"The car is not difficult to drive, it is a fast train, the road is not difficult to walk, and we are taking the Sunshine Avenue." Chen Jingci stretched out her palm, took hold of Sir Zhuang's hand, then covered it with another palm and shook hands firmly. He looked very excited.
Chen Jingci, Chief Investigation Director of ICAC!
ICAC, the first person under the ICAC Commissioner, has worked for the ICAC for more than ten years. He is the first batch of Chinese investigators to join the ICAC and is currently the head of the Chinese investigators of ICAC!
He had been an agent under Yan Guoliang when he was the first anti-corruption commissioner. However, his reputation was not well known at that time and he was lost in the public eye. He never had direct confrontation with Zhuang Shikai.
There is no hatred or festival between the two, it is all a matter of stance.
Position is another thing that can be changed...
So Chen Jingci secretly came to the Peninsula Hotel to meet with Sir Zhuang, and in a very low profile, making it clear that he was here to meet the big boss!
And Sir Zhuang also has his own purpose...
"Hahaha, Sir Chen said it well!"
"In just one sentence, he expressed his full righteousness. He is worthy of being the leader of Chinese people in ICAC. He is full of energy!"
"Come!"
"Please sit down!" At this moment, Zhuang Shikai laughed heartily, holding the wine glass, and raised his hand to point to the sofa next to him.
"Sir Zhuang is overly praised."
"I just want to do something for the Chinese people in Hong Kong." Chen Jingci turned around and sat down on the sofa. He put the wine glass on the table and answered in a serious and cautious tone.
Zhuang Shikai also sat on the sofa next to him, lowered his wine glass, leaned his arm on the armrest, and sighed: "Sure enough, Hong Kong Island is still a Chinese Hong Kong Island. Only Chinese people can only think about doing things for Hong Kong Island."
"I invite you to come and meet today..."
"What we are talking about is very important." Zhuang Shikai paused, opened his eyes wide, raised his eyelids, and asked with piercing eyes: "First of all, I want to ask, do you have any objection to my behavior?"
"be honest."
He rarely uses the word "important" to describe events when chatting. Once he uses these two words to get straight to the point, it not only shows the seriousness of the situation, but also his honesty.
Since Mr. Zhuang chats with the other party very frankly, he also hopes that the other party can answer honestly.
Chen Jingci understood the meaning of Mr. Zhuang's words.
He laughed twice and said bluntly: "Sir Zhuang, if I have a problem with you, in my capacity, would I still sit here and chat with you?"
"You are the leader of the police force, and I am the chief investigator of the ICAC. You are not the same person, right?"
"But..." Chen Jingci drew out his voice and said in a solemn tone: "I only deal with things, not people. When you were the four major detectives, haha, you did so many things, and I risked being shot by the police. It’s risky, I’ll still bring someone to check you.”
"Now you are the spokesperson of the Chinese police force, the deputy director of the police force, and a member of the return committee."
"He is the leader responsible for the return of Hong Kong Island and coordinating the Chinese political circles."
"Then I risk being shot by the anti-corruption commissioner, but I still dare to bring people to support you!"
Chen Jingci was wearing a black suit, clasped her fingers on the armrest of the sofa, moved forward slightly, and said with great force: "Because I know you were wrong back then! You are right now!"
"Only when all Chinese people in Hong Kong unite to defend the interests of Hong Kong Island and welcome the return of the motherland... can the five million citizens of Hong Kong Island usher in new blessings and live a life with dignity and security."
Chen Jingci stared at Zhuang Shikai.
Zhuang Shikai nodded heavily: "I believe you, and I appreciate you too!"
In fact, it was a rare gesture for Chen Jingci to come to the Peninsula Hotel to meet him.
Once such a private meeting is made public, it will be enough to ruin Chen Jingci's career at ICAC. If it is made public in the afternoon, he will be suspended in the evening.
These words are Chen Jingci’s monologue on his own political philosophy.
You know, Chen Jingci was on the bench during the police integrity conflict, and her back is still injured... If we don't explain our political philosophy, we will have grudges with each other, so it's better to be honest and clear.
"So, now that there is a problem with ICAC, you should take action against ICAC." Zhuang Shikai continued: "Integrity Commissioner Henry is suspected of colluding with British spies. First, he provided illegal assistance to spy businessman Norman, and second, Henry may have accepted Norman's business Bribery.”
"Do you think an anti-corruption commissioner who has accepted illegal bribes is still worthy of the position of anti-corruption commissioner?"
"Will such an anti-corruption commissioner bring a clean environment to Hong Kong Island, or will it bring greater hidden dangers to Hong Kong Island?"
"You have no right to investigate the Commissioner of Integrity, but our Commercial Crime Division can investigate commercial crimes, and the Criminal Division can investigate criminal cases. We can definitely find out his problems, and then disclose the crimes to the public and force Henry to step down. You only need to lead the Chinese at ICAC The Investigation Division will respond.”
"And you!" Zhuang Shikai raised his hand and pointed at Chen Jingci: "You will be ICAC's next Integrity Commissioner, and we Chinese will be our first Integrity Commissioner."
"What do you think of this plan?"
When the Independent Commission Against Corruption no longer cooperates and even goes against the grain, it uses the power of the Chinese political arena and its status as a committee member to support a Chinese-owned anti-corruption commissioner!
This is Zhuang Shikai's plan!
The last time I took off the signboard was just a demonstration move.
Get rid of the integrity commissioner.
Help the Chinese people build up their own anti-corruption commissioner.
This is the real sign-picking! I want to help a Chinese commissioner!
