The Hunter's Path: Starting as a constable, ascend to the Old Ones.

"Salena, how much spare cash do you have on hand right now?"

That night, Lu Ming, who had just finished work and returned home, inquired about Salina's current financial situation.

Serena originally planned to open a clothing store in the Galaxy Center shopping mall, but the bombing forced the plan to be abandoned.

Fortunately, they were only there to inspect the shop and hadn't yet invested in renovations, otherwise they would have suffered a huge loss.

Serena, dressed in a silk nightgown, sat on the bed with her legs drawn up. When Lu Ming asked her this, she thought for a moment before saying, "I originally had more than 200,000 yuan in savings, and later I sold the room and got more than 500,000 yuan. All in all, I have about 800,000 yuan."

She really is a rich girl.

When Lu Ming heard about Salina's savings, he finally understood how true his colleagues' jokes were.

"Ah Ming, why are you asking this? Are you short of money? If you are, I can transfer you 100,000 first..."

Serena was a little surprised that Lu Ming suddenly became curious about her savings. Previously, Lu Ming had always been indifferent to these matters, as if he had no interest in money.

"If you have time, you can buy some shares of Hongkong Land Group on the stock market." Lu Ming took off his coat, picked out a set of clothes from his suitcase, and said with a smile, "Hongkong Land Group's stock has been falling all the way down because of the bombing extortion case. Now is the best time to buy at the bottom."

The Galaxy Center shopping mall bombing was already widely known, and the subsequent bomb extortion case was also spreading within a small circle.

The stock market is heavily influenced by market sentiment. A series of negative news about Hongkong Land Group led to a lack of confidence among shareholders, resulting in a sell-off of their shares and a sharp decline in Hongkong Land Group's stock price in the short term.

However, Lu Ming knew that it was only a matter of time before he caught the group of bomb-wielding bandits, and coincidentally, he also saw the land purchase plan worth 3 million in the chairman's office of the Land Group.

Once these two pieces of news get out, Hongkong Land's stock price will immediately surge.

Now is the best time to buy Hongkong Land shares.

Upon hearing this, Serena immediately thought it made sense, but then she worriedly asked, "Ming, wouldn't this involve you using your position for insider trading? That's a serious securities crime. What will happen if the Independent Commission Against Corruption investigates?"

"Don't worry, this is just a normal stock transaction and it won't involve any insider trading. Besides, if no one reports me, the authorities won't investigate. The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) would only investigate me if they had nothing better to do."

Lu Ming did not reveal the information about the land purchase plan of the Land Group to Shalena. Only heaven, earth, and himself knew about this matter. Even Uncle Biao, who went with him to the Land Group headquarters to install the bugging device, did not know this information.

So even if the matter is leaked, he is not afraid. The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) will need to obtain evidence to investigate him.

Moreover, as he said, as long as no one reports him, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) won't have time to pay attention to a mere police sergeant like him; they're all eyeing the big shots above them.

By the time he attracts the attention of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), he may already be a retired police officer.

Whether they will be on Hong Kong Island at that time is still unknown.

Upon hearing this, Serena was immediately relieved and beamed with joy. "In that case, I can take out 700,000 to invest in stocks, and the opening of the shop can be postponed for a while."

She has been looking for a new shop for the past two days and has already set her sights on a shop inside the Landmark Plaza shopping mall, which is owned by Hongkong Land Group. She plans to go and inspect and discuss it when she has time.

It now seems that we can postpone it again.

"Remember, don't be too greedy, know when to stop, and keep a low profile. Avoid causing trouble if you can."

Lu Ming gave Salina a few words of advice, then picked up his clothes to prepare for a bath.

"Ah Ming, I know what to do, thank you for your suggestion."

Serena happily got out of bed, went over to hug Lu Ming, gave him a sweet kiss, her eyes sparkling with affection, and bit her lip, "You must be exhausted after a long day, right? Let me scrub your back."

