An anonymous account holding nearly US$1.5 billion was nothing like the sums involved in the cases Zhou Quan had handled before.
After all, the cases he had solved previously had involved seized evidence worth a certain amount.
But this anonymous Swiss bank account actually held nearly US$1.5 billion in real money that could be withdrawn!
To put it bluntly, Zhou Quan could take this anonymous account, move to another country, and live a life of extravagance.
But the deep affection of his elders and the values instilled in his very bones would not allow Zhou Quan to do such a thing.
A gentleman loved wealth but acquired it through proper means!
Zhou Quan had never claimed to be a gentleman, but neither would he betray his roots and forget his ancestors.
Nearly US$1.5 billion was an astonishing temptation, but it was still not enough to make Zhou Quan sell his soul.
Of course, he would not simply leave this enormous sum unattended, either.
Rather than leave it within the Police Force for those insatiably greedy foreigners to take,
he might as well contribute it to the Motherland and support its development.
That way, Zhou Quan himself could also receive a very substantial return.
The Motherland certainly would not offer any monetary reward, but it would absolutely support Zhou Quan's career behind the scenes.
Zhou Quan had specifically brought Wong Bing Yiu and Lee Man-bun along because he intended to use this opportunity to secure a stepping stone toward a limitless future for all three of them.
His family was already a staunch supporter of Hong Kong Island's return to the Motherland, and he was Old Master Zhou's direct descendant.
With such a generous gift now being sent to the Motherland, how could it forget their contributions?
