Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 824 Li Shutang's Plan

But this matter involves too many things. If you are not careful, not to mention retiring gloriously, it would be terrible if you were fired just before retirement.

Huang Bingyao saw that no one spoke, so he immediately said, "I think Watson is right. He has worked his way up from the front line. The way he described the response is very good. I support him."

Hearing this, Li Shutang was silent for a moment, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "This matter is quite serious. I need to think about it. Everyone, go back and think carefully about how to deal with it. We'll have a meeting tomorrow morning to finalize it."

Watson frowned. Tomorrow morning, what about tonight?

Huang Bingyao frowned and asked, "What should we do tonight? We can't just let those people in like this!"

Li Shutang paused and said, "Tonight, we'll temporarily follow Watson's instructions. We'll have the various police dog teams, PTUs, and uniformed personnel take turns on duty. The Serious Crime Squad, Narcotics Bureau, and Organized Crime and Triad Bureau personnel will serve as a support group, stationed at the scene to prevent criminals and assassins from forcing their way through the checkpoints!"

"Okay, that's it for today's meeting, let's disperse!"

Everyone left the meeting room with complicated expressions, while Li Shutang sat on the chair and sighed. This matter was too big, and coupled with his age, he really felt a little overwhelmed.

An hour later, in the office of Security Bureau Director Parker, Li Shutang handed over a report with a serious expression.

After reading it, Parker frowned and said, "Lee, are you sure you want to retire early?"

Li Shutang nodded and said, "Yes, Chief Parker, I haven't been in good health recently. I'm also getting older. I don't have the energy to go to work every day, and my mind isn't very clear. I'm afraid of delaying the police force's work, so I plan to retire early. Please approve it!"

Parker sighed, then said, "If you leave, what will happen to the position of Commissioner of Police?"

Li Shutang immediately said, "Don't worry, sir. Deputy Commissioner of Operations Wong Bing-yiu is also a veteran of the police force. He started out as a frontline officer and rose through the ranks to become Deputy Commissioner of Operations. He is also very good at management. When he was the Commissioner of the West Kowloon Regional Police Station, he led the police station to great success!"

Parker thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll approve it, but this report still needs to be submitted. It will only take effect after the Governor personally reviews it."

Li Shutang asked hesitantly, "Sir, can you help me? I'm very anxious."

Parker was stunned for a moment, then looked deeply at Li Shutang and said slowly, "Okay, Li, you helped me a lot when you were the Commissioner of Police. This time, it's my turn to help you. Let's go, I'll take you to see the Governor."

Half an hour later, Li Shutang met with the governor and proposed early retirement. The governor did not ask many questions, just asked about his successor, and then signed the early retirement application.

After all, it was brought by the Secretary for Security, and it was just an application for early retirement, which was not a big deal, so he signed it decisively.

It was at this moment that Li Shutang successfully resigned from the position of Commissioner of Police, and his successor was the Deputy Commissioner of Operations of the Police Force - Wong Bing-yiu!

Of course, Huang Bingyao didn't know all this. When Li Shutang returned to the police force with his early retirement application, he went straight to Huang Bingyao's office and handed him the application.

Huang Bingyao was still a little confused. What the hell was this?

He took it and looked at it, his face changed immediately, and he shouted in surprise: "What, you applied for early retirement?"

Li Shutang nodded calmly, pointed to the application and said, "You can see it too. It has the signatures of the Secretary for Security and the Governor."

"No, how could it be so fast? You are the boss of the police force after all. Doesn't this kind of thing require layers of approval?" Huang Bingyao asked anxiously.

Li Shutang smiled awkwardly and said, "The approval process is normal. I just... used some connections, so it was a little faster."

"Isn't this a little too fast? A few hours ago, you were still in the conference room saying that we would hold a meeting tomorrow to determine a solution, but now you have come up with an application for early retirement. What do you mean by this?" Huang Bingyao shouted in dissatisfaction.

Li Shutang sighed and said, "Watson is a talented person, but he's too prone to getting into trouble. The William incident just ended a few days ago, and now this kind of thing has happened again. If I can't handle it well, I can't even think about retiring in glory, so I've resorted to this last resort."

"Old Huang, I know your abilities. Even if I leave, you won't have any problems taking over. You'll also have Watson to help you. Only you can handle a troublemaker like him. I can't handle it, so I'm leaving now."

Huang Bingyao: “…”

"No, you just ran away like that?"

Li Shutang said helplessly, "We have to run. This 100 million Hong Kong dollars will not only attract assassins, gang members, and gangsters, but also mercenaries. They are powerful mercenaries, and the Flying Tigers are no match for them. If these people come to Hong Kong Island and cause trouble, who do you think will take the blame?"

Huang Bingyao opened his mouth and said, "If Li Shutang ran away, then he would have to take the blame!"

Fuck!

At this moment, Huang Bingyao felt as miserable as if he had been fucked by a dog.

"You are only talking about the worst case scenario, and Watson is so capable, I believe he can handle it..." Looking at Li Shutang's expression of "you are kidding me", Huang Bingyao's voice became smaller and smaller.

"Well, even if this matter is troublesome, it doesn't have to lead to early retirement!"

Li Shutang said with a bitter expression, "I really feel like I'm having some issues with my health. Lately, I've been feeling weak all over, and my mind has been a bit hazy. I plan to go to the hospital tomorrow for a thorough checkup, but I was too busy earlier and didn't have time to go."

"From now on, it really depends on you, Old Huang!" He stood up and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped. Looking at Huang Bingyao, he said solemnly and with a hint of pleading, "Old Huang, I have never asked you for anything in my life. This time, I beg you to give my son Wenbi a chance in the future."

Huang Bingyao was of course aware of the opportunity Li Shutang was talking about, but he didn't agree. Instead, he shook his head slightly and said, "Forget about the position of Deputy Director of Operations. He's not just supported by me, but also by Director Fan and the others."

"As for the future competition for the position of director, I can choose to treat them fairly and see who does a better job. However, I believe that Watson can definitely do a better job than your son Li Wenbin."

Li Shutang smiled and said, "We'll talk about the future later. I'm already very grateful that you gave him a chance. Now, let's go fishing together, Lao Huang, when we have time."
