Hong Kong film: After three years undercover, he still says I'm not a cop?

【009】Yazi

Lin Haowen and Li Wenbin talked in the interrogation room for a full hour, and no one else knew what they talked about.

"Ah Man, you should know Wong Bing-Yiu, Inspector Wong. I won't introduce you. If you need anything in the future, just contact him directly."

When Huang Bingyao returned to the interrogation room, he noticed that Li Wenbin had changed how he addressed Lin Haowen.

This also raised a question in Huang Bingyao's mind. Li Wenbin rarely treated people in this way. What exactly did Lin Haowen say to Li Wenbin?

"I'll be relying on you from now on, Inspector Wong."

Lin Haowen smiled and nodded to Huang Bingyao in greeting.

"No problem, we're all on the same side."

A smile appeared on Huang Bingyao's face.

Huang Bingyao felt sorry for the unfortunate young man who had been deceived for three years. He was fortunate to gain Li Wenbin's appreciation and have a good outcome, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.

However, what Li Wenbin said next stunned Huang Bingyao on the spot.

"Inspector Wong, send someone to take him to the main detention cell now."

"what?"

Huang Bingyao was a little confused. How could he have been taken care of one second and then sent to a detention cell the next? And it was a large detention cell, where a dozen or twenty suspects were usually kept. People were usually locked up there to torture them.

"Thank you for your hard work, Inspector Wong."

Lin Haowen was very polite and smiled as he thanked Huang Bingyao for his hard work.

Suppressing his doubts, Huang Bingyao instructed one of his trusted men to take Lin Haowen to the detention center before returning to Li Wenbin's office as quickly as possible.

"Why do you want to know?"

Looking at Huang Bingyao's curious expression, Li Wenbin asked casually.

"Of course! This kid's already had such bad luck, you wouldn't kick him when he's down, would you?"

Huang Bingyao replied irritably.

"Didn't we select three big circle members who were former police officers to infiltrate the big circle gang? Lock them up with Lin Haowen, make them help Lin Haowen once, get in touch with Lin Haowen, and then work for Lin Haowen in the future."

Li Wenbin ignored Huang Bingyao's words and continued speaking to himself.

"what?"

Huang Bingyao was stunned again.

"You should know what kind of background Lin Haowen has. Even I wouldn't promote him under the noses of the Americans. By the time the people from the north take over Hong Kong, he'll be too old."

"He's a talented man; he shouldn't have spent his whole life as an unknown uniformed policeman."

Li Wenbin said calmly.

"So, you're going to...?"

Before Huang Bingyao could finish speaking, Li Wenbin interrupted him, saying, "It wasn't me who prepared it; he prepared it himself."

"Bingyao, Lin Haowen didn't finish what he said, but I understand what he meant. People in the west control the present, and people in the east control the future. People like us who are neither in the east nor the west are nobody in the eyes of either side."

"For them, our biggest role is to restrain their pieces. For us, only by increasing our own weight as much as possible can we have some autonomy in this game."

At this point, Li Wenbin sighed softly, "Over the years, to outsiders, I seem to have a lot of success with you brothers supporting me. But only I know that every step I've taken has been like walking on thin ice."

"Bingyao, do you think I can make it to the other side?"

At this moment, Huang Bingyao's expression also turned serious. After pondering for a moment, he slowly said, "Do your best and leave the rest to fate."

"Lin Haowen is in the same situation as us. We control his present, while the people in the east control his future. I'm curious to see what he will do."

Although Li Wenbin said this, his tone remained calm.

No matter how outrageous a nobody is, they can only arouse the curiosity of big shots, but they will not stir up even the slightest ripple in the hearts of big shots.

The reason is simple: the weight is too light.

Now that you mention it, I'm a little curious too.

Huang Bingyao shook his head and smiled.

"You don't have time to be curious; Lin Haowen has given me a very substantial pledge of allegiance..."

