Chapter 449: Officer George is Mr. Lin's Man
"Are you mistaken about something?"
"I am still the head of the Political Department."
"Only the Political Department slanders others; no one slanders the Political Department."
"Remember this, absolutely."
Chan Kwok-chung, Yeung Chi-lung, and Chu Wah-biu were dumbfounded.
That's right, Officer George is the Chief of the Police Political Department.
At the Police Station, which department had the worst reputation? It wasn't actually the Internal Affairs Department—although the Internal Affairs Department, which was always trying to investigate police officers, had a bad reputation, it was generally acceptable.
Except for the Political Department, none could compare!
Not only were all members of the Political Department Foreigners, but crucially, their police ranks were extremely high, and they held the most power.
Even the Police Commissioner could not interfere with the Political Department's cases.
This was a monstrous department, specifically set up by the Foreigners to monitor Chinese police officers.
How powerful was this department?
The appointment of the head of the Political Department was not decided by the Police Commissioner; it was a direct appointment from the Governors Office.
Rumor had it that the Governors Office merely conveyed the message; the actual appointment came from London, from the Anglo-Saxon Telecom Office.
Chu Wah-biu thought for a moment and said:
"Officer, although I hate Jian Ren Guan's false accusation against me."
"But we are police officers; we must act according to the rules."
George looked at him in surprise:
"Someone is literally shitting on your head, and you still want to maintain the rules?"
Chu Wah-biu nodded solemnly:
"I am a police officer."
"I must abide by the rules of a police officer!"
Chan Kwok-chung was noncommittal; he was also willing to follow the rules, provided the rules could be implemented.
When rules could not punish evil people, he was not willing to follow any rules.
The Dark Night Judge Seraph would appear, and Chan Kwok-chung would punish the wicked in his own way.
Yeung Chi-lung sighed inwardly.
His classmate was truly naive.
Law is not above human sentiment.
Does the Police Station not care about human sentiment?
Completely wrong.
This was especially true for the Police Station controlled by Foreigners.
Just look at the ICAC's targeting, and you'd know that the Foreigners' human sentiment was everywhere.
Neither of them spoke, both wanting to see how George would handle it.
George watched Chu Wah-biu silently; the latter was very persistent.
"You were framed by Jian Ren Guan, even if you are about to be dismissed, about to leave the Police Station, you still want to stick to the rules?"
Chu Wah-biu said earnestly:
"That's right."
"If I can't be a police officer, I'll go be a firefighter."
"What I believe in is fairness and justice."
"I became a police officer to punish criminals, for justice."
George looked at Chu Wah-biu in disbelief.
This guy was talking about justice in a Police Station controlled by Foreigners.
It was truly not easy for him to have survived until now.
"I will give you justice!"
George looked at the astonished trio faintly.
"You probably don't understand the Political Department."
"Officer Guan's matter is actually very easy to handle."
"We, the Political Department, are also responsible for some things."
Chu Wah-biu was silent for a moment, then said solemnly:
"Thank you, Officer."
George clapped his hands:
"The three-person special team is now established."
"Isa will announce your appointments to the entire Police Station."
"Corresponding permissions will also be given to you."
"I want you three to cooperate sincerely and bring the Professor to justice."
"As for Officer Zhu's matter, I'll take care of it."
"Any other questions?"
Chan Kwok-chung frowned:
"Can't we act in advance?"
George shook his head:
"I remind you again, don't count on the Foreigners in the Police Station."
"They don't care what the Professor will do at all."
"Those Foreigners' minds are currently focused on the eighty million US dollars."
"Put away your naive ideas."
"Isa!"
Elizabeth immediately said:
"Officer, I'm here."
George instructed:
"You are now their communicator."
"You will also be responsible for liaising with various Police Stations."
Elizabeth said solemnly:
"Yes, Officer."
George said to everyone:
"You do your work."
"I'm going to handle Officer Guan's matter for Officer Zhu."
Chan Kwok-chung and the other two looked at George in surprise, who asked, puzzled:
"Is that not right?"
Chan Kwok-chung said directly:
"We were only seconded for five days... I really didn't expect the Officer to actually solve this matter for Ah Biao."
The straightforward Chu Wah-biu nodded repeatedly.
Yeung Chi-lung said:
"If the Officer wants to solve such a matter, he will also offend Officer Smith, right?"
