Chapter 207: The Independent Commission Against Corruption
"Mr. Yin, hearing about you is worse than meeting you in person. I have really heard of you for a long time."

Xu Weidong was wearing a suit, with an upright posture and a high-spirited demeanor.

"Xu Sir."

"Champagne, wine, or drinks?"

Yin Zhaotang stood in front of the water bar in the executive suite, looking at a bottle of Dom Perignon in his hand. There was a wooden wine rack on the table, with more than 20 bottles of various famous wines placed diagonally.

Xu Weidong walked slowly on the carpet and took the opportunity to look at him.

"It's so rare to see the champagne prince in Yin Sheng's hand."

This brand dares to call itself "Royal de Champagne", so it must have some background.

It is a brand created by Dom Perignon, the founder of Champagne. It started in 1668 and was only produced in good years.

Each bottle of wine is aged for seven years before being put on the market, and the best ones are all put on auction.

“Just open it.”

Yin Zhaotang picked up the wine knife and cut off the seal. Then he raised the champagne and chopped it diagonally, easily cutting out the cork.

Xu Weidong clapped his hands gently and said with a smile: "Mr. Yin is really good at kung fu."

"Have a taste."

Yin Zhaotang poured the wine into two champagne glasses that had been placed on the table and politely handed one of the glasses to the guest.

Xu Weidong is a champagne fanatic. He bent down to sniff the aroma and complimented, "The sound of the cork opening is crisp and beautiful. You don't even need to smell it to know it's top quality."

"At least fifty thousand, right?"

Yin Zhaotang sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, sipped his wine, and chuckled: "Mr. Xu is really an expert on champagne. He drinks a lot. It seems that the salary of the police force is really too little."

Xu Weidong had just tasted the wine and thought it smelled good, but when he heard the sarcastic words, his good mood was ruined.

He said unhappily: "Shenxiantang, just speak frankly."

Yin Zhaotang said calmly: "I will pay whatever the devil gave me before. Sir Xu likes the wine on the bar, so I'll have someone store it in the hotel."

"You can drink whenever you want, or take it away. There is also a gift for Sir Xu!"

Looking at the labels of the wines on the bar, you can tell there are "Dom de Champagne", "Jacques Beauregard" and "Rollant-Perrier". They are either used by the royal family or are from top wineries, and each bottle costs over five figures.

There are more than 20 of them, worth at least 300,000 yuan, enough to buy a house in Kowloon.

It's nice to drink it when you drink it, and it appreciates in value every year if you keep it as a collection.

There is an exquisitely crafted pearwood box on the tea table in the living room.

Xu Weidong couldn't help but half squat down and open the metal lock, revealing a pure gold champagne knife.

Although it was just a miniature ornament, it still weighed 500 grams, which made Xu Weidong look very surprised: "Mr. Yin is really thoughtful and generous!"

"I really want to make friends with Mr. Xu."

Yin Zhaotang raised his glass politely.

Xu Weidong closed the lid, stepped forward to clink glasses, and drank with a smile: "It's already, Mr. Yin, happy cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

Yin Zhaotang looked deep in the eyes and lowered his head to take a sip.

Xu Weidong drank the champagne in one gulp, poured himself another glass, admired the bubbles, and said, "Since we are all friends, why don't we help each other?"

"Mr. Yin has something I want. Did you bring it with you?"

Yin Zhaotang shook his wine glass and chuckled, "I didn't bring it."

"I'll go with you to get it." Xu Weidong didn't rush him, but he showed his urgency.

"No."

Yin Zhaotang sat on the Diaoyutai, put the wine glass on the table, stood up and walked to Xu Weidong, and said, "Hand over the accounts, will Xu Sir still be my friend?"

Xu Weidong gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Yin, I will be promoted to Chief Inspector in a while, and there must not be any mistakes."

"Not at all." Yin Zhaotang refused, not wanting to be swayed by his self-promotion. "Next Friday, a batch of goods will be landed at Tsuen Wan Pier. I'll let you know then."

"If we can get to the port safely, I'll give you the account next week."

Xu Weidong heaved a sigh of relief, wrote down a personal number on a piece of paper, fastened the last button of his suit, held the gift box in his hand and walked out of the room, his expression immediately turned sinister.

