This is the biggest reason why Liu Jianming was promoted so quickly.
“Inspector Leung, given the tremendous success of Operation Crouching Tiger, I have planned another operation.”
After a few seconds of contemplation, Liu Jianming looked at Liang Wenfeng and said with a smile.
"Oh? Jianming, what operation?"
Upon hearing Liu Jianming's words, Liang Wenfeng immediately became interested and asked with a smile.
"Inspector Leung, please take a look at these first."
Liu Jianming took a stack of documents from his bag and handed them to Liang Wenfeng.
"Haha, Jianming, so you were prepared all along."
Liang Wenfeng smiled and said something, then took the stack of documents Liu Jianming handed him and began to look through them.
The stack of documents wasn't very thick, but it took Liang Wenfeng more than ten minutes to read through all the contents. During the process, it was clear that Liang Wenfeng's focus was becoming increasingly intense.
A dozen minutes later, Liang Wenfeng slowly rearranged the stack of documents, looked at Liu Jianming, and said, "Jianming, you always manage to surprise me."
"Let the undercover agents in 'Operation Crouching Tiger' fight each other, disrupt the underworld, and then, with the cooperation of other departments in our police force, take over the leadership of their respective gangs and completely control them. It's a very bold plan."
At this point, Liang Wenfeng's smile widened. "To be honest, Jianming, if your plan succeeds, I'd give you my position without any problem. The credit would be too great."
Throughout Hong Kong Island, since the establishment and growth of triads, the "war" between the police and triads has never stopped. Although the police have held an absolute advantage most of the time, the triads are like centipedes, never dying but never falling. Countless old triads have fallen, but countless new triads have emerged, endlessly and without end.
However, if Lau Kin-ming's plan succeeds, the triad will become a 'puppet' of the police force, a feat that Leung Man-fung finds exhilarating.
"Inspector Leung, you flatter me. I simply made a rather bold plan based on the current progress of Operation Crouching Tiger."
Liu Jianming replied with a smile.
“Jianming, you’re too modest. I guarantee that as long as I hand this plan over to the higher-ups in the police force, it will immediately attract their attention. Maybe even the top officer will personally review your plan.”
Liang Wenfeng also said with a smile.
"Inspector Leung, do you think the police leadership will approve this plan?"
A hint of 'nervousness' appeared on Liu Jianming's face at just the right moment, and he began his acting.
"Yes, the police leadership is paying close attention to Operation 'Hidden Tiger'. Once you submit your plan to them, you will definitely gain their support."
At this point, Liang Wenfeng paused slightly, then looked at Liu Jianming and continued with a smile, "By the way, Jianming, I noticed that you haven't given the operation a name in this plan?"
“Inspector Leung, this operation has a name. I call it New World.”
Liu Jianming smiled slightly and spoke slowly.
This plan was naturally given to Liu Jianming by Li Jun. The purpose was very simple: to use the power of the police force to put his 50 'undercover agents' in high-ranking positions in various triads.
On the surface, the Hong Kong Police Force controls the major triads on Hong Kong Island, but in reality, it is Li Jun who controls them. If Operation 'New World' succeeds, Li Jun will truly control the entire Hong Kong underworld.
Using the manpower and force of the Hong Kong Island Police Force to do his bidding, and making the Hong Kong Island Police Force willingly—that's Li Jun.
"New world?"
Upon hearing Liu Jianming's words, Liang Wenfeng was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Good name, Jianming. If this operation succeeds, our police force will indeed usher Hong Kong Island into a new world, a new world without triads and gangs."
"Inspector Leung, I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye."
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Liang Wenfeng, Liu Jianming took his leave.
A few minutes later, downstairs at the Hong Kong Island Police Headquarters building, inside a Toyota sedan.
After getting into the car, Liu Jianming didn't rush to start the engine. Instead, he took out a mobile phone and dialed a number.
"Brother Hua, everything is settled, and the proposal has been submitted."
After the call connected, Liu Jianming spoke.
"Okay, Officer Liu, thank you for your hard work."
Ah-Hua's voice came through the receiver.
"Brother Hua, is this plan really about controlling the underworld?"
Before Ahua hung up the phone, Liu Jianming hurriedly asked.
He needed Ahua to give him a reason, an excuse, even if that reason or excuse was fake.
