The elders' doting affection for their children left Zhou Quan deeply immersed in it.

But when faced with Wong Bing Yiu's question, Zhou Quan ultimately shook his head.

"Maybe in a few days!"

Shrugging, Zhou Quan said with a helpless smile, "I just started today, and I'm still completely in the dark.

Next, I'm planning to get a better understanding of the triad societies in my jurisdiction.

Once things have settled down, I'll go home for a meal."

The Anti-Triad Unit wasn't a nine-to-five job. At any time or place, they could face sudden triad-related crimes.

Although Zhou Quan had gained a general understanding of West Kowloon during his three months with the Mobile Unit,

the work of the Anti-Triad Unit was bound to require a more detailed understanding.

As the saying went, sharpening the axe wouldn't delay the work of chopping wood!

Naturally, Zhou Quan's first priority after joining was to carefully learn about the triads in his jurisdiction.

"It's commendable that a young man is so devoted to his work."

Wong Bing Yiu nodded, approving of Zhou Quan's idea.

"Make some achievements as soon as possible, and your uncle and I can help you get promoted."

He slowly rose to his feet. After offering Zhou Quan a few words of encouragement, he said solemnly, "15827, on behalf of Yau Tsim District, I formally welcome you to the Anti-Triad Unit.

Starting today, you'll command Anti-Triad A Team and fight on the front line against triad crime."

At that, Zhou Quan's expression grew serious as well.

"Yes, sir!"

He stood up smartly and saluted.

Wong Bing Yiu studied Zhou Quan for a couple of moments, taking in his handsome face, with its strong brows and bright eyes, and the neat white uniform, along with the two gleaming Bath Stars on his shoulders.

"Mm! You really are a fine young man!"

Wong Bing Yiu chuckled and shamelessly said, "You're almost as handsome as I was when I was young!"

Zhou Quan had only just put on a solemn expression, but he couldn't help smiling and shaking his head.

"Alright, enough with the formalities. Sit down!"

As he sat back down, Wong Bing Yiu took a gift box out of his desk drawer.

"Your A-jin prepared a promotion gift for you. Your other aunt hasn't forgotten about you either."

He pushed the gift box over to Zhou Quan, then pointed to a garment bag hanging on the coat rack at the back of the office and said with a grin, "Your aunt picked out that watch and that suit herself. Even I don't get that kind of treatment."

After speaking, Wong Bing Yiu pursed his lips at Zhou Quan, clearly showing how envious he was.

Now that Zhou Quan had officially joined the Yau Tsim District Anti-Triad Unit, he wouldn't need to wear his uniform on duty anymore.

Even if Zhou Quan had prepared his own clothes and accessories, his elders at home clearly wouldn't forget about him.

For now, it wasn't convenient for Zhou Quan to open the garment bag containing the suit right there in the office.

But he had no such qualms about opening the gift box with the watch in it.

He untied the ribbon, and the first thing Zhou Quan saw was a crown and some English lettering on the box.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

Zhou Quan clicked his tongue and continued opening it.

When the box was fully open, a flash of gold immediately caught his eye.

"This big gold Rolex from my aunt isn't worth any less than the car my A-jin gave me."

Running his fingers over the watch face, which was polished enough to reflect his image, Zhou Quan joked, "Aren't you afraid the ICAC will invite me in for coffee?"

Though he said that, Zhou Quan obediently took off his own watch and put on the one his aunt had given him.

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Wong Bing Yiu was clearly pleased with Zhou Quan's reaction. He shrugged smugly and said with great confidence, "Your aunt and your A-jin are both incredibly well-off.

We've got no reason to take bribes, so why would the ICAC give us trouble?"

As he spoke, Wong Bing Yiu picked up the telephone on his desk and continued, "Chun, sit here for a bit. I'll find someone to show you how to report for duty."

The people under the command of Yau Tsim District's Big Sir naturally wouldn't dare neglect his call.

The phone had barely rung before it was picked up.

"Hello, get the head of your B Group to come to my office!"

"What? Chan Kwok-chung isn't there? He's out on an operation?"

"Then send William over!"

While Wong Bing Yiu was on the phone, Zhou Quan appeared to be sitting quietly in his chair. In fact, his mind had already wandered far away.

The moment Wong Bing Yiu formally welcomed him to the unit, a pleasant notification rang out in his mind.

[ Ding! Detected that the player has officially taken up a frontline investigative post as an Inspector. Congratulations on receiving the Psychological Detective achievement reward. ]

A while ago, when Zhou Quan had been promoted to Inspector, he'd thought his cheat would give him a new achievement reward.

But who could have guessed that his cheat would remain completely silent?

At first, Zhou Quan had felt restless and anxious, but he quickly got his state of mind under control.

As the saying went, to gain something was a blessing; to lose it was fate!

Zhou Quan had already received a great blessing. He should feel content and grateful rather than keep demanding more and lamenting his lot.

He only needed to take things as they came.

Even so, receiving another achievement reward still filled Zhou Quan with excitement.

With a heart full of gratitude, he carefully took in the good news brought by the achievement reward.

Psychological Detective-by its name, it was obviously related to psychology.

Zhou Quan had already minored in psychology as part of his bachelor's degree, and he had quite a bit of insight into criminal psychology.

Psychology was the science of studying human mental phenomena, as well as the mental functions and behavioral activities influenced by them. It had both a strong theoretical foundation and practical applications.

At that moment, the Psychological Detective achievement had brought Zhou Quan's mastery of psychology to an exceptionally high level.

Most importantly, this achievement reward wasn't limited to psychology alone.

The words "Detective" also highlighted how powerful this achievement reward was.

It included a wealth of knowledge, including criminal investigation, tactical apprehension in the field, crime scene examination, and trace evidence analysis.

Now that Zhou Quan was about to begin frontline investigative work, the Psychological Detective achievement would surely become an invaluable tool in his casework and interrogations.

The process of receiving the achievement reward seemed long, but in truth, it had all happened in an instant.

Before Wong Bing Yiu had finished his call, Zhou Quan had already absorbed everything and made it instinctive.

"Chun, you know that your Anti-Triad Unit is divided into A and B teams, and the overall commander is a foreigner."

After hanging up, Wong Bing Yiu looked at Zhou Quan with a smile and said, "I'd planned to have the B Team commander take you downstairs.

But he happens to be out of the station today, so I have no choice but to get that foreigner William up here."
