Chapter 1169 Scolding Li Wenbin
Chapter 1169 Scolding Li Wenbin
At this time, all the people who had gathered under the government building had been dispersed. When Watson arrived, he saw Liu Jianming escorting some people to leave.
If Watson persuaded most people to leave by relying on his own reputation, then Li Wenbin's approach was to suppress them with force.
During this process, he will arrest anyone who dares to resist!
Although it has certain side effects, it is the fastest way to achieve results.
"Mr. Hua, we have basically handled the situation here. Mr. Li has been called up by Mr. Philip, the Chief Secretary for Administration."
Watson looked at Liu Jianming, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and raised his eyebrows and said, "Whatever you have to say, just say it all at once!"
Liu Jianming frowned slightly, and after moving closer, he whispered, "Philip's attitude isn't very good. He probably asked Li Sir to go up and reprimand him."
Watson sneered: "Philip dares to scold my people?" After that, he led his men directly into the government building.
Watson is no longer the minion he used to be. He is now the Deputy Commissioner of Operations of the Police Force. The Commissioner of Police is called the Big Brother, so there is nothing wrong with him being called the Second Brother.
Seeing this, Liu Jianming immediately brought his men to follow behind him. Sometimes, having a large number of people is also a kind of energy.
When the people in the lobby on the first floor of the Administrative Affairs Bureau saw the police officers coming in aggressively, they were all stunned. A few people wanted to step forward to stop them, but were stopped by Liu Jianming and his men.
Watson led everyone into the elevator, and those who couldn't fit in took the stairs next to it.
When he arrived at the floor where the Chief Secretary for Administration was, he had just come out of the elevator when he heard Philip's scolding.
"What the hell are you doing here, Police? You actually let so many people into the Government Secretariat Building. Do you know how much of a blow this is to the reputation of the Hong Kong government?"
"The Hong Kong government spends so much money supporting you every year, and this is the result?"
Li Wenbin stood aside with a grim expression, not daring to interrupt. He was well aware of the status gap between the two parties.
As the Chief Secretary for Administration, he is second only to the Chief Secretary in Hong Kong Island. Even the Secretary for Justice and the Financial Secretary are slightly weaker than him.
Only the Governor can suppress the Chief Secretary for Administration.
Now his father Li Shutang has retired. Although the relationship still exists, the Li family has eventually declined. He can no longer provoke a big shot like the Chief Secretary for Administration.
"Commander Phillips, please be clear. Our police force is paid by taxpayers, and isn't our performance good enough? The crowds were dispersed in such a short time. Doesn't this demonstrate the capabilities of our police force?"
As he spoke, Watson walked directly into the conference room. In addition to Philip, there were also leaders and members of the Administrative Affairs Department and the Financial Department.
Hearing Watson's words, Philip's pupils shrank slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He would never forget this voice and appearance until his death.
"Mr. Hua, you only talked about how quickly they dispersed. Why didn't you tell us why these people gathered downstairs in the government building?"
An official from the Administrative Affairs Department stood up and looked at Watson who had barged in, and asked a question in a cold tone.
Watson glanced at him and said calmly, "Why? Because the police released information about the criminal? Or because the police touched someone else's cake? It can't be yours, right? Are you also involved in the Z Fund, planning to launder and embezzle money? It seems that I have to ask you to return to the police department to assist in the investigation."
"You...!" The official from the Administrative Affairs Department did not expect Watson to be so bold. He actually wanted to arrest him in front of so many leaders. It was simply lawless.
"Sir Hua, you have such an imposing authority, you're always trying to arrest people from the Secretary for Administration. Do you even care about the existence of the Chief Secretary for Administration? Chief Secretary Philip is still sitting here, do you have any say?"
A fake foreigner wearing glasses stood up and looked at Watson sharply, attacking him mercilessly.
Watson glanced at him, not even wanting to speak. He looked at Philip and said in a deep voice, "Li Wenbin is a member of our police force. Even if he did something wrong, there will be police rules to teach him how to do things. What's more, not only did he not do anything wrong, but he did a very good job."
"He dispersed the crowd in such a short time, preventing further unrest. I don't know what you think, Director Phillip, but in my eyes, Li Wenbin is a hero. What do you think?"
Fan Weili coughed and said calmly, "The police force has done a good job in this regard. They are very efficient!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, the leaders of the Finance Department also echoed him.
"Yes, the police force was really efficient this time, both in terms of the speed of responding and dispersing the crowd."
"Well, this is a huge improvement compared to the previous speed!"
Philip looked at Fan Weili deeply, then looked at Watson and said coldly, "I've heard a saying that goes, 'Good deeds are good deeds, bad deeds are bad deeds.' No matter how efficient the police force is, it can't offset the fact that these people gathered because of the police."
"Moreover, the police force released information about the case without consulting higher authorities, causing panic among countless people on Hong Kong Island. This is a very serious criminal case and must be dealt with seriously."
"Chief Parker, what do you think?"
As he spoke, everyone's eyes turned to Parker, the director of the Security Bureau. He was slightly startled, and then a smile appeared on his stiff face.
"I agree with Secretary Philip's statement that the police force did not inform the Security Bureau before the operation. Under such circumstances, they privately released case information, causing panic in Hong Kong Island. This should indeed be dealt with seriously."
Fan Weili looked over intently. "Chief Parker, I have a different opinion. The police force discussed the case with the Finance Department long before releasing the information. They also contacted external aid and asked them to help Hong Kong Island overcome its difficulties."
"Whether it's the Landlords' Association or the Z Fund, these are cancers plaguing Hong Kong Island. If they're not eradicated soon, Hong Kong Island will become weaker and weaker due to their existence, and eventually become a situation where it's impossible to shake them off."
"Also, the information regarding the Landlords Association and the Z Fund was discussed with the Governor long ago. Saying this now shows you don't respect the Governor!"
When Parker heard this, his face froze. He didn't want to speak in the first place because he was worried about this situation. He didn't expect it to happen in the end. He was really screwed.
