Hong Kong film: Refusing to go undercover, the policeman's path to becoming the richest man.

Chapter 64 The Hung Hing and the legitimate world unite to punish each other's intentions; a secret police network is laid to reap the benefits.

Feilong nodded: "That's right, someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes."

Wenjun immediately retorted indignantly, "Brother Feilong, once I'm healed, I'll definitely find that beast!"

"Get me out of here first, these cops don't know what they're going to do to me!"

Feilong said leisurely, "Yes, this matter cannot be left like this."

I'm wondering how to deal with him.

"Cut three times and stab six times? Or bury him alive in cement?"

Wenjun swallowed hard: "Three cuts and six holes, clean and efficient."

"Or we could just pour cement directly."

"But Brother Feilong, you're a legitimate businessman now. Let me handle this dirty work. Don't tarnish your reputation."

Feilong smiled and nodded: "Actually, I initially wanted to cook him myself."

"But Zhicheng advised me that my status is different now, and it would be inappropriate to use knives and guns, as it would have a bad influence."

Wen Jun breathed a sigh of relief: "Zhicheng understands."

Feilong suddenly changed the subject: "You've been lying here for so long, has anyone come to see you?"

Wenjun gave an awkward smile: "I don't have many friends, and I'm not particularly noticeable, so no one comes to my door."

Feilong pressed further, "Brother Leopard didn't come?"

A hint of sadness flashed across Wen Jun's face: "No—"

My mind was in complete turmoil!

If I had known that Hua Fu's side would fail, I shouldn't have let Ma Wang take action in the first place.

Tang Bao is probably dead now, lying in a hospital bed with his life hanging in the balance.

He made up an excuse, saying self-deprecatingly, "My dad's been a gangster all his life, he's got a long record with the police."

Even if he wanted to come visit me, the police wouldn't let him go.

"After all, he is the head of the Yuen Long branch of Hung Hing, a sensitive figure."

Feilong sighed, "Yes, he really can't come."

"In two days, it will be the day for the funeral rites for Brother Leopard. I have to go and see him off in person."

Wenjun was taken aback: "Perform a ritual? What do you mean?"

Feilong gave him a cold look: "You really don't know?"

"You had Ma Wang target Brother Leopard, and by the time he succeeded, your father was already gone."

Wen Jun's lips twitched, his eyelids twitched wildly, and he forced a smile, saying, "Brother Long, are you kidding me?"

Feilong remained unmoved: "When have I ever joked about something like this?"

"After the news of you and Hua Fu being beaten spread, Mr. Jiang directly called Luo Zhiming of Xinliansheng to find out the cause and effect."

"After all, you were beaten up along with Hua Fu."

"Luo Zhiming recounted the whole story."

"Mr. Jiang said he would give Xinlianshengjian an explanation."

"He called me too, and I told him everything I knew."

"He also wanted me to take over as the head of Yuen Long Hall, but I declined."

"He said he would send people to investigate thoroughly and not let Brother Leopard die without knowing the truth."

"Later, Binney Tiger found Horse King and got some information out of him."

Wenjun suddenly roared, "Brother Feilong! Don't believe Ma Wang! He's framing me!"

Feilong laughed mockingly: "Trying to frame you?"

"What's in it for him?"

"Binny Tiger didn't believe it at all when he first heard the news."

This is Brother Leopard's son, how could he do this to his own father?

"He suspected he had been tricked, so he took Ma Wang to the family temple and repeated it in front of all the Hung Hing leaders."

"This time, he even brought out a recording."

Wen Jun's expression changed drastically: "A recording?! When did he record it?!"

Feilong's face was ashen, and he remained silent.

"You are utterly depraved; you're even more beastly than this!"

"How dare they poison their own father?!"

"Binny has already received word and will be coming to 'visit' you soon."

Wenjun lunged forward, shouting hoarsely, "Brother Feilong, save me!"

Feilong didn't even glance at him, spat fiercely on the ground, turned and left, his back view resolute.

Daisy paced back and forth in the room, looking anxious.

Zhao Zhao sensed something was wrong and asked softly, "Daisy, what's wrong? What happened?"

The two had been through life and death together, and Daisy already felt sorry for Zhao Zhao. Now she trusted her completely, so she didn't hide anything: "I'm afraid Feilong might act impulsively and do something irreversible."

Zhao Zhao's heart tightened: "You mean, will Brother Long go to the hospital to cause trouble for Wen Jun?"

Daisy nodded, her voice low: "Brother Leopard and Flying Dragon are sworn brothers."

