Chapter 33 The Fog Enveloping the Commissioner

Yuan Haoyun subconsciously turned to look at Lu Qichang, his eyes conveying a question: "You expected this outcome?"

Lu Qichang gently shook his head.

Yuan Haoyun immediately said, "Sir, leave this matter to me."

Superintendent Chen immediately objected, saying, "No."

"You have to stay and watch the house."

Yuan Haoyun looked bewildered: "This is the West Kowloon Regional Police Station, do we still need to leave someone to guard the premises?"

Superintendent Chen let out a cold laugh: "They dare to openly run wild on our turf, do you think we need to?"

Yuan Haoyun was speechless for a moment.

Superintendent Chan immediately ordered, "Inspector Ho, you can pick anyone from the Major Crimes Unit."

"I have only one request—bring Fang Xiangdong back to me alive!"

He Chu responded loudly:

"Yessir!"

Without hesitation, he immediately began assigning tasks: "Brother Ji, Ah Ren, Ah Rong, take your sidearms and follow me!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Ji, Chen Yongren, and Yang Jinrong stepped forward.

The officers in Group C knew perfectly well that Lin Kuangtian and his group from Group A were not innocent; they had indeed embezzled the ten million Hong Kong dollars.

However, in order to protect the reputation of the entire police force, He Chu deliberately portrayed Lin Kuangtian as someone who had been "maliciously framed".

They already admired He Chu greatly, and now seeing him go to such lengths for his brothers in Group A, they admired him even more.

Without saying another word, the three turned and quickly ran back to the office to prepare their equipment.

Yuan Haoyun couldn't stand it any longer: "Big sir, why don't you bring our group along too?"

Superintendent Chen glared at him fiercely. "If Ah Chu needs manpower, he will naturally ask."

"Come with me, I have something to tell you."

Yuan Haoyun followed Superintendent Chen to the side, completely bewildered.

Superintendent Chen recounted the entire story in detail, and Yuan Haoyun's eyes widened in astonishment!

He never imagined that things would turn out so strangely and unexpectedly.

He then realized why Superintendent Chen hadn't let him go with them.

The truth of the matter hasn't even been figured out yet, so what can we do by going along?

Is it purely for seeking thrills?

Watching He Chu and his three companions walk away, Yuan Haoyun sincerely exclaimed, "Inspector He is truly a man of great integrity!"

"As expected, he puts brotherhood first."

Superintendent Chen scoffed, "This kind of impulsive loyalty—let's do it less often in the future."

"Uncle Tian is really getting senile; he actually let those two bastards, Thief Ming and Scalp, sway him!"

Yuan Haoyun was silent for a moment before asking, "So, I really have no choice but to stay and guard the house?"

Superintendent Chen lowered his voice and said, "We must be prepared for both possibilities."

"It would be best if He Chu could successfully get the person back."

"If we can't get it back, we'll have to activate our backup plan immediately."

"But you don't need to worry too much."

"We have someone backing us up."

Yuan Haoyun quickly asked, "Was it really the top leader who personally gave us the instructions?"

Superintendent Chen retorted, "What else did you think?"

Yuan Haoyun breathed a sigh of relief: "With Brother You backing us up, things shouldn't go too wrong."

Superintendent Chen's expression turned very serious: "That's not necessarily true."

Yuan Haoyun's heart skipped a beat, and he asked cautiously, "Officer, is there something you're hiding from us?"

Officer Chen pulled him and Lu Qichang into the office, tossed each of them a Marlboro, and then slowly said, "Qichang, tell Haoyun about Chu's guesses."

Superintendent Chan is a very adaptable superior.

He would do everything in his power to maintain the authority of his subordinates outside, but once he returned to his own office, he wouldn't be so particular.

Yuan Haoyun looked completely bewildered: "What guess?"

Lu Qichang began, "Ah Chu has never understood why Commissioner Luo of the ICAC has repeatedly caused trouble for our police station."

