Gathering intelligence on covert criminal activities within Hong Kong Island had merely been an unexpected gain for He Wenzhan and the Operations Security Department.
His and his men's actual duty was still to track the operations personnel whom the DOA Group would certainly send into Hong Kong Island to seize Ma Latang by force.
With shifts running twenty-four hours a day and intelligence networks on both sides of the law operating at full capacity.
All manner of clues were eventually compiled at the Operations Command Centre.
At that moment, several senior officers from the National Security Department’s Three Major Departments sat gathered in a glass office inside the Operations Command Centre.
As the commander of the actual operation, He Wenzhan took the head seat without hesitation.
Seated around him were Pang Yik-hang, Yeung Chi-lung, Chan Chi-kit, Guan Zu, Su Kin-chiu, and the others.
The presence of the Operations Security Department's senior officers went without saying, as they were the direct commanders of the teams responsible for closing the net.
As for Chan Chi-kit and Su Kin-chiu, they were attending the meeting on behalf of their superiors and coordinating with the Operations Security Department.
Lau Bo-keung and Chan Kwok-wah's absence could essentially be put down to two reasons.
The first was to establish He Wenzhan's command authority, and the second was that both men had other duties to attend to.
Lau Bo-keung was keeping a close eye on the purge within the Police Force alongside his capable subordinate, Yeung Kam Wing.
By comparison, things were undoubtedly much more relaxed and leisurely on Chan Kwok-wah's end.
With him as a companion, Thai Police Major General Withaya was sightseeing around Hong Kong Island.
Since no outsiders were attending that day's meeting, they had simply arranged to hold it inside the Operations Command Centre.
