Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 585: Official business is official business, personal relationship is personal relationship

Xu Huaijing and Hu Zhiyong were arrested and brought to justice, leaving Wei Yaoting alone, slumped on the sofa with a sad face.

Not far away, Lu Zhilian, who was quietly watching the end of this good show, couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart.

What Mr. Wei said is right. Sir Quan and the National Security Department do act in a very strong manner.

Of course, this kind of strength did not make Lu Zhilian feel any resistance.

The National Security Department shoulders the heavy responsibility of safeguarding the National Security Act, so how can it show any weakness?
As a member of the disciplined forces and a member of the management who maintains the last bottom line of Hong Kong Island's disciplined forces, Lu Zhilian's attitude when handling cases is also very tough.

As for the fact that Sir Quan took advantage of this action to directly deal with Mr. Wei, Lu Zhilian did not comment too much on it.

Lu Zhilian was one of the parties involved in this incident. How could he not see the deeper meaning behind it?
However, looking at the entire operation process of the National Security Department, there was no violation at all.

What's more, Mr. Wei had gotten himself into this situation on his own and he had no relationship with the other party.

Under such circumstances, it was certainly impossible for Lu Zhilian to stand up for Wei Yaoting.

On the contrary, due to the meeting in the morning, Lu Zhilian was also dissatisfied with Wei Yaoting.

Wei Yaoting was defending the Z Foundation in every word and action, and the ICAC's attempt to investigate the Z Foundation was initiated by Lu Zhilian.

Therefore, although Lu Zhilian would not gloat over Wei Yaoting's current situation, he would definitely remain indifferent.

With a gentle smile on his lips, Lu Zhilian calmed down his confused thoughts and quickened his pace to meet Zhou Xingxing and the others.

Three core managers from the National Security Department of the Police Force were approaching him, and of course he could not choose to turn a blind eye.

Even though there are some conflicts between the police force and the ICAC, they still need to focus on maintaining a united and friendly relationship on the surface.

What's more, no conflict arose between the two sides during the meeting this morning.

It is reasonable for Director Lu to meet with Deputy Director Zhou.

"Sir Zhou, the actions of your National Security Department are as vigorous and resolute as ever!"

When the two sides were about three meters apart, Lu Zhilian took the initiative to stretch out his right hand and greeted Zhou Xingxing with a smile on his face.

"It looks like we can close the case before the investigation is even fully underway!"

The ICAC and the Police Force are both disciplined forces in Hong Kong Island, but there are very obvious differences between their respective systems.

Naturally, there is no distinction between Lu Zhilian and Zhou Xingxing.

However, even so, Lu Zhilian still chose to lower his posture.

After all, the Z Foundation was of great importance, but the National Security Bureau arrested Hu Zhiyong and Xu Huaijing like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Lu Zhilian, who has always been dedicated to the public, is full of respect for this.

As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person.

In addition, with the influence of his own boss, Zhou Xingxing did not have any bad feelings towards the Lianji members who adhered to their duties.

Even when there is no conflict between them, Deputy Director Zhou is also generous with his smile.

"Director Lu, your ICAC is not slow in its actions!"

Zhou Xingxing shook hands with Lu Zhilian in a friendly manner and said with a smile, "We've targeted them both so quickly."

Zhou Xingxing obviously doesn't like Hu Zhiyong and Xu Huaijing, and he doesn't even want to mention their names.

"I'm still not as good as you guys!"

Lu Zhilian shook his head helplessly and smiled, then sighed and said, "But this is also good. The sooner the Z Fund case comes to a conclusion, the sooner Hong Kong Island can avoid losses."

At this point, Lu Zhilian paused for a moment, and then he continued jokingly, "This way, we can get off work early."

These words came from Lu Zhilian's heart. If possible, he naturally hoped that his work would be as easy as possible, and this was not because he was a mediocre official and lazy.

On the contrary, it was a sign of his doing his duty.

Because the easier the work of the ICAC is, the more honest and upright the Hong Kong government will be in all aspects.

So even though his investigation this time was not yet completely completed, he did not feel any loss in his heart.

As for the credit for the Z Fund case, this has never appeared in Lu Zhilian's mind.

After all, their investigation had just begun and he did not have complete confidence.

Ultimately, the date for the Z Fund's listing is getting closer, which makes him feel very stressed.

Now everything has come to a successful conclusion, and it is naturally a happy result for everyone.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Luo, Mr. Guan, let's have a cup of coffee together after get off work later?"

With a more sincere smile on his face, Lu Zhilian extended an invitation to the three core managers of the National Security Department.

It was not easy for him to directly improve his relationship with the big boss Sir Quan, but it was no problem for him to contact the three trusted generals of Sir Quan in front of him.

As the chief investigator of the ICAC, senior police officers have always been the most keenly watched figures by all departments of the ICAC.

Therefore, Lu Zhilian had already memorized the information of Zhou Xingxing, Luo Danian, and Guan Wenzhan.

It cannot be said to be perfect, but there are definitely no issues with any violations of laws or disciplines.

There is some conflict between the ICAC and the police force, but that is just a work matter.

Privately, the senior officers of the police force and the Independent Commission Against Corruption are by no means cold-eyed in their attitude towards each other.

Some people's relationship is even very close.

For example, the relationship between Deputy Commissioner Yu Hongsheng of the Independent Commission Against Corruption and DCP Zeng Yuming of the police force.

Lu Zhilian is also a normal person, and of course he also needs to maintain his network of connections.

We know that the three current core management members of the National Security Department are innocent and have bright futures.

Now that he has the chance to get in touch with her, how could he miss it?
"Director Lu, please don't buy the ICAC coffee! I don't deserve it!"

Zhou Xingxing spoke on behalf of Luo Danian and Guan Wenzhan and made a joke with a smile.

Lian Ji Coffee is the thing that the police force is most opposed to.

Of course, Zhou Xingxing did not reject Lu Zhilian's kindness.

For him, the senior officials of the Independent Commission Against Corruption are also people worth making friends with.

What's more, the National Security Department is also very familiar with the information files about Lu Zhilian.

"Let's have tea!"

Changing the subject, Zhou Xingxing continued with a kind look: "We have a lot of good tea at our place, let's taste it together some other day."

At the same time, an idea came to Zhou Xingxing's mind. He hadn't been to his boss's office to ask for money for a while.

"Sir Zhou is joking!"

The smile on Lu Zhilian's slightly dark face became even brighter.

"We have lots of drinks too."

"But Sir Quan's delicious tea, of course I can't miss it if I have the chance."
