Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 1129: Taking Lu Hantao back to the Police Department to assist in the investigation

Ma Zhiquan was delighted when he heard Lu Yongyu's words, but he still said righteously, "What are you talking about, Niece Lu? I'm helping you because of the long-standing friendship between your father and me. It seems that we have a deep bond. By the way, what's the name of the person leading the charge?"

Lu Yongyu was almost sickened and said quickly, "The leader is called Liu Jianming. I understand what you mean, Uncle Ma, please help me, otherwise these policemen will really take my dad away by force. You also know that my dad is in poor health and needs to take medicine every day. He also has a heart disease."

Ma Zhiquan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know Zeng Xiangrong, the Deputy Director of Management of the Police Department. I'll give him a call and everything should be fine. The Police Department is facing a case now and needs your father's help. Just wait for my good news."

"Okay, thank you Uncle Ma. I'll host a banquet tonight at the same place as before. Please be sure to come and enjoy it!"

"Haha, I will definitely be there!"

After hanging up the phone, Ma Zhiquan opened his notebook with a relaxed look, found Zeng Xiangrong's phone number on it, and called him.

The call was connected quickly, and only a voice was heard from the other end.

"Hello, I'm Zeng Xiangrong!"

Ma Zhiquan immediately said, "Mr. Zeng, I'm Ma Zhiquan from the Secretary for Administration. It's been a while since we last spoke. How have you been lately?"

Zeng Xiangrong was slightly startled, then his mind quickly pondered. After a moment, a middle-aged man with a sanctimonious appearance emerged in his mind. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Oh, it's Secretary Ma. What do you want to talk to me about?"

Ma Zhiquan smiled and said, "Mr. Zeng, it's been a while since we last met. I miss you so much. I'm hosting a banquet tonight, and you must come and show up!"

Zeng Xiangrong was a little puzzled, as he was not very familiar with him. However, the other party was a well-known figure in the Secretary for Administration after all, so it was very necessary to make friends with him.

"Okay, I must give Secretary Ma face, haha!"

Ma Zhiquan said with satisfaction, "Okay, I'll text you the address later. By the way, Mr. Zeng, I have a friend who is about to be taken away by the police. The leader is called Liu Jianming. He should be a minor figure. I haven't even heard of his name."

"Liu Jianming!" Zeng Xiangrong frowned slightly. He knew that the other party was Li Wenbin's trusted subordinate.

Ma Zhiquan seemed to sense something as well and couldn't help but ask, "Why, is this Liu Jianming difficult to deal with?"

Zeng Xiangrong hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's not that difficult. He's Li Wenbin's trusted subordinate. Although Li Wenbin failed to ascend to the top, he's still Assistant Commissioner of Police. Plus, his father, Li Shutang, was the former Commissioner of Police. Many people in the force have to give him some face."

"Of course, I can talk to Li Wenbin and ask him what the case is. If it's not a serious case, I will ask him to release the person."

Ma Zhiquan nodded. "Well, I'll trouble you, Zeng SIr. I'll bring two bottles of good wine tonight. We won't leave until we're drunk!"

Zeng Xiangrong smiled and said, "Okay, I won't go home until I'm drunk!"

After hanging up the phone, the smile on Zeng Xiangrong's face disappeared and his brows furrowed. In fact, he felt a little bit forced into doing something he was notoriously difficult to deal with. Li Wenbin relied on the fact that his father was the former Commissioner of Police and never gave anyone face.

But he is now the deputy director of management of the police force. If he can't even deal with Li Wenbin, where will he save his face if the news gets out? In addition, Ma Zhiquan has a very wide network of contacts. If he gets out, he will be a waste in the eyes of the senior officials in Hong Kong Island.

This was very detrimental to Zeng Xiangrong's career, so he agreed reluctantly.

I just need to think carefully about how to communicate with Li Wenbin. It definitely can't be done casually as I said on the phone.

Even Liu Jianming was dispatched, which means the case is not small. If I remember correctly, Liu Jianming is now a senior superintendent!

"That's not right. I need to deal with Liu Jianming, not Li Wenbin. Why not just call Liu Jianming directly?"

Thinking of this, Zeng Xiangrong confidently found Liu Jianming's phone number from the police system and called him. Now he is the deputy director of management. Although Liu Jianming is Li Wenbin's man, he should give him some face!

Liu Jianming led his men into the villa and found Lu Hantao fishing next to an artificial lake.

After confirming his identity, he stepped forward and said, "Lu Hantao, I'm CID Senior Superintendent Liu Jianming. We have a case and need you to come back to the police department to assist in the investigation."

Lu Hantao sat in the chair without moving at all, as if he didn't hear anything.

Seeing this, Liu Jianming raised his eyebrows and winked at the police officer next to him. The other party immediately understood and came forward with two people, intending to carry Lu Hantao back.

But just as they approached, Lu Hantao said without even turning his head, "Young man, I, Lu Hantao, have been in the New Territories for so many years. You want to touch me now? Have you thought it through?" Then he sneered, "I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the New Territories!"

Liu Jianming smiled faintly: "Scare me? Add one more thing to him: intimidate the police officers!"

The police officer next to him immediately shouted, "Yes, Sir!"

Hearing this, the smile on Lu Hantao's face disappeared. He became extremely stern and said coldly, "Don't forget, this is the New Territory. You came here to arrest me. Do you have any evidence?"

Liu Jianming said calmly: "Mr. Lu has misunderstood. We are asking Mr. Lu to return to assist in the investigation, not to arrest you."

Lu Hantao smiled coldly: "Then I'm sorry I can't accompany you. I'm not in good health and it's not convenient for me to assist with the investigation."

Liu Jianming was about to say something when his cell phone suddenly rang. He had two cell phones and only brought his work phone when he was doing things. Only people within the police force knew his number.

So he didn't hesitate and immediately took out his cell phone to answer the call.

"Hello, Sir Liu, I'm Zeng Xiangrong!"

Liu Jianming smiled playfully: "Mr. Zeng, is there anything I can do for you? I'm currently on a mission and can't answer the phone."

Zeng Xiangrong immediately said, "The person you are arresting is my friend. I don't know what he has done wrong. I need you, Sir Liu, to personally take action. Do you have any solid evidence?"

Liu Jianming said slowly, "Mr. Zeng, this is a matter for our operations department, so we can't disclose it. Also, we're asking him to return to assist with the investigation, not to arrest him."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Zeng Xiangrong was stunned when he heard the busy tone on the phone, and then his expression became ugly.
