HKTV: How is the Great Owl made?

"Mr. Governor, no one reported it to me, or anyone called me, and I didn't receive a call."

"By the way, this operation did not have my permission."

"What? You really don't know about this and you really didn't give the order, so why can your men act without authorization?"

"Do you know how serious the consequences of this matter are?"

On the phone, Peng Sudai shouted hysterically.

On the other side of the phone, Borodin said with a wry smile: "Well, Mr. Governor, this is a difficult thing for him to handle."

"If the Legislative Council really changes the relevant laws, then we, as the executive agency, must implement them unconditionally."

"You should know that every section chief under the Independent Commission Against Corruption has the right to independently exercise investigative powers."

"As long as there is definite evidence, we must do it. This is also the original intention of establishing the Independent Commission Against Corruption!"

"Fuck!"

Peng cursed angrily, but was reminded by Borodin.

Of course he knows that the laws passed by the Legislative Council and the integrity work must be implemented unconditionally.

There was no such thing before.

This year they are carrying out judicial reforms, and legislative reforms were originally designed to deal with Chinese people like Lin Yao.

But I didn't expect that this boomerang would directly hurt one of my own people.

"You are the boss of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Borodin. I ask you if there is any other way to remedy this?"

"I want Hanks to be released immediately, and I want him to do something for me." Peng Modai asked sharply.

Borodin answered on the other end of the phone:

"Mr. Governor, I just said that if it is a resolution passed by the Legislative Council, then Hanks must go through the Legislative Council's questioning."

"Only on our side can we lift the ban on him and release him. Otherwise, we are breaking the law."

"Is there no other way? Are you, the Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, just a decoration?"

Peng Modai's chest was filled with anger at this moment.

"There is no way, Mr. Governor, you have special rights. You can pardon Hanks first." Borodin replied.

But he quickly continued: "But I will not exercise your special rights, Mr. Governor."

"Because in this case, all the legislative reforms we have done before will be in vain."

"If you don't do it right, the whole Hong Kong Island will be in chaos. You don't want it to get bigger, right?"

Peng Modai said softly: "Commissioner Borodin, you are making me very passive, alas!"

After sighing, Peng Modai had no choice but to do anything.

Now that we have broken up with Lin Yao, we must not back down, otherwise we will be completely defeated.

Thinking of this, Peng Modai said to Borodin on the other side of the phone: "Commissioner Borodin, I have decided that a special order from the Governor must be issued."

"The ICAC must immediately stop its investigation into Hanks and reinstate him to work for me.

"I will have someone send a fax to you immediately regarding the governor's order. You should immediately order Cao Dehua to release Hanks, do you understand?"

"Okay, Mr. Governor, since you have issued a special order from the Governor, I will definitely follow the order!!" Borodin replied.

Borodin is a British citizen, so of course he will consider the interests of the British people.

Although he has a very good relationship with Lei Yingdong and the chartering king, he still doesn't know Lin Yao until now.

Even if he knew Lin Yao, he would still side with the British people.

But he is an expert in law.

I have been a lawyer for 12 years and respect the law.

He knew that it must be illegal for Peng Modai to do so much.

But he still considered the problem from the so-called overall situation in his mind. After hesitating for a few minutes, he then picked up the phone and dialed a phone number.

The owner of this number is Cao Dehua.

But the call was connected, but no one answered.

He didn't put down the phone until the phone hung up automatically, and then called again, but the result was still the same.

Then he asked his secretary to call Cao Dehua's number, but the call was still answered, and no one answered.

By this time, he had already understood that Cao Dehua must have been planning for a long time.

He's not answering the phone now, either because he didn't answer the phone on purpose, or because he didn't have the phone with him.

Borodin thought for a moment and immediately placed a call from Henry, the deputy commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption and his right-hand man. After the call was connected, he said to the other side of the phone

"Henry, come to my office right away. Mr. Governor just called me. He has something very important to discuss with you!!"

"Okay, Mr. Borodin, I'll be there soon.

Ten minutes later, Henry came to Borodin's office.

