Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Lai Wing-lim showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he shouted, "What, trying to scare me? You don't think you can convict me by scaring me, do you?"

"I'll say it again: if you have evidence, you're welcome to sue me anytime. If you don't have evidence, I will make you pay for your actions and let you understand the consequences of offending me."

As he spoke, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

Just then, Hua Sheng pushed open the door and went in. He had no intention of being polite to the other party and directly held up Zeng Xiangrong's statement in front of Li Yonglian.

"Director Li, this is the statement of Zeng Xiangrong, the Deputy Director of Police Management. He made accusations against you. You wanted evidence, right? Here it is!"

Lai Wing-lim looked at the statement, his pupils contracting, then he calmly shouted, "Watson, you don't think a single statement can convict me, do you?"

Watson grinned: "Don't worry, there's more than one statement. All the people in your little group will be arrested tonight. Once someone speaks up, the others will definitely be unable to hold back."

"Once their confessions are all gathered, you won't be able to deny it."

"Oh, and let me tell you something else. Don't underestimate Zeng Xiangrong. Although he's Cai Yuanqi's substitute, after what happened with Cai Yuanqi, do you think he won't hold back a few tricks up his sleeve? Hehe!"

A sudden unease arose in Li Yonglian's heart: "What does this mean?"

Watson took out a hard drive, held it up, and said, "It's nothing special, except that Zeng Xiangrong recorded everything you said at the gathering. Oh, and there are also some photos and videos that he had someone deliberately film to keep as evidence."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, you're lying to me!" At this moment, Lai Wing-lim was truly panicked, because he understood that if what the other party said was true, then his position as Secretary for Justice was truly over.

No, back then it wasn't just about finishing the job; I was being sent to Stanley for further studies.

Watson smiled and said, "Whether I'm lying or not, you'll find out when we go to court."

After saying that, he turned and left the interrogation room without hesitation.

Lai Wing-lim shouted, "Stop! Don't go..."

But Watson left without hesitation.

After leaving the interrogation room, Watson's smile faded, and he said in a low voice, "An old fox like Zeng Xiangrong can't possibly be without cards to play. After the rest of his team has finished interrogating him, go and interrogate him again, try to trick him, and find a way to take over the territory he's in."

Chen Yongren nodded: "Okay, I understand. I'll also send people to search his residence, office, and other places to see if we can find him."

"Yes, we need to act quickly. Things will get very complicated after dawn, and I don't know what the situation will be like then," Watson said solemnly. He wasn't entirely confident about the situation after dawn.

To be honest, what he did tonight was very risky. He used to like to plan things out before acting, but this time, it was really risky.

However, he had no choice but to do it, because his act of leading people to break into the villa area to conduct a search, which seemed insignificant, had aroused the dissatisfaction of the upper class in Hong Kong Island, and would become an excuse for people like Lai Wing-lim and Tsang Heung-wing to attack him.

Once these people unite, mobilize the people in the three departments and thirteen bureaus, and finally incite the masses, then Watson's tenure as deputy director of operations will be over.

So after a brief consideration, he decided to strike first and take this opportunity to wipe them all out. Although it was risky, it gave him the advantage of being the first to act.

To be honest, he wasn't even sure if Zeng Xiangrong would speak up. If he didn't, the situation would become very bad, and it would be difficult to break through Li Yonglian's gang's defenses.

Fortunately, Zeng Xiangrong spoke up.

Ultimately, he and Cai Yuanqi were two different kinds of people.

Compared to Choi Yuen-kei, his relationship with Lai Wing-lim and others was not very deep. Moreover, he was good at self-preservation. When danger occurred, his first reaction was always to protect himself. He was the kind of person who would rather die than see his friends die.

In the end, Watson's gamble paid off!

Watson stood by the window, looking at the night outside, feeling slightly nervous, but he never showed it.

No matter what, as the core controller of the power, he cannot panic. Even if he is panicking inside, he cannot show it on the surface. Once he panics, his subordinates will only panic more.

"There are only a few hours left until dawn. People like to judge heroes solely by their results. I hope that this time, my result won't be too bad!"

After a while, there was a knock on the office door.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Wah Sir, the director is back."

"Okay, I see."

Watson turned around, opened the door and walked out. He arrived at Huang Bingyao's office, which was not closed, and went straight in.

"Old Huang, how's it going over there?"

Huang Bingyao said with a smile, "Of course there is no problem. You have no idea how ugly MacLehose looked, but he still couldn't do anything to me. The person has been arrested. No matter what he wants to do, he can't change the outcome."

“This is the arrest warrant he signed. With this order, our actions to arrest Lai Wing-lim and others are legal.”

Watson took the arrest warrant, examined it carefully, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

Huang Bingyao paused for a moment, then continued, "However, there is one more thing. Before dawn, MacLehose needs to see evidence of Lai Wing-lim and the others' crimes. Otherwise, we will have to release them and stop publishing the newspapers we are supposed to publish."

"He said this was the bottom line; if even this couldn't be achieved, he would report the matter to the British, and wouldn't rule out sending troops into Hong Kong..."

Watson smiled confidently: "Old Huang, don't worry, I've made a breakthrough. Zeng Xiangrong has already testified against Li Yonglian and others. I believe the other members of the small groups will speak up soon. At that time, Li Yonglian will definitely not be able to escape."

Huang Bingyao nodded: "Yes, go ahead and do it. I'll take care of everything else." Then, he said with some emotion, "There's not much I can do to help you. You'll have to rely on yourself for all of this."

Hua Sheng stepped forward and hugged Huang Bingyao tightly: "Thanks, Lao Huang. Don't worry, I will definitely make sure you retire with honor and will not ruin your reputation in your later years."

Huang Bingyao laughed and cursed, "You little brat, get lost. But it's also fortunate that you're here, allowing me to trample on the foreigners' faces during my last period in office. To be honest, I've only ever dreamed of doing this before."
