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

Chapter 26 Preparing for the Promotion Exam (Seeking monthly votes and recommendations)
Lin Tiansheng was standing in the stairwell when he lit a cigarette with a snap. He saw Pi Zhibang walking back with a beaming smile, cigarette in hand, raising an eyebrow and asking, "Pi sir, going to flatter someone again?"

Pi Zhibang, looking displeased, stepped forward and leaned against the wall, saying, "How can you survive without flattering others? The police force needs more than just you; it needs me too."

"Without me, how could you have gotten promoted?"

Lin Tiansheng paused his smoking motion, looked up, and asked with a surprised expression, "All done?"

"All done. Get ready for the upgrade test, Officer Lin." Pi Zhibang crossed his arms, adopting a self-satisfied posture, and said shamelessly, "With Henry's personality, he'll be a piece of cake."

Lin Tiansheng exhaled a breath of air, gave a thumbs up and said, "It's still Pi Sir who has a way with things, even dealing with foreigners, thank you!"

"what?"

"You son of a bitch, you're slandering me!"

Pi Zhibang pretended to pinch his buttocks, but Lin Tiansheng quickly twisted his waist to dodge it and said with a grin, "Thank you so much, Pi sir."

Pi Zhibang's expression softened slightly, but his tone became somewhat serious: "We're all on the same side, no need for thanks. Just so you know, I was the one who recommended Henry to form the mixed squad. You won't blame me, will you?"

Lin Tiansheng shook his head: "I know your good intentions and bad intentions. I came out to raise the flag myself and tell the brothers that I'm back in the game. How could I be afraid of death? Thank you so much."

Pi Chi-pong nodded: "You've got guts! You were really impressive today. Ah Wing, that crazy guy, risked his life to cover the mine, he was really crazy. Even those few reservoir police were brave enough, it was beyond my expectations."

"In less than half a month, everyone is willing to risk their lives for you. Tsk tsk, what's your secret, Young Master Sheng?"

Lin Tiansheng laughed and said, "Maybe all Chinese men are the same; the more others want you to die, the less willing you are to die."

"An indestructible hero? I'll take you on. No wonder Brother Le handpicked you as his successor. You're truly remarkable, and the other old brothers have all seen it."

"Although the upgrade test might be difficult for the foreigners and the new police (elite faction), don't be afraid. Just perform normally and you'll definitely pass." After giving a couple of hints, Pi Zhibang sneered, "I heard that when the pond police rushed up, I thought you had taken a share of their dirty money and kidnapped their mothers."

"Tch, that's Detective Hua's style, not my style, Lin Sir," Lin Tiansheng denied with a laugh, flicking away his cigarette ash. Pi Zhibang squinted and chuckled, "Hey lunatic, how badly is Ah Li injured?"

"I just finished the call. The old man took some photos, but he was knocked unconscious by the shock and has some internal bleeding. He'll be discharged in a few days," Lin Tiansheng said. "It's just that Ah Li was shot in the leg and will be gone for at least ten days to two weeks. Luckily, Zi Cong can be discharged, so I still have people to help me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have any men to use."

Under his management, there was a long waiting list for hospitalization, and the staff was never all available for more than a few days after they arrived at their posts.

Pi Zhibang chuckled inwardly, understanding the unspoken message: "You want me to bring people back? Tell me, who do you want to transfer back this time?"

“Yunzai”.

Deng Gengyun was more pure-hearted and better at fighting. Although his marksmanship was only average and far inferior to Chen Anquan's, Lin Tiansheng always had a feeling that Chen Anquan had some secrets.

It's not a problem between brothers, it's about his personal financial situation.

According to intelligence transmitted by Wisdom, Chen Anquan would cross the sea to Macau every week during his holidays. He gambled every day until he was completely bewildered, and surprisingly, he had no debts at all in the financial company he owned in the underworld.

It's important to understand that for the intelligence department, loan shark accounts are relatively easy to investigate. The fact that the various triad finance companies didn't send anyone to collect the debts proves that Chen Anquan's income is at least sufficient to cover his debts.
The meager salary of the "car parkers" in the mobile unit is not even enough to afford to play with prostitutes, let alone want to work as a plumber at the Lisboa Casino.
Lin Tiansheng didn't believe that the Gun King could become the God of Gamblers. Before figuring out Chen Anquan's financial problems, he decided to put him on hold for now.

