For those three children far from home-Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan-the Motherland never stopped hoping for their return.
To that end, the Motherland had made countless secret preparations.
For instance, planting and even supporting its own people within Hong Kong Island.
Old Master Lee Shu-tong might have been the leading Chinese police officer in the Police Force back then.
But in truth, that "leading" needed quotation marks around it.
Because before Old Master Lee Shu-tong, there had been an Old Master Tsang among the Chinese officers of the Hong Kong Island Police Force.
Only after the Independent Commission Against Corruption was established, when the foreigners relaxed their restrictions on Chinese police officers, had Old Master Lee Shu-tong been able to rise smoothly through the ranks.
But that legendary figure, Old Master Tsang, had already entered the Police Force's commissioned ranks before the Four Great Detectives rose to prominence.
Old Master Tsang had even served in the Political Department, the foreigners' exclusive preserve.
Zhou Quan knew full well that the Motherland had planted and supported its own people in the Hong Kong Island Police Force.
But he had never imagined that his late father, who had died in the line of duty, had been one of them.
With a legacy like this, with connections like these, Zhou Quan wanted to ask just one thing: who else could compare?
He had to admit that, aside from Earth Online's favor, his family members were his greatest assets.
His other academic qualifications, the Shirley Shield-those honors were hardly worth mentioning.
At that moment, tremendous ambition welled up in Zhou Quan's heart.
Forget the commissioned ranks! Forget senior management!
As long as he did not go astray, he stood a very good chance of one day riding in the car bearing Hong Kong Island's No.
