Therefore, he had to set aside Wade and personally try to win over that person.
But after making phone calls for half a day, the matter was not successful because the Chinese technician was still struggling with one point: when Hong Kong returned to China, would the 50-year basic policy remain unchanged just empty talk? If he returned, would he still be persecuted? Although Nie Zhao tried to persuade him repeatedly, the other party was still hesitant, and the matter ultimately came to no avail.
After hanging up the phone, he suddenly heard a faint laugh, and it sounded very familiar.
He turned around and saw Song Yuanchao returning to the team, changing shifts with Sam. After Sam finished his shift, he stood at the entrance of the gym. Nie Zhao first wondered if he was paranoid and hallucinating.
But a gut feeling told me that this shouldn't be the case. Although he was suspicious, he shouldn't have gone to such an extreme.
He then turned off the treadmill and asked Song Yuanchao, "Is Officer Huo here?"
Song Yuanchao turned around and said, "Yes, he and his wife went to a coffee shop together, saying they wanted to talk about something."
Nie Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. His first thought wasn't jealousy, but rather relief that he wasn't sick. He had just seen Huo Qi on TV, and then suddenly heard him laughing, making him think he was going crazy.
It turned out that Huo Qi, Song Yuanchao, and Chen Rou had returned together. It was because Huo Qi's laughter came out the moment the elevator doors opened that Nie Zhao heard it.
Kowloon hasn't seen a large-scale, city-wide protest in a long time, but it broke out today. And since his Miss Chan was there, and with the Flying Tigers, she must be involved in this whole affair.
Although the government has never really interfered with Kowloon because it was not a concession, and has even intentionally condoned riots by community groups, it still has to step up and give an explanation when residents start to protest and cause trouble.
The two major triads must also make corresponding commitments to ensure that no serious incidents occur in Kowloon. Boss Nie must also follow up on this matter and do a lot of publicity because he is preparing to develop real estate in Kowloon. The houses need to be sold after they are built, and they need to be sold at high prices. In order to sell the houses at high prices, security is particularly important.
However, he couldn't worry about that for now. He had to have a meeting with the board of directors about poaching talent for the electronics company. Since he couldn't handle it, he would find someone else. In short, he would never give up until the other party explicitly refused.
But he was also eager to know what was going on with his wife, so he said to Song Yuanchao, "Let Hank be on duty by himself. You go upstairs and help your wife entertain Huo Qi, Huo Sir."
Song Yuanchao also wanted to watch the two old men's bickering battle, so he immediately said, "Yes!"
He wasn't there to entertain Inspector Fok, of course; he was there to monitor Inspector Fok, to help his boss keep an eye on that despicable Hong Kong police officer.
Huo Sir had no idea that in Song Yuanchao's eyes, he, the glorious Royal Police officer, was just a fool. It was only afternoon, not yet lunchtime, and he and Chen Rou were having afternoon tea in a coffee shop.
But to be precise, he was in the coffee shop listening to instructions from his superiors.
Because Kowloon residents have always been accustomed to the management of triads, which are monolithic and have no influence except for the Kowloon Regional Crime Unit. Even the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) cannot control them.
But today, on his first riot control mission in Kowloon, Huo Qi was surprisingly hailed as a hero by the citizens.
Leaving aside his own case, the entire Hong Kong police force was in an uproar.
The parade had just ended, and the Flying Tigers had naturally left as well. Huo Qi should have gone back immediately to report the situation, but he told the captain and asked for leave, deciding instead to sound out what Master Er and Master Dong were thinking.
Don't be fooled by the fact that they've been much more well-behaved these past two years and haven't caused much trouble.
But they are the hardened criminals. If anyone dares to mess with their gang, they won't challenge the entire police department, but they will target specific people. If anyone gets in their way, they will find a henchman to take them out. Hong Kong police officers only earn a few thousand dollars a month, so it's not worth risking their lives for their jobs.
Therefore, when it comes to clubs, things need to be discussed and agreed upon.
After finishing his call with the captain and exchanging information, he looked at Chen Rou and said first, "Mrs. Nie, from the police station's perspective, I only have two words for you: gratitude. But don't laugh at me, I'm afraid I'm now on two kill lists at the same time. Although I'm not married yet, I have a younger brother and two younger sisters."
Standing behind Chen Rou, Song Yuanchao couldn't help but say, "But Officer Huo, you are a police officer, it is your duty to punish evil and promote good."
If Huo Qi had been in Song Yuanchao's army, he wouldn't have fared any worse than him.
Moreover, having followed Nie Zhao for so long, he knew a little about Song Yuanchao's background. He smiled and said, "But Brother Song, don't forget that Hong Kong doesn't prohibit triads in terms of law, and there's no death penalty for manslaughter in triad fights."
The reason why Hong Kong's triads could become so powerful, and why figures like Master Er and Master Dong dared to be so arrogant, is because the law did not prohibit them from committing evil deeds, and they could eliminate anyone they disliked; assassins were not even sentenced to death.
Doesn't Inspector Huo want to be a good cop? He wants to be one all the time.
But he doesn't have that kind of environment.
He had even found out that Mei Lu's death was related to Nie Zhao and his son, but he couldn't get a single hair on Boss Nie's head. What else could he do?
It all depends on whose perspective you're on. Song Yuanchao, seeing things from Huo Sir's point of view, was quite worried for him and comforted him, saying, "Our Miss Chen has a good relationship with the two big shots. Let's have a good talk later. The important thing is the security in Kowloon. As long as the security is improved, Huo Sir, you will have a bright future."
