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

In the anti-triad unit's office area, the officers were all busy with their own tasks.

Some people are reviewing case files, some are writing reports, and some are making phone calls.

Huang Zhicheng's gaze swept across everyone's face, but everyone remained calm.

Huang Zhicheng sneered inwardly.

Keep pretending.

Once I bring Lin Yaodong back, let's see how you pretend then.

He left the police station quietly without alerting anyone.

Huang Zhicheng did not drive a police car, but instead hailed a taxi on the street.

"Go to the West District Police Station."

The driver glanced at him in the rearview mirror, said nothing, and started the car.

Huang Zhicheng leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. He needed to think carefully about how to proceed with his next move.

Going directly to Causeway Bay to arrest people is definitely not an option.

Lin Yaodong has been operating in Causeway Bay for many years, with informants everywhere.

The moment he makes a move, the other side receives the message.

At that point, let alone arresting anyone, we probably won't even get to see Lin Yaodong.

We must find Chan Ho-nam first.

Chan Ho-nam was the key figure in last night's conflict.

Once we find him, we can find out whether Lin Yaodong was involved.

Even if Chan Ho-nam doesn't admit it, other clues can still be found from him.

But where is Chan Ho-nam now?

The most dangerous place is the safest place, which must be Lin Yaodong's company.

These gangsters usually get their injuries treated privately, not at the hospital...

The streets of Hong Kong Island rushed past the car window, leaving long streaks of light trailing across it.

This city looks glamorous during the day, but at night it hides filth and grime.

What he had to do was dig out the filth hidden in the shadows and expose it to the sunlight.

Even if it gets your hands dirty in the process.

Twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped in front of the Western District Police Station.

Huang Zhicheng paid the fare, got out of the car, and walked into the police station.

The Western District Police Station is different from the Wan Chai Police Station, where the Anti-Triad Unit is located. The Western District Police Station is mainly responsible for criminal cases.

The person Huang Zhicheng was looking for was Ma Haotian, an inspector in the Financial Investigation Division of the Western District Police Station's Narcotics Division.

The two had collaborated several times, and Huang Zhicheng greatly admired Ma Haotian's abilities and personality.

Ma Haotian is straightforward, serious in his work, and honest; he's the kind of person you can trust.

More importantly, Ma Haotian, like him, deeply abhorred the underworld.

Huang Zhicheng entered the police station building and went straight to the third floor.

Ma Haotian's new office is at the end of the corridor; it's a small room of only ten square meters.

When Huang Zhicheng opened the door, Ma Haotian was hunched over the table writing a report, surrounded by piles of file boxes.

"Ah Tian." Huang Zhicheng knocked on the door frame.

Ma Haotian looked up, saw Huang Zhicheng, and was taken aback: "Huang sir? What brings you here?"

"I need to talk to you." Huang Zhicheng walked in and closed the door.

Ma Haotian got up to pour water for Huang Zhicheng, but Huang Zhicheng stopped him, saying, "No need for that, I'll leave after I finish speaking."

Ma Haotian sat down again and looked at Huang Zhicheng: "What's the rush?"

Huang Zhicheng cut to the chase: "I want to arrest Lin Yaodong."

Ma Haotian was very surprised.

He was not only surprised that Huang Zhicheng wanted to arrest Lin Yaodong.

They were also surprised that Huang Zhicheng, the head of the anti-triad unit, didn't use his own people and instead came to him.

"Arrest Lin Yaodong?" Ma Haotian frowned. "Why me? Is your anti-triad unit out of people?"

Huang Zhicheng smiled wryly: "There are people, but I can't trust them."

Ma Haotian understood.

It's nothing new that there are moles within the police force.

"What do you want to do?" Ma Haotian asked.

Huang Zhicheng nodded and briefly explained his plans.

"Last night's conflict was orchestrated by Lam Yiu-tung's henchman, Chan Ho-nam. I need to find Chan Ho-nam first, and then use him as a breakthrough to bring Lam Yiu-tung back for investigation. Once Lam Yiu-tung is in the police station, I'll have forty-eight hours. Forty-eight hours is enough time for me to find incriminating evidence against him."

