Chapter 255 Help 2
"Okay, everyone, take a seat." Jiang Dawei's voice echoed in the quiet room, his tone steady and serious. Everyone took their seats upon hearing his words, and the originally noisy scene instantly became completely silent.
Li Wenbin was the first to speak, breaking the silence. His gaze swept across the crowd, finally landing on Jiang Dawei. He said, "Achang and Zhicheng are both trustworthy people. Dawei, just tell me what you have to say. Brother Hua, the reason I didn't let Huabiao be here is because he has an impulsive personality and is prone to making mistakes at critical moments."
Jiang Dawei nodded in understanding, then continued, "The reason why this operation against the Ni Kun family was handed over to Huadi is not because the anti-drug team and Huang Zhicheng are incompetent. It's because I recently discovered that there are corrupt police officers within our anti-drug team and the serious crime team. Many of our previous operations were betrayed by these corrupt police officers to the Ni family and other drug lords."
Before Jiang Dawei could finish his words, Huang Zhicheng suddenly interrupted and said, "Then there will be no problem with Huadi's people?" There was a hint of doubt in his tone.
Seeing this, Lu Qichuang quickly reached out to stop Huang Zhicheng and explained, "Sir, don't misunderstand me. Da Huang isn't questioning you. He just has a bad temper and speaks bluntly. Don't take it to heart."
Huang Zhicheng still maintained his straightforward character at this time, and had not yet become the cunning and calculating person he later became. After all, he had not yet personally experienced the tragedy of Lu Qichang being killed by Ni Yongxiao, nor had he suffered the pain of being betrayed by a friend.
"Don't worry, I will answer your questions." Huang Zhicheng said firmly, "Of course I believe that Huadi is definitely not a corrupt cop! The people under his command were only transferred here recently, and the veterans in his team have not participated in the previous operations. Therefore, there is no problem in giving this mission to him."
Li Wenbin nodded slightly, agreeing with Huang Zhicheng's opinion. He then turned to Achang and said solemnly, "Achang, what you and Huang Zhicheng need to do now is to help me conduct an internal screening and quickly identify the corrupt police officer hiding among us."
However, Huang Zhicheng's heart was filled with doubt and distrust towards Hua Di. He thought to himself, "Wa Di can be trusted? That's just a fantasy! He's just a small-time gangster, how can he be trusted?" Huang Zhicheng had originally valued Hua Di's gangster background, thinking he could use it to make him an undercover agent, but to his surprise, Hua Di ruthlessly rejected his proposal.
Fortunately, Huang Zhicheng later found a more suitable candidate to act as an undercover agent, and this candidate would not arouse the suspicion of the Ni family. Thinking of this, Huang Zhicheng felt a little more at ease.
"Any other questions?" Li Wenbin asked, looking at Huang Zhicheng's unconvinced expression.
As a longtime friend of Huang Zhicheng's, Lu Qichang naturally understood Huang Zhicheng's thoughts. Seeing Huang Zhicheng didn't respond, he quickly interrupted, "No problem, sir. We'll begin the screening process as soon as we get back."
"Okay, you two go back first. Huadi stays." Jiang Dawei gave the order.
Just as Lu Qichuang and Huang Zhicheng turned around and prepared to leave, Li Wenbin suddenly called out to them, "Wait."
Li Wenbin watched them both turn around and return to the conference room, slowly closing the door. His gaze fell on them, and he spoke to them in a calm yet serious tone, "Ah Huang, I know you've planted an undercover agent in the Ni family. This undercover agent may be very important to us. Now, I hope you can hand this undercover agent over to Hua Di, and let him take charge of the follow-up work."
Huang Zhicheng was shocked when he heard Li Wenbin's words. His eyes widened, and he was about to explain something when he was interrupted by Lu Qichuang. Lu Qichuang seemed to sense Huang Zhicheng's dissatisfaction and said quickly, "No problem, sir! When I get back, I will immediately have Da Huang hand over the undercover to Hua Di to ensure a smooth handover."
