Chapter 5 Huang Zhicheng deserves to die
Upon hearing this, Xu Shan immediately burst into laughter:
"Even if I'm busy, I have to make time for it! I absolutely have to go!"
He Chu also laughed:
"Okay, it's settled then."
"I need to go see a psychologist first, after all, it's a rule of the police force, and I can't break it."
The Hong Kong Police Force has always had strict rules. Whenever an officer draws or fires a gun while on duty, regardless of the circumstances, a detailed shooting report must be submitted.
In addition, you must have an interview with a psychologist and complete a professional psychological evaluation.
Xu Shan chuckled and joked:
"Inspector Ho, I reckon you'll probably become a regular at the psychologist's office from now on."
He Chu smiled and shook his head, greeted the others, and then drove away from the scene.
After He Chu left, Xu Shan turned to Chen Sanyuan and the others beside him and said earnestly:
"You guys are really lucky. You've only just joined the police force and you've already met a superior like Inspector Ho. Your future careers will be much smoother than others."
Chen Sanyuan, however, was somewhat unconvinced and said with a shrug:
"Uncle Shan, aren't you exaggerating a bit?"
Xu Shan looked at her, his face full of envy, yet also with a touch of the wisdom of someone who's been there:
"If I had met a superior like Inspector Ho when I first joined the police force, I wouldn't still be a lowly sergeant!"
"This police force is full of bastards who only want to climb up the ranks and step on their subordinates to get to the top."
"Those people don't care about the lives of their subordinates at all, let alone share the credit with them."
"A superior like Inspector Ho, who is capable, responsible, and willing to lead his subordinates, is truly rare; you'd be hard-pressed to find one even with a lantern."
After expressing his feelings, Xu Shan composed himself and solemnly addressed the group:
"The credit for killing Ji Zhengxiong this time mainly goes to Inspector He, right?"
The people present all nodded in agreement, without the slightest objection.
"When facing the armed and ruthless bandit Ji Zhengxiong, he was the one who charged ahead alone, right?"
The group nodded in unison again, their faces full of agreement.
"He was the one who first discovered Ji Zhengxiong, the one who first sensed something was wrong, and the one who ultimately killed him with his own hands."
"Even if we saw Ji Zhengxiong first, we would at most think he was a little suspicious, but we wouldn't think of him as a ruthless bandit, right?"
Chen Sanyuan immediately spoke frankly:
"The four colleagues who were shot dead by Ji Zhengxiong were shot dead by him when they went up to check their ID cards for the first time."
"This guy is truly vicious and ruthless, a killer who doesn't blink an eye."
"He could kill someone just because it was a routine ID check."
Xu Shan sighed and said with a face full of emotion:
"you do not say."
"If it weren't for Inspector Ho's advance warning and arrangements, if it were just a few of us going up to investigate him, who would have survived?"
Chen Sanyuan immediately shook his head without hesitation.
Although she is impatient and impulsive, she is not unreasonable.
"If it were us going up to investigate him, Ji Zhengxiong would definitely shoot and kill him without hesitation."
Chen Sanyuan paused, then added:
"Even before he opened fire, I never imagined he would resort to such a brutal act as a routine check!"
Xu Shan immediately clapped his hands and said in a deep voice:
"Yes! That's exactly right!"
"So you need to understand that Inspector Ho is a truly good superior."
"He always takes the lead in the most dangerous situations and shoulders the burden himself."
"After making a contribution, he didn't keep it all to himself. He ate the meat himself, but he also made sure to share the soup with us."
At this point, Xu Shan's face was filled with envy again.
"If I had met a superior like Inspector Ho when I was younger, I'd probably be an inspector by now!"
He composed himself and solemnly instructed the group:
"Inspector Ho is a very capable person. Someone like him would get promoted in the police force at an alarming speed."
"It won't be long before he leaves the uniformed department, transfers to plainclothes, and joins the serious crimes unit or even a more core department."
"Our time working alongside him won't be much longer."
"Regardless of what you're thinking—"
"Do you want to follow him all the way and grow with him, or do you want to take advantage of this time to learn more real skills from him?"
"We all need to seize this time and make the most of this opportunity!"
"You might never find another boss like that in your lifetime!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Sanyuan's previous indifference vanished, and he nodded emphatically, making sure to remember these words.
