Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 896: Envious and jealous eyes!

When Lu Zhilian told Watson that he had come to the ICAC and asked to be investigated, everyone in the meeting room looked at him in surprise. You know, since the establishment of the ICAC, the number of people who dared to come and ask to be investigated could be counted on one hand!

Fan Peifang couldn't help but say, "It seems that Watson either has no problems of his own, or he has handled all the problems well. No matter which one it is, your work ahead will not be easy!"

Lu Zhilian nodded solemnly and said, "Indeed, Watson came here this time not only to voluntarily accept the investigation, but also to ask us to issue him a report after the investigation is completed to prove his innocence!"

"Everyone knows why he's doing this. There have been all sorts of rumors flying around lately, saying he's colluding with gangs and so on. He's planning to use our ICAC to endorse him!"

Hearing this, Fan Peifang was not angry. Instead, she smiled with satisfaction and said, "Don't think there's anything wrong with doing this. This shows that the outside world has a very high degree of recognition for our ICAC. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come to us."

"And since he's brave enough to come forward and proactively ask to cooperate with the investigation, then we should satisfy him. Regardless of whether he has any problems or not, this is what we should do. If any problems are found, then our ICAC will have helped the police force to eliminate a bad apple."

"But if no problems are found, then our ICAC has helped these people who are truly working for Hong Kong Island to withstand all kinds of attacks from the outside world."

"In general, no matter what the outcome is, for us at the ICAC, this is what we should do. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" everyone shouted solemnly.

Seeing this, Lu Zhilian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but because his expression was very stiff, the raised corners of his mouth were not obvious, and instead looked a little strange.

But no one cared, they were already used to his stiff expression.

"Commissioner, since you have no objection, I will set up a special task force later to investigate Watson's background. Rumors about him are spreading like wildfire. No matter what the outcome is, we should speed up to avoid any bad things from happening!"

Fan Peifang nodded and said, "Okay, Zhilian, I'll leave this matter to you. I trust your ability and believe you can handle this matter perfectly."

Lu Zhilian nodded solemnly and said, "Thank you for your trust, Commissioner. I will work hard!"

After the meeting, Lu Zhilian personally selected the members of the task force, and then led a large number of task force members and Watson to his villa.

"By the way, Director Lu, let me explain in advance that the house I'm currently living in belongs to my girlfriend. She runs a company and is quite wealthy, and I'm just staying here for free. You can search it, but please return everything to its original state after the search. That should be fine, right?"

Lu Zhilian nodded and said, "Hua Sir, please rest assured, we still have this professional ethics."

Soon, everyone arrived at the door of Watson's villa. Hearing the noise, the three women of Qiu Di came out with servants and bodyguards. These servants all had clean backgrounds, and the bodyguards were hired from a security company.

Seeing so many people, the three Qiudi girls were a little surprised. Watson quickly stepped forward and said, "Don't panic, everyone. These people are here to search our house and collect evidence. Everyone must cooperate with them. No matter what they ask, you must answer honestly!"

Qiu Di and the others looked at Watson's calm face and felt relieved. They thought something had happened to Watson!

Lu Zhilian also stepped forward, standing in front of Qiu Di and the others, showing his ID and saying, "I am Lu Zhilian, Chief Investigator of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. I am here to search his residence and collect evidence."

Qiu Di nodded and said, "Okay, please come in. If you need anything, you can tell me!"

Lu Zhilian waved his hand, and the people behind him immediately rushed into the villa. He smiled stiffly and said, "I guess you are Miss Qiu Di, who has been in love with Hua Sir for many years."

Qiu Di nodded and said, "Well, we have indeed been in love for several years. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Lu Zhilian looked at He Min and Yuan Ke'er beside her meaningfully and said, "There's nothing wrong with falling in love, but I wonder who these two are next to you?"

"Oh, them, they are all my good sisters. My house is so big, so I invited them to live with me. Is this not illegal?" Qiu Di said directly, without any panic on his face, just a calm face.

The current Qiu Di is no longer the Qiu Di who used to sell alcohol in the bar. Now she is the chairman of a large company. Although she does not have much control over the affairs, some major matters still need to be determined by her.

After years of training, she successfully completed her transformation with her hard-working spirit.

When Watson was busy with various cases, she was studying hard. When Watson was building his empire, she was still studying.

With a smart teacher like Zhang Hua, and she herself is not stupid, she learns very quickly.

At this moment, she exudes the temperament of a strong woman.

Hearing Qiu Di's words, Lu Zhilian smiled faintly. "Really? That's not a problem, and it's not illegal. However, as people living under the same roof, we still need to ask you to provide your bank account numbers and other information for investigation, including your two good friends."

"No problem, let's go in and sit down and chat!" Qiu Di nodded with a smile.

After everyone sat down, Qiu Di and others took out their bank cards and handed them to the Independent Commission Against Corruption for registration and verification.

Lu Zhilian took a look at the decoration inside the villa and couldn't help but ask, "Miss Qiu Di, this villa is not cheap, right?"

Qiu Di smiled faintly: "I can't remember how much it was, but no matter how much it was, it's just a string of numbers."

Lu Zhilian: "..." After a pause, he continued, "I wonder whose name this villa is in?"

"I bought it, so of course it's under my name. Don't worry, Watson is just eating and living here for free. Nothing here belongs to him." Qiu Di said frankly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the ICAC figures present looked at Watson with something strange in their eyes.

This is a look full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

When Lu Zhilian said this to Qiu Di, he kept glancing at Watson out of the corner of his eyes, wanting to see how he would react, but Watson didn't react at all, just sat on the sofa calmly.

I would like to thank my book friend Yan Xin, who loves eating flying fish roe, for sending me ten reminders for updating. I will add another chapter to express my gratitude!
