Chapter 3 Li Sir, is this how you offer a toast?
Cai Yuanqi's words surprised both Li Wenbin and Shen Shaofeng.
Lee Man-bun comes from a family of police officers. His father, Lee Shu-tong, was once the highest-ranking Chinese police superintendent. At the age of 33, he had already become the acting chief superintendent of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, and his future in the police force was very promising.
But when it comes to the current Commissioner of Police and the Special Branch, as well as top Hong Kong tycoons like Wong Ka-fai, he can't afford to take the blame for something of that caliber.
Shen Shaofeng knew that the Political Department would be officially disbanded in 1995, and was surprised that these bastards still had the energy to cause trouble at the end of 1994.
What is the underlying interest of Deputy Director (Operations) Cai Yuanqi in his dialogue with Li Wenbin?
Cai Yuanqi snapped his fingers outside, signaling the ambulance to leave.
The vehicle started and headed towards Kowloon Hospital.
Cai Yuanqi then slowly said, "I've heard that Brother Yi is serious this time, damn it, I don't want to see you die."
He paused here and looked at Shen Shaofeng.
Li Wenbin instantly understood Cai Yuanqi's meaning: "It's alright, Cai Sir, just say what you want to say. Shaofeng is one of us."
Shen Shaofeng timely feigned a deep sense of honor, followed by an act of "being at a loss" in the face of a superior of the deputy director's rank.
He was thinking to himself: "You might be on my side with Li Sir, but with Cai Yuanqi, well, that's just laughable."
Cai Yuanqi nodded: "That's right. He killed a suspect, so this case can't be avoided anymore."
After saying that, he handed a business card to Li Wenbin.
Li Wenbin took it and saw that it said "XXX Cigar" and had a phone number on it.
"The First Brother and the Political Department will probably intercept you at the hospital. You'd better find a place where even I can't find you to hide."
……
The ambulance drove onto a quiet side road in an industrial area.
Cai Yuanqi said to the driver, "Turn right at the next intersection and drive slowly."
Li Wenbin understood and gave Shen Shaofeng a wink.
Shen Shaofeng suddenly pulled open the rear door of the ambulance, and the two men jumped out of the moving ambulance without hesitation.
The two landed and rolled, dissipating the impact. The ambulance did not stop and turned into the intersection ahead and disappeared.
……
The ambulance stopped in front of Kowloon Hospital.
The car door opened, and Commissioner of Police Hui Wai-han, along with several Special Branch agents dressed in dark suits, were already waiting there.
Xu Huaihan glanced at the empty carriage and asked, "Peter (Cai Yuanqi), where is he?"
Cai Yuanqi stepped out of the car unhurriedly: "Inspector Xu, who did you say? I wasn't feeling well on the way, so I called an ambulance. Is there a problem?"
"Don't play dumb, where are Li Wenbin and his men?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know."
He smiled and said, "Inspector Xu, you just received an award from above, but don't think I'm really going to retire and give up my position like this."
After Cai Yuanqi finished speaking, he straightened his suit and turned to leave, leaving Xu Huaihan with a livid face.
……
The following afternoon, at a hotel in Kowloon Tong.
Li Wenbin was inspecting his sidearm.
Knock knock knock.
One long knock followed by two short knocks sounded. Li Wenbin cautiously peered through the peephole before opening the door.
"Boss, eat something first."
Shen Shaofeng took off his baseball cap and sunglasses.
Li Wenbin didn't stand on ceremony and picked up the pineapple bun and milk tea to eat and drink heartily.
"I went out to check, and the PTU has stepped up patrols. There are rumors that the police force is preparing for a big operation."
Shen Shaofeng took a sip of iced lemon tea and began his report.
He had just contacted He Wenzhan, a squad leader in the PTU, from a public phone during his internship there.
Based on his memories from his previous life, this person highly values camaraderie and brotherhood, so he should be considered trustworthy.
With a pineapple bun stuffed in his mouth, Li Wenbin mumbled, "Continue."
