Chapter 433: A Good Show

Huang Yuanbin suddenly slapped the table and said, "Right, we are going to put on a good show!"

Everyone was stunned; the senior police officials had not expected that Huang Yuanbin would actually adopt a female Superintendent's plan.

But since there was a plan, they only needed to act according to the plan.

In any case, if something went wrong, it wouldn't be their responsibility to take the blame.

After the meeting adjourned, Huang Yuanbin followed Fang Jiexia directly into her office.

Fang Jiexia just gave him a faint look and said, "Are you agreeing with me or supporting me?"

"Don't you trust yourself?" Huang Yuanbin smiled, reaching out to grab Fang Jiexia: "Is your father doing any better?"

Fang Jiexia dodged him without mercy: "You know what kind of person I am! Yes is yes, no is no! Black and white, it's just that simple. We were all trained this way!"

Huang Yuanbin stepped forward to block Fang Jiexia and said, "Matters of the heart are not as simple as black and white!"

Fang Jiexia was suddenly speechless; it was clear that the two of them had a past.

But just at this moment, Superintendent Yang suddenly barged in, and upon seeing this scene, he was dumbfounded: "Fang Jiexia... sorry, sir! I'll remember to knock next time!"

Huang Yuanbin said very calmly, "I came in to ask how old Fang is doing; we're all old colleagues!"

Superintendent Yang could only nod repeatedly: "Quite right, quite right!"

While the police were preparing to plan a big show, Chen Jiajun soon received the news.

"The idea is not bad, but this show is not so easy to perform!" After seeing the information, Li Shutang shook his head and said, "I know this guy Huang Yuanbin, he's a sycophant! In terms of ability, he doesn't even rank, and the Gweilo know this too, which is why he is the Director of the Administrative Department, not the Operations Department."

Chen Jiajun said to Li Shutang, "What do you think is the success rate of this guy dealing with that gang of robbers?"

Li Shutang sneered: "If he had a clear head and handed this matter over to the Serious Crimes Unit, there would be at least a seventy percent chance! But he won't do that; he has always been unscrupulous to snatch credit! Based on my judgment, thirty percent at most!"

Chen Jiajun was a bit surprised: "Still thirty percent? But according to the news my men received, this batch of fierce robbers is not simple; they are all equipped with AKs, and they advance and retreat in an orderly fashion when exchanging fire with the police. They are clearly not ordinary robbers; they look like veterans who have retired from the battlefield."

"It is precisely because of this that I say there is a thirty percent chance!" Li Shutang said calmly: "If he can't handle it, he will send in the Flying Tigers. Otherwise, I estimate he wouldn't even have thirty percent!"

In every word Li Shutang spoke, he looked down on this guy Huang Yuanbin; it was clear that there was bad blood between the two.

However, Li Shutang did not bring it up, and Chen Jiajun did not say much more, just tapped the table and said, "I understand what you mean, which is to make him embarrassed, but not to make him lose face completely, right?"

Li Shutang nodded: "In any case, the Flying Tigers must not be allowed to intervene in this case!"

"What about the Serious Crimes Unit officer in charge of this case?" Chen Jiajun asked again.

"A young man named Zhang Zhiheng, he works very hard! But he has no background." Li Shutang shook his head and said, "This kind of stubborn mule, even if you tell him not to investigate, he will still take people to do it."

Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "This kid is a talent, and he's only at the Inspector level. Let Wen Bin see if he has the confidence to recruit him under his command!"

Li Shutang laughed: "That's what I was thinking too; then Wen Bin will have a legitimate reason to intervene in this matter."

"Then I'll go poach him!" Chen Jiajun stood up and said: "I'll notify you once there's a result; you must find a way to squeeze Wen Bin into the operations team!"

"Rest assured, I have a way!" Li Shutang nodded.

Because of the previous failure, the bandits had escaped from his hands.

Zhang Zhiheng was quite unhappy, spending his days patrolling the streets with his subordinates, and using every possible means to inquire about news of this gang of bandits.

He was so busy he couldn't even eat a meal.

Just as he wanted to eat something and take a break, a phone call came through.

This call was from Fang Jiexia of the Investigation Division.

The reason for this call was that Fang Jiexia wanted to forcibly snatch this case from the hands of the Serious Crimes Unit.

