How the Hong Kong Government's Executive Council meetings proceeded, and how Lok Ming-wah would adjust the internal structure of the Security Bureau.
These matters actually had little to do with Zhou Quan.
Most simply, once his maternal uncle, Commissioner Wong, returned to Hong Kong Island, his trial run as Commissioner of Police had expired.
Whatever conclusions those above reached, those below simply had to carry them out.
Precisely because of this, even as undercurrents stirred in other Hong Kong Government departments, the Police Force instead returned to a state of calm.
As for the turncoat holding the rank of Senior Superintendent within the Marine Police, he could not stir up any trouble at all.
After the two department heads, Kwan Man Chin and Mok Kam-chuen, discussed the matter, they directly issued a decision on how to deal with him in the names of the Political Investigation Department and the Internal Investigations Branch.
Of course, the Police Force core management would certainly have to be notified of the final outcome.
But that extended only as far as the Assistant Commissioner level, stopping at the desks of their respective superiors.
The Police Force had the authority to dismiss its Police Officers from public service, ask them to resign, and make other such decisions.
However, the man was, after all, a Senior Superintendent, a member of the Hong Kong Government's Commissioned Rank personnel.
Once the decision was issued, Government House would certainly still have to be notified, and the formal procedure through the Hong Kong Government Gazette followed.
The relevant personnel would naturally handle the relevant work.
Zhou Quan paid little further attention and had no inclination to concern himself with the turncoat. He returned to his daily routine of handling the Police Force's overall affairs.