Li Wenbin recounted the case details Lin Haowen had told him, and then continued, "An informant for a drug dealer can be repeatedly promoted within the police force and even enter the police force's talent pool."

"If it weren't for this incident, he could have even been promoted to chief inspector and become part of the police force's management. Someone has to be held accountable for this."

"Take your men to Jinling Building on Yaodi Road right now to retrieve the evidence left by Lin Haowen and solidify Han Chen's case. The Americans have been keeping you in the position of superintendent for so long; it's time they loosened their grip."

Upon hearing this, Huang Bingyao's expression turned serious, and he slowly nodded.

"Remember, erase Lin Haowen's traces from the case."

Li Wenbin's tone was calm, but it made Huang Bingyao's expression harden. "You mean, Lin Haowen, he..."

"This kid said he was awakened by a fire, but there wasn't a single mark on his body, and even his clothes were newly changed. He was afraid I wouldn't be able to tell that he was offering his pledge of loyalty."

Li Wenbin said calmly.

"Haha, this kid is interesting. I'll definitely arrange a grand show for him."

Huang Bingyao laughed, greeted Li Wenbin, and then turned and left.

……

A dozen minutes later, in Huang Bingyao's office.

"It must be completely natural; absolutely no one can tell you're lying. Do you understand?"

Huang Bingyao, microphone in hand, was giving instructions to his subordinates with great enthusiasm.

'Knock knock knock~'

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Huang Bingyao put down the microphone and began to speak.

Soon, the door was pushed open, and a young woman walked into Huang Bingyao's office. Even her loose uniform couldn't hide her outstanding figure. Coupled with her slightly chubby and beautiful face, the extreme contrast gave her a unique charm.

The two flowers on her uniform shoulder indicate her status as an inspector.

"PC1559, reporting for duty!"

The young woman spoke politely, but her tone carried a hint of anger.

"Ya Zi, it's just the two of us here, there's no need to be so serious."

Huang Bingyao's face revealed a fawning smile that even Li Wenbin had never seen before.

"In the workplace, there are only superior-subordinate relationships, not father-daughter relationships."

Ya Zi still had a stern face.

"Ya Zi, I admit that it was wrong of me to withhold your application to transfer to the Red Powder Unit without consulting you, but you are my only daughter. Can you try to see things from my perspective? I just don't want you to take any risks."

Huang Bingyao looked helpless.

"You are my father, you should know that from childhood to adulthood, my dream has been to be a policeman, not a policeman sitting in an office drinking tea and writing documents, but a policeman who actually catches thieves."

Yazi looked at her father's somewhat weathered face, and although she said those words, her tone had softened a bit.

"Alright, this time I'll let you handle a case and be a real police officer for once. Take your men to Jinling Building immediately..."

Huang Bingyao knew that Han Chen's case could bring great benefits to their "local faction," and of course, his daughter would benefit as well.

"Yes, sir!"

When Ya Zi heard that she could finally solve a case, her eyes lit up, and she put her legs together and shouted loudly at Huang Bingyao.

Soon, a piece of news caused a sensation throughout the West Kowloon region.

Senior Inspector Lau Kin-ming of the Criminal Intelligence Bureau is Han Chen's mole within the police force. Last night, during the arrest operation he commanded, Lau Kin-ming led Han Chen to escape the police's encirclement.

The two were involved in a car accident while fleeing to Tseung Kwan O and both died.

Many people in the West Kowloon Regional Headquarters know that Lau Kin-ming is a close associate of Superintendent Chan Ming-yan of the Ministry of the Interior, and Chan Ming-yan is from the Special Branch. In short, they are both "pro-hawks".

Now that Lau Kin-ming, this rising star heavily promoted by the "pro-hawks," has run into such a big problem, the West Kowloon Regional Headquarters is bound to experience a "political earthquake."

However, Lin Haowen, the mastermind behind all of this, disappeared without a trace in this case.

That same evening, a dramatic scene unfolded quietly in the West Kowloon Regional Detention Center.
