Chapter 76: Two consecutive achievement rewards – Discharge from the hospital! (Second update, please subscribe)

"Oh, that's my second uncle. With his introduction, I joined the police force and also worked in the PPRB."

Liang Ziwei openly admitted that she was a "second-generation police officer".

"Also, if you don't mind, Mr. Shen, you can call me by my English name, Phoeni."

"I see. Sir Leung mentioned to me before that there was a very capable junior working at Police Report. So it was you, Phoeni. Nice to meet you."

Shen Shaofeng readily accepted good advice.

This is the future head of PPRB; addressing him in a more intimate way won't do me any harm.

"You're too kind, Mr. Shen. I should be thanking you for taking the time to cooperate with our work, especially since you're still recovering from your injury."

Liang Ziwei took a folder out of her handbag and opened it.

Inside were more than ten pages of handwritten manuscripts, with neat and beautiful handwriting.

Without further pleasantries, she immediately switched to work mode: "Sir Shen, we were originally supposed to wait until you were discharged from the hospital before officially starting filming. But the higher-ups want to strike while the iron is hot—"

"I came here today to discuss the script with you in advance and see if there are any things you should avoid."

Liang Ziwei placed the manuscript on her lap and took out a notebook to take notes.

Shen Shaofeng nodded: "I understand. We're all just trying to serve the citizens. I have nothing to hide."

He extended his palm, gesturing for me to speak: "Phoeni, you're the expert, please speak, I'll definitely cooperate fully."

"clear."

Liang Ziwei nodded slightly.

"Our initial concept for the program is to take your actions in Yuen Long as a starting point, highlighting the bravery and loyalty of frontline police officers and their determination to protect Hong Kong Island."

The interview will mainly focus on the following aspects:

Liang Ziwei briefly introduced the special program featuring Shen Shaofeng, who was hospitalized with injuries.

"—Of course, we will proactively avoid discussing specific operational details and confidential matters. Actually, if you don't mind, Inspector Shen, it would be best if we prepared all the questions and answers beforehand—"

She smiled at Shen Shaofeng, worried that the young inspector might misunderstand her good intentions.

After all, without prior preparation, ordinary police officers will find it difficult to perform well in front of the camera.

Sure enough, Shen Shaofeng gently shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, but I think that being more natural will make the event more effective."

Liang Ziwei raised her eyebrows, adopting an inquiring tone.

"Phoeni, I don't know if you've seen it, but there's an American talk show called '60 Minutes'."

utes》?

Since we're going to do this, we should do it big.

Otherwise, if we conduct interviews like this whether we're injured or injured, wouldn't all of Mr. Shen's injuries have been for nothing?

"Of course I've seen it; their investigative reports are very thorough. What Mr. Shen means is—"

Liang Ziwei looked thoughtful.

"Yes, I think that in-depth interviews, with more pointed questions and a live interview format, might be more moving than a prepared script."

"You mean, within a pre-set framework, engaging in a dialogue with a degree of improvisation?"

"Yes. Times have changed. I believe that what the audience wants to see more is a police officer who is flesh and blood, who gets nervous and scared, but who still bravely steps forward to protect the citizens of Hong Kong Island when facing ruthless criminals."

Shen Shaofeng shook his finger: "Instead of being a flawless, rigid, and monotonous dialogue machine."

The subtext is: Your previous interviews with police officers on "Police Report" were too serious and too fake.

Liang Ziwei unconsciously twirled the ballpoint pen rapidly with her right hand.

"Sir Shen, this places very high demands on the interviewee. If they don't perform well on the spot—"

Shen Shaofeng said in a deep voice, "Phoeni, you are a professional, and I believe you can control the pace. Moreover, appropriately showing my real thoughts and pressures as a frontline worker will actually evoke more empathy from the citizens."

Subtext: Don't worry, I'm confident in my acting skills.

Liang Ziwei nodded and quickly jotted down a few paragraphs in her notebook.

"I understand what you're thinking. However," she closed her notebook.

"Just in case, we'll still prepare a basic script. What do you think, Inspector Shen?"

