Chapter 173 Lei Luo Wants to Run Away
Chapter 173 Lei Luo Wants to Run Away
Sure enough, Xue Jifu’s next words verified Lei Luo’s guess.
"At the same time, Inspector Lei Luo will be entrusted with the important task of participating in a temporary review team of police equipment.
He will work with three superintendents to study and plan improvements to future police equipment."
Lei Luo knew something was wrong and asked the translator:
"Ask the director how long he wants me to do this?"
Xue Jifu certainly knew what Lei Luo was talking about, but he pretended not to understand.
The translator leaned close to his ear and whispered:
"Director, Inspector Lei Luo asked him how long he would do it?"
Xue Jifu asked the translator to say:
"It'll take six months."
Lei Luo signaled his men to speak:
"Director, what about Chief Chinese Inspector Lei Luo's original job?"
He focused on the words "Chief Chinese Detective".
Xue Jifu asked the translator to continue:
"Inspector Lei Luo's work will be temporarily shared by Chief Inspector Li Shaoan and Chief Inspector Yan Tong."
Originally, if Li Shaoan came to the meeting in person, Xue Jifu wanted to hand over all of Lei Luo's power to Li Shaoan.
But if he doesn't come, Xue Jifu can only cut half of it to Yan Tong.
He also wanted to give them all to Yan Tong, Lan Gang and others, but after thinking it over, he still didn't dare to do so.
Although Li Shaoan is not here, we still have to share some good things with him.
Yan Tong was feeling half happy and half sad at this moment.
Xue Jifu was obviously going to deal with Lei Luo. While he was a little happy, he was also worried whether it would be his turn.
More importantly, Li Shaoan's influence has also penetrated into Central.
By this calculation, Li Shaoan has influence in the three major regions of Hong Kong.
This force is growing more and more terrifying, how can Yan Tong not be afraid?
Lei Luo clapped his hands in anger and sneered:
"You guys continue with the meeting. I have some sweet soup at home. I'm going to go back and check on the fire."
After saying that, several Chinese detectives stood up with him and walked out of the meeting room.
Xue Jifu's face darkened as he saw Lei Luo not giving him face.
He didn't even think about it.
They were obviously going to target Lei Luo, but Lei Luo was not a pushover, so how could they possibly give him face?
Huang Bingyao looked up at the ceiling without saying a word.
He has already thought about it.
Today, I am the boss's eyes and ears, and I will never be his mouth.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption was originally supposed to be established in February 1974.
But now, with the strong support of Li Shaoan, Murray MacLehose established this department more than a year ahead of schedule.
The first Commissioner was also Sir John Keld, who was an absolute confidant of MacLehose.
Kei Tat was well aware of the relationship between Lee Siu On and Murray MacLehose, and he himself also tried hard to get close to Lee Siu On.
Therefore, there were many people planted by Li Shaoan in the newly established Independent Commission Against Corruption.
This anti-corruption campaign cannot be aimed only at the Chinese; British people must not think of escaping either.
Lei Luo's residence.
Zhuyouzi was busy making tea, and Lei Luo's detective Siyan Kun said:
"Luo Ge, when will you come out?
We are now under the spotlight of Yan Tong and Huang Bingyao.
Huang Bingyao is better. He treats everyone equally during his drug crackdown in his jurisdiction.
But Yan Tong, that bastard, messed up our fees, and our share was much less."
Siyan Kun knew that everything Huang Bingyao did was in accordance with Li Shaoan's instructions.
But even in front of Lei Luo, he didn't dare to say anything bad about Li Shaoan.
It’s really because Li Shaoan is now too powerful and his status is too high.
And they have always known that shipments are not allowed within Li Shaoan's jurisdiction.
When Xue Jifu divided the Lei Luo territory to Li Shaoan, they had already prepared themselves mentally.
What made them even more angry was Yan Tong.
Yan Tong was clearly also putting up signs to ship goods, but he reduced a lot of their fees.
Lei Luo smoked quietly and listened to Siyan Kun continue talking.
A Kun was so angry that he said:
“When you were here, Luo Ge, that bastard Yan Tong treated us like his father.
How dare you do this now?"
Lei Luo took a sip of tea and said calmly:
“I told you when Xue Jifu wanted to add more Chinese detectives.
He just wanted you to have internal strife due to uneven distribution of the spoils, and now his goal has been achieved."
After taking a deep puff of cigarette, Lei Luo continued:
"Believe me, this big storm won't pass so quickly."
Another Chinese detective, Fatty Sen, said angrily:
"If it weren't for Mr. Li, we wouldn't be so passive."
A Kun also nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Lei Luo waved his hand to ask them to stop and said:
“Mr. Li’s starting point is also good.
Besides, they are powerful, so don’t say such things outside.”
Fatty Sen suddenly realized that he had said something wrong and quickly changed the subject:
“Brother Luo, the ICAC is just a small department.
If one of us policemen pees, it can cause a flood in ICAC, so we don’t need to back down, right?”
Ah Kun also nodded and responded:
"Luo Ge, Asen is right.
We don't need to worry about ICAC, but we should worry more about the aggressiveness of Xue Jifu and others.
These bastards are asking us to pay up, both openly and covertly. I guess they already know what we have been doing for so many years."
As he said this, he looked at Lei Luo with hope in his eyes and said:
"Brother Luo, now all the brothers want you to come forward and take charge of the situation."
Lei Luo smiled bitterly, he knew his own business.
Xue Jifu and others put even more pressure on him, and he felt helpless.
It would be better if Li Shaoan was not here.
He could come forward and cause a riot, so that Xue Jifu, ICAC and others would be afraid to force him again.
He doesn't have any other options now.
He smiled helplessly at the two of them and said:
“No, there’s no point in me showing up.
Just yesterday I received the letter, they officially approved my resignation and retirement.
I think they can't hold back any longer.
Listen to me, and come with me."
Four-eyed Kun and Fatty Sen were obviously unable to let go of the power in their hands. They lowered their heads and remained silent when they heard this.
Lei Luo looked at these two subordinates who had followed him for decades and sighed in his heart.
He didn't even know if he could get away.
Siyan Kun saw Lei Luo sighing and thought it was because of them.
So he comforted:
"Brother Luo, please let us know when you are leaving.
Let the brothers see you off together."
Upon hearing this, Lei Luo was speechless.
And let the brothers give you a farewell party?
He wished he could escape from Hong Kong quietly right now.
But neither of them was willing to go with him, proving that they were no longer of the same mind.
There is no need to tell them these things.
He raised his teacup and said with a smile:
"Okay, I'll let you know when the time comes.
Come, have some tea."
Just then, yesterday's news was replayed on TV.
Rediffusion Television:
“Today is the day when the Independent Commission Against Corruption was established and we have interviewed Sir David about the nature of ICAC.
The Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Sir David Keith, said.
The ICAC was established directly by the Governor of Hong Kong with the aim of comprehensively combating serious corruption cases in society.
He believes that the vast majority of Hong Kong citizens are deeply looking forward to the emergence of equality and order in this society.
Sir Jeddah called on all victims or citizens who know of corruption to come forward and report corruption.
Sir Jeddah promised that all information from the whistleblower would be kept absolutely confidential.
Hong Kong citizens are welcome to report. ”
This piece of news made everyone present feel heavy-hearted.
