Comments and news in these newspapers all praised Mai Lihao, Bailiqu and others. Those former members of the Legislative Council, as well as the bosses of the Anti-Corruption Bureau and others, in their writings, turned into the ghost Bao Qingtian.
.
However, these compliments made ordinary people who went to tea houses to drink morning tea quite disdainful. There were some grumpy people who were so angry that they tore up the newspaper and threw it away: "Pu, your mother! Gui Lao Bao Qingtian? When will the medical staff be punished?"
The tea money that Huo Zhugui asked for and the throat opening fee that Huo Zhugui asked for have been cancelled. Let’s talk about the future! A bunch of idiots!”
"Gui guys are all protected by officials! This time, they can just do the same thing as last time and catch a few minions to work with them!"
"Every time we fight against corruption, we become even more corrupt! We ordinary people have no way out!"
These angry ordinary people dare not directly accuse the government, let alone those arrogant politicians, but they can still scold the newspapers for their nonsense in the teahouse.
Ordinary people in Hong Kong can only read Chinese newspapers, but the content of several English newspapers published locally in Hong Kong is different, among which the Hong Kong English "Tiger" is the main one:
"The ICAC has been established, and anti-corruption in Hong Kong is about to begin! Governor Dai Lingzhi has authorized Sir John Maliho to take full charge of the work of the ICAC, and requires all departments in Hong Kong, especially the British Army in Hong Kong, to actively cooperate! If there is any shirk, severe punishment will not be spared!"
The English-language "Tiger" newspaper was full of pictures and texts. It first confirmed the contribution of the future Governor of Hong Kong, Mark Mak, and then emphasized the independence and power of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. All departments must cooperate with its work, otherwise it will be dereliction of duty.
Be held legally responsible!
What does this mean?
It shows that the Independent Commission Against Corruption is not afraid of the Hong Kong police force, which is the most corrupt! Behind the Independent Commission Against Corruption, various departments support them, and even the military stands behind them.
…
Hong Kong noble villa.
Bailiqu stood in front of the window in the study, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, facing the moonlight outside, shaking the red wine in his hand.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption has been established and is now recruiting troops. According to what Mai Lihao said, he and Shi Zhijian are both the heads of the ICAC and have the power to place half of the people in it.
Bailiqu chose ghost guy Thomson. Thomson was from Scotland Yard and was an old subordinate of Bailiqu. Bailiqu intended to use this opportunity to help him rise to the top and directly appointed him as the chief anti-corruption officer of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
Shi Zhijian took a different approach and even placed headshot detective Ding Yongqiang into the Independent Commission Against Corruption, making him the leader of the anti-corruption investigation team, slightly higher than Inspector Hua.
On the surface, Thomson is Ding Yongqiang's boss and can order Ding Yongqiang to do things, but Bailiqu knows that Shi Zhijian has made a clever move this time!
There is a Chinese saying that "the county magistrate is not as good as the current governor!"
Bailiqu didn't know the meaning of this sentence until Ding Yongqiang took office.
In terms of playing power, the young Shi Zhijian taught Bailiqu another trick called "drawing salary from the bottom of the cauldron"!
It is obvious that Shi Zhijian has arranged for Ding Yongqiang to be his spy, who can directly influence the arrest and investigation of anti-corruption. On the contrary, Thomson sits high and cannot visit the front line in person, which will delay many combat opportunities.
Bailiqu took a sip of wine and continued to think. Shi Zhijian did this just to protect his good friends and brothers, like Lai Hao, Lei Luo, Lan Gang and others!
These are all the same thing!
Especially the big tiger Lei Luo is the king of corruption. If you want to kill the tiger, you must set up a trap and wait for him to fall into it before you can take action!
Jingle bell bell!
A series of urgent phone calls interrupted Bailiqu's train of thought.
Bailiqu did not bother the butler, who had turned gray like himself. He walked to the living room and answered the phone: "Hello, I'm Sir Bailiqu."
"Lei Luo has gathered people to start taking action. In addition to suspending the collection of fees, he is also working hard to collect ledgers!" Chen Zhichao's voice was on the other side of the phone.
Bailiqu held the receiver in one hand and took a sip of red wine from the wine glass with the other hand: "What if we can find those account books first?"
"The people who manage the account books are people who are loyal to the society. They even risk their lives for the sake of loyalty. It's very difficult to handle!"
"Loyalty? I really don't understand what you Chinese people call loyalty!" Bailiqu said in a disdainful tone, "But I know that there are three things in this world that no one can refuse, money, women, and
that power!"
"Sir, what do you mean -"
"I don't care what method you use, you have to get those account books!"
Chen Zhichao was silent for a full two or three seconds, and then he said firmly: "Copy that! I won't let you down!"
The moment he put down the phone, Yan Xiong who was following him asked, "What did Sir say?"