Smith was Jian Ren Guan's superior, a Foreigner Senior Superintendent.
George said contemptuously:
"What is Smith?"
"Even if Officer Guan's superior is the Police Commissioner, I will still handle it."
"Today, Officer Zhu's resolution will be out."
"You just wait."
With that, George left directly.
Yeung Chi-lung sighed:
"As expected of Officer George of the Political Department, he is truly domineering."
Chan Kwok-chung pulled out his phone and dialed a number.
Chu Wah-biu asked curiously:
"Are we starting to act already?"
Chan Kwok-chung shook his head:
"No, I'm calling Mr. Lin."
Chu Wah-biu was startled:
"Mr. Lin?"
"You still have Mr. Lin's phone number?"
Yeung Chi-lung was also quite surprised.
Chan Kwok-chung asked curiously:
"Didn't Officer George say that the three of us were recommended by Mr. Lin?"
"We need to discuss the details, after all."
Yeung Chi-lung gently patted his forehead:
"At least don't say these things in front of Deputy Officer Isa."
Isa smiled:
"No problem, you can just chat."
"Oh, Officer Zhu, please say hello to Mr. Lin for me."
Chan Kwok-chung was quite surprised:
"Deputy Officer Isa knows Mr. Lin?"
Isa explained:
"I had the honor of visiting Mr. Lin's residence."
Hiss!
Chan Kwok-chung gasped.
What was going on?
Mr. Lin actually had deep connections with the big shots of the Political Department?
How was this different from the news he had received?
Before he could ponder, the call connected.
"Officer Chen, why would you think of calling me?"
"Is something wrong?"
Chan Kwok-chung quickly said:
"Mr. Lin, we are at the Political Department, Ah Long and Ah Biao are also here, Officer George said that we were recommended by you."
Lin Feng smiled:
"George is quite fast."
"That's right, you were recommended by me."
"I know your worries, don't worry, George is one of us."
"He won't be involved in drug trafficking anymore."
"You know my temper; anyone who dares to traffic drugs in Hong Kong will not end well."
"Be careful with the Professor's matter."
"According to the information I received... he has now escaped from prison."
"You were recommended by me, so don't lose face for me."
Chan Kwok-chung suppressed his shock and quickly said:
"Deputy Officer Isa sends her regards."
Lin Feng chuckled:
"Then please thank the beautiful Deputy Officer Isa for me."
Chan Kwok-chung hung up the phone, first saying to Isa:
"Mr. Lin thanks the beautiful Deputy Officer for her greetings."
Isa repeatedly thanked him:
"Thank you, Officer Chen."
Chan Kwok-chung said loudly:
"Everyone, Mr. Lin has sent news that the Professor has escaped from prison!"
What?!
Yeung Chi-lung, Chu Wah-biu, and Elizabeth were greatly alarmed:
"How could that be?"
Chan Kwok-chung said in a deep voice:
"Deputy Officer Isa, I need the details of the Professor's prison escape."
"As soon as possible."
"Also, inform Officer George about this matter."
Chu Wah-biu's mouth hung open:
"Are you crazy?"
"Officer George actually said it was true?"
"How is that possible?"
"Headquarters is so heavily guarded, how could he still escape?"
Yeung Chi-lung shook his head:
"We don't know the specific situation. If it's really a prison escape, then perhaps the three of us will have to go to the scene."
Chan Kwok-chung nodded solemnly.
All three of them were elites of the Police Station.
But no matter how elite they were, they were at a loss without intelligence.
Fortunately, Isa's intelligence arrived immediately:
"The Professor has indeed escaped."
"But he didn't escape from Headquarters."
"The Professor was hijacked while being transported to Stanley Prison."
"Four of the officers transporting the prison van died on the spot, and one is in the hospital, unconscious."
Yeung Chi-lung immediately said:
"We'll go to the hospital now to see the officer."
Chan Kwok-chung and the others naturally had no objections.
Elizabeth gave the three new identification documents:
"The Officer instructed that during your time on the special task force, you are members of the Political Department."
"Your codename is B3 SWAT."
Chu Wah-biu scratched his head:
"B3?"
Elizabeth calmly explained:
"BIG 3!"
Yeung Chi-lung smiled:
"I like this name."
