Zhou Quan understood his uncle's sentiments very well.
Wong Bing Yiu and Lee Man-bun might be in their prime now, but they had devoted themselves to getting ahead in their younger years.
Both had married and had children much later than most ordinary people.
As a result, Zhou Quan's younger cousins were still just two little children.
Even if Wong Bing Yiu and Lee Man-bun could keep working in the Police Force until the maximum retirement age for Commissioned Rank officers, they had at most another twenty years.
Twenty years later, Huang Xiyue and Lee Family Ka-chun would still be nowhere near ready to carry the banner of the Lee Faction in the Police Force.
What was more, Huang Xiyue was a girl.
Thus, although the Lee Faction in the Police Force appeared to be flourishing, it had actually reached a point where the old guard had no successors ready to take over.
Without Zhou Quan, the Lee Faction would inevitably decline within the Police Force.
Even if its influence remained, control would certainly fall into other hands.
For instance, it might become Kong Chi Lap's Kong Faction, or Yang Zi'an's Yang Faction.
That was precisely why Zhou Quan had applied to the Police Academy without hesitation after successfully completing his studies.
In truth, the Lee Family elders had not initially expected Zhou Quan to join the Police Force.
After all, as a law master's graduate from one of the Foreigners' top universities, Zhou Quan had a broader and larger network in the legal world of Hong Kong Island, and even in the Foreigners' home country, than the Lee Faction did.
Had Zhou Quan entered the legal profession, he would certainly have been a rising star.
His future prospects would by no means have been confined to tiny Hong Kong
