"Mr. Governor, things are a bit troublesome. Lei Weidong seems to know that we are going to amend the Police Regulations." The Deputy Commissioner of Police came to the Government House wearing a suit and tie and bowed to the Governor. salute:
"He submitted a promotion report and gave promotions to his staff and friends with a huge appetite, hundreds of them."
"It's normal for Lei Weidong to know. I've become a sieve here. The topic of discussion has not been decided yet, and everyone knows it outside." He received the document handed over by the Deputy Commissioner of Police through the Secretary of the Governor of Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong Governor looked at it carefully and shook his head, "As expected of Lei Weidong, he has an astonishing appetite. If this issue is passed, even if we pass the Police Regulations, we will not be able to affect it within a few years. Does Cao Dahua agree? ?”
"Cao Dahua agreed. After Lei Weidong submitted the report, Cao Dahua convened a high-level meeting. At the meeting, Cao Dahua ignored our objections and used the power of veto to force the passage of the resolution."
Hearing the Hong Kong Governor ask about Cao Tat-wah, the deputy director complained to him.
Cao Dahua's ability to become the director was the result of mutual compromise between Yingguo and Mainland. He was a transitional figure. He would have to step aside after serving for one term at most.
Unexpectedly, Cao Dahua got the support of Lei Weidong and could be impartial and satisfy all parties without involving Lei Weidong. Once Lei Weidong was involved, it would be the same and he would help him out.
"If Cao Dahua is so ignorant, aren't you afraid that we will replace him?" The Hong Kong Governor was a little puzzled when he heard that Cao Dahua forcibly passed Lei Weidong's proposal.
"Governor of Hong Kong, you don't know that Lei Weidong likes to throw money at people, and this is especially true for the director, so that no one can catch him. Just like Director Han a few years ago.
With the help of Lei Weidong, he not only made a lot of money but also became a writer. With this reputation, he became a member of the House of Commons of his ancestral family. It can be said that he was prosperous.
In the case of Director Han, Cao Dahua would definitely spare no effort to help Lei Weidong. After all, he also knew that he could only serve as director for one term. In order to maintain a wealthy life after retirement, he had to have a good relationship with Lei Weidong. is required. "
Deputy Director Lei Weidong also felt powerless. He never imagined that the teenage boy who went to study in Eagle Country would now grow up to the point where even the Hong Kong Governor had a headache.
If I had known that today, when the police force was attacked, Lei Weidong would be attacked. Even if he was not kicked out of the police force, he would be benched.
At the very least, Lei Weidong cannot be sent to study abroad in Eagle Country.
If it weren't for the training he received in his ancestral home and his meritorious service, Lei Weidong would not have been promoted so quickly after returning to Xiangjiang. He jumped from inspector to superintendent in just a few years.
By the time the superiors knew that he and the Zu family were not of the same mind and wanted to suppress him, it was already too late. Lei Weidong had become powerful and could not suppress him even if he wanted to.
"Even if Cao Dahua has a veto power, if all of you oppose it, Lei Weidong's proposal will not pass. How can we let them?"
Thanks to decades of placement.
Even if there are strong men like Lei Weidong, most of the senior police officers, especially the division chiefs, are still ghosts. There is one division chief, two deputy division chiefs, four senior handling division chiefs, and 14 assistant division chiefs. long.
Among the total of 21 senior executives, apart from Cao Dahua, there are only three Chinese, Lei Weidong, Uncle Biao and Lin Meng.
Among them, Lei Weidong is the senior assistant director, and Uncle Biao and Lin Meng are both assistant directors.
Fortunately, Uncle Biao manages the West Kowloon Police Station, which can be said to be powerful and powerful.
Lin Meng couldn't do it. Although he sat on the throne of Assistant Director, he was transferred from front-line leadership to personnel by Gui Lao, and became the principal of the police school, becoming a marginalized figure.
Although Lin Meng also has a background, otherwise he would not have reached the position of deputy director when he was in his thirties and not yet forty. Even Uncle Biao, who was much older than him, had to be his deputy.
But having a backer can only help Lin Meng reach a high position in the police force. When he reaches a high-level position like a divisional level, whether he can go further depends on Lin Meng's own abilities.
The background is no longer useful at this time, no matter how powerful it is, it can't defeat the Eagle Country people.
In this case, even if Cao Tat-wah uses his veto power, the Hong Kong Governor does not think Lei Weidong's proposal can be passed.
"It's the Independent Commission Against Corruption."
Deputy Director Gui Lao shook his head and sighed, "Just when we were arguing with Cao Dahua and forcing him to push back the proposal, people from the Independent Commission Against Corruption came, led by Han Zhibang.
