Chapter 262

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu waved his hand: "Go quickly, go get your recording and prove your innocence."

Ling Jing bowed: "Thank you, Brother Zu!"

Carrying the crystal, he quickly headed toward Five Star Film Company.

"Brother Zu~"

Gao Qiu watched Ling Jing's departing back and said softly: "I feel like you were just pua-ing him~~"

Slap~~

He was slapped on the back of the head by Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.

"Pua your head! Am I that kind of person? Hurry up and get lost to sleep; don't you have to work tomorrow!"

Gao Qiu covered his head and fled in a sorry state.

One hour later,

23:30,

At the home of Flying Tigers Commander Zhang Sir.

Ling Jing delivered the new videotape copied from Five Star Film Company to Zhang Sir.

The VCR was turned on, and the tape played.

This copy was a professional one, specifically zoomed in on Ye Tao's hands and head.

Ye Tao's action of pulling the firing pin could be seen very clearly.

Pause!

When Zhang Sir saw this shot, the safety pin had already been pulled out halfway; it was very obvious.

A flash of anger crossed his face.

He hadn't expected Fang Keming to actually lie!

If not for this recording, it would have been Ling Jing's poor marksmanship and wrong timing that caused the hostage's death.

But with this recording, it could fully prove that Ling Jing's shot was correct, complying with the police and Flying Tigers' rules of engagement during emergency periods, while also proving the Flying Tigers were not at fault.

Of course, Ling Jing had killed someone, so there would definitely be punishment.

But what made Zhang Sir angry was that this idiot Fang Keming had committed perjury. Even if he wanted to drag Ling Jing down, he clearly didn't need to do anything, so why do such a stupid thing?

Stupid!!

Zhang Sir said: "At tomorrow's meeting, I will explain the situation to everyone. Although you can escape this disaster, you did kill someone after all, and the impact is bad, so the team leader position you just obtained might be gone, and you might even be demoted or transferred out of the Flying Tigers to a police district or the Police Headquarters."

Ling Jing: "I will listen to the leadership in everything."

Being able to end up like this was already not bad; he didn't dare to hope for too much.

A new day,

The sunlight was still shrouded by the dark clouds in the sky.

Fang Keming got up early, made breakfast for his wife and daughter, finished eating himself, and then went downstairs to get his car.

"Newspapers for sale, newspapers for sale..."

"Big news, Tycoon Huo's son was killed by a Flying Tigers sniper!"

Fang Keming's footsteps paused; he turned back and went to the newsstand.

He glanced at them.

"Central and Western District Bank Robbed, Flying Tigers Operation Accidentally Kills Young Master" — Ming Pao

"Huo's Bank Robbery Breaks Out, Young Master Becomes Unfortunate Victim" — Oriental Daily News

"Flying Tigers Rescue Operation Fails, Bank Young Master Loses His Life" — Sing Pao

"Huo's Bank Robbed, Young Master Killed During Rescue Operation" — Sing Tao Daily

Sure enough, they were all front-page headlines.

Fang Keming felt a sense of guilt and relief; the complex emotions left his heart in chaos for a moment.

When he drove to the Flying Tigers base, it was already surrounded by many newspaper reporters.

The Huo's Bank young master being killed by the Flying Tigers was definitely earth-shattering news.

Fang Keming walked into the training base with a nervous heart.

Suddenly,

"Fang Keming!"

Fang Keming was startled. He turned his head and saw his superior, Zhang Sir, standing not far away, expressionless, calling him.

Fang Keming hurriedly saluted: "Sir!"

"Come over here, let's have a chat."

Fang Keming followed Zhang Sir to his office.

"Sir!"

"I want to ask you one more time, did you really see Ye Tao's hand clearly last night!"

"I saw it very clearly, Sir!"

Fang Keming chose to hold his ground.

Zhang Sir sneered: "Very good. I gave you a chance and you didn't take it, so let me show you a recording."

Fang Keming's face changed instantly.

Soon, Zhang Sir played the recording for him, and he saw the action of pulling the firing pin.

Fang Keming stood there stunned, his mind blank, his body swaying.

"In consideration of your many years of service, we don't have the heart to have you dismissed, but you definitely can't stay in the Flying Tigers anymore."

"I..."

Fang Keming wanted to say something, but he was too ashamed to know what to say.

He wasn't actually a bad person; he did these things because of jealousy.

In the original plot, Fang Keming taught the successor O Zai everything he knew and was very friendly, but once he encountered Ling Jing, he would lose his composure and curse at O Zai.

And in the end, when Fang Keming died, he showed a relieved smile, clearly regretting what he had done back then.

Subsequently, the Flying Tigers leadership held a meeting, and the Deputy Commissioner of Police for Operations also attended.

The final result of the meeting was reported to the Commissioner, who gave his approval.

In the end:

Fang Keming was transferred out of the Flying Tigers to the West Kowloon Regional Headquarters, demoted from Inspector to Sergeant, and became an officer in the Regional Crime Unit.

And Ling Jing, because he had made a mistake, was transferred out of the Flying Tigers to the Hong Kong Island Regional Headquarters' Regional Crime Unit, with his rank demoted from Senior Inspector to Station Sergeant.