Elizabeth said:
"I have already entered your names into the database."
"If you handle this case properly, then you might be seconded to the Security Bureau in the future."
Chan Kwok-chung waved his hand:
"Let's talk about that later."
"We need to go to the hospital immediately."
Elizabeth was completely unfazed; capable people always had strong personalities, and she had seen it before.
"No problem!"
The three immediately set off. Chan Kwok-chung said:
"You can park your cars in the parking lot first; get in my car first. It's better for the three of us to act together."
Yeung Chi-lung and Chu Wah-biu had no objections.
On the way, Chu Wah-biu asked curiously, "Officer Chen, you actually know Mr. Lin?"
Chan Kwok-chung smiled and said, "Don't you know him?"
"Mr. Lin is our Police Station's biggest benefactor."
Chu Wah-biu was particularly puzzled: "Biggest benefactor?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Yeung Chi-lung sighed, "Ah Biao, your work ethic is beyond reproach, but your interpersonal skills are lacking."
"Solving cases is fundamental, but you also need to improve your conduct and interactions."
Chu Wah-biu grumbled, "I joined the Police Force to uphold justice."
"I just need to work hard on cases."
Yeung Chi-lung advised, "I know you're meticulous in your work, and you're not afraid to die when handling cases, always leading the charge."
"Your daring style is known throughout our Police Station."
"But that alone isn't enough. If only you had a slightly better relationship with your superiors, A Guan wouldn't have been able to harm you."
Chan Kwok-chung chimed in, "Officer Yang is right."
"Ah Biao, there are many like you in our Police Force."
"Officer Yuen Ho-Wan, Officer Chan Ka-Kui, Officer Li Ying—these three are even more troublesome than you."
"But even when they cause trouble, nothing happens to them."
"You, however, are different. If you cause trouble... a small-time Jian Ren Guan can make your life hell."
"The reason is that those three have good relationships with their superiors."
Chu Wah-biu was speechless. Those three have good relationships with their superiors?
He doubted it!
Chan Kwok-chung chuckled, "Every time those three cause trouble, someone vouches for them. Even when they cause continuous trouble, no one says anything."
"But you're different."
"As soon as you cause trouble, you'll be criticized immediately, or even demoted... Otherwise, with your achievements, you should have been promoted above Senior Inspector long ago."
"You wouldn't still be a sergeant now."
Chu Wah-biu immediately fell silent.
After a while, he asked, "Is Officer George trustworthy?"
Chan Kwok-chung and Yeung Chi-lung exchanged glances, both showing a slight smile.
Yeung Chi-lung and Chu Wah-biu were classmates from the same period and had the best relationship:
"That depends on how you define it."
"Officer George is Mr. Lin's man."
"I think he can be trusted."
Chu Wah-biu was startled: "Officer George is Mr. Lin's man?"
"Are you mistaken?"
"He's the head of the Political Department and is about to join the Security Bureau."
"He would be Mr. Lin's man?"
Yeung Chi-lung tilted his head and asked, "Do you think he can't do it?"
Chu Wah-biu hesitated for a moment but still gave an affirmative answer: "I know Mr. Lin is very powerful, but there's a limit to how powerful one can be, right?"
"Subduing Officer George... that's too exaggerated."
Yeung Chi-lung asked, "Don't you think Officer George's behavior is very unusual?"
Chu Wah-biu thought for a moment and said, "It is indeed unusual."
"Even though he himself is a Foreigner, he calls the Foreigners in the Police Station 'Foreigners' one after another."
"Especially the officers at Police Station Headquarters, he doesn't seem to care about any of them."
"Even though he's about to take office at the Security Bureau and has countless resources at his disposal, he still gathered the three of us."
"The lowest rank in the Political Department is Senior Inspector."
"What about the three of us?"
"The highest rank among us is Officer Yang's Superintendent."
"And he even gave us the title B3..."
"Officer George seems to distrust the Foreigners."
Chan Kwok-chung smiled and said, "It's more than just distrust."
"If you listen carefully, you'll find that Officer George's attitude towards Police Station Headquarters is not just simple mockery."
"He's practically cursing them out."
"He's openly and covertly condemning the corruption at Police Station Headquarters."
Chu Wah-biu suddenly clapped his hands: "Right!"
"That's what I was going to say."