Who would have thought that Brother Leopard, who spent his entire life living a life of danger, would end up being dragged into hell by his own son?

"I know Feilong's temper; he won't swallow this insult."

"If things really come to a head, Wenjun probably won't survive the night."

Zhao Zhao exclaimed in alarm, "That won't do! Brother Long finally retired; it's not worth it for him to get involved in a murder case again for such scum!"

Daisy said worriedly, "That's what I'm afraid of."

Zhao Zhao thought for a moment and comforted him, "Don't worry, Acheng is here."

He won't let Brother Long do anything reckless.

Daisy listened and a smile finally appeared on her face: "You're right."

After Zhao Zhao's encouragement, Daisy's brows relaxed a bit, and she became concerned about Wang Zhicheng's future: "Zhao Zhao, after this is over, is A-Cheng going back to the police force?"

Zhao Zhao nodded: "Yes, he will go back."

Daisy frowned and advised, "Why don't you talk to him and tell him not to go back?"

The police force's meager salaries are barely enough to make ends meet.

Wouldn't it be better to let him stay and help Ah Long?

"Actually, we already knew he was a policeman."

"It's such a waste to have such a talented person buried in the police station."

Zhao Zhao sighed: "Sister Daisy, you know Cheng too. Once he's made up his mind, no one can change it."

Daisy shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Just like your husband, stubborn as a mule."

For us women, getting them to listen to a single word of advice is harder than climbing to heaven.

"But the problem is, how will you live on that salary alone?"

In fact, the income of police officers is not bad; it is more respectable than that of ordinary white-collar workers.

Compared to the people around Feilong, they naturally seemed to be struggling financially.

In the two years that Wang Zhicheng followed Feilong, his private earnings far exceeded his monthly salary when he was on duty.

Zhao Zhao laughed and said, "Sister Daisy, Cheng isn't short of money right now."

Daisy didn't believe it: "How long has he been with Ah Long? Where did he get the savings?"

"Although he never gambles, whores, smokes, or drinks, he is a respectable person."

"Can----"

"Marriage is a big deal."

"You need to have a house, right? I don't have to live in a villa on the mountaintop, but you should at least have a little place of your own."

"Does this mean we'll be living in police dormitories from now on?"

Zhao Zhao said with a smile, "Sister Daisy, we already have a house!"

"A while ago, Ah Cheng bought a small house on the hillside of Victoria Peak."

"It's a detached villa!"

"ha?"

Daisy's eyes widened: "Are you kidding me?"

Zhao Zhao waved her hands repeatedly: "Really! I'm not lying to you, it's halfway up the mountain."

"I heard from Acheng that many of his colleagues have settled down in that area."

Daisy's expression changed: "Could it be—that she took bribes?"

"That's absolutely unacceptable!"

Zhao Zhao gave a wry smile: "He's with Brother Long all day long, how could he possibly get involved in those dirty things?"

"Besides, who would offer a villa as a bribe to an ordinary police officer?"

Daisy thought about it and agreed that it made sense, but she still felt uneasy.

"No, I still need to find out."

"Acheng is young and has a bright future. One wrong step and he will lose everything."

"That would be too unfair to him."

She genuinely treated Wang Zhicheng like her own younger brother.

Zhao Zhao is not a foolish girl; every word she says is tacitly approved by Wang Zhicheng.

In this city, there are many women like them who put men first.

The most typical example is Han Chen's woman, Mary, a fiercely independent woman who was willing to die for a man.

The problem is, she doesn't know that the man she's risking her life to protect might not need her sacrifice at all.

Just then, footsteps came from outside the door, and Feilong and Wang Zhicheng pushed the door open and entered.

Daisy rushed forward, urgently asking, "Ah Long, what exactly did you do to Wenjun?"

Feilong was taken aback: "Why are you so nervous?"

Zhao Zhao answered for her, "Sister-in-law is afraid you'll go to the hospital and hurt yourself."

Feilong scoffed, "Touch him? I'd rather not touch him!"

Wang Zhicheng stood to the side, smiling as he sized him up.

Feilong sighed and confessed, "That's right, I did have the thought of going to the hospital to end his life on the way here."

"Brother Leopard was a hero all his life, who would have thought he would raise such an unfilial son."

"I really wish I could drag him to Brother Leopard and let him teach this bastard a lesson himself."

"That won't do!"

"I have an elderly mother to support, children to take care of, and a virtuous wife waiting for me to live a peaceful life. If I really did such a thing, how could I face them?"

Daisy was finally completely relieved.

Feilong said calmly, "Actually, it's not even my turn to make a move."

"This kid is doomed."

