Hong Kong movies: Do you love your sister-in-law or gold?

Chapter 47: The Charm of Mrs. Anna (asking for monthly ticket)
The international airport that Hong Kong Island plans to build on Lantau Island is still on the drawing board.

Duke George and Lady Anna's plane still landed at Kai Tak Airport in Kowloon City.

For Hong Kong people in the early 90s, the British aristocracy still had a very noble filter under Western propaganda.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, both members of the Imperial British Duke family, were visiting Hong Kong for the first time. As they left the airport, the streets were lined with people welcoming them or simply watching the excitement.

The Duke and Duchess of George spent the first two days attending events together, followed by Duke George attending social events in the political and business circles, while Lady Anna visited the community and explored folk culture.

So in the past two days, Liu Jianming and his team did not have any independent security tasks, they only needed to sit in a follow car and observe the surroundings.

When Duke and Duchess George came out of the airport, they first went through the routine process of children laying flowers.

Then the two of them walked slowly along the main street holding flowers. Lady Anna raised her hand and gestured to the people with a smile, while the bald Duke George looked a little stiff.

Suddenly, there was some noise from the people on the street. A few young people who were watching the excitement in the back row wanted to see what the European aristocrats looked like, and as a result, they pushed and squeezed an old lady's handbag onto the road.

The old lady was a little panicked, but the police officer along the street immediately reached out to stop her from entering the street.

Mrs. Anna walked over, bent down to pick up her handbag, and walked towards the old lady on the street.

While Liu Jianming was watching the changes on the street, he said to Cynthia Rothrock, "Is there something wrong with this old lady and her handbag?"

Rothrock smiled and said, "Don't worry, a few hours before the plane landed, everyone on the street had their belongings scanned."

The flash cameras of Western media that arrived randomly at this time were flashing non-stop. This process was not dangerous, but instead highlighted Mrs. Anna's gentle smile and approachable temperament.

Mrs. Anna wore a half-length skirt that just fell below the knees, a British aristocratic design that perfectly combined British elegance with North American openness.

But there are also flaws, that is, while it highlights the body shape, it is not suitable for large movements, including bending and squatting.

However, because of the restrictions of the narrow skirt, when Mrs. Anna bent down to pick up the handbag, her entire curve looked even more radiant.

Inspector Hu praised her, "Although Madam Anna comes from a poor aristocratic family, she has the ability to transform awkwardness into elegance, something even the ladies of Europe's century-old wealthy families cannot achieve."

The next morning, two photos of Mrs. Anna bending down to pick up the old lady's handbag, and walking to the side of the street and lowering her head to hand the handbag to the old lady, made headlines in media around the world.

Conventionally, the headline photos of such airport receptions are "arranged photos" of the Duke and Duchess of George receiving flowers from children together.

But there was no way, Mrs. Anna's graceful curves and elegant temperament attracted too much spotlight and film.

Only within the Imperial British delegation, the expressions of some of the accompanying old white male nobles turned ugly.

After two days of traveling together, Duke George and Lady Anna finally settled into their respective comfort zones.

Duke George began to attend some cocktail parties held by Yingzi Trading Company and also supported projects of some remnants of Chinese traitors.

On these occasions, without Mrs. Anna to divert the attention, he occupied the absolute C position.

Mrs. Anna happened to dislike high-class cocktail parties, and her next plan was to attend a children's reading class in the community.

As well as visits to the welfare department's homeless placement and alcoholics assistance activities.

During these trips, Lady Anna specifically requested a four-person escort. British MI4 and Hong Kong's G were responsible for perimeter security and personnel screening.

For the past few days, Liu Jianming and his three teams have been maintaining a work pattern of one group maintaining security, one resting, and one reconnoitering the terrain for the next day. Each group's security duties last eight hours, and if Lady Anna returns to the manor prepared for Duke George in the evening, their security duties will be handed over.

So the intensity is not very high, it is quite relaxing.

On the fifth day of the trip, Liu Jianming called Inspector Hu and Officer Luo into the room for a meeting.

Liu Jianming pointed to the layout diagram on the table and said, "Tomorrow's schedule is very complicated. I would like to ask two police officers for external assistance."

At this time, in addition to the three team leaders, there were also three team members under Liu Jianming: Zhang Jiahui, Li Baiqiao, and Ma Ailin.

According to the original arrangement, Liu Jianming's team will be responsible for security during the day tomorrow, Luo Fuluo's team will take a rest, and Inspector Hu's team will survey the terrain for the day after tomorrow in advance.

"Hong Kong films are very popular in both the UK and Europe. Mrs. Anna is a big fan of Hong Kong gangster films and gun-fight films."

"So her schedule for tomorrow is to visit Shao Laoliu's Clearwater Bay Studios."

"Shao Laoliu's studio, in addition to his own TV station, is also rented out to dozens of other small and medium-sized film companies, with over a thousand people working there every day."

"Some of these demolition technicians have a high turnover rate, so registering all of them is impossible."

Li Baiqiao added: "When we were inspecting yesterday, we also discovered that because Hong Kong films are exported to Europe and the United States, the Clearwater Bay Studios has become a popular tourist attraction for tourists from Europe, the United States and northern China."

"There are thousands of tourists every day, and Mrs. Anna explicitly requested that no one be disturbed and that the area not be cleared."

Inspector Hu and Officer Luo also understood the special nature of tomorrow's itinerary. Although visiting homeless people or alcoholics in the past few days seemed dangerous, there were actually few people involved and it was easy to control.

The Clearwater Bay Studios is ostensibly a safe public area, but the personnel there are too complex and too uncontrollable.

Liu Jianming drew a line on the Clearwater Bay layout map. "For safety reasons, we declined Mrs. Anna's request to see the gunfight and explosion scenes."

"She'll be observing this street tomorrow. She'll be filming a Republic of China-era martial arts scene. The scene should be lively, but not as uncontrollable as an explosion."

"We will protect Mrs. Anna as she visits the main street. We hope that two officers will lead the team to clear the area along both sides of the street and be responsible for high-altitude security."

Police Officer Luo and Inspector Hu added a few details based on their experience. Ma Ailin actively participated, while Zhang Jiahui just smoked silently.

Liu Jianming and others have long been accustomed to this. When he was in the police academy, he was taciturn and trained hard. He spoke little and had no close friends with anyone.

After Liu Jianming got the information from Big Circle Leopard that Mrs. Anna might have been assassinated, he spent a lot of time choosing the team.

He wanted to make sure that nothing happened to Mrs. Anna, so in addition to his own team, he had to keep abreast of the movements of Rothrock and Inspector Hu's teams.

When he was selecting team members, he deliberately did not choose Zhao Jiabao. In addition, although Zhong Liwen disliked him, because of his dissatisfaction and hot temper, he could not hide his feelings in front of him and always liked to show them.

Liu Jianming deliberately did not choose these two people when selecting team members, so that he would have a "megaphone" for information from the other two groups.

The familiar Zhao Jiabao and Zhong Liwen were placed in other groups, which resulted in his group only being able to choose a new face like Zhang Jiahui.

Although Zhang Jiahui is quiet and aloof, his execution ability is impeccable, so Liu Jianming is not worried that he will hold him back.

The next day, Liu Jianming noticed that Mrs. Anna, who came to the Clearwater Bay studio, had a different temperament.
