Mountain Eagle said with a smile, "What I mean is, from the standpoint of the Los Angeles Government, it's okay for the Black police to die, but definitely not all exposed!

The Replacers must be investigated, but it can't be done publicly. Otherwise, once the results are exposed, the lawsuits from prisoners will overwhelm both the Los Angeles Government and the Police Department.

As the FBI is under the Ministry of Justice, you just need to get Kate to find a way to have the Ministry of Justice turn a blind eye, and then you can set up a highly empowered secret investigation team with Daniel.

Previously, you all were too passive. If the investigation team can be established, you'll be able to mobilize more resources."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle touched his chin and continued with a smile, "Buddy, the Replacers are just a starting point, which could not only help the Los Angeles Police Department complete their anti-corruption efforts but also temporarily generate immense power."

Upon hearing this, Rosa looked at Mountain Eagle in shock...

He understood!

Mountain Eagle was inciting him, using his FBI status along with the considerations from Los Angeles, to politically blackmail those high-ranking politicians...

Once this secret investigation team unaffected by external influences is established, the Replacers, with their terroristic traits and exceptional talent in infiltrating law enforcement, would bring massive power to the investigation team.

Because every corrupt officer taken down would lead to many cases being implicated, whether it's re-investigating or dealing with potential wrongful lawsuits from prisoners, it would drain immense manpower and resources.

To solve this issue, one must think outside the box!

The best solution would be an investigation team under the FBI that remains unrecorded!

Secret investigations and non-public trials would avoid most troubles, providing politicians with room to cover their tracks.

In this situation, the investigation team would be like having a royal sword, able to mobilize law enforcement and investigative resources without notifying other departments, bypassing complex legal provisions and streamlining enforcement processes, or even taking action first and reporting later.

Once the investigation team has these powers, the next steps become broader in scope!

I can target a gang because I think they might be connected to the Replacers, sound reasonable?

If I find the Titan Group connected to the Replacers, it's then reasonable for me to invite their CEO for tea in my office, right?

The Replacers are just an excuse; through wielding this power, not only can it secure accolades for them but also clear a safe path for Mountain Eagle.

If this investigation team isn't just limited to the Los Angeles Replacers but extends nationwide, then as long as Rosa and Daniel have a bit of political savvy, even if they can't lead the team, they surely have promising futures.

Watching Rosa immersed in brief confusion, Mountain Eagle, smiling, said, "You could consider it, I suggest you discuss it with Kate, she should be able to offer a reasonable suggestion."

After hearing this, Rosa's gaze sharpened as he stared at Mountain Eagle and said in a deep voice, "What are you trying to do?"

"What can I do?"

Mountain Eagle spread his hands and said, "Don't mention that this investigation team doesn't yet exist, even if it really does, I'm not the one who will be in charge.

What do you think I can do?"

Rosa shook his head and said, "No, nothing is without reason!"

Mountain Eagle frowned at the stubborn Rosa and said impatiently, "I'm just overflowing with justice, wanting to wipe out every last one of those bastards of the Replacers, is that okay?"

Saying this, Mountain Eagle looked at Rosa's skeptical face, shook his head with a scoff, and said, "You don't believe the truth!

Then, when you actually get power, can you help me take down a few bad guys? Is that okay?"

After listening, Rosa slightly nodded and said, "Only those we previously agreed upon in our deal..."

Seeing Rosa's stubborn demeanor, Mountain Eagle couldn't help but shake his head and said, "You better discuss it with Kate first; you look pretty foolish right now...

Our cooperation has to continue, after all, without me, you wouldn't even be able to touch a hair of the Replacers!"

Then, Mountain Eagle glanced at the battered A8, looked displeasedly at his watch, and said, "It's almost dinner time, can you get me a car?

I really don't want to hang around you guys for too long, as I worry I might start swearing!"

Rosa glanced at Tiffany beside him, his expression gloomy as he said, "Wait a bit, Daniel will be here soon..."

Mountain Eagle didn't continue to argue with Rosa, he walked around the A8 and asked Daria, "How much does an A8 sell for in the United States?"

Daria replied with a smile, "This is the top version of the A8, currently selling for $99,000 here.

The car is insured, but I'm not sure if the insurance company will compensate us under these circumstances?"

Mountain Eagle shook his head with a rueful smile, "Based on what I know about insurance companies, they definitely won't compensate in such situations.

We'll have to find a way with Daniel, since I was cooperating with their operation..."

Saying this, Mountain Eagle rubbed his chin and said, "We need a bullet-proof vehicle with higher safety, given that our adversaries are starting to change.

The two snipers and their guns earlier were quite formidable; I think a bullet-proof vehicle is very important."

Daria shook her head and said, "Unless we get a military-grade Hummer, ordinary bullet-proof vehicles basically don't offer protection against .338 Magnum armor-piercing bullets.

But the ride experience in a military-grade Hummer is extremely poor..."

Unhappily, Mountain Eagle shook his head and said, "I don't like it…"

As the two spoke, several police cars with sirens blaring pulled up onto the emergency lane, coming to a stop closest to them.

Police officers alighted from the vehicles, some began setting up barricades while others started managing the heavily congested highway.

