: Inspector Li is starting to show his domineering side!

Chapter 73 Li Sir is starting to show his domineering side (Second update, please subscribe)

After hanging up the phone, Li Wenbin said to Yang Bier and Peng Yingqi, "You've worked hard. Go back and rest. I'll keep an eye on things here."

Peng Yingqi was startled; was the head of the 0th Division personally watching over her at the hospital?

She quickly said, "Officer Li, I'm not tired, I want to wait until the head comes out—"

"This is an order." Li Wenbin's tone left no room for argument.

"This case is so big, and we still have a ton of work to do tomorrow. You all need to rest."

Yang Bier pulled Peng Yingqi towards the door, nodding to Li Wenbin: "Boss, we'll be going now. Let us know if you have any news."

She noticed that Li Wenbin seemed slightly more domineering than before.

After the two left, Li Wenbin was left alone in the corridor.

He leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette, but glanced at the no-smoking sign and irritably stubbed it out.

Time passed second by second.

Finally, the emergency room door opened, and a middle-aged doctor came out.

Li Wenbin immediately went to greet him: "Doctor, I'm the patient's superior. How is he?"

The emergency room doctor glanced at Li Wenbin and said calmly, "The patient has multiple soft tissue contusions and abrasions, a minor fracture in the third and fourth ribs on the left side, and a mild concussion."

"We have already taken initial measures, but the patient needs to remain in the hospital for observation."

"Of course, the patient is a police officer who was injured on duty. Our hospital will provide the best medical services, so you don't need to worry too much."

Hearing that Shen Shaofeng was alright, Li Wenbin finally felt much relieved.

He breathed a sigh of relief and asked in as polite a tone as possible, "Thank you, doctor. Can I see him now?"

"Yes, but not for too long; the patient needs rest."

Li Wenbin pushed open the door and entered the ward.

Shen Shaofeng had already woken up and was leaning against the headboard, pretending to doze off.

He was somewhat surprised and touched to see Li Wenbin: "Boss? What brings you here?"

He had taken advantage of his injury to collapse, hoping to boost his reputation, but he never expected that Li Wenbin, the zero-reporter supervisor, would rush over overnight.

Li Wenbin walked to the bed and looked him up and down: "You bad boy, do you want to risk your life?"

Shen Shaofeng laughed awkwardly, "This was an accident. I never imagined that little sausage had planted a time bomb under me—"

Li Wenbin pulled up a chair and sat down, stopping Shen Shaofeng's "excuses": "Abi already told me, blast injury, fractured ribs, concussion, internal organ damage—you call that an accident? Do you think you're Rambo?"

He grew angrier as he spoke, standing up with his hands on his hips, glaring at Shen Shaofeng: "Shen Shaofeng, let me tell you, the 0th Bureau doesn't need another one like you charging into battle. If I find out you're injured and forcing yourself to continue, I'll transfer you to an administrative position, making you spend all your time writing reports on a computer. You believe me?"

In Li Wenbin at this moment, Shen Shaofeng vaguely saw the figure of the domineering deputy director who was brought to the ICAC and instead taught the investigation director Zhang Guobiao a lesson.

Thinking of this, he felt "relieved" and solemnly said, "I'm sorry, boss, I made you worry."

Li Wenbin sighed, his tone softening: "You did a great job this time, and you've done a great service for our Zero Division again."

He sat back down, pulled his chair closer, and asked in a low voice, "What exactly happened? Weren't these people supposed to be the doctor's men? Why did they bring along a bunch of international drug traffickers?"

Shen Shaofeng recounted the entire process he had previously told Cai Yuanqi to Li Wenbin, verbatim.

"Boss, for Cai Yuanqi, taking down Little Bird's gang and preventing them from hijacking the prison van might be more advantageous than taking down Doctor and his group."

He was afraid that Li Wenbin wouldn't understand the intricacies, so he gave a simple explanation.

Li Wenbin stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and sighed, "There's nothing we can do. We're police officers; are we supposed to know there are ruthless criminals and not arrest them?"

Shen Shaofeng then remembered that he had promised to report to Cai Yuanqi. He picked up the phone that the nurse had put aside earlier and called Cai Yuanqi in front of Li Wenbin.

"Officer Choi, it's me. I'm sorry, there's been a bit of an accident, I'm in the hospital. The satellite phone isn't with me right now—"

"Okay, I'll take care of myself. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Cai."