"It's undeniably attractive."
Chen Jingci stood up, straightened her buttons, and took a deep breath.
"That's assuming Commissioner Henry actually accepted bribes."
Chen Jingci reiterated the principle.
However, Zhuang Shikai stood up holding on to the armrest, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "The evidence investigated by the CCB can be submitted to the ICAC afterwards, and you can lead the ICAC for review."
"Come to me if you have any questions." Zhuang Shikai pointed at himself, looking upright on the surface, but sneered in his heart: "When the time comes, it will be useless for you to come to me."
Zhuang Shikai was able to call Chen Jingci to the Peninsula Hotel based on two pieces of information: one was that the anti-corruption commissioner "Henry" had accepted bribes, and the other was that he promoted his position as the anti-corruption commissioner.
Which of these two pieces of information he values more is not important to Mr. Zhuang. Because Mr. Zhuang will give him both things, he just needs to obey and do things obediently.
"By the way, the Chinese guys at ICAC, did you have any objection to me picking up the signboard that day?" Zhuang Shikai picked up the champagne glass and suddenly asked with a smile.
Chen Jingci bent down and picked up the wine glass, shaking his head: "No one knows what happened, and it's hard to say whether they have any objections. When Henry is found guilty of accepting bribes, no one will have any objections."
"Well."
"Cheers, Commissioner Chen."
Zhuang Sheng raised his glass.
"cheers."
"Director." Chen Jingci raised his glass and said.
"Ding!" The two of them clinked their glasses together, a crisp sound rang out from the walls of the glasses, and the room was unusually quiet.
Immediately, the two of them drank a glass of champagne with their heads held high. Zhuang Shikai turned back and handed the empty glass to Cai Yuanqi. Cai Yuanqi also took the initiative to take the glass from Chen Jingci's hand, giving Chen Jingci an extra respect.
Then, Zhuang Shikai took two steps forward and stared at Chen Jingci for a moment, which made Chen Jingci feel scared.
He suddenly laughed, raised his hand to help Chen Jingci tighten his tie, and laughed out loud: "I like your tie very much."
Today, Chen Jingci is wearing a red tie.
He is the only one among all the officials wearing a red tie. The other one is Mr. Zhuang, both of whom are wearing the same style.
Chen Jingci smiled: "I also want to be patriotic."
Both of them had already discovered this detail.
"Let's go." Zhuang Shikai patted Chen Jingci on the shoulder, raised his hand to sweep the hem of his suit, and pushed Cai Yuanqi out of the box. As long as things are settled, we can't leave the banquet next door for too long. After all, it is the banquet where we meet for the first time.
Chen Jingci, escorted by a group of police security guards, first left the box through the small door, then followed the safe passage to the basement, and was sent away by a special car.
"Mr. Governor."
"The police force has gone too far."
Hong Kong Governor's Office.
study.
Melis was sitting on the sofa, crossing his legs and holding a cup of coffee in his hand.
He lowered his head with gray temples, exhaled slowly to disperse the hot coffee, and listened to the Commissioner's speech with a calm expression.
"This time, the police directly investigated and dealt with more than 30 Chinese officials, including British businessman Norman, in the name of commercial investigation."
"You must know that there are not many commercial assets under the names of more than 30 Chinese officials. Most of them are invested in the form of agency holdings and indirect holdings. If there is an investigation, it should be investigated by the Independent Commission Against Corruption in the name of anti-corruption." Henry half-bowed He stood up and said in a hateful tone: "The police force has crossed the line!"
"In addition, I suspect that some of the evidence in it is fabricated. The purpose is to eliminate dissidents." Henry added.
In fact, Henry had no friendship or interest with Norman and more than 30 Chinese officials.
As the anti-corruption commissioner, he has never embezzled a penny on Hong Kong Island! Because Gui Lao also knows that the anti-corruption commissioner has the mission of being an anti-corruption commissioner and will not send anyone who is greedy for money to the post. Maybe Henry also received a lot of bribes when working for other colonial governments, but after he came to Hong Kong Island, he behaved very upright.
He is simply speaking out for the Independent Commission Against Corruption! After all, Zhuang Shikai's move of taking down the ICAC door sign severely damaged Commissioner Yilan Guilao's prestige. If he didn't do something, I'm afraid everyone within the ICAC would have a change of heart.
However, Melis' expression remained unchanged and he listened quietly to Commissioner Henry's speech.
Ghost businessmen and spy businessmen like Norman.
In fact, the Hong Kong Governor's Government has cultivated a lot. It not only recruits people in the political circles, but also carries out activities in the business circles, the press, the cultural circles, and all walks of life.
So far, the results are pretty good, at least the investment will pay off. Losing a Norman and more than 30 Chinese minor officials? Is this considered a loss?
What's more, after Zhuang Shikai became a member of the Chinese Return Committee, he foresaw that the Chinese political circles would be dealt with with an iron fist. That was Zhuang Shikai's style of doing things. It's so fast and reasonable.
"You want to investigate the Chinese police force? Aren't you afraid of another police integrity conflict?" Melis swallowed his hot coffee, looked at Henry and asked: "There were photos of Yan Guoliang's body back then. I think you have seen it too. "
"I personally do not support your investigation into the police force."
What a lesson for the past!
"I won't die!" Henry raised his chest and raised his head, laughing coldly.
Melis immediately showed interest, put the coffee cup in his hand firmly on the table, and asked with interest: "Sir Henry, tell me what you think!"
If you can, a sword that is ready to be used. Why not swing it out?
