Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 1252 Zeng Xiangrong Speaks

Wong Bing-yiu was well aware that his actions had crossed the line. Regardless of whether the matter succeeded or not, his fate would not be good. After all, it was a case of acting first and reporting later. In any case, those in power would not allow such a person to remain in the position of Commissioner of Police.

If they fail, needless to say, they will not only be dismissed from their posts, but may also face imprisonment. Even if they succeed, they will most likely retire early, and this is already the best possible outcome.

I had considered all of these things at the moment I made the decision.

But he did it anyway without hesitation.

MacLehose stared at Wong Bing-Yiu in shock, exclaiming incredulously, "Are you crazy?"

He simply couldn't understand why the other party would ruin their career; this action was beyond his comprehension of the world.

Huang Bingyao smiled and shook his head, saying in Cantonese, "You don't understand. I've lived my whole life in the shadow of you foreigners. I've really had enough. Although all of this will be over in two years, I can't wait, I really can't wait..."

"You're really crazy, you must be crazy," MacLehose said in a low voice, incredulously.

"Just think of me as crazy. At my age, if I don't go crazy now, I'll be too old!" As he spoke, a subtle, enigmatic smile flickered across Huang Bingyao's lips.

......

Meanwhile, He Wenzhan led his men to the villa where Li Yonglian lived. They made no attempt to hide, and the flashing lights, the arriving vehicles, and the footsteps quickly woke up the sleeping people in the villa.

Lai Wing-lim put on his clothes, left the villa alone without any servants.

Seeing He Wenzhan standing in front of him, he immediately recognized him as Hua Sheng's loyal henchman in the police force. He coldly rebuked, "He Wenzhan, what do you mean by this?" As he spoke, he looked around at the police officers surrounding the villa and smiled mockingly, "You're not trying to arrest me, are you?"

Without flinching, he walked up to He Wenzhan, poked the man's chest with his finger, and said, "Do you dare? Are you worthy? Do you know who you are?"

He Wenzhan's eyes turned cold: "I'll show you whether you dare to do it or not."

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Li Yonglian's fingers and twisted them upwards.

"what!"

Li Yonglian let out a scream, his body involuntarily bent over, and before he could react, a pair of handcuffs were cuffed to his wrists.

"Fuck, He Wenzhan, how dare you treat me like this? You're finished, I'm telling you, you're finished, even Watson can't save you."

Even at this point, Lai Wing-lim was still staring fiercely at Ho Man-chim, uttering curses and threats incessantly.

He Wenzhan didn't care at all. He grabbed Li Yonglian's arm and shouted, "Take him to the car. The rest of you come in with me to search."

More than an hour later, he left with the police, but what had happened there was still spread by the surrounding residents.

There's no way around it; the arrest of the Secretary for Justice is just too big a deal.

The previous arrest of Philip was a secret operation that didn't cause much of a stir, but this time it was different. This time, the operation was carried out openly and under cover of night, with Lai Wing-lim being arrested in broad daylight.

If this were to happen, it would absolutely cause unrest in Hong Kong.

......

Hua Sheng stood by the window of his office in the police station building, watching Lai Wing-lim being escorted downstairs. His face was expressionless; this was not the time to be smug.

He was fully aware of the high risks involved in everything he was doing tonight; one wrong move and countless forces in Hong Kong could be destroyed.

Chen Yongren, along with Zeng Xiangrong, watched from upstairs as Li Yonglian was escorted into the building.

"Is this all you can rely on? It seems you're not so dependable after all. You still got arrested."

Zeng Xiangrong was completely stunned. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he murmured, "How dare you? This is the Director of the Department of Justice, one of the three departments..."

Without the slightest fear, Chan Wing-yan said, "So what if he's the Secretary for Justice? Do you think we'd be afraid?"

Zeng Xiangrong turned his head, looked at the determined look in Chen Yongren's eyes, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "You guys are indeed brave, but I'm very curious, how did you persuade the Governor to arrest Li Yonglian?"

He was genuinely curious about this, since they had just arrested an Chief Secretary for Administration not long ago. If they were to arrest a Secretary for Justice now, it would be as if half the sky had collapsed in Hong Kong's political arena, and it would definitely cause chaos.

So he just couldn't understand why MacLehose would agree.

Chen Yongren smiled faintly: "You don't need to worry about that. Besides, you've forgotten one thing: our police force is the largest and most populous disciplined force on Hong Kong Island. Sometimes, when we want to do something, even the Governor has to give us some face."

"You spend all your time thinking about power and profit, but you forget how much power the police force itself possesses!"

Zeng Xiangrong remained silent for a moment, then sighed: "The victor is king, the loser is villain. I am not someone who can't accept defeat. I am willing to tell you everything, I just hope you can give me some dignity."

"Don't worry, I can grant you this request." Chen Yongren nodded.

Soon, Hua Sheng received the news and, slightly excited, went to the interrogation room. Through the one-way mirror, he looked at Zeng Xiangrong, who was being interrogated inside.

"call!"

He let out a long sigh of relief. Zeng Xiangrong spoke up, saying that the mountain of Li Yonglian had already developed cracks at its base and could collapse at any moment.

When Chen Yongren walked out of the interrogation room, Hua Sheng immediately clapped, and the surrounding police officers also clapped.

"Clap clap clap clap!"

Watson walked over, hugged Chen Yongren tightly, and patted him hard on the back.

"Ah Ren, well done!"

Chen Yongren smiled slightly but did not speak.

After the applause ended, the two went together to another interrogation room, where Ho Man-chin was interrogating Lai Wing-lim.

But unlike Chen Yongren's interrogation, no matter what He Wenzhan asked, Li Yonglian did not answer and even threatened He Wenzhan.

"Do you know what you're doing? I am the Secretary for Justice, and you, a mere Chief Superintendent, dare to interrogate me? Do you have the right? If you have evidence, you can prosecute me at any time instead of bringing me here for questioning. Do you know the consequences of doing this?"

Looking at Li Yonglian's arrogant demeanor, He Wenzhan said indifferently, "Li Yonglian, do you think we would arrest you if we didn't have evidence?"

"Besides, without sufficient certainty, do you think we can persuade the governor to agree to your arrest?"
