Shen Dong told Li Wenbin the address of the Lion's hired residence, and Li Wenbin was immediately startled, saying, "So close? Is your information reliable?"
Shen Dong said, "Whether it's reliable or not, why don't you take some people there and find out? Even if my people get scammed, so what? You don't have any other information anyway."
Li Wenbin took a deep breath and said, "Alright, leave the rest to me. Ah Dong, I hope you won't take action."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "If I were going to take action, I wouldn't have called you. Li Sir, I'll be waiting for your good news."
After hanging up the phone, Li Wenbin began to deploy his troops.
In order to avoid revealing the mission's objective, Li Wenbin only deployed his trusted confidants and the Flying Tigers.
Half an hour later, a fierce gunfight broke out in Wan Chai.
Although the Lion Mercenaries were caught off guard, they were well-trained soldiers who quickly regained their composure and, using their superior weaponry, engaged the police in a fierce battle.
The two sides fought for about an hour, and after suffering 16 casualties, the police successfully eliminated the Lion Mercenaries.
Upon receiving the news, Shen Dong finally broke into a bright smile.
Chen Hui said, "Brother Dong, you were right. If we were fighting these guys, we would probably suffer a lot of casualties too."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Hong Kong Island is a society governed by the rule of law. We are the senior executives of the Ascendas Group, and we must be aware that we need the police to work for us. Remember, they are not our enemies, but our servants, our cleaners. Do you all understand?"
Hehehehe
Everyone couldn't help but laugh, and said in unison, "Understood."
The following day, the newly appointed Commissioner of Police, Joe Ding-on, and Chief Superintendent of Police of Hong Kong Island, Lee Man-bun, held a press conference on behalf of the Police Force to provide details of the elimination of the Lion Army mercenaries and to express their gratitude to a citizen for reporting the incident.
Through this incident, Qiao Ding'an expressed to the outside world his determination and confidence in maintaining the security of Hong Kong Island.
In less than 24 hours, a group of powerful terrorists were dealt with, and this perfect performance finally quelled the dissatisfaction of the citizens of Hong Kong Island.
After the press conference, Qiao Ding'an brought Li Wenbin to his office.
Qiao Ding'an personally brewed Li Wenbin a cup of tea and said with an appreciative look, "Wenbin, how was your rest?"
Li Wenbin laughed and said, "Sleeping for four hours is not bad."
Qiao Ding'an said, "If all the police officers had your work ethic, I think the security situation on Hong Kong Island would be much better."
Unable to fathom Qiao Ding'an's thoughts, Li Wenbin quickly replied, "You flatter me. The brothers are all working very hard; they're just doing their jobs."
Qiao Ding'an stared intently at Li Wenbin and asked, "Why wasn't last night's operation reported in advance?"
Li Wenbin's heart sank, and he explained, "Time is too tight. We finally got information about the terrorists, and we really don't want them to escape for any reason."
Qiao Ding'an raised an eyebrow and said, "What are the reasons? Do you think I have connections with terrorists?"
Li Wenbin said, "Of course not. I mean those people in the US. You should know very well who the financial backers of the Lion Mercenaries are, right?"
Qiao Ding'an sneered, "They're just a bunch of grasshoppers in autumn; they won't be able to hop around for much longer."
Um?
From Qiao Ding'an's tone, Li Wenbin seemed to sense something else.
In the Security Bureau, Qiao Ding'an was a representative of the centrists. He was always smiling and offended neither the mainland faction nor the American faction. He was affectionately called a "fence-sitter" by the police officers below him.
Previously, Li Wenbin had a very bad impression of this senior security official.
However, after getting to know him, Li Wenbin realized that the person in front of him was not a "fence-sitter" at all, but a very strong, even somewhat aggressive, hardliner.
Seeing Li Wenbin sitting there silently, Qiao Ding'an smiled and said, "Your unauthorized mobilization of the Flying Tigers to attack the Lion Mercenaries has greatly displeased some leaders of the Security Bureau, who have expressed strong dissatisfaction to me. My reply is that you obtained my consent before taking action."
Li Wenbin said, "Thank you, Director Qiao."
Qiao Ding'an took a sip of tea and said, "Wenbin, do you know what kind of tea this is?"
Li Wenbin said, "Black tea."
Qiao Ding'an asked, "Have you ever drunk the best black tea?"
Li Wenbin was taken aback and said, "I don't have that kind of luck."
Qiao Ding'an said meaningfully, "I have a small amount of black tea at home, which was given to me by an elder. I'd like to invite you over for a cup another day."
Li Wenbin immediately showed an incredulous expression and said, "Okay."
Qiao Ding'an waved his hand and said, "Go back and get some rest. It's best not to let anyone know about my black tea business, including Inspector Cai."
Li Wenbin replied, "Understood."
As Li Wenbin left Qiao Ding'an's office, he was still incredibly shocked.
Is Wuyishan Da Hong Pao something that a middle-of-the-road approach can obtain?
What kind of international joke is this?
The only explanation is that Qiao Ding'an, the most famous fence-sitter in the Security Bureau, is from the north.
He fooled the Americans, the centrists, and the mainlanders. Qiao Ding'an's double agent act was so skillful that it was impossible not to admire him.
The key point is that, so far, no one else in the police force knows about this except for myself.
Even Cai Yuanqi was kept in the dark.
Li Wenbin guessed that Qiao Ding'an probably needed a staunch inlander to do things for him, which was why he told him.
This also shows that Beibian is very satisfied with his daily work.
With this in mind, Li Wenbin's steps suddenly became much lighter.
Having one of his own people as the Commissioner of Police was the best thing that could have been for Li Wenbin.
He believed that as long as he worked hard, the position of deputy director would be within five years.
At lunchtime, Cai Yuanqi brought a lunchbox and sat down opposite Li Wenbin.
To demonstrate equal treatment, from the Commissioner of Police to the officers, everyone must queue for food at the canteen unless there is an emergency.
Li Wenbin glanced at the food in Cai Yuanqi's lunchbox and laughed, "Cai sir, why are you only eating vegetables and not meat?"
Cai Yuanqi said, "I haven't had much of an appetite lately. Eating too much meat makes it hard to digest. I should eat more vegetables."
