Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 457, Section 38: People Who Shouldn't Have Appeared

Following the internal affairs officer, Guo Guohao entered the room at the end of the corridor and met his host, Senior Superintendent Xia Qiaoshi, the head of the Internal Investigation Section of the Internal Affairs Department.

"Good afternoon, Officer Xia!"

"We met at Chief Situ's celebratory banquet, I didn't expect to meet again so soon!"

"I really don't know if this is lucky or unlucky!"

Guo Guohao shook hands with Xia Qiaoshi and glanced at the foreigner's office. He swore he would rather drink the ICAC's swill coffee than drink spiked lemon tea at the Internal Affairs Investigation Department.

Upon hearing Guo Guohao's words, Xia Qiaoshi laughed heartily. The last time the two met was indeed at Situ Zhiren's celebration party, but that was in March of last year, at the celebration party for Situ's appointment as Assistant Commissioner of Police.

This was a crucial battle for Chinese people to break through promotion barriers. After many years of twists and turns, Situ finally got it. Of course, the efforts of Da Tou Fang and others also played a part.

Don't underestimate the ceiling. If you can break through it, the road for Chinese police officers will be much easier in the future.

"Of course it's unfortunate! Nobody wants to come to my office, and sometimes I even have to work in a conference room."

“Your nemesis, Situ, also came to my office yesterday. He said there were two suspicious people in his men. He told them that all the cases they were handling had gone wrong.”

"Sometimes we can't even get any goods, let alone people!"

"I need to investigate this thoroughly to see if there are any problems!"

"Please sit down!"

Xia Qiaoshi took a bottle of mineral water from the office refrigerator and placed it in front of Guo Guohao, inviting the young talent to sit down.

It took Guo Guohao only eight years to climb from Chief Inspector to Senior Superintendent. In those eight years, he solved more than a dozen major cases, and he broke the records on the leaderboard in recent years.

He used to be an insignificant henchman, but now he's become a high-ranking cop on equal footing with me.

“That damn bastard Situ, none of his men can keep an eye on him. When we work on cases together, the Narcotics Bureau always leaks information, which makes everyone unhappy.”

Guo Guohao didn't hold back when criticizing his arch-rival, but he smiled bitterly to himself, realizing that he was now making fun of his older brother, Song Sheng, who had infiltrated the entire O-Division.

It's unclear how many of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) officers currently on duty and investigating cases are moles!

"You two are like fighting cocks, always trying to cause trouble the moment you meet."

"The Narcotics Investigation Department is a complete mess, and your Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) isn't much better. This is a document full of the OCTB employees' irregular spending."

"Fook Lam Moon every day? That's outrageous! As a senior superintendent, I can't afford to eat there more than a few times a month on my salary alone. How can they possibly have a table at Fook Lam Moon every day without any problems!"

Every day, Fu Lin Men sets up a table; who is so generous?

Guo Guohao also became interested and quickly opened the folder. He saw a photo of Peach Blossom Girl grinning foolishly with her teeth showing. He threw it back on his desk and complained, "You know who Peach Blossom Girl's father is."

"Peach Blossom Girl's promissory note can be redeemed for two million. I wouldn't be surprised if she went to the Peninsula Hotel every day, let alone a restaurant like Fu Lin Men!"

“That damn Ding Gou is such a cheapskate. He always makes Peach Blossom Girl treat him. I’ll teach him a lesson when I get back.”

"By the way! Peach Blossom Girl's dad is holding a fundraising gala soon. Since you've been helping me out lately, I'll give you a hand in return. Li Ka-shing is there too. If he just nods, your donation quota for this year will be taken care of all at once!"

Guo Guohao was well aware of the proverb "returning a favor for a favor." He knew that if he wanted his partners to be fully committed, he had to offer them something enticing.

"Thank you! I will definitely be there when I meet the boss."

Now, these foreigners in Hong Kong have all adapted to local customs. Not only do they speak Cantonese fluently, but they've also learned all the unspoken rules of Hong Kong.

Whether it was the British Isles or the various colonies, everyone was just lining their own pockets.

Li Ka-shing is currently riding high, holding a huge amount of stocks at rock-bottom prices. Xia Qiaoshi is naturally willing to step forward. He has been sitting on the sidelines in the Internal Affairs Investigation Department for three years, and his official position is high enough that he could easily be transferred to any major region as a deputy commander.

It would be best to get closer to Li Ka-shing and help him solve some trivial troubles. I heard that Li Ka-shing's Cheung Kong Group is currently lacking a seasoned security supervisor.

A million-dollar annual salary, easy work, all you need to do is move your fingers and call your old colleagues.

This position is perfect for me.

"Your connections will be richly rewarded. Right now, three monitoring teams are listening to everyone participating in the meeting. They are surrounded by eyes."

"If they make any wrong move, they will be punished by heaven. Our Ministry of Internal Affairs has already laid a tight net."