"To get justice for his brother, Benny will not let him breathe a word more than necessary."

Zhao Zhao frowned: "But Wen Jun is under someone's protection right now, right under the police's noses."

"What else can they do?"

Feilong chuckled: "You think Benny would resort to knives and guns in a hospital or police station?"

Zhao Zhao looked bewildered: "Otherwise what?"

Feilong laughed loudly: "How is that possible!"

"Fighting in that kind of place will only bring trouble and nothing good."

"Binny Tiger isn't a reckless fool; he's a man of both intelligence and skill. How could he do something so stupid?"

Zhao Zhao asked, puzzled, "So what are they planning to do?"

Wang Zhicheng casually uttered two words: "Prison."

"Prison?" Zhao Zhao was startled.

Feilong nodded: "That's right, it's Stanley."

"Given what Wenjun has done, he should be sentenced to life imprisonment if not death."

"If they were just shot dead, that would be clean, but once they enter Stanley, it's like stepping into the gates of hell."

"Hung Hing will not tolerate such traitors who betray their masters and ancestors."

"Therefore, no matter which path he takes, he is destined to die."

"And how many of the people in Stanley are our own people?"

"With just a simple message and some arrangements, could he still survive?"

Zhao Zhao was stunned.

Feilong sighed: "Old people become shrewd, and old ghosts become monstrous. These principles may not be worth much when spoken, but they are all experiences crawling out of blood."

Daisy turned to Wang Zhicheng: "Zheng, will you stop this?"

Wang Zhicheng shrugged: "I work for the police department, not the correctional services that oversees prisons." "This has absolutely nothing to do with me, why should I get involved?"

Daisy finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Feilong then asked, "Now that the case is closed, shouldn't you go back to the team?"

Wang Zhicheng didn't hide anything: "Yes, back to the West Kowloon Headquarters."

"I was recently transferred to the Major Crimes Unit, and I should have been on duty long ago."

"If it weren't for Wenjun and Hua Fu's affairs, I would have taken office long ago."

Feilong looked at him earnestly: "Really not staying? Working with me?"

Daisy quickly interjected, "Brother Long, Zhao Zhao said Cheng is really rich now!"

Feilong frowned: "Acheng, you're a talented person. It would be a waste of your potential to work in the police force."

"If you're willing to work with me for a few years, I'll get you a house on the hillside within ten years."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Zhao immediately chimed in, "Brother Long, we've already bought a house halfway up the mountain and moved in almost a month ago!"

Cough, cough, cough—Feilong almost choked on his breath, staring wide-eyed at Wang Zhicheng: "Acheng, you wouldn't—have taken bribes, would you?"

Upon hearing this, Daisy couldn't help but cover her mouth—Ah Long's thoughts were exactly the same as hers!

Wang Zhicheng chuckled: "Brother Long, I've been working for you ever since I graduated from police academy. If I really took any dirty money, it was just 'tea money' from you."

"But the little bit of hard-earned money you've given me over the years isn't even enough to buy a single brick on the hillside."

Feilong blushed slightly: "That's true, I haven't even settled down at the foot of Victoria Peak myself!"

He then stared at Wang Zhicheng suspiciously: "So, has your family—made a fortune?"

Wang Zhicheng frankly admitted, "I didn't have much of a foundation; I was just lucky."

"My boss happens to be my classmate, and he got me to invest in a fund."

Feilong immediately became interested: "What fund?"

Wang Zhicheng waved his hand: "I heard it's called something like 'Stock God Fund'."

"After receiving several bonuses, my boss simply led the entire team to pool their money and buy several houses on the hillside in one go."

"I was lucky; I got one at the original price."

"The stock market guru fund?!" Feilong's eyes widened in astonishment.

"Your boss actually managed to get in touch with someone to buy this?"

He rubbed his hands together, his tone eager: "Ah Cheng, could you help me arrange a meeting with your boss for tea?"

Zhao Zhao was completely confused: "Brother Long, is this fund really that powerful?"

"Who would choose a name like that? Aren't they afraid of getting mobbed?"

Almost everyone on Hong Kong Island invests in stocks.

The story of turning one's life around overnight is the hottest topic of conversation on the streets.

There are countless stories of people making a fortune from an obscure stock or getting rich overnight by listening to a rumor.

It is these stories that drive countless people to jump into the bottomless pit of the stock market.

Feilong said seriously, "Zhaozhao, you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."

He spoke with a hint of respect: "This stock market guru hasn't been in the business for long, but his skills are astonishing."

"There's a neglected stock in Yuen Long that nobody pays attention to, called Yuen Long Antenna."

