Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 1170 Fan Weili helps out

Seeing this, Philip immediately said, "Director Fan, we are just discussing the matter at hand. Regardless, the police force's failure to report this matter to the Security Bureau is a serious dereliction of duty."

"The impact of this incident is so significant that it cannot be explained in just two sentences. I think the police force absolutely needs to report this to the Secretary for Home Affairs to prevent a situation like today from happening again."

"But the police force did none of this. I personally feel that the senior police officers bear an unshirkable responsibility for this. I suggest that the relevant responsible persons be removed from their posts and that the Independent Commission Against Corruption be called in to intervene."

When Watson heard this, he almost laughed out of anger. This old guy is still determined to harm me. He wants to remove himself from his position as soon as he arrives, and he also wants the Independent Commission Against Corruption to intervene. What? Dismissal is not enough, he also wants to arrest me and send me to prison!

Just as he was about to change his tone and refute, Fan Weili suddenly said, "Director Philip, you're going a bit too far. I've already said that the police force has already reported the relevant information to the Governor and the Finance Department in advance."

"Strictly speaking, the case involves Hong Kong's financial markets, and the Financial Secretary happens to be in charge of related matters. The police didn't report to the Security Bureau and the Secretary for Administration because they were worried about the news leaking. After all, the case involves so many people."

"For example, Xu Huaijing, who was once the Commissioner of Police, and retired personnel from the Secretary for Home Affairs and the Security Bureau are also involved. This is done as a precautionary measure. I believe Secretary Philip can understand."

"Also, the Governor has agreed to the police's action plan and has secured support. This will stabilize Hong Kong Island's financial markets. Please don't worry."

Philip stared at Fan Weili with a sharp look in his eyes. He was very upset because he kept contradicting him. He had never dared to talk to him like that before. It was all because...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Watson. It was all because of this person.

Watson faced Philip's gaze without any fear. He stared at him straight and finally grinned, full of sarcasm.

"Commander Philip, if you have any dissatisfaction with the police force's actions, you can go to the Governor to file a complaint. As for whether it will have any effect, that's hard to say."

"Regarding the crowds gathering at the government office building today, the police have already resolved it. It didn't cause any significant impact or damage. We are busy with work, so I'll take my leave now!"

After saying that, he turned and left. Li Wenbin was stunned for a moment and immediately followed him.

Seeing Watson looking down on everyone, Philip's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he turned his head to look at Parker, the director of the Security Bureau.

After seeing the other party's ugly face, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly. His purpose in doing this was very simple, which was to make the Police Department the target of public criticism.

He knew very well that it was unlikely to punish the Commissioner of Police and the Deputy Commissioner of Police based on what happened today, but as long as the Police Department offended enough people, then if everyone united, the unlikely would become possible.

"Everyone, I'm sure you've seen this. This is the senior leader of the Hong Kong Police Force who protects Hong Kong Island. He doesn't take us all seriously at all. Can such a person really lead the Police Force to protect Hong Kong Island?"

Fan Weili frowned, wanting to explain but not knowing how. After thinking for a moment, he said, "There are more places where people gather than just the government buildings. The police need to go to other places to maintain order. You can't call him arrogant, can you?"

Philip tilted his head to glance at Fan Weili and said calmly, "Everyone here has a higher position than that Hua Sir, but how did he treat you? In Chinese, that's called committing an insubordinate act."

"No matter how busy he is, he shouldn't neglect the many leaders present. He has no respect for the Hong Kong government. I think such a person is not fit to lead the Police Force."

Although Attorney General Lai Wing-lam wasn't present at the meeting, he had his own allies. Upon hearing Philip's words, his eyes lit up. Bianca, a city councilor, immediately remarked, "I agree with Secretary Philip. For an undercover officer like Watson, it's hard to guarantee his inner integrity. Holding a high-ranking position in the Police Department carries certain risks."

Fan Weili said coldly, "Risk? Do you mean Watson dismantled Hong Kong Island's three top gangs, causing the once arrogant triads to disappear, or do you mean he wiped out all the major drug lords in Hong Kong Island, ushering in a drug-free era?"

"Or maybe the case he was handling involved you and touched your cake?"

Bianca was very angry, but she didn't dare to confront Fan Weili. You know, as the director of the Finance Department, if she went against him, it would be difficult for her to get financial support in the future.

You can't use your own money to achieve achievements!

Without achievements, you can’t get promoted, and without promotion, you can’t make money, and you will fall into a vicious circle.

Moreover, Fan Weili is now very powerful in Hong Kong Island. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he wants to compete with Philip for the next governor. In addition, the other party is in charge of the purse strings. If he offends the God of Wealth, it will be impossible for him to have an easy life in the future.

So he didn't dare to offend Fan Weili in any way and could only let the other party scold him.

Philip frowned slightly: "Okay, let's not talk about irrelevant topics. We are discussing the fact that the police department did not report this operation."

On the other side, after Hua Sheng led Li Wenbin out of the government building, Li Wenbin behind him suddenly said, "Mr. Hua, thank you very much."

Watson stopped, turned around and said with a smile, "Sir Li, you're too polite. We all work in the police department. How could we possibly watch those bureaucrats insult you like that? And that Philip was targeting you, but he was actually targeting me. I should be the one apologizing to you."

Li Wenbin shook his head and wanted to say something, but Watson smiled and said, "Okay, this matter is over. Don't take what just happened to heart. In two years, these foreigners will no longer be so arrogant. By then, Hong Kong Island will be ruled by the Chinese."

"These foreigners either get out or stay and become dogs. No one can stop this from happening!"

"Now is the last time they can be so arrogant. In two years, they will either leave in disgrace or stay and become dogs. Then, just wait and see how I deal with them!"

There was a cold glint in Watson's eyes. It was also because Philip's status was too high that he could not use some tricks, otherwise he would have wanted to deal with the other party long ago.