On the pretext that the source of the huge wealth was unknown and the living standard was not in line with the income, two senior processing directors and five assistant directors, including the Director of the Personnel and Training Division and the Director of the Criminal and Security Division, were taken away.
This immediately blinded us.
You also know that if there is a real competition, everyone's buttocks will be dirty. If we fight, maybe we will all be taken down. In that case, the police force will fall into Lei Weidong's hands.
"The Independent Commission Against Corruption would attack these people, William doesn't want to do it anymore." Hearing the intervention of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the Hong Kong Governor was really angry.
This is a department directly under your own. It is another knife besides the police force. It is used to control the police force and government departments. Although it only targets the middle and lower class Chinese, its deterrence is very high. Why is this knife slashing at the eagle today? Chinese.
Thinking of this, the Governor of Hong Kong immediately ordered his secretary and the head of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Sir William, to contact him and ask him to report to the Government House immediately.
But before the secretary took out the phone to make a call, he saw someone pushing open the office door and coming to the Hong Kong Governor's secretary and whispering a few words.
"What's the matter?" Seeing someone coming in without saying hello, the Governor's expression was very unapproving.
"Sir William from the Independent Commission Against Corruption is here. He is waiting for your summons outside." The Hong Kong Governor's secretary reported in a low voice.
"If he still has the nerve to come over, tell him to get out of here right away." He said that Cao Cao and Cao Chao were about to arrive. When he heard that Sir William, who had broken something big, had arrived, the expression on the governor's face was very wonderful.
"Governor!"
Soon, Sir William walked in accompanied by the staff of the Hong Kong Governor's Office. Seeing that the Hong Kong Governor and Deputy Director Gui Lao were there, he came over to say hello to the two.
"Why do you have the nerve to come here and let the Independent Commission Against Corruption be dispatched? Don't you know? You can deal with officials at the lower and middle levels of government departments as you like. Only those above the level of Chief Superintendent of Police must have my approval."
Seeing Sir William's helpless look, the Hong Kong Governor became angry, "You are far worse than your predecessors. Back then, they killed the money empire and changed our image in the eyes of the Chinese.
Why, the Independent Commission Against Corruption's wings have become stiff, and it wants to fly solo, just like Lei Le back then, and even the master doesn't care about it. "
"Governor, I'm here to say goodbye. The ICAC's actions today were not ordered by me. I was taken for questioning by the West Kowloon Police Station early in the morning. I only found out what happened after I returned to the ICAC."
Sir William lowered his head and explained, "I came over immediately after I got the news."
"The West Kowloon Police Station arrested you. In what name did the police dare to arrest the top official of the Independent Commission Against Corruption?" the Hong Kong Governor asked.
"It was some mistakes I made when I was young. Unexpectedly, the police caught me and took me there for investigation."
Xiangjiang is a colony, and the people of Yingguo can be said to be the masters of Xiangjiang.
The most typical example is in the era of the money empire, when Lei Le took Lai Hao to talk eloquently on the rooftop while looking at the scenery of Xiangjiang River, he clearly said,
"Lame Hao can kill anyone, including Lei Le, if he blocks his way, but he can't kill people from the Eagle Country. If he kills him, no one can protect him, not even Lei Le. Tough luck.”
Lai Hao agreed with what Lei Le said.
He will do the same thing in the future. Whether he is fighting for land or selling washing powder, he will only cheat the Chinese people, and the people of Eagle Country are the objects of their filial piety.
Even people like Lai Hao and Lei Le have to be polite to the people of the Eagle Country, let alone the ordinary people below. They can only swallow their anger when faced with the bullying from the people of the Eagle Country.
Just like the Eagle Army station, those idle and bored Eagle Army soldiers often come out to have fun, let alone bully and dominate the market. Even XX does not know how many times they have committed this crime.
The reason why Chen Zhichao of Three Flags was able to surpass Lei Le and become the first-generation police tycoon was because he settled the case of the Yingjun XX village girl that no one could do anything about.
At that time, Detective Liu Fu was in charge of the case, but when he couldn't figure it out, he handed it over to Chen Zhichao, who was originally framed.
Unexpectedly, Chen Zhichao not only stayed calm during the crisis, but also secretly captured the Eagle Army soldiers, lied in front of the villagers that this was the leader's intention, and gave the "credit" to Liu Fu.
Then, when the Eagle Army chief came to besiege him, he sent someone to pretend to be an international reporter to take pictures on the mountain. This scared the other party and easily completed the task.
As a result, he gained a reputation in the police circles and quickly climbed to the position of detective.
Even ordinary soldiers of the Eagle Country break the law, let alone nobles like Sir William. They just do whatever they want in Xiangjiang. They thought they could reach 97, but they didn't expect Lei Weidong to attack them so quickly. .
