Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 883: What a Powerful Lady

Looking at his wife's leaving back, Zhou Quan couldn't help but smile gently.

He has been married to Au Wing-yan for more than ten years, and Au Wing-yan has always been highly understanding and supportive of his work.

This undoubtedly made Zhou Quan very moved and relieved.

"Mr. Lu, I'm Zhou Quan."

Zhou Quan suppressed his smile and answered Lu Minghua's call, he joked with a smile.

"You called me so early in the morning to disturb my sleep. Do you have any work instructions?"

Zhou Quan didn't say anything too polite to Lu Minghua. After all, they were old friends.

The most important point is that he is not clear about the purpose of Lu Minghua's call yet.

But he was sure of one thing, that this phone call was definitely not about any major event concerning the Hong Kong government.

The reason is simple. If any emergency occurs in Hong Kong Island.

As the top police officer, he should be the first person to know about it.

Otherwise, the working capabilities of various intelligence departments in Hong Kong Island, and even the intelligence group of the National Security Department, would be worthy of reflection.

"Sir Quan, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."

Lu Minghua's slightly apologetic laugh came from the receiver.

This made Zhou Quan curl his lips involuntarily, as it was just as he expected.

Judging from Lu Minghua's tone, this phone call could not possibly be related to the Hong Kong government.

"Mr. Lu, you said that we are all old friends."

After straightening his expression, Zhou Quan responded in a deep voice: "I will never refuse to help wherever I can."

Even though he had some complaints in his heart, his friendship with Lu Minghua was still strong.

Within his ability, Zhou Quan would not offend Lu Minghua.

"Sir Quan, more than two hours ago, Huo Zhaotang was kidnapped in his own beautiful villa in Qingshui Bay."

Lu Minghua's voice continued to be heard from the receiver.

"The kidnappers demanded a ransom of 1 billion and threatened his family not to report the case."

"So Huo Zhaotang's wife just called me."

At this point, Lu Minghua's voice couldn't help but reveal a hint of helplessness.

"Sir Quan, you also know that sometimes it's hard to refuse favors."

"I have no choice but to trouble you!"

Don't underestimate Zhou Quan and Lu Minghua, they are also highly regarded by the Hong Kong government and their hometowns.

But there are obvious differences between the two of them.

That is, there is no major local force in Hong Kong behind Lu Minghua himself.

And his personal network of contacts is limited to within the Hong Kong government.

In other words, his network of contacts in all walks of life in the Hong Kong government was all built by him personally.

On the other hand, Zhou Quan was originally the core member of the Li family in the police force.

Behind the Li family of the police force is the Shanghai Gang in Hong Kong Island.

Even if Zhou Quan himself did not build a network of personal connections, those business celebrities from the Shanghai Gang in Hong Kong naturally had a good impression of him. Moreover, Zhou Quan had been working in Hong Kong for nearly 20 years, so how could he ignore the existence of a network of personal connections?
There is no doubt within the police force that he, as the top cop, is the most influential figure in the history of the police force.

Outside the police force, in all sectors of Hong Kong society, apart from his own interpersonal interactions over the years.

His financial steward, Guan Youbo, also built a huge network of contacts for him.

Even these networks of contacts are not able to directly help Zhou Quan for the time being.

But if Zhou Quan decides to participate in the election for the top boss of the Hong Kong government, these will become his campaign capital and his strong votes of support.

The position of big boss of the Hong Kong government is also Lu Minghua's future goal.

As the Secretary for Security, the next level up is the Chief of the Three Departments.

Now that you have joined the Hong Kong government's public service system, who wouldn't want to be at the pinnacle of serving Hong Kong Island?
But Lu Minghua did not have Zhou Quan's ability to foresee the future. It was impossible for him to select and cultivate a business genius like Guan Youbo at first sight.

If this is the case, if Lu Minghua wants to run for the position of the big boss of the Hong Kong government, he can only build his network of personal connections by himself.

The Ho Siu-tang he mentioned is one of the celebrities in Hong Kong's business community.

The word "Huo" here does not refer to the highly respected Huo family in Hong Kong Island, it is just a simple surname.

The wealthy businessman Huo Zhaotang was kidnapped, but his family did not report the case. Instead, they asked Lu Minghua for a favor.

Under normal circumstances, Zhou Quan wouldn't mind doing Lu Minghua a favor.

What's more, ensuring the safety of Hong Kong citizens is the responsibility of the Hong Kong Police Force.

However, Zhou Quan had a very bad feeling about Huo Zhaotang himself.

You know, his personnel adjustment deployment for the police force has only been completed for more than half a month.

Even apart from the transfers of the core management of the police force, the transfers of other police personnel are decided by the Personnel Department.

However, all these appointment letters were signed by Zhou Quan.

How could Zhou Quan not have any impression of the specific personnel changes?
Lu Minghua just provided a clue that the villa where Huo Zhaotang hides his mistress is located in Clear Water Bay, which is under the jurisdiction of the Kowloon East Region.

The current commander of the Kowloon East Region is Assistant Commissioner Lok Chi-fai, and the deputy commander is Szeto Kit, who has just been promoted to the rank of Chief Superintendent.

Most importantly, Zhang Debiao, one of his seven talented men, and Qiu Gangao, who was once awarded the Xue Fu Cup by him, are now working in the East Kowloon headquarters.

Putting these familiar names together, how could Zhou Quan not know the nature of Huo Zhaotang?

Another point is that Huo Zhaotang's practice of keeping a mistress in a magnificent house has already reflected part of his character.

Hong Kong Island once had a system of polygamy, and Huo Zhaotang was not just a member of the Hong Kong Island youth generation. He had already been active in the Hong Kong Island business community a long time ago.

He keeps a mistress in a secret villa, and the mistress is a woman who is even older than his granddaughter. This shows that he is not a good person.

What made Zhou Quan feel most resistant was actually what Mrs. Huo Zhaotang did.

What kind of powerful lady is this?

A phone call was made to the Chief of Security, and the Chief of Security was asked to wake up the top police officer from his sleep?

What? Are they trying to use their power to put pressure on the police?
When Zhou Quan had not yet entered the core management of the police force, he personally led a team to solve the kidnapping case of Li Chao's eldest son.

At that time, Superman Li showed the police force a very high level of courtesy and respect.

Not only did he personally call for help, but the former top police officer also mediated the matter.

Even Li Chaoren himself expressed his attitude sincerely, leaving it up to Zhou Quan to do his best.

We will not force success or failure, but it will in no way affect our support for the development and construction of the police force in the future.
