The Chief Detective Inspector is dead. I'm now the top police officer in Hong Kong!

Chapter 118 A Masterful Move, A Cataclysmic Change (12)

Adu's heart pounded, and his voice was filled with shock: "No stock?"

The expressions on Lao Zhang's, Chen Sheng's, and Zhang Jinrong's faces were quite interesting when they heard this.

Lin Tiansheng said, "You Bo isn't a fool. It seems he didn't trust Yang Sihai and was just testing his men. Go back to the police station and report this to Henry!"

Adu's worry turned to joy, and he said softly, "Yes, sir."

Without the HK$10 million worth of goods, the Narcotics Bureau lacks the decisive credit, and there is still room for them to fight.

Huang Ye, a cigarette dangling from his lips, paced back and forth in his office. After receiving the call, his expression turned serious, and he said in a low voice, "Inspector Fu!"

Fu Wenjie snapped, his voice sharp with anger, "Where's the goods?!"

"Ten million Hong Kong dollars worth of goods, not a single penny has been seen. The Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) is your man, you better keep an eye on Lam Tin-shing, don't cause any trouble, you bastard!"

Huang Ye was slightly taken aback, but immediately realized that Sheng He had set him up. He gritted his teeth and said, "Officer Fu, I will definitely find a way to make Sheng He hand over a batch of goods."

"The situation on site"

Fu Wenjie's tone softened slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "It went fairly smoothly. Lin Tiansheng injured an undercover police officer, tried to take credit and mess things up, and now he wants to be promoted? He won't even pass his probation period!"

Huang Ye breathed a sigh of relief. Things weren't perfect, but the main goal had been achieved. He had done well and made no mistakes. He immediately replied, "I understand."

A moment later, Lin Tiansheng and his men returned to the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) looking disheveled. Three of the Serious Crimes Unit officers were injured. Although the losses were minor, they had worked for nothing, and everyone was furious and frustrated. No one in the team dared to ask any questions.

Hearing a noise outside, Huang Ye pulled down the two Venetian blinds, a cold smile on his face, pushed open the door, and called out with a stern expression, "Lin sir, come in."

Lin Tiansheng was prepared. He stepped into the office, stood at attention, and saluted: "Inspector Huang."

"Inspector Fu from the Narcotics Bureau just called and berated me, saying I'm stupid for sabotaging their operation and injuring one of his men." Huang Ye sat in his chair and said coldly, "The operation that the higher-ups have been preparing for for more than half a year has failed. Who will take responsibility?"

Lin Tiansheng said, "The operation was approved by Inspector Henry and no members of the anti-drug team were injured."

“There’s an undercover agent among the gangsters involved in the deal. It’s been seven or eight years, and he’s only just managed to infiltrate Youbo’s inner circle.” Huang Ye looked impatient and raised his hand, indicating that he didn’t need to explain. “It’s not that I’m not looking out for you. If you can bring back a shipment, then you’ll have an excuse. Stealing credit, stealing credit, you have to do something good, Lin sir.”

"Not being able to find the goods and sabotaging the operation is utter incompetence. You're suspended from duty now. Hand over your identification, and I'll plead with the Commissioner and Inspector Fu."

Lin Tiansheng raised his eyebrows, unconvinced, and said, "To suspend me from my post, you need the director's document."

"I'm your superior, am I not qualified to order you to hand over your gun?" Huang Ye slammed his fist on the table and roared, startling the staff in the outer office area.

With a cold face, Lin Tiansheng slowly removed the ID card from around his neck, wrapped the nylon rope around the card, and tossed it onto Inspector Huang's desk.

He angrily took off his gun holster and slammed it on the table.

"enough!"

"Sir"

He was still a probationary inspector. If he made any major mistakes within a year, he would be deemed unqualified as a probationary inspector, have his inspector rank revoked, and be demoted back to the rank of junior officer.

Without even the rank of inspector, his previous selection for the "talent development program" was obviously ruined, and the senior inspector position was like a cooked duck flying away. The elite faction was already waiting here, ready to use the life of an undercover cop to completely destroy him.

"Boom."

Lin Tiansheng slammed the door and left, looking displeased. Huang Ye, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, showed no anger whatsoever, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, appearing exceptionally pleased.

