Hong Kong News: Police Talker

“Now you can speak!” Chen Yongren said in a deep voice, standing to the side.

Lawrence didn't speak immediately. Instead, he took a deep breath and slowly said, "I haven't been with the Z Foundation for very long. Back then..."

In this situation, he had no choice but to say that Philip had been arrested, and that it was impossible to arrest someone of that rank without the governor's permission.

Secondly, the profits he received from the Z Foundation were not excessive. Philip took the lion's share, leaving only scraps for them, which had to be shared with others, so each person didn't actually receive much money.

Having come this far, they didn't want to be dragged down with them, so Lawrence chose to speak up.

Not everyone spoke out like Lawrence, but with various pieces of evidence paving the way, some still chose to speak out.

Most importantly, Chen Yongren made it very clear to them that waiting for Philip to rescue them was no longer possible, because he himself had already been arrested.

This caused many people to break down, and coupled with the various pieces of evidence the police possessed, they chose to speak out.

Huang Bingyao had just finished dealing with the people from the Three Departments and Thirteen Bureaus when his phone rang again. He picked it up and answered, but before he could speak, he heard a voice say, "Huang Bingyao, this is MacLehose. You have had enough time. Can you convict Philip? If not, release him now."

“I have already heard that Philip’s butler has turned himself in to the police and taken full responsibility for all the crimes.”

"Remember, I'm not discussing this with you, this is an order!"

Huang Bingyao's expression changed, and he quickly said, "Governor, it hasn't even been 24 hours yet..."

“Shut up. I told you, this isn’t a discussion with you. The British headquarters has already inquired about this matter. Arresting a Chief Secretary for Administration without sufficient evidence has already caused a lot of dissatisfaction. Do you want to quit your job as Commissioner of Police?” MacLehose reprimanded impatiently.

Huang Bingyao gritted his teeth: "Governor, I am not clear about the case yet. Please let me find out. If the evidence is still insufficient, then I will release the person."

After saying that, he hung up the phone, intending to stall for time. Releasing the person was out of the question; he could only drag things out.

However, after putting down his phone, he quickly rushed out of the office and headed straight for Watson's office.

"Watson, Watson..."

He started shouting even before they arrived.

At this moment, Chen Yongren was reporting to Hua Sheng.

“Wah Sir, this arrest operation was very successful. These people didn’t actually receive that much money. Now that they’re in trouble, their first thought is to get out and save themselves. Some of them have already implicated Philip and revealed the percentage of money they received, etc.”

"The most surprising thing is that former Police Commissioner Lawrence actually has a recording of their meeting. Philip personally attended these meetings, which is enough to prove that Philip is the real behind-the-scenes boss of the Z Foundation."

“I have already sent Ma Jun and Peng Yixing to retrieve this recording. With their capabilities, there shouldn’t be any problems.”

Hua Sheng nodded: "Yes, but we still can't be careless. Have He Wenzhan take some men to meet us, just in case something goes wrong."

Just then, Huang Bingyao's shouts came from outside. Watson was startled, then got up to see what was going on.

Chen Yongren, quick to notice, opened the door, and Huang Bingyao immediately rushed in, slamming the door shut. He said anxiously, "The governor wants us to release Philip. How about it? Do you have enough evidence? If not, I'll stall for time. I'll just quit being the police commissioner, damn it..."

Listening to Huang Bingyao's cursing, Hua Sheng smiled and reassured him, "Don't worry, I have enough evidence to convict Philip. We've just made a breakthrough; some of the people Philip recruited have already spoken up."

"And there's also a recording. We've already sent someone to retrieve it. This time, Philip won't be able to escape no matter what."

Huang Bingyao breathed a sigh of relief: "That puts my mind at ease."

......

Under Li Yonglian's orders, Yang Tieli had been keeping an eye on Chen Yongren and He Wenzhan. When he saw He Wenzhan leave with his men, he immediately sent men to follow them.

He Wenzhan is a veteran police officer with over ten years of experience. He has extensive experience, including counter-surveillance skills. However, the people following him this time are the true elites of the Political Department, and their tracking techniques are beyond He Wenzhan's ability to detect.

They went directly to Lawrence's villa, where Ma Jun and Chen Yongren were searching for the recording pen.

When they arrived, a conflict broke out because the people inside wouldn't let them in. Although they eventually forced their way in, it still took some time.

When He Wenzhan arrived, they were searching, which allowed the political elites who were following behind to see it clearly, and they immediately reported the matter to Yang Tieli.

Upon receiving the news, Yang Tieli immediately reported the matter to Li Yonglian.

"Chief, I saw from the police evidence that this Lawrence is one of the people behind the Z Foundation. He was a former Assistant Commissioner of Police, but he has now retired. The police are currently at his home, seemingly looking for something. Should we get involved?"

Lai Wing-lim frowned, and after thinking for a moment, said, "The Governor has already called the police to release the man. At this time, it is absolutely very important that Ho Man-chin personally led people here to look for something."

"Forget it, don't worry about it. Now Philip's side has the upper hand. Let's see if what they find can bring Philip down."

Yang Tieli breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "Yes, Director."

After hanging up the phone, he immediately dialed to notify his subordinates, but no one answered for a long time, which made him frown deeply.

The call was answered the next second. Yang Tieli was about to speak, but remembering the strange thing that had just happened, he didn't speak first.

On the other side, Ma Jun, holding a blood-stained phone, also remained silent. After a moment of silence, he spoke first: "This group was quite strong. It must be painful for you to lose them like this, huh!"

Yang Tieli's cheek twitched, and he quickly hung up the phone.

Hearing the busy tone on his phone, Ma Jun smiled nonchalantly, then turned and ordered, "Go and find out who last dialed this number."

After handing over the phone, he raised his hand, smiled, and patted Peng Yixing's shoulder heavily, saying, "You're quite something, kid. You actually managed to find out that someone was following and monitoring us."