After Borodin asked Henry to sit down, he told what Peng Modai had said to him.

And about the loss of contact with Cao Dehua, he told Henry exactly.

"This matter is very difficult. Do you have any ideas?"

Borodin handed Henry a cigar. He asked with a frown.

After taking the cigar, Henry lit it with a lighter and then said:

"Since Mr. Governor has issued a special order, we must carry it out. As for Cao Dehua, I suggest that we immediately use technical means to locate Cao Dehua, find him, and ask him to release Hanks."

"Okay, Mr. Governor."

Afterwards, Baoloting picked up the phone, and after answering the call, he said to the person on the other side of the phone: "Technical department? I'm Borodin. Would you like your Section Chief Xu to come to my office?"

After hanging up the phone, Peng Modai asked: "Commissioner Borodin, this Cao Dehua no longer listens to our orders, and it is very likely that he will be pulled over by Lin Yao. You must be aware of this."

"This person cannot be trusted anymore. Please ask Section Chief Xu Yi from the Technical Department to come to your place later."

"You have to know what's going on, and don't want him to backstab us too."

Borodin said: "According to our previous ideas, this person is to be the next commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. This kind of person must be carefully investigated."

"Then what should we do? Mr. Governor, he knows people but not hearts. It seems that he is quite loyal to us, even though he is a local.

Peng Modai took a puff of cigar and said: "Now I can only go to the technical department in person and give Xu Yi a direct order. Only if I testify in person can I ensure everything is safe."

"Okay, Mr. Governor, I think so too. Only you can control it."

Peng Modai nodded, and then asked Borodin to leave.

He needs to take a moment to calm down and think about it.

Too many things happened in this day, and he felt that he couldn't control it.

Borodin's brows were furrowed as he walked out of Peng Modai's office.

He had an ominous premonition in his heart.

…

The other side!

Saigon!

Compared with Peng Modai and Borodin, Police Commissioner Hanks is more anxious.

Along with the ICAC official car. Getting further and further away from metropolitan areas.

At this moment, he was panicking and shouted sharply at Cao Dehua who was sitting in the passenger compartment:

"Director Cao, what do you mean? Is your Independent Commission Against Corruption office located in the suburbs? This is either Yuen Long or Sai Kung."

Cao Dehua took a puff of cigarette and said: "Director Hanks, of course our ICAC office is not just the ICAC building."

"Just like your police force also has many secret bases for interrogating prisoners, our Independent Commission Against Corruption is even more so, because the people we want to interrogate are all officials like you."

"I can tell you that that is our secret base, so everything I do is reasonable and legal."

"Reasonable and legal? Let me warn you, if you cheat this time, Mr. Governor will not let you go."

By this time, no matter how low your IQ is, your brain is dulling.

Hanks could guess that Cao Dehua must be Lin Yao's man, or had been bribed by Lin Yao.

Since so many members of the Legislative Council can be bribed by Lin Yao, the entire civil service system on Hong Kong Island is already riddled with holes, and being infiltrated by Lin Yao is like a cat in a bullpen.

Thinking of this, although Hanks hated Lin Yao very much, he had to admire Lin Yao's calculations.

He is truly a Hong Kong legend.

However, Hanks does not think that Lin Yao can win the final victory in the battle with the British. The reason is very simple. This is Hong Kong Island, and there are still several years left before the victory.

Whether in terms of international law or Hong Kong Island's local laws, Hong Kong Island has been governed by the British in recent years.

Governor Peng Modai had countless resources to use against Lin Yao.

Maybe Peng Modai hasn't reacted because something happened so suddenly, but after Peng Modai does, dealing with Lin Yao will not be a piece of cake.

Lin Yao may have a very high IQ, or he may have been winning in recent years.

But it doesn't matter to the Hong Kong Governor's Government. As long as Lin Yao loses once,

Then, what awaits Lin Yao is not only the collapse of his business empire, but also his entire person will disappear from this world.

From Hanks' point of view, he is only suffering a temporary setback now, and 100% of the consequences for Lin Yao will be a complete failure.

