Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Huang Yuanbin slammed his hand on the table and said, "Yes, we need to put on a good show!"

Everyone was taken aback. The police chiefs hadn't expected that Huang Yuanbin would adopt a female police superintendent's plan.

However, now that they have a plan, all they need to do is follow it.

Anyway, if something goes wrong, these people won't have to take the blame.

After the meeting, Huang Yuanbin followed Fang Jiexia directly to the office.

Fang Jiexia merely glanced at him and said indifferently, "Do you agree with me or support me?"

"Don't you believe in yourself?" Huang Yuanbin laughed, reaching out to grab Fang Jiexia. "Is your father any better?"

Fang Jiexia, however, dodged the question without hesitation: "You know what kind of person I am! I am or I am not! Black and white, it's that simple. We were all trained this way!"

Huang Yuanbin stepped forward and blocked Fang Jiexia's path, saying, "Relationships aren't as simple as black and white!"

Fang Jiexia was speechless for a moment, clearly indicating that the two had a past.

Just then, Superintendent Yang suddenly burst in, and was stunned by what he saw: "Fang Jiexia...sorry, sir! I'll remember to knock next time!"

Huang Yuanbin calmly said, "I came in to ask how Lao Fang is doing. We're old colleagues, after all!"

Superintendent Yang could only nod repeatedly, "Of course, of course!"

……

The police were preparing to stage a big show, and Chen Jiajun soon received the news.

“The idea is not bad, but this play is not so easy to perform!” After seeing the information, Li Shutang shook his head and said, “I know Huang Yuanbin. He’s a sycophant! In terms of ability, he is not even in the top ranks. The foreigners also know this, so he is the director of the administrative department, not the action department.”

Chen Jiajun said to Li Shutang, "What do you think is the chance of this guy succeeding in dealing with those robbers?"

Li Shutang sneered: "If he were thinking clearly, he would have at least a 70% chance of handling this case if it were given to the Major Crimes Unit! But he won't do that; he's always been ruthless when it comes to grabbing credit! In my judgment, it's at most a 30% chance!"

Chen Jiajun was somewhat surprised: "There's still 30% left? But according to the information my men have received, this group of ruthless bandits is no ordinary group. They all have AKs, and they moved in and out of the way in the firefight with the police. They are obviously not ordinary robbers, but rather veterans who have retired from the battlefield."

"That's precisely why I said there's a 30% chance!" Li Shutang said calmly. "If he can't handle it, he'll send in the Flying Tigers. Otherwise, I estimate he doesn't even have a 30% chance!"

Li Shutang's words implied that he looked down on Huang Yuanbin, clearly indicating that there was some past conflict between the two.

However, Li Shutang didn't bring it up, and Chen Jiajun didn't say much either. He just tapped the table and said, "I understand what you mean. You mean to embarrass him, but not to make him lose face completely, right?"

Li Shutang nodded: "In short, we can't let the Flying Tigers get involved in this case!"

"Where is the officer from the serious crimes unit in charge of this case?" Chen Jiajun asked again.

“There’s a young man named Zhang Zhiheng who works very hard! But he has no connections whatsoever.” Li Shutang shook his head and said, “Even if you tell him not to investigate, he’ll still bring his men.”

Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "This kid is talented, and he's only at the inspector level. Let Wenbin see if he's confident he can be recruited!"

Li Shutang laughed: "That's what I think too. Then Wenbin will have a legitimate reason to get involved in this matter."

"Then I'll go and find them!" Chen Jiajun said, standing up. "I'll let you know when I have the results, and you'll have to find a way to get Wenbin into the action team!"

"Don't worry, I have a plan!" Li Shutang nodded.

……

Because of the previous failure, the bandits escaped from his grasp.

Zhang Zhiheng was quite unhappy and spent all his time patrolling the streets with his men, using every means possible to find out information about this gang of bandits.

So busy that I don't even have time to eat a meal.

I was just about to grab something to eat and rest when a phone call came in.

The call came from Fang Jiexia of the Investigation Department.

The reason for making this call was that Fang Jiexia wanted to snatch the case from the Major Crimes Unit.

Zhang Zhiheng was naturally very unhappy and refused to give out the intelligence.

