Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

Because remote areas often produce unruly people, not only are accidents frequent in the New Territories, but people are also undisciplined. In order to increase the crime-solving rate, the police often use some shady means.

This is not an uncommon thing in the Hong Kong police force. Although there are the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the Internal Affairs Bureau, as long as there is not too much trouble, these two agencies will not intervene.

There has been a qualitative change between the ICAC in the 1970s and the ICAC in the 1980s.

In the 1970s, it investigated all police officers on Hong Kong Island; in the 1980s, it investigated police officers below the level of gazetteer.

As for the Internal Affairs Investigation Division, whether in the 1970s or 1980s, it only investigated yellow-skinned police officers. If a director was willing to personally greet them, it would simply remain silent.

"It's the principle of serving the right dish to the right person. I seem to have reminded you of this repeatedly when you joined the team. Team Leader Cai may have been too busy with work and neglected it. Could it be that you forgot it too? You didn't even remind me!"

As if she felt that these words were somewhat embarrassing, Zhu Ruirui kept her voice within the range of the two of them.

Hu Mishan's heart tightened when he heard this, and his face was full of grievance and helplessness. He hurriedly explained:

"Brother Cai insisted on doing what he wanted and refused to listen to any of my suggestions. If you hadn't shown up in time, I might have taken Liu Xu to the bathroom."

Zhu Ruirui's thoughts instantly went back to the moment when he pushed open the door of the interrogation room. She clearly remembered that Hu Mishan was holding the key to open the handcuffs in his hand.

At that time, she mistakenly believed that Hu Mishan had received clear instructions from the director.

Zhu Ruirui slowly resumed his previous pace, silently chewing over Hu Mishan's words in his heart, thinking about the possibilities.

It was not until the gate of the New Territories Police Station gradually came into view that she slowly spoke, with a hint of uncertainty in her tone: "Shouldn't it be?"

"Feng Xu's background information is clear at a glance. He has not undergone any rigorous training from special forces, nor is he an ace agent of some mysterious department. It is impossible for him to have such secretive and superb methods."

Zhu Ruirui continued, her tone revealing her trust in the abilities of her colleagues in Group B and the professionalism of the Trace Investigation Division, "If it was really Feng Xu who did it, they will definitely be able to find some clues from it."

Hu Mishan fell into a brief contemplation, and he felt that the captain's words made sense.

He let out a long breath, took out the cigarette box from his pocket as usual, shook it gently, but only heard silence.

Captain, I've run out of cigarettes. I'm going to buy a pack of cigarettes to relieve my boredom." Without waiting for Zhu Ruirui to respond, Hu Mishan trotted towards the convenience store on the side of the road.

Zhu Ruirui looked at Hu Mishan's back getting farther and farther away, shook his head gently, and a trace of imperceptible worry flashed in his eyes.

After Hu Mishan walked out of the convenience store, he was craving for cigarettes and was not in a hurry to catch up with his team members.

Instead, he lit a cigarette for himself and took a deep breath, as if he wanted to let all his troubles dissipate with the smoke. However, at this moment, there was a loud "bang!"

His eyes were fixed on the flying captain, and then, his eyes went dark and he felt a strong dizziness. He exclaimed in his heart: "Ether!" Then, he lost consciousness.

Five minutes later, Hu Mishan gradually woke up in the alley. He felt severe pain all over his body and couldn't help but let out a faint groan, which added a bit of irritability to the hot weather.

He instantly realized that he had been ambushed and severely punished. Although this result made him secretly glad that he had saved his life, he could not help but feel a little scared.

Thinking that he almost died, Hu Mishan's mind reappeared the scene he saw before he was knocked unconscious. He endured the pain in his body, rushed out of the alley, and ran towards the accident site.

When he arrived at the hospital panting, he saw other team members gathered outside the intensive care unit. When Hannah saw Hu Mishan coming, her tone was full of dissatisfaction and blame:

"Didn't you say you were going to buy cigarettes? Why are you here only now? Don't you know that the team leader has been in a traffic accident?"

After saying that, she seemed to suddenly remember something and winked at the other two people, who quietly gathered around her:

"Zheng Zhijie searched all the convenience stores near the police station but didn't see you. Tell me the truth, where did you go?"

When Hu Mishan heard this, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and showed them the scars on his arms: "I was ambushed! I was put in a sack and beaten severely."

He deliberately avoided talking about the ether because sack-sacking is a common tactic used by gangsters, while ether is a more professional and covert means of revenge.

If he was asked to investigate the matter of ether, and if he found any clues, he was worried that he would be in danger like his team leader.

Hannah, Li Dongsheng and Zheng Zhijie looked carefully at the scars on Hu Mishan's arm, looked at each other and nodded slightly.

"You still have some conscience. You came to visit the team leader as soon as possible." They tacitly agreed not to continue asking who caused the scars on Hu Mishan's body.

Time passed by minute by minute. Half an hour later, the door of the intensive care unit slowly opened and Chief Doctor Li Shanxu walked out. She looked at the four people waiting anxiously outside the door and took the initiative to explain the situation:

"Don't worry too much. The taxi wasn't going very fast. Zhu sir only had some internal bleeding and a moderate concussion. After our timely treatment, she is now fine."

"In the next period of time, she only needs to rest and receive intravenous drips for about half a month, and then she will be able to fully recover." Dr. Li Shanxu's words were like a shot of relief, which finally put everyone at ease.

However, what the other three did not see was that as Li Shanxu finished speaking, Hu Mishan, while heaving a sigh of relief, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

In the afternoon, the sunlight shines into the ward through the gaps in the curtains, adding a bit of warmth to the room.

Zhu Ruirui has woken up from her coma and is talking in a low voice with Hannah. Both of them have faint smiles on their faces, as if they are sharing the ease and relief in each other's hearts.

The other three team members sat around the bed, some bowed their heads in thought, some watched silently, maintaining a tacit silence.

However, this tranquility did not last long. The door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, interrupting the harmonious atmosphere inside.

Senior Superintendent Stephen, head of the New Territories Public Relations Branch, walked in with a beaming smile on his face, followed closely by a man who looked unexpectedly young, Liu Xu.

Stephen pointed at Zhu Ruirui lying on the hospital bed and said in a heavy tone, "Liu Xuxian, this is Chief Inspector Zhu who was injured by your company's driver who was driving due to fatigue."

When Liu Xu heard this, deep concern and self-blame instantly appeared on his face.

He walked forward quickly, tightly holding Zhu Ruirui's hand, his eyes full of sincerity and apology: "Sir Zhu, I'm really sorry."

"It is because of my negligence in management that you have suffered such harm. On behalf of the company, I would like to express my deepest apologies to you." As he said this, he bowed deeply and solemnly to show his sincerity.

Afterwards, Liu Xu carefully placed the bouquet of flowers held in Tian Yangsheng's hand at the head of the bed, as if to add a touch of vitality and hope to the ward.
