Lin Zhengyi knew that if it was just a gang fight that resulted in deaths, even if Huang Peter's failure to keep to the schedule led to the situation becoming so serious, there was still a possibility that the higher-ups would cover it up.

After all, dereliction of duty is a scandal for police officers.

This has greatly damaged the overall image of police officers.

In order not to affect the overall image, the higher-ups may suppress the news and try to cover it up.

In this way, their punishment of Peter Huang will not be too severe. If it is too severe, it will cause some ripples, leading some curious people to investigate what happened and eventually find out about this matter.

Therefore, knowing that Huang Peter would outwardly comply but inwardly defy him, he had Lok Wai-ching find two television reporters. One deliberately followed Huang Peter to record his disgraceful behavior, while the other followed Lin Cheng-yi to record his efforts to save him.

Then, Lok Wai-ching took it to the television station to broadcast.

He knew that exposing the matter would lead to a different outcome.

If the matter isn't exposed, Peter Wong might not be severely punished, but once it is, the police will definitely punish him severely to protect their own image.

Otherwise, the masses will be unhappy.

When the people are unhappy, those in power also suffer.

However, Lin Zhengyi also knew that if he simply exposed Huang Peter's affairs, Huang Peter would certainly be severely punished in the end, but Lin Zhengyi would also incur the dissatisfaction of his superiors.

After all, this affects the collective image of the entire police force!

Although there are internal struggles among the police, there are always a few ironclad rules, the most important of which is that the interests of the collective must not be affected.

If the collective interest is affected, the police will unite to attack them.

Even the local faction above Lin Zhengyi won't protect him.

After all, this also affects their interests.

Finally, there may be no evidence to prove that he did it, so there is no way to punish Lin Zhengyi openly. But such things don't need evidence. They know who the biggest beneficiary is.

Having roughly figured out who did it, even if there's no way to carry out any overt punishment, it's still quite easy to punish Lin Zhengyi in secret.

Lin Zhengyi would simply skip over any opportunities for promotion, salary increases, or anything else.

and so!

Lin Zhengyi then asked Le Huizhen to hire two reporters to take photos, one of Huang Peter and one of him.

In addition to the footage of Peter Huang, footage of Zhengyi Lin trying to save people was also added. This balance allows the incident to be exposed while minimizing its impact.

Isn't it normal for every place to have one or two bad apples?

Of course, Lin Zhengyi only showed footage on the morning news; there was no scene of Huang Peter and his group talking.

Otherwise, if internal strife leads to deliberate delays, causing a situation that could have been easily contained to spiral out of control and result in so many deaths, it would severely damage the overall image of the police force.

As a result of Lin Zhengyi's series of actions, Peter Huang received his due punishment in the morning.

Fired!

After learning of this news and seeing the morning news, the higher-ups quickly held a small meeting and decided on Peter Huang's fate.

Fired!

The group of underlings who were drinking with him were not fired. After all, there were too many of them, and firing them all would have a bad influence. Besides, these people were not the mastermind and their crimes did not warrant death, but they were basically demoted.

Some go down one or two levels, while others go straight to the bottom.

In short, they have all basically left the anti-gangster group.

And with that, Lin Zhengyi's authority was completely established.

Although the members of the anti-triad team had no evidence that Lin Zhengyi was responsible, sometimes many things don't require evidence.

For example, in this case, although they had no evidence that Lin Zhengyi was responsible, there were too many suspicious points. At the same time, they also knew that Huang Peter had recently been at odds with Lin Zhengyi because of Miller's matter, and that the gang fight that Huang Peter experienced was arranged by Lin Zhengyi.

With all these things combined, it's hard for them not to suspect Lin Zhengyi!

And suspicion does not require evidence.

If it feels right, then it is.

of course!

Because there was no evidence, even though they all felt that Lin Zhengyi was responsible, they dared not say anything except for a little more respect, a little more fear, and a little more dread for Lin Zhengyi.

After all, making baseless accusations without evidence is simply slander.

They can't afford to take responsibility for defaming a police superintendent.

at the same time!

Inside Miller's office.

