The Police Force moved swiftly against Wo Sing Wo, with Lee Man-bun, head of the Organized Crime and Triad Society Investigation Bureau, taking charge in person.
He bypassed the headquarters of the various Police Districts and issued orders to every Anti-Triad Department in the Police Force.
In an operation like this, targeting a Triad with branches spread throughout Hong Kong Island,
Lee Man-bun wielded even greater authority than the Assistant Commissioner-level commanders of the individual Police Districts.
After all, the Big Sirs of those regions still needed to contact their colleagues in other jurisdictions.
Lee Man-bun, by contrast, only needed to issue a written order, and every district's Anti-Triad Department had to respond and cooperate.
The sweeping Special Campaign against organized crime began at once.
The three Action Groups of O Division left some personnel to handle their existing work, while everyone else concentrated entirely on taking down Wo Sing Wo.
With the precise intelligence Zhou Quan had provided, Wo Sing Wo's Leaders had no room to argue their way out.
The three O Division Superintendents, led by Kong Chi Lap, split up and moved out in coordination with the Anti-Triad Units of the various districts.
Every notable figure in Wo Sing Wo immediately became a target for arrest by the entire Police Force.
This included not only the current Leaders of Wo Sing Wo's branches, but also the elders of the previous generation.
Even Uncle Deng, Wo Sing Wo's uncrowned king, was no exception.
As one of Hong Kong Island's long-established leading societies, Wo Sing Wo's enormous influence went without saying.
It had nine major branches, as well as several dozen scattered smaller ones.
To put it bluntly, the Police Force's Anti-Triad Departments had at least a hundred targets in this operation.