After all, as long as the financial problems don't cause a financial crisis, everything will be fine. But once a financial crisis occurs, bankruptcy and jumping off a building are the least of our worries. We can't let down our brothers' hard work.

Moreover, financial matters are too private. Even sworn brothers shouldn't ask about them abruptly without a suitable opportunity, lest it damage their relationship.

After listening, Pi Zhibang patted his chest and said with a smile, "The Wan Chai boxing champion, right? That glutton, I saw him on the road when I drove through Tsuen Wan last time." "Back in the day, he earned hundreds of thousands in a boxing match, and he was standing on the road directing traffic, hahaha, I laughed my head off. Okay! I'll write a report, and after you finish your promotion exam, you can transfer him over."

Lin Tiansheng couldn't laugh out loud, and said awkwardly, "Thank you, Pi Sir."

Pi Zhibang put his arm around his shoulder: "By the way, the gold shop robbery case, although all the criminals are dead, it's not over. The Mong Kok military uniformed officers searched for a long time, but they couldn't even find a single piece of gold dust at the scene. Halfway there, the gold was taken away. You're in charge of investigating the case. You know how lucrative the recovery of stolen goods is, right?"

Lin Tiansheng's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected there to be a follow-up to the gold shop case. He immediately saluted and said, "Yes, sir!"

"You're busy, I'm leaving now." Pi Zhibang straightened his shirt collar, his expression turned serious, and strode into the office.

Lin Tiansheng returned to his workstation but did not immediately call Lao Ma and Liu Yida for a meeting. The two had fought a fierce battle that morning and were exhausted. They were taking a nap in their chairs. Even the most urgent matters had to wait until their colleagues woke up.

It's true that there's money to be made from tracing stolen goods, but the lion's share will definitely be confiscated. Why are the police in such a hurry? The gold shop owners should be the ones worried.

Just by recalling it, some of the logic becomes clear.

"No wonder those thugs were so brave and fearless. It turns out they had already sent the stolen goods away before the PTU arrived, so they weren't worried about their families not getting paid."

The Big Circle Gang still adheres to the rules and won't embezzle the money earned by their fellow villagers who risked their lives. Surrounded by the police, death was more valuable than surrender. Because the criminals lacked the will to survive, they only occupied vacant residential units and did not coerce the hostages into negotiations.

Seeing that his colleague wouldn't wake up anytime soon, Lin Tiansheng said goodbye to Chen Sheng, then got up and left the police station to go to the Far East Exchange to transfer the money from his stock account to his bank account.

Before the market opened this morning, he made a phone call and asked a trader to help him sell off all his Cheung Kong shares.

He didn't hold the stocks for long, but thanks to the sharp rise in the property market, he made a 12% profit. HK$350,000 turned into HK$420,000 in the blink of an eye. He really made the most of the era's dividends.

I saw Lai Chung-ying again at the Peninsula Hotel. Just two days later, Lai had dyed his white hair black and put on an inexpensive but clean and decent suit. He looked completely refreshed.

A successful career is truly a man's elixir of life.

Lin Tiansheng handed the fake passport and account to Li Zhongying and said, "The remaining HKD 400,000 was previously placed in the stock market and has increased by HKD 50,000. The password is written on the back. Take it and use it."

The remaining 20,000 will stay in the account. The amount is too small to worry about the police checking it, and it's just enough for daily expenses.

Li Zhongying took the account with a calm expression and said, "Thank you, Young Master Sheng. Yesterday, I rented a 3,000-square-foot office space on the 17th floor of the Yee Wo Building in Central. I just registered the company, which is called Shengshi Building. I don't know if Young Master Sheng likes this name."

Lin Tiansheng sat on the sofa, sipping his coffee, and said with a smile, "Such a catchy name, you must have gone to a lot of trouble. How could you not like it?"

When do you plan to open?

What a flatterer! Who doesn't like being flattered?

Li Zhongying took out a business card from the inside pocket of his suit and handed it over with both hands: "We opened for business on the very first day we got the license."

"The company is currently recruiting, but even one person's job is still required. I will gradually recruit some new people. In terms of direction, while handling ordinary housing transactions, I'd like to try luxury housing transactions as well. What do you think, Mr. Sheng?"

Lin Tiansheng took the business card, which read "General Manager of Shengshi Building" along with a landline number, pager number, and mobile phone number.

The company is small, but it has a strong presence. If Lin Tiansheng were to guess, he would never guess that it is a newly established company.