Yuan Haoyun said in confusion, "Didn't Ah Chu say that Commissioner Luo had his eye on those ten million Hong Kong dollars?"

Lu Qichang looked at him helplessly, "Those were just polite words for outsiders, why did you take them seriously?"

Yuan Haoyun's face was full of question marks: "Just polite talk?!"

"What do you mean?"

Lu Qichang patiently explained, "That's to give the boss and the top leader a reason to take action, and it's also the basis for our operation to have a legitimate cause."

Yuan Haoyun carefully recalled the situation: "I think this reason is quite reasonable!"

He continued, "Commissioner Luo is, after all, an Englishman."

"As the saying goes, officials travel thousands of miles for money, and I don't believe he came all the way from England to Hong Kong just to serve the people of Hong Kong."

"That ten million Hong Kong dollars was not reported as required."

"Commissioner Luo could easily keep this money for himself."

"He's the boss in the ICAC; nobody can stop him from doing whatever he wants."

Lu Qichang shook his head: "If only things were that simple."

97

Yuan Haoyun frowned: "Could there be some other hidden story here?"

Lu Qichang said, "Ah Chu has analyzed it; Commissioner Luo was personally appointed by the Governor of Hong Kong."

"He was one of the Governor's most trusted confidants."

"7

"The Three Departments and Thirteen Bureaus have no authority to monitor him; on the contrary, he can monitor the entire Three Departments and Thirteen Bureaus."

"If he really wanted to make money, there are plenty of safer and more profitable ways."

Yuan Haoyun thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

He is indeed very good at solving cases, but when it comes to political matters, he is a complete novice.

"So what exactly did Ah Chu say?"

Superintendent Chen said, "Haoyun will have to find out about this sooner or later; it's better to find out sooner rather than later."

Lu Qichang's expression turned very serious. "According to Achu's deduction, this matter may have three layers of meaning."

"The first, and ideal, scenario is that Commissioner Luo is indeed greedy for money."

"He simply wants those ten million Hong Kong dollars."

Yuan Haoyun quickly followed up, "What about the second scenario?"

Lu Qichang said with a wry smile, "The second possibility is that Commissioner Luo is hostile to our police and simply wants to crack this case to attack us."

Yuan Haoyun frowned and said, "How is that possible?"

"Even if he's hostile towards us, it's impossible for him to believe a drug dealer rather than us police officers, right?"

"not to mention----"

"To put it bluntly, if Commissioner Luo really wanted to deal with us, would he need to resort to such clumsy methods?"

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Political Department—any department can do it."

"And the British people in those departments are from the same country as him."

Superintendent Chen and Lu Qichang both nodded, indicating their agreement with his statement.

Yuan Haoyun then asked, "What is the third guess?"

Lu Qichang sighed deeply: "The third possibility is that Commissioner Luo is hostile towards us."

"But he was using the Xiang Dong incident to test our bottom line."

Ok?

Yuan Haoyun was taken aback: "Testing us?"

Lu Qichang nodded solemnly: "Yes, it's a test."

"If we back down this time, he will definitely have a whole host of tricks up his sleeve for us to follow."

Yuan Haoyun couldn't understand it at all: "Why would he do that?"

Lu Qichang shrugged. "We'll have to find out the secret ourselves."

Yuan Haoyun said with a wry smile, "It's not that easy to investigate."

"He's a high-ranking ICAC commissioner, with an entire building of people at his beck and call."

"Even if we send out all the officers from our West Kowloon Headquarters, we might not be a match for him."

"Moreover, he was a very important figure, second only to the Governor of Hong Kong."

"We might expose ourselves before we even find anything out."

Luk Kai-cheung wholeheartedly agreed: "That's right, investigating an ICAC commissioner is extremely difficult."

Yuan Haoyun said irritably, "It's simply an impossible mission!"

Lu Qichang, however, slowly countered, "Have you ever considered why such a high-ranking figure would harbor such hostility towards our West Kowloon Police Station?"

