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

Chapter 140 A New Account of Dismemberment, The Man from the North (24)

Around 10 a.m., in the O-district office area.

Lin Tiansheng arrived late, dressed in a casual suit with his shirt open and a red tie.

Hou Canxing was busy when he saw Lin Sir arrive. He immediately stood at attention and saluted, saying, "Good morning, sir."

“I’m on vacation, no need for salutes.” Lin Tiansheng, wearing a Vacheron Constantin watch with a steel belt, had a tough face, a clean beard, and an impressive demeanor. He smiled and waved, “Sit down and get to work.”

"Yes, sir." After Hou Canxing sat down, the other employees who had gotten up followed suit. Lin Tiansheng took out a stack of movie tickets, placed them on Hou Canxing's desk, and said, "These are for the employees of my girlfriend's new movie. Take your families to see it when you have time."

"Thank you so much, boss." Hou Canxing picked up the thick book of movie tickets, his face beaming with joy.

"I went to see Henry."

Lin Tiansheng turned and left, not long after.

One hundred movie tickets, not cheap, were paid for by him personally during prime time, purely to support Li Shaifeng.

Henry, in his office, saw Lin Tiansheng knocking on the door through the window. He put down his pen and called out loudly, "Come in!"

"Good morning, sir." Lin Tiansheng pushed open the door, stepped forward, stood at attention, and saluted.

Henry didn't get up. With a stern face, he sized up the young man in front of him and said with a slightly sarcastic tone, "Inspector Lin is really quite capable. Even when you're on leave, your guys are still working for you. Do you own the West Kowloon Organized Crime and Triad Bureau?"

Lin Tiansheng knew perfectly well that his superior was unhappy about being sidelined, so he replied, "I don't understand, sir."

Bang.

Henry slammed his hand on the table and couldn't help but stand up: "You understand too well, Inspector Lin!"

He desperately wanted to bring in an elite officer to oversee the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB), but Lin Tiansheng was taking control of the Chinese police too quickly, and if not handled properly, it could easily lead to a loss of control.

The conflict was too intense, the case was poorly handled, my resume looks bad, and it will affect my promotion.

After several hesitations.

Out of respect for the action report Lin Tiansheng had handed over, they temporarily suppressed their dissatisfaction. Lin Tiansheng, unafraid of the foreigner's outburst, stood upright with a serious expression.

Henry calmed down, sighed, and asked, "How confident are you about the New Journalist's report on their actions?"

"Ten percent!"

Lin Tiansheng's eyes were firm as he said confidently, "If the police don't take action, the New Triad will fall into chaos. Now is the perfect opportunity for the police force to take advantage of the factional conflicts within the New Triad and break up a large triad of 100,000 people into two smaller ones, so that the police force can control them."

"Large-scale incidents can reduce the occurrence of mass incidents and allow the Emir to make better decisions. Small-scale incidents can arrest the ringleaders, deter petty criminals, and greatly enhance the reputation of the police force."

"Whether the ultimate goal can be achieved remains to be seen as we proceed, but in terms of weakening the power of the New Party, there is absolutely no problem."

Henry's eyes were sharp. After hearing the reply, he walked out of the office with his hands behind his back, a hint of threat in his voice, and warned, "Director Mark is very dissatisfied with some of the things you've done."

"Although we don't care about your infighting among Chinese people, as Royal Police officers, you must obey your superiors' orders, do you understand?"

Lin Tiansheng's expression was cold as he roared, "Understood, sir!"

Henry pointed to his chest: "This plan saved you, Four-Eyed Dragon's actions saved you. Tomorrow morning, cancel your leave and go to headquarters for a meeting. This case is personally overseen by William Sir from the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau. You are the frontline commander of West Kowloon, responsible for operations in West Kowloon. Report to me."

The New Division's gangs are spread throughout Hong Kong, making it impossible for a single inspector to oversee the case. Each district has its own responsible person, and high-level decisions are made by the Superintendent of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) at the headquarters.

In theory, Henry is in charge of West Kowloon, while Lam Tin-shing is only responsible for frontline operations. However, as long as Henry doesn't interfere, he is no different from the person in charge. "Yes, sir," Lam Tin-shing stood at attention, saluted, and shouted again.

