Chapter 403: Can You Bring Yourselves to Do It?

On the other side, Fenghua International had been hyped up several times over.

The Captain of the Serious Crimes Unit, surnamed Huang, stormed into the surveillance and monitoring team to demand an explanation.

However, the previous recordings had long since been altered by Lin Yixiang and Yang Zhen, and the logs had been deleted by the female officer with whom Captain Huang was having an affair, so absolutely no issues could be detected.

Furious, Captain Huang smashed the water dispenser.

He then shouted, "Yesterday, the stock price of Fenghua International was hyped up several times over by this group of people. My superiors are very dissatisfied. From this minute on, everyone pull yourselves together and keep a close eye on them. Is that clear?"

"Understood!" the group replied half-heartedly.

After all, monitoring and surveillance work is exhausting; no one can stand staring at this stuff all day.

Facing this nonsense from Captain Huang, everyone ignored it and continued their monitoring and surveillance work as usual.

Only Liang Junyi, Yang Zhen, and Lin Yixiang wore strange expressions on their faces.

During the subsequent monitoring, after the people from the Securities and Futures Commission left.

Two major shareholders of Fenghua International, Xu Wei and Fei Guoxiong, walked into an office.

These two were very cautious; before talking, they not only removed the batteries from their phones but also turned on the room's speakers and cranked the volume to the maximum.

Now, the entire monitoring and surveillance team had no way to proceed and could only watch the two hold their secret meeting.

The team leader of the monitoring group, A Guang, said to Liang Junyi and the others, "Can you eliminate the noise?"

"We are trying to find a way."

Liang Junyi and the others didn't actually have a good solution; they fiddled with it for a long time to no avail.

But when Yang Zhen saw the lighters in the two men's hands, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Because the last time they went to install the bugs, Yang Zhen discovered that one lighter was problematic, so he hijacked the signal source of the bug inside that lighter.

He had only told his two brothers about this and hadn't told anyone else.

So he secretly adjusted the channel and then took out an identical lighter to fiddle with in his hands.

Liang Junyi and Lin Yixiang also knew about the bug inside the lighter, so they immediately followed Yang Zhen and adjusted their channels. A moment later, they could clearly hear the conversation between Xu Wei and Fei Guoxiong.

"Hey, come in and talk for a bit!"

"Luo Yaoming has gone crazy; we must talk to him. He has the most stock in his hands!"

"If he sells all the stock he holds after trading resumes, how will we answer to the Boss? We'll have to jump off a building!"

"Are you really planning to talk to him? What is there to talk about with a person like that?"

"At worst, I'll buy all the stock he has with you! We have to stabilize the stock price first! The Boss threw so much money into this; if anything goes wrong, neither you nor I have enough lives to pay for it!"

"Actually, I've already talked to the Boss. He said people like Luo Yaoming cannot be kept! He has already sent A Hua to take action!"

"To kill him?"

"If he doesn't die, we're finished!"

Hearing this conversation, the three members of the monitoring team didn't know what to do.

After all, this involved human life, but they were already completely trapped in the situation.

After struggling for a long time, the three decided to save Luo Yaoming, or at least not let him die.

And so, the three took turns tailing Luo Yaoming.

At the same time, Sima Xiang and his subordinate Information Officers were also following Luo Yaoming.

And they quickly discovered the three members of the monitoring team.

"Brother Xiang, these three guys seem to be here for Luo Yaoming too!" the Information Officer said to Sima Xiang.

Sima Xiang looked at the three sneaky men and frowned, saying, "Are they here to kill Luo Yaoming?"

The Information Officer shook his head and said, "I don't think so!"

"Check their identities." Sima Xiang hated it when unexpected variables appeared; it went against his style of doing things.

The Information Officer immediately opened the database and began filtering through photos.

The equipment used by the Information Department under Chen Jiajun had been updated; they could now even connect to the Police database, and the identities of the three soon appeared on the computer.

The Information Officer said in surprise, "Strange! These three guys are actually Police!"

"Police? How did they know Luo Yaoming would be in danger?" Sima Xiang suddenly felt that the situation was slipping out of his control.

If the Police intervened, things would become even more troublesome.

"Their files... wait, these three guys are from the CID monitoring team, and the case they've been handling recently is Fenghua International!" the Information Officer said immediately in surprise.

Sima Xiang paused: "Wait, you mean the three of them are assigned to this case? Then why didn't they report it?"

"Wait, let me check their financial status!" The Information Officer's hands tapped rapidly on the keyboard.

Soon, the Information Officer discovered the catch: "Aside from their Captain, Liang Junyi, the other two have financial problems!"

"Lin Yixiang borrowed money from loan sharks to play the stock market and is now trapped; this one called Yang Zhen owes a huge amount of unpaid medical bills to the hospital!"

Sima Xiang laughed as soon as he heard the Information Officer: "So that's it, people driven to desperation!" "Brother Xiang, what do we do now? Should we still take action?" the Information Officer asked.

"Let's see what they want to do!" Sima Xiang narrowed his eyes and said, "I think this is getting interesting!"

