Hong Kong Movie: At the beginning, Big Boss B asked me to draw the death lottery

Chapter 162 Li Wenbin: Cai Yuanqi is finished, the very foundation of the police force is rotten!
“Mr. Governor, this is the plan.”

After 8 PM tonight, all of He Yaozong's attacks will vanish like bubbles!

I hope to invite all the major television stations to conduct a notarized live broadcast. We cannot give Ho Yiu-chung any breathing room!

Inside Government House, Choi Yuen-kei attempted to persuade Wilson to change his current appeasement policy toward Ho Yiu-chung.

However, Wei Yixin remained silent and did not express his opinion.

Only after Cai Yuanqi finished speaking did he sit up straight and look at Cai Yuanqi.

"Cai, what did you just say? I didn't hear a word you said!"

Cai Yuanqi knew that Wei Yixin still refused to take any responsibility, and if he wanted to get this matter done properly, he would have to take the blame himself.

If you do well, Wei Yixin will reward you accordingly.

If he doesn't do a good job, then Cai Yuanqi will have to take the blame himself.

However, Wei Yixin's ambiguous attitude did make Cai Yuanqi feel somewhat relieved.

This is the default attitude!

Cai Yuanqi stood up and glanced at his watch.

He immediately said, "It's already 5:30 pm, Mr. Governor. I'll go have afternoon tea later and then invite people from the major television stations over."

I will release these recordings to the public at 8 PM.

"Eight o'clock! Those Vietnamese will be at the foot of Bijia Mountain, just waiting for them to make their move so we can arrest them. This is irrefutable evidence!"

After speaking, Cai Yuanqi saluted Wei Yixin. Just as he was about to leave, Wei Yixin called him back.

"Cai, you don't need to ask me for instructions on what you need to do within your authority!"

However, in my capacity as Chairman of the Legislative Council, I will convene all legislators to attend this meeting in Wan Chai.

After speaking, Wei Yixin also stood up, but turned his back to Cai Yuanqi, seemingly not wanting Cai Yuanqi to see the change in his expression.

Cai Yuanqi immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you! Thank you, Governor!"

Time flies, and it was already 7:50 p.m.

Inside a meeting room in the Police Headquarters building on Arsenal Street, Wan Chai.

Cai Yuanqi sat on the stage, looking around at the guests below, his expression particularly somber.

He didn't know how a so-called triad leader could give him such an intimidating and oppressive feeling, to the point that he, the Commissioner of Police, had to resort to such despicable means as "stabbing raw pork" to deal with him.

Inside the meeting room, in addition to a group of senior police officers, staff from various television stations who came to broadcast the event live, there were also many members of the Legislative Council!

Even more noteworthy is that the Security Bureau also sent people over.

The person at the head was Lu Minghua, who was sitting at the conference table, chatting and laughing with a group of members of the Legislative Council.

Cai Yuanqi tested his voice into the microphone and then greeted the guests.

"Distinguished guests and colleagues, the reason I am holding this live television hearing today is to refute the public opinion created by certain individuals yesterday afternoon."

I won't go into too much detail; to save everyone's time, I'll get straight to the point.

After speaking, Cai Yuanqi looked at an ATV photographer.

"Friend from the media, was this hearing broadcast live?"

"Officer, there might be a delay of about half a minute."

"Okay, I'm sorry for taking up prime time slots on major TV stations."

Now let's get straight to the point. Jianming, play your recording for everyone to hear first!

Upon hearing this, Liu Jianming, who was sitting in the audience, immediately picked up his briefcase and walked to a tape recorder on the stage.

As he put in the tape, he glanced at Lu Minghua instinctively.

Lu Minghua simply nodded slightly to Liu Jianming, which reassured Liu Jianming considerably.

Without further ado, Liu Jianming put the cassette tape directly into the tape recorder.

Shila-

As the tape rotated, the recording that Cai Yuanqi had Liu Jianming forge, along with the recording that Liu Jianming had 'listened to,' began to play.

This immediately caused an uproar among the audience.

"That's absolutely outrageous!"

