Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 1251 Hunter and Prey

“I am Chief Superintendent Chan Wing-yan of the Criminal Intelligence Bureau. You are completely surrounded, and resistance is futile. Now, lay down your weapons and surrender—this is your only chance.”

His gaze was sharp as he looked at the people in black combat uniforms, his eyes filled with icy coldness.

Tonight, the roles of hunter and prey have quietly been reversed in the silence.

When Zeng Xiangrong heard the word "retreat," he realized something was wrong. Just as he was about to start the vehicle and leave, the other door was suddenly opened, and Hua Sheng got into the vehicle and sat down.

"Inspector Zeng, it's so late, why aren't you home resting?"

Looking at Watson sitting next to him, Zeng Xiangrong stiffened for a moment, then said with a forced smile, "I was just about to go back. Where are you going, Mr. Watson? I'll drive you there."

Watson turned his head, glanced at Zeng Xiangrong, and grinned, saying, "If you lose, you have to admit it, Zeng Sir. After suffering so many losses, you don't think I was completely unprepared, do you?"

"Besides, you're not planning to shoulder everything alone, are you? If so, I have to admire you."

"By the way, have you ever considered this possibility... that Li Yonglian wants you to take the blame for everything, haha!"

Zeng Xiangrong clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and said nothing.

Watson didn't mind and just quietly looked at the police station building not far away from inside the car.

Zeng Xiangrong's hands remained clenched tightly, but after a moment, they slowly relaxed. He leaned back, staring blankly at the starry sky outside, unsure of what his fate would be.

But he doesn't want to, and won't, shoulder everything alone.

......

On the other side, Wong Bing-yiu arrived at the Governor's Palace with a large number of police superintendents in white uniforms and countless police officers.

MacLehose was old and had light sleep, making it difficult for him to fall asleep. He had only just drifted off when there was a knock on his bedroom door.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency..."

MacLehose was woken up, glanced at the time, threw the clock from the bedside table at the door, slammed it down, and cursed, "Shit, do you know what time it is?"

The person outside was startled, but still said, "Your Excellency, there are many police officers outside, and Commissioner of Police Huang Bingyao is also here."

Upon hearing this, Mak Lai-ho froze, muttering curses as he got up in his pajamas and went to open the door.

"what happened?"

The assistant shook his head slightly: "Director Huang didn't say. He only said that he had to see Your Excellency the Governor, as it was important." After a pause, he continued: "Several hundred police officers have arrived outside, many of whom are superintendents in white uniforms."

MacLehose frowned: "Let him wait."

As he spoke, he wanted to close the door and go back to sleep, intending to expose Huang Bingyao and his group to the world. So what if they outnumbered him? He didn't care; he didn't believe they would dare to rebel.

The assistant whispered, "Your Excellency, Huang Bingyao said that if he doesn't see you within five minutes, he's going to bring his men in."

"Fuck, what does he want to do?" MacLehose shouted in shock and anger.

The assistant kept his head down and didn't speak. He was also frightened by Huang Bingyao. At first, he thought the other party was just talking, but when he saw the other party's determined eyes, he panicked, so he ran to wake up the governor.

MacLehose took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said, "Tell him to wait a moment, I'll change my clothes and come over."

"Yes, Your Excellency!" The assistant bowed his head and withdrew.

A few minutes later, MacLehose walked out of the bedroom with a gloomy face. Then he saw police officers standing in various places around the Governor's House, as if this was not the Governor's House, but the police department.

This made MacLehose's mood sink; he knew in his heart that tonight's events were serious.

Police officers actually broke into the Governor's House and took control of the entire building.

To put it bluntly, this is no different from rebellion.

However, Murray MacLehose was, after all, the Governor, and had been the Emperor of Hong Kong for so many years; this kind of scene couldn't scare him.

Walking through the corridor into the living room, I saw Huang Bingyao standing in the center of the hall, his hands behind his back, looking at the British flag not far away. He was also holding some documents and slowly tapping his backside, showing no respect whatsoever.

"Huang Bingyao, what do you want to do?"

MacLehose took the initiative and, even at this point, remained confident and fearless.

Huang Bingyao slowly turned around, stared at MacLehose for a few seconds, and handed over the documents in his hand.

"The evidence is conclusive that the Secretary for Justice, Lai Wing-lim, colluded with terrorists and caused a terrorist attack. Commissioner of Police, Wong Ping-yiu, hereby applies for his arrest!"

After hearing this, MacLehose paused for a moment, then shouted angrily, "Fuck, impossible! Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do. No matter what Li Yonglian has done, we can't touch him now."

Not long ago, Chief Secretary for Administration Philip was convicted and arrested. If the Secretary for Justice Raymond Lai is arrested at this time, how will the outside world view the Hong Kong Island government?

If two of the three Secretaries are in trouble, does that mean the entire ruling class of Hong Kong is corrupt? At that point, how will the British view Hong Kong?

At that point, it won't just be Hong Kong that loses face, but the entire United Kingdom as well.

Therefore, no matter what Lai Wing-lim did, MacLehose would not allow the police to arrest him.

Philip's downfall has already tarnished MacLehose's political career. If Lai Wing-lim is added to the mix, then MacLehose can forget about a peaceful retirement.

He didn't want to ruin his reputation at the very end.

Huang Bingyao didn't care about MacLehose's reaction, because these reactions were all within his expectations. He grinned and said, "Your Excellency, at this point, you can't just oppose it whenever you want."

“I have already released the evidence of Lai Wing-lim’s crimes to all newspapers. The relevant information about this matter has been published in all newspapers on Hong Kong Island. As soon as it gets light, this news will spread throughout Hong Kong Island. At that time, you will not be able to cover it up as you wish.”

As he spoke, he glanced at his watch and shrugged, "There's not much time left."

"Fuck, what do you want to do?" MacLehose shouted angrily.

Wong Bing-yiu's smile vanished: "What do I want to do? I just said that the Secretary for Justice, Lai Wing-lim, has conclusive evidence of a crime, and I have applied for his arrest."

"By the way, whether you agree or not, my men have already gone to make the arrest. Now, it's up to you to choose."

After speaking, Huang Bingyao looked at MacLehose with a half-smile, waiting for the other party to make a decision.
