Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 670 A casual question, a pleasant hearing

In the study, Jian Aowei poured a cup of tea and coffee for Zhou Quan and Li Yonglian respectively.

He always kept in mind the taste habits of his two junior brothers.

As for himself, it was no surprise that he poured himself a glass of Erguotou.

"Ah Quan, just get straight to the point!"

Shaking his whiskey glass leisurely, Jane Aowei sat next to Zhou Quan with a smile on his face.

"Normally I'm the one who calls you home for dinner, and you come over on your own initiative, and you even call Edward."

"This situation is rare."

Out of respect for Zhou Quan's habit, everyone who is familiar with him has now changed the way they address him.

The original name "Gui Lao" was just a temporary measure during a special period.

The senior brother and father-in-law beside him was no exception.

However, Jian Aowei and Li Yonglian still maintained their previous habits.

"Brother, have you ever had any contact with Huang Lide, Ma Zhuoxian, and Li Shusheng?"

Taking a sip of tea, Zhou Quan didn't keep anyone in suspense and turned his gaze to Li Yonglian.

Zhou Quan has many classmates in the judicial field, spread across various regions and fields of politics and law related to foreigners.

But only Jian Aowei and Li Yonglian have the closest relationship with Zhou Quan.

Only Li Yonglian is qualified to be called his senior brother, and Jian Aowei is the eldest senior brother.

"Lydia? Xianshao? Gilbert?"

Li Yonglian frowned, and he, who was originally leaning on the sofa with his legs crossed, now sat up straight and serious.

"These three people are not simple!"

With thoughts racing in his mind, Li Yonglian sighed softly and without hesitation told all the information he knew.

"Lydia was a non-official member of the Legislative Council and a member of Chris Patten's staff."

"Before the handover, Ma was a political officer in the Department of Justice and was also trusted by Chris Patten."

"If Hong Kong Island had continued to be under Patten's jurisdiction, Ma Cheuk-yin would probably have been the Secretary for Justice by now."

"As for Gilbert Li Shusheng, I don't know much about him."

"I just heard that he has a close relationship with Lidya and Xian Shao."

There are many people with the same name and surname in Hong Kong Island, but there are only a handful of them who can be specially mentioned by the police force's National Security DCP.

In Li Yonglian's impression, only these three people are qualified to be noticed by his junior fellow apprentice.

After all, two of them usually go to and from get off work with Li Yonglian in the Government Headquarters Building.

"A Quan, I always have a feeling that there might be something fishy going on when these three people get together!"

After a slight pause, a meaningful look flashed in the depths of Li Yonglian's eyes.

"The three of them had contact with me before, and their attitude towards me was a little too enthusiastic."

"Ah Quan, you are the Deputy Commissioner of Police, you should know the situation of our Department of Justice best."

"Plus, Mr. Dong has made a lot of moves since his re-election, which has led to my focus being on the work of the Department of Justice."

"If you and Oswald hadn't teamed up, I'd probably still be looking at the files right now."

At the end of his speech, Li Yonglian shrugged his shoulders and smiled helplessly at himself.

"I will naturally decline to meet these unfamiliar people!"

Deputy Secretary Li is determined to pursue a career in politics, and he even dares to harbor ambitions for such a difficult position as the big boss of the Hong Kong government.

Huang Lide, Ma Zhuoxian, and Li Shusheng, these three people together, plus the interpersonal relationships behind them, what is the trick here, how could Deputy Director Li not notice it at all?
He seemed to be saying nothing, just complaining about how hard his work was lately.

But in fact, Deputy Director Li has expressed his attitude without hesitation.

He declined the invitation to contact with Huang Lide, Ma Zhuoxian and Li Shusheng, but he was obviously very keen on interacting with his fellow apprentices.

Especially for his own junior brother, Sir Quan’s future prospects are completely visible to the naked eye.

Being the highest administrator in the police force was already terrifying enough, but this was definitely not the end for his junior fellow apprentice.

Because of this relationship, and the contribution of participating in the drafting of the National Security Bill when Hong Kong was returned to China.

Even without thinking, Li Yonglian could clearly understand which side he should stand on.

"A Quan, do you mean that those three people have ulterior motives, or that there are ambitious people supporting them behind the scenes?"

After listening to Li Yonglian's story quietly, Jian Aowei put down his wine glass with a serious expression.

Compared with Deputy Director Li's reserved and introverted personality, Attorney Jian undoubtedly appears to be very outspoken.

This situation does not mean that Mr. Jian is not cunning.

On the contrary, the fact that he could become the senior brother recognized by Zhou Quan and Li Yonglian must be due to his unique qualities.

Li Yonglian said it well, if Jane Austen was keen on a political career.

Today, Attorney General Kan has probably already secured the position of Secretary for Justice.

Within the Hong Kong government, the existence of Lawyer Kan is very special.

After Mr. Tung’s former election opponent, Mr. Young, the first Chinese Chief Justice, was no longer active in the political and judicial circles, Oswald Kan is now the leading figure in Hong Kong’s judicial community.

However, he did not work directly in the Hong Kong government department, but contributed to the legal construction of Hong Kong Island as an independent member of the Legislative Council.

For Jane Austen, the spirit of the rule of law should be pure, fair and just.

The rule of law will never allow concessions to politics.

Jian Aowei, who upholds this philosophy and belief in both knowledge and action, has a somewhat independent and aloof demeanor.

In his opinion, right is right and wrong is wrong.

Legal and illegal, that's all.

"Big Brother, it's time to get off work now. Let's not talk about business."

Facing Jian Aowei's questions and Li Yonglian's concern, Zhou Quan laughed and changed the subject very abruptly.

"I just asked casually, and you guys just listened to it."

"Drink tea! Drink tea!"

The investigation work of the National Security Department is a police secret, so Sir Quan would naturally not do something like leaking police secrets.

Even though their two senior brothers were very careful with their words, they were still able to guess part of it.

But saying it and not saying it are two very obvious differences.

He organized a meeting with two senior brothers today, and his main goal was to see Li Yonglian's attitude and reaction.

There is no doubt that Deputy Director Li’s position is very clear, which makes him very pleased.

After so many years of friendship, Zhou Quan really didn't want to see his senior brother become one of the targets of investigation by the National Security Bureau.

Seeing Zhou Quan picking up the teacup again, Jian Aowei and Li Yonglian looked at each other, and then also raised the whiskey and coffee in front of them.

Since those three people were able to attract the attention of the police force's National Security DCP, there must be another mystery behind them.

Since their junior fellow apprentice didn't want to say more, they wouldn't ask too many questions either.

But they both knew what to choose.
