As she spoke, she subtly pulled Charles back a step, and placed her other hand on her waist again.

He was also worried that Jiang Lai might suddenly turn on him and take Charles hostage again.

However, Jiang Lai did not make any move, but just stared coldly at him and Charles, as if they were two dead men.

"Yes, sir!!" Upon hearing Zhang Fuxi's order, the two officers immediately responded and drew their pistols, cautiously aiming at Jiang Lai.

One of them pulled out handcuffs and was about to step forward.

"Wait!" Chen Guozhong immediately stepped forward, blocking the police officer's path and stopping his actions.

"Inspector Chan?" The officer looked at Chan Kwok-chung with a questioning look in his eyes, hesitating for a moment.

"You two go out first!!" Chen Guozhong gave him a look, then gestured for the two of them to leave first.

"This..." The police officer stood there awkwardly, glancing at Chen Guozhong, then at Zhang Fuxi and Charles, his eyes questioning.

"What are you all standing there for? Is he the chief or am I the chief?" Zhang Fu shouted angrily when he saw the two officers hesitate.

"Chen Guozhong, get out of my way." Then she yelled at Chen Guozhong as well.

Chen Guozhong paused slightly, looking at Zhang Fuxi with a complicated expression: "Zhang sir..."

He hesitated for a moment, then paused to consider his words, just as he was about to continue, when he was interrupted by Zhang Fuxi's loud shout.

"I told you to get out of the way!!!"

Zhang Fuxi's eyes were bloodshot; he was now blinded by rage and no longer considered the consequences of arresting Jiang Lai.

Chen Guozhong looked embarrassed and stood frozen in place.

However, Jiang Lai remained calm in the face of all this, simply watching coldly.

Just as the atmosphere reached a stalemate, another police officer ran breathlessly to the office door.

"Officer Zhang... Something terrible has happened!"

The officer spoke urgently, his face showing a hint of panic.

Zhang Fuxi was slightly taken aback. He glanced over and, seeing the police officer's expression, his eyes filled with displeasure. He asked coldly, "What's wrong?"

"Those mules have surrounded our police station!!" the officer said quickly, catching his breath.

"What?" Zhang Fuxi asked incredulously.

Gulu! !

The officer swallowed hard and nodded emphatically.

At the same time, he gave him a look, signaling him to look out the window.

Zhang Fuxi's eyes narrowed, and with a hint of disbelief, he watched Jiang Lai warily while slowly backing away to the window.

He approached the window, turned his head slightly, and glanced down at the police station from the corner of his eye.

Suddenly, his eyes widened as if he had witnessed something unbelievable.

Outside the police station, a dense crowd surrounded it. Zhang Fuxi's gaze even extended to the street corner, yet he still couldn't see the end of the crowd.

These people were all dressed in black, some in suits, some in T-shirts, a dark mass of people.

Leading the group were Fly, Abu, and Chicken, who, like a dark cloud, shrouded the entire street.

"What do you think you're doing? You think this will stop me from arresting you?"

Zhang Fuxi suddenly turned around and roared at Jiang Lai in a sharp voice.

How could he not know that these were all Jiang Lai's men? But he still faced Jiang Lai with a tough attitude.

He'd seen plenty of triads; he'd seen all sorts of things among the hundreds of thousands of gang members in Hong Kong.

Chapter 156 I'm leaving now

"I'm warning you, Jiang Lai, Hong Kong isn't a place for short mules like you to control everything!!"

Oh!!

"Even a short mule can't cover up everything, so why should you?" Jiang Lai retorted sarcastically in response to Zhang Fuxi's stern tone.

"I..." Zhang Fuxi was about to speak, but then he noticed Chen Guozhong and the others, so he swallowed back what he was about to say and changed his words to, "I am a policeman. With me here, I will not tolerate your insolence!!"

After speaking, Zhang Fuxi looked at Jiang Lai with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, as if he had become the embodiment of justice.

"Police?" Jiang Lai smiled dismissively, his eyes filled with disdain.

"Does being a police officer mean you can just swear at people?" Jiang looked at Charles.

"Does this mean the police can collude with someone like Wang Bao?" Jiang Lai looked at Zhang Fuxi, his voice gradually rising.

After he finished speaking, his expression changed, and he looked at Zhang Fuxi with a sinister gaze.

His gaze was so intense that Zhang Fuxi dared not meet his eyes.

Zhang Fuxi subconsciously avoided Jiang Lai's gaze, snorted coldly, and said, "I don't understand what you're saying!!"