"The stock price fell to as low as ten cents, and nobody in the market paid any attention."

"But this stock market guru spotted it at a glance and immediately bought two million shares."

"And then do you know what happened? It increased sixtyfold in three months."

"A thousandfold return in a very short period of time."

Si Zhaozhao's eyes widened instantly, as if sparkling with starlight: "This—is this a story?"

Feilong said solemnly, "It's absolutely true."

"That stock market guru started with an obscure, volatile stock and from then on, his rise was unstoppable."

"Recently, it swept through the stock market, taking away 10% of the Hang Seng Index's market value."

"The whole city was shaken, and countless retail investors followed suit."

"It's a pity that this stock market guru is as elusive as a phantom. Apart from people inside his fund, no one knows his true identity."

"If I could meet him, I would prepare a generous gift and ask him for guidance."

"These days, so many people are scrambling to get a share of the fund that it's impossible to even get one."

"Ah Cheng, you've really hit the jackpot!"

Zhao Zhao was so shocked that she covered her mouth with both hands, her face full of disbelief.

Wang Zhicheng shrugged: "Brother Long, I'm really sorry, that share was arranged through connections by my current boss."

"He specifically sought benefits for our group."

Feilong sighed softly, "It seems I can only watch helplessly from afar."

"Your boss is really something."

Wang Zhicheng nodded, his tone serious: "At least he's much better than my ex."

When Inspector Gao was mentioned, he couldn't help but roll his eyes: "That old officer is simply obsessed."

"Everyone in Hong Kong knows that Brother Fei Long has long since retired from crime, but he insisted that I keep an eye on you for two whole years."

"This is a complete waste of police resources!"

Feilong grinned: "Thank you for carrying my burden for two years."

Wang Zhicheng shrugged: "It's alright, anyway, you've essentially given me double the allowance."

"It's a win-win situation."

Daisy quickly spoke up, "Cheng, how about letting Zhaozhao stay by my side and work for me?"

Feilong chimed in, "Yes, Zhaozhao is very clever. With her help, Daisy has it much easier."

Wang Zhicheng turned to Zhaozhao: "Your sister-in-law wants to bring you along to work. Are you willing?"

Zhao Zhao nodded vigorously: "Of course I'm willing!"

Wang Zhicheng then felt relieved and instructed, "Sister-in-law, Zhaozhao is simple-minded and doesn't quite understand the complexities of society yet, so please take good care of her."

Daisy smiled gently: "I like this girl. I've always considered her my own little sister."

"Don't worry, I will teach her step by step, without any hesitation."

So Zhao Zhao stayed by Daisy's side to gain experience.

Wang Zhicheng wasn't worried that she would be wronged.

The two have similar backgrounds and have gone through hardships together. In addition, with this connection between them, Zhao Zhao's work will surely be smooth and comfortable.

The young couple bid farewell to Fei Long and set off back to Hong Kong Island.

On the way, Wang Zhicheng casually asked, "Can you drive?"

Zhao Zhao nodded: "Yes, I passed my driver's license test a long time ago."

"that is----"

"I don't have the money to buy a car."

Wang Zhicheng laughed: "Then I'll give you one."

Zhao Zhao's eyes widened: "Really? You're giving it to me?"

He nodded: "Of course."

"In our line of work, when a case comes in, it doesn't matter day or night."

"Want me to pick you up and drop you off at get off work every day? That's basically a pipe dream."

"Instead of making you wait for me, I'll give you a car."

"When I'm busy, you can drive home by yourself, or go out for a walk to relax."

Zhao Zhao felt a warmth in her heart, overjoyed, and secretly rubbed her foot against the tip of his shoe: "Acheng, how should I thank you?"

you?"

Wang Zhicheng pretended to be serious: "Stop fooling around, I'm driving."

"We'll settle the score when we get home."

However, the two did not go back together in the end.

Wang Zhicheng first took Zhao Zhao to pick up a BMW MINI, which was small and exquisite, just the right size for the two of them, and was a means of transportation tailored specifically for her.

He had just finished the formalities when the phone rang, and he was urgently summoned to the police station.

Everyone was already in the police station office.

He Chu clapped his hands: "Everyone's here, let's start the meeting."

Yang Jinrong adjusted his glasses and said in a low voice, "Huang Zhicheng has already been noticed by Liu Jianming."

"I estimate they'll make their move soon."

"The question now is, how can we capitalize on their chaos?"

Wang Zhicheng immediately raised his hand: "Arong, the Liu Jianming you're talking about—is it the Liu Jianming from our class?"