"Very good, thank you for your hard work, Phoeni."

""

Liang Ziwei put away the documents, stood up, and took the initiative to shake hands with Shen Shaofeng: "Inspector Shen is not only good at handling cases, but also has great insights into public communication. It seems that I was overthinking it."

"You should get some rest. I need to report the details to my superiors. I won't bother you any longer."

She rose to take her leave, her steps light and quick, clearly excited by this new idea.

Five days later, this special episode of "Police Report" aired.

As it turned out, Shen Shaofeng's suggestion, his "professional skills" in acting, and Liang Ziwei's meticulous preparations created a great synergy.

This episode achieved better results than expected.

A tenement building in Sham Shui Po.

A housewife, while picking vegetables at a public sink, said to her neighbor, "Ah Fong, did you watch the police report last night? That Inspector Shen! Last time it was the Tsim Sha Tsui gangsters, this time he's fighting with international thugs. He's no less impressive than your idol, Chan Ka-kui!"

"Yes, I heard he grew up in an orphanage? He relied entirely on his own life, that's really not easy."

Kwun Tong, a tea stall.

Several taxi drivers, who were changing shifts in the early morning, were drinking tea and chatting.

"Char Siu Ming, did you hear that? If it weren't for Inspector Shen's bravery in leading the Zero Division men to kill those big thieves, who knows what would have happened..."

How many people died?

"Yeah, handsome Shen also said that he was actually very scared at the time, but he had to risk his life to maintain order. Sigh, he's much more reliable than those dead-face police officers who sit in their offices sighing in the air conditioning and just point fingers."

Central, a break room in an office building.

Two young female office workers were talking in hushed tones.

"Bobo, did you watch this week's Police Report? I thought the host was pretty good, and the questions were quite insightful. But that Inspector Shen was even more impressive; he answered fluently without trying to steal the credit. He had a different kind of presence."

"Yes, Inspector Shen could easily talk at length about how brave he is, but he never stops talking about his colleagues and the safety of the citizens. He's young, sensible, and has a bright future. I think I'm falling in love again—"

These past few days, Shen Shaofeng has spent a tremendous amount of time dealing with the various nurses who come to the ward under various pretexts, such as changing IV drips, changing water, changing bed sheets, changing curtains, checking patients' vital signs, checking room air conditioning, and checking room TVs.

It's no easier than catching thieves.

Of course, it was all worth it. Because, the day after the special program aired, he received a long-awaited system notification.

-

Show.

Moreover, it was two shots in a row!

[The system has detected that the host has established initial reputation locally, with over 30,000 real fans, unlocking the achievement "Powerful Sir"]

[Reward: Mid-level media influence reach]

[Host detected dismantling an international criminal syndicate for the first time, unlocking the achievement "Breaking Out of Asia"]

[Reward: Mastery of CQB Skills]

It was sunny on March 2.

The twelfth day of the first month of the lunar year Yi Hai, the day of Gui You.

Suitable for: traveling, assuming a new post.

Commander Yang Bier of B1-1, team member He Guozheng, along with deputy commander Wang Zhicong and team member Peng Yingqi from the neighboring squad, came to pick up Shen Shaofeng from the hospital as representatives.

Shen Shaofeng looked at his four colleagues and a genuine smile appeared on his face.

-

During his hospitalization, he kept in touch with his colleagues in the 0 team by phone, but a phone call is definitely not the same as meeting in person.

"Shaofeng, congratulations on being discharged from the hospital! You look great!"

He Guozheng was the first to step forward and punched Shen Shaofeng on the shoulder.

Wang Zhizong took the luggage bag from Shen Shaofeng's hand: "Boss, we've booked a private room at a restaurant. We'll treat you to a welcome-home dinner tonight."

Peng Yingqi excitedly chimed in, "Yes, I specifically asked my mom to buy me pomelo leaves to help sweep away bad luck!"

Shen Shaofeng laughed and said, "Yingqi, I'm not going to jail, there's no need to exaggerate like that, is there?"

