Hong Kong variety show: I'm actually the villain Kwan Cho!

Time flies, and it's already been three days since we started work after the New Year holiday.

Just as Guan Zu was sitting in his office, thinking about what kind of business his mother would be suited for, the phone on his desk rang.

Upon picking it up, I saw: Li Wenbin.

Without thinking twice, I answered the phone: "Officer Li!"

"Where are you?" Li Wenbin's slightly hoarse voice came through.

"Office, sir!" Guan Zu raised an eyebrow. Was something wrong?

"Come to my office!" After saying that, Li Wenbin hung up the phone without hesitation.

Guan Zu didn't dare to delay, so he grabbed a coat and left.

A few minutes later, Guan Zu arrived at Li Wenbin's office. Upon entering, he was surprised to find another person in the office.

This guy looks just like Alex Fong, except for the flower on his shoulder!

This is the Deputy Commissioner of Police!

Li Wenbin's immediate supervisor!

He immediately stood at attention, not daring to be negligent, and greeted, "Li sir!" He then turned to the deputy director and said, "He sir!"

Just kidding, how could I not recognize him? This big shot's photo is in the second row of the police officer's list.

Li Wenbin nodded: "Inspector He, I need to ask someone for help with something, and I recommend you!"

Guan Zu was taken aback and turned to look at Deputy Director He.

He Shichang glanced at Guan Zu, then pointed to the sofa: "Sit!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Zu didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on the sofa, quietly waiting for the other party to speak.

He Shichang stood up and paced back and forth a few steps before picking up a folder from the table.

Leaning against Li Wenbin's desk, he opened a folder and began to read:

Two years ago, on February 2nd, a highway robbery occurred in Canada, in which seven guards of the Bank of Canada were killed and the color-changing ink used for printing banknotes was stolen.

In June of the same year, the Marin guerrillas in the Golden Triangle were attacked, resulting in 82 deaths and 157 injuries.

On October 10th last year, there was an arson murder at a dyeing factory in Tuen Mun.

That afternoon, at a hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui, Canadian police officer Lee Wing-cheol and art dealer Lok Man were murdered!

At this point, He Shichang closed the folder in his hand and casually placed it on his desk.

Then, looking at Guan Zu, he continued, "These cases are suspected to be the work of an international counterfeit currency syndicate, committed by a man nicknamed 'The Painter.'"

A few days ago, my daughter, He Weilan, an inspector in the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit.

A man named Li Wen was extradited from a Thai prison.

He is currently suspected of being a member of the "Painter" international counterfeit money ring.

The rest of the group are now confirmed dead.

Currently, only one person knows who the "painter" is, and that is Li Wen!

"Originally, we could have just taken our time with the trial, but..." He Shichang paused here,

He turned around, picked up his water glass, took a sip, and then slowly said, "Because the Canadian policeman who died in the Tsim Sha Tsui hotel, Li Yongzhe, was my daughter's fiancé!"

So my daughter got a little anxious and secretly forged some evidence, wanting to sue Li Wen in order to force him to reveal who the painter was.

Unexpectedly, internationally renowned painter Ruan Wen, accompanied by a group of lawyers, suddenly appeared and offered to bail Li Wen out.

The team was led by YT, a well-known barrister in Hong Kong, who also brought a large number of influential people who personally provided guarantee letters.

Among them are many owners of multinational corporations, and most importantly, a member of the Executive Council.

These people said they were entrusted by Nguyen Van to act as guarantors for Li Wen's release, and Nguyen Van also said that if these people's influence was not enough, she could call in more high-ranking officials and wealthy people.

The current situation is that we are negotiating with the other party, and we must allow Li Wen to be released on bail as long as he reveals who the "painter" is!

So, I would like to ask you to help my daughter by going with her to meet this Li Wen, to see if what he said is true, and to see if we can catch the "painter".

"Avenge my son-in-law!"

Actually, when He Shichang appeared, Guan Zu already had a general idea of ​​what was going on. According to the timeline, the story of "Unrivaled" should have ended, but it turned out to be happening now.

After thinking about the whole incident, Guan Zu nodded to He Shichang and said, "Inspector He, I can agree to help you with this, but..." He hesitated for a moment, then continued, "I want to confirm a few things with you first!"

He Shichang frowned slightly upon hearing Guan Zu's words, but still said, "Go ahead and speak!"

Guan Zu briefly organized his thoughts: "This case is actually quite simple. It's just about finding the 'painter.' The fact that your daughter framed him isn't really that important; it's just something to scare Li Wen right now."

