If you want to be a good person, find Huadi

He Shangsheng took a deep breath and continued, "Actually, the situation is like this, sir. When I was an undercover agent at Huadi's place, he asked me to monitor Ma Chao of Yiqun. As a result, I unexpectedly discovered that the drug trafficking leader of Yiqun was actually Lin Si, and his son Lin Kun was the contact person between them and the Golden Triangle. As for the person in charge on the Xiangjiang side, it was that Ma Chao. Later, in order to avenge Xie Weihao, another hall master of Yiqun, Ma Chao planned to kill Lin Si first and then put the blame on Xie Weihao. Not only that, Ma Chao also kidnapped Lin Kun's family. In the end, I successfully apprehended all of these individuals. With Lin Si and Ma Chao imprisoned, the Yiqun suddenly lost its leader and fell into chaos. Xie Weihao has retired from the underworld and is currently studying for his university entrance exams. The Yiqun is now led by Xia Mao, but Xia Mao also plans to leave the underworld and join Huasheng Security Company. Therefore, I predict that the Yiqun will be disbanded within six months at the earliest. Regarding the Yiqun's drug trafficking, I have already written a detailed report. I believe Inspector Huang of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau has informed your anti-drug department.

"When did Organized Crime and Triads notify us?" Jiang Dawei frowned, his tone tinged with confusion. As the deputy chief of the drug crackdown, and responsible for liaison with other departments, the notification should have gone through him, but he certainly hadn't seen it.

He Shangsheng shrugged, a helpless expression on his face. "I'm not sure. This isn't my responsibility. I cracked the case six months ago, and the subsequent court proceedings, sentencing, and other processes took about four months. If we were to follow normal procedures, you should have been informed at least a month ago."

Hearing this, Jiang Dawei turned to look at Mike beside him and asked sharply, "Have you read this report?"

Jiang Dawei was puzzled. He had only been transferred back to the Narcotics Unit two weeks ago, and before that, he had been receiving training at Scotland Yard. Therefore, if such a report existed, it should have been signed by his former superior. Furthermore, since returning to Hong Kong, he had been busy familiarizing himself with the department's personnel and discussing training courses with faculty at the Police Academy. Most importantly, Mike had only briefed him on the ongoing investigation into Yi-kwan and stated that some progress had been made, but he had never mentioned the report.

Faced with Jiang Dawei's questioning, Mike seemed a little flustered and at a loss: "I don't know. Maybe they haven't given it to us yet." He tried to explain, but he was obviously lacking in confidence.

The whole scene became awkward, and everyone fell silent. Jiang Dawei couldn't help but feel suspicious. Why hadn't such an important report been delivered to him in a timely manner? Was there some problem or oversight?

"Go check it now!" Jiang Dawei angrily slammed the coffee cup in his hand on the table. Fortunately, the cup was of good quality and did not break, but a lot of coffee splashed out and covered the table.

Mike, who was standing by, quickly took out a tissue and wiped the coffee stains off the table. However, Jiang Dawei ruthlessly pushed him and ordered him to check the notice immediately.

He Shangsheng quickly stood up and went out to find the cleaning lady to clean the coffee on the table. After the cleaning lady cleared the table and left, Jiang Dawei turned to He Shangsheng and said, "Your informant is Huadi, right? Please arrange a meeting with him." Li Wenbin had already discussed Huadi with Jiang Dawei, and Jiang Dawei had also met Huadi at the previous awarding ceremony. Huadi had quickly gone from a small-time gangster to a guest of honor in the Guo family. Therefore, Jiang Dawei was full of curiosity about Huadi and hoped to get to know him better and have a conversation with him.

"Okay, I'll make an appointment with Huadi, but I can't guarantee I can get him. You know his current status," He Shangsheng reluctantly agreed. He knew Huadi wasn't just a small-time thug anymore. He wasn't someone anyone could meet, let alone someone who could be an informant. Jiang Dawei, however, seemed confident: "It's okay. I think he'll agree." He trusted his understanding of Huadi and was certain he would agree to meet him.

After a while, Mike came in with a report. Jiang Dawei took it and read it carefully. The content of the report was exactly as He Shangsheng said, which made Jiang Dawei feel dissatisfied.

