Hong Kong variety show: Hung Hing, are you contributing to society?

The phone rang a few times before being answered.

"Feed?" A steady male voice came from the other end, slightly hoarse with the sound of early morning, but clear and distinct, the kind of tone unique to high-ranking police officers.

"Good morning, Superintendent Situ." Lin Yaodong's voice carried just the right amount of amusement and politeness, neither overly warm nor distant.

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, a slight surprise on his face, but he quickly responded, his tone becoming polite and formal: "Mr. Lin? Good morning. I didn't expect to receive your call so early. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Situ Jie is known for his shrewdness and ability to handle complex relationships.

When Lam Yiu-tung decided to "transform" his triad business, gradually launder his money, and get involved in legitimate business and community affairs, he first learned about this police superintendent through various channels.

"Sorry to disturb Superintendent Situ's rest," Lin Yaodong said politely. "It's nothing serious. This morning, my company's men happened to catch two unruly guys red-handed while handling business at the dock."

"I think it's best to leave this kind of matter to the police. I wonder if Superintendent Situ would be interested in sending someone to take over?"

"Oh?" Situ Jie's voice clearly showed a hint of interest. The sound of papers turning could be heard in the background, as if he were working. "Caught red-handed? Mr. Lin is right..."

"Drugs," Lin Yaodong uttered clearly. "The quantity isn't small. We've already taken control of the two deliverymen. They're inside my property management company."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Situ Jie was clearly processing the information quickly and assessing its implications.

Lam Yiu-tung, the head of Hung Hing, is also the chairman of "Yiu-tung Property". He is currently enjoying great popularity and even intends to run for district councilor.

Whether he proactively approached him or openly handed over drugs to the dealer, the underlying message is worth pondering.

They used to meet privately, but now that they're running for councilor, are they planning to do it openly...?

Regardless, the seizure of drugs and the arrest of drug dealers were a real achievement for the police, especially for the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) under his supervision.

Especially at a time when the drug problem is receiving increasing attention from society.

"Mr. Lin's dedication to maintaining community safety and fighting crime is truly admirable," Situ Jie said with a genuine smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your support of our police force! I will send someone over immediately to take over and handle this matter seriously!"

"Superintendent Situ, you're too kind. Cooperating with the police is the duty of every good citizen," Lin Yaodong said with a smile. "The suspect and evidence are with me and can be transferred at any time. Superintendent Situ should know the address."

"Of course." Situ Jie smiled as well. "I'll immediately send my most capable men over. They'll be there within ten minutes."

"Okay." After Lin Yaodong finished speaking, the two exchanged a few more polite words and then hung up the phone.

Gao Jin listened quietly to Lin Yaodong, and only after Lin Yaodong put away his phone did he ask in a low voice, "Brother Dong, who will Situ Jie send?"

This was their first public contact.

Xiao Fu and Jiang Xin also looked at Lin Yaodong.

Lin Yaodong sat back in his chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

"If I'm not mistaken, it will be Qiu Gang'ao who comes, not Zhang Chongbang."

"Qiu Gang'ao?" Gao Jin was not unfamiliar with this name; he was one of the more prominent young inspectors in the police force.

"Yes," Lin Yaodong nodded.

Jiang Xin asked, "Is there any explanation behind this?"

Lin Yaodong said, "Situ Jie is a smart man. He knows Zhang Chongbang's temperament; he hates evil and is so principled that he is almost stubborn."

"If we send him here, he'll see us here and find fault with everything we do, and he'll want to take us all back to the police station for questioning..."

"Even if you can't take anyone with you, it will still make everyone unhappy and offend me for no reason."

"But Qiu Gang'ao... is different. He's tactful, knows how to adapt, and knows what can be taken seriously and what can be overlooked. Sending him here will ensure things are handled beautifully, satisfying both sides."

Gao Jin understood: "So, Situ Jie is trying to curry favor with you while ensuring a smooth 'handover'."

Jiang Xin asked, "Can we have normal contact from now on?"

Xiao Fu also looked at Lin Yaodong.

Lin Yaodong nodded, then shook his head. "We still need to control ourselves and be mindful of our limits..."

"We can do more mutually beneficial things..." Lin Yaodong said casually, "He makes things convenient for me, and I'll give him credit..."

He looked out the window toward Arsenal Street in Wan Chai, where the police headquarters is located, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

..........

Less than ten minutes later, a commotion was heard downstairs.

"Bang—"

The glass door to the lobby on the first floor of the property management company was pushed open, and a cool morning breeze swept in, rustling the leaves of the green plants placed at the front desk.

Footsteps sounded, steady and powerful.

Four figures in crisp police uniforms filed in, the insignia on the shoulder of the lead officer indicating he was an inspector.

He was tall and handsome, with a sharp look in his eyes, but the faint smile that habitually played at the corners of his mouth softened his sharpness, making him appear capable and tactful.

Lin Yaodong recognized the face—it was the "Chef Xie" who later went to extremes due to the cruel twists of fate... No, in this world, he was Inspector Qiu Gang'ao of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau.

The three men behind him were also dressed in uniforms and exuded a powerful aura.

He had a flippant gaze and a hint of disdain at the corners of his mouth; his nickname was "Young Master."

One with an expressionless face but unusually sharp eyes, bursting with energy.

There was also an older man, with a kind face, but who was very capable. He was Uncle Quan.

These were Qiu Gang'ao's most capable subordinates, the old crew from "The Wrath of the Gods".

The moment Qiu Gang'ao stepped into the lobby of Yaodong Property Management, his eyes scanned the area rapidly, like radar.

The lobby is spacious and bright, with a simple and modern decor. The receptionists are dressed in appropriate uniforms and have professional smiles on their faces.

Several people dressed in "Yiu Tung Property" uniforms or security uniforms were walking around or talking in hushed tones. When they saw them come in, they just gave them calm looks, without the panic, avoidance or provocation that is common when gangsters see the police.

The entire environment was well-organized, more like a legitimate company than a tribal organization.

A fleeting hint of surprise crossed his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

Their gazes were fixed on Lin Yaodong, who came out from inside.

Qiu Gang'ao immediately put on a standard, impeccable professional smile, strode forward, and extended his hand: "Mr. Lin, hello. I am Inspector Qiu Gang'ao of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau. I am here to receive the suspect on the orders of Superintendent Situ."

Lin Yaodong smiled and extended his hand to shake hands with Qiu Gang'ao.

Qiu Gang'ao's hand was firm and strong, while Lin Yaodong's hand was warm and steady.

"Chief Qiu, I've long admired your name. I've heard that there's a young and promising inspector in the police force, with strong work ability and a straightforward personality. Meeting you today, I can confirm that you truly have an extraordinary presence and live up to your reputation."

Lin Yaodong's praise was just right, flattering the other party without appearing overly obsequious.

Qiu Gang'ao was somewhat surprised.

He never expected that someone like Lin Yaodong would know him and be so polite to him.

This instantly improved his opinion of Lin Yaodong.
