Chapter 12 Everyone pays homage to Guan Yu
Chapter 12 Everyone pays homage to Guan Yu
"We follow the rules, but the Ni family never talks about rules."
"Once this news gets out, Huang Zhicheng's life will be completely over."
"Even if the Ministry of Internal Affairs intervenes to help him change his identity and clear his name, it will be of no use!"
"For Ni Yongxiao, this is an irreconcilable hatred for the murder of his father, and he will fight to the death to avenge him."
Superintendent Chen couldn't help but sigh.
"Your judgment was right. He Chu really does have his own set of methods."
"What's even more remarkable is that he can apply what he has learned in a practical way."
"It's truly admirable."
Lu Qichang nodded solemnly.
But in his heart he was thinking to himself,
"Applying knowledge flexibly? I'm afraid that's not the case at all!"
"This guy has been hiding his talents and pretending to be mediocre all the way in the police academy, managing to fool all the inspectors."
He would never say these words to Superintendent Chen.
Superintendent Chan burst into loud laughter.
"Ah Chang, your judgment is really accurate."

"It wasn't for nothing that I risked my reputation to ask Boss Huang to transfer Inspector He over."
"Alright, I'm leaving this entirely to you!"
Lu Qichang quickly got up to see him off:
"Don't worry, sir."
"Inspector Ho will definitely handle this matter perfectly."
"I will definitely cooperate fully with his work!"
Superintendent Chen nodded in satisfaction:
"I trust you to handle things!"
He muttered to himself as he walked out.
"Finally, I can get a good night's sleep."
Inside the interrogation room, Huang Zhicheng on the other side had completely lost his mind:
"You absolutely cannot do such a thing!"
"You're deliberately trying to get me killed!"
He Chu spoke with a faint smile on his face:
"You're wrong. We are law enforcement officers and would never do anything that knowingly breaks the law."
Huang Zhicheng's face turned ashen with rage, and he roared fiercely:
"So you're going to tell the Ni family about me instigating Mary to kill Ni Kun?"
He Chu raised a finger and gently shook it.
"No, no, no, we would never do such a thing."
"At most, he's our undercover agent, who will just pass on a message to the Ni family."
Huang Zhicheng was instantly gripped by extreme fear:
"Isn't this a crime?"
He Chu then showed a surprised expression.
"Their own father was murdered; surely they know who the real killer is, right?"
Huang Zhicheng's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of a pinpoint:
"You...you want to tell Chen Yongren this news?"
He Chu's surprise deepened.
"Didn't you already know that Chen Yongren was Ni Kun's illegitimate son?"
The smile on his face vanished instantly, and his expression turned cold.
"Since you knew the relationship between the two of them, you still dared to send Ah Ren to be an undercover agent for Ni Yongxiao?"
"You'll stop at nothing to achieve your goals; even 'ruthless' wouldn't be enough to describe you."
"There shouldn't be any problem if I tell our colleagues this news, right?"
Huang Zhicheng suddenly screamed.
"Go ahead and tell them, Chen Yongren will never betray me."
"There is absolutely no father-son relationship between Ni Kun and him."
"Do you think Chen Yongren would tell Ni Yongxiao about this?"
He Chu smiled mockingly again.
"Ah Ren probably won't tell Ni Yongxiao about this on his own initiative."
"But what if the police issue a formal order directly?"
Huang Zhicheng was covered in cold sweat, and he was screaming like a madman.
"No, I'm Chen Yongren's direct superior!"
"You cannot issue such orders without my knowledge."
"I haven't been dismissed from the police force yet!"
He Chu spoke in an icy tone.
"Your current status is that of a criminal suspect."
"Otherwise, why would it be my turn to interrogate you?"
"Let's not even talk about the fact that Chen Yongren would never disobey the police's official orders."
"Even if Chen Yongren keeps quiet, do you think we can't get the news out as long as we don't break any rules?"
Stop dreaming!
"Hong Kong may not have much else, but it's overflowing with paparazzi chasing after the news."
"Just let some reporter slip a word, do you think this news won't reach the Ni family's ears?"
Huang Zhicheng froze on the spot, completely dumbfounded.
He Chu then delivered a fatal blow.
"I really want to thank you properly."
"You really think you've meticulously planned everything because Inspector Luk hasn't taken any action against you yet?"
"Do you really think he can't do anything about you?"
"Stop joking!"
"In the end, Inspector Luk is considering your long-standing camaraderie."
"He can't bring himself to hurt you."