Yuan Haoyun was stunned for a moment, and his face darkened instantly!

Yuan Haoyun gasped sharply: "Everything else is negotiable."

"But what if Commissioner Luo suddenly becomes hostile towards us for no reason—"

"Won't Ah Chu be in big trouble?"

Superintendent Chen waved his hand gently, "Don't worry, Ah Chu already thought of this."

Yuan Haoyun's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with disbelief: "He even considered this possibility beforehand?"

"What's his brain made of?"

However, he immediately frowned and asked疑惑地问道, "So, how does Ah Chu plan to deal with this?"

Lu Qichang shrugged indifferently, "We'll know once he returns safely."

Yuan Haoyun gave the two of them a thumbs up, "You two are really calm, aren't you worried about him at all?"

Superintendent Chen smiled slightly and said, "I have always had 100% trust in Ah Chu's abilities."

Yuan Haoyun smiled upon hearing this and did not ask any further questions.

Having worked together for so many years, he knew these two men's character all too well—they would never risk the lives of their men for their own career advancement.

They genuinely believed that He Chu had the ability.

At this moment, Yuan Haoyun was filled with intense curiosity about He Chu.

He secretly resolved that he would definitely find an opportunity to have a good talk with He Chu in the future.

The ICAC is a den of thieves and tigers. To be honest, even if he were to personally lead the team there, he wouldn't be able to guarantee that he could complete the mission perfectly.

However, Superintendent Chen and Lu Qichang had complete faith in He Chu, which shows just how outstanding He Chu's abilities were.

Meanwhile, He Chu had already led all the members of Group C to the entrance of the ICAC building.

Looking at the plaque above the entrance that read "Fairness and Justice," He Chu curled up a disdainful sneer.

Is there any absolute fairness or justice in this world?

The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is even less likely to exist.

The usually taciturn Luo Ji spoke first, asking, "Inspector He, what should we do next?"

He Chu smiled faintly and said calmly, "Just follow me and do exactly what I do."

"Ah Rong, you're in charge of holding the body camera."

"From now on, body cameras will be used for recording the entire process."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ji and Chen Yongren turned around at the same time, looked at each other, and were speechless for a moment.

Chen Yongren couldn't help but sigh and said, "Ah Chu, this is clearly just an ordinary camera."

He Chu waved his hand and corrected, "That's not right!"

"From now on, this will be our law enforcement recorder."

"We must record all of our law enforcement processes today in their entirety using this."

Chen Yongren frowned, puzzled, and said, "Isn't this just asking for trouble?"

Police departments in those days certainly didn't use very civilized methods of law enforcement; physical assault was commonplace.

If we record all of this, they'll sue us and win every time; we won't have a chance to defend ourselves.

He Chu gave him a light kick. "Look carefully, this is the ICAC Building!"

Chen Yongren suddenly realized what was going on.

Yes, this is the ICAC Building.

Body cameras do record our every move.

But whose actions will it record more often?

It was the reaction and actions of those people in the ICAC!

Chen Yongren suddenly realized and exclaimed sincerely, "You've thought of everything so thoroughly. How come I didn't think of that?"

Yang Jinrong chuckled softly and said, "Ah Ren, when have you ever seen Ah Chu suffer a loss?"

"You can't go wrong by following him."

Chen Yongren nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"you're right."

"Speaking of which, I have to thank Ah Chu, otherwise I would never have earned so much money in my life."

Luo Ji sighed, "You've got the wrong person to thank. If it weren't for Inspector He, you'd still be getting beaten up on the street right now."

Chen Yongren paused for a moment, then slowly nodded: "Brother Ji is right."

Yang Jinrong didn't say much throughout the entire process.

For him, back when he was studying at the police academy, he had already made up his mind to follow He Chu and accomplish something earth-shattering.

Everything I'm doing now is simply fulfilling a vow I made as a young man.

