Chapter 1206 Good News from the Delivery Room: Someone Gave Birth (and Was Promoted)
Chen Xijiu gritted his teeth, stood up, his gaze towards Yan Tong was somewhat evasive, but his tone was firm.
“Master Yan, now each local tycoon has designated their territory. You do your business, I do mine. Even if there are some minor frictions, it’s nothing. But if you re-plan the territory and add a 30% fee, I’m afraid none of the local tycoons will agree.”
Yan Tong was shocked that Chen Xijiu would dare to talk back to him. His face turned bright red instantly, and he slammed his hand on the table.
“Chen Xijiu, you’ve only been in civilian clothes for a few days, and you still dare to question my decision? Damn it, have I been too kind to you? I’ve decided to remove you from your position as detective starting today and send you out to patrol the streets.”
Chen Xijiu's face contorted, and he slammed his hand on the table.
"Yan Tong, what the hell do you think you are? You got this position by sleeping with a foreigner on your wife's back. Now that you've been promoted, just stay put and don't cause any trouble."
"You're both carving up territory and raising fees, what? Hong Kong can't contain you anymore? You think you can control everything?"
Yan Tongqi's face turned pale and then red. He never expected that his attempt to establish his authority would backfire, and he would be humiliated by a junior detective like Chen Xijiu. He shouted angrily.
“Young master, Ah Wei, arrest this Chen Xi Jiu for me. If I don’t cripple him today, I’m not Yan Tong.”
The young master and Ah Wei were sitting nearby. When they heard Yan Tong say that, they hurriedly stood up to grab Chen Xi Jiu. Chen Xi Jiu was really tough. He reached out and pulled out a revolver, which he pressed against the young master's forehead. His lips trembled a little, but he spoke very clearly.
"You little bastards, do you even know who I am? You dare to mess with me? Let me tell you straight, this gun of mine killed a police superintendent last time. I bet if I kill you two bastards now, I'll only get credit and a reward. Nobody will dare to touch me."
When he said that, Lei Luo remembered that this was the case when Young Master Qin shot and killed the foreign police superintendent in Hong Zhennan's last boxing match, and this kid came up to take the blame for Young Master Qin.
Upon further reflection, Lei Luo realized that Chen Xijiu's appointment as detective was approved by him, but it was Qin Shao Ye who directly requested it from above. No wonder he was so assertive.
When the young master and Ah Wei saw the guns drawn, they dared not move. Everyone knew that these old police guns were prone to accidental discharge, and it would be a huge loss if they accidentally went off and ended up stuck there.
Yan Tong was also taken aback. He didn't have much of an impression of Chen Xijiu, only knowing that he had a good temper and was the most popular person in the police station. Now that he saw this, he was no ordinary person.
Yan Tong, being a seasoned veteran, immediately regained his composure and smiled as he spoke to Chen Xijiu.
“Sai Gau, everyone here has a gun, who would be afraid of this thing? But I’m curious about what you just said, whose side are you on? How dare you kill a police superintendent?”
Yan Tong suddenly remembered who the police superintendent who had been beaten to death was: Wallace, and the British boxing champion Tornado. It was said that after Wallace was killed, not only did no one seek revenge, but the police department even reported him as having died of a serious illness.
At this thought, cold sweat poured down his forehead. Someone who could shoot and kill a foreign police superintendent and get away with it without any punishment must have a background equivalent to the Secretary for Security. How could he afford to offend someone like that?
When he looked at Chen Xijiu again, he suddenly felt that Chen Xijiu seemed much taller. But then he glanced at the detectives around him; they were all watching him. If Yan Tong couldn't deal with Chen Xijiu today, then Yan Tong could forget about working in the police force.
Yan Tong gritted his teeth. He was truly in a dilemma. He hardened his heart; he had to deal with Chen Xijiu today. At worst, he'd have his wife spend another two nights with the foreign police superintendent.
Yan Tong's cheeks puffed out, and he let out a sinister grin.
“Chen Xijiu, if you’re a man, then shoot. At worst, you’ll pay with your life. If you kill your son-in-law, then you’ll die too. But don’t worry, before your seventh day after death, I will definitely send your family to the underworld to join you.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Xijiu's forehead veins bulged. He tightened his grip on the revolver and slowly pried open the hammer. The young master's legs trembled, and he was so frightened that he peed a large amount of urine.
At that moment, a hand reached out and pressed down on Chen Xijiu's pistol. Chen Xijiu turned his head and saw Lei Luo smiling at him.
Chen Xijiu's voice trembled.
"General Manager Lei."
With a smile, Lei Luo took the gun, closed the trigger, and engaged the safety before personally placing it into the holster on Xi Jiu's waist.
Yan Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief. The young master was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he was helped out by Awei.
Yan Tong pointed at Chen Xijiu and sneered.
"Chen Xijiu, tomorrow you'd better put on your military uniform and go on patrol. If I'm in a good mood, I'll give you a few dollars to buy some porridge. If I'm in a bad mood, you'd better guard the pond."
Lei Luo frowned slightly and slammed his hand on the table.
"Yan Tong, are you crazy? You think you can just dismiss a detective like that? Do you have that kind of authority?"
Yan Tong looked at Lei Luo,
“Chan Sai-gau is a detective in my New Territories, so of course he is under my jurisdiction. If I want him to be promoted, he can be promoted; if I want him to be demoted, he must be demoted. Lui Lok, this is a matter for my New Territories, and it has nothing to do with you. We are equals, so don’t put on airs like a boss in front of me.”
Lei Luo looked at him coldly and said contemptuously.
"You mean I can't control you anymore?"
Yan Tong opened his arms and laughed heartily.
“Lei Luo, things are different now. Do you know why the foreigners promoted me? It’s to suppress you. Since that’s the case, from now on, you can say whatever you want. As long as I, Yan Tong, am in this position, I won’t let you, Lei Luo, have a single day of peace.”
Before he could finish speaking, the conference room door was pushed open, and Piggy, beaming with joy, gave Lei Luo a fierce look. Lei Luo felt relieved, knowing that his appointment had been made, but he didn't know what position Young Master Qin had assigned him.
Piggy stepped aside and offered his hand, but the two high-ranking police officers didn't even glance at him and walked straight into the conference room.
All the detectives were startled, and Lei Luo hurriedly shouted.
"Attention!"
All the detectives immediately stood up at attention, each one keeping their face taut and mouth shut, not daring to breathe loudly.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Jaden Hubert, accompanied by his secretary, stood before the conference table. He glanced at all the Chinese detectives before him and snorted.
Jaden Hubert waved, and his secretary opened a folder he was carrying and spoke loudly.
"Letter of Appointment, appointing Sergeant Lei Luo as Director of the Criminal Investigation Department, and promoting him to the rank of Superintendent,"
Jaden Hubert smiled and extended a hand to Reilly, who quickly reached out and shook it with both hands.
"Ray, I hope you will set an example and continue to serve the people of Hong Kong."
Lei Luo stood at attention and saluted.
"Yes, sir, thank you, sir!"
