Repulse Bay, a hillside villa area.
Upon hearing Shen Shaofeng's words, Cai Yuanqi exclaimed, "Welcome, Shaofeng!"
He stood up, walked to the small coffee table in the bedroom, picked up the wine bottle on the table, poured himself a glass of red wine, and gently swirled the wine glass.
"Stone already informed me that you were injured. How are you?"
For a politician like him, winning people's hearts and minds at all times has become an instinct.
"It's nothing serious, Inspector Choi."
Shen Shaofeng gave a brief reply on the other end of the phone before immediately reporting to his superior: "I raided the auto repair shop with the Shadow Squad—we killed six people on the spot. The survivor I interrogated, nicknamed Little Bird, wasn't with the doctor's group—"
"Oh?" Cai Yuanqi raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, it's another group of outsiders. Their leader is nicknamed 'Professor,' and he's currently being held at our police headquarters by Interpol."
"These guys are international drug traffickers; their goal is to hijack the prison van tomorrow morning—"
Shen Shaofeng gave a brief introduction to the situation.
"Hmm, these bastards are pretty bold, daring to set their sights on the Interpol division's evidence room."
Cai Yuanqi took a sip of red wine, quickly calculating what benefits he could gain from this case that had turned out to be such a huge blunder.
On the surface, Shen Shaofeng arrested the wrong people; he wanted the doctor and his gang of terrorists, but ended up arresting a group of drug dealers.
But thinking about it more deeply, this is actually a great thing.
The doctor and his gang might be targeting wealthy individuals or planning terrorist activities, which would affect the security of Hong Kong Island.
But the drug dealers at the repair shop were different.
They were trying to hijack a prison van that was about to transport the professor to the United States and was heading to the airport, and to steal the $90 million in stolen money that Interpol had seized.
This is already a transnational serious crime, directly provoking international law enforcement agencies.
If they succeed, what will become of Interpol's reputation?
How will the DEA (Department of Drug Enforcement) view his abilities as the current top officer?
But now, Shen Shaofeng has captured them all.
What does this mean?
This means that the Hong Kong Island Police Force under his leadership, Choi Yuen-ki, successfully thwarted a major conspiracy targeting international law enforcement agencies.
It protected evidence worth US$90 million and upheld the rule of law image of Hong Kong Island as an international city.
For him, the top dog, this achievement is a source of political capital that will boost his prestige within Interpol, the United States, and even Downing Street.
Furthermore, it is a significant asset that will allow him to remain active at the top of the power game pyramid in a higher capacity after he steps down from his position as the top dog.
Most importantly, when Shen Shaofeng called himself, his first words were "Mission accomplished."
This means that he should have already obtained the information about international channels and funding networks from the side jobs he gave to Shen Shaofeng.
Is there a difference between getting it from a doctor and getting it from a bird?
They are all international criminals, so they must have these channels.
Very good, excellent.
Shen Shaofeng, what a lucky charm!
"Shaofeng, you did a great job!"
Cai Yuanqi's voice carried undisguised admiration.
"Thank you, Officer Cai. As for the other things Xiao Niao told me about, I will report to him in person late tonight after I have completed the on-site handover procedures."
"Hmm, no rush. What's the situation on site right now? Have all the guys arrived?"
"That's about it."
Cai Yuanqi pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, Shaofeng, the credit can be distributed to your other colleagues in the Zero Division, as you previously suggested. You also need to expand your network at the grassroots level so that things will be easier for you in the future."
"I'll take care of the rest of the work."
"Understood, Officer Cai."
Cai Yuanqi hung up the phone, took another sip of red wine, put down the glass, and walked to the bedside.
He picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Hello, it's me. There's a case in Yuen Long that my men are solving. Like last time, please arrange for someone you trust to go to the scene."
Lankou Village, Changlong Auto Repair Shop.
Shen Shaofeng put the satellite phone back in the armrest box and slumped into the driver's seat.
Cai Yuanqi's reaction was exactly what he had expected.
No, it's better than I expected.
The fact that he never mentioned his own blunder, but instead praised himself highly, made everything seem so natural and showed such consideration for his subordinates.
As expected of Cai Yuanqi, he displayed the proper demeanor of a superior who treats subordinates with respect.
Does Cai Yuanqi genuinely admire himself?
