If you want to be a good person, find Huadi

After the meeting, Li Wenbin walked quickly to the door and called out to Huadi, who was about to leave. Huadi was surprised to hear Li Wenbin's call, wondering what he wanted to talk to him about. Li Wenbin smiled and gestured for Huadi to follow him. Although Huadi was confused, he still followed him obediently.

The two walked down the hallway and arrived at the Commissioner's office. Huadi was a little surprised; he hadn't expected Li Shutang to let him come. After all, while he and Li Wenbin were good friends, he hadn't had much contact with his immediate superior, the Commissioner of Hong Kong Police, except at various meetings.

Li Wenbin knocked gently on the door, and after receiving permission, he pushed it open and walked in. Huadi followed closely behind him. After entering the room, he found that Li Shutang was not sitting behind the desk as usual, but sitting on the sofa. Li Shutang saw them come in and greeted them with a smile: "Sit down. Wenbin, tell Huadi the details of the situation."

Li Wenbin nodded and said to Huadi, "Huadi almost knows the details. But Huadi doesn't know that I sent people to secretly monitor Randolph. From the moment he received the first letter from the robbers, we know everything that happened to the Randolph family."

Huadi was secretly surprised when he heard this. He had never thought that Li Wenbin was so powerful that he could even grasp the affairs of the Randolph family so clearly.

Li Wenbin continued, "However, since the robbers' trading location is too far from Hong Kong, and coupled with the resistance of the Randolph family, we can't send anyone over to investigate, nor can we disclose this information to outsiders."

"You guys?" Huadi looked at Li Shutang with suspicion, as if he couldn't believe what he said.

Seeing this, Li Shutang quickly explained, "That's right, it was Wenbin and I, along with the surveillance officer, who knew about this. Furthermore, we absolutely never revealed it to anyone else."

Hua Di breathed a sigh of relief, but then pressed on, "Then why did you specifically call me over today? What do you need me to do?"

Li Wenbin smiled slightly and said bluntly, "Then I won't beat around the bush with you. You have such a close relationship with the Twelve Young Master, and your connections with those major families are also extraordinary. I think you should know clearly what we need you to do."

Hua Di frowned slightly, and after a moment's contemplation, he said, "Regarding the Twelve Young Master, ever since the robbery, I've had him dispatch his men to keep an eye out for any information related to the robbery. However, as for those major families, what specifically do you need them to do?"

Li Shutang looked at Huadi gravely and said in a serious tone, "After careful consideration, Wenbin and I believe that it is impossible for the robbers to disappear without a trace so quickly after stealing the jewelry. They must have a hiding place, and that place must be in Hong Kong. However, although Hong Kong is not large, there are many places for hiding. We have previously asked the police to conduct a comprehensive search of those suspected locations, but the results are disappointing. Basically, no trace of the robbers or the jewelry was found."

He paused briefly and continued, "Except for those major families, whose bases we didn't have the authority to search, we've already searched almost everywhere else, leaving almost nothing untouched. Therefore, we began to suspect that these robbers and the jewels had been hiding among those families from the very beginning. After all, those families are so powerful and have such complex backgrounds that it's difficult for ordinary people to easily enter their territory."

Li Shutang's brow furrowed slightly, seeming somewhat frustrated by this conclusion. He continued, "There's another important clue. If these robbers aren't locals, then their only possible entry into Hong Kong is through smuggling. Therefore, we need Twelve Young Master, the most active and well-connected leader in Hong Kong, to speak to the smuggling gangs and have them keep an eye out for any suspicious individuals or goods entering."

After a moment's contemplation, Hua Di slowly said, "Sir, in my opinion, these people and the jewels are probably no longer in Hong Kong." Li Wenbin nodded slightly, agreeing with Hua Di's point, but he pressed on, "Oh? Do you have any basis for your assertion?"

Seeing this, Hua Di explained slowly, "You see, only a few days after this incident, the pressure from the Jockey Club suddenly eased, and they're no longer pursuing us as relentlessly as before. I think the reason is probably because they've received word that the robbers are about to make a jewelry deal. This way, they can be sure the jewelry is no longer in Hong Kong, so there's no need to put pressure on us. And without the pressure from the Jockey Club, we've naturally relaxed our vigilance accordingly."

Hua Di paused briefly before continuing, "Now that we know what's going on with the Randolph family, I'm even more convinced that the robbers took advantage of our weakened search efforts to separate the people and jewelry into several batches and transport them away without anyone noticing."

Li Wenbin said, "Your judgment agrees with ours. The main purpose of having you here is to analyze where they're moving the jewelry. That way, we can focus our police forces where they're most likely to be."

"If they are gangs, they usually choose to go to Taiwan when they run away, because it is relatively chaotic there, making it easier for them to hide and escape. If they are smuggling, they are more inclined to choose the mainland. After all, the mainland market is vast, with more opportunities and profits." Huadi answered thoughtfully.

Then, changing the subject, he continued, "But if it's one of those big families, the situation is more complicated. They might own ocean-going cargo ships, so they could easily hide people and jewelry on one of them and leave smoothly. After all, a cargo ship has so much space, it's easy to hide something."

Upon hearing this, Li Shutang frowned, appearing extremely worried. He sighed heavily and said, "Yes, that fellow Randolph has really ruined our plans! His appearance has completely disrupted our plans. But now we have no other choice but to do everything we can to recover the jewels. The Governor has already given me a death order. If our police fail to successfully recover the jewels, he will deem the Chinese as incompetent as the Commissioner of Police. Before the handover, he will most likely re-employ the Eagles to hold this position. You should now understand the seriousness of this matter, right?"

Hua Di hadn't anticipated this development, but he didn't panic. After all, everything was still under control. According to his plan, the jewels were what he needed to recover. His real target was the Chinese national treasures stolen by the Randolph family. The jewels belonging to the Russian royal family were of little practical value to him.

These jewels could not be sold for money, nor were they of much value as a collection. Therefore, using them to earn some merit was a perfect bargain for Huadi.

Huadi then calmed himself down and continued, "Sir, please rest assured. I will do my utmost to track down the whereabouts of these jewels. Although I haven't found any particularly useful clues yet, I'm not completely unsuccessful. After some investigation, I've already gained some preliminary clues. I believe that if I'm given a little more time, at most a week, I will be able to find more valuable information."

After saying that, Huadi stood up and saluted his superior with a standard military salute to show his determination and confidence.

Li Shutang and Li Wenbin slowly stood up, smiling and nodding slightly to Huadi. The whole scene seemed solemn and dignified, as if time had frozen at this moment.

Li Shutang gazed at Huadi's retreating figure, pondering to himself. This young man had left a deep impression on him. Not only was his manners impeccable, but his ability to handle situations with ease made him a clear prospect. He couldn't help but admire Li Wenbin's judgment; after all, it was he who had first recommended Huadi to him.

After Huadi disappeared through the doorway, Li Shutang turned around and looked at Li Wenbin, a satisfied smile on his face. He said softly, "You mentioned this guy to me before, and it seems you were right."

Li Wenbin smiled modestly and responded, "I also think Huadi is a good kid, so I recommended him to you."

Li Shutang nodded and continued, "Well, this kid does have potential. I believe that after a period of training and development, he will become your capable assistant."

Li Wenbin quickly responded, "I will definitely take good care of him and help him grow up as quickly as possible."

Li Shutang waved his hand and continued, "After this jewelry robbery is over, I will retire. Before I leave, I hope you can perform this last act for me."

Li Wenbin looked at Li Shutang with a determined look and replied solemnly, "I will definitely do my best to live up to your expectations."