"It's completely unbelievable."
"He, a Foreigner, is cursing a group of Foreigners at the Police Station..."
"What kind of move is that?"
Chan Kwok-chung had already seen through everything: "Officer George is Mr. Lin's man."
Chu Wah-biu rolled his eyes: "Officer George is the head of the Political Department, and he's going to be in the Security Bureau."
"He would submit to Mr. Lin?"
Yeung Chi-lung nodded: "Yes!"
Chu Wah-biu's eyes widened: "Really?"
Chan Kwok-chung laughed, "Ah Biao, besides work, you really should read more to broaden your horizons."
"Mr. Lin is Hong Kongs richest man."
"In Hong Kong and even the Western world, who is the most powerful?"
"Rich people!"
"Especially a super-capable rich person like Mr. Lin."
"It's not surprising that Officer George submits to him."
Chu Wah-biu's mouth hung open: "This..."
Yeung Chi-lung whispered, "Our Chief once told me that the Police Station has a very good relationship with Mr. Lin."
Chu Wah-biu looked at him as if he had seen a ghost: "Are you kidding me?"
Yeung Chi-lung explained, "For three years, Mr. Lin has always been among the top three donors to our Police Station."
"This year, he's even the top donor."
"If there are no surprises, this ranking might not change until Mr. Lin passes away."
"I know what you're going to say... it's nothing more than Mr. Lin's Triad identity."
"We at the Police Station are clearest about the current situation in Hong Kong. How many people don't have a Triad identity?"
"Not to mention, those singers and movie stars, which one doesn't rely on a Triad to continue singing and making movies?"
"Without a Triad identity, it's practically impossible to get by."
"If celebrities are like this, let alone ordinary citizens."
"Furthermore, Mr. Lin led the Hung Hing Group's fifty thousand members to completely go legitimate."
"Ever since Mr. Li became the Chairman of Hung Hing, Hung Hing has openly become the number one Triad in Hong Kong."
"Hung Hing's transformation has reduced so much trouble for our Police Station, there's no need to even mention it, right?"
"The transformation of Hung Hing also made many other Triads in the underworld consider their options."
"For them, transformation is only a matter of time."
"This is the 'head sheep effect.'"
"How can our Police Station alone cope with millions of Young and Dangerous?"
"Mr. Lin has actually always maintained contact with our Police Station."
Chu Wah-biu's mouth had not closed the entire time.
He couldn't believe that such things existed.
Chan Kwok-chung said indifferently, "Officer Yang is talking about the past, when it was still very convenient for the Chiefs of the eighteen districts to contact Mr. Lin."
"Now it's completely different."
"Mr. Lin is Hong Kongs richest man, and he's also the Governor's honored guest."
"His status is completely incomparable to before."
"Even the Chiefs have to be prepared to be turned away if they want to contact Mr. Lin."
Chu Wah-biu said bluntly, "I understand that. Mr. Lin's current status is like the Tycoon's before."
Chan Kwok-chung shook his head: "No."
"Mr. Lin's status is much more powerful than the Tycoon's."
Chu Wah-biu asked in surprise, "No way?"
Chan Kwok-chung said indifferently, "Mr. Lin comes from the underworld, a true local faction of Hong Kong."
"He dares to refuse the Governor, but does the Tycoon dare?"
Chu Wah-biu fell silent.
Yeung Chi-lung looked at Chu Wah-biu, who was deep in thought, and didn't disturb him.
"Ah Zhong, what should we do next?"
Chan Kwok-chung shrugged, "Whoever has the higher rank calls the shots."
"You're a Superintendent, I'm a Senior Inspector, and Ah Biao is a sergeant, so of course we'll listen to you."
Chu Wah-biu immediately said, "I agree with Ah Zhong."
Yeung Chi-lung smiled: "Alright, that's what we'll do."
"You don't need to worry about Jian Ren Guan. With Officer George stepping in, no matter how cunning Jian Ren Guan is, he won't be able to frame you."
Chu Wah-biu asked in confusion, "Why?"
Yeung Chi-lung said indifferently, "Why?"
"Officer George is the head of the Political Department!"
Chu Wah-biu was full of question marks. What I asked and what you said, are they the same thing?
