These words truly stunned Yan Hung. The question posed by the Uniformed Branch made Yan Hung ponder, "We are soldiers, they are thieves, why should the police be afraid of gangsters? No matter how good they are at fighting, how could they possibly defeat the bullets in the hands of the police?"
What exactly are we afraid of?
Yan Hung felt he had vaguely grasped the answer, but something still seemed to be missing.
When he and his group arrived at Tong Sai Wharf under the cover of night, there were more than a hundred martial arts figures gathered near the wharf pier. Yan Hung asked the taxi to stop a little further away, and he personally opened the car door for Meng Wanqing to get out. Only then did he straighten up and look at the martial arts figures.
Upon seeing Yan Hung, the martial arts figures wielding various weapons in the distance erupted in a cacophony of voices:
"This guy killed two of the Kowloon's Eighteen Tigers? I'll take him on! You've got guts!"
"Sergeant Hung is in deep trouble this time. His own gang is killing each other; he'll definitely die a horrible death. Didn't you see that Master Tan Changshan Master Shan and Ngo Keng Ho have already arrived? They're ready to break the gang rules right here and now!"
"Sergeant Hung used to be as stern as a smiling Buddha, I wonder why he's gone mad this time."
"If Sergeant Hung hadn't died, he would definitely be a famous figure in the underworld."
"Undying? How could he possibly be undying? He dared to kill even Master Shan's men; if he were allowed to live, how could Master Shan save face!"
Yan Hung saw that among the Jianghu figures, Heizai Jie from the Kowloon's Eighteen Tigers, Scribe Tan, Shar Pei Dog, and others were all present with their men. Fuyixing's leader, Golden-Tooth Lei, had a shifty look in his eyes. Tan Changshan had a smile on his face. Yanjigui looked surprised. Ngo Keng Ho stood at the forefront of the crowd, exuding murderous intent.
These Jianghu people just blocked the trestle. If Yan Xiong wanted to protect Meng Wanqing on the sampan to the seafood boat, he would have to pass through these people first.
The other officers behind him looked somewhat panicked, their hands gripping their open holsters, ready to draw their guns at any moment. A Wai even said, "Why don't we go back to the station and lay low for a while, Brother Hung?"
Yan Hung stared at the martial arts figures opposite him, spat on the ground, ignored A Wai's words, and instead looked at Meng Wanqing, speaking without any attempt to conceal his intentions, "Miss Wanqing, I'll take you aboard the ship to see Secretary Song. These scoundrels, don't even think about touching you; if they dare to speak disrespectfully, I'll send them on their way. Please."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the group of martial arts practitioners who were blocking the pier more than 20 meters away. His words to Meng Wanqing had already entered their ears on the night wind. Yan Hung cursed him as a bastard. Heizai Jie, Scribe Tan, Shar Pei Dog and the others all changed their expressions, but they did not say anything.
On the contrary, Tan Changshan, dressed in a long robe, strode towards Yan Hung with a beaming smile, "A-Hung, you did well! That Rat Xiang, forced women into prostitution, violating gang rules and deserved severe punishment. Moreover, he offended Secretary Song, making him even more deserving of death. You rid the gang of such a black sheep, well done! I won't thank you enough. I've prepared a few shops, which I'll transfer to you in a couple of days. Please allow me to apologize to Miss Wanqing first."
He walked briskly, a forced smile on his face. After exchanging polite greetings with Yan Hung, his eyes were already fixed on Meng Wanqing behind Yan Hung. Before he could even pass Yan Hung and face Meng Wanqing directly, he bowed deeply, his tone impeccably respectful and warm. "Miss Wanqing, I'm so sorry! It's my fault for not disciplining my subordinates properly, and I was blind to your abilities, not knowing you were Secretary Song's person. I've prepared a small gift for you..."
"Bang!" As Tan Changshan walked up to him, intending to bypass him and apologize to Meng Wanqing, Yan Hung raised his hand and pressed it against Tan Changshan's temple, decisively pulling the trigger!
As soon as the gunshot rang out, Tan Changshan's body swayed to the side, startling Meng Wanqing so much that she took a step back and almost fell.
"Go down and apologize to those you killed for the Japan." Yan Hung had already decided to shoot when he saw Tan Changshan was there. Now that Tan Changshan was coming over to curry favor, he certainly wouldn't let this opportunity pass.
Tan Changshan was Song Tianyao's enemy. Since he had already killed one of his fellow disciples, Rat Xiang, what difference would it make if he killed another fellow disciple, Tan Changshan?
When the men opposite, including Ngo Keng Ho Yanjigui, saw Yan Hung shoot and kill Tan Changshan, who had already learned of the news and had lowered himself to come overnight to curry favor with Meng Wanqing, their eyes turned red. They wanted to call their men to rush forward, Yan Hung had already turned his gun on them, shouting:
"I work for Justice of the Peace Chu Xiaoxin! Justice of the Peace are ordered to kill! Whoever comes forward, I will kill them!"
Most of the martial arts world was frightened by Yan Hung. Ngo Keng Ho, a confidant of Tan Changshan, led a dozen or so of his trusted men, refusing to believe the danger, and charged forward with their weapons. Yan Hung did not hesitate to retreat. When the ferocious-looking Ngo Keng Ho was within ten meters, Yan Xiong was about to pull the trigger at the man's chest.
But before he could pull the trigger, a gunshot rang out, and a bullet hole appeared in Ngo Keng Ho's chest. His body jolted, and he fell to the ground, swaying precariously!
The leader, Ngo Keng Ho, was shot down. Some of his dozen or so men behind him were so frightened that their legs gave way and they fell to the ground. The braver ones turned and moved to the side to avoid him.
Yan Hung turned his head and saw that the one who fired the shot was the Uniformed Branch in the same car as him, who was still gripping his pistol tightly with both hands, maintaining the firing posture.
"Give me the gun." Yan Hung walked over, took the gun from the Uniformed Branch's hand, and asked, "I fired it, it has nothing to do with you. What's your name?"
The Uniformed Branch stared blankly at Yan Hung: "My A Yue, Master Hung."
Taking the pistol from the other man, Yan Hung reached out to help the dazed Meng Wanqing, and continued walking towards the gangsters, saying, "Get out of the way, or not only will I not recognize you, but the gun in my hand won't recognize you either."
Seeing Yan Hung decisively kill Tan Changshan, Mangongshi, standing behind Golden-Tooth Lei, didn't have time to discuss it with Golden-Tooth Lei anymore. He directly shouted in a low voice, "Big Brother! Take out the Yanjigui, Shendasheng! Quick! We can't let Sergeant Hung steal all the credit!"
Startled awake by the noise, Golden-Tooth Lei snatched a knife from his henchman and turned to slash at the neck of the nearby Yanjigui!
Five or six of his henchmen rushed toward Shendasheng. While Shendasheng was still staring at Yan Hung, preparing to find an opportunity to avenge Tan Changshan, several short knives and daggers had already pierced his body!
