Chapter 81 Job Rotation, Trial Operation

"What position will you be transferred to?" After a moment of silence, Director Huang continued to ask.

"Head of the Criminal Investigation Department at headquarters combats organized crime"

"He got promoted, and he's being transferred back to headquarters as the head of an important department. Countless people would kill to get that position," Director Huang said, giving a thumbs up.

"Our connections back home have really come into play," Li Hua said calmly.

"What about Brother De?"

"I spoke with William, and he's being promoted to senior inspector and will stay in Saigon to keep an eye on things if anyone dares to cause trouble..."

"I understand," Director Huang interrupted him, just as the waiter knocked on the door to serve the food.

After the waiter left, Cao Tai smiled and asked, "Is this something I should be listening to?"

Director Huang blinked his small eyes behind his glasses and said curiously, "Given your relationship with Brother De, what is there that you can't hear?"

Oh, right, I just remembered that I also have the identity of a villager from Mangongwu, and I am a fellow villager and relative of Mr. Yu Defang. Then there's no problem.

"I want to transfer Wenbin to the anti-gangster unit," Li Hua continued.

"Would Inspector Lee agree? After all, Choi Yuen-kei is his confidant. Isn't it normal to put his only son under his confidant's command so that he can be taken care of?" The Inspector Lee that Chief Inspector Wong was referring to was of course not the one in front of him, but the Chief Superintendent squatting at headquarters.

"The West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit is full of talent now, one more won't make a difference. And it seems like the triads on Hong Kong Island are about to fall into chaos. With his arrival, he will definitely stand out and take that step faster." Inspector Li picked up a piece of char siu with alternating layers of fat and lean meat.

"Promote him? Will he follow us? Inspector Li is still wavering. You may not know this in Saigon, but I see it clearly. That top-ranking officer in Saigon is getting too close to your hometown people now." Director Huang curled his lip, seemingly very dissatisfied with someone.

"I worked with Man-Bin when I first came to Hong Kong Island. Although he was only a senior police officer at the time, he was already very opinionated and had his own principles. As long as he stands on the side of stability in Hong Kong Island, he is one of us."

"You look exactly like a foreign spy right now," Huang Bingyao said, as if making a joke.

"Even within a family, it's not always possible to reach a consensus on everything, let alone in a vast country where diverse political views are the norm."

"Some people thrive on chaos, while others crave tranquility." Li Hua smiled, seemingly immune to Huang Bingyao's veiled sarcasm.

"It's good that you have an idea." Seeing that Li Hua seemed to have made a decision, Director Huang didn't dare to offer any further objections.

Although Mr. Cao was busy cooking, he still overheard a secret.

The lunch lasted for almost an hour. After paying the bill, Huang Bingyao got up to say goodbye to the two men.

Cao Tai suddenly spoke up and asked, "Old Huang, do you know anything about the police officers involved in Huo Zhaotang's kidnapping case?"

"Huo Zhaotang? Police? Those guys from the prison?" Old Huang was completely baffled.

"right"

"Why ask them? They're all employees from East Kowloon. They've already been convicted of violating the code of conduct and causing death by negligence. They're already in jail, four years in total."

"So, are they innocent?"

"No, although there are extenuating circumstances, it is a big mistake to violate the rules by following a private promise from a superior. Dong Jiu only marginalized that guy because of the order, otherwise we would have seen another uproar at the lower levels."

But I just despise those guys who profit from others' misfortunes and then betray them. Do you remember my rant? It's been over half a year.

"I understand."

"What do you know that makes you know so much? Why do you only say half of what you mean? Hey, I can't be bothered with you. Edward, I'm leaving now." With that, he put on his long trench coat, opened the door, and walked out with his belly protruding.

"Those guys are considered elites in the police force. When I was working in the PTU, they had all served under me in the mobile unit and basically had combat experience."

However, there's a bad apple in there. If you want them to do your job, you need to find a capable and well-connected lawyer to help you, and there's a chance you can get them out.

"Let's just leave that rotten apple in there and let it mold," Li Hua said.

Mr. Cao nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.

Cao Tai's sudden question about the police officers was also a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Currently, my team consists mainly of offensive personnel, and I'd like to add some defensive specialists.

The retired G4 officers in the police force are not very willing to be used, so they will choose people from other departments. It seems that the elite police officers who were tricked into prison by their superiors are unlikely to be rats.

"As long as you understand basic risk assessment and can develop simple security plans, that's enough. You're not trying to build a top-notch security team."

Instead of having William drive him, Cao Tai contacted Xiao Fu directly to pick him up.

Sitting in the passenger seat of the brand-new Mercedes-Benz 500SEL, Cao Tai opened the window a crack to let in some fresh air.

"Have you found out anything?" Cao Tai suddenly asked.

"The address is on Victoria Road, and the villa is called Leju," a large sea-view villa. However, the neighbors are not far away, and the villas are only separated by some green plants. Xiao Fu was focused on driving.

Where are they?

"After monitoring for several days, only some workers came and went, and the food they bought didn't look like the owner was at home."

"It looks like we'll have to wait a bit longer," Cao Tai sighed helplessly.

Guan Caiba is not currently in Hong Kong Island, and only his wife, Cheng Siying, knows his Swiss bank account number and password. Considering that this woman resides in Malaysia, it seems he can only wait for another opportunity.

"Red Bean Apparel" on Queen's Road Central.

This is a clothing store that specializes in selling fashionable women's clothing. The store name was decided by Ms. Wang and directly used Ms. Li's name.

The designer actually has a good eye. After the 900-square-foot shop was renovated, it looked absolutely stunning and incredibly stylish when the lights were on.

The clothing display area and the flow of movement in and out of the store were designed very reasonably. If it weren't for the fact that some materials were not yet available, the decoration would be no different from that of high-end clothing stores in later generations.

The clothing sold in the store was designed by a young designer who graduated from the fashion design program at a polytechnic institute. The design process took into account Mr. Cao's opinions extensively, as well as some of the opinions of Ms. Wang and Ms. Li.

As soon as the design was completed, someone immediately sent it to Mr. Cao's garment factory in Pengcheng for OEM production.

The "Hongdou Clothing" women's fashion store is currently in trial operation. In addition to Wang and Li, the store has also hired two sales assistants.

"Welcome... to, uh..." As Cao Taigang pushed open the glass door and walked into the clothing store, a saleswoman who was arranging clothes heard the doorbell ring. She turned around to greet him, but saw a man walk into the women's clothing store and was caught off guard, so she stammered.

"Hello sir, how can I help you?" The saleswoman reacted quickly, the slight surprise on her face disappearing in an instant, replaced by a sweet smile as she asked.

"Yes, I'm looking for your boss!"

"Uh..." The salesperson hesitated.

The two bosses are quite outstanding, and recently they've been attracting a lot of unwanted suitors who come to deliver flowers and such. Even though the bosses have scolded them a few times, those people still haven't given up and often show up whenever they have free time.

This guy looks tall and has long legs, is well-dressed, and quite handsome. But he didn't even bring a bouquet of flowers when he came to pursue the boss. It's such a stark contrast!

"Sir, I'm sorry, our boss is unavailable right now, otherwise you could..."

"What brings you here?" At that moment, the cashier, dressed in a "Red Bean" brand business suit, appeared from behind a screen next to the cashier.