Meanwhile, on the other side, Officer George threw Jian Ren Guan to the ground, ignoring Smith, whose face had turned liver-colored, and asked coldly,
"Tell me, why did you frame Officer Zhu?"
"Why did you give him false information?"
Jian Ren Guan was scared out of his wits: "I didn't frame him, the information I gave him was truly accurate."
"Officer, you must believe me!"
Officer George sneered.
Smith quickly said, "Guan, you'd better tell the truth."
"Officer George is the head of the Political Department!"
Jian Ren Guan gritted his teeth and said, "I really didn't frame him."
Smith could no longer hold back and shouted, "You damn well better tell the truth! The Political Department... that's an intelligence agency!"
"They have the authority to interrogate!"
While Jian Ren Guan was still bewildered, Officer George had already grown impatient. He waved his hand, and two Foreigner Inspectors immediately stepped out from behind him. They grabbed Jian Ren Guan and began to beat him savagely.
+++
Chapter 450: A Different George
"Stop hitting me!"
"I'll talk, I'll talk!"
"Please, don't hit me anymore!"
Jian Ren Guan's voice was filled with a crying tone.
He was the captain of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau's major crime unit, a person whom most people avoided.
Even at the Police Station, a senior officer would greet him with a smile.
Jian Ren Guan had never imagined that one day he would be interrogated by his own Police Force.
Those two Foreigners were truly beating him to death.
He felt as if three of his ribs were broken.
These guys were truly inhuman.
George looked at him expressionlessly, his words like a wind from hell:
"You're the captain of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, after all."
"You can't even withstand a few punches and kicks. If you were interrogated by criminals, you'd reveal all secrets."
"Keep hitting him!"
Jian Ren Guan's face was ashen.
The two Foreigners started punching and kicking him again, putting in extra effort.
Jian Ren Guan's superior couldn't bear to watch him anymore.
Damn it, I told you long ago that George was an officer from the Political Department, and you should go along with him.
How dare you still be stubborn!
Even Police Commissioner wouldn't dare to lie in front of Officer George, you really have guts!
It's truly hard to advise a fated-to-die person.
Who else could be blamed?
One could only say Jian Ren Guan brought it upon himself.
Smith wasn't an idiot like Jian Ren Guan; he knew George's influence. Therefore, he stayed put honestly.
Even though it was his confidant being beaten, he could only watch helplessly.
He didn't dare to shift his gaze at all.
George suddenly stared at Smith, who started sweating.
"You haven't spoken for so long. Do you have an opinion on how I'm handling this?"
Smith quickly said:
"The officer must have his reasons for handling it this way."
"I have no objections whatsoever!"
George asked:
"How has this guy performed normally?"
Smith immediately replied:
"Completely to my liking."
George pouted, instantly gaining a direct understanding of Jian Ren Guan:
"He's actually a sycophant!"
Smith's face turned crimson.
Does it have to be so blunt?
Yes, Jian Ren Guan was a sycophant, so what?
He was a sycophant who knew how to get things done.
He was unfamiliar with Hong Kong, so who else would he use?
Might as well find someone who would flatter him.
He just didn't expect George to show no face at all, bluntly revealing this embarrassing truth.
Actually, Smith didn't think this was a problem.
After all, all Foreigners did this.
Smith's crimson face was merely an act.
Who told George to be the officer?
Who told George's power to be limited even by Police Commissioner?
Smith knew more than the average person; George was about to become the Security Bureau.
This was an important position in the Three Secretaries and Thirteen Bureaus.
That was definitely a superior.
Is it a problem if a superior criticizes you?
No!
That's showing care for you!
Smith saw things clearly.
After another half an hour of beating, George raised his hand to stop.
Smith couldn't bear to look at Jian Ren Guan anymore; the guy was covered in tears and snot, curled up like a shrimp.
However, Smith knew that George's two subordinates were renowned interrogation experts. Despite Jian Ren Guan's appearance, a real examination would show no external signs of him being beaten.
Unless a deep investigation was conducted.
George looked at Jian Ren Guan coldly:
"Are you going to talk now?"
Jian Ren Guan didn't dare to hesitate at all and blurted out:
"I gave Ah Biao false information."
"Our two teams have a competitive relationship, and his professional skill is better than mine. If that continued, I would quickly be inferior to him."
"I was jealous of his talent, so I gave him false intelligence."