"Now that I have captured you, why did I let you go? Did I make a deal?" Sir William's butt is not clean. The Governor of Hong Kong knows this very well. Since everyone has broken their skin, they should pursue the victory, so how can they let him back? .
"Lei Weidong asked me to leave Xiangjiang. If I leave, he will give me 10 million. If I don't leave, my scandal will be published in the newspapers.
In that case, not only would I be unable to hold my position in the Independent Commission Against Corruption, but I would also be ruined and even imprisoned. Sir William said very distressedly.
Lei Weidong doesn't want to let Sir William go, because his crime is very serious. If he is shot according to mainland laws, it will be light. However, as a nobleman of the Eagle Kingdom, it is difficult to get a sentence in Xiangjiang. At best, the matter will be reported to the police. Come out, have his reputation disgraced, and then go to jail for a few months.
There is no way, the laws in Xiangjiang are like this, especially when the justices are all from the Eagle Country, it is too difficult to get them to impose heavy sentences on their compatriots. It is better to take a step back and get what you need.
"Where are those who were taken away, are they all taken away?" The Hong Kong Governor knew that Lei Weidong's words were not a threat. As the owner of Asia Television and the major shareholder of TVB TV Station.
It was too easy for Lei Weidong to report Sir William's scandal, and even the governor's order could not stop him.
"Lei Weidong said that for those who think they have committed crimes, it would be the greatest mercy not to send them to prison. They can be let go, but they must leave Xiangjiang.
Moreover, Lei Weidong wanted half of the positions they left, two senior assistant division directors and two assistant division directors. "The reason why Sir William Fang came out was to ask him to give a message to the Hong Kong Governor.
Although Hong Kong will return in a few years, it is still a colony of the Eagles. We must show respect to the Governor of Hong Kong, not too much, and we must not have the idea of killing the Governor of Hong Kong at every turn.
This is against the rules.
If you do it, not only the people of the Eagle Country will go crazy, but even the mainland will be dissatisfied.
"No, Lei Weidong has too much appetite. Two senior assistant division chiefs and two assistant division chiefs. If we give them to Lei Weidong, our advantage in the top ranks of the police force will be gone."
The Hong Kong Governor said nothing about Lei Weidong's request. Deputy Director Gui Lao jumped out first, "There are only four senior assistant directors in the police force. If Lei Weidong is given two, he will have three.
Coupled with the positions of Assistant Director and Chief Superintendent, Lei Weidong directly eliminated us. "
"But it won't work if you don't agree. If you don't agree to Lei Weidong, you will attack those colleagues, and the evidence in his hand is not only this. Including you, Lei Weidong has a handle. If it is thrown out, Even you can’t protect me.”
Looking at the deputy director Gui Lao jumping around, Sir William dropped a bomb.
"That's nonsense. How can I have anything in Lei Weidong's hands? I have always abided by the law. Lei Weidong framed me." Deputy Director Gui Lao said in a lower voice because he knew that he could not withstand the investigation at all.
I have made a lot of money in Xiangjiang over the years, even if it is not more than 100 million, I still have some money. With so much money and that small salary, I can't even satisfy my daily life.
Deputy Director Gui Lao knows how fast his wife spends her money. She travels to Europe one after another and buys expensive clothes and jewelry. Not to mention himself, even the salary of the Hong Kong Governor is not enough.
"You guys!"
Looking at the deputy director Gui Lao who lowered his head, the Hong Kong Governor shook his head slightly.
He knew that Lei Weidong had succeeded in counterattacking this time. Before he took action against him, he attacked the ghost gang in the police force first. What made the Hong Kong Governor even more angry was that Lei Weidong was very measured in his actions.
He only touched the senior processing director who was at the same level as him and did not touch the deputy director, so he saved face.
"Two assistant director positions can be given to him, but only one of the senior assistant director positions can be given to him. The other one must be kept no matter what. Even if it cannot be kept, it cannot fall into Lei Weidong's hands."
"Mr. Governor, will you continue to issue notices on the "Regulations Amendment"?" the Secretary of the Hong Kong Governor stepped forward and asked.
"Send it. Since Lei Weidong has taken action, we would be too weak if we didn't." The Hong Kong Governor nodded and said, "Let's solicit opinions from the citizens."
"Yes, sir." The Hong Kong Governor's secretary nodded and exited the office with the documents in his hand.
Although soliciting opinions from citizens is actually just a formality, just like inviting citizen representatives to participate in price increase discussions in previous lives, it was just a show.
Regardless of the opposition of citizen representatives, price increases are necessary.
Unless public sentiments are aroused and riots like the Star Ferry incident occur, the Hong Kong government will not give in under any circumstances.