"Hello? Yes! Huh? You don't have the informant's information? That's impossible! My colleague already passed it on!" Zhang Zhiheng said perfunctorily, "Then wait a moment while I check and get back to you!"

Fang Jiexia wasn't stupid; she could tell that Zhang Zhiheng was just giving her the runaround.

After angrily hanging up the phone, he immediately summoned his subordinate: "Awen, Zhang Zhiheng is not allowed to interfere in this case. Send me a notice to his superior. If he dares to cause trouble, he'll take the blame!"

"Yes, sir!" the subordinate replied helplessly.

He was very unhappy about being assigned to work under such a powerful and strict woman, but he had no choice but to do so for the sake of his job.

As for Cheung Chi-hang, he completely ignored the words of the superintendent from the Major Crimes Unit.
He's being told to abandon this case he's only halfway through investigating? Don't even dream about it.

The police CIB was no pushover either, and quickly located the location where the criminals were hiding.

However, this message was not only received by Huang Yuanbin and others, but also by the Serious Crimes Unit.

After all, the CIB is not under the jurisdiction of the administrative department, so it was already quite an achievement for Huang Yuanbin to be able to get Superintendent Yang into the team.

Upon receiving this message, both sides took action.

However, Zhang Zhiheng is still faster.

Using his connections, he quickly located the hiding place of the bandits.

The ninth floor of an apartment building.

The deputy captain reminded him, "Boss, shouldn't we give the investigation team a heads-up?"

Zhang Zhiheng wasn't a reckless man who wouldn't listen to anything. He nodded and then took out his phone to call Fang Jiexia: "Commander Fang, it's Zhang Zhiheng from the Major Crimes Unit! Originally, our Major Crimes Unit wasn't planning to get involved in this matter, but we suddenly received intelligence that we suspect the robbers are still nearby."

"Yes, it really is such a coincidence! Don't worry... we won't act on our own, that's all..."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Zhiheng immediately notified all members of his team to put on their gear and prepare to attack the floor at any time.

Just then, a car sped up and blocked Zhang Zhiheng's path.

"Li sir? What brings you here?" Zhang Zhiheng asked, somewhat surprised by Li Wenbin's sudden arrival.

Li Wenbin enjoys a high reputation within the Major Crimes Unit. After all, he has a bureau chief father and worked his way up from the bottom; the people in the Major Crimes Unit aren't blind. Furthermore, Li Wenbin genuinely treats his subordinates like brothers, always finding ways to help them. Therefore, almost everyone in the Major Crimes Unit knows him.

Li Wenbin said to Zhang Zhiheng with a serious expression, "Inspector Zhang Zhiheng, from now on, you will be under my command!"

Zhang Zhiheng was dumbfounded: "Li sir! You're here to stop me too?"

Li Wenbin said calmly, "I'm here to stop you from going to your death!"

"But are we just going to stand by and watch that dead woman from the investigation department snatch this case away?" Zhang Zhiheng asked angrily.

Li Wenbin said sternly, "You can say whatever you want in front of me, but don't talk nonsense outside! Also, who told you I was going to give up this case?"

Hearing Li Wenbin's words, Zhang Zhiheng was even more puzzled: "But..."

Li Wenbin said calmly, "This case isn't that simple, and those who put on a show don't have the ability! I know you want to catch these robbers, and I'll give you that chance! But... before that, obey my orders! Do you trust me?"

If it were someone else, Zhang Zhiheng would definitely have sprayed him in the face.

But seeing Li Wenbin's resolute eyes, his attitude finally softened: "Yes, Sir!"

After listening to Li Wenbin's words, everyone decided to take off their equipment.

But Li Wenbin said, "Why are you unloading your equipment? Stand by, ready to act at any time!"

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard Li Wenbin's words.

……

Meanwhile, Fang Jiexia had already instructed CIB personnel to keep an eye on Zhang Zhiheng.

Upon hearing that Zhang Zhiheng and his group intended to take action, Fang Jiexia immediately notified Huang Yuanbin.

Huang Yuanbin had just finished a meeting and said to his group of men, "Regardless of whether the criminals are in that unit or not, we must take action! At the very least, we need to show our skills in front of the media!"

