When Zhang Pin drove his car and arrived outside Sima Xiang's villa, he noticed a strange phenomenon.
That's the number of cars outside Sima Xiang's villa. There seem to be a surprising number of cars.
What made him even more suspicious was that the drivers of many cars were still sitting on them, and the cars had not turned off. Looking through the lights, it turned out that these drivers were still ghosts.
Hong Kong Island is a colony of British Hong Kong, so the status of ghosts is naturally not low. Even a ghost without a ghost can find a high-paying position on Hong Kong Island. Therefore, under normal circumstances, few people are willing to be drivers.
"Maybe he is the business partner invited by Uncle Xiang. He may want to explain his funeral tonight. After all, Uncle Xiang will be eighty-five this year."
Chen Lingling also saw this scene, but her first reaction was that these people might have been invited by Sima Xiang.
"No, they seem to be a little hostile to us."
But the next moment, Chen Lingling overturned her guess.
As a senior psychologist, Chen Lingling is relatively sensitive to some emotional things.
She found that when her car approached, there was no cover for the malicious intent of the drivers around her.
"Uncle Xiang, what does this mean?"
Chen Lingling saw the unscrupulous looks of these people and quickly locked the car door, then frowned and thought about the other party's purpose.
Click——
"get off!"
Just as Zhang Pin and Chen Lingling were thinking about what was going on, several drivers waiting at the door became impatient when they saw that they were still not getting off.
So the two of them looked at each other, then opened the car door and walked over with weapons in their hands.
The other party raised his submachine gun, pointed it at Zhang Pin, who was sitting in the driver's seat, pulled the gun bolt, and then asked the two of them to get out of the car.
"What should I do? This car is not bulletproof."
Seeing this scene, Chen Lingling took the initiative to remind Zhang Pin.
"I wonder if my father is here."
Chen Lingling is not worried about the threat of gunpoint. She has been with Zhang Pin for several years. Although she is not completely aware of how strong Zhang Pin is, she is very clear that this kind of scene is not too ordinary for Zhang Pin.
In contrast, looking at the rough behavior of some people outside, she was even more worried about whether her father would be in danger.
"She probably didn't arrive, but there might be something going on inside."
Zhang Pin didn't pay attention to the threats from the little Karami outside the car, but chatted with Chen Lingling about ordinary things.
Dong dong dong——
"Get off the bus, get off the bus!"
A few minions outside the car door couldn't wait for Zhang Pin and Chen Lingling to get out of the car, so they knocked on the car door again and shouted to them.
"I'll give him a call. Should I call the police?"
Chen Lingling breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that her father hadn't arrived yet.
Then she knew that Zhang Pin didn't like his troublesome personality, so she asked if she should call the police.
"Well, let me make a call. They're already at the door. There's an acquaintance inside. We can't let him die like this."
This time, it was rare that Zhang Pin did not choose to shirk and leave the task to other police officers as he had done many times before, but decided to take action himself.
Dong dong dong——
"How good is the soundproofing effect of Rolls-Royce? Didn't they hear what I said?"
Since Zhang Pin and Chen Lingling ignored the two minions outside, they couldn't help but have an illusion.
"Do they not understand what we are saying?"
Another little guy also looked suspicious.
After all, it is impossible for normal people to be as calm as Zhang Pin and Chen Lingling when being pointed at gunpoint.
"Pujie, what we speak is Cantonese. Don't these two Hong Kong Islanders speak Cantonese?"
The two minions are just minions after all, so they can only think in the mindset of the minions.
When they saw Zhang Pin and Chen Lingling chatting in a leisurely mood, the two subconsciously felt that the other party had not heard their reminder, and they even began to reflect on whether they had not informed them in place.
"Don't damage the car, the insurance may not cover it."
Just when the gangster was confused, Zhang Pin waved his hand, and a pistol appeared in his hand.
Seeing Zhang Pin pull out a gun, Chen Lingling's first reaction was to worry about the safety of the Rolls-Royce.
"Ah, then I'll go out and fight!"
After hearing Chen Lingling's reminder, Zhang Pin also felt that it was right.