"Boss, what does Mr. Huang want?" Chen Anquan asked with concern. Lin Tiansheng, hands in his pockets, stood by the table and said unhappily, "Mr. Huang, suspend me from my duties and put me on leave!"

Ah Du's eyes widened in disbelief: "Surely not, Inspector Lin. We're risking our lives. The Narcotics Bureau looks down on us. Even Inspector Wong won't protect us?"

He didn't mince words; his voice was loud enough for many of the workers present to hear, and their expressions changed drastically. The workers didn't care who their superiors wanted to suppress, but this case was arranged by Huang Ye, and when things went wrong, Huang Ye stood by and did nothing, even colluding with outsiders to target his own department. His character was utterly despicable, making it difficult for him to command respect.

Hou Canxing and He Jiawei, the two assistants, handed the document to several subordinates who were about to interrupt, barely managing to keep Huang Sir in check. Lin Tiansheng said, "One of the gangsters was injured by us, and the Narcotics Bureau will investigate."

"Hold!"

"Why didn't anyone notify us about something so important?" Chen Anquan was stunned, finding it hard to believe that the elite faction would use an undercover agent as leverage. Even corrupt cops wouldn't do something so disgusting.

"It's over." Old Zhang's heart skipped a beat, and he sat down in his chair, feeling suffocated.

Chen Anquan removed his identification from around his neck, threw it on the table, and shouted into the office, "This case was handled by everyone. If anyone is to be suspended, then everyone should be suspended."

"I'm not serving you anymore!"

Seeing Chicken Head and Inspector Lin leave, Ah Du followed and took off his ID: "Take me with you."

Old Zhang and Inspector Bao, though unwilling, put down their identification and weapons and hurriedly followed their boss away. If Lin Tiansheng couldn't stay in the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, they couldn't stay either. In other words, the people Huang Ye assigned to Lin Tiansheng were not well-liked in the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau. If they didn't show their determination to go all the way, they would be unreliable to both sides.

Ah Du got into Lin Sir's car, pinning his hopes on the infamous Five Poisons Detective to bring in reinforcements. He asked with an eager look, "Lin Sir, what are we going to do?"

"I finally got a vacation, so I'll treat you to a full-service foot massage and foot bath." Lin Tiansheng shifted gears, his expression much more relaxed.

Salty Abalone's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly: "Great! If you're unhappy, go find something to be happy about. Who cares, life goes on."

Inside the foot massage parlor.

Lin Tiansheng changed his clothes in the private dressing room, with the name tag hanging on his wrist. He took out his mobile phone and dialed Qiao Jingxing's number, explaining the background of the case and saying, "There are still people watching Chen Yaoxing. If we can take down Chen Yaoxing, Wen Biao and the other two will have done a good job."

Wearing his police superintendent uniform, Qiao Jingxing sat upright in his office, agreeing with Lin Tiansheng's words. Being able to handle two of the five tigers of the New Kowloon Police Department meant that even if he was held accountable for injuring an undercover agent, he would still have merit to rely on; the worst outcome would be a transfer out of the West Kowloon Organized Crime and Triad Bureau.

With the remnants of the party's current strength, transferring people to East Kowloon or other departments wouldn't be difficult. However, Lin Tiansheng felt there was still a chance in West Kowloon and didn't want to give up, so he spoke up: "That undercover agent shouldn't be dead. Could we transfer the Narcotics Bureau's undercover agent file to the Criminal Investigation Department so we can use it?"

Qiao Jingxing exclaimed in surprise, his heart filled with doubt: "That's a brilliant move!"

"Hmph, if Fu Wenjie had managed to seize a shipment, then there would be no hope. But now, injuring the undercover agent is your responsibility, but isn't it his too? As the head of the Criminal Investigation Department, I'll call him here right now!"

After saying that, Qiao Jingxing hung up the phone.

Today, although the remnants of the party are weaker than the elites and can't compare to the Westerners, as long as they have connections at the top, they are not afraid of getting rained on at the bottom. It's a system of layering on top of layer. Any breakthrough at any level can change the situation, but the lower the level, the more flexible it is, and the easier it is for subversion to occur.
