Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Early the next morning, Chen Jiajun still took a plane back to Hong Kong.

The situation in Taiwan has been stabilized for Haitang, and he can no longer stay in Taiwan frequently.

After all, Chen Jiajun's identity is quite sensitive, and he might cause trouble for Haitang in the future.

Back at the company, Chen Jiajun handled his work while inquiring about recent events in Hong Kong.

The environment in Hong Kong is deteriorating, and news about robberies is reported every day.

The most outrageous thing is a recent major event.

"Boss, you can open the news and take a look!" the subordinate said to Chen Jiajun with a smile.

Chen Jiajun turned on the TV in surprise and then switched to the news channel.

"Special news report: Earlier, while our reporter was covering a traffic accident in Tai Kok Tsui, we encountered a police chase and gunfight. More than a hundred shots were fired by both sides. In the end, the criminals repelled the police officers and stole an ambulance to escape from the scene!"

"Our station also captured footage of a patrol officer rushing to the scene kneeling down and begging for mercy when the criminals pointed a gun at him, which has generated a great public response."

Then, on the television screen, a large, obese police officer was seen kneeling on the ground with his hands raised.

This appearance was incredibly comical.

"Some Legislative Council members have questioned the police's ability to protect citizens!"

“I am shocked, I am truly shocked. Is Hong Kong still safe? If even the police can surrender, what are we citizens supposed to do? I want the Commissioner of Police to address this issue, and I will ask them to personally answer these questions in the Legislative Council!”

Upon seeing this, Chen Jiajun sneered, "How many of the police in the colony have any backbone?"

Although Chen Jiajun had a good relationship with Li Shutang and Li Wenbin, it did not mean that Chen Jiajun respected these Hong Kong police officers.

Most of the time, they are seen as pleasing to both sides.

How long has it been since the era of the Four Great Detectives ended? The people of Hong Kong have not forgotten how the Hong Kong police exploited them.

Now that this has happened again, it's no wonder people can't have a good impression of them!

The intelligence officer chuckled and said, "These past few days, the complaint hotlines at all the police stations in Hong Kong have been ringing off the hook! There are even people shouting for Han Yi-li to step down. Our Commissioner of Police is having a real headache lately!"

Upon hearing that Han Yili was to be questioned, Chen Jiajun's eyes lit up, and he said to his subordinate, "Arrange a meeting with Li Shutang for me. Tell him I want to chat with him!"

"Understood, boss!" The intelligence officer immediately went to make the call.

Chen Jiajun smiled as he watched the indignant citizens on television.

……

A few hours later, in a private room at Yunlai Teahouse.

Li Shutang arrived quickly: "What made you decide to invite me for tea?"

"You know what's been going on lately, right?" Chen Jiajun said with a smile.

"What's the matter?" Li Shutang asked, somewhat puzzled.

Chen Jiajun said with a look of surprise, "I, who just came back from Taiwan, know about this important matter, and you don't know?"

Li Shutang said irritably, "I'm retired now! Do you think everyone's like you?!"

Helpless, Chen Jiajun could only have his waiter bring up a newspaper and hand it to Li Shutang.

After reading it, Li Shutang's expression turned serious.

Chen Jiajun smiled and said to Li Shutang, "How was it? Wasn't it amazing?"

"A bunch of useless trash!" Li Shutang was, after all, a former assistant commissioner, a high-ranking officer in the police force.

It's impossible for someone who has worked in the police force for decades to have no feelings for it.

Now that the whole world is criticizing the police force, it's no wonder he looks so happy.

Chen Jiajun took a sip of tea and said, "Don't rush to scold me. Do you think this is a good opportunity?"

"What opportunity?" Li Shutang asked, panting heavily.

"A great opportunity for Li Wenbin to rise to power!" Chen Jiajun said to Li Shutang with a smile.

Even with Li Wenbin having Li Shutang as his father, his path in the police force was still very difficult.

This kid has made a lot of contributions recently, but he's been stuck at the position of senior inspector.

No one would believe it if you said there was no one suppressing them.

Li Wenbin himself felt extremely frustrated, but this was the path he had chosen.

Even his father, Li Shutang, couldn't say much. But that didn't mean Li Shutang wouldn't intervene; who could tolerate such bullying of his son?

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Li Shutang's eyes lit up immediately: "What are you planning to do?"

