Operation Crouching Tiger proceeded in an orderly fashion. Zhou Quan had already sent out the first batch of Crouching Tiger members.
They went from openly serving as police officers to working in secret as undercover police officers.
Zhou Quan's pretext for arranging these young officers' departures from the Police Force was simple: he could attribute them all to the Political Department.
With the disbandment of the Political Department, there were many intelligence agents under MI5 within the Police Force.
Some changed their identities and left Hong Kong Island, while others were transferred to ordinary departments within the Police Force to continue working.
Taking advantage of the Political Department's dissolution to arrange for a group of people to leave the Police Force was child's play for Zhou Quan.
At this point, after nearly half a month of hectic work, Zhou Quan finally had a little breathing room.
On his Saturday off, although Zhou Quan did not leave West Kowloon Headquarters, he at least stopped busying himself with work.
Inside the Gun Room of the Mobile Unit's B Company training building, Zhou Quan and Au Wing-yan sat side by side in the Shooting Range's observation room.
Through the glass window, five young men could be seen on the range, fully absorbed in their shooting practice.
They were Zhou Quan's First Disciple, Guan Zu, three young senior constables in his own Anti-Triad Unit whom he favored, and a young plainclothes officer who had transferred into the unit in the second half of last year.
Guan Zu was determined to make his father salute him, while Pang Yik-hang had followed Zhou Quan into the Police Force out of admiration for his tactical movements and marksmanship.
Whenever he had time off, Zhou Quan would train Guan Zu and Pang Yik-hang, provided he had nothing important