The police force established the position of a full-time psychologist because of the surge in stress-related mental illnesses following the World War II.
This has made police forces around the world keenly aware of the need to protect the mental health of law enforcement officers, especially those who have personally ended lives.
The Hong Kong Police Force recognized the seriousness of this problem early on, and therefore set a strict rule that any police officer who has fired a gun must undergo mandatory psychological treatment, regardless of the reason.
What they fear most is that if law enforcement officers fail to control their emotions, the harm they cause to ordinary citizens will be far greater than that caused by vicious criminals.
He Chu didn't have any reservations about this—it was just a set of strict rules and regulations of the police force, not something specifically targeting him personally.
He stepped into the building, then suddenly stopped.
The person walking towards them was an old acquaintance. He was dressed in a flashy and extravagant manner, and his face was bruised and swollen with injuries.
He Chu reached out and grabbed the other person, not giving them a chance to explain, and dragged them to a secluded corner:
"How did you end up here?"
The man struggled and shouted:
"You've definitely mistaken me for someone else!"
He Chu lowered his voice and sternly rebuked:
"fart!"
Even if you were reduced to ashes, I would still recognize you at a glance.
"Ah Ren, what happened to you that you look like this?"
Upon hearing this, the person immediately stopped struggling.
Chen Yongren forced a bitter smile and said:
"Officer, I've come to this state, and you still recognize me?"
He Chu quickly glanced around and lowered his voice to signal:
"Come on, let's talk in my car."
Without giving the other party a chance to say another word, he grabbed Chen Yongren and pulled him outside.
Chen Yongren didn't resist anymore and just let him drag him forward.
After getting into the car, He Chu handed Chen Yongren a cigarette:
"How did it get like this?"
Chen Yongren kept his head down and didn't say a word, just silently smoking one cigarette after another.
He Chu's brows furrowed instantly.
"Didn't I tell you this a long time ago?"
"If you encounter any problems, you can contact me anytime."
"If Ah Rong hadn't told me that he bumped into you on the street a few days ago, I really wouldn't have believed that Chen Yongren, who was so sharp and spirited in the police academy back then, would have become such a down-and-out person."
Chen Yongren's face was filled with unspeakable pain.
He Chu's anger surged up instantly:
"What's going on? Is your boss really a piece of trash?"
Chen Yongren flicked the burnt-out cigarette butt out of the car window before speaking in a hoarse voice:
"You advised me back when we were in police academy, but to be honest, I didn't listen to a word you said at the time."
"I was very naive back then, always thinking that with my own abilities, I could return to the police force in a glorious manner in the shortest time."
"But who would have thought that things weren't like that at all!"
"Life in the gang was inhuman. Every day was either about bullying others or being trampled on and humiliated."
"All day long, he's either beating up others or getting beaten up by others."
"My gang enemies are chasing me to attack me, and my colleagues in the police force are chasing me to arrest me!"
"I really can't take another day like this."
He Chu's brows furrowed even more:
"I told you long ago, being an undercover agent is not an easy job at all."
Chen Yongren suddenly couldn't hold back anymore and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"You really think I willingly took on this lousy undercover role?"
"My mother taught me from a young age that I must be an upright and good person in this life."
"All I want in this life is to be a good person and live a peaceful life."
"If I don't take this undercover job, I can forget about ever being a policeman again!"
He Chu's face instantly showed a look of surprise:
"What exactly is going on?"
Chen Yongren lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking:
"That day I was having dinner with Officer Lu and a few others when someone suddenly ran up to me and told me that my biological father had passed away."
He Chu's brows furrowed even more deeply.
"Your biological father just passed away, and they're already sending you to go undercover?"
Chen Yongren stared intently into He Chu's eyes, gritting his teeth as he spoke each word clearly:
"My deadbeat father is Ni Kun."
Upon hearing this, He Chu simply responded with a faint "oh".
Chen Yongren looked He Chu up and down, but couldn't see the slightest hint of surprise on her face. He quickly pressed her for an answer:
"Don't you find it strange at all?"
He Chu looked puzzled and asked:
"What's so strange about that?"
Chen Yongren raised his voice and shouted:
"My deadbeat father is Ni Kun! The Ni Kun who was the all-powerful drug lord in Tsim Sha Tsui!"
