With Mo Chou brought to justice and the operations across three regions in two countries coming to a close,
the world's largest money laundering syndicate was officially destroyed in an operation led by the Hong Kong Island Police Force.
Under normal circumstances, the Police Force's Public Relations Department should have held a press conference immediately.
Such an enormous success would have enhanced the Police Force's reputation and increased its international influence.
However, DOA Group-or rather, Mo Chou herself-was also connected to Yi Tianxing of JC Group.
As a result, the case remained classified.
Getting Mo Chou to talk as quickly as possible and obtaining the location of JC Group's headquarters was now one of the National Security Department's central tasks.
Of course, the officers under them would handle the relevant interrogation procedures.
The five core members of the National Security Department's management, headed by Luo Danian, had instead returned to their quiet daily routines.
Above them, however, the success of this operation was brewing another great storm.
In the Commissioner's office on the top floor of Police Force Headquarters, Zhou Quan summoned the three dedicated Deputy Commissioners under his command.
"Sir!"
National Security DCP Lee Man-bun led the way. His temples had begun to turn gray, but he remained full of vigor.
He entered Zhou Quan's office with the younger DCP Operations Chow Sing Sing and Management DCP Lau Kit-fai.
"Have a seat over here!"
Zhou Quan, who had been working at his desk, immediately looked up and rose, pointing with a smile toward the nearby sofas.
"I asked the three of you here today mainly because there's something I'd like to discuss with you."
After inviting Lee Man-bun, Chow Sing Sing, and Lau Kit-fai to sit, Zhou Quan picked up the teapot, ready to get straight to the point.
