Hong Kong film: Refusing to go undercover, the policeman's path to becoming the richest man.

Chapter 32 Brainwashing and Dirty Water

"I finally see things clearly."

There was absolutely no misunderstanding from beginning to end!

He gritted his teeth and said, enunciating each word clearly, "From the very beginning, you've been deliberately targeting our entire police force!"

"You did this on purpose!"

Shi Xuan panicked instantly: "No, we really didn't!"

He Chu let out a cold, sneer: "No?"

"Then I'd like to ask you something."

"The police station and the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) are both law enforcement agencies in Hong Kong, and both are highly disciplined forces."

"If your ICAC receives a report and believes there is a case that needs to be investigated, that is indeed your legal right."

"But according to the rules we've established over the years, even if our officers have made a mistake, shouldn't you at least consult with our higher-ups first?"

"Did you notify them?"

Shi Xuan was speechless and couldn't say a word.

What kind of notification is this?!

Throughout the entire process, they did not communicate with the police in any way whatsoever.

He Chu's gaze was piercing as he stared intently into Shi Xuan's eyes: "Shi sir, did you hear the story of the Big Bad Wolf when you were a child?"

Shi Xuan's expression instantly changed: "You actually don't believe what I said?!"

He Chu said with a strong tone of mockery, "If you were in my position, would you believe the nonsense you just said?"

Shi Xuan immediately shut his mouth and could no longer utter a word.

Lin Kuangtian stared in disbelief at the scene before him, feeling utterly impressed by He Chu.

Good heavens, what was clearly a situation where the police were in the wrong at the beginning has been turned into a situation where the ICAC is in the wrong by He Chu's few words.

In truth, the ICAC's failure to notify senior management in advance when investigating police cases is at most a minor procedural flaw, and not a serious problem at all.

However, after He Chu's embellished interpretation, the matter was instantly elevated to an unforgivable level of severity.

Adding to those two so-called "misunderstanding" cases, good heavens, Ho Chu is clearly determined to devour the entire ICAC whole.

Lin Kuangtian's gaze toward He Chu became exceptionally complex, filled with shock and admiration.

This is only the first part of Inspector Ho's entire plan.

If the first part is already so fierce and powerful, what kind of thunderous methods will the second part bring?

Lin Kuangtian couldn't help but sigh, feeling that he had lived most of his life in vain.

As someone who experienced the whole thing firsthand, he knew better than anyone how dangerous the situation they faced was.

If they are not careful, they will face utter ruin.

At that time, Lin Kuangtian had completely given up hope and was ready to give up.

He wasn't the only one who thought this way; even Superintendent Chan thought so at the time.

"This is a dead end with no solution!"

'

Lin Kuangtian had already sentenced himself to death in his mind at that time.

Who would have thought that He Chu would say "no" so firmly!

What dead end?

"This is clearly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

And as it turned out, he truly turned this into an opportunity to turn the tide.

This is simply an extraordinary ability to manipulate events at will.

You do not believe?

Look at Shih Hsuan, the famous elite investigation director of the ICAC. At this moment, this usually high-ranking elite has a face full of shame. Anyone can see that he is really ashamed!

How could he not feel ashamed?

Instead of trusting his fellow police officers, he believed a heinous drug lord.

Having twice misunderstood the police and willingly become a tool in the hands of drug lords, obstructing the police's normal investigations at every turn, how could he not feel ashamed?!

Lin Kuangtian admired He Chu from the bottom of his heart.

This is the kind of leadership our police force should truly have.

"If He Chu could be my boss, I would obey whatever he says without hesitation!"

'

It was only natural that Lin Kuangtian would have such thoughts.

Shi Xuan felt so ashamed after He Chu's words that he wished he could disappear into the ground. He could only grit his teeth and say, "Inspector He, please believe me, this is really just a misunderstanding."

"I will definitely explain this to the specialist properly when I get back."

Shi Xuan was in utter misery.

He now harbors a deep-seated hatred for Commissioner Luo.

It's hard to believe, but the person this ICAC investigation officer hates the most right now is none other than his direct superior, the ICAC Commissioner.

Why don't you, an outsider who knows nothing, just stay put and be your mascot?

They insisted on recklessly interfering in the investigation, showing no regard for their own limitations.

Even Lu Zhilian, the chief investigator, tried to persuade him several times with great effort, but to no avail!

There's nothing we can do; Commissioner Law is a foreigner, and he's practically the boss in the ICAC!

They clearly know nothing, yet they insist on meddling.

Well, now the police have finally found a fatal weakness in him.

Even if I talk myself hoarse, people probably still won't believe me.

Shi Xuan felt a bitter taste in his mouth, and his heart was filled with bitterness as well.

He Chu gently shook his head. "Inspector Shi, I've heard the story of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' too many times. I'll never believe you again."