"This time, we're not just dealing with the thugs, we're also putting on a show for the six million citizens of Hong Kong! Fang Jiexia, this time, your idea is brilliant, don't let everyone down!"

"I understand!"

"Old Yang, you're his boss, you should give him your full support!"

"Yes, sir!"

Just as the group was talking, a police officer arrived and said to Huang Yuanbin, "CIB report: The perpetrators are confirmed to be inside the building! However, the Major Crimes Unit has also intervened!"

Huang Yuanbin pointed at Superintendent Yang and Fang Jiexia and said, "You two take care of them!"

Superintendent Yang and Fang Jiexia did not dare to delay and immediately organized manpower to prepare for the operation.
The administrative department has limited manpower, so frontline police officers are out of the question, as they don't get along with the administrative staff anyway.

This is also where those British devils are clever—using departments to sow discord among Chinese police officers.

And believe it or not, these foreigners actually did it.

Frontline police officers work themselves to the bone, yet they still face targeting from the administrative department, with the complaints section and internal investigation section specifically targeting them.

In this situation, their administration department can't even mobilize a single department from the operations department.

In other words, under the instruction of the higher-ups in the West, a group of PTUs were transferred to the administration department.

However, the PTU's combat capabilities can only be described as lackluster.

After all, the PTU's daily tasks are just patrolling the streets and supporting other departments.

After assembling the PTU officers, Superintendent Yang and Fang Jiexia did not forget to conduct a pre-battle pep talk.

Superintendent Yang began, "This operation is to salvage all the reputation the police force has lost! It's to show everyone that the Hong Kong police are capable of bringing criminals to justice!"

Fang Jiexia then took out a camera and said to the PTU officers, "The footage of the operation will be transmitted to all the citizens of Hong Kong immediately, so that the citizens can regain their confidence in the police force. We will install this kind of camera on every commander."

"Mobile command vehicle, from the moment you enter the site, your every move will be displayed on the screen! Everyone be careful!"

After Fang Jiexia finished speaking, Superintendent Yang shouted loudly, "Any more questions?"

"NO, SIR!" the PTU officers shouted loudly, their imposing manner quite impressive.

Superintendent Yang nodded: "Check your watch, we'll be leaving in five minutes!"

Subsequently, all available resources from the PTU, fire department, medical services, and other administrative departments were mobilized and rushed to the scene.

Meanwhile, many media outlets that had received the news also drove their interview vehicles to the scene.

The area around the building was immediately surrounded by a huge crowd.

Meanwhile, the members of the Major Crimes Unit, who were watching the show from the sidelines, couldn't help but complain.

Zhang Zhiheng was already annoyed, and seeing these people's actions made him even more speechless: "Are these office workers out of their minds? Making such a big fuss, mobilizing so many vehicles, are they afraid the bandits won't know they're here?"

Li Wenbin, who was reading a magazine nearby, said without looking up, "How do you know they didn't do it on purpose?"

"Huh?" Zhang Zhiheng's eyes widened immediately. "A show?"

Li Wenbin chuckled and said, "When that guy in military uniform knelt down to surrender, how badly was our Hong Kong police criticized? Of course, they want to salvage the image of the police force in the eyes of the citizens of Hong Kong through this method!"

"The idea is good, though. I wouldn't go to such lengths, but I would still do it! However... strength is a very important thing!"

At this point, a glint of light appeared in Li Wenbin's eyes.

Li Wenbin is a man of principle, but that doesn’t mean he’s a stubborn fool.

He already knew about office politics.

He knew there would be many obstacles to his rise to power. So when his father brought it up, Li Wenbin agreed without much thought.

After all, both Li Shutang and Chen Jiajun were helping him, so he had no reason not to cooperate.

Hearing Li Wenbin's words, Zhang Zhiheng couldn't help but laugh: "How can the uniformed group compare to us frontline police officers?"

Looking at the bustling crowd outside, Li Wenbin said calmly, "We'll have our chance to make a move. Now all we have to do is watch them build their empires, watch them host lavish banquets, and finally... watch their empires collapse!" (End of Chapter)