Peter Huang and Miller are both here.

Chapter 640 Cold Treatment

"Sir, you have to help me! I did all that for you. Who knew that if I was just a little late, such a big thing would happen? And who knew that those damn paparazzi would actually take pictures!"

Peter Huang spoke to Miller in a flustered manner.

“Save you? How can I save you? The evidence in this matter is all there. It’s because of your double-dealing and delays that things have become so serious. How can I save you under these circumstances? If I really had to save you, would I still be an official?” Miller looked at Peter Huang with disappointment and said.

“Sir, this whole thing was orchestrated by that Lin Zhengyi. There are just too many suspicious points and too many suspicious things. If we investigate, we can find out the truth!” Peter Huang said hurriedly.

He wasn't stupid; he probably figured out what was going on behind the scenes.

It was Lin Zhengyi who tricked him.

But what if you guessed it?

He has no evidence right now!

Without evidence, there's no way to do anything to Lin Zhengyi.

What's worse, he's already been fired, so he has no way of obtaining evidence.

That's why he came to find Miller.

He wanted Miller to investigate the matter thoroughly, so that there would still be a chance for him to be saved.

But upon hearing it!

Miller immediately shook his head and said, "Let alone whether this matter can be investigated clearly, even if it can, I cannot investigate it."

"The higher-ups think this matter might affect the overall image of the police, so they have decided to handle it quietly while it hasn't yet had a major impact on the image of the police, and let the storm pass quickly."

"In that case, I can't investigate this matter. If I do, I'll be disobeying orders from above, do you understand?"

Hear this!

Peter Huang's face immediately fell, and he said, "Coco... what am I going to do now?"

Hear this!

Miller pondered for a moment before speaking, "Here's what we'll do: you go back and rest for a while. Once things have calmed down, I'll figure out a way to bring you back!"

"Of course, you definitely won't be in your original position then. Are you okay with that?"

Upon hearing this, Peter Huang's face immediately lit up with joy, and he nodded quickly, saying, "I accept, I completely accept!"

How could I not accept it?

He originally thought that being fired meant the end of everything, but now Miller has given him a chance to start over. How could he not be happy and accept it?

Although he definitely won't be in his current position when he rejoins the team, it's still better than being fired and losing everything, right?

"Alright, you should go back and rest for a while!" Miller said again at this moment.

"Yes!"

Peter Huang, beaming with joy, agreed and left.

As he watched him leave, a hint of disdain flashed across Miller's face.

Help Peter Huang return?

How can it be?

Peter Huang made such a huge mistake this time that there's no way he can come back.

The higher-ups would not allow someone with such a stain to rejoin the team.

Why did Miller just agree to let Peter Huang come back?

Very simple!

In order to keep the other party calm.

Regardless, the other party used to be his subordinate and must have some dirt on him. Even if this dirt wouldn't be fatal under normal circumstances, at least right now, he's fighting Lin Zhengyi, and some dirt could affect the final outcome.

Therefore, he must first stabilize Peter Huang, and only after he has dealt with the dirty secrets that Peter Huang possesses can he rest easy.

As for whether Miller's actions might be too unfair to Peter Huang...

There's no such thing as being worthy or unworthy.

It's all about self-interest.

Peter Huang was willing to follow him because he could help the other party get promoted and receive a raise, and protect him from being influenced by other superiors. That's why the other party was willing to follow him. At the same time, he was willing to be the other party's subordinate because the other party could help him control a small part of the anti-triad group's power, help him gain merit, and get promoted and receive a raise.

It's mutually beneficial for everyone.

Now that the other party has lost their original identity and can no longer bring me any benefits, there is naturally no need for me to protect them anymore.

Also!

There is also a deeper reason.

He looked down on Peter Huang.

Although Peter Huang considered himself part of the Westerners, in the eyes of these real foreigners, he was just a yellow-skinned monkey, at most more obedient than other yellow-skinned monkeys.

In this situation, if Peter Huang has any value to him, that's fine. But if he doesn't, he won't waste his energy and ability to protect him.

but!

Miller then thought of Lin Zhengyi.
