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

Chapter 53 Power is Money
In a cafe in Kowloon City.

Ge Shaoxiong, the 42-year-old head of the number gang, dressed simply in a gray Zhongshan suit. With a few quick strokes of his pen, he signed the house purchase contract.

Born into a military family and raised in the underworld, he was the legitimate leader of the Xiaozidui gang and the son of the founder of the Number Gang. Nicknamed "Prince," he killed someone in the street after getting into an argument when he was a teenager. Later, he attended the Whampoa Military Academy for training and fled to Hong Kong with his father to make a living.

Upon assuming power, he led three hundred knife-wielding men to a great victory against the Guangdong gang!
He experienced many great changes in his life, which honed his ability to advance and retreat as needed, and his keen insight.

After handing the contract to Li Zhongying, he said, "Please tell Young Master Sheng that the Number Gang has no intention of interfering in police affairs. If there is anything else that has offended us, please contact me, Young Master Sheng. The gang has decided to enforce its internal rules and punish those responsible severely."

Li Zhongying took the contract, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, I will definitely deliver it."

He had already privately called Young Master Sheng to ask for his approval before he dared to take out the contract and accept the money.

A real estate agency is essentially a money-making machine; whether it's making money or receiving money, it all goes through them.

Ge Shaoxiong handed the copy of the contract to his henchman, stood up, and said happily, "If I make money, I'll introduce my friends to buy apartments."

Li Zhongying laughed and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Ge, I used to work in finance at a bank. I'm sure I'll make money in the current real estate market."

After seeing Ge Shaoxiong off, Li Zhongying returned to the company and called her boss: "Mr. Lin, we sold 27 apartments. We made 780,000 yuan in commission alone."

Lin Tiansheng had just woken up from a nap when he received the message, and he wasn't surprised: "Leave the money at the company first, and do a good job."

As long as they have power, those gangsters will immediately fawn over them like dogs.

Although the Major Crimes Unit is not responsible for cracking down on organized crime, its fists have landed solid blows on the Number Gang. Ge Shaoxiong is the leader of the Number Gang. No matter how powerful he is in the underworld, what does it matter?
They still have to come and deliver the money.

If Lin Tiansheng doesn't accept bribes, then he'll just use Zhengxing Company for legitimate transactions and send money.

Although Yi Zidui doesn't usually hand over his numbers to Ge Shaoxiong, he is still a subordinate Zidui, and if problems arise, the big boss has to handle it.

The loss from one shipment was just a convenient opportunity to target Hu Xuyong. But if he were to be completely destroyed, the entire source of income would be cut off, and the entire "Yi" brand would collapse. Just like a listed company's subsidiary incurring losses and having to make a "goodwill impairment" entry in the financial statements, the collapse of Hu Xuyong's business would damage the entire company's reputation.

The big boss doesn't care about a single person in charge, but he needs to consider the entire group of people.

Ge Shaoxiong's overtures were not just about giving money, but also about taking sides.

After hanging up the phone, Li Zhongying couldn't help but sigh, "Power can generate money; having power means having money."

He made the right choice in choosing his new backer. One day, he will definitely be able to move out of the rented house with his wife and children and buy a luxury sea-view mansion!
During a visit to the hospital, Inspector Shi learned that the funerals for the two fallen men would be held next week. Overwhelmed with sorrow, Inspector Shi said sadly, "Please apologize to their families for me."

Lin Tiansheng shook his head slightly: "Those who are on duty, they expected this day to come. Inspector Pi applied for the Medal of Honor for them."

"call."

Shi Zhanpeng lay on the bed, as if relieved of a heavy burden: "That's good."

Although the Medal of Honor does not lead to promotion, it is still a form of recognition, and recipients enjoy higher benefits in terms of compensation and education for orphans.

"Tell me what's on your mind, I'll take it with me."

Lin Tiansheng stood at the head of the bed. After experiencing the shooting funeral at the Chinese Permanent Cemetery, Lin Tiansheng composed himself and drove to the Wan Chai Police Headquarters the next morning.