Yang Jinrong nodded: "That's right, it's him."

Wang Zhicheng frowned: "How could it be him?"

After a moment's thought, Yang Jinrong gestured to Chen Yongren: "Ren, explain the case to Cheng."

Chen Yongren pulled him aside and explained in a low voice, "Huang Zhicheng, Han Chen, and his wife Mary, the three of them grew up in the same walled village."

"Back then, in order to help Han Chen rise to power, Huang Zhicheng and Mary joined forces to kill Ni Kun."

"And I am Ni Kun's illegitimate son."

After Huang Zhicheng found out, he arranged for me to infiltrate the Ni family as an undercover agent.

"After Brother Chu investigated the inside story, he kicked Huang Zhicheng out of the police force."

"Now, he is Han Chen's number one man."

Wang Zhicheng stared at Chen Yongren in astonishment, his mind reeling from the entanglements of these individuals.

He didn't even bother to think about why Chen Yongren, who was Ni Kun's illegitimate son, could still openly become a policeman.

"What does this have to do with Liu Jianming?" Wang Zhicheng asked, frowning.

Chen Yongren said calmly, "The person who killed Ni Kun back then was Liu Jianming."

"Oh!"

Wang Zhicheng gasped, "You mean—Liu Jianming is an undercover agent planted by Han Chen?"

Abang had been standing by listening, and seeing that Wang Zhicheng had figured things out so quickly, he nodded to himself, "Not bad, he gets it right away."

Wang Zhicheng frowned, his tone flaring with anger: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's just arrest both of them and be done with it."

"What kind of nonsense is it to let them fight amongst themselves?"

What does an organization fear most? A mole within its ranks.

Whether it's the police force, a gang, or a company, once an inside agent is found, the foundation is shaken.

Although Wang Zhicheng himself had also worked undercover, it was precisely because of this that he was even more aware of how destructive such an identity could be.

Abang shook his head: "You can't move now."

"We have a grand plan to follow, and we need these two to put on the show."

Wang Zhicheng was taken aback.

Ah Bang succinctly explained Ni Yongxiao's plan to clean up his past.

Wang Zhicheng's eyes lit up immediately: "Brilliant!"

"If this move succeeds, Ni Yongxiao can completely turn his life around, and the Ni family's drug trafficking network can be eradicated?"

Abang nodded: "That's right."

"Drugs have ruined countless lives."

"We'll take care of as many as we can."

"We must not let them continue to cause harm."

Wang Zhicheng nodded emphatically: "Yes, we must not tolerate this."

At this moment, Yang Jinrong gently tapped the blackboard: "The current situation is that the two have already figured out each other's identities."

"What's the next step? Everyone is welcome to share their thoughts."

"It's about pooling our wisdom."

Abang has always been clear about his hatred: "Neither of them are easy to deal with. Since we've run into each other, let's make them tear each other apart and both suffer heavy losses."

Yang Jinrong waved his hand, saying, "We can't afford to waste that much time."

"There's not enough time, and there aren't enough people."

Wang Zhicheng was taken aback: "Not enough manpower? Aren't we quite well-staffed?"

He Chu reminded him from the side, "Arong, explain to Acheng about the other case we have on hand, so he doesn't misunderstand."

Yang Jinrong immediately chimed in, "We have two more colleagues out there investigating a massive case involving politics, business, the police force, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), and even the underworld." Wang Zhicheng was stunned. "Wait, the Luo Zhiming you mentioned... could it be the Luo Zhiming I know?"

"Chairman of the New Union Group?"

"The leader of one of the top five triads on Hong Kong Island?"

Yang Jinrong shrugged: "It was him."

Wang Zhicheng was startled and suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder!

He was puzzled as to why Xinliansheng would unconditionally support Operation Flying Dragon.

So the root of the problem lies here: they're all one of us!

He was still somewhat incredulous: "I heard that Xinliansheng is planning to retire from the business?"

Is this news true?

Yang Jinrong shook his head: "It's not a rumor, it's a fact."

"Our goal has never been to control a gang."

"We are police officers; controlling gangs is pointless."

Wang Zhicheng immediately chimed in: "But if we can truly get a top-five gangster to back down, how many families can regain peace? The entire Hong Kong Island will be much more stable."

He Chu smiled and nodded: "That's exactly what we need to do."

A surge of warmth welled up in Wang Zhicheng's heart.

This is the police job he dreamed of when he entered the force!

He couldn't help but blurt out, "Ah Luo is really capable!"

Ah Bang, being straightforward, chimed in, "Of course Ah Luo is strong. To go from undercover to gang leader, that's an undeniable skill."