It's about half and half. He mainly values me because I can "do things" for him and have some use to him.
Compared to Li Wenbin, Shen Shaofeng clearly distinguished who truly considered him a brother and who only wanted to take advantage of him.
He will certainly provide the channels that Cai Yuanqi wants, but he will do so selectively, just as he did with the ones he previously obtained from Ni Yongxiao.
It must be something that satisfies Cai Yuanqi, making him rely on him more, while also secretly retaining some key elements as bargaining chips for future counterattacks.
This balance is actually very difficult to strike.
Is it like pretending to be a snake, snatching chestnuts from a fire, or trying to get something out of a tiger?
Haha, Mr. Choi, we'll see.
As he was pondering, the sound of sirens grew closer.
Accompanied by several screeching sounds of tires screeching against the ground, five cars pulled up one after another next to his black Nissan.
"Shaofeng!"
He Guozheng got off the car first, followed by Yang Bier, Shi Shu, Wang Zhicong, Lin Yongtai, and Peng Yingqi.
The comrades of B1-1 and B1-2, along with other uniformed officers and PTU and EU personnel, finally arrived at the scene before the rest of the military.
"Hi, you've arrived."
Shen Shaofeng got out of the car and waved to them as a greeting.
Yang Bier was the most observant and noticed that Shen Shaofeng had several scars on his face, and his sleeves and pants were also torn. He looked disheveled and was quite startled.
"Shaofeng, are you alright?"
She stepped forward with concern, grabbed Shen Shaofeng's arm, and examined it carefully.
"It's nothing, just a superficial wound, a minor scrape."
Shen Shaofeng waved his hand to indicate that he was alright: "Everyone, come in with me. The situation is a bit complicated, let's talk as we walk."
The group quickly followed Shen Shaofeng into the repair shop, which was still filled with the smell of gunpowder, blood, and burnt meat.
Upon entering the factory, even the most experienced Wang Zhizong and Uncle Shi couldn't help but gasp and their expressions changed drastically.
Shell casings, broken glass, wood chips, twisted metal parts, and even large pieces of sheet metal were scattered all over the ground.
Every building was riddled with bullet holes.
The warehouse area where the massive explosion occurred has been reduced to scorched earth, with unrecognizable debris scattered around.
What was most chilling was the sight of the seven dead bodies of the perpetrators lying dead in various places!
Uh—to be precise, there are five complete bodies, and two more—both are acquaintances.
"Wow, this is so exaggerated, is this a war?" Even though Yang Bier is a senior inspector and has been with the 0 Bureau for many years, this is the first time she has seen such a large-scale scene.
Lin Yongtai, Situ Wen'an, Ye Hui, Zeng Jinghang, Zhang Yao and others couldn't help but turn pale and furrow their brows.
Peng Yingqi, the newest one present, used her strong willpower to suppress her churning stomach and prevent herself from vomiting on the spot.
The way everyone looked at Shen Shaofeng was filled with lingering fear and disbelief.
How did Shao Feng manage to fight these ruthless bandits to this extent?
How did he manage to do it all by himself? Did he transform into Rambo?
No, if the problem has already been solved, then why did they send us here fully armed?
Uncle Shi, being a seasoned detective, quickly regained his composure and said in a deep voice, "Shaofeng, these bandits have such fierce firepower, and they even have grenades or other explosives? You—"
He was about to ask, "How exactly did you manage to handle them?", but the words caught in his throat. He simply patted him on the shoulder and said, "You were too reckless—"
Shen Shaofeng could feel the astonishment, admiration, and confusion in everyone's eyes.
He calmly began, "This is a group of international drug traffickers who smuggled themselves in and planned to hijack a prison van—I received intelligence and have been keeping an eye on them. Roy knows about this too—"
He briefly described the Birds' group's prison break plan, and how the enemy resisted fiercely during the raid, but was eventually defeated after a fierce firefight.
There was no forced confession.
He Guozheng nodded beside him: "Yes, I was in charge of keeping watch on Shaofeng before —"
"By the way, Shaofeng, what exactly did you mean by finding professionals?"
He couldn't help but ask the question that was lingering in his mind.
Shen Shaofeng waved his hand to stop him.
"We'll talk about it later. There are still two survivors over there, they're from the auto repair shop. Roy, you and Wen'an take them back to the car, then come back, and I'll explain everything to you in detail."
