Chapter 226 Thunder Dragon
After this failed assassination attempt, MI5 finally realized that their previous, small-scale tactics were incapable of posing a lethal threat to Wah Di. To completely eliminate Wah Di, they had to proceed with their original plan: have Wei Luoren lure Wah Di to the warlord's lair. That way, even if the drug lord couldn't kill Wah Di directly, they could still utilize the American military's airstrikes to eliminate him.
MI5 decided not to act rashly, but to wait for an opportunity. Meanwhile, Wei Luoren successfully returned to Hong Kong with Lei Long's daughter. Meanwhile, Hua Di also returned safely to Hong Kong.
When Hua Di got off the plane, he saw Li Wenbin and Jiang Dawei waiting for him at the airport. These two people were Hua Di's most senior supporters in the police force. They warmly welcomed Hua Di's return and immediately took Hua Di back to the police station office.
"Don't you know the danger involved? You went to the Lotus Kingdom so rashly. Don't you know that MI5 has always wanted to kill you? You even cooperated with the Political Department! Can you please stop making me worry about you? I almost asked Cheney's mother directly that day, but you agreed to him without hesitation and even followed him to the Lotus Kingdom! Do you know how many people will suffer if you meet with an accident? Don't you think we are not busy enough?" Li Wenbin sat down and said a lot of things like a machine gun.
Li Wenbin was right. If anything happened to Huadi, regardless of what the respected veterans like Guo Yingnan and He Xin would do, young talents like Long Jiajun would absolutely stop at nothing to avenge Huadi. Not to mention the Twelve Young Masters, the Hong Kong underworld's overlord, and superb assassins like Li Changjiang. By then, the entire Hong Kong region would likely be plunged into chaos.
What Li Wenbin didn't know was that the Chinese mainland would also intervene. They couldn't just stand by and watch Huadi get into danger. However, the mainland's high-ranking officials knew Huadi's skills, so they didn't pay too much attention and didn't send any imperial guards to protect him. Because Huadi was already a top-notch expert, sending imperial guards wasn't about protecting Huadi, but about Huadi protecting them.
Although Huadi's words were brief, they were full of firmness and determination. He did not hesitate to express his respect for Wei Luoren's brotherhood and his importance to Li Wenbin and Jiang Dawei's life-and-death friendship.
Huadi's character determined that he would not sit idly by and watch his brothers fall into danger. His actions proved his commitment, not only making Li Wenbin and Jiang Dawei feel his sincerity, but also making them understand his decision.
Faced with Huadi's insistence, Li Wenbin and Jiang Dawei finally chose to compromise. They no longer insisted on their own opinions, but turned to care about Huadi's safety, and secretly asked their subordinates to pay close attention to Wei Luoren's situation so that they could provide assistance when necessary.
Wei Luoren was completely unaware of all this. He had never expected Hua Di to handle his case so decisively. When he returned to Hong Kong the next day, Lei Long was arrested, which shocked and surprised him.
What surprised Wei Luoren even more was the sheer number and severity of the charges against Lei Long. From criminal offenses like drug and arms trafficking to economic crimes like money laundering, Lei Long was accused of more than a dozen counts, each with ample human and physical evidence to support it.
Under such circumstances, Lei Long himself could not see any hope of a comeback. However, the only good news for Lei Long was that his daughter had found someone who loved her and who seemed quite reliable.
Wei Luoren couldn't believe his ears. He stared at Hua Di with wide eyes, full of suspicion, thinking to himself, "How is this possible? I've tried so hard to find evidence of Lei Long's crime, but Hua Di managed to do it so easily?"
However, just when everyone was convinced of Lei Long's confession and punishment, a shocking news came - Lei Long, who should have been under strict guard, actually walked out of the detention center in a swagger!
It was obvious there was something fishy going on. Wei Luoren gnashed his teeth in anger, realizing immediately that the Special Branch was behind this. Those corrupt police officers, who endangered Hong Kong's security, had colluded with those profit-seeking lawyers to persecute Hua Di, forcing Lei Long, who had irrefutable evidence, out on bail.
Wei Luoren's anger burned fiercely in his heart. He couldn't accept this fact. In his rage, he raised his fist and smashed it hard against the mirror in front of him. With a loud "crash", the mirror shattered instantly, and the fragments flew everywhere.