"Then what's your problem?" He Shichang was a little displeased. His daughter had gone to great lengths to find the "painter," even going so far as to frame someone, but to you it was so simple and unimportant!

Kwan Cho ignored Ho Sai Cheong's emotions: "I heard you just say that the list of guarantors is very impressive, including not only many multinational corporation bosses, but also members of the Executive Yuan! This is one of the thirty-odd most powerful people in Hong Kong Island."

He Shichang shifted slightly, adjusting his leaning posture: "Yes, it's because of pressure from these people that we had to agree to release Li Wen on bail. The condition was that Li Wen would implicate the 'painter.' They want Li Wen, we want the 'painter.' Actually, there's no conflict. You don't need to worry about them."

Guan Zu shook his head: "That's not how it is, Inspector He, you've overlooked an important issue!"

Li Wenbin became interested: "Oh, what did you overlook?"

He Shichang looked at Guan Zu with great curiosity, waiting for him to continue.

Guan Zu turned to look at Li Wenbin, took a deep breath, and said, "Have you ever thought about why these big shots would jointly bail out a robber and murderer like this?"

Is it because of the famous painter Ruan Wen?

To put it bluntly, although you don't have the same high status as legislators, you are still quite prominent figures in Hong Kong.

Would you bail out a complete stranger who is a murderer just because of the reputation of a so-called "famous painter"?

After listening to Guan Zu's words, Li Wenbin nodded in satisfaction, his eyes full of admiration.

He Shichang blinked and said, "Go on!"

Guan Zu stood up, poured himself a glass of water, took a few sips, and said, "Think about it from a different perspective, don't let that famous painter lead you astray."

Li Wen, or rather, what do "painters" do?

It's an international counterfeit money ring!

Doesn't it make sense that the bosses of these multinational corporations jointly protect someone from an international counterfeit currency ring?

After saying that, he took two more sips of water, inwardly complaining, "All leaders are the same, all they know is to order people around. They don't even offer to offer a glass of water; I have to do it myself!"

After listening, He Shichang nodded thoughtfully: "So what do you mean?"

After finishing his water, Guan Zu sat back down on the sofa and looked up at He Shichang: "I want to ask you, where does this case end? Is it just about finding the 'painter'?"

Or are you looking for something else?

For example: his clients!

He Shichang's brows, which he had finally managed to smooth out, furrowed again. He turned and exchanged a glance with Li Wenbin.

Li Wenbin thought for a moment before speaking, "Auntie, the most urgent thing right now is to find the 'Painter.' You go to West Kowloon to find He Weilan first, and we'll discuss it. This matter has far-reaching implications, and I think we need to see Brother Yi!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Zu stood up and said to the two officers, "Then I'll be going now, goodbye, officers!"

Li Wenbin waved his hand, and Guan Zu went out.

Guan Zu didn't care how the higher-ups played these games. In their eyes, he was still just a junior inspector. He just needed to do his job well and leave a good impression on the higher-ups.

Now that's how I met the deputy director, will the top official also find out my name next?

Lost in thought the whole way, Kwan Cho drove his flashy red Ferrari to the West Kowloon Regional Police Headquarters on Hong Kong Island.

I ran into an acquaintance, Chan Kwok-wing, as soon as I entered.

Chen Guorong greeted Guan Zu warmly, putting his hand on Guan Zu's shoulder: "Not bad! Zu, you caught Wang Bao as soon as you started work, and you've been on TV twice already! No wonder I have high hopes for your future star!"

Guan Zu removed Chen Guorong's arm from his neck. It was quite uncomfortable to have someone a head shorter than him put their arm around his shoulder; it felt like the guy was hanging on him!

He draped his arm over Chen Guorong's shoulder and said, "No one can compare to you, Brother Rong! You're the famous 'Super Cop' of the police force! You've solved countless major cases!"

This time, Chen Guorong removed Guan Zu's arm, and he himself was also uncomfortable: "What are you doing here? Is there a case?"

Guan Zu nodded: "I was conscripted by Inspector He and sent here to help. By the way, you're a local bigwig here, right? Where's He Weilan?"

Upon hearing He Weilan's name, Chen Guorong knew roughly what was going on, but he didn't say much. He simply told Guan Zu the location and then turned and left.

Guan Zu changed his own life, and he also changed Chen Guorong's life. Having skipped a year of depression, Chen Guorong was back to being the spirited "Super Cop!"

Inspector Chan of the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit was extremely busy.
