Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 1179 Chen Yongren's Visit

Chen Yongren glanced at Li Wenbin. At first, he thought the other party was mocking him, but after seeing the sincere smile on the other party's face, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes. It seemed that he was unaware of the situation!

Didn't Kwong Chi-lap tell the other party?

He hesitated for less than a second before speaking, "Li Sir, I'm here to see Kwong Sir." Then, he turned to look at Kwong Chi-lap and said coldly, "Kwong Sir, didn't you want to explain? Here I am."

Li Wenbin's expression changed, and he looked abruptly at Kuang Zhili. What was going on? Why hadn't the other party told him?

Kwong Chi-lap frowned slightly, and before he could speak, Chan Wing-yan continued, "Your subordinate, Tsui Kam, accepted bribes and passed on intelligence to criminal suspects... This is the surveillance video from that time, Tsui Kam's confession, and information on the amount of money received in the account."

Huang Wenzhan stepped forward and placed the evidence one by one on the desk. With each piece of evidence he placed, Kuang Zhili and Li Wenbin's expressions grew increasingly grim. This was tantamount to a slap in the face, each piece of evidence a hard blow to their egos.

"Mr. Kwong, are you satisfied with this explanation?"

Although Chen Yongren had lost an arm, which was wrapped in gauze and hung in front of his chest, his aura still overwhelmed Li Wenbin and Kuang Zhili.

Li Wenbin also turned to look at Kuang Zhili, his brows furrowing. When he saw the other man's unpleasant expression, he coughed and said, "Inspector Chen, I don't know what happened. Could you tell me?"

Chen Yongren said with a forced smile, "Li Sir, there are quite a few things going on over there. Let Kuang Sir tell you. Don't worry, it's nothing serious. However, Kuang Sir is right, I can manage my own subordinates, so there's no need for Kuang Sir to get involved."

“Although Inspector Wong’s rank and position are not very high, he is a veteran who has followed Inspector Wah. Even if he is no good, it is not your turn, Inspector Kwong, to take care of him. Alright, I have something to do, so I’ll be leaving now.”

After saying that, he turned and left. Huang Wenzhan followed him, feeling as happy as if he had eaten ice cream in June or July. "Serves you right for trying to act tough in front of me. You'll get struck by lightning now, hahaha!"

As Kuang Zhili watched the other person's departing figure, he clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, and the veins on his arms bulged. The anger in his heart was about to erupt, but he suppressed it all.

Because he dared not confront Chen Yongren head-on. Now, everyone in the police force knew that Hua Sheng had two trusted and beloved lieutenants: the meticulous Chen Yongren and the general-like He Wenzhan, who were the two sharpest knives in Hua Sheng's hands.

Kuang Zhili can remain calm when dealing with Huang Wenzhan, but if he confronts Chen Yongren head-on, it will definitely reach Hua Sheng's ears.

Kwong Chi-lap knew Hua Sheng's temper very well. He figured that if he upset Hua Sheng today, he would be transferred to a remote area for guard duty tomorrow on some unfounded charge of stepping into the police station with his left foot first.

In this situation, even Li Wenbin couldn't save him, since the police force is now basically controlled by Hua Sheng.

Even Zeng Xiangrong, who was also a deputy director, didn't dare to provoke Hua Sheng. He kept a very low profile every day, like a transparent person. He didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest in response to Hua Sheng's various requests, and he didn't show any competitive thoughts at all.

This surprised many in the police force, but after they came to their senses, they admired the other party's political wisdom—they were avoiding direct confrontation!

After all, Wah Sang's reputation is now so great that everyone in the police force knows his name, which resounds throughout Hong Kong Island. He can be said to be the most prestigious among all the former Deputy Commissioners of Operations.

If Zeng Xiangrong were to compete with him at this time, he would surely be humiliated. Therefore, he chose to keep a low profile and avoid confrontation.

Hua Sheng was aware of this situation. After seeing that the other party was willing to back down, he did not push them too far. After all, they were both deputy commissioners, and it was not so easy to be ruthless. Besides, they were both working in the police force. If he went too far, it would easily make some people suspicious and cause a bad influence.

Therefore, after taking office, Hua Sheng saw that Zeng Xiangrong was very cooperative, so he did not cause any more trouble for him.

With Zeng Xiangrong's surrender without a fight, Hua Sheng's prestige in the police force has soared, and even Kuang Zhili dares not provoke him.

Having a conflict with Chan Wing-yan is like touching a tiger's whiskers, so Kwong Chi-lap didn't even retaliate against Chan Wing-yan's sarcastic remarks and just endured it.

After Chen Yongren and Huang Wenzhan left, Li Wenbin spoke up: "Tell me, what happened?"

There's no way to hide this kind of thing. A simple investigation will reveal it, or even no investigation is needed. It will be known throughout the entire police force by tomorrow.

So, after a pause, Kwong Chi-lap recounted everything in a low voice, concluding with a self-justification: "I didn't know that Ah-Kim was arrested for committing a crime. I thought..."

He didn't say anything more, and his voice grew softer and softer as he looked at Li Wenbin's angry eyes.

"You think? You think!... Heh!" Li Wenbin chuckled helplessly, then his voice suddenly rose: "Are you an idiot? Would they kidnap Ah Jin for no reason?"

"After Ah Jin was arrested, you didn't know anything, yet you rushed up to a senior inspector and humiliated him in every way, even forcing him to release him. What, if he didn't release him, were you going to arrest him instead?"

"Bang!" Li Wenbin slammed his hand on the table. "You've completely lost your mind."

After speaking, Li Wenbin got up and left with a gloomy expression, emanating a terrifyingly low pressure that caused the officers from the Major Crimes Unit who were hiding to shrink back and hide.

Meanwhile, Kwong Chi-lap, who had been reprimanded, was sitting in his office with a livid face, bloodshot eyes, and bulging veins. He suddenly raised his hand and slammed it heavily on the desk.

"boom!"

That wasn't all; he then kicked the desk hard.

"Thump! Crash!"

He was already furious when Chen Yongren came to his door to mock him, but he didn't expect to be scolded by Li Wenbin afterward, as if he were scolding a dog.

How could the proud and arrogant Kwong Chi-lap accept this!

Meanwhile, various rumors about the incident began to circulate within the police force.

Some people say that Kwong Chi-lap had a conflict with people from other departments and was even beaten up. Others say that he brought it on himself, that he was arrogant and domineering in his own department, but when he encountered people from other departments, he became timid and cowardly. He is a typical bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong.