Well, once He Chu said that, Shi Xuan was speechless.

They've already made it clear they don't believe you, so what can you say?

But remaining silent is absolutely not an option.

They must do everything they can to change the police's impression of them, otherwise the relationship between the police and the Independent Commission Against Corruption will be completely ruined.

Shih Hsuan knew better than anyone what serious consequences would result from completely offending the police department.

Just as he was racking his brains trying to figure out how to turn the situation around, the interrogation room door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Superintendent Chen stride in with a furious expression.

"The paparazzi have confirmed that drug lord Fang Xiangdong is currently in the ICAC commissioner's office."

"That phone call just now actually came from the ICAC Commissioner's office!"

"I have already reported this matter to the boss, and the boss has received direct instructions from the top leader."

"We absolutely cannot let them bully us like this anymore!"

Shi Xuan was so shocked that his mouth dropped open, and a strong sense of foreboding instantly welled up in his heart.

Superintendent Chen shouted sternly, "Ah Chu, take this warrant and go to the ICAC office immediately to bring him back to me!"

"We are simply carrying out normal official duties."

"No matter who it is, if they dare to obstruct you from performing your duties, handcuff them and bring them back!"

Shi Xuan's heart skipped a beat: "This is really going to be a disaster!" Completely panicked, Shi Xuan cried out, "Officers, this is truly a huge misunderstanding!"

He Chu smiled faintly and said, "It was indeed a misunderstanding that you came to the police station twice to invite us back for 'tea,' but our operation this time is definitely not a misunderstanding."

"The senior officer first consulted the boss, who then consulted the top leader. It was the top leader who personally ordered the arrest. This was a complete and legal procedure."

There is absolutely no possibility of a misunderstanding.

Shi Xuan was terrified: "No, no, no, this really is just a misunderstanding."

"Sir, could you let me go back first? I'll personally go and persuade our commissioner."

He Chu looked at him with a "caring" gaze, "What are you thinking about?"

"Let you out?"

"Xiang Dong's case isn't finished yet. Do you think you'll be able to get out?"

Shi Xuan was suddenly stunned, a chill instantly shooting from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. "You're going to detain me here?"

He Chu maintained his smile and said, "You were originally a suspect in this case!"

Superintendent Chan said with a grave expression, "Ah Chu, take your men to the ICAC immediately and demand the person back."

"Uncle Tian, ​​you're in charge of taking a detailed statement from Inspector Shi."

"I need to find out why he was able to enter the police station twice without proper documentation."

"The first time is one thing, you could say ignorance is no excuse."

"But Ah Chu had already given him a clear warning, and he still managed to make the same mistake a second time. I simply don't believe that an elite investigation officer from the ICAC would be so careless."

"I strongly suspect he has other ulterior motives."

Shi Xuan was shocked again: "You can't do this to me!"

Lin Kuangtian slowly tapped the table. "Drug trafficking has always been a top-priority crime in Hong Kong."

"Even ordinary Hong Kong citizens who saw this would call the police immediately."

"And you guys are really something, openly providing him with protection."

"No wonder our police have tried so hard but still couldn't find any trace of them."

"Who would have thought that a heinous drug lord would receive the personal protection of the ICAC Commissioner?"

hiss!

Shi Xuan was completely numb, his mind went blank!

Listen to this, is this even human language?

Lin Kuangtian has directly slapped an enormous label on Commissioner Luo!

He hurriedly said, "The Commissioner's status is extremely prestigious; in Hong Kong, he is second only to the Emperor."

"How could he possibly protect a drug dealer?"

He Chu smiled slightly and said, "But that call did indeed come from the commissioner's office."

Shi Xuan was speechless.

He Chu continued unhurriedly, "Do you know how much reputation Uncle Tian and his team sacrificed to successfully reel in Fang Xiangdong, this big fish?"

"They didn't follow the normal reporting process after obtaining approval from their superiors for that ten million Hong Kong dollars."

"This gave Fang Xiangdong the wrong impression—that the money had been embezzled by Uncle Tian and his group."

Superintendent Chen nodded at the opportune moment, endorsing He Chu's words with an authoritative demeanor.

He Chu was never a talkative person. The reason he kept mentioning the ten million Hong Kong dollars was to brainwash everyone present and to give them strong psychological suggestions.

If you say something too often, even if it's a lie, people will gradually start to believe it's true.

Even Lin Kuangtian himself was somewhat dazed: "That ten million Hong Kong dollars was indeed prepared to lure out Fang Xiangdong, wasn't it?"

"Yes, that must be it!"

If even he, the person involved, is like this, it goes without saying that Shi Xuan, who was already feeling guilty, is even more so.

Shi Xuan frowned and said, "So what?"

He Chu smiled slightly and said, "We are police officers who maintain order in Hong Kong. Is it reasonable for the Commissioner to distrust us police officers and instead trust a heinous drug dealer?"

