With the various departments of the Hong Kong Government working closely together, the No. 8 typhoon warning brought no chaos or disaster to Hong Kong Island.
Of course, the main reason was that something had changed with the typhoon code-named Haishen.
After all, human efforts were ultimately limited in the face of nature's terrifying power.
Super Typhoon Haishen, with winds approaching force eighteen, made a ninety-degree turn just as it was about to make landfall on Hong Kong Island.
Its original course changed, taking it straight toward the southeast of Hong Kong Island.
What delighted Zhou Quan even more was that Super Typhoon Haishen leisurely crossed the Taiwan Strait, heading directly toward Japan.
Although it stirred up some disturbances along the way in the regions of Mainland China that included Hong Kong Island and Taiwan, those areas were clearly no longer under threat from the super typhoon.
All that mattered was that home had come through safely in the end.
As for Japan, who cared? Zhou Quan certainly did not.
The fact that he had not laughed aloud at their misfortune already showed considerable restraint on his part.
Although Typhoon Haishen had changed course, that did not mean the various departments of the Hong Kong Government could completely relax.
After all, Hong Kong Island had still been affected to some extent, and the post-typhoon work had to continue.
However, the departments no longer needed to remain on high alert. They only needed to carry out their respective duties.
In the Top-Floor Conference Room at the Police Force's Tai Kwun, Zhou Quan convened the first core management meeting since the typhoon threat had ended.
In fact, it was only a small, closed-door meeting.
Zhou Quan chaired the meeting, attended by the two Police Force Deputy Commissioners, Lee Man-bun and Choi Yuen-kei,
