Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 546

[Chapter 543: Gathering of Heroes]

Zhou Xingxing hesitated for a moment and did not ask David to call for help.

This time he went undercover in Edinburgh Middle School pretending to be a student, mainly to find the boss’s gun.

It is not a trivial matter for a police officer to lose his gun, not to mention that the one who lost the gun is a chief superintendent, so the whole investigation is conducted in secret, and it is best not to make it public if possible.

“In this case, let’s do as you said: you go and negotiate with the people from Dongxing to attract their attention. If you can directly exchange your partner back, it would be the best.”

David hid in the dark and acted according to the situation: if there is a chance to save people, he will save them directly; if the situation on Zhou Xingxing’s side is not good, he can choose to leave and ask for help, or create some chaos to create a chance for Zhou Xingxing to escape.

“That’s it!”

After a few words to make a plan, David got out of the car before arriving at the negotiation site and quietly moved to the negotiation site.

When he found the place, Zhou Xingxing was confronting a group of people.

Crows are easy to recognize, and David easily found this one of the Five Tigers of Dongxing in the crowd.

At this time, Brother Crow was holding Zhou Xingxing’s partner Cao Dahua hostage with a pistol, and was negotiating with Zhou Xingxing who was more than ten meters away.

Judging from their appearance, the talks were not going well.

David hid in the bushes to watch the fun, and saw Zhou Xingxing open the cargo box of the truck and showed the arms in it: “I have brought the things, let the people go!”

“Boy, you said to let people go, who do you think you are?” Crow did not mean to let go, and the muzzle of the gun was always against Cao Dahua’s head: “You dare to rob my things, you are so bold.”

“Then what do you want?”

“What?” Crow sneered, as if the other party asked a very stupid question: “Do you need to ask this? You robbed my things, and you know so many things you shouldn’t know. I have to send you and your son on the road together!”

As he spoke, Crow turned the muzzle of the gun and aimed it at Zhou Xingxing not far away, ready to kill this kid first.

At this moment, a gunshot suddenly sounded next to him, and a bullet accurately hit Crow’s head.

Red and white things were scattered all over the ground, and the incident happened too suddenly. No one on the scene could react to what happened. It was not until several seconds after Crow fell to the ground that everyone realized what happened.

Zhou Xingxing reacted quickly. He realized that it was David who shot.

Although he didn’t expect David to have a gun on him, he didn’t care about this little thing at the moment. He immediately rushed over and grabbed his partner Cao Dahua and prepared to escape.

“Brother Crow is dead, don’t let these two bastards get away…”

Bang!

Another gunshot rang out, and the guy who shouted the most fiercely also followed his big brother.

Two people were shot dead in succession. The group of Dongxing people immediately fell into a state of chaos. Everyone was looking for cover, hiding behind the car and carefully looking around, as if trying to find the person who shot the cold gun.

“Damn! What’s the point of hiding and shooting the cold gun in secret…”

Bang!

Another one fell down. This time there was no one to curse on the street. A group of young and dangerous people trembled and huddled together. They had lost their usual arrogance and domineering. They looked like quails huddling together for warmth.

“Wow, so accurate, Ah Xing, did you call the Flying Tigers for support?”

“I’m an undercover agent now, what’s the use of calling the Flying Tigers? I found a friend to help me.”

“Is your friend a sharpshooter from the Flying Tigers?”

“Why are there so many problems? Why don’t you run now?”

“No, I think there’s no need for us to run.”

Zhou Xingxing looked in the direction Cao Dahua pointed. The group of people from Dongxing didn’t dare to show their heads at all, and then several grenades were thrown over the next second.

“…”

Boom!

A series of explosions sounded, not only with amazing momentum, but also with extraordinary power. Most of the quails who huddled together for warmth were killed, and the few who were not killed on the spot were also seriously injured.

Under normal circumstances, they could come up and clean up the battlefield at this time.

As a result, in the desperate eyes of these young and dangerous guys, several more grenades flew in front of them.

Boom!

The world was completely quiet, and only Cao Dahua and Zhou Xingxing were left standing at the scene.

The members of Dongxing and several arms buyers who came to Hong Kong specifically were all killed.

David came out with a gun in hand, and when he came to Zhou Xingxing, he stuffed the AK in his hand into his hand: “Captain Zhou, you have cracked a major arms smuggling case, you will definitely be promoted this time.”

“…”

Zhou Xingxing was still a little confused, and it took him a few seconds to realize that David was putting all the good things he had done on his head.

What is this? Is he passing the buck?

Although cracking a major arms case is a great achievement, killing so many people and leaving traces of grenade explosions, wouldn’t it make him look too cruel?

The internal review alone would be enough for him to bear.

However, in general, the benefits are still huge. Zhou Xingxing thought that his undercover work was successfully completed, and he also solved such a big arms smuggling case. He could also use the name of investigating arms smuggling to cover up the boss’s lost gun.