Just when Mountain Eagle thought he could use a police car to escape, a somewhat oddly-shaped black pickup truck tore down the road, kicking up dust, and came to a halt in front of Mountain Eagle and the others.

Watching an annoyed Daniel exiting the pickup, Mountain Eagle furrowed his brows and released his finger from the trigger, then irritably said, "Could you not give a damn heads-up? I almost took you out!"

It seemed like Daniel didn't hear Mountain Eagle; he squeezed out a smile, leaned towards Rosa, and whispered a few words...

Rosa paused in astonishment, then incredulously exclaimed, "What? Escaped? How is that possible?

There's a helicopter above and HRT personnel chasing them, do those people have wings?"

Daniel glanced at Mountain Eagle who was flipping him off, sighed, and said, "Those folks were prepared in advance. They drove into a tunnel, left their car, and escaped via an underground passage.

The HRT's armored vehicle was too slow by a few minutes, and searching for clues at the scene delayed them by over ten minutes. By the time they entered the sewers, those people were already gone."

Daniel, looking at Mountain Eagle's disdainful expression, helplessly spread his hands and said, "Sir, I did my best; we were just giving it a try...

Our preparation wasn't enough, and who could anticipate that our opponents would be so professional and cunning?"

"I don't care much, and as long as that captive is still alive, and the evidence in those warehouses still exists, the Replacer won't rest easy.

Oh, you should remind the forensic team to be careful, those black police might do some outrageous things to destroy the evidence," Mountain Eagle chuckled wryly.

Daniel nodded, sneaked closer to Mountain Eagle, and said in a low voice, "Sir, I don't trust the people in the police station anymore, so apart from the money, I took all the evidence with me..."

Daniel, pulling Mountain Eagle's arm, pointed towards the pickup he drove and said with a smile, "Look at this vehicle, the North American Beast Gurkha LAPV...

Built on the chassis of a Ford F550, with a 6.7-liter capacity, V10 diesel engine, 350 horsepower, and a level 4 bulletproof armor that can withstand an Armor-piercing bullet below 7.62mm.

I had someone open all the warehouses next to the money vault, and this vehicle was parked next to the Replacer's money vault. The registration papers and the photo on the driver's license show that this vehicle belongs to the guy you caught.

Now, it's temporarily yours to use..."

Startled, Mountain Eagle circled the pickup...

He recognized this vehicle; in the Fast and Furious movies, Dwayne Johnson drove this model.

Similar to the Gurkha LAPV in the movie, which was a fully enclosed multi-functional armored vehicle that can fit eight people, this one had a truck bed at the back and can only seat four people in an armored, fast patrol vehicle.

Mountain Eagle curiously pulled open the heavy door to take a peek inside and noticed that the vehicle's interior was very spacious and clearly had been refurbished...

The dashboard used walnut and genuine leather finishes without any flashy large screens, just a CD player and a row of simple command buttons.

Unable to resist, Mountain Eagle got in, pressed down on the accelerator, and heard the V10 engine roar like a wild beast.

He rolled down the window to examine the nearly 8 cm thick bulletproof glass, nodded in satisfaction, then stepped out, went to the truck bed, lifted the heavy cover, looked at a large evidence box sealed with tape and said to Daniel, "I'll take the car, you take these things away..."

Hearing this, Daniel grabbed Mountain Eagle's arm, saying, "No, take these things with you.

Otherwise, I worry they might disappear if they make it to the evidence room!"

Mountain Eagle chuckled, "Is it safe with me?

Don't you know I'm being chased?"

After hearing this, Daniel spoke in a hushed tone, "I left an empty box filled with rocks for the forensic team...

No one noticed when I switched the contents, so unless someone disturbs that empty box, no one would think I placed such crucial things here."

Looking at Mountain Eagle's furrowed brows, Daniel pleaded with a pained expression, "Sir, helping us is helping yourself, right?"

Mountain Eagle looked at Daniel's cunning eyes, shook his head, and said, "You're setting a series of traps, using Rosa and the captive as bait, then using those evidence pieces as bait...

You've got guts, definitely much more than our Agent Rosa!"

Mountain Eagle then waved to Daria and Tiffany and said, "Hurry up and thank Officer Daniel, we've got a new ride..."

Daria circled the Gurkha LAPV, voluntarily sat in the driver's seat, and said with a smile, "Driving this into town, will the cops give us any trouble?"

Mountain Eagle sat in the back seat, closed the door forcefully, and said with a laugh, "I guess the cops in Los Angeles are all smart people..."

......

As Mountain Eagle was heading to Santa Monica, the previously injured sniper received assistance from his companion...

The injured Javier saw his partner Roland open the car door, his complexion pale as he crawled into the passenger seat, then tightly fastened the tourniquet on his thigh and weakly said, "I need to find a place to rest...

Roland, something feels off, our target is with the FBI people."

Roland checked Javier's wounds then started the vehicle and hit the road...

"Titan Group has arranged a hospital for you; I'll take you there first, then I have to rush to Santa Monica Beach."

Javier, looking at Roland's distressed face, said weakly, "You were nearly killed earlier; be careful this time...

It's your daughter's birthday next month, I don't want my goddaughter to lose her father."
