Chapter 904 There is a mole

In the past, anti-corruption incidents rarely resulted in human lives, but in cases like the Z Fund involving huge funds, it is not uncommon for people to lose their lives.

Therefore, whether for his own safety or to investigate this case more smoothly, Luk Zhilian urgently needs the help of the Hong Kong Island Police.

In other words, he needs a more violent and legal team than the ICAC to help deal with more vicious enemies.

As for the force that is more violent and legal than the ICAC, the entire Hong Kong Island is naturally the police force.

Originally, it was normal for the ICAC to turn to the police for help when it encountered a tough nut to crack.

But Lu Zhilian had just met a rogue police officer like Huang Wenbin, and coupled with the ICAC's understanding of the police force, sometimes it was not easy to find a relatively reliable partner.

This time Zhou Xingxing and Liu Baoqiang came unexpectedly, which made Lu Zhilian tempted.

Although the two of them said they regretted it after learning their identities.

But judging from the courage of the two of them to break in in the face of more than a dozen gunmen, they are obviously qualified police officers.

So Lu Zhilian also really wants to cooperate with the two of them.

"Hey, you old Lian went out on an investigation mission, did you get any extra subsidies?"

Zhou Xingxing walked in the narrow and dim passage. Originally, he was not interested in Lu Zhilian's proposal.

After all, he still had the case assigned to him by Zhang Pin to handle. It was unclear whether that case could be solved. Naturally, he didn't have time to deal with other cases.

But after hearing Lu Zhilian say that the Independent Commission Against Corruption's case handling funds were much more abundant than those of the police force, he was immediately moved.

The reason for this is naturally because Zhou Xingxing has personally participated in a very well-funded task before.

It was precisely because of his participation in that mission that the unlucky guy Zhou Xingxing actually earned enough money to buy a house on Hong Kong Island.

Although it was only a down payment, it was originally an astronomical sum for Zhou Xingxing.

He spent countless nights imagining that he would once again encounter a case with ample funding, but every time he woke up, he was disappointed.

This time Lu Zhilian proposed cooperation, which gave Zhou Xingxing hope again.

"You said you can't apply for a business trip subsidy. As long as you can help me, if you don't mention anything else, just this time, I can at least help each of you apply for more than 10,000 yuan in labor expenses."

When Lu Zhilian heard Zhou Xingxing withdrawing money from him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

You must know that the Independent Commission Against Corruption itself is a department engaged in anti-corruption work.

Therefore, they know much more about corruption than ordinary institutions.

The first step for many people to commit corruption is naturally due to lack of money, so the Hong Kong team has always advocated high salary and integrity.

As the ICAC is an anti-corruption department, the salary level is naturally not much lower.

At the same time, it is not only to prevent ICAC investigators from being corrupted, but also to ensure smooth investigation, so the ICAC is never stingy with case handling funds.

Even in order to make it easier for investigators to penetrate into corruption, the funding for various informants is also frighteningly generous.

For people like Zhou Xingxing who want labor fees, Lu Zhilian is the favorite.

"This is what you said. I didn't take the initiative to ask for money from you. It is our duty as police officers to help the citizens. We should not ask for benefits from you.

But since you sincerely want to give us hard work money, for the sake of the integrity of the police and the family, I can’t destroy the close friendship between the two parties. Hey, I will reluctantly accept this 10,000 yuan.”

When Zhou Xingxing heard that there was money to be received, a surge of motivation immediately arose in his body.

"Why don't you let me go to the front? I suspect there might be danger outside because it's too quiet in the back."

He immediately took the initiative to speak out, wanting to go ahead, and also reminded everyone to pay attention to the situation.

"There's something wrong. The gunmen didn't seem to follow us from the passage. Could it be that they are still outside the house and don't know that we have left?"

Director An on the side was skeptical about Zhou Xingxing's words.

He mainly didn't believe that the enemy knew so much about the ICAC's safe house.

"Be careful. We're at the exit. I'll give it a try."

Lu Zhilian was not as reassured as Director An.

He himself was very confused about the enemy appearing outside the safe house tonight. After all, the purpose of the ICAC safe house was to hide.

Not to mention that for safety reasons, he moved to a safe house in Yuen Long this afternoon.

Unexpectedly, he moved the safe house with his front foot, and the enemy arrived with his rear foot.