"Understood!" He Guozheng and Situ Wen'an nodded immediately and escorted He Zhenxiong and the mechanic back to the car.
Five minutes later, the two sprinted back to the repair shop.
Everyone stared intently at Shen Shaofeng, waiting for his explanation.
"My brothers and sisters."
Shen Shaofeng's voice clearly reached everyone's ears: "You saw it on the scene. These are ruthless bandits. They deserve to die."
But what I'm about to say concerns the future of all of us, and whether this case can be concluded satisfactorily.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, knowing that something unexpected was about to happen.
"Obviously, I'm not Superman, and I can't take down these bastards all by myself."
"So, as Roy said before, I found a group of professionals. I can't say exactly who they are, and you shouldn't ask. Just know that they only take the lead and don't get involved in the aftermath."
The group exchanged glances, various thoughts flashing through their minds.
Shi Shu and Wang Zhizong exchanged a glance, both showing thoughtful expressions.
"Now here's the problem."
Shen Shaofeng's tone turned serious. "These ruthless thugs were dealt with by that group of professionals and me, but they can't be mentioned in the report."
"Therefore, the credit should go to us. And the credit for killing these bastards should go to us."
He carefully chose his words, saying each one deliberately, "To ensure the operation report is flawless, everyone, pick up your MP5s and each of you take a few more shots."
After he finished speaking, the factory was deathly silent.
A follow-up shot?
Everyone was stunned, almost thinking they had misheard.
Shoot a dead criminal to finish him off? That's a serious violation of police regulations! If caught, it's not just a matter of being stripped of your uniform; you'll go to jail!
"Boss, I don't understand."
Wang Zhizong is an honest man; if he doesn't understand something, he'll ask immediately.
Shen Shaofeng patted him on the shoulder: "Acong, and everyone else, you don't need to worry about the procedures. I just want to ask you one question."
Do you think I, Shen Shaofeng, would harm you?
In fact, whether they finish off the gun or not is a minor matter. Since Cai Yuanqi, the top leader, has promised to handle the aftermath of the case, Shen Shaofeng believes he can definitely resolve it.
However, for Shen Shaofeng to climb the ranks in the police force, he would need real insiders to help him, so—
Everyone understood that this was both official business of Team B and a "side job" involving everyone's interests.
Once the gun was fired, everyone present was truly one of their own.
Since the other party is a ruthless bandit, it's not like we're asking them to indiscriminately kill innocent people.
Moreover, as Shaofeng said, he wouldn't harm himself. When the boss asked him to do side jobs to help Xiangzai replenish that bag of flour, he followed without hesitation when he first joined the company.
He Guozheng took a deep breath, picked up his MP5, walked towards the shed, and pulled the trigger at the bald man.
"Da da da".
Next up were Yang Bier, Uncle Shi, and other members of Team B1-1 —
Surprisingly, the first to make a move was the rookie Peng Yingqi, led by Shen Shaofeng's B1-2!
She looked at Shen Shaofeng with her big eyes: "Boss, you're right! We're police officers, and they're ruthless criminals. I believe you won't hurt me."
"Da da da".
"Damn, Yingqi, you're making it sound like I don't believe you. I was just a little confused before."
Without hesitation, Wang Zhicong pulled the trigger on the ruthless bandit in the factory area.
Next was Situ Wen'an, then Ye Hui —
The one who made the final move was Lin Yongtai, who was the most prudent person.
He gave Shen Shaofeng a deep look, then opened fire on the sentry that Mickey had dealt with.
After everyone was settled, Shen Shaofeng clapped his hands and said, "Brothers, don't worry, you won't regret what happened today."
Since everyone had already taken action, there was no point in thinking further. Instead, they reminisced about their contributions to the case, after all, he was an international criminal!
Just then, more vehicles approached from outside.
Sirens blared, and a large number of footsteps sounded.
The PTU and EU, along with a large contingent of military personnel, as well as forensic scientists and medical examiners, finally arrived.
Shen Shaofeng had finished dealing with everything, but a wave of exhaustion washed over him, mixed with the injuries he had sustained from the previous explosion.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he remembered a scene from his past life where a certain "know-it-all" almost got shot, after which his approval rating soared. Then, he closed his eyes and collapsed—
"Shaofeng!!!"
Everyone was shocked!