"But I'm different."
"I'm a new recruit in Major Crimes Unit C, and there's absolutely no connection between us."
"I have even less to worry about."
"The path is laid out clearly in front of you. Either you honestly confess your crimes, or you try holding onto your Ministry of Internal Affairs cards and see what happens."
"You're welcome to give it a try!"
Huang Zhicheng was instantly overwhelmed by immense fear and screamed incoherently:
"I plead guilty!"
"I fully confess!"
"We absolutely must not tell the Ni family about this!"
He Chu snorted coldly and spoke:
"Why don't you just admit your mistake and leave?"
"What a despicable wretch!" Huang Zhicheng completely broke down.
He Chu's words, each one a dagger to the heart, shattered his last shred of hope.
Just as He Chu said, there was no familial connection between him and Huang Zhicheng, nor any colleagueship from working together for many years.
Unlike Lu Qichang, He Chu also did not harbor any pity for Huang Zhicheng.
If Huang Zhicheng dares to put up a stubborn resistance, He Chu will not hesitate to sell him off completely.
It would be too easy to leak this information; all you need to do is find a familiar reporter to give you a heads-up.
Those reporters will definitely spread this news throughout the streets and alleys of Hong Kong Island in no time.
When that time really comes, even the Ministry of the Interior will absolutely not be able to protect Huang Zhicheng.
He had no choice but to bow his head and compromise.
Huang Zhicheng ultimately had no choice but to admit defeat decisively.
When He Chugang came in to interrogate him, Huang Zhicheng didn't take the young man seriously at all.
He never expected that in the end, it would be this young inspector who would pin him down so firmly that he would have no chance of turning things around.
Now that things have come to this, Huang Zhicheng can only manage a bitter smile; he has no other reaction.
The final outcome of this matter was quite gratifying.
Huang Zhicheng was ordered to leave the police force and was permanently barred from being rehired.
Everyone in the police force, except for the Department of Internal Affairs, was very satisfied with this result.
The Ministry of the Interior had long been eager to use Huang Zhicheng as a breakthrough point to reorganize all front-line police officers and take the opportunity to expand their power and influence.
Superintendent Chan, however, hoped to resolve the matter within the Major Crimes Unit.
To put it bluntly, it means that family scandals should not be aired in public.
Lu Qichang gave He Chu a thumbs up:
"Officer Ho, you handled this matter exceptionally well."
"That psychological warfare tactic was absolutely brilliant."
He Chu smiled gently and spoke.
"Inspector Lu, if you replaced Huang Zhicheng with anyone else, I believe you could easily make him bow his head and confess his crimes."
Lu Qichang remained silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head:
"I just can't bring myself to treat him the same way I treat others, without showing him any mercy."
He paused for a moment before asking,
"Wang Zhicheng was only dismissed from the police force in the end. Do you feel uncomfortable about that?"
He Chu spoke very frankly.
"To be honest, there is a little bit."
Lu Qichang quickly began to explain.
"I completely understand why you don't like Huang Zhicheng's way of handling cases."
"But, Inspector Ho, we always emphasize flexibility and adaptability in handling cases."
"His situation isn't really a big problem."
He Chu's expression immediately became extremely serious.
"Inspector Lu, do you think that's why I'm upset?"
Lu Qichang was stunned on the spot.
"Isn't that right?"
He Chu spoke calmly:
"Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. It is perfectly acceptable to use some unconventional methods in order to solve a case."
"That's not the problem at all."
"What really disgusts me about Huang Zhicheng is that he has no regard for the lives and safety of our colleagues."
Lu Qichang's expression suddenly changed, and his heart skipped a beat.
He Chu spoke with utmost sincerity.
"We are police officers, especially those in the serious crimes unit. We walk on a knife's edge every day; it's extremely dangerous."
"To become colleagues is a life-or-death friendship where you can completely entrust your back to the other person."
"Inspector Lu, if we go on a mission together, I'm willing to entrust my back to you without any hesitation."
"But if it were Huang Zhicheng, I really wouldn't dare to do it even a little bit."
Lu Qichang spoke with a solemn expression.
"Even now, I still don't dare to entrust my back to him."
He Chu's expression turned extremely serious once again.
"The worst impact of Huang Zhicheng's incident is that it will cause our frontline police officers to distrust their teammates."
Lu Qichang was stunned on the spot.
He Chu gave a wry smile.
"Think about it carefully, what if this distrust spreads within the team?"
"What should we do about the unspoken, life-or-death cooperation within our police force?"
