In the cafeteria;
The commotion quickly subsided.
Qiu Gang Ao left with his men.
Zhang Chong Bang quickly calmed down a few friends who were indignant on his behalf, then squatted down and started to clean up the mess.
"What's the situation?"
Ye Tian Ming asked Gu Ze Chen, who seemed to know something.
"You must have heard about the case of the kidnapped tycoon a few days ago, right?"
Gu Ze Chen said, "Those guys just now were the ones in charge of that case. They messed it up and killed a kidnapper."
"What about the other one?"
Ye Tian Ming asked.
"His name is Zhang Chong Bang. He's the Chief Inspector of the Serious Crimes Unit, and also the supervisor of those guys. He was involved in that case, but he didn't directly participate. However, he was an eyewitness and saw them kill a kidnapper."
Gu Ze Chen sighed as he spoke, "Those guys are angry because Zhang Chong Bang didn't testify for them in court. Actually, it's hard to say who's right or wrong in this situation. However, I heard that when it happened, higher-ups directly ordered Qiu Gang Ao and the others to find out where the tycoon was being held."
"By any means necessary?"
Ye Tian Ming asked.
Gu Ze Chen nodded.
Ye Tian Ming understood.
This was a case of taking the fall for the higher-ups!
But;
Zhang Chong Bang and Qiu Gang Ao?
These names sound familiar!
Ye Tian Ming carefully recalled, and finally remembered.
Weren't they the two main characters in "Line of Duty"?
One righteous, one evil. In the end, justice triumphs over evil.
However;
Qiu Gang Ao wasn't truly evil.
He was just an unlucky man who took the fall for the higher-ups.
And he had a pig teammate!
Ye Tian Ming remembered that Qiu Gang Ao had a subordinate nicknamed "Gong Zi," who was a complete pig teammate.
It was he who caused them to kill someone.
After being released from prison, he continued to hold them back!
It's best to get rid of this kind of pig teammate early.
But... they said it's a pig teammate, so if you really get rid of them, they might turn around and sell Qiu Gang Ao out.
Therefore;
It's actually better to just eliminate them directly.
But this doesn't concern Ye Tian Ming.
Qiu Gang Ao and his men will likely be in prison soon.
The next part of the plot will be years later!
...
The commotion in the cafeteria at noon quickly spread throughout the entire West Kowloon headquarters.
Everyone heard about it and knew the grievances between the two parties.
But most people sided with Zhang Chong Bang.
As the saying goes, "If it doesn't affect you, stay out of it."
It wasn't them who killed someone.
Of course they could stand on the moral high ground and condemn Qiu Gang Ao and his gang.
And Zhang Chong Bang, as a Chief Inspector, upheld the law and was unwilling to testify for his colleagues. He also received support from many people.
Of course!
Not everyone supported Zhang Chong Bang.
There were also some people who felt that Zhang Chong Bang was too heartless. He wouldn't even help his own subordinates. He watched them die.
He's simply cold-blooded!
These people were mostly emotional. In life, they put feelings first. For their close family and friends, they could make some principled mistakes.
Ye Tian Ming and the rest of the Forensic Department were also discussing this matter today.
Until a body was sent in around 2 pm.
It interrupted their further discussion.
5 pm.
Ye Tian Ming punched out on time.
He declined Gu Ze Chen's invitation and took his things downstairs.
When he got to the parking lot, he happened to meet Liang Xiao Rou, who was also leaving work.
"Leaving so early today?"
Ye Tian Ming looked at her in surprise.
"There weren't any cases today, so I could leave on time."
Liang Xiao Rou smiled and looked at the red Ferrari parked there.
"Your car?"
Ye Tian Ming nodded.
"It's a little too flashy."
Liang Xiao Rou said, "But my brother would probably like it. He's always wanted a convertible sports car."
"Not bad. When are you going to buy it?"
Ye Tian Ming said.
"I don't plan on letting him buy it." Liang Xiao Rou said, "At his age, it's better to buy a regular sedan. It suits him better. Plus, sports cars only have two seats and aren't very convenient."
"Then buy another one, right? One sports car, one regular sedan, or an SUV would also be nice."
Ye Tian Ming said.
Liang Xiao Rou, "..."
Are you serious?
If our family had that kind of money, would we still be thinking about what kind of car to buy for so long?
Moreover;
Her brother Liang Xiao Gang just wanted to buy a used car.
He can't afford a new car!
"Ah Ming, do you know how annoying you are when you talk?"
Liang Xiao Rou looked at him seriously.
"Do I?"
Ye Tian Ming chuckled. Actually, he was just joking.
"Then you two should think about it carefully. As for what kind of car to buy, I think it mainly depends on what the person driving it likes."
"Of course, you also need to consider your financial situation. You can't buy something beyond your means. Otherwise, it's typical of those who are trying to save face but suffer financially."
Ye Tian Ming said as he opened the car door and got in.
"Alright, see you!"
"Okay, see ya!"
Liang Xiao Rou waved her hand. She watched Ye Tian Ming drive away before turning to get into her own black Mazda.
...
Gym locker room.
Ye Tian Ming came out of the shower, dried his hair with a hairdryer, and thought about where to eat.
At that moment, his phone in his bag rang.
Ye Tian Ming put down the hairdryer, turned around, and picked up his phone to take a look.
"Ah Ping?"
Ye Tian Ming saw the caller ID and immediately answered the call.
"Ah Ping, what's up?"
Ye Tian Ming asked.
"Ah Ming, are you free now?"
Ah Ping's voice on the other end of the phone had a hint of crying.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Ye Tian Ming furrowed his brows and quickly asked.
"I'm at the Purple Orchid bar right now. A few hoodlums just harassed me. I'm hiding in the bathroom and I'm afraid to go out."
"Ah Ming, can you come pick me up?"
Ah Ping pleaded.
"Okay, stay where you are and don't move. I'll be right there."
Ye Tian Ming finished speaking and hung up the phone. His hair was only half-dried, but he didn't bother with it anymore. He grabbed his bag and quickly walked out of the locker room.
"Ah Ming, are you free?"
As soon as he walked out of the locker room, Ye Tian Ming ran into his fitness trainer, Tan Jing Yao.