Chen Zhichao did not answer Yan Xiong, but took out a cigarette from his arms, put it in his mouth, and then asked Yan Xiong: "Is there a fire?"
"Yes!" Yan Xiong quickly took out a lighter and helped him light the cigarette.
As the cigarette butt burned out, Chen Zhichao's eyes became vicious: "Master Xiong, we have to work!"
Yan Xiong felt something, and his heart thumped, "Do you really want to completely break up with Lei Luo?"
Chen Zhichao blew out a puff of smoke: "I have no choice! This time, either he dies or I live!"
…
Mong Kok Pier.
The night is dark and windy.
"Hey, Yutoubiao! Where is the ledger?!" Fighting Cock said forcefully, then inserted the knife into Yutoubiao's belly with a pop, pushing the wide-eyed Yutoubiao against the wall.
As Yan Xiong's subordinate, Douji Qiang actually hates doing this kind of work.
He is a plainclothes man and not a thief. He will feel guilty every time he stabs someone with a knife.
But the situation forced Yan Xiong to say that no matter what method he used, he would get the account book Lei Luo wanted!
The fish head logo in front of me is the most trusted horse boy of Lei Luo's lardboy.
On the surface, the fish head logo is a white paper fan belonging to Lai Kwok-wah, the boss of Hutchison, one of Hong Kong's four major social groups. In fact, it is the No. 49 boy who was placed by the lard boy who was in charge of Hutchison's accounts.
For Yu Toubiao, the ledger is his life. If the ledger is lost, he cannot survive!
"Kill me, Brother Zai will help me take revenge!"
"Are you talking about Lard Boy?" Fighting Chicken sneered, "You know, now Lard Boy and his boss Lei Luo can't protect themselves! Hey, now you have two choices, either take another blow from me, or surrender.
Show me the account book and I'll take you to the hospital!"
"Haha, we are here to hang out out of loyalty! All we need is a ledger, but our life is all it takes!" Yutoubiao said through gritted teeth.
"Okay! I'll make it happen for you!" The fighting cock pulled out the knife and thrust it into the belly of the fish head mark again!
Yutoubiao's whole body slowly slipped and fell to a sitting position. He lowered his head and glanced at his abdomen. The severe pain from the wound made him gasp for air, and his body was even trembling slightly: "Hiss! That's enough! Only two stabs? One more stab?"
Is it possible to make up three swords?"
Douji Qiang was enraged. He had never seen such a Jianghu person who was not afraid of death. He finally understood why Yan Xiong had that "helpless" expression when he gave the order.
The people chosen by Lei Luo are indeed hard-core!
Just when Douji Qiang wanted to stab the fish head again, the people around him couldn't stand it anymore——
"Brother Qiang, forget it! If you keep doing this, he will die!"
"Yes, what we want is the account book, not specifically human life!"
"After all, we are also police, we still have to leave some leeway when doing things!"
Douji Qiang did not expect that the people around him would oppose him, and said angrily: "What are you talking about? Are you talking for this guy? Then do you know what Master Yan will do to us if we fail to complete the task?"
The three plainclothes men fell silent.
Fighting Chicken snorted coldly, held the knife to the fish head mark's face, and said ferociously: "I'll give you one last chance, and I'll save the account book?"
The fish-headed symbol smiled and spat a mouthful of blood on Dou Chongqiang's face: "You want to know? Then say hello to your mother for me!"
"act recklessly!"
Fighting Chicken clenched the knife tightly and was about to put the fish head under the barrel when the siren sounded, but saw two police cars roaring towards them, stopping not far in front of them.
Douji stood up forcefully and used his hands to block the dazzling light of the car lights.
The car door opened and Lardboy got out of the car, still smiling.
"Wow, it's so lively! Are you having a meeting in the middle of the night?" Lardboy held his briefcase under his arm and walked towards Douji Qiang and the others. As he walked, he put his hands together to light a fire and lit the cigarette he was holding.
Seven or eight plainclothes men followed him, outflanking Douji Qiang and others from the left and right sides.
"Brother Qiang, what should I do?"
The three plainclothes men following Dou Chongqiang panicked.
Fighting Chicken Qiang's eyelids twitched, "What are you afraid of? We are also bad guys!"
Lardboy smoked a cigarette and walked up to Dou Chong Qiang with his briefcase. He glanced at the fish head logo leaning against the corner and smiled: "Brother Qiang, right? I remember right, you are with Yan Xiong!"
"Since you know, why are you still talking so much?" Fighting Cock raised the sole of his foot and wiped the blood from the knife on the sole of his foot with a look of disdain.
Lardboy smiled: "It seems you don't take me seriously!"
"I'm a plainclothes guy, you're just helping people..."
Before Dou Chongqiang could finish his words, he slapped him in the face! Lard Boy breathed on his face.
Dou Chongqiang was stunned. He didn't expect Lard Boy to beat him.
Bang bang bang!