He thought that with the boss’s care, the review would just be a formality. It would be a waste if he didn’t take advantage of this achievement.

“What about me? Will I get any benefit?”

“Don’t worry, such a great contribution must be yours.” Zhou Xingxing figured out the key and patted his partner on the shoulder: “You don’t have to be an undercover anymore.” After

laughing foolishly for a while, Zhou Xingxing thanked David again: “Thank you very much, you are so generous and I don’t know how to repay you.”

“Don’t be so polite, just remember to pay the bill.” David didn’t deliberately blackmail Zhou Xingxing: “The rifle and bullets are extra gifts, just give a few tens of thousands of yuan for tea and runway expenses.”

“…” Zhou Xingxing was immediately overwhelmed when he heard the price: “Is it okay to pay in installments?”

“Of course!”

I don’t know if Zhou Xingxing can learn the old con man’s quick success method to make millions in the future. If he can’t learn it, he doesn’t seem to be very rich.

“I’ll go back first, and contact me if there’s anything.”

The series of subsequent finishing work that follows have nothing to do with him, but the plot has developed to this point. Does it mean that Zhou Xingxing and He Min have become a couple?

Walk a distance away and make sure that if you want to take a taxi back to the office, you have to walk at least a long way.

After David made sure that there was no one around, he immediately went into stealth mode, and then flew back directly into the sky.

He found a corner near the office building where no one noticed him, and then walked back to the company. It was only a little over two hours since he left.

In addition, David used a cleaning trick before going upstairs, and the smell of dirt and gunpowder on his body disappeared. As long as Zhou Xingxing and Cao Dahua reconciled their testimonies, no one would know that he had just gone to a gunfight, wiped out a large group of Dongxing people, and killed one of the Five Tigers, Crow Chen Tianxiong.

I don’t know what impact this will have? Is it taking this opportunity to strike a blow to the society? Or is it a warning and stop there?

He just thought about it casually, and Zhou Xingxing ran over in the afternoon and told David about the subsequent series of events.

Sure enough, all the credit was attributed to Zhou Xingxing. Originally, he was undercover to help the boss find a gun, but he was confused and became the police high-level who sent the Flying Tigers elite undercover in Edinburgh Middle School and followed the clues to find this arms smuggling case.

A large amount of arms and funds were seized by the police. As for the group of gangsters from the East Star Society who died at the scene, the police decided to carry out a round of anti-gang operations against various societies.

However, these things have nothing to do with Zhou Xingxing and David. Zhou Xingxing will undergo a series of inspections next. Although it is a formality, it will also take some time. After the inspection is over, his rank will definitely be raised.

“This time it is not a superintendent but a chief inspector.”

The last time I saw Zhou Xingxing, he was still pretending to be a student, and Cheng Le’er didn’t pay much attention to this person. Only then did I know that Zhou Xingxing was actually an undercover police officer who had just cracked a major case and was about to be promoted.

After pouring water for David and Zhou Xingxing, Cheng Le’er also congratulated Zhou Xingxing by the way.

Zhou Xingxing, who was always smiling, felt like he had made great progress in the past 30 years and was very proud of himself – he sat in the corner like a lackey and no one cared about him, but now even the daughter of the Cheng family had to congratulate him.

This feeling is great~

“In that case, you will leave the Flying Tigers, right?” Zhou Xingxing’s rank was promoted, and the Flying Tigers had no suitable position to place him. If he was really promoted to superintendent, his position would at least be the division or department head.

“I don’t care. It’s just sitting in the office. It doesn’t matter where I sit.”

Zhou Xingxing felt that he had finally made it. In the future, he would no longer have to fight with others to death, holding a gun and fighting with others.

In the future, he only needs to sit in the office, drink tea, read newspapers and scold his subordinates, just like David is now! But the one sitting on his lap is He Min.

I feel that my life is about to reach its peak!

If it weren’t for the inappropriate place and his personal image, Zhou Xingxing would have laughed wildly at this time.

“What’s wrong with him?” Cheng Le’er looked at Zhou Xingxing opposite and suddenly laughed foolishly. I don’t know what disease this man has?

“Maybe he dreamed that his wife gave birth to a child.”

After talking about business for a while and paying the first payment, Zhou Xingxing remembered that he came to David specifically for another matter.

“You want to ask about the rent of Tianxiahui? Are you planning to move?”

“Yes, I want to live closer to Amin.” Zhou Xingxing felt that if he and He Min lived closer, their relationship would not be in trouble, especially when there was a guy like David living next door.

But after hearing about the rent of Tianxiahui, Zhou Xingxing immediately broke out in sweat: “Do you think it’s okay for me to rent a room alone?”

“Then why don’t you just move to He Min’s apartment.”

“I do want to!” However, He Min disagreed. Zhou Xingxing thought about it and decided to spend money on his wife and ask Ada to rent with him to share part of the rent.
