East of Sai Kung on Hong Kong Island, a salvage vessel was operating in G7 Waters.
Its target was, naturally, the four-ton shipment of methamphetamine the Ice Queen had hidden, worth US$250 million.
On the surface, it was an ordinary Marine Police salvage vessel.
But apart from the professional salvage workers and crew handling the vessel, none of those aboard were ordinary.
Of the West Kowloon Anti-Triad Unit, Zhou Quan had brought only his top subordinate.
At that moment, Chow Sing Sing wore the full set of tactical equipment used by the Flying Tigers on operations. Calling him armed to the teeth would have been no exaggeration.
He Wenzhan and Ling Jing stood beside him, equally fully armed.
Even Zhou Quan himself had abandoned his usual uniform or suit in favor of tactical gear.
The others were the two action teams under He Wenzhan and Ling Jing, standing ready for battle.
Kong Chi Lap had given him his full support, and Zhou Quan had not stood on ceremony.
Every Flying Tigers assault officer aboard the salvage vessel carried an assault rifle.
Each rifle also had an underslung grenade launcher for heavy fire support.
They had not brought a single one of their standard-issue MP5 submachine guns.
The snipers' equipment remained unchanged. Six sniper rifles were concealed around the cabin, constantly guarding against any sudden developments at sea.
In addition, two anti-materiel sniper rifles had been placed on the salvage vessel's upper deck.
These had been prepared specifically for Zhou Quan and Ling Jing, in case anyone with hostile intentions launched a surprise rocket attack from a distance.
As for the boat team and combat diver team Zhou Quan had specially brought in, both were concealed in hidden positions, awaiting his orders.
"Sir, we found it!"