"Fuck him, a gangster is really pretending to be a big boss."

In the police force, his name is Adong, and when you go out on the police force, you have to call him Sir!

When Guizai Tian does business with him, he has to be humble and behave himself.

A small-time scoundrel dares to stick his tail up in the air.

It's really arrogant.

However, although Yin Zhaotang is arrogant, his behavior is more like a timid and cowardly fan dealer. If he wants to send him to Hong Kong Island next week, forget it.

He would do anything to protect his life and property.

hotel room.

Yin Zhaotang was leaning on the sofa alone, holding his mobile phone, looking at the sleepless Victoria Harbour.

"The chat is over."

On the sea, cruise ships are busy, lights are like stars, and huge cranes are unloading cargo. The dock is like a huge mouth, swallowing and spitting out goods and developing the economy.

Ho Kwan-hung, wearing a white shirt, was at his home in Wan Chai, holding a cigarette, and looking at Victoria Harbour.

"Did the fish bite?"

Yin Zhaotang smiled and said, "He has no choice."

Next Friday, he won’t even get the pork knuckles from the United States. Would he like some black tiger shrimps and grouper from the fishing boat?
Ho Kwan-hung hung up the phone, took the account book out, and rode a motorcycle to the official residence of the Independent Commission Against Corruption on Victoria Peak.

There are actually many Special Branch agents in this area, but only the Governor's residence is equipped with a VIP protection team, while the other high-ranking officials' residences only have intelligence agents.

At this time, Ho Kwan-hung, wearing a helmet, masked face, and a red and white motorcycle suit, passed by the Commissioner's Residence and smashed the window of a car on the roadside with a hammer.

Then, he threw the account into the window, did a beautiful drifting drift, and rushed down the mountain road at full throttle.

Intelligence agents are on duty at fixed points. When they heard the window being broken and rushed over, the motorcycle had already sped down the mountain and no one was in sight.

Even the Mercedes Benz on the roadside is not actually the car of the Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, but it has a Hong Kong government license plate and is a police car of the Special Branch.

The Political Department police officers, who were originally from the special intelligence field, were very professional and immediately began to check the situation inside the car.

the next morning.

While having dinner, ICAC Commissioner Richard M. Smith received a written case briefing and a record of the shady financial transactions.

Last night, the unidentified person came to expose the inside story.

Wei Liqin himself was not impressed by complaints coming from unconventional channels. In the eyes of British gentlemen, illegal complaints were also a means of undermining the fairness of the rule of law and judicial justice.

However, considering the low level of the personnel on the account and the small amount, the case will also be recorded in the Special Branch and even included in the Governor's daily briefing.

Wei Liqin finished drinking the milk and wiped his mouth and said, "Hand it over to the Anti-Corruption Unit and solve the case within 48 hours. Don't let Sir Mac ask me."

The subordinate who came to report immediately saluted: "Yes, sir!"

The case was immediately transferred to the Anti-Corruption Division, Anti-Corruption Unit 3, and was taken over by Investigation Director Chi Liwang.

Ah Lok and his men kept an eye on Xu Weidong and found that Xu Weidong met Chi Liwang in a massage parlor in Wan Chai at noon that day. At this point, there was one more person on Ho Kwan-hung's list, and there was a line to ICAC.

Ho Kwan-hung deliberately exaggerated this matter in the hope of luring out someone from the ICAC. After all, the ICAC is not the same department as the police force, and he could not even meet senior ICAC officials in a cigar bar.

It can be seen that the meeting between the Cigar Club and the ICAC was very secretive, and if you want to bring down the entire Cigar Club, it is impossible to rely on assassination or frame-up. You must first defeat Zhuo Youquan's partner in ICAC, and then make the dirty stuff public to force the ICAC to launch a large-scale investigation.

If the people from the ICAC don't show up, then we can wait for another chance. Xu Weidong is doomed to fail. If we want to push Ho Kwan-hung to the top, we must at least drag in a chief inspector.

After Xu Weidong and Chi Liwang met, they hurried back to the police headquarters and knelt down in the office of their boss Tang Xiaoge.
