Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 1218 Jian Aowei Agrees to Take Action

He Wenzhan quickly brought up all the evidence and placed it one by one on the conference table in front of Jian Aowei.

Ou Yongen picked up a copy out of curiosity and started reading while listening.

After Chen Yongren finished speaking, she had seen enough.

Her face looked terrible, and she was furious. She hadn't expected that the Z Foundation was actually used for money laundering and reaping the wealth of Hong Kong citizens.

The chairman of this foundation was none other than the former Commissioner of Police, and the mastermind behind it was even more outrageous: the Chief Secretary for Administration, Philippe.

With officials like these, it's no wonder there are so many corruption cases in Hong Kong.

Jian Aowei's expression remained unchanged, but he sat in his chair looking somewhat heavy. After Chen Yongren finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, even though he had no expectations of those high-ranking officials in Hong Kong.

However, the sight of such a thing still made him feel extremely disgusted and repulsed.

"Attorney Jane, you've seen this evidence. I wonder if it's sufficient to convict Philip?"

Upon hearing Watson's question, Jane Austen turned her head slightly and said in a deep voice, "That's enough. If Philip doesn't step down this time, I will spend the rest of my life playing with him."

Watson glanced at Jian Aowei with some surprise. Seeing the serious expression on Jian's face, he realized that Jian was not joking. He immediately reassured Jian, "Everyone has already seen what foreigners are like. In two years, after we return, the situation will be much better."

Looking at the evidence in his hand, Jian Aowei said, "As long as these witnesses don't change their stories during the trial, Philip is definitely finished this time. So many people, including some behind-the-scenes members of the Z Foundation, are enough to bring Philip down."

"The identities of these behind-the-scenes members are not simple, and their words carry a lot of weight."

“However, the evidence is a bit scattered right now. We’ll spend two hours sorting it out according to its importance and classification so that it will be easier to view when we submit it. Yong En, come help me, let’s do it together.”

“Yes, Master!” Ou Yongen nodded heavily.

Watson immediately asked, "Do you need our assistance?"

Jian Aowei shook his head: "No need, my apprentice and I are enough. We work together very well. Adding more people would only cause chaos."

“Alright, then I’ll leave it to you, Attorney Jian.” Hua Sheng turned around and said, “Ah Ren, you and Wen Zhan stay here and keep an eye on things. Get them some late-night snacks later.”

“Okay!” Chen Yongren nodded. He understood that this evidence was very important and could not be lost.

......

The next day.

The case concerning the Z Foundation was heard at the Hong Kong Island Supreme Court, formerly the Supreme Court established in 1844, located at 38 Queensway.

To ensure the smooth running of today's trial, Watson had the Flying Tigers' helicopter arrive at the police station building first, and then follow the convoy to the Supreme Court.

In addition to the Flying Tigers, all departments, including the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB), Narcotics Bureau, Uniformed Unit, and Police Tactical Unit (PTU), have set up checkpoints along the route from the Police Force to the Supreme Court, just in case.

Traffic police are stationed at each intersection to direct traffic and ensure that the police convoy can reach its destination smoothly.

Hua Sheng and Huang Bingyao were sitting in the convoy at that time.

Seeing Huang Bingyao's slightly nervous appearance, Hua Sheng couldn't help but laugh and say, "Really, Lao Huang, you can get nervous too?"

Wong Bing-yiu said irritably, "Nonsense, this is the trial of the Chief Secretary for Administration, the number two figure in Hong Kong."

Watson smiled and said, "Don't worry, this time he will definitely be convicted, and he will be stripped of his job and sent to Stanley for further studies."

For this trial, he used all his resources. In addition to the police, even the people from New Hung Tai were stationed along the route to guard against the foreigners' desperate actions.

Wang Jianjun, Tian Yangsheng, and others had been staking out the area near the Supreme Court to prevent any unexpected situations.

Watson had made up his mind that no matter what the outcome of today's trial was, Philip would be brought down. If everything went smoothly, he would kill him in prison; if not, he would have Tian Yangsheng and his men take action outside the Supreme Court.

If Philip emerges safely, the decapitation operation will proceed immediately.

This was a last resort. If Philip were acquitted, Watson would be the one to suffer. Not only Philip, but even the governor would have to step in and reorganize the police force.

By then, not only would his position as deputy director of operations be in jeopardy, but his own safety would also be at risk. So, it's better to strike first than to be caught off guard.

Although it's hard to imagine how Philip will turn things around, it's still very necessary to make all the necessary preparations.

They even made arrangements for their escape route. After Tian Yangsheng and his group made their move, Xin Hongtai's ships would immediately take them away from Hong Kong Island, and they wouldn't be able to return to Hong Kong Island for at least a few years.

Of course, the decapitation operation is only a precautionary measure, a worst-case scenario. Unless something unexpected happens, the decapitation operation will not be carried out.

All we need to do is wait for Philip to be convicted, then arrange for someone to take action inside Stanley Prison, and we can easily kill him.

Especially in places like prisons, some people are so repressed that they really enjoy hanging out with new inmates.

Putting everything else aside, although Philip is old, he has lived a life of luxury for so many years, and his skin, temperament, and so on are all outstanding. He can be considered a handsome old man.

It's estimated that by then, there won't even be a need for a physical confrontation; Philip himself will be unable to bear the humiliation and will commit suicide.

......

Along the way, there were no unexpected incidents, and we arrived at the Supreme Court building without any obstacles.

When I arrived, Financial Secretary Fan Weili had just arrived as well. He stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "So, are you confident today?"

Watson laughed and said, "Don't worry, we're sure to win today. I've even brought out Attorney Jane. According to his assessment, the evidence we have so far is enough to secure a death sentence for Philip."

Fan Weili breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "Okay, if we succeed, I'll host a banquet tonight to celebrate your success!"

It's important to understand that the biggest beneficiary of Philippe's downfall was the Finance Secretary himself.

He, who was originally the second in line to succeed the governor, will directly become the first in line, and his own strength is far superior to that of the Secretary for Justice, Lai Wing-lim, making him the appointed successor to the next governor.

So no matter what, he still owes Huang Bingyao and Hua Sheng this favor, and now he also needs to repay Jian Aowei for it.

As the most famous senior barrister on Hong Kong Island, getting him to handle a case requires more than just money.
