Taking Trusted Men to His New Post

A brand-new Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicle slowly came to a stop in front of Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station.

Through the car window, Zhou Quan looked at the police station building before him. Though it was a little smaller, it was every bit as imposing as West Kowloon Headquarters.

A confident, spirited look flashed across his brow. This would be the new starting point from which he climbed to greater heights in the Police Force.

Thanks to the support of his elders at home, the interview stage of his Inspector assessment had been little more than a formality.

On top of that, his academic qualifications and record were outstanding, and his answers at the interview had been impressive. This earned him lavish praise from Lau Kit-fai, the chief interviewer from Headquarters.

The day after his assessment, Zhou Quan officially had two Bath Stars on his shoulders.

Once he had successfully completed his Mobile Unit rotation, he began reporting to his new department, thanks to arrangements made by his elders at home.

The Anti-Triad Unit at Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station was his elders' new arrangement for him.

More precisely, it was the Yau Tsim District Anti-Triad Unit.

It was just that Yau Tsim District Headquarters and Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station were in the same place.

"Ah Zhan, now that you've left the PTU after serving there for so many years, how do you feel?"

Turning his gaze from the window, Zhou Quan looked at He Wenzhan beside him and asked with a chuckle.

Solving several major cases in succession had not only allowed Zhou Quan to complete his Inspector Probationary Period ahead of schedule.

It had also earned all his men promotions by one rank.

Every member of the PTU team had been promoted and given a raise, so their next postings naturally had to be rearranged.

That was no problem for the others; the PTU team still had room for them.

But He Wenzhan and Shao Meiqi were in a completely different situation.

As two Sergeants at a police station, they would definitely have to be assigned elsewhere.

So after asking He Wenzhan what he wanted, Zhou Quan brought him to Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station.

During the three months of Mobile Unit rotation, Zhou Quan had come to understand He Wenzhan very well.

He was loyal to his friends, valued brotherhood, and wasn't afraid of trouble.

He needn't look further than the time they handled the cash-in-transit robbery. He Wenzhan had instinctively stepped in front of him.

That was enough for Zhou Quan to trust He Wenzhan and regard him as one of his own.

As for Shao Meiqi, it wasn't that Zhou Quan had any issue with her.

It was just that he would certainly be cracking down hard on the triads in his district, and female officers had more weaknesses to contend with.

So Zhou Quan hadn't meddled much in where Shao Meiqi would be posted.

"Assistant Superintendent, you're flattering me. I'm over the moon, of course!"

A smile rose from the bottom of He Wenzhan's heart, reaching his resolute face.

Just as Zhou Quan had come to understand He Wenzhan very well, He Wenzhan also knew his Assistant Superintendent inside out.

It was his good fortune to be able to follow a superior like him.

What was more, his superior's background was unfathomable, and his future was bound to be bright.

It was rare to hear this stern, unsmiling subordinate flatter him, and Zhou Quan couldn't help smiling.

"Go park the car first, then wait for me in the Anti-Triad Unit's office."

Zhou Quan took out the car remote and tossed it to He Wenzhan, then opened the door and got out.

"I'll go meet our future Big Sir."

The new-model Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicle was a gift his family had prepared for him.

It was to celebrate his early promotion, and to make things more convenient for him in the future.

Once he reported to the Anti-Triad Unit, there would be no more riot vans for him to take out on assignments.

As for whether the car was beyond what his salary could afford, that clearly wasn't a problem.

Even the Independent Commission Against Corruption couldn't come after him over this off-road vehicle.

After all, he wasn't alone. The Lee Family behind him might not be business tycoons.

But as one of the main parts of the Shanghai Clique, the Lee Family's assets were beyond question.

Leaving He Wenzhan to find a parking spot, Zhou Quan headed straight into the office building at Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station.

With his Appointment Certificate hanging on his chest, Zhou Quan made his way unimpeded to the top floor of the station.

The Big Sir he had just mentioned wasn't the commander of the Yau Tsim District Anti-Triad Unit, but his uncle by marriage, Wong Bing Yiu.

Even before his promotion, Zhou Quan had known that once he finished his Mobile Unit rotation, his elders at home would have him transferred to the Yau Tsim District Anti-Triad Unit.

So although this was his first time at Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station, he had already familiarized himself with most of the place.

The commander of the Yau Tsim District Anti-Triad Unit was a foreigner named William, who held the rank of Chief Inspector.

He might seem to be Zhou Quan's future Big Sir, but in truth, he hardly handled any business anymore.

After all, he was a foreigner, and the Police Force had already begun to enter an era in which Chinese police officers took charge.

As the Big Sir of the entire Yau Tsim District, Wong Bing Yiu was a senior figure in the Police Force with the rank of Senior Superintendent on his shoulders.

Even though the gun at Zhou Quan's uncle Wong Bing Yiu's waist had never been fired, his methods were unquestionably formidable.

He held the power across the entire Yau Tsim District firmly in his hands.

The foreigners under his command in the district were basically just waiting quietly for 1997 to arrive.

They would either retire from the Police Force or return to the foreigners' stronghold.

Zhou Quan had been transferred to the Yau Tsim District Anti-Triad Unit for the same reason.

As long as Zhou Quan could deliver results that stood out, Wong Bing Yiu would be fully capable of putting him in the commander's seat at the Yau Tsim District Anti-Triad Unit.

"Knock! Knock-knock!"

He briskly reached the door of his uncle's office. Although the door stood wide open, Zhou Quan still politely knocked.

"Come in!"

The next moment, a full-throated, imposing voice rang out from inside the office.

Unlike the genial, Buddha-like warmth he showed to those close to him, Wong Bing Yiu's authority when handling official business fully befitted his standing as a senior figure in the Police Force.

His lofty position was one thing, but his personal prowess was also extraordinary.

His reputation for the Deadly Scissor Kick had been earned the hard way, clamping down on the heads of criminals one after another.

However, when Wong Bing Yiu saw that the visitor was Zhou Quan, his imposing aura immediately faded.

"You brat."

Wong Bing Yiu glared at Zhou Quan as if annoyed, then chided him with a smile. "I told you to come home for dinner yesterday. How could you stand up your aunt and me?"

Zhou Quan didn't mind. He pulled over a chair without a trace of ceremony and sat down in front of Wong Bing Yiu.

"Couldn't help it. A-jin kept me at her place yesterday!"

At the same time, he explained with a chuckle.

"That's true. Your A-jin dotes on you even more than she does on Junzai."

Wong Bing Yiu nodded in understanding, then continued, "What about tonight? Are you coming home tonight, you brat?"