"As you instructed, I retrieved the receipt from the mailbox outside the laundromat in Yau Ma Tei."
"Then I picked up this set of dry-cleaned clothes that I requested to be picked up the same day."
Li Wenbin took an ordinary jacket from the plastic bag in his hand and pulled out a folded notepad from inside.
"You haven't seen it?"
"no."
Li Wenbin nodded in satisfaction and opened the notepad in front of Shen Shaofeng.
The note read: "Boss, a bunch of bastards, suspected to be from the Political Department, raided your and Shao Feng's residences separately without obtaining a search warrant. The entire department is very upset."
Li Wenbin casually explained, "This is an agreement I made with Abi and the others. If anyone gets into trouble, we can contact them through that laundry shop in an emergency."
Shen Shaofeng said self-deprecatingly, "I hope I'll never have to use this trick again."
After finishing the pineapple bun, Li Wenbin drank half a cup of milk tea in one gulp and let out a burp.
"Shaofeng, I'm sorry to have dragged you into this. You've only just joined the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau and this has already happened."
"Boss, there's no need for those words. Now that I've been dragged into this, if you don't mind, tell me about Brother One and Inspector Choi?"
What Shen Shaofeng lacks most right now is this kind of intelligence.
Li Wenbin lit a cigarette and slowly said, "Chief Xu Huaihan joined the police force in 1963..."
"He served as Assistant Director in 1984 and went to the UK for further studies... He then took over as Director two years ago."
"Deputy Commissioner Cai Yuanqi has a similar resume to Xu Huaihan; both have experience working in various departments of the police force and have also studied in the UK..."
"There are rumors in the police force that Hui Wai-han and Choi Yuen-kei have a very bad relationship, and it's even said that Choi Sir might be forced to retire early and make way for Hui Wai-han's confidant..."
Shen Shaofeng listened quietly and immediately noticed the keyword "had further study experience in the UK".
He understood what this keyword represented.
In Cold War II, Choi Yuen-ki is clearly the former Commissioner of Police, meaning he is the ultimate winner in this internal power struggle within the police force.
Will this kidnapping case be his final leverage to overpower Xu Huaihan?
I don't want to become a pawn of someone like Cai Yuanqi.
"I understand. These big shots are none of our business for now. Boss, our top priority is to catch Fang Zhanqiang as soon as possible and rescue Huang Jiahui."
"That makes sense. Come with me somewhere tonight."
……
That evening, at Gangnam House in Tsim Sha Tsui.
Li Wenbin, dressed in a black leather jacket, led Shen Shaofeng into the restaurant.
A large group of CIB officers were already outside the restaurant, taking photos of everyone who entered.
Tonight is the banquet for Mr. Ruan, the new leader of Lao Wan, to officially take over.
"Sir, Lee Man-bin, the supervisor of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB), has stormed into the Jiangnan Restaurant with one of his men."
Cai Yuanqi received the report quickly.
"Knowing how to use someone else's strength against them, smart boy."
……
In the largest banquet hall of Jiangnan Restaurant, a group of Lao Wan's uncles, various bosses, and a large group of thugs were drinking and gambling.
The sudden appearance of two handsome young men, Li Wenbin and Shen Shaofeng, who seemed out of place among the others, surprised them.
"MB, what are you doing here?"
The old marshal nicknamed White-Headed Maru, the Second Route Marshal, stepped forward to question him.
"I've come to see Mr. Ruan!"
"What a joke! Do you think you can just see Mr. Ruan whenever you want?"
Upon hearing this, Li Wenbin grabbed a bottle of wine from beside him and poured three glasses.
"I'd like to offer a toast to Mr. Ruan."
In full view of everyone, he tilted the wine glass in his hand downwards, spilling the wine on the ground.
The entire audience gasped and stood up, surrounding Li Wenbin and his companion.
"Damn it!"
"Officer, do you want to die?"
Shen Shaofeng was also surprised: Li Sir, is this how you usually toast people?