Henry waved his hand dismissively and snapped, "Get out!"

He finds it annoying to even glance at it.

After leaving the office, Lin Tiansheng whistled, in high spirits.

Regardless of who's in charge of the case, it's good that the new detective is capable; and with a superintendent from the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau in charge, they deserve applause. Regardless of how much money the new detective can come up with for bribery, he's definitely got his hands on the West Kowloon district.

The authorities must be very opposed to the New Triad's move to the mainland; otherwise, the plan to dismantle the New Triad would not have been approved. Because the New Triad is currently the largest triad, taking action would create a major uproar, damage the Hong Kong government's image, and could even lead to the downfall of its top leader.

Politicians have always avoided the tough issues and targeted the weak.

Anyone who starts tackling the toughest challenges is hindering the grand strategy; they're determined to move mountains. Regardless of Lin Tiansheng's answers to Henry's inquiries in the office, the message was clear: the operation has officially begun!
Lin Tiansheng's tough stance was merely a psychological comfort to Henry, making it easier to drag him down when trouble arises.

Hou Canxing, holding a cigarette case, waited in the corridor. When Ah Tou came out, he stepped forward, offered him a cigarette, and said with a smile, "Inspector Lin, the foreigner didn't throw a tantrum, did he?"

“It’s been sent, but it’s useless.” Lin Tiansheng took the cigarette, put it in his mouth, and enjoyed the light Hou Canxing offered him. He joked, “Between anger and humiliation, the foreigner chose to be humiliated.”

Hou Canxing was overjoyed and said, "The guys are all very happy to have a movie to watch."

"I'll cancel my vacation tomorrow," Lin Tiansheng said.

Hou Canxing's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down: "The brothers have been waiting for you for a long time."

"I'm leaving. It's my last day. I have dinner plans with some friends." Lin Tiansheng planned to go to the housing company to check the accounts, then visit the factory outlet at Wan Chai Ferry Pier. For dinner, he was going to meet with Wang Jing, Xie Xian, and other friends from the entertainment industry.

The actions taken against Xinji are undoubtedly part of a larger plan, which could take anywhere from six months to two or three years, with each stage requiring significant effort.

An organization that is nearly a century old and keeps up with the times is not an easy task to destroy, no matter how rotten its roots are.

I'll be busy for a long time to come. Business matters will only be addressed in short bursts of free time. It's like throwing money down the drain and then completely ignoring the fool.

Moreover, you can never have too many connections; you can meet more talented people from various circles. Working in the police force isn't just about fighting and killing; you also need to be good at interpersonal relationships.

Hou Canxing escorted Ah Tou to the elevator, raised his hand in salute, and said with a serious expression, "Goodbye, sir."

It was around nine o'clock in the evening.

Lin Tiansheng, arm in arm with Li Shaifeng, slowly walked out of the Peninsula Hotel's revolving doors, accompanied by Wang Jing, Xie Xian, Yang Sihai, and others. Watching Lin Baojianni drive away with the handsome man and beautiful woman, actress Huang Xingxiu, who played the second female lead, looked on with envy and remarked, "Mr. Lin is truly an interesting man."

Wang Jingyuan's face twitched slightly as he smiled and said, "Sister Xiu, find out more about Lin Sheng's background. He's not just interesting, he's experienced and has seen a lot!"

Huang Xingxiu glanced at Wang Jing: "That's also a sign of good taste."

Lin Tiansheng drove his supercar, enjoying the sea breeze, through the Hung Hom Tunnel, back to Shanghai Street. Six bodyguards got out of the car first, blocking the big boss's way, and suddenly drew their guns.

A tall, middle-aged man with a buzz cut was seen squatting at the entrance of the building, holding a bottle of cola in his hand. He slowly got up and walked towards the sports car.

Ye Jiu pointed his gun at the newcomer and coldly questioned, "Sir, what brings you here?"

"I'm in the same line of work as Inspector Lin." The middle-aged man produced an identification document, which did not bear the British Royal Warrant, but rather the Chinese Police Badge.