After all, the car belongs to Chen Lingling, so naturally it is her own.
If such an expensive car is damaged, they will bear the final loss themselves.
In order not to scare the gunmen outside and cause them to shoot and damage the car, Zhang Pin took the initiative to put away his pistol before getting out of the car.
"Hey, brat, why did you take so long! Do you know—"
As soon as Zhang Pin got out of the car, two gunmen came over dissatisfied.
While the opponent was forcing Lai Lai, he raised his gun and prepared to teach Zhang Pin a lesson.
But Sir Zhang had no intention of continuing to act with them.
As soon as he raised his hand, the muzzle of the gun burst into flames.
Bang bang——
As two gunshots rang out, the two gunmen walking towards him fell down.
Bang bang——
Bang bang bang——
Bang bang bang bang——
Then he raised his hands and pulled the trigger wantonly. The gunmen in and around the car were all hit by bullets before they had time to react.
With Zhang Pin's shooting skills, even if it was dark, it wouldn't interfere with him much.
For some guys sitting in cars, for him, it's just one more shot to break the glass, or two more shots to penetrate the glass and the seat.
When the gunfire stopped, Chen Lingling gracefully stepped out of the car.
"Dad said he has contacted the police. There are many elders at the party tonight. I don't know how they are doing. I hope nothing will happen to them."
Chen Lingling's worries are not disguised.
Even though Hong Kong Island is about to return, as a colony, the status of the Chinese has never been much higher.
Even the top rich man like Chen Tianqiao often needs to look at the ghost's face.
If nothing else, let’s just say that HSBC has a strong enough background. Even if its business on Hong Kong Island is poor, it is still very prosperous.
In this environment, in order to strive for sufficient status, the Chinese will naturally choose to cooperate and stick together with each other.
After all, as second-class people, even if the Chinese reach the top of the industry, they cannot have enough power, so they can only join forces with multiple forces to avoid being slaughtered by ghost guys like flying pigs.
Especially since Chen Lingling works in the banking industry, she naturally yearns for having multiple friends.
After all, if the bank is not supported by other wealthy people, how can it get enough deposits to operate.
"Don't be afraid. Since the other party wants to invite Uncle Chen and you over, then the situation inside will definitely not be too bad. They must have some purpose. They should not be ruthless against them until they achieve it."
After all, no matter who is causing trouble this time, there must be a purpose.
There was a room full of old men, and the other party either wanted money or the influence of these people.
But neither money nor influence can be realized in a short time.
"Let's wait for now. When support arrives, we can go in and see what's going on."
Zhang Pin was not in a hurry to go in immediately. After all, the situation inside was unknown, and there was no guarantee that there were people from the other party outside.
Now he is accompanied by Chen Lingling. If something happens to Chen Lingling when he acts alone, the situation will be terrible.
Instead of doing this, it is better to wait and see. Anyway, this is a villa area, and support will arrive soon.
Drip, drip, drip -
Not long after Zhang Pin finished speaking, the first batch of support arrived.
"Pinzi, why is it you?"
The first person to come here was none other than Chen Jiaju.
"I was originally invited to attend a party, but something wasn't right. Someone seemed to be trying to achieve something."
Zhang Pin was a little surprised when he saw Chen Jiaju.
"How come it's so late at night and you're still on duty?"
There is a reason for Zhang Pin's strangeness.
In order to protect the safety of citizens, the Hong Kong Island Police naturally arranges police patrols 24 hours a day.
Especially in places like Central District where there are many ghosts, the police presence at night is actually no less than during the day. For safety reasons, sometimes there are even more police presence at night.
After all, some criminals are worried about being caught during the day and like to commit trouble at night.
But generally speaking, those on duty and patrolling at night are usually police officers, and a few inspectors are responsible for the duty. Heads of the serious crime team like Chen Jiaju generally will not be on night shift unless there are special circumstances.
After all, the Crime Squad is a powerful department of the Hong Kong Island Police Force and has always been responsible for major and important cases.
The burden on his shoulders is very heavy, and it is impossible for him to have time to do ordinary work such as being on duty.
"Well, I was recently rotated to the traffic team."