"But the real hero is our team leader. If it weren't for Brother Chu supporting him, A Luo wouldn't have gotten to where he is today."

Wang Zhicheng's eyes widened: "Brother Chu even got involved?"

Yang Jinrong smiled and said, "He was the one who spearheaded the transformation of Xinliansheng."

"Including Ni Yongxiao's whitewashing this time, it was also orchestrated by him behind the scenes."

"Hiss!" Wang Zhicheng exclaimed sincerely, "Brother Chu is awesome!"

"I knew you were a master of deception back in police academy, but I still underestimated you."

Chen Yongren asked in surprise, "Ah Cheng, you knew that back then?"

Wang Zhicheng nodded: "I only graduated after you guys went on your mission, so I know more about Brother Chu's affairs."

"Every student in our class is outstanding."

"But Brother Chu is different; he excels in everything."

"Not only are they top-notch, but their scores in every subject surpass those of the instructors."

"I could tell back then that Brother Chu wasn't going all out." Everyone's eyes turned to He Chu, who simply shrugged and said in a calm tone, "In the end, school is just a place to learn things."

Violence and brute force will not solve the problem.

"The key is to truly make what you've learned your own."

Those present silently shook their heads.

Given his current experience and age, this statement certainly makes sense.

How old were they when they were in police academy? Only eighteen or nineteen, the age of youthful vigor and competitiveness. Who would willingly bow down and admit defeat? Who would want to fall behind?

People like He Chu, who can remain calm and conceal their talents, are truly exceptional.

He Chu clapped his hands, interrupting his thoughts: "We can talk about idle chatter later; the important thing is what we need to do now."

"This case involving the Ni family cannot be delayed any longer."

"We must focus our efforts on getting this matter completely resolved first."

"Only then can I free up my hands to deal with A Luo's troubles."

Everyone responded enthusiastically.

He Chu solemnly reminded him, "We must take this case involving the Ni family very seriously."

"Han Chen, Gandhi, Guo Liang, Black Ghost, and Wen Zheng—all five are leaders of drug trafficking groups!"

"Have you considered the consequences if you let them get away?"

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

He Chu turned to Rong and asked, "Arong, how's the investigation of the undercover agent going?"

Wang Zhicheng was taken aback and blurted out, "Besides Liu Jianming, is there another mole in our team?"

He Chu's expression was cold: "How could there be only one?"

"Han Chen sent in not just one, but several."

Wang Zhicheng's face darkened: "It was actually Han Chen who planted him? He's incredibly audacious!"

He Chu said in a deep voice, "This is another reason why we must prioritize dealing with the Ni family case."

Everyone nodded.

The dangers of having an undercover agent are self-evident.

Yang Jinrong began, "After several months of background checks, in addition to Liu Jianming, I have identified five other highly suspicious individuals."

"It can be basically concluded that they are the pawns planted by Han Chen."

"But there's a difficulty."

Abang frowned slightly: "Han Chen?"

Yang Jinrong nodded: "We can't touch these people yet. We have to wait until Han Chen is arrested before we can take action."

Otherwise, we might alert the enemy and cause chaos throughout the entire operation.

He Chu continued, "The headquarters is furious and has ordered that these traitors be brought to justice no matter what."

Liu Jianming finally confirmed one thing—the information Yang Jinrong had revealed was true.

Huang Zhicheng was indeed secretly following him.

A nameless fire suddenly surged in my heart.

He was furious: "A guy who was discharged from the police force dares to spy on me?"

"Do they think I'm weak and easy to bully, or do they simply not take me seriously at all?"

"Absolutely unforgivable!"

For a moment, he almost wanted to draw his gun and shoot.

Shooting a gun was never difficult for him.

He killed Ni Kun; adding Huang Zhicheng would just mean another life.

Unfortunately, he was using a police-issued pistol.

The ballistic trajectory has already been entered into the system, and once it is used, it will be immediately traced.

If things really come to a head, he can only flee far away and become a fugitive.

"I need to find a chance to get a five-star rifle on the black market."

But this is another problem.

He's a policeman!

As soon as someone sets foot on the black market to buy a gun, the entire Hong Kong underworld will know about it within a day.

This matter would immediately become leverage that others could use against him, and the cost would be too high to be worthwhile.

Two questions are currently weighing on my mind:

Who sent that emergency call text message?

Who is behind Huang Zhicheng?

Liu Jianming's police academy career was not something he coasted through.

Others go to police academy for a better future, but he's risking his life for it.

During his time at school, he always kept a very low profile.

