It's not fair to say that Xu Huayan, Zhang Zhiyong, and Deng Wei were cowardly; rather, the Hong Kong Island Police Special Branch had an extremely bad reputation on Hong Kong Island.
Anyone suspected of being a suspect can enter a labor union, social organization, or private residence to arrest someone at any time and in any place without any procedures. This alone is enough to shock everyone in any social organization.
If you encounter officers from other departments, they might say a few words to you, and you have the right to remain silent. But if you encounter an officer whose uniform has "SB" printed on it, there's no reason whatsoever; they'll just send you straight in.
'tap tap tap~'
At this moment, a series of footsteps approached from afar, reaching the ears of Xu Huayan, Zhang Zhiyong, and Deng Wei. In this environment, the footsteps felt like they were stepping on the hearts of the three men, adding a touch of terror to the already somewhat gloomy room.
A dozen seconds later, a middle-aged man in a gray suit walked into the room where Xu Huayan and the other two were. Looking at Xu Huayan, Zhang Zhiyong, and Deng Wei, he said with a forced smile, "Gentlemen, I am Wang Ailin, the police superintendent of the Political Department. I'm sorry to call you over so late and disturb your rest."
"..."
Faced with Wang Ailin's politeness, Xu Huayan, Zhang Zhiyong, and Deng Wei remained silent, as they genuinely didn't know how to respond.
Fortunately, Wang Ailin did not intend to let them reply. He continued, "The reason I called you three over tonight is very simple: Li Jun crossed the line and went too far. The higher-ups are very dissatisfied with him."
“Permanent deportation is far from enough to punish Li Jun. We hope that the influence of Li Jun’s name will disappear from Hong Kong Island forever.”
At this point, Wang Ailin revealed an extremely fake and ugly smile: "This requires the help of the three of you."
"Superintendent Wong, just tell us what you want us to do."
After listening to Wang Ailin's words, Xu Huayan pondered for a moment before speaking first.
Xu Huayan wholeheartedly agreed that the Political Department wanted to eliminate the influence of Li Jun and Hong Xing, but the only problem was what the people in the Political Department wanted them to do.
Xu Huayan disliked Li Jun, but he also disliked the Political Department, even though his position as a new secretary was secured by foreigners.
Or to put it another way, nobody on Hong Kong Island likes the Special Branch, except for those foreign high-ranking officials who are comfortable using them.
“It’s very simple. I want you to launch a full-scale attack on Hung Hing starting tomorrow. I believe that Hung Hing won’t be able to withstand the combined attack of your three triads for long. At that time, they will hold a meeting to discuss how to deal with your attack.”
"At that time, you can directly behead the senior members of Hung Hing and wipe them out in one battle."
Wang Ailin spoke slowly, word by word.
"Our gang was fighting so fiercely, and the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau..."
Xu Huayan was interrupted by Wang Ailin as soon as he opened his mouth, "Our political department will handle things with the O-Division. You don't need to worry about it. Just do your own jobs well."
"Superintendent Wang, there's one more question. What will we gain after this is over?"
Zhang Zhiyong asked the question that was of most concern to all three of them.
“You can take over Hung Hing, and whatever happens in the process, the Hong Kong Island Police Force will not interfere.”
Wang Ailin spoke slowly.
From the very beginning, the Political Department had no intention of giving senior members of Hung Hing a way out, since it was the dead who brought the most peace of mind.
After hearing Wang Ailin's words, Xu Huayan, Zhang Zhiyong, and Deng Wei exchanged glances. Finally, Xu Huayan, as the representative, spoke up: "Superintendent Wang, our three gangs will definitely fully cooperate with your political department's operation."
After Xu Huayan finished speaking, Wang Ailin revealed an extremely ugly and awkward smile: "The three of you, our Political Department will not forget you this time."
"Fuck your mother, you'd better not remember me."
While cursing Wang Ailin in his heart, Xu Huayan said with a smile, "Superintendent Wang, we are all citizens of Hong Kong Island, and it is only right that we cooperate with the police."
"That's only right!"
Wang Ailin smiled slightly and spoke slowly.
……
the other side.
While Wang Ailin was meeting with Xu Huayan, Zhang Zhiyong, and Deng Wei at the "White House," an uninvited guest also arrived at the home of Chief Superintendent Li Wenbin of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau.
‘Ding dong~’
That evening, Li Wenbin was watching a new drama series, "Criminal Storm," on Asia Television with his son, Li Jiajun (from the movie "Cold War").
After Li Jieying took over Asia Television, Li Jun immediately carried out a major operation comparable to plastic surgery, turning Asia Television into a machine dedicated to producing programs and filming TV dramas.
All dramas produced by Asia Television have changed from the previous process of filming, dubbing, editing, and airing to a model where each episode is filmed and broadcast immediately, with filming taking place while the series is being broadcast.
Whether it's a TV series or a program, if the data is bad, it's immediately canceled. This model quickly produces high-quality works, like the currently airing "Criminal Storm," which was produced by Wang Sanri, whom Li Jun poached with a hefty sum. It immediately became a ratings hit upon its release.