Chen Jiaju felt a little embarrassed when he heard Zhang Pin's inquiry.
He has always been a face-saving person, and the news that he was transferred to the traffic team was not publicized. Zhang Pin spent most of his time working with his beauty, so he didn't know much about Chen Jiaju's current situation.
"Well, it's pretty good. No matter how high or low the position is, they all serve the public."
Hearing Chen Jiaju's words, even a person as shameless as Zhang Pin didn't know what to say for a moment.
Chen Jiaju is a protagonist after all, and he has helped the other party a lot, but his ability to cause trouble is simply speechless.
"If you can't stay at the Central District Police Station, why not come to my place? There have been a lot of cases in our jurisdiction recently, and there are also guys from other jurisdictions asking us to cooperate with us in handling cases. We don't have enough manpower."
Chen Jiaju is already a superintendent-level boss, and being the head of the Central District Crime Squad is considered a high-profile job.
However, he was transferred to the traffic team just like that. Either someone from the Central District Police Station was targeting him, or his crime was too serious and transfer was already the lightest punishment.
Zhang Pin is not sure which one the other party is, but no matter which one it is, a police superintendent being transferred to the traffic team will actually have a great impact on Chen Jiaju's future promotion resume.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll be doing rotation in the traffic team for a few days and then I'll go back."
Chen Jiaju rejected Zhang Pin's invitation without even thinking about it.
With his macho character, it is impossible for him to accept being a subordinate to his good friend of many years.
Although Chen Jiaju looks careless, his self-esteem is actually very strong.
"Well, then you can take care of it yourself. If you need any help, just ask."
Zhang Pin said it casually, knowing that Chen Jiaju didn't want to come over.
In fact, even if the other party comes, the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station is still too small and there is no room for a superintendent like Chen Jiakui.
After all, there are already people in the crime squad and the anti-gangster squad, and other departments are also in different positions.
Of course, Zhang Pin's invitation was not entirely perfunctory. If Chen Jiaju had some reasons, he also had a newly established joint wealth intelligence team.
Although the current personnel structure of this group has not been established yet, its future rights can be foreseen.
Especially with the return of Hong Kong Island, there needs to be a window to the outside world.
Hong Kong Island happens to have its previous foundation, coupled with its unique economic and culture, it is still very attractive to capital.
And as long as there is an influx of capital, there will naturally be no shortage of money laundering-related cases.
Of course, this is a new department after all, and it is foreseeable that this department may require more brains than the crime squad and the anti-gangster squad.
Zhang Pin expressed strong doubts about whether Chen Jiaju had enough brains.
"Why is there no reaction inside? Could it be that he has escaped? How about I go in and take a look."
Chen Jiaju didn't care whether what Zhang Pin said was true or false. He saw that there was no movement in the villa, and he suddenly worried that the criminals inside had left.
The last case was not done satisfactorily, and Chen Jiaju urgently needs an eye-catching case to help him return to the serious crime team.
So after learning that this case might have a great impact, he immediately became interested.
"Well, sure, but be careful, these guys don't look like they're easy to mess with."
Zhang Pin did not refuse Chen Jiaju's idea to test it out.
He was actually curious about what the other party wanted to do with such a group of old men.
Logically speaking, if it is kidnapping and ransom, it is generally better to find young people as pawns.
For example, the son of Li Chaoren's family, because this kind of person is the future and belongs to the successor. If there is no successor, then there will be no one to inherit the huge family business.
Or even if you are the head of a family, you must be the kind of person who is young and strong and the mainstay of the family.
This kind of person is often the backbone of the family. If they are missing, the family business will not be able to survive.
But for old men like Sima Xiang and Uncle Tong, criminals rarely kidnap them.
The reason is very practical. Although an old man like this controls most of the family's power, he is actually a hindrance to many successors.
After all, who can’t take over after being a prince for decades?
So if this kind of person is kidnapped, maybe some people have bad intentions, or the family relationship is not that good, which may actually cause bad things and deliberately lead criminals to fight against each other.
So even though these old men are very famous and have high prestige, the attributes of the mascots are actually higher than their actual value. ()
