Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 895 Goodbye ICAC Lu Zhilian

As he spoke, he handed Watson a business card. Watson took it and looked at it. When he saw that it said Lu Zhilian, Chief Investigation Director of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the corners of his mouth twitched. It was indeed him. However, these people have similar personalities, so it is normal for them to appreciate each other.

Jane Aowei looked at Watson's strange expression and couldn't help asking, "Why, do you know him?"

"Yeah!" Watson nodded and said, "We've dealt with each other before, so thank you, Mr. Jian. I'll go find this Lu Zhilian now!"

Jian Aowei smiled slightly: "Okay, then I wish Hua Sir can overcome the danger and reach a higher level!"

Watson stood up, bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Jian. I will remember your kindness in my heart."

He understood that Jian Aowei was willing to help not only because of Fan Weili's favor, but also because he didn't want to see the rising star who had just joined the police force being toyed with like this. To put it bluntly, his sense of justice told him that such a thing should not happen in Hong Kong Island, so he chose to intervene.

When Jane Aowei saw Watson's actions, he immediately stood up, supported him and said, "We are all friends, don't be so serious." As he said that, he gently patted Watson's hand.

Watson nodded heavily and turned to leave.

Ou Yongen looked at Huasheng's back and asked curiously, "Master, is this the famous Hua Sir in the police force? They say he's a crime nemesis who has solved countless major cases. But on the surface, he doesn't look supernatural!"

Jian Aowei smiled and said, "You, this Hua Sir, are the most outstanding young man in the police force right now. He will even be promoted to Chief Superintendent and take on the position of Chief Commander of the Police Department's Organized Crime and Triad Division."

"There are only a few top talents like this in the entire Hong Kong Island."

Despite saying so, the names of Lu Minghua, Li Yonglian, Lu Zhilian and others immediately emerged in Jian Aowei's mind. These people are also rising stars in Hong Kong Island. They began to show their talents just a few years after they turned 30.

Originally there was another person named Li Wenbin in the police force, but unfortunately after he was surpassed by Huang Bingyao, his fame gradually spread everywhere, and Watson had already replaced his reputation as a rising star in the police force.

Watson didn't know about the conversation between Jane Austen and his apprentice. After leaving, he immediately drove towards the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

On the way, Watson called Lu Zhilian.

"Director Lu, I'm Watson from the police force. I'm wondering if you have time. I have something to ask you!"

Lu Zhilian in the office raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly, "Hua Sir? What can I do for you?"

"Let's meet and talk!"

"Okay, do you need me to come out?"

"No, I'm on my way to the ICAC. Just wait for me in the office."

"Okay, I'll definitely wait for you!"

Half an hour later, Watson arrived at the ICAC building and looked up at the building.

"Is this the last line of defense for Hong Kong officials?"

Countless government officials in Hong Kong began to tremble when they heard the name of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, but Watson showed no fear at all and strode straight in.

After arriving at the front desk, he showed his ID and said, "I am Senior Superintendent Watson of the police force. I have an appointment with your Director Lu Zhilian."

After checking it out, the lady at the front desk extended her hand respectfully and said, "Please follow me!"

Led by the young lady, Watson came to Lu Zhilian's office.

"Director Lu, your office is quite luxurious!"

Lu Zhilian smiled slightly. "It's nothing, just an office. It doesn't matter where you work. Come, take a seat."

Watson was not polite. After sitting down, he said directly, "Director Lu, I came to you this time to ask for your help. I'm sure you've heard the rumors within the police force recently. They say that I colluded with gangs and betrayed the police force to be promoted so quickly."

Lu Zhilian didn't say anything, but just sat quietly in his seat looking at Watson, waiting for what would happen next.

Watson continued, "I came here this time simply to ask your Independent Commission Against Corruption to investigate me. After the investigation, I want to issue a certificate of innocence. I, Watson, will not change my name or surname. I cannot bear being slandered like this!"

Lu Zhilian looked at Huasheng deeply, then smiled faintly and said, "Hua Sir, are you sure you want our ICAC to check your background?"

Watson smiled faintly: "Of course, since I dare to come here, I am not afraid of your investigation. You can check my bank account at will. Ask any questions you want. I will cooperate with everything."

Lu Zhilian nodded and said, "No problem, Mr. Hua. We do know something about what's been going on in the police force recently. Since you've taken the initiative to speak up, our ICAC will immediately set up a special task force to investigate this case thoroughly. If anyone dares to slander a senior superintendent of the police force, they will be charged with a serious crime."

"It even endangers the safety of Hong Kong Island. Our Independent Commission Against Corruption is the last line of defense for Hong Kong Island. Anyone who wants to harm Hong Kong Island must first ask our Independent Commission Against Corruption for permission!"

What he said about endangering the safety of Hong Kong Island was not an exaggeration. Today, Watson has become a banner of the police force.

All Hong Kong Island residents know Watson’s name when talking about the police force. His reputation was forged through major cases. If even he falls, will the people of Hong Kong Island still dare to believe in the police force!

Once a crisis of trust occurs, the consequences will become very serious.

That's why Lu Zhilian said it so seriously.

Watson looked at Lu Zhilian deeply. If someone else said this, he would not believe it, but if it was Lu Zhilian who said it, then he believed that this was a person who was willing to sacrifice his life to punish criminals and protect Hong Kong Island.

"Okay, Director Lu, I'll trouble you then. If you need any cooperation from me, please let me know!"

Lu Zhilian nodded and said, "Well, I'll go hold a meeting now. Afterwards, someone will accompany you, Mr. Hua, to your home for a search. You'll also need to provide various information, including your own and your relatives' bank account numbers."

"No problem, then I'll wait here at the ICAC!" Watson agreed.

Lu Zhilian nodded, then called his assistant and took Watson to the rest area to rest. At present, he was not a suspect and it was not yet time to detain him. Moreover, Watson took the initiative to request an investigation, so he was still innocent.

At the same time, Lu Zhilian quickly called people together to start a meeting. Even the Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Fan Peifang, attended the meeting. Lu Zhilian was a sharp knife under her hand, and she would support him no matter what he did!
