Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 692 Li Yonglian Begins to Take Action

In a private room of a luxurious hotel, Li Yonglian sat on the sofa with a gloomy face, the red wine glass in his hand glowing dark red under the light.

He said coldly: "Cai Yuanqi is now seriously injured and his life or death is uncertain. If Cai Yuanqi dies, we will lose our only pillar in the police force. Moreover, since the other party dares to touch Cai Yuanqi, it means they dare to touch us too."

"We have to find out who is behind this. I don't want to be attacked and killed when I go out one day."

Ou Haolin frowned, with a hint of worry in his tone: "The situation is not good now. Cai Yuanqi is our only support in the police force. Now he is unconscious, and his men will not listen to our orders. We don't have enough manpower to investigate the black hand behind it."

Li Yonglian shook the red wine glass in his hand, and through the wall of the crystal glass, one could see the ferocious expression on his face.

He said coldly: "Why do we need to identify the perpetrators? We only need to treat all of Cai Yuanqi's enemies as the masterminds behind this attack."

He paused and continued, "There are only two people in the police force who are in direct confrontation with Cai Yuanqi. One is Wong Bing-yao, the commissioner of the West Kowloon Police Station, and the other is Li Wenbin, the chief commander of the Police Department's Organized Crime and Triad Bureau. Only these two people are suspected of taking action, and others should not take the initiative to provoke Cai Yuanqi."

Ou Haolin looked solemn and whispered, "It's okay to touch Huang Bingyao. Although he is an old man, he doesn't have a huge force to support him, so it doesn't matter if he is touched. But Li Wenbin is different. We can't touch him. His father Li Shutang is now the top brother of the police force. We can't afford the consequences of touching him."

Li Yonglian sneered, drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, and said in a cold tone: "Li Shutang is indeed powerful, but I, Li Yonglian, am not someone you can mess with. We can't target Li Wenbin openly, but we can deal with him in other ways."

Qu Haolin looked at Li Yonglian thoughtfully: "You mean..."

Li Yonglian smiled coldly and slowly told his plan.

As he spoke, the atmosphere in the room became even colder.

The next day, the Department of Justice suddenly announced that it would return several cases submitted by the West Kowloon Police Station, citing insufficient evidence, opaque case handling procedures, and even suspicion of torture.

The news instantly set off the media.

Reporters swarmed in like sharks smelling blood, surrounding the door of the Department of Justice, waiting for Li Yonglian's response.

"Prosecutor Li, what is the reason for returning the case to the West Kowloon Police Station?" a reporter asked impatiently.

Lai Wing-lam smiled faintly, with a hint of seriousness in his tone: "Our Department of Justice decided to return the case submitted by the West Kowloon Police Station. The main reason is that the West Kowloon Police Station has a lax style, insufficient evidence chain, and even inconsistent confessions of some suspects. We suspect that the West Kowloon Police Station is suspected of using torture to extract confessions."

He paused and continued, "Regarding these issues, our Department of Justice has raised them to the West Kowloon Police Station many times, but the other side, under the leadership of Commissioner Wong Bing-yiu, has never taken them seriously."

"I hope this incident will serve as a wake-up call for Director Huang. We are all serving taxpayers and should not just muddle through and be lax in our work style. How can we be worthy of the people of Hong Kong Island if we do this?"

When these words came out, all the reporters present were stunned. Li Yonglian's words were so sharp, directly criticizing Huang Bingyao by name, which was undoubtedly a huge explosive point. The reporters immediately became excited, raised their microphones, and rushed to ask questions.

"Prosecutor Lai, do you have any measures to deal with the lax work style of the West Kowloon Police Station?"

“May I ask if the problems at West Kowloon Police Station are related to Commissioner Wong Ping-yiu? Should he be held accountable for this?”

"What do you think of Huang Bingyao?"

Lai Wing-lam coughed and said seriously, "We at the Department of Justice hope that by returning the case this time, we can urge the West Kowloon Police Station to improve its own problems. Under the leadership of Commissioner Wong Ping-yiu, they have indeed lived too comfortably, and many of their cases have flaws."

He paused, and said meaningfully: "I am not criticizing the person, but the matter. I have no personal opinion on Commissioner Wong Bing-yiu. I just hope that he can lead the West Kowloon Police Station to improve the case handling process and enhance the quality of case handling."

Lai Wing-lam's remarks not only expressed his dissatisfaction with the West Kowloon Police Station, but also cleverly avoided directly attacking Wong Bing-yiu personally.

However, any discerning person could see that his target was Wong Bing Yao.

At the same time, inside the West Kowloon Police Station, Wong Bing-yao was sitting in his office with a sullen face.

He had just learned that the Department of Justice had returned the case, and before he had time to react, his assistant rushed in.

"Director, something bad has happened! There are a lot of reporters outside, and they say they are here to interview you!" The assistant was sweating profusely, and there was a hint of panic in his tone.

Huang Bingyao frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on? What are these reporters here for?"

The assistant took a few breaths and said with a grim expression, "Director, the Department of Justice has returned many of our cases. They also said that we are lax and not careful in handling cases. They even suspected that we used torture to extract confessions. These words were said by Li Yonglian, the section chief of the Department of Justice."

"What?!" Huang Bingyao slammed the table so hard that the documents on the table jumped up. He cursed angrily: "Li Yonglian, that bastard, is targeting me! Fuck you!"

The assistant was so frightened by Huang Bingyao's anger that he dared not move, for fear that his anger would be directed at him.

Huang Bingyao took a few deep breaths, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "Go and call the heads of each department to come to me, and at the same time bring the returned cases to the conference room. In ten minutes, go to the conference room for a meeting!"

"Yes, Director!" The assistant ran out quickly.

Huang Bingyao watched his assistant leave, and the anger in his heart surged up again. He slammed the table several times to vent his anger.

"Li Yonglian, you are pushing me into a desperate situation. Don't worry, if I fall, I will definitely drag you down with me, you bastard!" Huang Bingyao said gritting his teeth.

He knew that this matter was far from as simple as it seemed.

There is obviously a bigger force behind Li Yonglian.

And he must find a breakthrough in this game, otherwise his career will be in jeopardy.

Following Li Yonglian's move, the entire Hong Kong Island suddenly became turbulent.

Huang Bingyao, Li Wenbin, Watson and others were all caught up in this vortex of power.

And this game has just begun.