"But you should take a look at this first!"

Xia Qiaoshi flipped through his file box, found a red folder, placed it in front of Guo Guohao, and said, "Our Internal Affairs Department is also investigating Song Sheng."

"Everyone leaves traces; the difference is whether those traces are left intentionally or involuntarily."

"Although the moles detained by the Ministry of the Interior are all stubborn and refuse to admit their wrongdoing, we have already investigated their overseas account information through our old connections in MI5." "We have discovered that five charitable foundations in Hong Kong are connected to these moles, and the treatment lists of these five charitable foundations have now been expanded to include a long list of people."

“Two investigators from the Housing and Urban Development Department, one researcher from the Development Department, and three police officers.”

"The Housing and Urban Development Authority and the Development Authority have nothing to do with our Ministry of the Interior. I took pity on them and transferred the information to the Independent Commission Against Corruption. As you know, ever since that damned joint signature meeting, our Ministry of the Interior has become a mole within the police station."

"The file transfer was approved by the top leader, and Shapison also knew it; none of that matters."

"The important thing is, what should we do with these three cops!"

Guo Guohao interrupted Xia Qiaoshi, opened the document, and found his right-hand man on it.

A-boy!
That's a surprising name!
"Brother A's father has liver cancer. You know, in Hong Kong's public hospitals, you only need to spend fifty dollars a day to treat all the diseases on earth."

"But we all know in our hearts that going into a public hospital is no different from going into a morgue."

"Liver cancer! An incurable disease; humans can only delay its progression, not cure it completely."

"Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital has now introduced a miracle needle, which costs 50,000 Hong Kong dollars per injection. Even if you and I combine our salaries, bonuses, and Hong Kong club bonds, we still can't afford this one injection."

"I like this name, 'Miracle Needle,' it really sounds like a god in the world, turning stones into gold. With just one needle, Brother A's father can stand up again."

"You can turn to the next page!"

Xia Qiaoshi sneered. Saving one's father is a matter of course, but to exchange the information that the brothers on the front lines, the comrades in the intelligence department and the criminal intelligence department risked their lives for one's own father's life is a bit too much to ask!

Everyone has their own unspeakable secrets; does that mean everyone has to be a mole?!

Organizations should consider feelings, but they cannot rely solely on feelings!
The "miracle needle" is a small matter! Guo Guohao can come up with 50,000 or 100,000 yuan. Getting into the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital is also just a matter of a word from him. He knows about this kind of needle; his father is currently using it.

At first, it was once every six months, then every three months, then once a month, and finally once a week.

Once drug resistance develops, the body will not absorb it properly.

But now is not the time to talk nonsense. Guo Guohao flipped through the documents and saw a photo of a middle-aged woman. She was beautiful, but you could still tell that she had a worldly air about her, even if you only looked at the photo.

"Who is this?"

Guo Guohao took the photo down, waved it at Xia Qiaoshi, and raised his doubts.

"I don't know either! In my narrow-minded and dark heart, two ridiculous answers came to mind."

"First, Brother A has a mother complex. This is his girlfriend, or, in trendy gangster slang, a woman!"

"Secondly, this person is Song Sheng's man, and he is the one who carried out the plan to drag Brother A into this mess."

“I had the guys from the political department investigate, and the security guards only managed to scrape up the basic information about this woman. Her name is Sun Meifeng, and she’s a volunteer at the Rescue Agency.”

"There is no account information, no medical records, no dental records, not even blood type information, the identity card is also the first generation, and there is not even a photo."

“If it weren’t for the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital installing a hidden CCTV camera on the rooftop, I wouldn’t even have been able to get this photo.”

"Do you want to clean house yourself, or should we do it?"

Xia Qiaoshi had also investigated the case and even obtained CID certification from the Scottish Ministry. He also holds a master's degree in criminal psychology, and most of his analyses were correct.

Guo Guohao smiled, stuffed the photo into his pocket, and shook his head with a smile: "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. Now Song Sheng knows about our actions because that old bastard has planted eyes and ears all over us."

“But we know nothing about Song Sheng. This old bastard is a huge mystery to us. We need a way to get started.”

"A-Zai is the key!"

"I hope Song Sheng doesn't know right now that your Internal Affairs Department has already set its sights on Brother A!"

Guo Guohao took a sip of mineral water and offered a new idea, encouraging Xia Qiaoshi to use his intelligence.

"Using someone's strength against them! A great idea!"

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs isn't safe either. There are many elderly people there who have received red envelopes from the four chief detectives, including me!"

“I obtained authorization from the Department of Justice, the Chief Justice, the three major families, and the Chief Secretary also signed it. Two official members of parliament and one non-official member of parliament also signed it.”

“They gave me five million Hong Kong dollars, and I used that money to hire an investigation company that specializes in handling intelligence for MI6.”

Xia Qiaoshi sat back in his boss's chair and told Guo Guohao that he had made ample preparations.