"Huang Zhicheng has really set a very bad precedent."
Lu Qichang chuckled twice.
"Officer Ho, aren't you taking this a bit too seriously?"
He Chu spoke calmly:
"I hope I'm just overthinking it!"
"If we don't handle this properly, we'll be in big trouble later."
The smile on Lu Qichang's face vanished instantly. He turned abruptly and ran out, shouting as he ran.
"I'm going to find Superintendent Chan right now!"
He Chu watched his retreating figure, a faint smile playing on his lips. He knew that his position in the Major Crimes Unit was now completely secure!
Upon hearing Lu Qichang's retelling, Superintendent Chen was so shocked that he stood up on the spot:
"He Chu is absolutely right!"
"The most important thing in the police force is discipline, and trust comes second."
"We are all armed men."
"Once the trust between each other is broken, there's really no way to salvage the situation."
He paced back and forth in the office, looking anxious.
After a long while, he finally stopped and spoke.
"I must report this to General Huang immediately."
"This could be a major event that shakes the very foundation of our police force."
"Once the trust within the team is completely broken, it will be incredibly easy for the Internal Affairs Department to control us."
Superintendent Chen couldn't help but sigh.
"Ah Chang, you have a really good eye."
Lu Qichang spoke sincerely.
"Inspector Ho is really capable. He solved Huang Zhicheng's case completely in just one day."
Superintendent Chen waved his hand.
That's not what I meant.
Lu Qichang was stunned, looking completely bewildered.
"That's not it?"
Superintendent Chen's expression turned serious, and he spoke in a solemn tone:
"He Chu's case-handling ability is indeed first-class, but to be honest, our headquarters has no shortage of this kind of talent."
"Yuan Haoyun from Group A, Uncle Tian from Group B, and you from Group C, aren't you all top-notch investigators, one in a million?"
"Where in the entire police force and various police stations is there a shortage of capable investigators?"
"Like Chan Ka-kui and his gang, aren't they all top-notch detectives in the police force?"
Lu Qichang asked, his face full of confusion.
"So what do you mean?"
Superintendent Chen spoke with a serious expression.
"You are all brave and daring, and no boss would dislike you."
"But Achang, He Chu is different from you."
"He has political acumen and understands the big picture."
As he spoke, Superintendent Chen pointed to his head.
"If you want to get promoted, just being good at solving cases and arresting people is far from enough."
"You need to learn to use your brain and understand the long-term picture."
"From now on, you'd better learn from He Chu."
Lu Qichang was an honest and upright man, and after hearing this, he immediately nodded in agreement.
He didn't see anything wrong with asking He Chu, who was younger than him, for advice.
"Don't worry, Sir, I will definitely learn from Inspector Ho."
Superintendent Chen's face showed a look of great satisfaction.
"You never disappoint me."
"I'll go report this to General Huang right now."
He turned and walked away after he finished speaking, but after taking only a couple of steps, he suddenly turned back and spoke again.
"You handled this case exceptionally well. I will definitely recommend you to the boss."
Lu Qichang quickly smiled and said:
"Thank you, boss!"
After seeing Superintendent Chen off, he rushed back to his office and told He Chu everything that had just happened.
After listening, He Chu suddenly asked a question:
"Inspector Lu, how much does Huang Zhicheng know about the things you're handling?"
Lu Qichang asked with a puzzled look:
Which aspect of the matter are you referring to?
He Chu uttered two words bluntly.
"Undercover agent!"
Lu Qichang was stunned on the spot:
"An undercover agent?"
His expression changed drastically instantly.
"You mean Huang Zhicheng might leak information about our undercover agents?"
He Chu countered with a question:
"What else did you think?"
Lu Qichang frowned deeply and spoke.
"Huang Zhicheng's initial confession was based on the condition that we did not want us to reveal that he had instigated Mary to kill Ni Kun."
"If he dares to betray our undercover agent to the gang..."
"He himself will definitely not end well, will he?"
He Chu reminded him in a deep voice,
"Huang Zhicheng certainly wouldn't dare to go to Ni Yongxiao, after all, he felt guilty and was afraid that Ni Yongxiao would take his life."
"But there is one person with whom Huang Zhicheng has always been very close."
Lu Qichang's face turned deathly pale instantly:
"Han Chen?"
He Chu nodded solemnly:
"Yes, it's Han Chen!"
"What if he tells Han Chen all the information about our undercover agents?"
"Those undercover agents who were planted are all doomed; their lives are in danger."
