Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 1212 Former Assistant Director Lawrence

When these old men were brought aboard the main ship, Lawrence, who had previously served as Assistant Commissioner of Police, recognized Chen Yongren, who was standing at the head of the group, immediately.

Although he has retired, he still has many friends in the police force. For one thing, he knows about the heads of the major departments in the police force through various channels.

He knew Watson very well, as he was a trusted confidant of the Deputy Commissioner of Operations and the commander of the Criminal Intelligence Division.

In this world, being out of touch means falling behind...

"Inspector Chen, Inspector Chen..."

Chen Yongren heard the shouts, glanced at them, but did not react at all.

Lawrence called out anxiously, "Inspector Chen, I'm the former Assistant Director. Can we talk for a bit?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yongren glanced at the other person and waved.

The police officers escorting Lawrence immediately brought him over.

Upon meeting him, Lawrence immediately smiled obsequiously and said, "Inspector Chen, I am Lawrence, the former Assistant Commissioner. I am very familiar with Commissioner Huang. Although we don't know each other personally, we are all on the same side!"

Chen Yongren's face remained expressionless as he quietly stared at the other person.

Lawrence swallowed hard and continued, "When I met Old Wong, he wasn't the commissioner yet; he was the commissioner of the West Kowloon Regional Police Station. Later, I reached retirement age and had to retire. At that time, you were all still working at the West Kowloon Police Station. I had heard of you."

"We're all on the same side, can you give me some face? We haven't done anything wrong, we're just having some fun here..."

Chen Yongren scoffed, "You're really naive. You don't actually think nobody knows you've joined the Z Foundation, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Lawrence's expression immediately changed, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Inspector Chen, I don't know what you're talking about, what Z Foundation."

Chen Yongren said coldly and impatiently, "Alright, since you used to work in the police force, I'll give you a chance. Go to the police station and tell me everything you know, including everything Philip and the other members did. Then I'll consider it a confession."

"This is for yourself. Whether you say it or not is up to you, but you'll have to bear the consequences!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the escorting police officers took Lawrence back directly.

"Inspector Chen, Inspector Chen..."

However, Chen Yongren did not react at all. There were too many people arrested this time, and it was impossible to keep it a secret. Moreover, with so many people, he did not believe that no one would speak up. As long as one person spoke up, the entire defense line would collapse.

At the same time, police officers appeared in various locations on Hong Kong Island, arresting members of the Z Foundation.

Many of these people are seniors of the current leaders of the Three Departments and Thirteen Bureaus, and have received their help and guidance. Even if they haven't, their relationship with them is still quite good.

So when so many people were arrested together, their families started contacting their connections one after another, and the phones of the leaders of the Third Division and the Thirteenth Bureau were almost ringing off the hook.

And all of these people immediately started gathering information. Help was welcome, but it depended on the matter. No one in a leadership position was an idiot.

The phones of all the leaders in the police force rang, and they began to ask what was going on and why these retired senior officers were being arrested.

However, many of the people who received the call were completely bewildered, and finally said helplessly, "This must be an order from the police leadership. I don't know either. Why don't you ask the police leadership?"

Some people called the Commissioner of Police, Wong Bing-yiu, directly. This position has a lot of power, but the rank is relatively low, so some people contacted Wong Bing-yiu directly to ask what was going on.

When Huang Bingyao received the call, he was initially a little confused, but after thinking about it, he immediately realized that Hua Sheng was arresting people, and he immediately started to play cat and mouse with these people.

"Oh dear, I don't know anything about what you're talking about either. Let me ask and get back to you. How is it? This must have been done by one of my men. Okay, okay, I'll call you back once I have a clear understanding. Okay, bye."

Just as he hung up, the phone rang again. Huang Bingyao's lips twitched. He wanted to turn off the phone immediately, but he was worried that these people would cause trouble, so he could only answer it and start playing coy.

Meanwhile, the interrogation of Lawrence and others also began.

Sitting in the interrogation seat, Chen Yongren said coldly, "I've given you a chance. It's up to you whether you can seize it. Philip was arrested before you. Also, Luo Deyong, the accountant who did the books for the Z Foundation, has already confessed everything."

"Hu Zhiyong had already told everyone he knew before he died. Even though he is gone, his personally signed and sealed confession is still valid."

"Most importantly, Xu Huaijing, the chairman of Z Foundation, has already spoken up. I have to say you guys really know how to play the game. You kidnapped his family in an attempt to threaten him. Unfortunately for you, you were outmaneuvered. His family has already been rescued by us."

“We now have all the witnesses and evidence, otherwise we wouldn’t have arrested you. You must have noticed when we came that all the behind-the-scenes members of the Z Foundation have been arrested.”

"By the way, don't just sit idly by, Philip might come to your rescue, since he's in dire straits himself right now."

As he spoke, he clicked on the video, which showed footage of Philip in the interrogation room.

"So, are you going to tell me now?"

With each word Chen Yongren spoke, Lawrence's face paled a little more. By the time he finished speaking, his face was deathly pale, and cold sweat was pouring down his forehead.

Lawrence never imagined that the powerful Z Foundation, with members spread across the three departments and thirteen bureaus, would collapse like this.

Although he didn't know whether Chen Yongren was telling the truth or not, judging from the information he had just heard, it should be true.

At that moment, he really panicked, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Inspector Chen, I said yes, but I need to see Xu Huaijing and Luo Deyong's statements and the evidence they mentioned. As soon as I see it, I will speak immediately."

Chen Yongren stood up, picked up the documents, and said, "I prepared them a long time ago, but what I'm showing you now are just photocopies. I dare not give you the originals."

As he spoke, he handed over the photocopy.

Lawrence took it and immediately began to look through it. The more he looked, the paler his face became. Finally, he couldn't help but tremble and said in a trembling voice, "Could I have a cigarette?"

Chen Yongren took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, pulled one out and handed it to him, then lit it for him with a lighter.

Lawrence took a drag, lit his cigarette, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you!"
