Hong Kong variety show, I am a charming cop.

Chapter 364 Accepting the Mission

Su Axi moved with lightning speed, quickly stuffing her wallet under her bottom: "No, no, no pressure. I've been wanting a new look for a long time... What clothes do you want me to wear?"

Li Jian lowered his voice and said, "Actually, you look good even without wearing it."

Su Axi winked and said, "Okay, okay, come to my house tonight, I'll let you see..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Jian turned and left.

Su Axi pulled out her wallet and gave it a big kiss: "I'm rich!"

. . . . . .

Inside Huang Bingyao's office.

Huang Bingyao said, "Ah Jian, you've come at the right time. The reporters are getting impatient. Come with me quickly."

As soon as I arrived at my workstation, Huang Bingyao summoned me over.

Li Jian exclaimed, "Can we not go?"

Huang Bingyao said unhappily, "What are you afraid of? This is a great opportunity that others would fight over. If you want to climb up the ladder, you have to participate in more of these kinds of high-profile events."

Otherwise, with tens of thousands of police officers across Hong Kong Island, who would recognize you?

Li Jian rubbed his teeth: "But I'm tongue-tied, what if I say something wrong?"

Huang Bingyao patted him on the shoulder and said, "We have already prepared a speech. You can just read it when the time comes."

Li Jian said helplessly, "Yes, sir."

"By the way, what did you do with Zhu Tao's female secretary?" Huang Bingyao suddenly asked.

Li Jian said, "Like Zhu Tao, he resisted arrest, assaulted police officers, and sold flour."

Wong Bing-yiu said, "Withdraw all charges against her."

Li Jian frowned and said, "If the charges are dropped, then she can be released, right?"

Huang Bingyao nodded: "The higher-ups believe that Zhu Tao's line can be explored further. Zhu Tao's female secretary hasn't been with him for long, so she can be used as a breakthrough point."

Li Jian felt this was a bit tricky and said, "Ksalina is still Zhu Tao's person. It will be very difficult to get her to cooperate with our police."

“I know this is a difficult task, so I think it’s best to entrust this challenging task to someone who is capable,” Huang Bingyao said, his eyes fixed intently on Li Jian.

Li Jian nodded: "Superintendent Huang Zhicheng is shrewd and resourceful, and I also think he is very capable."

Huang Bingyao took a deep breath: "It wasn't him."

Li Jian continued, "Although Senior Inspector Zhou Huabiao is a bit old, he is mature, steady, and reliable. Entrusting this matter to him should not be a problem."

“It wasn’t him either,” Huang Bingyao said calmly.

“The newly arrived senior inspector, Liang Xiaorou, is just as capable as any man. She has excellent case-handling skills, and being a woman, I think she should be able to handle the job,” Li Jian thought to himself.

Huang Bingyao's face bulged with fat as he put his arm around Li Jian's shoulder and said, "Alright, don't try to fool me. I'm going to assign this task to you... Hey, you don't need to thank me, this is an affirmation of your work."

"Alright, come with me to the press conference."

"After the meeting, we'll discuss in detail how to break through this Sharena."

Huang Bingyao grabbed Li Jian by the neck and dragged him to the venue.

At the press conference.

A female reporter asked, "Officer Li, I heard that you deserve the most credit for this operation. Is that true?"

Li Jian flashed a standard eight-tooth smile: "You can't say that. The credit goes to the wise leadership of our superiors."

The female reporter then asked, "Will you get a promotion because of this?"

Li Jian said, "As a police officer, you don't arrest criminals for the sake of promotion. As for whether you get promoted or not, it depends on what your superiors decide."

A male reporter raised his hand: "I heard that the suspect wanted to bribe you with one million dollars, is that true?"

Li Jian laughed and said, "If you really gave me a million dollars, I would resign immediately, haha. This is just a joke, please don't send it out. As a royal police officer, let alone a million dollars, even if it were ten million or a hundred million, I would never leave this post."

It's necessary to say polite words.

Even if you're thinking about illicit sex, do you really have to say it out loud?

Discuss the deeds but not the heart!

For the last question, Yue Huizhen raised her hand: "I heard that during the arrest of the criminals, you jumped from the 28th floor of a building. I wonder if you were injured?"

Li Jian waved his hand and raised his voice: "I've stopped coughing!"

Clap clap clap—Thunderous applause erupted from below.

End of the meeting.

Huang Bingyao kept Li Jian behind: "Jian, Salina is the most important witness in this case. Your superiors have sent you to protect her. You must complete the mission and don't bring shame to our Major Crimes Unit."

Li Jian said, "The Serious Crimes Unit isn't just me; Chen Jiaju can handle it too."

Huang Bingyao shook his head and said, "I don't trust anyone else."

"I don't understand why we need to protect a female prisoner. Aren't we enough evidence to prosecute Zhu Tao?" Li Jian still didn't want to take on the task.

Huang Bingyao said, "Zhu Tao is in detention now. If he knew that Sharina had become a tainted witness for the police, what do you think he would do?"

Li Jian said, "He will do everything he can to prevent Sharina from testifying in court."

Wong Bing-yiu clapped his hands: "That's right. We're not afraid of Zhu Tao taking action, we're afraid of him not taking action. He can sell flour in Hong Kong Island, so he must have a superior behind him. The boss's intention is to bring out the line behind Zhu Tao, to cast a long line and catch a big fish."

Li Jian spread his hands: "What can I say?"

Huang Bingyao patted Li Jian on the shoulder and said, "I know this operation will be very dangerous, so please feel free to ask me for anything. As long as it is within my authority, I will agree to it."

Li Jian said, "I want to be alone."

"You need people? The guys in your team are all top-notch. Huang Zhicheng has mentioned to me several times that he wants to poach them. Aren't you satisfied?" Huang Bingyao took a sip of tea. "Alright, who do you want?"

Li Jian said, "Ma Jun from the East Kowloon Serious Crimes Unit."

“Ma Jun? That name sounds familiar,” Huang Bingyao asked. “Why did you specifically ask for this person?”

Li Jian said, "Don't worry about that. Ma Jun is quite skilled. In our group, only Chen Jiaju is decent at fighting; the others are all just all talk and no action."

This time, I'll have to personally lead the pursuit of Zhu Tao.

"I'm a senior inspector, after all. How can I always be at the forefront? Don't I have any dignity?"

Wong Bing-yiu rolled his eyes: "You've only just become a senior inspector and you're already thinking about working behind the scenes? You're living too comfortably."

Li Jian said, "Just tell me if it's okay or not. If you agree, I'll take on this task."
