On the afternoon the Three-Person Working Group returned to Police Force Headquarters, He Wenzhan, dressed in uniform, went straight upstairs to his boss Zhou Quan's office to report.
"Boss, Ah Biao's matter has been settled. The relevant documents have been issued and circulated."
Sitting upright before his boss, He Wenzhan gave a brief account of Cheung Tak Biu's situation.
Although he was not Yeung Kam Wing's direct superior, Zhou Quan had instructed him to keep an eye on developments at East Kowloon Regional Headquarters.
Now that everything had been settled, he naturally had to report to his boss.
"Go on!"
With his fingers interlaced on the desk, Zhou Quan nodded slowly.
As a Police Force Senior Superintendent and the head of the National Security Department's Action Group, He Wenzhan could not have made a special trip upstairs over such a minor matter.
Even if monitoring developments at East Kowloon Regional Headquarters had been Zhou Quan's personal instruction.
Ultimately, Cheung Tak Biu had only just crossed the threshold into the Police Force's Commissioned Rank.
Any news concerning him could have been reported by email through the Police Force's internal network.
Even if He Wenzhan wanted to show respect for his boss, a personal phone call would have been enough.
Cheung Tak Biu did not yet warrant a special trip upstairs.
Therefore, there had to be something else behind He Wenzhan's visit.
Moreover, his rigidly upright posture already said it all.
Even though He Wenzhan was one of the more rigid members of Zhou Quan's trusted inner circle, the two were never this solemn and formal in their everyday interactions.
Unless an important operation or case was involved.
"Boss, there's news from Happy Tiger!"
He Wenzhan sat even straighter as he reported the true reason for his visit in a low voice.