He felt that Chan Ho-nam must also be hiding in Lam Yiu-tung's company.

People like Chan Ho-nam, who get injured in a fight, don't go to the hospital, so no one bothered to verify anything.

Ma Haotian was silent for a moment, then asked, "Are you confident? Lin Yaodong is no ordinary person; he might have someone backing him."

"I know," Huang Zhicheng said, "but this is the best opportunity. Lin Yaodong wants to run for councilor, and he wouldn't dare to act recklessly at this time."

Furthermore, I checked, and Lin Yaodong will be attending a meeting at the property management company in Causeway Bay this morning. We can ambush him there..."

Ma Haotian is essentially an upright and responsible policeman, and he doesn't want to see Lin Yaodong actually elected.

A district councilor with a triad background?

It's absurd to even think about it.

If Lin Yaodong is elected, what will be the point of the police force's efforts in cracking down on triads over the years?

Is this a joke?

"Boss?" Zhang Ziwei called out when he saw that Ma Haotian didn't speak for a moment.

Although his good friend Su Jianqiu said he wanted to quit his job and work with Lin Yaodong, that's one thing and that's another.

Zhang Ziwei is also an upright and responsible police officer.

Like Ma Haotian, he didn't want to see a gangster-like councilor.

When Su Jianqiu said he wanted to be with Lin Yaodong last time, it was because he had seen that Chen Yongren had been an undercover agent and was not well received when he returned to the police force that he said that.

But after thinking about it again, he still wanted his good friend to come back and become a policeman.

He had mentioned Su Jianqiu's idea to Ma Haotian.

Ma Haotian didn't object much; they were quite conflicted about Su Jianqiu's choice.

On the one hand, they understood Su Jianqiu's situation.

It's not a pleasant feeling to go undercover for years, risking your life, only to be welcomed back.

Although Lin Yaodong came from a triad background, he was at least good to his brothers.

After Chen Yongren left the police force, Lin Yaodong arranged a job for him and reportedly even gave him a house.

In contrast, the police force's actions toward Chan Wing-yan are truly disheartening.

On the other hand, they felt that Su Jianqiu should come back.

Police are symbols of justice and the force that upholds the law.

If even the police associate with gangsters, what kind of society is that?

But at this moment, Zhang Ziwei was thinking: to bring Lin Yaodong back from Causeway Bay without any evidence... even Jesus couldn't do that...

After weighing the options, Ma Haotian finally nodded and said, "Okay, but wouldn't it be too few of us?"

Huang Zhicheng smiled slightly, "That's enough. If Lin Yaodong dares to lay a hand on us, we'll report him for assaulting a police officer. And..."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Too many people would be a bad thing. We're going to 'ask' Lin Yaodong for assistance in the investigation, not to arrest him. We need to be polite, follow the legal procedures, and not give him any excuses."

Ma Haotian was somewhat surprised, thinking to himself, "As expected of the leader of the anti-gang squad."

That's a brilliant move.

If they make a big show of arresting people, without sufficient evidence, Lin Yaodong can hire lawyers and media outlets to smear them.

However, if he is "asked" to assist in the investigation, and the attitude is polite and the procedure is legal, Lin Yaodong will find it difficult to cause trouble.

If he refuses, he is obstructing official business; if he resists, he is assaulting a police officer.

No matter what you do, it will leave you with something to hold against you.

"When will we take action?" Ma Haotian asked.

"Now," Huang Zhicheng glanced at his watch, "Lin Yaodong should already be at the company. I received word that he's having a meeting with the property management this morning, which will probably last until noon. If we go there now, we should be able to catch him."

"Okay." Ma Haotian stood up and said to Zhang Ziwei, "Awei, get ready, we're going with Inspector Huang."

Zhang Ziwei nodded and took out handcuffs, a baton, and a walkie-talkie from the drawer.