"I knew both the hostages and the robbers were in the room, but I deliberately said only the robbers were there. I even told him the robbers had no weapons."
"Actually, the robbers had weapons, all AKs."
"It's a pity that Ah Biao still managed to achieve merit."
"I truly wanted him to die, but it ended up helping him succeed."
"Fortunately, that idiot came out and punched me, otherwise, he would truly be above me."
George asked his subordinate:
"Did you record it?"
The subordinate held up the recording pen in his hand.
George clapped his hands and said to Smith:
"I won't go to the Internal Affairs Department."
"Ah Biao is working for me. I want you to resolve Ah Biao's matter now."
"Any problems?"
Smith stood at attention and said:
"Yes, officer."
George said faintly:
"This Officer Guan, to climb the ranks, resorted to such unscrupulous means, and judging by your attitude, you're clearly satisfied with his work."
"A friendly reminder, he can kill Officer Zhu today, and he can kill you tomorrow."
Smith's face changed dramatically, and he chuckled dryly:
"Officer, isn't that a bit much?"
George sneered:
"There are only seven years left until the handover, and the higher-ups want to vigorously promote local Hong Kong people."
"You think so highly of this Officer Guan; I suppose you'll recommend him?"
"Then, his position will be above yours."
"With his personality… how will he treat you?"
George didn't wait for Smith's reaction and left with his people, leaving only Smith, whose face was constantly changing.
Jian Ren Guan endured the pain and said:
"Sir, I am absolutely loyal to you."
"I absolutely have no intention of harming you."
"George is framing me."
Smith's face was constantly changing, turning green and then pale. After a long while, he suddenly slapped Jian Ren Guan!
The slap was very powerful.
Jian Ren Guan immediately bled from the corner of his mouth!
The poor guy had been beaten for a long time in front of the two interrogation experts without any external injuries, but he ended up being disfigured by Smith's slap.
"Officer… what do you mean by this? I am loyal to you."
Jian Ren Guan fell into endless fear. He knew that after the Political Department made its move, Smith was his only reliance.
If even this person didn't help him, then he was truly finished!
Smith said coldly:
"George is right. If you can be so vicious to a colleague from the neighboring team, then you will do the same to me in the future."
"You are suspended!"
Smith turned back to call the Internal Affairs Department:
"I am Smith. Regarding Officer Zhu's assault on Officer Guan, I have something to say."
Jian Ren Guan was terrified and couldn't help but say:
"Officer, I am your confidant."
"I know all the things you've done."
Smith paused at the words, feeling as if a weight had been lifted. He looked at Jian Ren Guan inexplicably and said faintly:
"George is not only the head of the Political Department, but he is also about to take office as the Security Bureau."
"I originally thought of enduring his pressure to plead for you, just to have you suspended for a while."
"Now, fortunately, I didn't do that."
"You are indeed an ungrateful wolf."
Jian Ren Guan quickly changed his expression, forcing a smile:
"Officer, I was just joking."
Smith said faintly:
"Too bad, I wasn't joking."
Jian Ren Guan immediately broke down:
"Officer, aren't you afraid that the things you've done will be known?"
Smith mocked:
"You can tell anyone you want, and see if anything happens to me?"
"What an idiot."
"There are thirty thousand police officers in the Police Station, and Anglo-Saxons are less than one-thousandth of that."
"Every Anglo-Saxon is precious."
"Unless it's a case like Peter Godber's, which is widely implicated and incites public anger, even the ICAC won't investigate us."
"You idiot!"
Jian Ren Guan instantly collapsed to the ground.
The Internal Affairs Department personnel arrived very quickly.
Smith said faintly:
"I have already investigated the inside story of Officer Zhu's assault on Officer Guan."
"Officer Guan was jealous of Officer Zhu and deliberately gave them false intelligence, intending to use the bandits to kill Officer Zhu."
"He is simply a black sheep of the Police Station."
"He is someone we absolutely cannot tolerate."
"Now I hand him over to you."
The Internal Affairs Department investigators looked at the bloodstains on Jian Ren Guan's face and asked in surprise:
"Officer, what happened here?"
Smith said expressionlessly:
"I hit him."
"Do you have an opinion?"
The Internal Affairs Department investigator said loudly:
"Good hit!"
"For such a black sheep, he deserves to be hit."
