Zhang Peng fell silent and made no further futile attempts to argue or resist.
Lee Family Ka-chun, standing before him, likewise made no further move.
Whatever the circumstances, Zhang Peng's rank in Mainland China's government system was beyond question.
Even if he was to be formally arrested, that was not something a Police Force Inspector like him had the authority to do.
Until his superiors arrived, he only needed to maintain the current situation and ensure that the other man could neither resist nor escape.
Of course, even if Zhang Peng wanted to flee, there was nothing he could do now.
Out on this vast, boundless sea, the speedboat was already under the control of Lee Family Ka-chun and the other Intelligence Group officers. He could hardly jump straight into the sea.
"Vroom, vroom, vroom!"
Amid the roar of engines, the Marine Police and Flying Tigers' high-speed pursuit boats closed in around them.
Then the command launch slowly cut through the waves and pulled alongside the speedboat.
Lau Bo-keung led the way, bringing Yeung Kam Wing and Guan Zu before Zhang Peng.
The speedboat was not particularly large, so Lau Bo-keung had brought only Yeung Kam Wing and Guan Zu aboard.
The other officers remained stationed on the surrounding police vessels with their guns.
Only Lau Bo-keung, as the overall commander of the current operation, had the authority to formally arrest Zhang Peng.

Lau Bo-keung displayed an Arrest Warrant before Zhang Peng, his manner polite yet firm.
His position gave him the authority to issue most Arrest Warrants.
But this particular warrant was a different matter. It bore the signature and official seal of his Big Sir, Luo Danian.
That was only