I said, "How could someone who's a member of a triad be so kind as to help build resettlement housing for the underprivileged?"
It turns out they were using various methods to create public opinion, exonerate themselves, and incidentally extort money from the Li family, who are known for their philanthropy!

The recording on the cassette tape had just finished playing when a fat, middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses slammed his fist on the table and angrily berated someone.

This man is none other than Albert Ho, the vice chairman of the Hong Kong Island Democratic Party and one of the heavyweight members of the Legislative Council.

Some people echoed Cai Yuanqi's performance in this play, while others raised questions.

"Mr. Choi, I have doubts about the authenticity of this recording."

Has this recording been verified?

The question was asked by a television reporter, and Tsai Yuan-chi responded immediately.

"The recording came from the intelligence department. If this friend in the media doubts the authenticity of the recording, we can also have telecommunications staff provide a verification."

However, none of this is the most crucial point. According to the information in this recording, we can learn that He Yaozong staged a self-inflicted injury at the foot of Bijia Mountain.

It's 7:59 now. In less than a minute, those Vietnamese guys will rob the armored truck belonging to Hysan Development Company heading to Beacon Hill.

Cai Yuanqi cleared his throat and continued.

"Reporters from all your major television stations have already been keeping watch over there."

If, at 8 PM, some Vietnamese men were shooting and robbing an armored truck, that would be enough to prove the authenticity of this recording!

"Officer Cai, your police department knew that Vietnamese refugees were going to rob an armored truck at the foot of Bijia Mountain, so why are you still sitting here holding this hearing?"

"Shouldn't your police force be arresting people immediately?"

"Friend, that's a good question!"

Actually, I had arranged for people to wait at Bijia Mountain long ago, just waiting for these Vietnamese refugees arranged by He Yaozong to make a move, so that we could catch them red-handed!

As for why our police department is holding this hearing during an arrest operation, why is that?

Cai Yuanqi picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and continued speaking.

"The reason is simple: He Yaozong is a very deceptive person who is good at guiding and manipulating public opinion."

He bestowed small favors upon himself, which made him very popular among many ordinary citizens.

Today, our police force is determined to tear off his mask of hypocrisy and expose his true colors to the public!

This person, even if he spent his entire life at Stanley Gate, it wouldn't be enough!

Cai Yuanqi spoke with such righteous indignation that Liu Jianming, standing behind him, couldn't help but feel nauseous.

As a former mole, he was still far too inexperienced in playing along with situations compared to Cai Yuanqi, the Commissioner of Police.

Cai Yuanqi leaned back in his chair and sat up straight.

He spoke again: "Everyone, it's already eight o'clock."

I suggest we rest for a few minutes and wait for news from Bijia Mountain.

You will see that our Hong Kong Island Police Force is truly dedicated to maintaining order on Hong Kong Island. This time, we will uproot Ho Yiu-chung, this cancer on Hong Kong Island, no matter what!

……

Cai Yuanqi was right; a large group of police officers had been lying in ambush at Bijia Mountain.

The entire group of Vietnamese men were pulled out and intercepted the armored truck carrying cash up the mountain.

Just as the group of Vietnamese men fired their guns, before they could even get close to the armored truck, police officers who had been lying in ambush all around rushed out and disarmed them.

Before long, the rotors of helicopters could be heard running on the mountain; even the Flying Tigers had been dispatched!

Upon hearing the police officer's order, the group of Vietnamese soldiers laid down their weapons faster than anyone else.

While most people felt a little annoyed, many Vietnamese men who had been detained in refugee camps for years felt a sense of relief.

The armored truck robbery has fallen into the hands of the police, so he's definitely going to jail, but at least he won't be deported back to Vietnam.

In the villa area halfway up Bijia Mountain, Li Wenbin sat in a van, having just received a message.

He immediately hung the walkie-talkie on his waist, then opened the car door and gave the order to the O-Division officers waiting at the villa entrance.

"Team A will keep watch outside, while Team B and I will enter the villa to take the person!"
Liao Zhizong, remember, don't let a single person escape!

After saying this, Li Wenbin adjusted his bulletproof vest, picked up a .38 pistol, and prepared to lead the way toward He Yaozong's villa.