10:00, the Flying Tigers held a press conference, and most of the media in Hong Kong came.

At the meeting, the Flying Tigers apologized on one hand and emphasized that Ling Jing's shooting complied with police regulations on the other.

His case was different from Yuan Haoyun's; Ling Jing was preventing casualties, and the young master's head just happened to tilt.

Whereas Yuan Haoyun actively provoked a gunfight; the nature was completely different.

Facing the press, the Flying Tigers had the Commissioner's backing, so their attitude was very firm: the Flying Tigers were not wrong!

Inside the sniper team,

The news quickly spread from the Flying Tigers.

In the locker room,

"Why! Why did you do this!"

Brother Shan angrily questioned Fang Keming: "You clearly saw it, why didn't you help prove Ling Jing's innocence?"

Other sniper team members also looked at him with angry eyes.

Everyone had trusted him, so they were cold toward Ling Jing, never expecting that it was Fang Keming who had committed perjury.

At this moment, Ling Jing walked in.

"Brother Jing, I'm sorry~"

"Brother Jing, we misunderstood you."

One by one, they apologized to Ling Jing.

Having experienced great ups and downs, Ling Jing had already let go and felt it didn't matter anymore. He smiled slightly: "It's okay."

Then he packed his things from his locker and left.

"I'm transferring to the Hong Kong Island Regional Headquarters, see you later!"

He walked away quickly.

Fang Keming felt very ashamed, but he still admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, I was jealous for a moment, which caused this situation... I don't have the face to stay here either."

After speaking, he also packed his things and left.

Not long after, the Flying Tigers issued a strict order that this matter must be kept confidential, as it would affect the Flying Tigers' reputation.

At noon, TVB and ATV midday news simultaneously broadcast the Flying Tigers' news.

"Regarding the bank robbery that occurred in the Central and Western District last night, an unexpected reversal occurred this morning."

"This morning, the Flying Tigers held a press conference, stating that during the hostage rescue process last night, the sniper fired because he discovered the bandit leader Ye Tao was pulling the firing pin of a grenade. If he hadn't fired to stop him, it would likely have led to even more tragic casualties."

"The truth of this case undoubtedly brings us more reflection and inspiration..."

Citizens across Hong Kong watching the news were all surprised.

"There was actually such a thing?"

"In that case, it seems this shot was necessary after all."

"Yes, looking at it this way, that bank young master was just too unlucky; he didn't faint earlier or later, but happened to faint at this moment..." "It's just a bit pitiful."

Mid-Levels villa.

"Bang~~~"

Huo Zhaotang angrily smashed a cup at the television, cracking the screen inch by inch.

"The Flying Tigers are completely fine, right!"

"And that Ling Jing, he killed my son, and a mere demotion cancels it out?"

"Doesn't that mean my son died for nothing?"

The most painful thing in the world is for parents to bury their children. Huo Zhaotang had painstakingly cultivated his son for over twenty years, preparing him to inherit the family business, only for him to be shot in the head and killed by a policeman.

And that policeman was completely fine!

"Son, I will definitely avenge you!"

!.

"If the law doesn't work!"

"I will use other means!"

Huo Zhaotang gritted his teeth.

"By the way, there's also that recording!"

If not for this recording interfering, he would have already sued this Ling Jing.

"Someone come here!"

"Boss." The secretary walked in.

"Investigate where the recording played on the television station came from," Huo Zhaotang said coldly.

"Okay, Boss." The secretary left.

Five Star Group building,

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's office,

At this time,

Ling Jing and Jing Ying were visiting Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu with fruit and tea to express their gratitude.

Their attitude was respectful, and their manners were impeccable.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was curious: "What is their punishment for you now?"

Ling Jing said: "Now my rank has been demoted, I've become a Station Sergeant, and I've been transferred to the Hong Kong Island Regional Crime Unit."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu nodded: "That's not bad."

Ling Jing: "It's all thanks to Brother Zu's help."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiled: "Since I helped you, you should help me with a favor too."

Ling Jing was serious: "Brother Zu, please speak. If I can do it, I will definitely do it well!"

He was a person who distinguished between gratitude and grudges. Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu saved him, so he naturally had to repay the kindness, even if it meant doing some 'illegal' things.

Going through fire and water was no joke!

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu chuckled: "The favor I want you to do for me is to change your cold temper. Looking at you eating with your colleagues the night before last, your attitude was too icy. In a team, others won't be convinced by you. Moreover, the relationships between officers within a police district station are even more complex than in your sniper team."

"With this cold attitude of yours, you're destined not to go far."

Ling Jing was moved.

He thought the favor Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu wanted him to do was some 'illegal' thing.

He didn't expect it to be this.

Ling Jing couldn't help but feel touched inside, feeling that Brother Zu was really thinking for him; he was too gentle.

"Okay, Brother Zu, I will definitely change!"

Ling Jing said solemnly.

Actually, he had already realized this point this time. When he was 'slandered' by Fang Keming, the sniper team members all believed Fang Keming, and no one trusted him.