Of course, this model also has its downsides. Everyone involved is exhausted – actors, directors, costume designers, makeup artists, editors, and voice actors all work through the night. But there's no way around it; Li Jun has given them so much. No matter how tired they are, as long as the show becomes a hit, they can grit their teeth and persevere.
At this moment, Wang Sanri no longer resented Ye Qiu for "poaching" him to the Asia TV Tower, because at Asia TV, he could fully utilize his talents. Here, there were no annoying supervisors, no annoying producers, and not even annoying cost-cutting measures. Here, there were only two words: results!
"Dad, when I grow up, I want to be a criminal investigator, just like the one on TV, to punish evil and uphold the law!"
Li Jiayuan watched the handsome male protagonist on TV effortlessly arrest a criminal, then turned to his father and shouted.
"You must study hard first. Only after you have studied well can you become a policeman and catch bad guys."
Li Wenbin said calmly.
"No, to catch bad guys, you need to be good at fighting and a good shot. The detectives on TV aren't well-educated."
Li Jiajun pointed out his father's mistake.
“Jiajun, even back in your grandfather’s time, you had to be able to read 3000 characters to join the police force. When you grow up, the requirements for the police force will only be higher, you…”
‘Dong dong dong~’
At that moment, a knock on the door interrupted Li Wenbin's words.
Upon hearing the knock, Li Wenbin's brow furrowed slightly. He subconsciously touched the pistol at his waist before getting up, walking to the door, and opening it.
"Chief Superintendent Lee Man-bin of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau?"
What came into Li Wenbin's view was a bald, blond foreigner, about the same age as himself. Upon seeing him, the foreigner immediately asked about his identity.
"who are you?"
Li Wenbin's hand was already reaching for his waist.
"Li Sir, don't be nervous. I am Shi Xun, the Deputy Director of the Special Branch. I have something I'd like to discuss with you."
Another deputy minister of the political department was standing in front of Li Wenbin at that moment.
The two deputy ministers of the political department also had their own division of labor: Hao Dejie was in charge of social affairs, while Shi Xun was in charge of government affairs.
"Commander Shi, please come in."
Although Shi Xunzhao, as the Deputy Director of the Political Department, was only a Senior Superintendent, one rank lower than Li Wenbin, Li Wenbin treated him very politely, somewhat like a subordinate treating a superior.
The reason is simple: the Special Branch has a different rank than the police force. As long as you leave the Special Branch and join the police force, you can be promoted three ranks immediately.
If Shi Xun were transferred to another department of the police force, he would immediately be promoted to Senior Assistant Commissioner, in charge of a major department of the police force, two levels higher than Li Wenbin's Chief Superintendent.
"Jiajun, I need to talk to this uncle about something. You can go to sleep after 10:30."
Li Wenbin gave an instruction to Li Jiayuan and then led Shi Xun to the study on the second floor.
"Li Sir, your son is very cute."
After entering the study, Shi Xun first exchanged pleasantries with Li Wenbin.
But it was clear that Li Wenbin didn't like this kind of small talk. He went straight to the point and said, "Commander Shi, what do you want to see me about? Just say it!"
As the Chief Superintendent of the police force, Lee Man-bin is more familiar with the Special Branch than the average person, and also more 'disgusted' with it.
Because the political department not only targets civilians, but also cracks down harder on people in other government departments.
“Inspector Lee, the thing I asked you to do tonight is very simple, but I was afraid my men would misrepresent my intentions, so I came here in person to tell you that from tomorrow until the Hung Hing triad is destroyed, your Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) should not interfere in any matter that happens in the Hong Kong triads.”
Shi Xun looked at Li Wenbin and spoke slowly, word by word.
"Commander Shih, what if people die? What if many people die? What if the OTC doesn't take responsibility? What if the media exposes this? Who will take the blame?"
Li Wenbin was clearly very dissatisfied with Shi Xun's orders.
“Li sir, you only need to focus on doing your job. You don’t need to worry about anything else. We will take care of it for you.”
Shi Xun stared at Li Wenbin and said with a smile.
"I'm curious, what is your political department trying to do?"
After listening to Shi Xun's words, Li Wenbin did not dwell on the Political Department's order, but instead asked for the reason.
"Li! Jun!"
Although Shi Xun's words were concise, they stirred up a storm in Li Wenbin's heart.
He had thought that the foreigners wouldn't let Li Jun off easily, at least not just permanently deport him, but he never expected that the foreigners would directly send the political department to take action.
It's important to know that on Hong Kong Island, the Special Branch's power surpasses that of the police force and the ICAC.
If the police force and the ICAC are the two sharp swords used to maintain foreign rule, then the Special Branch is the gun in the hands of the foreigners.
After pondering for a long time, Li Wenbin nodded and said, "Okay, I will do as your political department arranges."
“Inspector Li, we are also fighting against the triads in Hong Kong. We all have the same goal, just different methods.”
After seeing that Li Wenbin had agreed, Shi Xun smiled slightly and said calmly.
"..."
After hearing Shi Xun's words, Li Wenbin remained silent.
"Li sir, it seems we don't have much in common. I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye."
Seeing Li Wenbin's expression, Shi Xun chose to leave immediately.