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Li Wenbin: "Boss, I have international channels that Cai Yuanqi needs, and I will selectively hand them over to him."

Li Wenbin knew Shen Shaofeng would know how to handle things, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then you should get some rest. Call me if you need anything."

I."

"Bye-bye, boss."

The following day, with various rumors circulating from dubious sources and the official announcement at a police press conference, the shocking case at Cheung Lung Auto Repair Shop in Yuen Long once again caused a sensation on Hong Kong Island!

"A fierce battle in Yuen Long late at night foils a shocking international criminal plot to break a prisoner" - Oriental Daily News.

"Repair shop turns into battlefield! Inspector fights seven thugs and is seriously wounded" - Apple Daily.

Police thwart cross-border serious crimes, upholding the dignity of international law enforcement – ​​Ming Pao.

Television and radio news, broadcast 24/7.

Several television stations, including TVB, ATV, and Lok's, broadcast footage of the police press conference during their midday news programs.

The police spokesperson highly praised the bravery of frontline officers while emphasizing that the police force's mission is to resolutely combat all crime, whether it be local criminals or international organizations.

The news that Inspector Shen Shaofeng, the frontline commander of this operation, was bravely wounded has been mentioned many times, and his official photo in police uniform has appeared repeatedly on television screens in various households.

A tea restaurant in Mong Kok.

"Wow, this police officer is quite handsome."

"Yes, he's not only handsome, but also incredibly skilled. He was the one who cracked down on the Ni family's drug trafficking operation. If only we had more police officers like him on Hong Kong Island."

"Ugh, don't even mention it. Those foreign executives are only interested in making money. They've made Hong Kong a complete mess of public order!"

"Yes, Uncle Hing, last month, my mother's stall was taken over by gangsters. I went to the Mong Kok Police Station to report it, but nobody paid any attention to it."

New Territories North, Headquarters of the Mobile Force.

The PTU reporters, upon seeing the news, felt both envy and empathy.

As frontline personnel, they understood the dangers of such a tough battle and admired Shen Shaofeng and his colleagues in Team B for their life-risking performance.

Many people gossiped during their leisure time, saying, "Inspector Shen, he really has guts!"

"I heard the fighting there was like Iraq; bombs exploded several times!"

"Yes, I can testify. I was at the scene last night, and the battle was indeed very intense."

"Brother Zhan, we heard that Shen Shaofeng was your team leader during your internship. Tell us about him."

Sergeant Ho Man-chin of the First Squad of Company B smiled and said, "Inspector Shen graduated with honors from the Inspectorate, so he's definitely capable. But I think that once we're in this uniform, we're all on the same side, regardless of rank."

-

Mary Hospital, intensive care unit.

Shen Shaofeng had just seen off Yang Bier, Wang Zhizong, and others who came to visit him on behalf of the two teams from Group B.

There was another knock on the ward door.

"Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and Lok Wai-ching walked in carrying a fruit basket and a thermos.

She looked dashing in a bright red coat and jeans today.

"Hey, great hero, you're still in good spirits!"

She put down her things and glanced at the bandages on his body.

Shen Shaofeng was slightly surprised: "Senior sister? How did you find this place?"

"It's all over the news in Hong Kong, it's impossible not to know," Lok Wai-ching said jokingly as she sat down on a chair by the bed. "The intensive care unit is nice, isn't it? How are you doing, you're not going to die, are you?"

Shen Shaofeng chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Thanks to my senior sister, I fractured two ribs and had a buzzing head for a few days. The doctor said I'd be fine again after two weeks of rest."

As she poured the soup from the thermos onto the lid, she said, "Wow, junior brother, last time it was a shootout at a restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui, this time it's an explosion at a car repair shop in Yuen Long. Next time, should we bomb a ship in international waters? Are your 0 Bureau's cases this intense these days?"

Shen Shaofeng quickly changed the subject: "The police, there's nothing we can do about it. I'm nothing compared to them. There's a senior officer named Chen Jiaju in the Major Crimes Unit of the General District who's even more outrageous. He's always jumping to stop buses, leaping down from several stories high, driving down mountains and leveling shacks or something —"

Le Huizhen didn't fall for the trap easily. She glared at Shen Shaofeng and handed him the lid of the pot containing soup: "American ginseng stewed chicken, it's good for replenishing qi and blood. My mother heard I was coming to visit a police officer junior who was injured in the line of duty, and she insisted on giving it to me. You should drink it to save face."