Li Wenbin nodded slightly, indicating that he was satisfied with Lu Qichang's answer. He waved his hand, indicating that they could leave. Although Huang Zhicheng was somewhat reluctant, he had no choice but to follow Lu Qichang out of the meeting room.
Upon returning to the office, Huang Zhicheng, like a powder keg, immediately complained to Lu Qichuang, "How could you agree to hand over my undercover agent so easily? We went there to demand operational control, but not only did we not get it, we even lost my agent! All you do is say yes, sir, without an opinion of your own! And you even stopped me from speaking. What's going on?"
Lu Qichang's face gradually darkened. He glared at Huang Zhicheng, his dissatisfaction growing stronger. Huang Zhicheng's words were like a sharp sword, piercing his heart.
"How can you say that?" There was a hint of annoyance in Lu Qichuang's voice, "If I hadn't been helping you clean up the mess, you would have been scolded by your superiors long ago!" His brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was very disappointed with Huang Zhicheng's ungratefulness.
Huang Zhicheng obviously didn't realize that his words would cause such a big reaction from Lu Qichuang. He was stunned for a moment, and then responded a little impatiently: "Then go and fight with the superiors! Didn't you come back anyway?"
Lu Qichuang's anger was completely ignited by Huang Zhicheng's attitude. He stood up suddenly, pointed his finger at Huang Zhicheng, and shouted, "Okay! Since you are so capable, then go and talk to Chief Li now! You can say whatever you want, I will never stop you again! I won't go with you either!"
After saying that, Lu Qichang sat back down heavily in his chair, crossed his arms over his chest, and pursed his lips, saying nothing more. The entire room suddenly became filled with a tense atmosphere, and the silence between the two of them seemed to be suffocating.
Finally, in this stalemate, Lu Qichang was the first to break the silence. He slowly raised his head, his eyes fixed on Huang Zhicheng, and with a hint of helplessness and compromise, he said softly, "Huang, you are a police officer. It is your duty to obey your superiors' orders. Leave Chen Yongren to Huadi."
Huang Zhicheng's face lit up with disbelief. He stared at Lu Qichuang with wide eyes, as if trying to see through his eyes to his true thoughts. After a while, Huang Zhicheng finally came to his senses and asked with a slightly trembling voice, "You...you knew I sent Ah Ren? But my undercover report didn't go through you."
Lu Qichang looked at Huang Zhicheng's astonishment, a complex emotion welling up in his heart. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Da Huang, you're hiding this from me. Do you think I really know nothing about it? I think Huadi probably knew about this a long time ago."
Huang Zhicheng's brow furrowed, clearly surprised by Lu Qichuang's words. He shook his head, as if trying to deny the truth, muttering, "How could he know? This is impossible..."
Lu Qichang frowned and said seriously, "Don't underestimate others. They're not stupid. Huadi had just enrolled, and you couldn't wait to go undercover with him. What happened? Not only did he not agree, but he also had a very unpleasant argument with you. And then, Chen Yongren dropped out of school. Do you think he can't see the connection?"
Huang Zhicheng was silent for a moment after hearing this, then muttered to himself, "Yes, Huadi is indeed not a simple character. He is so smart, he must have guessed all this. I'm afraid Chen Yongren can't be protected now. It will be even more difficult to arrange for another undercover agent to enter the Ni family in the future."
Seeing this, Lu Qichang continued to comfort him, "It seems that you are still upset about the last time Huadi and you had a big fight. But I still have to remind you that Huadi has an extraordinary background and his abilities are also quite outstanding. You'd better not clash with him again, otherwise you will definitely suffer. It won't be long before he can climb over your head and mine."
Huang Zhicheng made a decision in his heart and decided to hand Chen Yongren over to Huadi. Although Huang Zhicheng was not a good man, he was a good policeman, loyal to his profession, ruthless to others and even ruthless to himself.