"Who signed for it?" Jiang Dawei asked Mike with a gloomy expression after reading the report. Mike replied cautiously, "Sir Wang, he said Huang Qifa is a good-for-nothing and only got promoted by luck, so we barely read his report, and I didn't pay much attention to it either." As his voice faded, he could clearly feel Jiang Dawei's expression getting uglier.

"You all should go out and do your work," Jiang Dawei said weakly, his words filled with helplessness and exhaustion. He really didn't know what else to say about Mike. To describe him as "ambitious but lacking in talent" might be a compliment, but Jiang Dawei really didn't have anyone else available at the moment. Moreover, he happened to know a little secret: Mike had successfully attracted a senior police officer with his handsome looks. Even if he was dissatisfied, he could do nothing about it.

After leaving his office, He Shangsheng immediately contacted the CIB and requested they conduct surveillance at Hongtai's warehouse. He then assigned his own subordinates to work closely with the CIB. He also called Li Wenbin for assistance. Li Wenbin readily agreed, offering to temporarily lend He Shangsheng's former subordinates to him.

He Shangsheng knew that these former subordinates were trustworthy. After all, the colleagues currently in charge of the anti-drug operation were rather lazy and unable to handle important tasks. Therefore, he quickly issued an order for these former subordinates to focus on Uncle Mei and Prince.

After completing his duties, he called Wah Di and told him that his boss, Jiang Dawei, wanted to meet with him. Surprisingly, Wah Di readily agreed. However, Wah Di refused to meet at the police station, instead choosing the office of Guo Zhenting, the head of the Guo Group, as the meeting place, which puzzled He Shangsheng. He Shangsheng then relayed Wah Di's request to Jiang Dawei, who also agreed to go to the Guo Group.

He Shangsheng was apprehensive about his new team members. Considering they still had two hours until their meeting, he said hello to Jiang Dawei and promised to observe their work before reuniting with him at the Guo Group. The results were surprising. He had already had low expectations for these new members, but their performance far exceeded his expectations, pushing him to the limit.

No wonder Hong Kong's drug problem has persisted despite repeated crackdowns over the past two years! It turns out they rely on these sorts of drug enforcement officers to carry out their duties. They don't even look like they're cracking down on drugs; it's more like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse. He Shangsheng observed his men's performance, finding it worse than even street thugs. Some, while under surveillance, went out to buy lottery tickets. Another was so engrossed in chatting with his girlfriend in a phone booth that they didn't even notice the suspect had entered the drug warehouse. The last, Xiao Li, was even more outrageous, falling asleep in his car. By comparison, only the newcomer, Xiang Rong, performed relatively well. Perhaps because he was new, he hadn't yet been assimilated by the veterans. He Shangsheng sighed inwardly, "How dare someone like that mock Huang Qifa?" Despite Huang Qifa's cowardly nature, his tendency to shirk responsibility, and even deceitful attitude towards his superiors, he was at least a dedicated officer. After all, Huang Qifa knew that if a police officer didn't take their case seriously, their lives could be at stake.

He Shangsheng, filled with anger, arrived at the Guo Group and reunited with Jiang Dawei. Upon meeting Jiang Dawei, He Shangsheng frowned and asked in a serious tone, "Sir Jiang, have you ever seen your subordinates carrying out their tasks?"

Jiang Dawei's heart tightened, realizing the problem might be more serious than he had imagined. However, he remained calm and replied, "What's wrong? I've only been here for less than two weeks. During this time, I've mainly been familiarizing myself with the personnel and discussing the courses I received in Scotland Yard with the teachers at the Police Academy. I haven't had the chance to go on a mission with them yet. Is the situation really that bad?"

Jiang Dawei had already guessed how unreliable his subordinates were from Mike's performance as the team leader. But he still wanted to hear He Shangsheng's specific opinion.

He Shangsheng took a deep breath, suppressed his inner dissatisfaction, and tried to speak in a calm tone, "Jiang Sir, I think our anti-drug team needs a comprehensive personnel reform. If we don't, I'm afraid you will only be able to catch a few drug addicts and small-time dealers in the future, but will not be able to truly crack down on the core of drug crime."

Jiang Dawei pondered for a moment and nodded, agreeing with He Shangsheng's point of view. He knew that decisive measures must be taken to thoroughly reform the anti-drug team in order to improve work efficiency and combat drug crimes. He did not show it, but said, "Let's go and meet Huadi first."
