Chapter 75: Slapping the Assistant Police Commissioner in the Face (Subscribe)

Brother Zha asked, "According to the police press conference, the frontline commander of this maritime operation is that Inspector Zhang Chongbang. Should we start with him?"

It was obvious that even with Tony and Zha Ge's unscrupulous behavior, they only thought of attacking those at the inspector level.

In the later part of "Infernal Affairs", Han Chen's men actually dared to throw the police superintendent Huang Zhicheng off the building, which had already exceeded the limit of the police force's acceptance.

Liu Jianming said at this time: "Brother Zha, even if we kidnap Zhang Chongbang, will the police force spend tens of millions of face to redeem an inspector?"

"Only by taking down Szeto Kit, a high-ranking police officer, can we attract the attention of the entire Hong Kong media and put enough pressure on the police force in negotiations!"

"Of course, I'll hire someone from outside to carry out this operation. We need to get the goods, but the surface operation won't have anything to do with the South Vietnamese gang!"

Liu Jianming's statement also dispelled Zha Ge and Tony's suspicion that he deliberately lured the South Vietnamese gang into the police trap.

After the news of Szeto Kit's press conference today spread on the street, all the community groups in Hong Kong Island knew that they were stepping on the face of the South Vietnamese gang.

Liu Jianming could now ruin Situ Jie's reputation without involving the South Vietnamese Gang, so the three Tony brothers immediately agreed to cooperate.

Liu Jianming knew that whether he dared to really take action against senior police officer Szeto Kit was the key to whether the three Tony brothers would continue to trust him.

After Liu Jianming left the South Vietnam Gang nightclub, he immediately contacted Qiu Gangao and his four-member group.

Several people agreed to meet at an abandoned warehouse in Yuen Long.

Qiu Gangao got straight to the point: "We robbed the South Vietnamese gang of 8000 million worth of goods as agreed, leaving 2000 million for Zhang Chongbang. What are you going to do to help us take revenge on the police?"

Liu Jianming outlined his plan, saying, "You were wrongfully imprisoned a few years ago, and you have three biggest enemies."

"Zhang Chongbang, who refused to help his brother, Situ Jie, who refused to admit to issuing illegal orders, and the ungrateful wealthy businessman Huo Jingliang."

"You will kidnap Szeto Kit tomorrow and threaten the police to pay 8000 million in face in exchange for Szeto Kit's life."

"At the same time, we request that the Hong Kong Island Police Force, under the command of Zhang Chongbang, be responsible for the face-to-face exchange transaction."

Liu Jianming pointed at Qiu Gangao and the other three and said, "This is to fulfill your first wish. Let Zhang Chongbang make a choice between the lives of his colleagues and superiors and his long-held principles."

Qiu Gangao and the other three nodded. They could not forget the righteous look on Zhang Chongbang's face in court four years ago when he sent them to jail with the "justice in his heart".

During these four years, whenever they were tortured by former prisoners in prison, they would want to force Zhang Chongbang to do the same, to show their satisfaction after violating their principles.

Qiu Gangao said, "Based on my understanding of the police force, even if Situ Jie is used as a bargaining chip, the police force will not hand over 8000 million fans."

"What's more, the police didn't even seize 8000 million noodles."

Liu Jianming said: "From the beginning to the end, the police handing over 8000 million noodles was not even a consideration for us."

"What we want is to put extreme pressure on Szeto Kit, forcing him to beg for mercy before the people of Hong Kong Island, while also achieving your second demand, forcing him to reveal the truth about the case four years ago."

The next morning, Assistant Commissioner of Police Situ Jie had just gotten up when Qiu Gangao and four others had already sneaked into his home.

Before today, no Hong Kong community group had ever dared to take action against senior police officers.

Therefore, there is no special security in Situ Jie's home.

Qiu Gangao and others had surrounded Situ Jie just as he reacted.

