not important, but in Zhang Chongbang's heart, what he holds on to in his heart is his obsession to defeat Qiu Gangao and his gang, which is more important.

Lan Keying was very worried about Zhang Chongbang's safety. After sending all the children to their parents, her emotions quickly overcame her instinct to escape, and she walked towards Zhang Chongbang and Situ Jie.

Qiu Ti tried to stop and pull Lan Keying, but her strength was not enough.

Qiuti said anxiously, "I can't care less. Thor, please help me hold Sister Keying back."

Liu Jianming stepped forward, pulled Qiu Ti far behind him, and then said to Lan Keying, "Sister Keying, I understand your feelings. We can get closer, but we must stay at a safe distance as I determine."

Liu Jianming took Qiu Ti's hand and now he was the one holding Lan Keying.

Lan Keying knew that she could not pull Liu Jianming away with her own strength, so she could only nod and compromise.

So Zhang Chongbang and Situ Jie were in the same area, and Lan Keying and Liu Jianming came near them.

Under Liu Jianming's command, Qiu Ti protected the children who were not accompanied by their parents and asked them to stay as quiet as possible.

A few minutes later, with a click, the bomb on Situ Jie's chest loosened a coil.

At the same time, the red and green indicator lights on the bomb went out and the countdown stopped.

At this time, Situ Jie was still alive and well, proving that Zhang Chongbang had successfully untied the bond between the bomb and Situ Jie's heartbeat.

Zhang Chongbang breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to see his wife Lan Keying standing so close to him.

Zhang Chongbang went from being terrified to feeling safe and relaxed, so he didn't notice that when he turned around to hug his wife, the red light on the bomb on Situ Jie's body came on again.

Liu Jianming was the person who reacted the fastest on the field.

Because when he and Qiu Gangao originally designed the plan, they took into account the possibility that Zhang Chongbang could dismantle the bomb and bind it to his heartbeat.

Once this happens, Qiu Gangao will directly detonate the bomb remotely.

Amidst the unexpected shouts of Lan Keying and Zhang Chongbang, Liu Jianming suddenly kicked Zhang Chongbang in the side of the waist with a whip kick.

Zhang Chongbang was completely unprepared and was kicked and flew sideways, a little further away from Situ Jie.

At this time, the bomb on Situ Jie exploded and his body was torn into pieces.

While Liu Jianming kicked Zhang Chongbang away, he also grabbed Lan Keying. The two rolled on the ground to avoid the shock wave of Situ Jie's bomb.

It was not until her waist was hugged and a huge shock wave from the explosion pushed over that Lan Keying came back to her senses from the shock of her husband being kicked away.

As she and Liu Jianming rolled around in circles under the shock wave, Lan Keying also realized that the boyfriend that Qiu Ti had introduced earlier had saved both her and her lives today.

After the shockwave from Situ Jie's bomb subsided, the dance studio was filled with the cries of children and the panicked shouts of parents.

In fact, Liu Jianming was cautious when he arranged for parents to take their children to hide in advance.

The place where these people were hiding was just covered by the supporting columns of the building. The children were just frightened and cried, and the children and parents only suffered scratches from falling and dodging.

On the contrary, Liu Jianming, Lan Keying, and Zhang Chongbang suffered some minor injuries because they were closer to the bomb.

Lan Keying clearly felt that Liu Jianming protected her head against his chest, and in order to prevent her from getting hurt on the back of her head while rolling, he used his arms to block some of the debris blown up by the shock wave.

Lan Keying's big eyes seemed to be made of water and were soon filled with tears.

She sat up and carefully looked at Liu Jianming's body and asked, "Are you injured anywhere?"

Lan Keying breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no bloodstain except for the scratches on Liu Jianming's arms and back.

At this moment, Zhang Chongbang's anxious and slightly weak voice came: "Keying, are you hurt?"

Zhang Chongbang's shout suddenly woke up Lan Keying, who was still concerned about Liu Jianming's injury a moment ago.

Perhaps it was the rolling of the two of them in the bandage shock wave just now, the tension of being on the verge of life and death, and the wonderful feeling of hearing the intertwined heartbeats of the two at the same time, that made Lan Keying's eyes only have Liu Jianming for a moment.

Hearing Zhang Chongbang's cry, Lan Keying immediately ran to Zhang Chongbang with some shame and asked about his injuries.

Zhang Chongbang's injuries did not cause any serious bones, but his thighs and abdomen were scratched by shrapnel. He probably had to be hospitalized for recuperation.

Next, the Flying Tigers entered the dance studio, and all the children and parents, including Liu Jianming, Qiu Ti and Lan Keying, regardless of whether they were injured or not, went to the nearest hospital for physical examinations, and the police recorded detailed statements in batches at the hospital.

Even though the police blocked the news, there were TV reporters at the scene, so the news that Assistant Commissioner of Police Szeto Kit was dead and Senior Inspector Cheung Chong-pong of the Narcotics Bureau was injured and hospitalized spread throughout Hong Kong Island.

Since being released from prison, Qiu Gangao and his four-member group have finally felt the joy of successfully taking revenge in the first phase, and have strengthened their determination to continue working with Liu Jianming.

At the same time, when the three Tony brothers saw that the Assistant Director was blown to pieces by Liu Jianming, their doubts about him were completely dispelled, and they even admired him a little!

 The big event is coming, and I won’t take the annual leave. I am asking for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets and subscriptions!
