Police Superintendent Gong stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in his office, his gaze steadily fixed on the distant city night scene. On the desk behind him lay a thick stack of investigation documents, detailing the Xiao organization's recent movements and the identities of some of its members.
"Zhao Wenkang..." Ah Rong frowned as she reviewed the latest intelligence. "His political and business relationships are complex. Without solid evidence, rash action will only alert him."
"Zhao Wenkang's power is unfathomable. Like Han Qingsheng, he's a master of both legal and illegal worlds," Ah Xian added. "But unlike Han Qingsheng, who preferred violence, Zhao Wenkang is more adept at manipulating public opinion and economic means. He presents himself as an upright politician, but we've gathered evidence of his involvement in human trafficking and arms dealing."
Police Superintendent Gong tapped the table, signaling the two to look at a specific file photo.
"This is Iron Fist, real name Chen Yue, a former underground boxer, wanted for illegal fighting, but disappeared a few years later. Shui She, real name Wu Xi, her family was massacred in a gang war, and she suddenly appeared in Zhao Wenkang's security system after years of disappearance." Police Superintendent Gong pointed to the photos one by one. "And Scarface, Fatty, their backgrounds are not simple. The Xiao organization members seem to be desperate criminals, but each has a blood debt behind them."
"These people are like souls forced to the brink by society," Ah Rong closed the file. "They hate not only the gangs but also the injustice of the entire social system."
"What's more noteworthy is Bang," Police Superintendent Gong's tone grew slightly heavy. "His file is too clean. Apart from early family conflicts, he has almost no criminal record. But such an ordinary person can make fierce individuals like Black Bear and Iron Fist submit."
"We need a breakthrough," Ah Xian pondered for a moment. "Bang's family has been investigated, maybe we can start there."
"Someone has already questioned his two younger sisters," Ah Rong nodded. "But they refuse to reveal any crucial information and their attitude towards Bang is ambiguous. They neither defend nor condemn Bang's actions."
Police Superintendent Gong lit a cigarette, took a light puff, and frowned.
"Bang is no ordinary criminal. He's not in it for money, nor is he simply seeking revenge. His beliefs sustain him, he believes he's 'executing justice.'"
"So, we need to break his beliefs," Ah Rong said thoughtfully. "If we can shake him..."
"That's difficult," Ah Xian smiled bitterly. "He's not like a thug like Han Qingsheng, his will is stronger than any criminal we've encountered."
Police Superintendent Gong pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Then find the people he cares about most."
The office fell into a brief silence, with only the neon lights outside the window flickering.
The hunt had just begun.