Jian Ren Guan's heart sank to the bottom of the sea.
Indeed, as Smith said, Anglo-Saxons have privileges.
It's simply impossible for him to fight them!
Jian Ren Guan was despairingly taken away by the Internal Affairs Department personnel.
Smith gave a cold smile. A dog still wanted to fight him? Still wanted to bite him?
He must have taken the wrong medicine.
Picking up the phone again, Smith put on a fawning expression:
"Officer George, I have already sent A Guan to the Internal Affairs Department."
"Yes, he will definitely be dealt with by law. We will absolutely not let such a black sheep harm the Police Station."
George hung up the phone and said to Chu Wah-biu:
"The matter is resolved."
Chu Wah-biu didn't know what to say for a moment. That was it?
The matter that had troubled him for days was over?
George smiled and shook his head:
"It was never a big deal to begin with."
"I've checked with the Internal Affairs Department."
"Even without my intervention... you wouldn't have left the Police Force, nor would you have been demoted."
Chu Wah-biu looked at him suspiciously:
"No way?"
"I really beat A Guan up."
"When did the Police Force's discipline become so lax?"
George shook his head:
"Someone is protecting you."
Chu Wah-biu suddenly looked at Yeung Chi-lung:
"Ah Long, was that your doing?"
Yeung Chi-lung sincerely thanked George:
"Thank you, Officer. If it weren't for your help, Ah Biao would have been transferred to uniformed police."
Chu Wah-biu felt both ashamed and guilty,
"Ah Long, you're looking out for me again."
Yeung Chi-lung didn't mind:
"We're classmates, and I'm your superior. You didn't do anything wrong, so who else would I protect?"
George nodded repeatedly:
"You are a good superior."
"Mr. Lin once told me how to be a good superior, and today I'm going to teach you."
Chan Kwok-chung and the other two looked at each other, all surprised and uncertain.
Was George's relationship with Mr. Lin that close?
To even say such things?
No way?
"Being a good superior isn't difficult. When something happens, just smooth things over."
"Those who only exploit their subordinates will get a sack over their heads."
Chu Wah-biu's eyes widened, and he blurted out:
"Does the Officer read minds? That's exactly what I was thinking."
"I'll find an opportunity to put a sack over A Guan's head."
Everyone chuckled.
George clapped his hands and said:
"Enough chitchat."
"We need to continue with our work."
"Any good news?"
Yeung Chi-lung and the other two exchanged glances, and George immediately had a bad feeling:
"Could there be no good news?"
Yeung Chi-lung said directly:
"We just received news that the Professor was hijacked while being escorted to Stanley."
"Four of the escorting officers were killed and one was injured. We just returned from the hospital. The surviving officer said they were attacked by a group of bandits disguised as police."
"This should be the Professor's accomplices from the Officer's intelligence."
"It's just that now we have a difficult situation..."
"Including the Professor, we don't have their criminal records at all, so we don't know who they are."
"Trying to find them among the six million people in Hong Kong is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Yeung Chi-lung frowned and said:
"The key is that we don't even know the characteristics of the three."
"It's basically impossible to find them."
George thought for a moment, then made a phone call in front of everyone, respectfully saying:
"Mr. Lin, I would like to ask for your help."
Chan Kwok-chung, Yeung Chi-lung, and Chu Wah-biu looked at each other, all stunned.
At the Police Station, the Political Department seemed inconspicuous, but only insiders knew how much power the head of the Political Department wielded. It was an existence that even the Police Commissioner could not interfere with.
George's direct promotion to the Security Bureau after stepping down from the Political Department could explain certain things.
He was a bona fide big shot.
However, even such a big shot still had to be respectful and humble when facing Mr. Lin!
Mr. Lin was formidable!
"Thank you, Mr. Lin."
After George hung up the phone, his whole demeanor changed.
"Mr. Lin said he would inform relevant people to prevent the Professor and the other two from leaving Hong Kong by illegal means."
The three instantly understood.
The so-called illegal means were nothing more than illegal immigration.
Everyone knew that Mr. Lin used to be involved with Triads and was even known as the 'Bounty Master'.
Since he had spoken, the situation of the Professor and others illegally leaving Hong Kong would certainly not happen.
This was the reputation of a big boss.