Such a quick move inevitably made Lu Zhilian wonder whether an insider had leaked the news.

And if it was really the insider who leaked the information, since the other party was able to leak the information about the safe house, it would not be surprising that the information was leaked through the channel.

So Lu Zhilian stood not far from the exit and was not in a hurry to go out.

He first checked the weapons on his body and filled the magazine with bullets.

Then he took off his suit jacket and kneaded it into a ball.

Then he looked at the people behind him, signaling them to get ready, and finally quietly pushed open the hidden passage exit.

While pushing open the exit, he said: "Quick, quick, hurry up, come out quickly."

After making sure that the sound could be transmitted outside, he waited for another two or three seconds, and then threw out the suit that was crumpled into a ball in his hands.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang——

Just as the suit flew out, intensive gunshots suddenly came from the originally silent exit. The suit flying in the air was instantly beaten into rags.

"There's really an ambush!"

Director An looked in disbelief.

"There is indeed a mole!"

Lu Zhilian actually breathed a sigh of relief.

He is not afraid of a mole, because as long as the mole is careful, he can find it out, and as long as the mole is careful and does not reveal his information, the other party can only stare.

On the contrary, if the other party is not a mole but can find the safe house of the Independent Commission Against Corruption and knows the safe passage of the safe house, then the other party's energy is terrifyingly strong.

"Get ready, they're almost out of bullets!"

Different from the thoughts of the ICAC and the two men, Zhou Xingxing was eager to give it a try after learning that there was an ambush outside.

Originally, he felt that saving the ICAC people would be of no use, and he would also be in danger, so it would not be worthwhile if he tried his best.

But now Lu Zhilian wants to cooperate with them on the case, share evidence, and pay them.

Zhou Xingxing immediately gained the motivation to work hard.

Moreover, the cooperation with the Independent Commission Against Corruption is not a one-time deal. In order to repay the mortgage, Zhou Xingxing has already made a decision. He must perform well this time and strive for a long-term cooperation with Lu Zhilian.

After all, he knew his situation and was very unlucky on weekdays.

Although the salary in the police force is good, his daily expenses are not small. Now that he has a legal revenue channel, how can Zhou Xingxing be willing to give up.

"Damn, I really need to fight hard!"

Liu Baoqiang’s thoughts on Zhou Xingxing are unknown.

But he wanted to make progress, so naturally he couldn't leave things alone this time. Besides, even if he wanted to retreat, the gunmen outside probably wouldn't agree.

So although he didn't think as much as Zhou Xingxing thought, he was still ready to work hard.

"Damn it, ten thousand yuan is not enough. If everyone survives this time, you, Mr. Lian, must cover our expenses for a month!"

Liu Baoqiang gritted his teeth and did not forget to bargain with Lu Zhilian as he rushed out.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang——

Zhou Xingxing and Liu Baoqiang were both very skilled. When they heard the sporadic gunfire outside and stopped, they immediately rushed out at the same time.

"Ahhhh——"

The safe passage built by the ICAC safe house leads directly to a road.

This time the gunmen thought they had an ambush and would be able to catch all the ICAC officers, so they were careless in their stance.

They didn't even expect that there would be other intruders in this operation.

As a result, Zhou Xingxing and Liu Baoqiang seized the opportunity to kill them. The gunmen standing on the road were instantly killed and turned upside down.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang——

With Zhou Xingxing and Liu Baoqiang as role models, Lu Zhilian and Director An also followed suit.

The four of them beat the gunmen to a pulp in one moment.

Taking advantage of his side's advantage, Zhou Xingxing put away the empty magazine of his pistol, then rushed into the crowd and chose to fight hand to hand.

"Leave a few alive as witnesses!"

He directly clipped a gunman with a deadly scissor kick, and then did not forget to warn others.

After hearing Zhou Xingxing's words, Lu Zhilian and Director An remained indifferent. They just shifted the muzzle of their guns, and then stood there and continued to shoot at other gunmen who were either running away or hiding.

The work of the ICAC is still different from that of the police. They do not need the gunmen as witnesses.

But Liu Baoqiang was different. After he heard Zhou Xingxing's shouting, although he was a little worried, he still rushed forward without hesitation and chose to fight with his bare hands.