Back rubbing is certainly not limited to just rubbing the back.

After all, guns are prone to accidental discharge if you keep wiping them.

……

Good morning, everyone!

As a new day dawned, Lu Ming, having rested overnight, bought breakfast and arrived at the Major Crimes Unit's listening room with renewed energy. At this time, Chen Jiaju, the workaholic, had already arrived and taken over from Tang Zhen and Jin Dazui, who had stayed up all night listening.

"Good morning, A-Ming."

Wearing headphones, Chen Jiaju listened intently to the proceedings in the chairman's office of the Landmark Group. He was extremely serious about handling cases.

"Good morning, Officer Lu!"

There were five other technical colleagues in the listening room who greeted Lu Ming warmly as soon as they saw him.

"I brought breakfast for everyone, but it only includes pineapple buns and soy milk. I don't know if you'll be used to it."

"Officer Lu, we're not picky, thank you!"

The other five police officers happily accepted the breakfast; free breakfast is free, so why not take it?

"Oh dear, Ah Ming, I completely forgot to eat breakfast."

Chen Jiaju grabbed the pineapple bun and stuffed it into his mouth, while simultaneously sipping soy milk and swallowing.

"How's the situation? Have you intercepted any useful intelligence?"

Lu Ming pulled over a chair, sat down, and asked Chen Jiaju about the wiretapping situation and whether the bomb-wielding bandits had called again to demand money.

"It's all just a bunch of useless ramblings that don't help the case at all."

Chen Jiaju shook his head.

Lu Ming picked up an earphone, put it on, and said with a smile, "Be patient. Since these bomb-wielding thugs want to extort money from the Real Estate Group, they won't just make one call. Let's wait and see!"

"I knew that was the case." Chen Jiaju suddenly smiled. "Yesterday, thanks to you for taking down that bastard Sang Hui and getting information out of him about the Polar Bear gang of bomb thugs, otherwise this case would still be at a standstill, let alone being solved within three days."

"Uncle Biao has already had people compile information on these people, and we should have results soon. Hopefully, we can successfully bring this group of audacious bandits to justice."

After arresting Sang Hui yesterday, Lu Ming and Chen Jiaju sent him back to the police station and conducted another round of surprise interrogation, extracting many useful clues from him.

In particular, intelligence regarding Polar Bear and others who purchased large quantities of explosives.

beep!

While the two were talking, a red light on the workbench suddenly went off.

"Inspector Chen, Inspector Lu, it's a call from the gangsters."

"Understood. Continue monitoring."

Lu Ming and Chen Jiaju listened intently to what was happening through their earphones.

"Chairman, have you thought this through? Ten million? If you know what's good for you, prepare it for us as soon as possible. Otherwise, we don't mind sending you a big firecracker... Boom! The scene will definitely be quite a sight, haha."

An arrogant voice came through the headphones.

"Don't worry, we've already discussed it at the board meeting, and we agree in principle to pay this money. However, as you know... ten million is no small sum, and we need time to raise it."

A rather tense voice rang out from the chairman's office of the Landmark Group. The voice didn't sound like the chairman's, but rather like that of a senior executive who had been pushed out to take charge of the matter.

"Investigate the source of the call immediately!"

Inside the listening room, a flurry of activity ensued. After some work, the five technical colleagues finally pinpointed the source of the call to a public phone booth at the Tin Hau Temple on Ting Kok Road in Tai Po District.

Upon seeing that they had tracked down the criminals' exact location, Chan Ka-kui was overjoyed. He immediately picked up his walkie-talkie and called out, "This is Central Police Station. Calling the officers on Tai Po Ting Kok Road. Is anyone patrolling nearby?"

"This is PC12674, what can I do for you?"

"Immediately find out the identity of the person who came out of the public phone booth at the Tianhou Temple. Remember, this person is a ruthless criminal. Do not take any risks unless you are certain."

"PC12674 received, over!"
