Hong Kong variety show, I am a charming cop.

Chapter 171 The Problematic Chen Jiaju

Huang Bingyao wasn't just bluffing.

The ICAC is like the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in the north or the tax bureau in the United States; it's one level above any official.

In ancient times, this would be equivalent to an imperial censor!

If you have a dirty past, it's easy for others to find fault with you.

Li Jian said, "Hey, I'm still young, and I don't have your composure as a superior officer. I will definitely learn a lot from you."

Huang Bingyao stood up, put the gun into his waist pouch, walked over to Li Jian, and patted him on the shoulder: "Young man, it's good to have drive. Don't let this little thing hold you back."

Actually, I envy you a lot, and besides, you're doing it for work.

This was handled very well; Deputy Director Li called specifically to praise you!

This time, you've once again brought honor to our West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit!

Li Jian said, "It's all thanks to your excellent leadership, Inspector Huang. I've already arranged for my assistant to write a report, which will definitely include your wisdom, strategic brilliance, and ability to plan and execute, so that those who hold positions without doing their jobs can see your charisma!"

"Hahaha!"

Huang Bingyao laughed heartily, his back teeth showing: "Don't exaggerate, be realistic. But Ah Jian, you're an honest man, you never lie."

Huang Bingyao continued, "There were no casualties in this operation. The senior executives of Huaye Company and Fenghua International were basically all captured. This was done very well."

Li Jian suddenly interrupted Huang Bingyao: "Inspector Huang, it wasn't entirely without damage. Ah Ao was capturing Ma Zhihua's bodyguard at the back door when he accidentally kicked down the glass door."

Huang Bingyao scoffed, "I thought it was something serious. For such a small problem, just report it to the logistics department and give A'ao a few days off so he won't take it to heart."

"Wong Sir is truly a subordinate in a T-shirt; my admiration for you is like a never-ending river!"

Li Jian didn't hold back in his flattery.

Anyway, flattery doesn't cost anything.

Huang Bingyao said, "You handled this case so well, you can rightfully take over as the captain of the Ninth Squad! Congratulations, Captain Li!"

Uh--

This name sounds so awkward.

However, Li Jian would not refuse. He stood up happily and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Inspector Wong. Li Jian swears to serve Inspector Wong to the death!"

Wong Bing-yiu grinned from ear to ear, then straightened up and said, "You misspoke. You're not pledging allegiance to me, you're pledging allegiance to the Hong Kong Police Force and the people of Hong Kong!"

Despite saying that, Huang Bingyao was still very pleased.

"Now that you're the team leader, have you chosen team leaders for your two subgroups yet?"

Li Jian knew that Huang Bingyao was doing him a favor.

Li Jian thought for a moment and said, "Let Fei Sha be the leader of Group A. As for Group B, leave the position vacant for now and let Jiaju be the acting leader. We'll talk about it after they take the assessment."

Li Jian's promotion was like a rocket launch.

His team members also benefited from the situation.

As the saying goes, "When one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven," and no one would not want to follow a promising leader.

Having solved several major cases in a row, Fei Sha and his team are about to be promoted.

Especially Fei Sha and Chen Jiaju, who have served for a longer period, are about to go to the police academy for training to become police inspectors.

Hearing Li Jian's words, Huang Bingyao was somewhat surprised: "Why didn't you mention Fan Shuwa? I heard you two are dating. Don't overlook him just because of that relationship. You should recommend talented people regardless of personal connections!"

Fan Shuwa is indeed Li Jian's confidant.

After all, the two of them were communicating in close proximity.

Li Jian said, "The child has good qualities, but she lacks a strong sense of responsibility and needs more experience. If possible, I hope she can switch to an office job; everyone has their own expertise!"

"As for Chen Jiaju of Group B, he is too impulsive and doesn't consider the consequences of his actions. My idea is to make him the acting group leader first and temper his temperament."

In fact, Li Jian would prefer to recommend Qiu Gang'ao as the acting team leader.