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "I guarantee that Han Yili's bunch of useless subordinates can't handle this case, so this can be the most brilliant achievement in Li Wenbin's police career."

Li Shutang was taken aback for a moment and said, "It can't be that bad! They're just a few robbers. Even if Han Yili's men are useless, they can't handle them, right?"

Chen Jiajun smiled slightly: "If I say I can't handle it, then I really can't handle it!"

"You..." Li Shutang was stunned: "You call this raising an enemy to enhance your own prestige!"

Chen Jiajun said unhappily, "You're spouting idioms all the time, do you want to take the postgraduate entrance exam? Don't forget I'm paving the way for your son!"

Li Shutang immediately fell silent: "Doing this will be a huge blow to the police force."

“Then you choose! On one side is your son, on the other is the police force!” Chen Jiajun said, spreading his hands.

Li Shutang was silent for a moment, then said helplessly, "Alright, what do you want to do?"

“It’s simple. I need you to use your connections to get rid of the police officers investigating this case so that your son can have a way out,” Chen Jiajun said calmly.

"Okay!" Li Shutang agreed without saying much.

After discussing the plan, the two got up and took their leave.

Chen Jiajun instructed the intelligence department to keep a close eye on the case and report any progress to him.

……

On the other side, the Hong Kong Government Headquarters.

A group of high-ranking police officers were waiting in the conference room to prepare for a meeting.

The fact that the police officer knelt down before the robber almost made the entire police force lose face.

With Commissioner Han Yi-li being summoned for questioning, the police force was left leaderless.

The head of the operations department is also away attending a meeting abroad, so the only one who can take charge now is Huang Yuanbin, the head of the administration department.

This guy is the only person after Li Shutang to reach the level of department head.

However, unlike Li Shutang, who is a local, Huang Yuanbin is a thoroughbred Englishman.

Otherwise, how could he, a Chinese person with no outstanding achievements, have reached this position?

A moment later, the conference room door was pushed open, and Huang Yuanbin strode in, saying to the group of senior police officers, "The Public Security Department just called the Commissioner and asked him to go to the Legislative Council to answer questions from members! You all should understand the seriousness of the matter, right?"

Then Huang Yuanbin asked the person next to him, "Ah Cao, what do you think?"

The police officer, Ah Cao, immediately switched to official jargon: "Basically, Hong Kong is still a safe city, with a lower crime rate than other cities. We have a very comprehensive system..."

Before he could finish speaking, Huang Yuanbin interrupted him, saying, "Nonsense!"

Then he turned his gaze to another person: "James?"

"Based on our past experience, we can identify targets within a week and achieve a 79.8% success rate in making arrests. They have no chance of escaping."

"More nonsense!" Huang Yuanbin turned his gaze to a woman in the administration office with displeasure: "Ah Gao, what do you think?"

"All frontline officers have had their leave canceled. We've arranged a half-hour special 'Police Training' program to promote working with the public to catch the criminal!"

Huang Yuanbin was a little angry. They had finally managed to wait until the head of the operations department was not in Hong Kong, which was a time for their administrative department to show off, but his subordinates were all just spouting empty rhetoric and talking nonsense. It was simply outrageous!

So he could only look at his most capable subordinate: "Superintendent Yang, what about you?"

"The faster we resolve this, the more face we'll save. Intelligence from the intelligence department is very important!" Superintendent Yang said helplessly, uttering a pointless remark.

There was nothing he could do about it; after all, the intelligence department needed time to investigate people. As one of the senior superintendents in charge of the intelligence department, Superintendent Yang didn't have a good solution either.

Huang Yuanbin was somewhat helpless, but when he looked at the last police officer, he asked, "The youngest one, do you have anything to say?"

The woman named by Huang Yuanbin was a young policewoman, who, judging from her rank, should be a police superintendent.

However, such meetings are usually only open to officers of the rank of senior superintendent or above, so it's somewhat strange that she was able to attend.

The policewoman's name is Fang Jiexia; she used to work in the publicity department.

She also studied media and communication. The reason she was transferred to the police force was simple: she had connections.

However, Fang Jiexia still had some ideas. Facing Huang Yuanbin's question, she directly said, "Image is very important. We should put on a good show, an eye for an eye. We live in the information age; we've been defeated by the media, so we must win back from them!" (End of Chapter)