He kept a low profile, almost on par with He Chu and Yang Jinrong.

The difference is that those two were like that by nature, while he dared not make it public.

Because of his special identity—he was an undercover agent.

Back then, he was more focused than anyone else in class.

They were afraid that they might slip up during their duties and be discovered.

If an ordinary police officer makes a mistake, at most he will be reprimanded;

If he makes even the slightest mistake, he will lose his life.

This is a very clear multiple-choice question.

Anyone would have made the same decision.

He studied harder than anyone else, even more diligently than He Chu.

To be honest, He Chu might not be as focused as him in class.

He Chu was incredibly talented. He could not only absorb everything the instructor taught, but also apply it to other situations and make connections between different things.

That innate comprehension was something Liu Jianming could never hope to match.

He had no shortcuts; he could only keep up by studying hard and persevering.

The three most diligent students in the police academy back then were He Chu, Yang Jinrong, and Liu Jianming.

Liu Jianming calmly considered: "Many people know my phone number, and many of my colleagues in the police force know how to contact me."

"Anyone could send me this text message."

"But only two people truly understand what I went through in the past."

"One is Sister Mary, and the other is Han Chen!"

He was confident.

If the police already knew his background, they would have arrested him long ago. How could they allow him to be so free and unharmed now?

So, is it Han Chen or Sister Mary?

After weighing the options repeatedly, he finally concluded that the answer must be Mary!

It couldn't possibly be that short guy.

He remembered clearly how arrogant that guy was when he was burning incense at the temple, shouting something like "Those who achieve great things will stop at nothing," he was simply outrageous.

If Han Chen knew about what had happened to me, he wouldn't even need the Ni family to make a move; that guy would have already sent thugs to silence me.

Thinking of this, Liu Jianming felt a warmth rise in his heart—Sister Mary was always the woman he trusted most, the only light in his darkest years.

If it was Mary who sent the message, then Huang Zhicheng's sudden targeting of him would make sense—Han Chen was preparing to make a move against him.

But one question remains unanswered.

Han Chen has plenty of ways to deal with him.

If you expose his past to the police, the authorities will naturally remove him from the force.

Without his police identity, wouldn't it be easy to control him from now on?

After pondering for a long time, Liu Jianming finally understood: Han Chen dared not!

He was already a top wanted target and a major drug lord that the police were actively pursuing.

If he turns on Han Chen and becomes a witness against him, exposing him like Dong Ge did when he defected to the ICAC, Han Chen will immediately collapse!

It wasn't Mary or Han Chen—there's only one possibility left—Huang Zhicheng acted on his own.

A chill ran down my spine.

This kid will do anything to climb the ladder.

Liu Jianming believed he had figured out what the other party was thinking.

Wong Chi-beng was originally a senior inspector in the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit. If he had just stayed in the law and kept to himself, becoming a superintendent or senior superintendent would not have been a dream.

Once you are awarded the rank of police superintendent, you become a police officer at the level of a member of the Constitutional Court; further advancement may even lead to entry into the core command structure.

Of the five districts in the entire police force, only a handful of people can reach this level; they are either district commanders or key personnel from headquarters.

Huang Zhicheng originally had a bright future, but he was kicked out of the police force, and everything came to naught.

What's even more frustrating is that now they have to bow their heads and beg for a living from their former rivals.

Who could swallow this insult?

Liu Jianming felt he had seen through Huang Zhicheng's scheme at a glance.

The more I think about it, the more reasonable it seems!

"Is this guy tired of living?"

Once things were sorted out, Liu Jianming almost burst out laughing.

How absurd and laughable!

How did someone like that manage to get by until now?

That's a joke!

He was completely clear about three things: "It's not the police investigating me, otherwise Yang Jinrong wouldn't have reminded me privately."

"It wasn't Han Chen who was targeting me, otherwise Sister Mary wouldn't have sent that warning text message."

"It was Huang Zhicheng who investigated me behind his superiors' backs."

"Moreover, his target is probably not just me; he also wants to bring down Han Chen!"

"In that case, we could use this opportunity to make a difference."

Liu Jianming let out a long breath, as if the heavy pressure on his shoulders had instantly disappeared.

If it really is the police who intervene, he will have no choice but to flee immediately.

Before joining the police force, he looked down on the system; but once he was in, he realized how naive he had been.

Who the hell would go and get involved in the underworld?

If I had known, I should have just gone to police academy.

If they had chosen the right path back then, they might not be worse off than others now. Don't even mention He Chu; he's already a senior inspector.