He Chu led the three men into the ICAC building and immediately revealed his identity: "I am He Chu, Inspector of Unit C, West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit. There is a case that requires Commissioner Luo's cooperation in the investigation."

"Please take us to the commissioner's office."

The ICAC staff at the front desk were stunned, as if they hadn't heard He Chu clearly: "What did you say? Did I hear you right?"

He Chu calmly and evenly repeated what he had just said.

The staff member was completely dumbfounded and could hardly believe his ears.

He Chu's expression remained unusually calm as he slowly pulled out his police ID and a special approval document personally signed by the top leader.

The staff looked at the certificates and documents in front of them and found them utterly absurd and laughable.

Historically, it has always been the ICAC that arrests people from the police force. This is the first time he has ever heard of a police officer coming to the ICAC and asking them to cooperate with an investigation.

Even more outrageous is that the person they asked to cooperate with in the investigation was none other than the Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC)!

The staff's first reaction was that this person must be joking.

But who would joke about something so momentous?

The staff member said irritably, "Officer Ho, please stop joking with us—"

He Chu remained calm and said, "I'm not joking."

"I am currently performing official duties."

"I don't think you'd think I'm joking."

"When your ICAC officers go out on duty with their credentials, do people think you're joking?"

"I'm a police officer. What makes you think I'm joking?"

The staff member's face instantly turned very ugly.

He Chu said calmly, "Don't make me feel that your ICAC staff don't even have the most basic professional qualities."

The staff dared not utter another word, and could only say with a bitter face, "The specialist is handling official business in the top-floor office."

He Chu nodded slightly and smiled, "Thank you."

After saying that, he led the three of them into the elevator and pressed the button for the top floor.

The staff stood there stunned for a long time before they finally came to their senses.

"After working in this line of work for a long time, you really do encounter all sorts of strange things."

"The police came to the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) and actually needed the Commissioner's help?"

"Is it absolutely necessary to find a specialist? Can't the deputy specialist, the chief investigation officer, or the general manager help you?"

He was about to tell his colleague about this strange occurrence when suddenly a chill ran through him: "Something's not right!"

"They didn't come here seeking help from the commissioner at all."

"They're taking the commissioner back to the police station for a chat!"

hiss!

The staff member gasped sharply.

He simply couldn't believe that any police officer would be so audacious.

The staff, regaining their senses, immediately began frantically dialing internal phone lines.

No matter how many times he dialed, the phone was always busy.

The staff were terrified and stumbled to the elevator, where they bumped into Chief Investigator Lu Zhilian.

Lu Zhilian frowned, puzzled, and asked, "What happened? Why are you in such a panic?"

The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) has always been known for its elegance and propriety.

When it was founded, in order to prevent it from being corrupted by the then-ruling police, a group of foreign officials were specially transferred from the UK.

Over time, some of their customs and traditions have been preserved.

For example, the renowned ICAC coffee shop, and this kind of elegant demeanor at all times.

But right now, this staff member has no time to worry about elegance!

He was panting heavily and said urgently, "Director Lu, something terrible has happened!"

Lu Zhilian patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't panic, this is the ICAC, what could possibly happen?"

The staff member said with a distressed expression, "Just now, Inspector Ho Chu of the West Kowloon Regional Headquarters came over with a team of people."

Lu Zhilian, unconcerned, replied, "So what if they come over?"

"Police stations and the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) are sister agencies, so it's only right that they help each other."

The staff member was so anxious he was almost in tears: "That's not how it happened at all!"

"He Chu said he would take the special envoy back to the police station for questioning!"

Lu Zhilian said casually, "What case is so important that it requires the Commissioner's personal assistance? Can't the investigation be conducted within the ICAC? Why do we have to go back to the police station?"

He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly froze, "What did you just say?"

The staff member said with a distressed expression, "He Chu needs to ask Commissioner Luo to return to the police station to assist with the investigation!"

He simply stated bluntly, "He's trying to arrest our Commissioner Luo!"