The Information Officer shrugged, not expressing his own opinion; after all, they were only transferred here to assist Sima Xiang, so naturally, they followed his lead.

Inside the yacht at this moment, the henchman beside Ma Zhihua had already taken action against Luo Yaoming.

He first knocked Luo Yaoming out, then stuffed a few pills into his mouth, and began to stage the scene.

He then brought over a basin of coal, intending to disguise it as a charcoal-burning suicide.

But just at this moment, the three members of the monitoring team had already snuck onto the yacht and, seeing this scene, immediately got into a brawl with the other party.

In the end, Liang Junyi used a stun gun to take the killer down directly.

After dealing with the killer, Liang Junyi glanced at the scattered pill bottles on the table and said to the other two, "He was force-fed drugs; find a way to make him throw them up!"

Liang Junyi then grabbed an ice bucket, preparing to go get some water.

However, just as he found the restroom and prepared to pull off his mask to wash his face, he suddenly saw from the mirror that there was still someone in the bathroom, and it was that female Secretary from beside Luo Yaoming.

With no other choice, Liang Junyi could only use a stun gun to shock the woman unconscious as well.

The exclamation the woman let out drew the other two people over.

Seeing the woman collapsed in the bathroom, Liang Junyi said helplessly, "She saw my face!"

"What do we do now?" Yang Zhen said, somewhat panicked.

Liang Junyi had been a Police officer for many years after all, and was much calmer than them: "We can only take everyone back!"

After saying this, he helplessly tied up the woman as well, preparing to take her away along with Luo Yaoming.

But when they returned to the deck, they discovered that a man was actually sitting beside the unconscious Luo Yaoming.

And behind him stood several burly men dressed in black.

The trio was startled, and they wanted to abandon Luo Yaoming's Secretary and flee.

But the other party had no intention of making a move against them, instead saying with a calm expression, "Shall we chat, officers?"

Liang Junyi looked at the other party with a vigilant expression and said, "Who are you?"

Before the other party could speak, Lin Yixiang suddenly said, "Wait, you are... Sima Xiang!"

Lin Yixiang often followed financial matters, so he recognized Sima Xiang at a glance.

"Who is Sima Xiang?" Yang Zhen looked at Lin Yixiang, puzzled, not understanding why he was so agitated.

Lin Yixiang glanced at Sima Xiang and then explained, "The boss of the Landlord Association, a gold-medal broker!"

"A gold-medal broker?" Hearing Lin Yixiang's words, both of them were shocked, not understanding why such a big shot would get involved in this matter.

Sima Xiang smiled slightly: "I didn't expect I still had some fame; I don't even need to introduce myself! But I must correct you on one point: the Landlord Association has no boss."

"Shall we sit down and chat? I have no ill intentions!"

The several burly men behind Sima Xiang looked extremely difficult to deal with; they were simply not people the three of them could handle.

Moreover, the other party had also seen the faces of the three of them, so trying to escape was simply impossible.

So they simply sat down directly, wanting to hear what Sima Xiang had to say.

Sima Xiang smiled and said to the three of them: "I know that some of you bought shares in Fenghua International and are currently trapped, right? The reason you came to save Luo Yaoming is to prevent him from being killed by the Boss behind the scenes?"

Yang Zhen looked horrified; he thought only the three of them knew about this, and he didn't expect Sima Xiang to state the whole story in one breath.

Liang Junyi asked directly, "How do you know that?"

Sima Xiang spread his hands and said, "Because I was the one who was supposed to come and save Luo Yaoming! Our goals are the same."

"Then why didn't you let us just take Luo Yaoming away?" Liang Junyi said vigilantly.

Sima Xiang shook his head and said, "Originally, I didn't plan to show myself, but you were too careless in your actions—you were actually seen by someone! If I didn't intervene, do you know what the consequences would be for you?"

"At worst we just run away, what consequences could there be?" Liang Junyi tried to take control of the conversation, saying with an indifferent expression.

Sima Xiang sneered: "It seems you don't know what kind of person you are opposing!"

"If you know, then why don't you tell us!" Liang Junyi said deliberately.

Sima Xiang shook his head and said, "Liang sir, there's no need for such little tricks; I was going to tell you about this matter anyway!"

"The reason Luo Yaoming ended up in such a state is because this guy wanted to betray the Boss behind him! His Boss is named Ma Zhihua, a Singaporean who is very famous in the political and business circles of Hong Kong! But in private, he is the boss of a group that specializes in money laundering!"

"This guy is ruthless in his actions; Luo Yaoming was silenced for betraying him. Just think about what the outcome would be if he found out your identities?"

Hearing Sima Xiang's words, cold sweat seeped out on everyone's foreheads.

There was no need for Sima Xiang to say more; they could also imagine that the only thing waiting for them was being silenced.

Unless...

"Unless... you can bring yourselves to kill the witness!" Sima Xiang smiled faintly: "But as Police officers, can you bring yourselves to do that?" (End of chapter)