Yang Bier had just finished her discharge procedures when she heard their conversation and couldn't help but laugh, saying, "It's nothing, it's just a kind gesture, there are no taboos."

The five of them chatted and laughed as they walked to the hospital parking lot.

As the car drove out of the hospital, He Guozheng said while turning the steering wheel, "Shaofeng, Abi specifically instructed that I take you home first to rest for a couple of days. There's no rush with work matters."

"Yes, boss," Peng Yingqi, sitting in the back row, chimed in, "The doctor also said that although you're recovering well, it's best to rest for a few more days."

Shen Shaofeng leaned back in the seat and stretched his neck. "After lying in the hospital for so many days, my bones are practically rusting. Let's go straight back to headquarters. There are some things I can't stop thinking about at home anyway, so it's better to go back and handle them. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

He Guozheng glanced at Yang Bier in the rearview mirror.

Bernice Yang gave a helpless smile that said, "I knew it would turn out like this," but she didn't insist any further.

Headquarters (0th Division), Group B, and the office area of ​​Squads 1-2.

Stepping over the fire pit and sweeping over the pomelo leaves, Shen Shaofeng, amidst a "warm" welcome from his many colleagues, returned to work mode.

Of course, he didn't forget to report to his superiors, including Chief Superintendent Lee Man-bun, Superintendent Chan Kwai, and Chief Inspector Man Hei-wah.

Several superiors were very pleased to see Shen Shaofeng recover and be discharged from the hospital, and naturally offered him much encouragement.

Back in the office area, Shen Shaofeng took the frozen mandarin duck milk tea handed to him by Peng Yingqi and casually took out a cigarette case from Wang Zhizong's jacket pocket.

"Bang!"

"Phew~"

After taking a sip of his chilled milk tea and exhaling a long-awaited smoke ring, Shen Shaofeng began to listen to the report.

Lin Yongtai, holding a file, said, "Boss, there's been a new development in Chen Yaoxing's case. They've replied from Macau."

"explain."

"The response from the Macau Judiciary Police was that they found no legal entry record for Chan Yiu-hing. However, they hinted that several cross-sea tunnels have been relatively active recently, and they cannot rule out the possibility that someone is using this method to cross the sea."

"Cross-sea tunnel" refers to a temporary safe route established by smugglers between two smuggling points.

After all, although Hong Kong Island is not far from the Pearl River Delta in a straight line, it is impossible for the marine police of both places to completely block the coastline.

"In addition, they mentioned that several new junket tables have recently opened in Macau, and their backgrounds seem to have some connection with Hong Kong Island. It cannot be ruled out that they are Sun Kee."

"Um."

Shen Shaofeng, with a cigarette between his fingers, nodded slightly.

The lending business around casinos in Macau has always been a battleground for various forces, and a common channel for money laundering and capital transfer.

There's a formidable guy called "Broken Tooth Koi," who was one of the phone number groups that split up from the Hong Kong Island branch. It's said that he has some collaborations with Sun Kee.

Peng Yingqi pulled out one of the thick stacks of documents from her desk and handed it to Shen Shaofeng: "Boss, this is what we've compiled these past few days as you instructed, regarding the recent developments of some of Xinji's related businesses."

17

"On the surface, the Hui Brothers' film company is the focus, but according to some scattered intelligence, they may also be transferring illicit funds through other channels —"

Shen Shaofeng took the document and quickly flipped through it. The document mentioned significant discrepancies between the budgets and actual expenditures of several recent films produced by the Hui Brothers.

It was also mentioned that the Xu family seemed to be in contact with several Southeast Asian producers to discuss co-productions, but the project details were vague.

He closed the file and suddenly asked, "In the Hui Brothers film 'The Great Ming War God,' the male lead is Long Wei, right?"

"Yes, boss. Dragon Guard has a big reputation and high salaries, making him one of the biggest expenses of that film."

Shen Shaofeng suddenly asked a question that caught everyone off guard: "Long Wei's private life is rather chaotic. Have any gossip magazines recently photographed him throwing a 'silver party' or something?"