Although he pretended to be calm, his heart was beating faster than usual, and he could feel a sense of pressure from Jiang Lai's gaze.

Jiang Lai stared at Zhang Fuxi, then regained his composure and spoke:

"It's okay if you don't understand, I believe there are people who can."

"For example... ordinary people in Hong Kong, or the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC)?"

Do you think they can understand it?

Jiang Lai spoke in a threatening tone, and with each word Zhang Fuxi sullenly, his face grew darker until it was so black it seemed to drip ink.

At this point, anyone who isn't a fool can understand Jiang's implied meaning.

Even Chen Guozhong looked at Zhang Fuxi with a complicated expression when he heard Jiang Lai's words.

All his previous actions against Wang Bao—why they had failed, why Wang Bao knew his route for escorting the witness, and why his informant had been killed by Wang Bao—seemed to have answers at this moment.

Although Jiang Lai didn't explain, and Zhang Fuxi couldn't ask in this situation, his gaze also turned cold, making Zhang Fuxi feel a chill down his spine.

Zhang Fuxi avoided eye contact with Chen Guozhong, and his imposing manner weakened.

Jiang Lai killed Wang Bao, and Zhang Fuxi didn't know whether Jiang Lai was just bluffing him or if he really had some evidence.

After all, he had indeed been receiving bribes from Wang Bao every month for many years.

Not only him, but even the foreigners behind him accepted bribes.

This is why Charles came to confront Wang Bao in a fit of rage after hearing of Wang Bao's death.

Unlike Zhang Fuxi's solemn expression, Jiang Lai walked slowly toward Charles after finishing his speech.

As soon as Jiang Lai moved, Zhang Fuxi immediately positioned himself between the two, watching Jiang Lai warily.

The other two officers quickly moved closer, watching Jiang Lai with equal vigilance.

At this time, even the office door was surrounded by police, including Wah Gor, Ah Lok, Ah Chen, and others.

"Get out of the way!" Jiang Lai looked at Zhang Fuxi calmly and spoke indifferently.

"What else do you want to do?"

"Jiang Lai, don't do anything reckless!!" Chen Guozhong was also watching Jiang Lai's movements and kindly reminded him, afraid that Jiang Lai would do something outrageous again.

Charles instinctively shrank back, hiding behind Zhang Fuxi.

Jiang Lai turned his head to look at Chen Guozhong, a slight smile playing on his lips, and gave him a look that indicated he could rest assured.

"Actually... I believe most police officers are righteous."

After speaking, Jiang Lai looked around, his eyes sweeping over each police officer. Even surrounded by police, his gaze remained calm and composed.

Following Jiang Lai's gaze, Chen Guozhong noticed the large number of police officers watching behind him.

He turned and walked to the office door, coldly saying, "What are you looking at? Don't you have anything better to do?"

Go back to your own business!

After Chen Guozhong shouted a few times, the police officers at the door gradually dispersed.

Even though some officers glanced inside out of curiosity, they returned to their positions.

Although Chan Kwok-chung was only a senior inspector, he had been with the police station for many years and was very prestigious there.

"You all go out first!!" Turning around again, Chen Guozhong gave the same order to the three police officers inside.

The three police officers inside looked at each other, and then simultaneously turned their gaze to Zhang Fuxi.

The three of them were undecided for a moment, after all, Zhang Fuxi was the police chief.

Just as the group was hesitating...

“Zhang…Zhang…Zhang sir,” a police officer suddenly said, his eyes wide and his finger pointing at Zhang Fuxi with some trepidation.

His strange behavior also drew attention from others.

Glug!! Glug!

Two more sounds of swallowing rang out, and the other two police officers also widened their eyes, looking at Zhang Fuxi with a tense expression and some worry.

Chen Guozhong also noticed Zhang Fuxi, his eyes narrowed immediately, and he looked nervously at Jiang Lai.

"Huh?" Zhang Fuxi was a little confused by everyone's actions.

He subconsciously touched his cheek. Was there anything wrong?

Zhang Fuxi was somewhat puzzled.

But the fact that everyone was watching him made him realize something.

I subconsciously looked behind me.

Just as he turned around, he felt a stinging pain in the corner of his eye.

He raised his arm to block the light, and a tiny point of light appeared in his palm.

Not only that, but some light spots also appeared on other parts of his body.

Even during the day, these little red dots were still faintly visible in the slightly dimly lit office.

In an instant, his muscles tensed, his eyes widened, and his breathing became rapid and heavy, as if he sensed a great crisis.