One person held him from behind, while the other two held his head with one hand and another covered his mouth and nose with a towel soaked in ether.

Situ Jie graduated from the Police Academy and had learned how to respond in this kind of situation, which was to try to hold his breath and stay awake.

Qiu Gangao then delivered several ferocious punches to Situ Jie's abdomen. Situ Jie screamed in pain, instinctively taking a few deep breaths before collapsing completely.

Qiu Gangao and four others dragged Situ Jie to an abandoned warehouse in Yuen Long. Ignoring Situ Jie's constant questioning after he had just woken up, the four took turns punching and kicking him for an hour.

It is both a revenge from the heart of the four people and an effect similar to a "killing stick".

The reason for beating him for an hour after he refused to communicate was to make Situ Jie give up his fantasy of escaping by talking nonsense, and then he would do as Qiu Gangao and his four companions asked.

One morning, the Assistant Commissioner of Police was absent from work without reason and could not be contacted at home, which aroused the vigilance of the police senior management.

Soon that afternoon, several videotapes were sent to senior police officers at the police headquarters, Zhang Chongbang from the Narcotics Bureau, and the news channels of Hong Kong Island Unlimited and Asia Channel.

The Qiu Gangao and his four companions were very measured. In the early stages of the beating, they tried their best not to hurt Situ Jie's face, so he looked in good spirits in the videotape.

In the videotape, Situ Jie asked the police to redeem him with the 8000 million powder seized at sea the day before, as the kidnappers demanded.

At the same time, Situ Jie emphasized that Inspector Zhang Chongbang would be responsible for the subsequent dialogue and negotiation with the kidnappers.

After watching the videotape, senior police officers immediately held a closed-door meeting.

Except for a few senior officials who suggested putting Situ Jie's life safety first, the vast majority of people were of the opinion not to negotiate or trade with the gangsters.

In the end, the police top brass decided not to make a deal, and Cheung Chong-bang coordinated the rescue mission with the Flying Tigers.

According to the high-level instructions, eliminating this gang of bandits has a higher priority than rescuing Situ Jie.

According to the description in Situ Jie's videotape, Qiu Gangao and four others asked Zhang Chongbang to represent the police force and accept a live interview with a TV station at 7 pm to state the police's response.

Otherwise, Situ Jie would be killed in advance.

At seven o'clock in the evening, under the advance warm-up reports of the two TV stations, a large number of people in Hong Kong Island stayed in front of their televisions, waiting for the official response from the police.

Soon, Zhang Chongbang appeared in the camera with a serious face.

Zhang Chongbang said in a stern tone, leaving no room for doubt: "Listen carefully, you idiots! The Hong Kong police will never make deals with drug dealers."

"This principle will not change just because you kidnapped the Assistant Commissioner of Police."

"I'm telling you right here, no matter which ditch you hide in, we're going to catch you and crush you!"

After seeing the videotape of Situ Jie being kidnapped and hearing the police's response of breaking off relations and arresting him, Zha Ge and Tony completely dispelled any doubts they had about Liu Jianming.

Their only worry now is that Liu Jianming is too ruthless and will eventually implicate the South Vietnamese gang.

Zhang Chongbang's response quickly became popular among the people of Hong Kong Island.

That night until early the next morning, many people were discussing whether Zhang Chongbang, who adhered to principles and fought against violence and protected people, was the rising star of the Hong Kong police.

On the same morning, Situ Jie, who was covered in wounds, wore an ill-fitting coat to cover the bomb wrapped around his chest, which was resonating with his heartbeat.

Situ Jie staggered to the fourth floor of a building in Mong Kok and pushed open the door of the Smurfs Dance Studio.

At this time, Zhang Chongbang's wife, Lan Keying, was giving dance lessons to more than twenty children.

Situ Jie used the chains he brought to lock the studio from the inside.

He pulled out a gun and pointed it at Lan Keying: "Call Abang, my life is worth nothing, I wonder how much yours is worth?"