"Alright, work hard!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu patted Ling Jing on the shoulder: "After going to the headquarters, remember to build good relationships with your friends..."

"By the way, one more thing: Huo Zhaotang had a son killed by you; he won't let you off just like that. I don't know what method he will use to deal with you, but you must be careful."

Ling Jing nodded gratefully: "Thank you for the reminder, Brother Zu."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiled: "You're welcome, we're all family!"

Family Hero!

Hearing this, Ling Jing was moved again.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu watched Ling Jing and Jing Ying leave, and the system's prompt had already sounded.

"You helped an excellent police officer and saved his tragic life!"

"You have received the following 3 rewards:"

"Reward 1: 'Anti-Sniper Awareness' - When you are being targeted by a sniper, you will have a special intuition and quickly dodge the bullet."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "............"

His first reaction was the MAGA Don King.

"Reward 2: Hong Kong Police Force support rate +1% (5%)!"

This is good stuff, but it's too hard to farm.

"Reward 3: Causeway Bay support rate +1%."

After receiving the rewards,

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was busy tidying up the office, and secretary Fang Ting said:

"Ah Ting, you come with me to dinner with Tycoon Zheng tonight."

"Ah? Me?"

Fang Ting pointed at herself, looking bewildered.

I'm just an ordinary secretary; I'm going to accompany you to meet a big shot from the Four Great Families?

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiled: "Because it's not a family banquet, it's more formal for me to bring a secretary. Besides, don't forget you have another identity: Fang Jinxin's daughter."

Here, I have to mention Tycoon Zheng's identity.

When Tycoon Zheng was 15 (1940), during the war, his father sent him to his old friend Mr. Zhou (who had already arranged a marriage with Mr. Zhou's daughter) in Macau to be an apprentice at the "Zhou Following Xiao Fu Jewelry Store."

In 1946, the 21-year-old Tycoon Zheng was sent by his father-in-law to open a branch in Hong Kong. Soon, the Hong Kong Zhou Following Xiao Fu surpassed the Macau headquarters, and Hong Kong became Zhou Following Xiao Fu's base, which also proved Tycoon Zheng's powerful ability.

After Mr. Zhou passed away, most of the shares were transferred to Tycoon Zheng.

Tycoon Zheng inherited Zhou Following Xiao Fu in 1956.

In 1967, the Hong Kong property market collapsed, but Tycoon Zheng went against the market and acquired a large amount of land in the following years. In 1968, he bought over 20 sites, laying the foundation for his future as a real estate tycoon.

Known as 'Shark-Guts Tong,' meaning his guts were bigger than a shark's.

Why mention Fang Ting and Fang Jinxin?

Because according to the information Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu possessed, the first stock exchange serving the Chinese was created by Fang Jinxin and Chen Wanxian in 1969, and companies like Cheung Kong (Boss Li), New World (Tycoon Zheng), and Sun Hung Kai (Tycoon Guo) were all listed through this first Chinese stock exchange.

In a sense, Fang Jinxin could be considered Tycoon Zheng's senior and guide.

So with Fang Ting as Fang Jinxin's daughter, combined with Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, Tycoon Zheng would definitely look at them differently.

Mentioning her father, Fang Ting couldn't help but have red eyes.

And then she hated Ding Xie even more.

"Okay!"

That's right, she was Fang Jinxin's daughter; she had to show that kind of spirit!

At this time,

Cheung Kong Group.

Boss Li looked at the information collected by his subordinates, his face showing joy, and then he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hahaha~~~"

"It really came without any effort!"

"Too good!"

"Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, oh Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, I didn't expect your subordinate Tan Meili to be an undercover agent!"

During this period, Boss Li was looking for a suitable undercover agent to infiltrate Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's company while investigating the dirt and weaknesses of Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's subordinates.

Among them, Tan Meili was naturally the most critical.

Because according to the information he obtained, Tan Meili was responsible for all affairs of Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's new supermarkets.

Isn't this a competitor?

So, he began to use various means to investigate Tan Meili's past.

Tan Meili had, after all, worked at the ICAC for two or three months, leaving behind quite a few traces. Although they were handled by the ICAC, Boss Li still found the suspicious points and then followed the clues to discover that Tan Meili was actually an undercover agent sent by the ICAC to Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's side.

This intelligence simply amused Boss Li!

What a big weakness!

Haha!

Tan Meili, oh Tan Meili, I've got your secret!

And Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, once I successfully blackmail and flip Tan Meili, you're dead!

Hahaha~~~

Jie jie jie~~~

"Someone come here!" Boss Li was already a bit impatient.

"Boss." His secretary walked in and was stunned to see Boss Li's smile; ever since Young Master Li was injured, Boss Li hadn't laughed like this for a long time.

It seems he encountered some happy event.

Boss Li said: "Help me check Tan Meili's recent whereabouts. I want to meet her secretly; don't alert anyone else. The faster, the better."

Secretary: "Okay, I'll go check right away."

The secretary naturally knew the investigation results about Tan Meili being an ICAC undercover agent, and he understood Boss Li's arrangement in a second.

Boss is 666!

This time, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu is definitely doomed!