Shi Xuan was stunned again.

Everyone else in the interrogation room was stunned.

Even those listening outside the two-way mirror were lost in deep thought.

The relationship between the police and the Integrity Commission has indeed never been very good.

But if you say that the ICAC commissioner doesn't trust his fellow police officers but instead trusts a drug dealer, that makes absolutely no sense, either from a moral or logical standpoint.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Why would the commissioner do that?

He Chu slowly gave his answer, "After thinking it over and over, I can only think of one possible reason."

Shi Xuan felt his lips were incredibly dry. He cautiously asked, "Officer He, may I ask what the reason is?"

Snapped!

He Chu snapped his fingers crisply.

"This is actually quite easy to explain."

"What Fang Xiangdong wants, our commissioner probably wants too, right?"

Shi Xuan was initially taken aback, but after realizing what was happening, he immediately retorted loudly, "You're talking nonsense!"

Snapped!

He Chu slammed his hands on the center of the table, leaned forward, and stared intently at Shi Xuan: "Then tell me, why doesn't the commissioner trust the police, but instead trusts a drug dealer?"

Shi Xuan was speechless when asked the question.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

There's simply no way to answer that question!

He Chu let out a cold sneer and continued to relentlessly pour dirty water on Commissioner Luo.

He knew in his heart that countless eyes were watching, both inside and outside the interrogation room.

If we don't seize this great opportunity to throw dirty water now, are we going to wait until later?

Just as He Chu had predicted, a large number of people had indeed gathered inside and outside the interrogation room at this moment.

Almost all members of the Major Crimes Unit arrived.

The reason is simple: Shek Suen is the ICAC's investigation officer.

When did the police force become able to interrogate ICAC personnel?

Even if it's just to join in the fun, they're all willing to come and take a look.

That's why everyone from Group A, Group B, and Group C arrived.

Everyone present had their own thoughts.

The people in Group A naturally knew the whole story; they had been instructed by He Chu to keep their mouths shut.

Group C is He Chu's elite force, and they are all very tight-lipped.

But Yuan Haoyun and his group in Group B knew absolutely nothing!

They listened with wide eyes, their faces filled with shock.

Yuan Haoyun was even more convinced of He Chu's judgment: "He sir is absolutely right. I think there's a high chance that the foreign commissioner is after that ten million Hong Kong dollars."

Lu Qichang gently nudged Yuan Haoyun's arm: "Yuan sir, watch your words."

Yuan Haoyun snorted coldly and said, "What's there to hide?"

"Inspector He has already made his point so clear."

"We're not stupid; we can figure it out with a little thought."

"Those foreigners dare to bully us? Do they really think we're easy to bully?"

Yuan Haoyun turned to Lu Qichang and said, "You have a really sharp eye."

"Inspector Ho's reasoning and analytical skills are simply amazing."

"Especially his courage and sense of responsibility are truly admirable."

"How about you let me have him?"

Lu Qichang's expression immediately changed: "Don't even think about it!"

"Ah Chu is the brains of our Group C. Have you ever seen anyone give up their brain to someone else?"

Yuan Haoyun muttered under his breath, "So stingy!"

He originally intended to transfer He Chu to Group B with the mindset of killing two birds with one stone; if it worked out, great, but if not, it wouldn't matter.

Now it seems that they really don't want to give it to him at all.

Then there's nothing he can do.

He pursed his lips and asked, "Was what you said just now true, sir?"

"Are we really going to go to the ICAC to demand their arrest?"

Lu Qichang asked with a smile, "So, do you dare to go?"

Yuan Haoyun thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "We absolutely cannot let anyone bully us. They're just a few foreigners, aren't they?"

"Wow!"

Lu Qichang secretly gave him a thumbs up in his heart: "Yuan Sir is indeed domineering."

""

"But you don't need to go, I bet Achu will go herself."

Yuan Haoyun shook his head and said, "I don't doubt He Sir's abilities, but... if he goes, can he handle it?"

Lu Qichang suddenly spoke up, "If you and Ah Chu are the only two candidates to go to the ICAC to ask for someone, who do you think the Chief Inspector will send?"

Yuan Haoyun looked at Lu Qichang with disbelief: "You mean..."

"Which officer will the senior officer choose?"

The surrounding crowd immediately erupted in uproar.

Yuan Haoyun is a notorious and ruthless detective in the police force.

He was not only exceptionally brave, but also possessed both wisdom and courage.

Judging from Lu Qichang's words, it seems that the big sir appreciates He Chu more.

How is this possible?

Just then, Superintendent Chen pushed open the door and came out, followed by He Chu.

"Inspector Ho, take your men to the ICAC immediately and bring Fang Xiangdong back to me." "Understood, this is the Commissioner's personal order!"