Inspector Fei Sha from Group B also participated in the operation with several of his team members.

He quickly walked up to Li Wenbin and said, "Li sir, why don't you stay outside?"
I have some connections with He Yaozong; I can go in and persuade him to surrender!

"Officer Sha, who are you planning to persuade to surrender?"

Just as Fei Sha stood in front of Li Wenbin, the villa's door suddenly opened, and a mocking voice came from behind it. Fei Sha turned around and saw He Yaozong, smiling, walking out from inside.

In an instant, all the O-Division officers waiting at the door raised their pistols at Ho Yiu-chung.

He Yaozong stood there, his smile growing even wider.

"Wow! Such a big fuss, looks like I've been caught red-handed this time!"

"I'm still completely in the dark, Inspector Li. Can you explain to me why this is happening?"

A fierce glint flashed across Li Wenbin's face.

"He Yaozong, what time is it and you're still pretending to be stupid?"
"We don't need to waste time with pleasantries. My job is to apprehend the person. Save your explanations for the judge in court!"

As Li Wenbin spoke, he nudged Fei Sha, signaling Fei Sha to go forward and take the person.

This move can be considered as giving He Yaozong enough face.

Fatty sighed helplessly and finally pulled out a pair of handcuffs from behind his waist.

When he reached He Yaozong, he shook his head slightly, signaling him not to resist anymore.

He Yaozong was happy to have some free time, so he stretched out his hands and gestured for Fei Sha to put the handcuffs on his wrists.

click-

The only thing Fei Sha can do to help He Yaozong right now is to not handcuff him so tightly.

After He Yaozong was handcuffed, Fei Sha grabbed He Yaozong's arm again.

"Ah Yao, get in the car..."
-
It was already 8:05.

After receiving the message from the action department, Cai Yuanqi immediately prepared to get up and give a concluding speech.

The situation is hopeless now. No matter how powerful He Yaozong is, he has no way to turn things around!

Just as he was about to speak again, he suddenly heard a crackling sound from the tape recorder behind him.

Looking back, they saw that Liu Jianming had stuffed a cassette tape into the tape recorder they had just used.

"Jianming, what are you doing?"

Liu Jianming remained silent, only staring coldly at Cai Yuanqi as if delivering a judgment.

A bad feeling suddenly arose in Cai Yuanqi's mind, but it was too late. His conversation with Liu Jianming was already being played from the tape recorder.

"In extraordinary times, we must use extraordinary measures."

If you can handle He Yaozong this time, you'll have done a great service!

"Officer Choi, isn't this a frame-up?"
How could we, as police officers, do such a thing!

'Keep your voice down...'

Cai Yuanqi, who was slow to come to his senses, immediately flew into a rage, slammed his hand on the table, and was about to turn off the tape recorder.

But Liu Jianming blocked his way, preventing him from passing.

"Liu Jianming! Do you know what you're doing?"

I order you to turn off the recorder immediately!

"Make him finish playing the recording!"

Lu Minghua, who had been waiting to see this good show, finally spoke.

Then a commotion broke out at the scene. Cai Yuanqi's face turned from red to white. He never expected that Liu Jianming from the intelligence department would betray him at such a critical moment!
Cai Yuanqi felt it necessary to explain something.

"Gentlemen, I have reason to suspect that Officer Lau Kin-ming was bribed by Ho Yiu-chung!"
He's forging the recording; he has ulterior motives!!

“Officer Cai, the recording equipment used by the Intelligence Division is strictly reviewed and registered. It just so happens that when I came to see you today, I forgot to turn off the recording pen I was carrying.”

Whether the recording is fake or not, you can always have someone verify it.

As for those recordings you asked me to forge, whether they're real or fake can be easily verified!

Seeing that the conversation on the tape recorder was almost over, Liu Jianming turned around and retrieved the tape.

He took a deep breath until it was his turn to go on stage and perform.

Ignoring Cai Yuanqi, after Lu Minghua nodded, he looked around the scene.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I chose to play the recording of my conversation with Inspector Choi not because I wanted to help anyone, nor because I have any personal grudges with Inspector Choi."

