Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 1183 Calling a deer a horse

Upon hearing this, most of the dozens of people in the conference room showed a hint of shock in their eyes, and some were even a little confused. What was going on? Weren't they discussing the death of the criminal suspect? How did it turn out like this?

Hua Sheng stared intently at Zeng Xiangrong. He had no intention of being polite or pretentious with him anymore. He had sensed something when he saw Zeng Xiangrong appear in the conference room.

Previously, Zeng Xiangrong rarely attended meetings related to the case, and even when he did, he wouldn't offer any opinions, essentially remaining a nobody.

This time, all the superintendents working in the police force from the management department came. These were all leaders of their respective departments. If there wasn't a major operation, Watson would never believe it.

Seeing the surprise in Zeng Xiangrong's eyes, Hua Sheng's lips curled up slightly. He guessed that Zeng Xiangrong probably thought he would have his men engage in some verbal sparring with him. This direct confrontation was something Zeng Xiangrong probably never expected.

Zeng Xiangrong frowned slightly at this moment. This was indeed different from what he had expected. However, it didn't matter. Huang Bingyao was now being held back by the Director of Security. He was capable of confronting Hua Sheng.

If we can seize the case-handling rights from the Z Foundation, then this operation will be considered a complete success.

Looking at the confident Hua Sheng, Zeng Xiangrong smiled faintly: "Hua Sir is joking. As the Deputy Commissioner of Police, I am certainly qualified to raise my questions!"

Watson chuckled mockingly: "Do you know what I hate most about you? It's the way you were acting just now. You were so fake, you wanted me dead inside, but on the surface, you acted nonchalant and even had a smile on your face."

"What, do you think you're a celebrity, always wearing a fake smile?"

"You've always been a nobody, never attending many meetings about the case, but this time you brought all the superintendents from the management department to the meeting. Clearly, you're up to no good. Just use whatever methods you have, why are you pretending here? What the hell are you pretending for?"

Even with Zeng Xiangrong's excellent composure, he was furious at this moment, especially after hearing the last curse, which made the veins on his forehead throb twice.

"Wah Sir, we are all people of status, please watch your words!"

Watson scoffed at the other party's continued pretense, turning his head with a mocking and disdainful "tsk" sound.

Zeng Xiangrong gritted his teeth, glanced at the time on his watch, and seeing that it was almost time, immediately stood up, took out a document, slammed it on the table, and said, "Wah Sir, this is an official document from the Security Bureau, appointing me as the person in charge of this case involving the death of a criminal suspect in the police force. This is the entire Security Bureau..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Hua Sheng take the document, glance at it, and then pull out a lighter and light it. This left Zeng Xiangrong stunned, speechless, staring at Hua Sheng in disbelief.

"Are you crazy? This is the highest directive from the Security Bureau!"

Watson asked in confusion, "An order from the Security Bureau? Where is it? I didn't see it. Did anyone else see it?" He then asked his colleagues around him.

Ho Man-chin grinned: "What instructions? I didn't see them, Inspector Tsang. If you have any instructions from the Security Bureau, please show them to us. As long as you have these instructions, we will definitely follow the Security Bureau's instructions."

Chen Yongren smiled faintly: "Inspector Zeng, I didn't see any instructions from the Security Bureau. Are you drunk? Do you need me to have someone help you sober up?"

Li Wenbin glanced at the people around him and said with a smile, "Zeng Sir, are you getting old? You're tired after a long day and your mind isn't clear. Why don't you go back and rest? We can handle things here."

This person's words were even more venomous than anyone else's. The sarcasm in their voices made Zeng Xiangrong's face turn pale and then red, as if he were changing expressions. His finger trembled as he pointed at Hua Sheng and the others, and he stammered in anger, "You...you all..."

The management was completely dumbfounded. This was not what had been agreed upon before. These people in the management department were too bold. They actually dared to confront the deputy director of management like this.

The most formidable of all was Hua Sheng, who remained calm and collected at this moment. As he looked at the burning paper in his hand, the people in the management department swallowed hard.

Letting them play the power struggle game is fine, but if they were to go against a ruthless person like Watson, many people would still be afraid. It's like everyone is an office worker, but they're sent to fight against a fierce and ruthless general.

If the other party restrains themselves and plays within the rules, then of course the person sitting in the office is better. But if the other party doesn't care about the rules and breaks them directly, then it's clear who wins and who loses.

Watson looked at the piece of paper in his hand, which had burned to one corner, and threw it directly onto the conference table. He took out a cigarette, lit it, took a drag, and exhaled a smoke ring, saying, "Tsang Sir, what other cards do you have? Bring them out all at once, or else, hehe!"

He didn't say anything more, but everyone present understood. They all turned their gazes to Zeng Xiangrong, who was standing there, many with a hint of amusement in their eyes, wanting to see how he would respond.

Zeng Xiangrong gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and after regaining his composure, stared intently at Hua Sheng and said, "You actually dared to burn official documents from the Security Bureau..."

Before he could finish speaking, Watson said in surprise, "Where are the official documents from the Security Bureau? I didn't see them. I just asked, and no one else saw them either. You're saying the documents I burned were from the Security Bureau? Show me the evidence, or I'll sue you for defamation!"

Looking at Watson's amused smile, Zeng Xiangrong said coldly, "There are so many people in the meeting room, do you think you can shut them all up? If word gets out about what happened today, the consequences for you won't be good."

Watson raised an eyebrow: "Oh, there are more people, huh!" As he spoke, he glanced at the people around him and said, "I'm sure everyone saw it just now. Zeng Xiangrong, Sir Zeng, took out a document, then personally lit it and threw it in front of me. Now you're saying I burned the document? I'm really being wronged!"

"Everyone must testify for me that this document was burned by Inspector Tsang!"

Ma Jun laughed and shouted, "No problem, I saw it. It was Zeng Sir who burned it. If anyone dares to say that it was you, Hua Sir, who burned it, I'll fight them!"

“Yes, I saw it too. It was Zeng Sir who burned it,” Huang Tai added.