After thinking about this, Hanks was no longer as nervous as before, and his whole expression relaxed.

He also asked the Independent Commission Against Corruption staff nearby to roll down the car window and admire the pastoral scenery outside.

After admiring the scenery for a while, Hanks looked at Cao Dehua and said:

"Director Cao Dehua, your ranking in the Independent Commission Against Corruption is not high. According to my guess, you should be ranked fifth, right?"

"If you cooperate with me, I will be able to recommend you to the Governor-General as the next ICAC Commissioner."

"There is no future for you following Lin Yao. There are still seven years before the wine paint, and we have plenty of room for maneuver in these seven years."

"You'd better think about it calmly. If you fall, don't blame me for not reminding you."

From Hanks' point of view, he could never imagine that Cao Dehua, who had a bright future, would actually cooperate with Lin Yao.

You must know that Cao Dehua has won the title of Outstanding Investigator at the Independent Commission Against Corruption for 10 consecutive years.

He was also the first batch of Chinese investigation officers to be promoted.

There was once a senior police superintendent, a British national, who was willing to pay 5 million to the task force leader Cao Dehua to let him go because he had broken the law, but Cao Dehua was completely indifferent.

It was precisely because this incident was learned by the media that Cao Dehua became famous.

He has been with the Independent Commission Against Corruption for 12 years.

There were no less than 50 officials and Qiao Zi who were pulled down by him. At least half of these 50 people were cases that other investigators did not dare to handle.

Therefore, Cao Dehua can be said to be a star investigator trusted by Hong Kong Islanders.

In Hanks's opinion, how could he cooperate with someone like Lin Yao who went from a society to the department? Of course, he also knew that Lin Yao had been an undercover agent.

But he had never been a cop in a legitimate way.

He had been sent to be an undercover agent when he was in Wong Chuk Hang Police Academy.

Many undercover agents like this resign automatically every year in Hong Kong Island and become real underworld figures.

It was precisely because Cao Dehua did this that Hanks was a little confused.

After hearing what Hanks said, Cao Dehua also rolled down the window of the passenger seat, took a puff of cigarette, and said lightly:

"Director Hanks, I am different from you. You are a Great British. You also know that you will be drunk in 7 years. You have to pack up and go home."

"You have no feelings for this land at all. You come here to make money, but I am different. I am a local."

"This is my hometown, so I will stop everything that destroys Hong Kong Island. What I want is the long-term stability of Hong Kong Island."

"The officialdom in Hong Kong Island is upright and clean. Perhaps these you I don't understand."

"Of course I understand, Director Cao, if you want to be even worse off"

"Then you shouldn't treat me like this, because my position is the same as yours."

"Although I am a British, I still love Hong Kong Island very much. You have no doubt about this, no one loves Hong Kong Island more than me."

"You should know that my wife is from Hong Kong Island, although she doesn't live in Hong Kong Island"

"In addition, you should also know that I donate a lot of money to Chinese schools every year. Do you think other officials will donate money to your Chinese schools?

"Who is Lin Yao? You know better than anyone that he is a businessman now"

"But in recent years he has been a thorough criminal. Although he is an undercover, his methods are very cunning."

"This time I want to thoroughly investigate. All the evidence of his crimes in the past three years of undercover career, and bring him to justice."

Cao Dehua took a puff of cigarette and said disdainfully: "Haha, Director Hanks, don't act so righteous in front of me. "

"What has Mr. Lin done in the past few years? I know it in my heart. You have only been transferred to be the Commissioner of Police for more than a year."

"Although your wife is from Hong Kong Island, you met her when you were in Liverpool."

"Besides, I know you have many mistresses outside, and you have a lot of mistresses!"

"You have a lot of romantic affairs, so don't tell me those words about loving Hong Kong Island, I will spit them out."

After saying that, Cao Dehua no longer paid attention to Hanks.

He just put one hand on the car window and smoked quietly.

He looked very calm, and didn't take the crisis that might come next seriously at all.

What Hanks didn't know was that it was precisely because of him that Cao Dehua would personally take action. (End of this chapter)
