Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 625: Revealing Li Zicheng's Identity

He patted Li Zicheng on the shoulder with a bold smile on his face: "Let's go, let's toast to our tomorrow together!"

Li Zicheng looked at Ding Qing, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.

He knew that this decision would completely change their fate, but he also knew that Ding Qing's choice was right.

Rather than being inferior to others, it is better to give it a try.

The two men pushed open the door of the private room and returned to Watson.

The previous hesitation was no longer on Ding Qing's face, instead there was an unprecedented determination.

He looked directly at Watson, his tone steady and powerful: "Mr. Hua, we have decided. The Peking University sect is willing to join Xin Hongtai and become the Seoul branch."

Watson smiled slightly, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "Very good, President Ding, you will not regret this decision."

At Ding Qing's call, the waiter quickly brought a table of sumptuous Chinese food.

Ding Qing knew clearly that Korean dishes were not good enough to be presented in front of guests from Hong Kong Island like those from Xin Hongtai.

He himself often complains about the food in Seoul, which is one of the reasons why he likes to visit Hong Kong Island and Macau - the food there is a real enjoyment.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the atmosphere gradually became relaxed.

However, just when everyone thought that the banquet was about to end successfully, Watson suddenly fixed his eyes on Li Zicheng, and said in a calm tone with a hint of deep meaning: "I believe you also played a role in Ding Qing's agreement to join Xin Hongtai. So, Officer Li, you should have made your choice as well, right?"

"What?" Ding Qing was stunned for a moment, thinking he had heard wrongly.

He turned to look at Watson and found that the other person's expression was serious and there was no intention of joking at all.

Ding Qing's heart sank suddenly and he immediately turned to look at Li Zicheng.

At this moment, Li Zicheng's face turned pale in an instant, his eyes became erratic, and fine beads of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

His brain was working rapidly, trying to find a way to deal with the situation, but his inner panic made it difficult for him to calm down for a while.

Seeing Li Zicheng like this, Ding Qing felt a pain in his heart as if it was cut by a knife. He gritted his teeth, forced a smile, turned to Watson and said, "Mr. Hua, are you mistaken? Zicheng has been with me for many years, how could he be a police officer?"

Watson did not answer immediately, but looked at Ding Qing deeply, then sighed: "President Ding, it is really a lifetime honor to have a brother like you."

After saying that, he turned his gaze back to Li Zicheng, and his tone softened a little: "Don't worry, I don't mean to harm you. Ding Qing will choose Xin Hongtai, I guess you also agree, otherwise you wouldn't make a decision so quickly."

"We have professional computer technicians who can help you delete the information about your undercover work in the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency. However, you will need to handle the rest by yourself."

A-Zu's good brother Max is the top hacker. His skills are first-class in the entire industry, and it is not difficult for him to delete the data of the police department.

When Ding Qing heard this, he shut up immediately. He knew that the most important thing now was to see how Li Zicheng would choose. No matter what decision Li Zicheng made, as the eldest brother, he would support him unconditionally.

Li Zicheng took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself down.

The cold sweat on his back reminded him how thrilling the moment just now was.

He stood up, bowed deeply to Watson, and said sincerely: "Mr. Hua, I understand. I will take care of this matter. Thank you for saving my life!"

As long as the undercover information in the police department is deleted, Li Zicheng only needs to get rid of those people who know his identity, and his undercover identity will become a secret forever. Of course, this secret does not include Watson, Ding Qing and others.

Ding Qing also stood up and bowed solemnly to Watson and Wei Jixiang: "Thank you all for saving Zicheng's life. I, Ding Qing, will remember this matter and will repay you in the future!"

Ding Qing had fully reacted at this moment. Although Li Zicheng's undercover identity shocked him, since Li Zicheng chose to stand on his side, that was enough. Brotherhood was far more important than identity.

Watson stood up, helped Ding Qing up, and said in a steady tone: "President Ding, I helped Li Zicheng because of your face. After all, you and Li Zicheng will both be our Xin Hongtai people in the future. It is also our duty to help our own people remove obstacles."

He paused and continued, "After I go back tonight, I will ask Xin Hongtai's computer technicians to delete the undercover information in the police department. I hope you can handle the rest of the matter properly."

Ding Qing nodded solemnly: "Please rest assured, Mr. Hua, we will handle this matter well and there will be no future troubles."

Watson nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I believe President Ding."

As Watson finished speaking, the atmosphere in the box gradually returned to normal, as if the tension and coldness just now had never existed.

As the night deepened, Ding Qing personally arranged a five-star hotel in downtown Seoul for Watson and others.

Inside the suite, outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows is the neon-lit night view of Seoul, but the atmosphere inside the room is unusually solemn.

Ding Qing and Li Zicheng stood behind Mais, watching his fingers typing rapidly on the keyboard. The blue light of the screen reflected on the faces of the three people, as if freezing the air.

"Found it." Mais said suddenly, and an encrypted file popped up on the screen.

He opened the file and a photo of a man in police uniform suddenly appeared - it was the young Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng's pupils suddenly contracted and his fingers clenched unconsciously.

Ding Qing glanced at the photo, then turned to look at Li Zicheng. His throat moved but he said nothing.

"This is it, delete it." Li Zicheng's voice was hoarse as if it had been sandpapered.

Max hit the enter key, and the file on the screen instantly turned into a string of garbled characters and eventually disappeared. "Done. No one can find your undercover record in the police department's database anymore."

Li Zicheng was silent for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "Thank you."

"Don't be polite. We're family from now on." Mais closed the computer, stood up and patted him on the shoulder.

After Mais left, Ding Qing said solemnly, "How many people know your undercover identity now?"

Li Zicheng exhaled slowly and said, "Three people, they are Li Xinyu, the intelligence agent who contacted me, Chief Jiang, my boss who sent me as an undercover agent, and Director Gao of the Investigation Bureau of the National Police Agency."

Ding Qing nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, let me take care of these three people. Don't expose yourself. I will find someone to handle this matter."

"After all, the person we killed was a high-ranking member of the police department. We cannot expose our presence."