He Chu's face remained expressionless, but he asked with a hint of curiosity:
"And then? What happened?"
Chen Yongren became completely agitated, his whole body trembling slightly:
"My biological father is Ni Kun!"
"I'm the son of a gang boss, a descendant of the organization!"
"Given my background, isn't it strange that I actually got into police academy?"
He Chu listened with a dismissive expression.
"You are you, and your father is your father; these are two separate things."
"What era are we living in? Why are people still clinging to that bloodline theory of sons paying for their fathers' debts?"
"Do you feel proud or honored to have such a father?"
Chen Yongren instantly flew into a rage, his neck stiffening as he shouted:
"My surname is Chen! My fucking surname is Chen!"
Upon hearing this, He Chu immediately spread his hands and said:
"Isn't that settled?"
Chen Yongren suddenly laughed after hearing this.
"You really are still the same Chu you were back then."
He Chu still looked completely unconvinced.
"Did A-Jie tell you about his background?"
Chen Yongren was completely confused and asked with a blank expression:
"Ah Jie? You mean Song Zijie?"
He Chu sighed softly and said:
"Ah Jie's older brother is the head of the gang. When Ah Jie was admitted to the police academy, his brother was still in prison."
Chen Yongren was stunned when he heard this, his face full of astonishment.
He Chu paused, then continued:
"Do you know why Ah-Jie was so determined to get into police academy?"
"It was because his brother's enemy killed his father with his own hands."
After hearing this, Chen Yongren fell into complete silence.
He Chu looked at the silent Chen Yongren and slowly spoke:
"Family background and other such things are not that important at all."
"You are an independent person, and your family is your family. There is never any necessary binding relationship between the two."
"If all else fails, I'll just quit being a policeman."
"Does being a decent, good person really require wearing this police uniform?"
"If we really follow this logic, there are only 30,000 police officers for the more than 6 million people in Hong Kong."
"Could it be that the remaining six million people are all irredeemably evil villains?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yongren froze on the spot, completely stunned.
He Chu's brows furrowed tightly once again:
"I know you've always been very close to Inspector Lu Qichang, and you have a very good personal relationship."
"Was Inspector Lu Qichang personally dispatching you to go undercover this time?"
"If that's really the case, then Lu Qichang is truly a scoundrel."
Chen Yongren hurriedly tried to explain:
"It wasn't Officer Lu who arranged it; it was his partner, Officer Huang Zhicheng."
He Chu's expression instantly turned cold.
"Was Huang Zhicheng among the people who had dinner with you and Inspector Lu that day?"
Chen Yongren nodded slightly and said:
"Yes, my background was exposed after that day, and I could no longer stay at the police academy."
"It was this Officer Huang who gave me the idea to go undercover back to the Ni family!"
Upon hearing this, He Chu flew into a rage and slammed his hand on the chair:
"This is absolutely outrageous!"
"Is Huang Zhicheng out of his mind?"
"You're clearly Ni Kun's biological son, yet he still sent you back to the Ni family as an undercover agent?"
Chen Yongren, being a hot-blooded young man, quickly spoke up to defend himself.
"Officer Huang was actually doing it for my own good."
He Chu immediately let out a cold laugh and said:
"You've been completely taken advantage of, and you're still foolishly counting the money for them!"
"I'm asking you, so far, have you successfully infiltrated the Ni family?"
Chen Yongren gently shook his head and said:
"not yet!"
"Officer Huang meant that we shouldn't rush to the Ni family's house, as that would only arouse their suspicion. It would be best to wait for the Ni family to come to us and call me back."
Upon hearing this, He Chu's face instantly showed a look of shock:
"You've been out of police academy for over a year, and you still haven't stepped foot inside the Ni family's door?"
Chen Yongren, with a mournful face, nodded and said:
"yes!"
He Chu immediately pressed on, asking:
"In the past year or so, hasn't Huang Zhicheng provided you with even the slightest help or support?"
Chen Yongren fell silent again for a long time before slowly speaking.
"Officer Huang said that he must make sure I can establish myself in the gang based on my own abilities."
He Chu immediately snorted coldly and said in an icy tone:
"If you can really establish yourself in the club on your own merits, you can become a big shot and do whatever you want."
"Once you've become a big shot in the gang, will you still need to take his orders?"