After parking the car in the open-air parking lot and reporting my badge number at the front desk, I followed the directions to the Public Relations Department's Media Room on the seventh floor of the Wai Kin Building. Two TV directors and celebrity guest "Hui Siu-hung" were chatting with Madam Hung Po-lin from the Public Relations Department, holding disposable paper cups and drinking tea.

With so many assistants coming and going from the General Administration of Customs, Lin Tiansheng's arrival went unnoticed by the directors and artists.

Hong Baolian recognized him at a glance, and walked up to him in her high heels to greet him: "Inspector Lin, it's been a long time."

“Madam.” Lin Tiansheng looked at Hong Baolian, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it, turning it into a long-lost sense of emotion.

Damn it, the Hong Baolian I remember was young, beautiful, and had a perfect figure. The Madam Hong in front of me had deep nasolabial folds, short hair, and a hat. She looked dashing, but her facial features were perfectly overlapping. It was definitely the same person.

Previously, Hung Po-lin had just graduated from the police academy and, as one of the very few female police officers, was assigned to work at the Wan Chai police station, in the same district as Lam Tin-shing.

Once, Lok Gor and Lam Kong came to Wan Chai for dinner and saw Hung Po-lin, who had just finished work. They immediately had someone tie her up and put her in the car, and the two of them had a party together. Afterwards, the "Five Poisons Detective" was responsible for taking photos.

However, Hong Baolian has long since integrated into the world of men. With her red-nailed hands clasped together with Lin Tiansheng, she said approvingly, "You did a very good job."

"Thank you, Madam."

Beauty is a sin, and the unfortunate will spend their lives atoning for it.

"Let me introduce you. This is Detective Lam from the West Kowloon Major Crimes Unit, the commander of the arms trafficking case." Hong Baolian had long since forgotten about what happened back then, and stood in the middle to introduce them: "Director He, who is in charge of today's magazine photoshoot; Director Wang, who is in charge of the television program recording. Mr. Xu, do you know him?"

Lin Tiansheng suppressed his surprise and stopped thinking about the past. What's past is past; focus on the present. He smiled and shook hands with the three of them, saying, "Yes, I know you. I've read Xu Sheng's 'The Man in the Net'."

Xu Shaoxiong, with his round face and narrow eyes, wearing round-framed glasses, clasped his hands together in a cheerful manner, which was quite comical: "Inspector Lin has solved a major case and has a bright future ahead of him."

The future Best Supporting Actor in "TVB Anniversary Awards" was already a top-tier supporting actor in the 1980s, switching between ATV and TVB, making him a highly sought-after actor.

"Police Report" couldn't get big names like Chow Yun-fat or Felix Wong; they only invited first- or second-tier artists.

Hong Baolian raised the Cartier watch in her hand, looked at the clock, and said, "There's no time to lose. Let's get started. Let's begin with the magazine cover shoot. Take Lin Sir to get his makeup done."

Director He laughed and said, "Inspector Lin, follow me."

The copyright for "Police Report" belongs to the police force. It is recorded by the Public Relations Department and airs every Wednesday at 8 PM on Hong Kong Television's free channel 31 (31A). Interviews, makeup, and editing are all done inside the Wai Kin Building.

Xu Shaoxiong was sitting next to Lin Tiansheng getting his makeup done. Male celebrities have light makeup, and it only took forty minutes to finish. When he got up to look in the mirror, he put his arm around Lin Sir's arm and said with a smile, "Lin Sir is so handsome. If you were to become an artist, you would definitely be more famous than me."

Lin Tiansheng smiled and said in a friendly tone, "It's easy to be more famous than you for a while, but it's hard to be more famous than you for a lifetime."

Xu Shaoxiong is a true evergreen star, having played "Zhu Baiqiang" in the 1970s, "Xu Zhaodong" in the 1980s, "Huang Qifa" in the 1990s, and "Brother Huanxi" after the millennium.

In the photography studio, Lin Tiansheng, dressed in a green military uniform with a police rank insignia, his hat brim straight, and his face resolute, changed poses under the flashing lights.

Hong Baolian stood with her arms crossed, staring straight at the doorway, a faint smile on her lips: "Our star attraction needs to be handsome."
