On Hong Kong Island's evening news, two senior officers from the Police Force's National Security Department appeared before the public on television, dressed in crisp, immaculate white shirts.
Although this Police Force press conference had been added to Hong Kong Island's evening news channel at short notice, it received considerable airtime.
There was not only edited footage of the operation, but also a forceful statement from Luo Danian on behalf of the National Security Department.
The footage had not been edited because it contained anything that might have a negative impact.
It was simply that the operation He Wenzhan had led lasted nearly thirty minutes, which was also the entire length of Hong Kong Island's evening news.
The Police Force's Public Relations Department had the authority to ask Hong Kong Island Television to assist urgently with its publicity efforts.
But in doing so, it could hardly disregard all of Hong Kong Island's regular current affairs news.
Thus, the evening news showed only the most impressive portions of the operation footage and the essential content of the Police Force's press conference.
As for more detailed coverage of the Police Force's press conference, the front pages of Hong Kong Island's major newspapers would naturally carry it the following day.
Superintendent He Wenzhan, commander of Group One of the Police Force's National Security Department's Criminal Operations Division, had personally led the team.
In just a few seconds, they had precisely and unerringly stripped every criminal of the ability to resist.
Through television screens, that stunning scene became deeply etched in the minds of people in households across Hong Kong Island.
Everyone throughout Hong Kong Island knew that the Action Group under Sir Kwan of the Police Force was exceptionally elite.
But the public had no direct impression of just how elite they were.