Lardboy slapped him three times again!
The fighting cock was so strong that stars popped out of its eyes and blood flowed from the corners of its mouth!
"Aren't you holding a knife? Come on, stab me!" Lardboy directly grabbed the fighting cock's strong ears.
Just as Fighting Cock was about to take action, seven guns were pointed at his head.
"Kneel down!" Lardboy ordered.
The three plainclothes men who followed the Douji forces out to do something immediately squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.
Dou Chongqiang wanted to be cruel, but Lardboy took the knife from his hand and without saying a word, directly inserted it into Dou Chong Qiang's leg!
The fighting cock was so painful that he fell to his knees directly!
Lardboy, who had always been smiling, looked like an evil god at this moment.
"You will suffer if you don't understand people!" Lardboy threw away the knife, took the handkerchief handed over by the person next to him and wiped his hands, then without even looking at Fighting Cock Qiang and the others, he walked towards the fish head mark with a cigarette in his mouth.
"How is it? Can you withstand it?" Lardboy squatted down, stretched out his hand to tear open the fish-headed clothes, and took a look at his abdominal wound.
"It's... not bad!"
"What a great guy! If I hadn't arrived in time, you would have died!" Lardboy said, but he very skillfully took out the cigarette he was holding and stuffed it into the mouth of the fish head, and then removed the cigarette from the clamped cigarette.
Take out the trauma medicine from the briefcase and sprinkle it on the wound!
The fish-headed sign grimaced in pain and almost bit off the cigarette he was holding!
"Take a sip! Do you think you are Brother Guan, how can you bear it so well?" Lardboy continued to apply medicine to the fish head mark.
The fish-headed figure took a long puff of cigarette and shouted: "It feels so good! It feels so good!"
"Damn it! Can you please lower your voice? If you don't know, you'd think I'm leaning over to help you!" Lardboy scolded.
The plainclothes men next to me looked at me and I couldn't help but laugh out loud. My brother is always so salty!
After applying the wound medicine, Lardboy had someone help Fish Head Biao up and asked: "Where is the account book? Brother Luo wants me to take it back!"
The fish-headed mark nodded and pointed to a small boat at the pier, "On that boat!"
Lardboy asked people to search for it, and soon found the dense ledger of the package.
After Lardboy confirmed it, he ordered: "Send the fish head to the hospital. It should be a good doctor and the best ward! Money is not a problem, just put it on my account!"
"Got it, brother!"
When Lardboy turned to leave——
"Brother Zai, what should we do if these four rush to the street?"
Lardboy looked at Fighting Chicken Qiang, who had been stabbed in the leg by him, and his three men, "What should we do? Help them cruise the river!"
"Understood, Brother!" The plainclothes men laughed, "Find a boat and throw these guys on board, and throw them as far away as you can! Then damage the boat and see how they come back!"
Lardboy smiled and praised: "Eye-catching!"
When Lardboy got into the car and left, Doujiqiang and others were packed onto the ship. On top of the container not far from the dock, Chen Zhichao was watching everything that had just happened with a telescope.
Yan Xiong looked anxiously beside him and said, "Aqiang was taken away by them, will everything be okay?"
Chen Zhichao put down the telescope and looked at Yan Xiong sideways: "Now do you still have time to worry about your men?"
"What do you mean?" Yan Xiong blinked, "At worst, we rush over and grab it! Isn't it more than enough for you and me to deal with a lard guy?"
Chen Zhichao smiled, took out a cigarette from his arms and bit it on his mouth, looking at the four fighting cocks who were stuffed on the boat: "Do you really think you can defeat Lei Luo after grabbing the account book?"
"Isn't the Independent Commission Against Corruption very powerful? With evidence, can't we do anything to him?"
"Lei Luo is a Chinese superintendent, the principal of the Wong Chuk Hang Police School, and the commander of the Flying Tigers! Can a mere ledger kill him?"
"This -" Yan Xiong was stunned for a moment, "Then what are we going to do?"
"Let me ask you, what is the biggest in the world?"
"What's the biggest?" Yan Xiong looked at Chen Zhichao's appearance, especially when Chen Zhichao's eyes were on Doujiqiang's ship, and his heart suddenly trembled.
Chen Zhichao felt Yan Xiong's fear and said slowly: "Of course it's a human life! What's more, it's still four lives!"
"No... no!" Yan Xiong said hurriedly, "Aqiang has been with me for many years, I can't do this!"
Chen Zhichao smiled, followed Lard Boy's example, took out the cigarette and gently stuffed it into Yan Xiong's mouth, "Eat the cigarette first! Take a slow puff and you will feel less pain in your heart!"
Yan Xiong smoked hard!
The smoke filled the air, reflecting his ferocious face!
"You are a smart man, I know what you will choose!" After saying this, Chen Zhichao made an aiming and shooting gesture towards the ship where Dou Chongqiang was riding -
