Chapter 165: Rising 7 levels in a row, even Lei Luo Piggy was dumbfounded.
Old Mo sat down at the coffee table and started brewing tea by himself.
"Brother Le, I know you've never trusted me. I also know you don't really trust me. But it's okay, that's all in the past."
From today onwards, I'll let you truly know me. It's alright, everyone come over and have some tea! Hey, come here, try the tea your brother Mo brewed, isn't it fragrant?
Lei Luo stood up, walked to the opposite side of Lao Mo, and sat down.
Piggy also sat down next to him.
Old Mo made each of them a cup of tea and said, "I went to see Robert last night, and we had a great chat. He's my friend now, so don't worry."
Both of them were stunned upon hearing this.
"You really went to see Robert?"
Lei Luo asked in disbelief.
Old Mo nodded, picked up his teacup, and said, "Here, have some tea. It's really nothing."
The three of them clinked their glasses and took a sip.
Old Mo said, "I know these foreigners best; they're terrified of death. Hunter's entire family was wiped out; Robert can't possibly be unafraid."
Furthermore, knowing that I know you, he's even less likely to touch me. He knows that even if he wanted to issue a warrant for my arrest, he wouldn't be able to catch me.
Because the Chinese man, Ah She, might not listen to him. If he did that, it would be no different from courting death.
Therefore, I am 90% certain that he will compromise.
Old Mo spoke casually, but Lei Luo and Zhu Youzai were even more panicked.
In their view, Old Mo's actions were like walking a tightrope.
How could someone as the top dog be threatened by you?
Old Mo's words were better left unsaid; once he said them, it was as if the sky had fallen.
Of course, if Lei Luo wanted to run away, he could still do so, so he was only worried about his future, not his life.
Just as they were feeling uneasy, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Then the door was pushed open, and several people whom Lei Luo had to look up to walked in.
Those who came in were Assistant Commissioner of Police Thomas, Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police Smith, and Deputy Commissioner of Police William.
In addition, there were two police superintendents.
Lei Luo and Zhu Youzai were stunned when they saw the people who came in.
These people are all high-ranking figures; they would never normally come to him.
Their arrival today speaks volumes about their intentions.
Even the second-in-command, William, came in person, which is definitely not good news.
Piggy and Lei Luo sat there blankly staring at the group of people, unsure of what to do next.
Unexpectedly, William smiled as soon as he saw Lei Luo.
"Detective Lei, your appointment letter has arrived. Do you want to sit there and receive it?"
A buzzing sound.
Lei Luo and Zhu Youzai felt their heads explode.
What did he say? The letter of appointment?
Lei Luo realized what was happening, immediately stood up, and marched in step to William.
Stand at attention and salute.
"Sir, Chief Detective Inspector Lui Lok has arrived."
Piggy quickly came up behind Lei Luo.
Stand at attention and salute.
"Hello, sir."
Besides saying that, Piggy didn't know what else to say.
Only Lao Mo remained calmly sitting there drinking tea.
William nodded and patted Leilo on the shoulder.
"Hmm, not bad, Inspector Lei. You've worked hard as Chief Inspector for so many years."
A police superintendent marched over, carrying a basin with a document on it and two stars on his shoulder.
Both Lei Luo and Zhu Youzai were dumbfounded when they saw the epaulettes.
Especially Lei Luo, is this thing for me?
Old Mok said he was a police superintendent, and these are the shoulder insignia of a chief superintendent!
William smiled and said, "Congratulations, Inspector Lei. From now on, you are promoted to Chief Superintendent, in charge of all Chinese police officers in Hong Kong, and fully responsible for the security of Hong Kong."
As he spoke, William personally picked up the epaulets from the basin, removed Leilo's old epaulets, and installed the new ones.
Lei Luo was completely dumbfounded and could only stand there and let him do as he pleased.
Piggy was completely numb.
He went straight to Chief Superintendent? How many ranks did he skip? Let me count.
Piggy found that he couldn't count them all.
He skipped the inspector level and became a superintendent. Is this how promotions are done?
I guess Lei Luo is probably the first one!
However, this is not surprising. Lei Luo was also the first Chief Detective Superintendent of China. Once there is a first, it is not surprising to have a second.
After William fitted him with the epaulets, he slapped the document onto Leilo's chest.
"Here you go, this is your letter of appointment. From today onwards, you are the Chief Superintendent. Let me introduce you."
William gestured to Thomas beside him and said, "This position, Assistant Commissioner of Police Thomas, will be your direct superior from now on. You two should get to know each other better so it will be easier for you to work together in the future."
This is Senior Assistant Commissioner Smith. If your direct supervisor is unavailable, you can speak directly to him, or you can report directly to me. Keep up the good work!
Thomas and Smith came up and shook hands with him one by one.
Why did William, as the second-in-command, come in person?
Isn't that obvious? The top leader directly appointed him, and even promoted someone from the bottom to a high-ranking position. Wouldn't he have to personally make the appointment?
Before the top leader revealed it, who knew what kind of relationship he had with this Lei Luo in secret?
He's a seasoned official; he'll come in person to do someone a favor—he won't lose out.
Lei Luo accepted the letter of appointment, immediately stood at attention, saluted, and stomped his foot on the floor with a loud thud: "Thank you, sir."
"it is good."
William patted him on the shoulder and said, "Keep it up. By the way, you probably know about Hunter's matter. But don't worry, we've already investigated it and will close the case before this afternoon. This has nothing to do with you, just focus on your work."
"Thank you, sir."
Lei Luo immediately shouted.
"Alright, we won't bother you any longer. Don't forget to invite us to your promotion banquet later! Haha, okay, I'm off now."
These guys came quickly and left quickly.
In fact, they didn't have much to talk about. If it weren't for the top leader's personal appointment, they probably would never have come to a place like this in their lives.
Even if they met on the street before, they wouldn't give Lei Luo a second glance.
"Brother Lok, you really got promoted? Directly to Chief Superintendent? Oh my god, am I dreaming?"
Piggy felt completely awful. He let out an exaggerated scream.
Brother Le got promoted, so he'll be promoted soon too!
Brother Lok is a Chief Superintendent, so what about him? As his deputy, he must be a Senior Superintendent.
My God, it's like a dream!
Just then, the door was pushed open, and a large group of people rushed in.
"Brother Lok, Brother Lok, I heard you got promoted to Chief Superintendent? Oh my god, it's true. Two stars! Haha, that's so cool!"
"Brother Le, this is too sudden! You jumped seven levels in one go! Brother Le is truly a god."
Lei Luo still felt like he was dreaming, it all seemed so unreal. He was completely dazed.
There was no way he could accept it. If it were just a one or two-level promotion, Lei Luo could accept it, but a seven-level promotion was something he couldn't possibly accept.