Chan Kwok-chung crossed his arms and said:
"According to our analysis, the Professor and the other two certainly want to leave Hong Kong."
"But if they don't have eighty million US dollars in hand, leaving Hong Kong is equivalent to suicide."
"Those American gangs won't let them off."
"So..."
Chu Wah-biu said coldly:
"So their next target must be the eighty million US dollars kept at the Police Station headquarters."
"Their next target is the Police Station headquarters."
Yeung Chi-lung frowned and said:
"But there's a problem here..."
"How did the Professor know where the eighty million US dollars were kept?"
The three exchanged glances and said in unison:
"There's an inside man!"
The three looked at George, who showed no sign of anger:
"The Police Station is a sieve. These people, despite having higher positions than you, have absolutely no awareness."
"Remember, they came all the way to Hong Kong just to make money."
"The lives of Hong Kong people have nothing to do with them."
The three looked at each other, not knowing whether to agree or disagree.
You, a white Foreigner, are so sharply criticizing your own countrymen. Is this sincere or an act?
George said lightly:
"You don't need to look at me like that."
"How long has it been since Lui Lok's era left here?"
"You wouldn't think Lui Lok only bribed one Peter Godber, would you?"
"With that guy's position, could he have done so many things?"
"Come on."
"Not just the Police Station, but how many people in the Hong Kong Government haven't taken his dirty money?"
"Changing customs requires drastic measures."
"The establishment of the ICAC only did superficial work; it never investigated Foreigners at all."
"On the surface, the spirit of Chinese police officers has changed."
"In reality, black police still occasionally pop up."
"Still, not enough time has passed."
"Even with Chinese police officers being targeted in such a way, there are still occasional black police."
"So, would the Foreigner police officers, who have never been cleaned up, be good?"
"If you shot ten of these people, probably only half would claim innocence."
Hiss!
Chan Kwok-chung and the others gasped.
The Officer really dared to speak his mind.
George shrugged:
"You don't have to worry, I'm just telling the truth."
"This world is filthy. Only by seeing through the truth can you live comfortably."
"It's just that you three are a bit unlucky."
Chu Wah-biu was puzzled:
"Officer, we'll be unlucky?"
George explained:
"You were recommended by Mr. Lin, and I have no doubt about your abilities."
"This case will definitely be handled perfectly."
"In a couple of days, I'll be taking up my post at the Security Bureau. Of course, because of this case, you will gain a lot of prominence."
"Both your police ranks and positions will see a promotion."
"It's just that after the promotion, you will become an eyesore to the Foreigners."
George was a little gleeful,
"There are still many years until Hong Kong's return, so you'll have to be careful."
"Huh... are you all so calm?"
George had expected to see the three in a state of panic, but to his surprise, they were very calm.
Chu Wah-biu rolled his eyes:
"Officer, it seems you still don't understand us."
"Take me as an example."
"I was the silver whistle award winner for police cadets ten years ago. Just half a year after starting work, I moved from uniformed police to O-Team."
"Now, ten years later, I am still only a sergeant..."
"Why do you think I haven't been promoted yet?"
George was stunned.
Chan Kwok-chung and Yeung Chi-lung exchanged smiles.
"I'm not as bad off as Ah Biao, but my position should have been higher."
"Agreed."
All three of them had been suppressed to varying degrees.
Had the Foreigners given them few difficulties?
George was furious:
"Those white pigs are indeed rotten to the core."
"You are the elite of the Police Station."
"Yet each of you has been suppressed to such an extent."
"It truly infuriates me!"
George's face turned red with anger.
Chan Kwok-chung and the other two looked at each other, all three feeling strange.
This Officer George was completely different from his rumored reputation.
They had no idea that George had already converted to Lin Feng and become his devout follower.
His ideological awareness was completely different from before.
When his way of thinking took a big turn, seeing the goings-on at the Police Station truly made him feel as uncomfortable as possible.
What used to be commonplace now became utter filth.
If it weren't for George's good mindset, anyone else would have collapsed.
Yeung Chi-lung spoke up:
"Officer, we are small fries; we can't manage the big affairs of the Police Station."
"Let's get back to this case."
Chan Kwok-chung and Chu Wah-biu quickly agreed.
The three did not want to discuss the matter of Foreigners with George here; it was meaningless.
For them, striking against the Professor's group was the real task at hand.