Zhang Zhiheng was of course very unhappy and directly withheld the intelligence.

"Hello? Yes! Ah? You don't have the informant's intelligence? That's impossible, right? My colleague already transmitted it a long time ago!" Zhang Zhiheng said evasively: "Then wait a moment, I'll check and reply to you!"

Fang Jiexia was no fool; she could tell that Zhang Zhiheng was being evasive.

After angrily hanging up the phone, she directly called for her subordinate: "A Wen, do not allow Zhang Zhiheng to intervene in this case. Send a notice to his superior; if he dares to mess around, he will definitely take the blame for this!"

"Yes, officer!" the subordinate said helplessly.

He was also very unhappy to be assigned under such a 'Master Extinction', but for the sake of his job, there was no other way.

As for Zhang Zhiheng, he treated the words of the Serious Crimes Unit Superintendent as nonsense. Let him stop following a case he had already investigated halfway? Don't even dream about it.

The police's CIB was not just sitting around either, and they soon found the location where the bandits were hiding.

But this news was not only received by Huang Yuanbin and the others; the Serious Crimes Unit had also received it.

After all, the CIB was not under the Administrative Department; it had already been very difficult for Huang Yuanbin to squeeze Superintendent Yang in.

After receiving this news, both sides took action.

But in terms of speed, Zhang Zhiheng was still a step ahead.

With the help of his connections, he quickly locked onto the location where the gang of bandits was hiding.

The ninth floor of an apartment building.

The Deputy Captain reminded him: "Boss, should we share the bottom line with the Investigation Division?"

Zhang Zhiheng was not a reckless man who wouldn't listen to anything. He nodded and then took out his phone to call Fang Jiexia: "Officer Fang, it's Zhang Zhiheng from the Serious Crimes Unit! Originally, our Serious Crimes Unit didn't intend to intervene in this matter, but we suddenly received intelligence suspecting that the robbers are still in the vicinity."

"Yes, it really is such a coincidence! Don't worry... we won't act without authorization, yes..."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Zhiheng immediately notified all members of his team, who put on their gear, ready to attack the floor at any time.

But just at this moment, a car sped over and blocked Zhang Zhiheng's path.

"Li Sir? Why are you here?" Zhang Zhiheng said with some surprise, facing the suddenly arrived Li Wenbin.

Li Wenbin had a high reputation in the Serious Crimes Unit; after all, he had a father who was a Director, and he was willing to work his way up from the bottom. The people in the Serious Crimes Unit were not blind. Plus, Li Wenbin truly treated his subordinates like brothers; as long as he could help, he would find a way to help. Therefore, in the Serious Crimes Unit, almost everyone knew him.

Li Wenbin said to Zhang Zhiheng with a serious face: "Inspector Zhang Zhiheng, from now on, you are under my command!"

Zhang Zhiheng was dumbfounded: "Li Sir! Are you here to stop me too?"

Li Wenbin said calmly: "I am here to stop you from throwing your life away!"

"But are we just going to watch that dead woman parachuted into the Investigation Division snatch this case away?" Zhang Zhiheng asked angrily.

Li Wenbin said sternly: "You can talk nonsense in front of me, but don't talk nonsense outside! Also, who told you I was going to give this case up?"

Hearing Li Wenbin's words, Zhang Zhiheng was even more confused: "But..."

Li Wenbin said indifferently: "This case is not that simple, and the people putting on a show don't have the ability either! I know you want to catch this gang of robbers, and I will give you that chance! But... before that, follow my orders! Do you trust me or not?"

If it were someone else, Zhang Zhiheng would definitely have spat in their face.

But seeing the resolute look in Li Wenbin's eyes, his attitude finally softened: "YES, SIR!"

After hearing Li Wenbin's words, everyone intended to unload their equipment.

But Li Wenbin said: "Why are you unloading your equipment? Stand by, ready to act at any time!"

Hearing Li Wenbin's words, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

……

On the other side, Fang Jiexia had long since had people from the CIB keeping an eye on Zhang Zhiheng.

Hearing that Zhang Zhiheng and his team had the intention to act, Fang Jiexia immediately notified Huang Yuanbin.

Huang Yuanbin had just come out of a meeting and said to his subordinates: "Regardless of whether the robbers are in that unit or not, we must act! At the very least, we must show our skills in front of the media!"

