Chapter 592 Returning to the Police Force?
Stepping out of the underground bank, Tachibana Masahito said, "Brother Xuan, should we investigate Ah Kun, the man in the Tang suit, right now?"
“No rush.” Ye Haoxuan shook his head. “Let’s go back to Hong Kong Island first and tell Tony about what’s going on here. Let him send someone to Macau to investigate Ah Kun. The most important thing now is to hand over the recovered funds to the police and push forward with my return to the police force.”
Masahito Tachibana nodded.
The two turned and walked into the crowd in the casino, heading towards the entrance.
The casino was still bustling, but Ye Haoxuan felt much more relaxed.
Not only were the funds involved in the case recovered, but clues about Ah Le's remaining gang were also obtained, achieving two goals at once.
After leaving, Ye Haoxuan dialed Tony's number:
"Tony, send two men to Macau to investigate a croupier named Ah Kun. He works in the VIP room of the casino and has connections with Ah Lok's remaining gang. Once you find him, don't alert him; keep an eye on his movements."
"Understood, Brother Xuan, I'll arrange it right away," Tony's voice came from the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Haoxuan leaned back in his seat and looked at the scenery rushing past the window.
Ah Lok's power is being dismantled step by step, and the day he returns to the police force is getting closer. He Min and the others will soon be able to return to Hong Kong to reunite with their families.
Thinking of this, a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.
He then closed his eyes to rest, sorting out recent trivial matters—the recovered 30 million yuan of illicit funds needed to be handed over to the police as soon as possible, the people Tony sent to Macau to investigate Ah Kun needed to be kept a close eye on, and there were also arrangements for He Min and the others to return to Hong Kong; each one had to be properly arranged.
the next day.
Ye Haoxuan drove directly to the Central and Western District Police Station.
Upon reaching the door, he immediately gave Director Huang's name and took out a pass he had prepared in advance—a pass that Director Huang had specially arranged for him to facilitate his communication with undercover agents at any time.
After verifying the information, the police officer led him to the chief's office on the second floor.
Footsteps echoed down the corridor, and occasionally a police officer would hurry by. When he saw Ye Haoxuan, they would all cast wary glances at him—they all recognized this leader of Hung Hing, but they didn't stop him because he had a special pass approved by the Commissioner and was being led by a colleague.
"Mr. Ye, the chief is waiting for you inside." The officer knocked on the office door and opened it after receiving a response.
In the office, Director Huang was sitting behind his desk reviewing documents. He was wearing a police uniform, his hair neatly combed. Upon seeing Ye Haoxuan enter, he immediately put down his pen and stood up, a complex expression on his face.
"Haoxuan, you're here. Have a seat."
Ye Haoxuan walked to the desk and sat down, getting straight to the point: "Chief Huang, I came today to ask about my return to the police force. Is there any news?"
Director Huang sighed, poured himself a cup of tea, and handed one to Ye Haoxuan, his tone heavy:
"Sit down, have some tea first. This matter... is a bit tricky."
Ye Haoxuan took the teacup, his fingertips touching the warm rim, and he already had a premonition:
"Director Huang, please speak frankly."
"Your return to the police force has been approved," Chief Inspector Huang said, taking a sip of tea, his eyes full of apology. "However... the Chief Inspector position that was promised to you can't be approved."
Ye Haoxuan frowned slightly. Although he had a premonition, he was still somewhat surprised to hear the news.
He had been an undercover agent in Hung Hing for many years, providing the police with countless important intelligence. This time, he even intercepted fifteen boxes of heavy weaponry, dismantling Lam Wai-lok's power. According to the previous promise, the position of chief inspector should have been a sure thing.
"Why can't it be approved?" Ye Haoxuan's tone remained calm, without any extreme reaction.
“There are many concerns from above.” Commissioner Wong put down his teacup and shrugged. “First of all, your undercover identity is special. Although you have made outstanding contributions, you have been in Hung Hing for so long. The higher-ups are worried that you have too much of a ‘gangster’ vibe. Directly granting you the position of chief inspector will cause dissatisfaction among other officers.”
"Secondly, according to the police force's promotion procedures, even if you have made special contributions after leaving the force for many years, you should still be promoted step by step. The position of chief inspector is too broad and does not comply with the procedures."
"Furthermore, a few senior officials believe that since you are now the leader of Hung Hing, even though you are an undercover agent, you are inevitably involved in 'gray area' matters. Giving you the rank of senior inspector is already an exception."
Ye Haoxuan remained silent for a few seconds. He knew that Chief Huang was telling the truth. The police force had always had strict rules, and the concerns from above were not without reason.
However, after years of undercover work, risking his life, he wanted to return to the police force with dignity and receive the recognition he deserved.
“I understand.” Ye Haoxuan looked up at Director Huang. “Senior Inspector, what are the specific arrangements for your assignment?”
Seeing that Ye Haoxuan was not angry, Chief Huang breathed a sigh of relief: "The job assignment has been tentatively decided. You will still be at the Central and Western District Police Station, in charge of the Major Crimes Unit. I know this result is a bit unfair to you, but don't worry, I will continue to communicate with the higher-ups. Once you achieve results, I will definitely help you get a promotion opportunity."
"Thank you, Commissioner Wong." Ye Haoxuan nodded. "I wouldn't call it feeling wronged. As long as I can return to the police force and continue to protect the security of Hong Kong Island, the rank of my position is not that important to me."
He was telling the truth. After so many years undercover, he was tired of the fighting and killing. His main purpose in returning to the police force was to bring his undercover career to a perfect end and to be able to reunite with his family in peace.
Director Huang nodded with satisfaction: "It's good that you think that way. I knew you were different from those who chase fame and fortune. By the way, the higher-ups already know about the weapons you intercepted and the funds you recovered, and they have a very high opinion of you. This is also an important reason why you were promoted to senior inspector."
“Okay.” Ye Haoxuan stood up. “Director Huang, now that things are settled, I’ll head back now. Just let me know when you officially take office.”
"Okay." Chief Huang also stood up and saw Ye Haoxuan to the door. "I will process your appointment procedures as soon as possible, probably within the next few days. Also, since you have just returned to the police force, your status is rather special. I will talk to the people in the Major Crimes Unit and ask them to cooperate with your work."
"Thank you for your help, Director Huang."
"Don't be so polite with me. Although we are in a superior-subordinate relationship, I have always considered you my brother."
"Okay, I'll leave first."
As Ye Haoxuan walked out of the Central and Western District Police Station, his mind became clearer.
Although he didn't get the position of chief inspector, he was able to return to the police force smoothly, which is already a satisfactory result.
If he wanted to, he could be the chief inspector, or even the top officer in the police force!
However, he didn't want to think about it that much.
Now, what he wants to do most is to tell his women the news, to tell them that the peaceful days they have been longing for are getting closer and closer.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to go to the construction site to find Xiao Fangting.