"Liu sir, in a gangster world with only one voice, there's no 'war,' no fighting, just everyone making their own money. Isn't that good?"
On the other end of the phone, Ahua smiled slightly and spoke slowly.
Clearly, he had reached a level of mastery in manipulating Liu Jianming.
"Brother Hua, you're right."
Upon hearing Ahua's words, Liu Jianming breathed a long sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face, and then spoke.
'Beep beep beep~'
Liu Jianming was met with a busy signal, but he didn't care. He tossed his mobile phone into the passenger seat, started the car, and drove towards the Kowloon Regional Headquarters building.
40 minute later.
"Inspector Liu, something's happened!"
As soon as Liu Jianming entered the office of the Kowloon Regional Criminal Intelligence Bureau, a policewoman came up to him and said loudly, which startled Liu Jianming.
"what happened?"
Liu Jianming pretended to be calm, looked at the policewoman, and asked.
"Liu sir, something happened to the wiretapping team. Senior Constable Yang Zhen and his family were in a car accident. Another Senior Constable, Lin Yixiang, has not been contacted yet. Just now, Liang Junyi received a phone call and seemed very emotional. He left the police station immediately."
The policewoman reported this to Liu Jianming.
The Criminal Intelligence Division is divided into five groups: A, B, C, D, and E.
Group A is the monitoring group, commonly known as the "rabbit squad," whose main job is to contact and recruit informants.
Group B, commonly known as the intelligence group, is responsible for analyzing, filtering, and verifying intelligence collected from various sources. It is the most important department of the Criminal Intelligence Bureau.
Group C is the support operations group, and also the most overworked group in the entire Criminal Intelligence Division. They are responsible for the vehicles and equipment used in the operations and need to follow the case throughout the entire process.
Group D is the operations support group, primarily responsible for tracking and providing support.
Group E is the technical support group, responsible for deploying various eavesdropping equipment and long-range telescopes to carry out long-range eavesdropping missions.
Originally, Lau Kin-ming was the head of Group B. After being promoted to chief inspector, he was temporarily put in charge of all work because there was a vacancy for the superintendent of the Kowloon Regional Criminal Intelligence Bureau. Groups A, B, C, D, and E were all under his jurisdiction.
The Liang Junyi group that is now in trouble is the E Group's technical support team, and the head of the technical support team is named Li Guang, a senior inspector.
Thinking of this, Liu Jianming immediately asked the policewoman, "Where is Li Guang?"
“Li Sir went out with Liang Junyi, and we can’t contact him now.”
The policewoman answered immediately.
‘Ring ring ring~’
Just then, a telephone rang.
"Which one?"
Liu Jianming grabbed the phone and asked.
"I am Chen Taihang, Senior Inspector of the Major Crimes Unit."
A man's voice came through the receiver.
"Inspector Chan, this is Chief Inspector Lau Kin-ming of the Criminal Intelligence Bureau. What can I do for you?"
"Inspector Liu, there was just a shooting in the underground parking garage. The injured are Senior Inspector Li Guang from your Criminal Intelligence Bureau and his wife. They have been taken to the hospital for treatment. We need to question Inspector Liang Junyi, the only eyewitness at the scene. We need to let you know first..."
"Inspector Chen, please give me some face. I'll meet with my subordinates first to get a sense of the situation."
Chen Taihang was interrupted by Liu Jianming before he could finish speaking.
……
Soon after, a shooting occurred in the basement of the Kowloon Regional Headquarters building, and the news of a senior inspector and his wife being shot and killed was brought to the news by Hong Kong Island's 'diligent' reporters.
This news happened to be seen by Li Jun, who was watching TV out of boredom in Haojiang.
Upon seeing the news and hearing that the deceased policeman was named Li Guang and was a senior inspector in the Criminal Intelligence Bureau, a memory immediately flashed through Li Jun's mind.
In this memory, Li Guang's death involves a man known as "Boss," who specializes in laundering shady money for all sorts of people around the world, involving amounts as high as tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars.
This kind of person is exactly Li Jun's favorite.
Thinking of this, Li Jun picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Ahua, it's me."
After the call connected, Li Jun spoke.
"Brother Jun, what can I do for you?"
Ahua immediately asked.
"Ahua, I need you to do something for me. Go find Liu Jianming..."
Li Jun smiled slightly and spoke slowly.
"understand!"