It's simply because I feel that as a police officer, one should have the awareness of a police officer!

Hong Kong Island upholds the law, and the police force upholds discipline. No matter what Ho Yiu-chung has done, we should restrain and try him through legal means, rather than fabricating evidence and hastily closing the case by framing him!
If this kind of atmosphere develops from top to bottom within the police force, wouldn't it create a climate of fear and insecurity throughout Hong Kong Island?

Liu Jianming's words immediately silenced the audience.

The Legislative Council members, especially those arranged by Wilson, were speechless.

They can refute anything, except the rule of law that they are so proud of!

As Liu Jianming spoke, he turned to look at Cai Yuanqi, making no attempt to hide the disdain in his eyes.

"And our Commissioner, the top police officer who leads more than 30,000 police officers across Hong Kong Island, would actually use such despicable means, not hesitating to use these Vietnamese refugees to create chaos and drag someone down with him!"

To this, all I can say is that the education I received in the police force back then does not allow me to cooperate with him in doing such a thing!
If even the top police officer doesn't uphold the rule of law and resorts to such despicable tactics, then I'd like to ask everyone here: Over time, will the police officers of Hong Kong Island still have any faith?!

"Liu Jianming! You're a piece of trash!"

Don't listen to his nonsense..."

"enough!"

Lu Minghua knew he had to step in and smooth things over.

He glanced coldly at Cai Yuanqi, then walked over to Liu Jianming and snatched the tape from his hand.

He then turned to look at the group of media staff.

"Friends in the media, please pause the live broadcast for now."

If we were to ask who in this conference room is the most excited right now, besides Lu Minghua, it would undoubtedly be this group of media staff.

The difference was that Lu Minghua had to put on a sorrowful expression, and the media staff could hardly suppress their smiles.

The Commissioner of Police orchestrated a frame-up scheme, but he messed it up and ended up shooting himself in the foot.

This kind of explosive news happens only once every fifty years.

They would never agree to stop streaming now!

"Mr. Lu, I'm really sorry, but once our live stream starts, the only way to stop it is to go outside and disconnect the line."

"Mr. Lu, the police department invited us here. We've given up our prime time slot, there's no reason for us to cut off the live broadcast now, is there?"

"Yes! If the live broadcast is cut off because it involves a police scandal, wouldn't that just give them more ammunition to criticize?"
The public has the right to know the truth. I suggest the police force simply conduct a self-examination in front of the cameras!

……

The media personnel all chimed in with their opinions, but in short, they all shared one attitude—

They're not going to shut down the live stream right now!

Lu Minghua knew he had to control the situation at this moment.

The matter has already been exposed. If we allow these media outlets to fan the flames, the police force's reputation will inevitably suffer.

He intended to take over Cai Yuanqi's position and didn't want to have to clean up Cai Yuanqi's mess later!

Unable to deal with these media outlets, Lu Minghua decided to eliminate Cai Yuanqi first.

He walked up to Cai Yuanqi, his face cold, and said in a low voice.

"I suggest you stop arguing with these reporters now. Nobody can control this situation right now. Go back first."

Find Mr. Wei Yixin and try to get him to help you resolve this matter!

Cai Yuanqi felt like his head was about to explode. He couldn't figure out Lu Minghua's attitude, so he just nodded subconsciously.

Lu Minghua then gave orders to the police officers maintaining order at the scene. A group of people stepped forward and immediately escorted Cai Yuanqi away from the noisy conference room.

Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Zhuang Road.

Just as Li Wenbin was packing up and preparing to take He Yaozong across the sea tunnel, he suddenly received a phone call.

"Hello? This is Li Wenbin!"

After putting the phone to his ear, Li Wenbin's expression went from surprise to even greater surprise!

Even he, who was usually calm, was now so surprised that his mouth formed an 'O' shape.

As soon as Li Wenbin hung up the phone, Liao Zhizong, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but ask.

"Li sir, what happened?"

Li Wenbin let out a hysterical roar.

"It's over, Cai Yuanqi has dropped the flag!"
The very foundation of our Hong Kong Island Police Force is completely rotten!
