Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 520: Taking Over the Case Over the Boss
Seeing the police officers coming towards him in the temporary command center, Zhou Quan narrowed his eyes slightly, and he quickly straightened his expression.

"Good evening, Mr. Lin!"

Then, he stamped his feet and raised his hands to salute and greet the wealthy police officer with a big belly who was leading the group opposite him.

Lam Ka-cheong, Operations DCP, Deputy Commissioner of Police!

Although this person is not Zhou Quan's boss, he is definitely a superior that Zhou Quan needs to respect.

"Good evening, Mr. Zeng!"

After putting his arms down, Zhou Quan smiled warmly and nodded towards Zeng Xiangrong who was standing next to DCP Lin.

The Deputy Director of Operations personally rushed to the scene of the operation, so how could Zeng Xiangrong, the commander of the Hong Kong Island Region, dare to be absent?
"Ah Quan, how come this incident has alarmed your National Security Department?"

DCP Lin raised his hand formally and returned Zhou Quan's salute. The smile on his face was very bright, like a Maitreya Buddha.

Even if Lin Jiachang is not Zhou Quan's boss, he is definitely Zeng Xiangrong's boss.

His boss was exchanging greetings with Sir Quan, who was at the peak of his career in the police force, so Zeng Xiangrong naturally didn't want to interrupt.

Therefore, he just nodded to Zhou Quan with a smile on his face, showing his respect for Zhou Quan.

"Mr. Lin, the National Security Department has found some clues."

Although Zhou Quan maintained due respect for DCP Lin, this did not mean that he would give up the purpose of his trip just because of the presence of his superior.

"The situation behind Chief Inspector Zhuo Wenwei is very complicated. I am ready to take over this operation."

The National Security Department is qualified to handle any criminal incident that occurs within Hong Kong Island.

Even though the current operational commander on the scene is the deputy director of operations of the police force, Sir Quan has every right to ask the other party to transfer command.

Within the police force, the Deputy Commissioner of Operations is indeed Zhou Quan's superior.

But in fact, only the first brother is the boss who can truly command Zhou Quan.

Looking at other core management of the police force, not to mention the commissioners of the same level, Sir Quan is the first person to hold the assistant commissioner seat.

As for the senior assistant directors mentioned above, and the two deputy directors of operations and management.

As long as it is an official matter within Zhou Quan's authority, Zhou Quan is fully qualified to say no.

If it is a private matter, then it depends more on Zhou Quan's own mood.

If we look at the issue from the perspective of the entire Hong Kong Island, Zhou Quan's weight is even greater than that of the two deputy commissioners of the police force.

After all, he and his brother are the only two members of the National Security Committee within the police force.

To a certain extent, Zhou Quan is now one of the decision-makers of the Hong Kong government.

In contrast, the Deputy Commissioner of Police is merely the head of an organization under the Hong Kong government.

Therefore, even if DCP Lin is currently at the scene, it will not affect Zhou Quan and his brothers from taking over this operation.

"no problem!"

Deputy Director of Operations Lin Jiachang nodded and said with a smile: "Ah Quan, your ability is obvious to the entire police force."

"I feel relieved to have you take over this case."

Lin Jiachang was not willing to work hard on this case, after all, Zhuo Wenwei's identity was very special.

As a police officer, and a chief inspector at that, he was only one step away from becoming a gendarmerie commissioner in the police force.

Even though Zhuo Wenwei has now violated the laws of Hong Kong Island, how he should be dealt with still requires careful consideration.

If this hostage-taking incident involving Zhuo Wenwei can be resolved peacefully, that would naturally be the best possible outcome.

But if Zhuo Wenwei went to extremes and shot the hostages in the North Point Police Station, the matter would be a complete blast. Even if the police force launched an effective assault operation before that, the final impact would still be very bad.

The police force opened fire to subdue and even killed an insider, who was a top-level police officer at the inspector level.

If this kind of thing gets out, it will definitely be a scandal that the police force cannot wash away.

To Lin Jiachang, Zhuo Wenwei is now a thorny branch covered with thorns, and he wishes someone else would take over Zhuo Wenwei's case.

Now that Zhou Quan has taken the initiative to take over the leadership of the Zhuo Wenwei case, Lin Jiachang is also very willing to go along with it.

Of course, this does not mean that DCP Lin has any intention of throwing the hot potato to Zhou Quan.

Although he didn't have much contact with Zhou Quan, it did not affect his understanding of the abilities and methods of Police Officer Quan.

Lin Jiachang knew very well that if Zhou Quan was not absolutely sure, there was no need for him to get involved in this mess.

Deputy Director Lin, who is not far from retirement, is very happy to give younger generations the opportunity to perform.

He was even more pleased to befriend Sir Quan, who had a promising future in the police force and was already at the peak of his career.

"Thank you, sir!"

The support and cooperation from the DCP officer made the smile on Zhou Quan's face even more sincere.

After expressing his gratitude to Lin Jiachang, he turned his attention to the plainclothes police officers behind Lin Jiachang.

These plainclothes police officers are the real responsible persons for this operation.

After all, the levels of DCP Lin and ACP Zeng are there.

Even though the two of them are at the action scene right now, it is impossible for them to actually get on the front line of the action.

It’s not that they lack the ability to move, but that they are both old after all.

In addition, given the job levels of Lin Jiachang and Zeng Xiangrong, if any accident really happened, no one at the scene would be able to take the responsibility.

"Good evening, sir!"

Feeling the gaze of the head of the National Security Department, the plainclothes police officers in the command center all had expressions of awe on their faces.

"Go in and talk!"

Zhou Quan uttered three words without comment, and he led his brothers directly into the temporary command center.

Such a scene made the plainclothes police officers who led the operation dare not even breathe.

Even though Zhou Quan didn't show any unusual expression on the surface, how could they not realize that Sir Quan was very dissatisfied with them?

Otherwise, given Sir Quan's usual approachable demeanor when interacting with his brothers, it would be impossible for him to ignore their salutes and greetings.

Slightly behind DCP Lin by half a body length, Zhou Quan walked into the command center and stood still. He turned around and looked around at the plainclothes police officers who had previously led the operation.

The sharp and pressure-filled gaze made all the plainclothes police officers feel awe-inspiring.

Just when Zhou Quan was about to launch an attack, the steel security door that had just been closed by the last member of Team T, the handsome Guan Zu, was suddenly smashed open.

The person who came was a man wearing a plaid shirt and a bulletproof vest.

"Why is this happening? What happened?"

He suppressed his anger and questioned everyone in the command center in a deep voice.

"When you do this, do you care about my safety and the safety of the hostages?"