Not to mention Yang Jinrong, who at least came from an inspector background;

Even Chan Wing-yan has become a police sergeant, also known as a sergeant, and can lead and command teams in other departments!

Then look at myself—pshaw, I'm just a high-ranking police officer!

Liu Jianming became increasingly angry, feeling a tightness in his chest.

Han Chen is right; one must walk one's own path.

He pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes suddenly sharpened.

"Having taken the wrong path before, I can't afford to make a single wrong move again!"

Yang Jinrong and Abang entered He Chu's office: "Brother Chu, Liu Jianming has made a move."

He Chu closed the folder in her hand and looked up at the two of them: "So fast?"

Ah Bang looked helpless: "Brother Chu, Ah Rong has been keeping an eye on Liu Jianming for almost a month."

From what we've observed, this man had already noticed that Huang Zhicheng was secretly watching him.

"I've looked through Liu Jianming's file. Although he wasn't particularly outstanding back in police academy, his grades were actually quite solid, only slightly worse than the two of you."

"A well-trained elite police officer should have taken action to retaliate long ago."

He Chu waved his hand: "Abang, you don't understand Liu Jianming."

"We were in the same year, and he's always been a low-key person who doesn't talk much."

"Of course, you know the reason behind it—he's an undercover agent planted by Han Chen."

"His quick wit and ability to endure loneliness are his true strengths."

Abang frowned: "Brother Chu, how can you be so sure he can tolerate it?"

He Chu said calmly, "The overall quality of our class of police cadets was indeed high."

Abang wholeheartedly agrees with this statement.

Putting aside everything else, He Chu himself is a role model, and now he is my boss.

Yang Jinrong, needless to say, is just as capable as himself.

And then there are Chen Yongren and Wang Zhicheng, none of them are easy to deal with.

Not to mention Luo Zhiming, who infiltrated directly into the position of the head of the gang, making him a legendary figure in the undercover world!

He Chu had told me that many of his group had been sent out to carry out undercover missions.

This generation is truly a gathering of elites.

Don't think that being an undercover agent is something anyone can do.

The applicant must have a clean record for three generations, and the family background must be investigated very strictly. In addition, the applicant cannot usually be an only child.

After all, if something goes wrong, someone has to clean up the mess, and it also makes it easier for the organization to control the situation.

Being an undercover agent is not easy, but once you get out unscathed, your promotion speed is far beyond that of ordinary people.

This is also a way for the police force to make amends to them.

Police forces typically select undercover agents through two methods: one is to choose from top students at police academies, and the other is to find suitable candidates from the general public.

Generally speaking, they are not very old.

When gangs recruit new members, they value fresh blood; older members are simply unwanted.

That's just how reality is.

As for background checks, well, how should I put it, it's quite complicated.

"Even among our graduating class, Liu Jianming was considered to be above average."

"But we are different from him."

For us, police academy training is for the job; for him, it's about survival.

"Different motivations lead to completely different levels of stress."

Abang and Yang Jinrong nodded silently.

He Chu said softly, "Under immense pressure, people usually only have two reactions: one is to be crushed and give up the struggle completely; the other is to use the pressure as fuel and force themselves to surge upwards."

"Liu Jianming belongs to the latter category."

"He is very smart."

"I chatted with him a few times when I was in police academy. He's like me, he knows how to hide his strength."

"In terms of ability, he is completely on par with me and Ah Rong, but every time we select the undercover agents, he always deliberately suppresses his performance."

"He can stay calm."

"My grades during my school years were only slightly better than others. If Liu Jianming put in a little effort, he could definitely surpass me."

"But he never takes the lead."

"Follow the rules and proceed steadily."

"I heard he's about to be promoted to sheriff?"

Abang gasped, "Liu Jianming is going to be a police chief?"

Don't underestimate this position.

Even someone like Cheung Tai-yung from "Detective Investigation Files" is just a police sergeant.

Abang never thought that He Chu, Yang Jinrong and their promotion paths were the trajectory of "normal people".

That's not normal at all.

Who can climb to that position in just a few years?

Nobody can do it!

Like himself, after so many years and with outstanding abilities, his shoulder insignia are still just like Yang Jinrong's, wearing the rank of supervisor.

The title of "Observer".

He Chu tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, his voice low: "In my opinion, Liu Jianming originally intended to endure it indefinitely."

Abang frowned: "Why do we have to put up with it? Huang Zhicheng isn't a serving police officer anymore, he's just a street thug."

"Now that Liu Jianming has discovered him, why doesn't he just turn the tables and overturn him?"

Why keep it bottled up?

Yang Jinrong's eyes suddenly lit up.