However, Qiu Gang'ao had just graduated from police academy and had little experience and qualifications.

Making him a team leader right after he arrived is probably going to make Mike and Liang Nengren, the old guys, feel resentful.

Huang Bingyao, however, trusted Li Jian completely, saying, "You know the people you brought best. Just do as you say. Have Fei Sha and Chen Jiaju come over later, and I'll personally instruct them."

As he spoke, Huang Bingyao patted Li Jian on the shoulder: "Jian, normally only police officers at the inspector level or above can be the team leader, but I've opened this back door for you, so you'd better live up to it!"

Li Jian stood up abruptly and saluted: "I pledge my loyalty to Inspector Wong!"

I left Huang Bingyao's office.

Li Jian arrived at Group B's office, clapped his hands, and said, "Fei Sha, go and call the people from Group A over. I have something to say."

Fei Sha always carried out Li Jian's arrangements without any compromise.

With the exception of a very few individuals, all members of Group A were present.

Yuan Haoyun waved to Li Jian.

Li Jian glanced around and asked, "Where's Song Guoming?"

Yuan Haoyun said, "Sir Song hasn't arrived yet; he's probably gone to Victoria One."

Li Jian frowned: "What's he going to Victoria One for? That's Saigon, not under our jurisdiction."

"It's all because of that murder case!"

Yuan Haoyun shrugged and said, "As you know, Gao Sir's wife lives in that neighborhood. After Song Sir heard about it, he went there almost every day."

Fei Sha curled his lip: "Unsolicited kindness is either a trick or a theft!"

Liang Nengren winked: "I guess she's attracted by Gao Sir's beautiful wife and wants to be like him."

Mike covered Liang Nengren's mouth: "Aren, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"

Li Jian's expression remained unchanged, revealing nothing. "I called everyone here today to announce something. Due to a long-term sick leave, Inspector Gao is unable to perform his duties, so I will be acting as the captain of the Ninth Squad."

Inspector Wong just asked for my opinion: Fat Sha will be the leader of Group A, and Chan Ka Kui will act as the leader of Group B.

I've finished speaking. Does anyone have any comments?

Yuan Haoyun and others all experienced pupil dilation.

Song Guoming had only been gone a short while, and the leader of Group A had already been replaced?

It's not exactly a change of personnel, since Song Guoming is only the acting team leader.

The most shocked person was Fei Sha, who looked completely incredulous.

Mike (Francis Ng) clapped his hands: "Fat Sha, congratulations on your promotion!"

Fei Sha still didn't believe it. He shook his head and said, "Brother Jian, you're not kidding, are you? I'm just a police sergeant, how could I be a team leader?"

Li Jian laughed and said, "No doubt about it. This was something I discussed with Inspector Wong. By the way, you and Ka-Kui should go to Inspector Wong's office now. Inspector Wong wants to give you a lecture."

"Yes, sir!"

Upon receiving Li Jian's affirmative answer, Fei Sha was overjoyed, his chubby face undulating like waves.

As for Chan Ka-kui... he was completely dumbfounded!

"Me? Someone like me can become a team leader?" Chen Jiaju doubted himself even more than Fei Sha.

It's not that Chen Jiaju's professional skills were lacking.

When it comes to catching thieves, Chen Jiaju is worth ten Fei Sha.

However, Chan Ka-kui often caused trouble, either smashing the windows of buses or knocking down the decorative lights in shopping malls.

The suspects he handled were almost always bruised and battered.

Every year, Chan Ka-kui receives enough complaint letters to fill a drawer.

He was summoned for questioning by the Complaints and Investigations Department every few days, but Chen Jiaju was like a donkey—he wouldn't move no matter how you tried to lead him, and he would back down no matter how you tried to push him.

He knows all the problems, but he just won't change them.

This person works incredibly hard, but lives a very laid-back life.

After work, he would go out and party with his girlfriend until late at night, never thinking of giving his boss any local specialties.