"Please thank Boyou for me; she's very kind. And thank you for your concern, senior sister."

Shen Shaofeng took it, took a sip, and then sincerely thanked him.

On Hong Kong Island, because "伯母" (bó mǔ) sounds like "百无" (bǎi wú), which is considered unlucky, the mothers of friends and colleagues are usually respectfully addressed as "伯友" (bó yǒu), which means "having everything."

"Hmph, who cares about you?" Yue Huizhen's pretty face flushed slightly.

After a few seconds, unable to suppress his reporter instincts, he lowered his voice and asked, "Hey, is it really that exaggerated on the scene? Do you have any exclusive scoops? An exclusive interview would be great."

Shen Shaofeng shook his head: "Sorry, you know about the rules of handling cases, senior sister. An interview isn't convenient either, because the PPRB just called me and asked me to cooperate in recording an episode of 'Police News' these next few days to improve the police force's image—"

"Wow, you're even using the wounded? Your police force is inhuman."

Le Huizhen pouted and said, "Fine, I know it's pointless to ask you. I had a patent attorney look at the design of that baby bottle you gave me last time. Attorney Luo said the structural idea is very creative and fully meets the requirements for patent application—"

I have already prepared and submitted the relevant documents for you.

"Thank you for your trouble, Senior Sister." Shen Shaofeng was somewhat surprised by her efficiency.

"You're a professional in these matters, so just handle it. If you need my signature, feel free to contact me anytime if you're willing to pay."

"Are you really that careless? Aren't you afraid I'll swallow you?" Lok Hye-ching raised an eyebrow.

"Your family is so wealthy and powerful, why would you even bother with such a small thing?" Shen Shaofeng said half-jokingly.

While Shen Shaofeng and Le Huizhen were chatting at the hospital, in a certain department of the province known for its gluttonous people...

The meeting room curtains were half-drawn, and seven or eight people were sitting at the oval conference table, most of them wearing white or light blue short-sleeved shirts.

Some of the insignia on their shoulder straps indicated that the people present were of high rank.

The man sitting in the main seat was a man in his fifties with a refined appearance; he was a department head.

To his left was a middle-aged man with a sharp look and dark skin, dressed in casual clothes, who seemed out of place with his surroundings.

This person was none other than the alias "Big Circle Leopard," a member of the Shi Detachment who had just returned from a special mission in Hong Kong.

"Everyone's here, let's start the meeting."

The director said in a calm tone: "First of all, welcome back to the Shi Detachment. You've worked hard."

The people present nodded to Captain Shi, and he responded with a slight nod.

The director continued, "The Shi Detachment was ordered to go to Hong Kong this time, and under the guise of 'Big Circle Leopard,' conducted a months-long on-site investigation into the current social security situation on Hong Kong Island, especially the power of triads. Now, let's have Detachment Leader Shi introduce the basic situation."

Captain Shi opened his notebook and, without any pleasantries, went straight to the point: "Leaders, comrades. The current security situation on Hong Kong Island can be summarized in one sentence: outwardly prosperous, but with turbulent undercurrents at the grassroots level. Triad organizations are deeply entrenched and difficult to control, posing a substantial threat to people's livelihoods and the economy, and sowing the seeds of future problems—"

He paused, then continued, "The traditional five major triads—Lao Wan, Wo Luen Shing, Sun Kee, Hung Hing, and Tung Ying—still occupy the main territories and hold onto their side businesses."

"The old smuggling operation has the deepest roots in Hong Kong Island; they monopolize half of Hong Kong Island's maritime smuggling channels."

"Wo Luen Shing has been plagued by internal strife in recent years, but even a weakened giant is still a force to be reckoned with; they wield considerable influence in parts of Kowloon and the New Territories."

"The Sun Kee operates relatively openly and wields considerable influence in the Tsim Sha Tsui, Yau Ma Tei, Mong Kok, and Causeway Bay areas."

"However," Shi Zhidui then changed the subject, "Xu Yan, the head of the New Bureau, and his younger brothers, Xu Qiang and Xu Sheng, I've heard they've been doing quite well in the film company business in recent years—"

One of the leaders immediately understood: "Old Shi, you mean Xinji might be undergoing a transformation, and we could try to recruit them?"