"This time, we are not just dealing with robbers, we are putting on a show for the six million citizens of Hong Kong! Fang Jiexia, this is your idea, don't let everyone down!"

"Yes, I understand!"

"Old Yang, you are his superior, you must give him your full support!"

"Yes, sir!"

Just as the few were talking, a Police Constable rushed over and said to Huang Yuanbin: "CIB report, confirmed the robbers are inside the building! But the Serious Crimes Unit has also intervened!"

Huang Yuanbin pointed at Yang and Fang Jiexia and said: "You handle them!"

Yang and Fang Jiexia did not dare to delay and immediately organized personnel to prepare for action. The Administration Department did not have many personnel they could mobilize, and there was no need to think about frontline Police Constables; they were already at odds with the people from the Administrative Department.

This was also the cleverness of those England Gweilo, using departments to divide the Chinese Police.

And it must be said, these Gweilo actually succeeded.

Frontline Police Constables worked themselves to the bone, only to be targeted by people from the Administrative Department, with the Complaints Division and Internal Investigation Division specifically looking for trouble with frontline Police Constables.

In the current situation, their Administrative Department couldn't even mobilize a single department from the Operations Department.

It was only under the instruction of the high-ranking Gweilo that a group of PTU was mobilized for the Administrative Department to use.

It's just that the combat capability of the PTU could only be described as pathetic.

After all, the daily tasks of the PTU were just patrolling the streets and supporting other departments.

After assembling the PTU officers, Yang and Fang Jiexia did not forget to conduct a pre-battle mobilization.

Yang began to speak: "This operation is to recover all the lost reputation of the Police Force! It is to tell everyone that the Hong Kong Police have the ability to bring robbers to justice!"

Subsequently, Fang Jiexia took out a camera and said to the group of PTU: "The action footage will be transmitted to all Hong Kong citizens in real-time, so that citizens can restore their confidence in the Police Force. We will install this kind of lens on every Commander."

"Mobile command vehicle, from the moment you enter the scene, your every move will appear on the display screen! Everyone be careful!"

Seeing that Fang Jiexia had finished speaking, Yang shouted loudly: "Are there any more questions?"

"NO, SIR!" the group of PTU shouted loudly, their momentum looking extraordinary.

Yang nodded: "Synchronize watches, we depart in five minutes!"

Subsequently, the PTU, fire department, medical services, and other resources that the Administrative Department could mobilize were all mobilized, and they rushed directly to the scene.

At the same time, many media outlets that received the news also drove their interview vans to the scene.

Suddenly, the area around the building was packed tight.

And the members of the Serious Crimes Unit, who were watching the show from the side, couldn't help but complain.

Especially Zhang Zhiheng, who was already unhappy, became even more speechless when he saw the actions of these people: "Do these people sitting in offices have something wrong with their brains? Making such a big fanfare and mobilizing so many vehicles, are they afraid the robbers don't know they've arrived?"

Li Wenbin, who was reading a magazine on the side, said without looking up: "How do you know they aren't doing it on purpose?"

"Ah?" Zhang Zhiheng widened his eyes and said: "Putting on a show?"

Li Wenbin chuckled and said: "That uniformed officer knelt down to surrender, and our Hong Kong Police were scolded into what state? Of course, they want to use this method to restore the image of the Police Force in the hearts of Hong Kong citizens!"

"But the idea is good. If it were me, although I wouldn't make such a big fanfare, I would still do it! However... strength is a very important thing!"

Speaking of this, a sharp light flashed in Li Wenbin's eyes.

Li Wenbin was a person of principle, but that did not mean he was a pedantic fool.

He had long known about things like office politics.

He knew that there were many obstacles to his advancement. So when his father spoke to him about this matter, Li Wenbin agreed without much consideration.

After all, whether it was Li Shutang or Chen Jiajun, both were exerting effort to help him, so he had no reason not to cooperate.

Hearing Li Wenbin say this, Zhang Zhiheng couldn't help but laugh: "How can the uniformed group compare to us frontline Police Constables?"

Li Wenbin looked at the busy crowd outside and said indifferently: "We will have a chance to act. What we need to do now is watch them build their high tower, watch them feast their guests, and finally... watch their building collapse!" (End of chapter)
