The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 176: Tacit Understanding

Li Yan listened to Huang Zhicheng's complaints, and said shamelessly, "All my actions are to cover up my identity. Others don't know, but don't you know?"

"Don't you see that Hong Kong now seizes four to five hundred kilograms of goods every year? One third of them are due to the inside information I provided. You have also made many contributions internally. The senior police officers have held meetings and praised you several times. I heard that you stole the limelight at that time."

Huang Zhicheng looked a little embarrassed. He turned around and stared at Li Yan with a fierce look.

Li Yan also did not flinch, with a casual look on his face. The two looked at each other for a long time. Huang Zhicheng looked serious, with a frown on his face: "How did you know about the situation of the high-level meeting of the police force?"

"Haha, am I working on intelligence?"

"I have many connections and know many people. As you said, some police officers are being pushed around by their superiors and have nowhere else to turn, so they privately ask me for information."

"After a few visits, we became familiar with each other. It's inevitable that we chatted a little more, but it was all about trivial matters."

Li Yan knew that what Huang Zhicheng really cared about was not his selling of intelligence or his contact with low-level police officers. These problems were all trivial matters.

Huang Zhicheng specifically mentioned it in order to flatter himself, and finally let it go as a personal favor to offset some of his own merits.

No matter how unscrupulous one's behavior is, it can be revealed by saying that it is to cover up one's identity for work.

After all, what the superiors look at is results, just like what the company looks at is performance.

As an undercover agent, even if you follow the rules and don't make mistakes, if you can't provide any transaction intelligence, what's the point of being obedient?

What Huang Zhicheng was really worried about was whether he would bypass him and contact other senior members of the police force.

Today's Li Yan is no longer the small character who was lurking beside Ni Yongxiao four years ago. After four years of hard work, he has already entered the core of the Triad.

Even some transactions can be participated in personally.

Every year, the laundry detergent transactions uncovered based on Li Yan’s reports account for three-quarters of the total amount of laundry detergent flowing into Hong Kong, and all of this will be attributed to Huang Zhicheng.

With such achievements, it will only take one or two years for Huang Zhicheng to be promoted to the position of superintendent of police based on his merits.

These are just around the corner. After Huang Zhicheng had a good meal and a good drink, he was in high spirits and looked forward to the future with his wife. He blew them all away. He won his wife's admiration and respect. When he was excited at night, he even posed a few more times.

To be frank, Li Yan is now a golden phoenix raised by Huang Zhicheng that lays golden eggs continuously.

So what Huang Zhicheng fears most now is that Li Yan will be poached by other senior police officers, which will affect his own performance.

To this end, he reached a tacit understanding with Lu Qichang in private to keep Li Yan's identity secret and not reveal it to anyone. The price was the information provided by Li Yan, which would be split 40% and 60% between the two.

Thinking of this, Huang Zhicheng could no longer hold back, his expression relaxed, and a bitter look appeared on his face: "Okay, I will bear it. You have a point."

"It's just that you should at least be low-key when doing things. It will have a bad influence and the higher-ups in the police force will gossip about you. Besides, if you are so ostentatious, it will sooner or later arouse Ni Yongxiao's vigilance. If he finds out your identity, your life will be in danger!"

Li Yan secretly curled his lips. It was too late to think of Ni Yongxiao now.

Even if Boss Ni is a fool, he knows that the transaction was discovered by the police, and there must be a mole. In the past few years, we have dealt with at least eight undercover agents, but these are all "fake undercover agents" who take the blame for themselves, and you just don't know it.

If you really knew everything, you would probably feel that things are not that simple.

Even last time when the black guy Gandhi was killed with 10 to 20 kilograms of drugs, a middle-level manager was punished afterwards. You people really think that he is a fool and does nothing.

Besides, Lu Qichang must have known that he was looking for a scapegoat. But he pretended not to know and never mentioned it. Huang Zhicheng, who looked upright on the other side, didn't know at first, but after a few years, he probably guessed it.

But these two people never mentioned this in front of me.

Li Yan was also clear in his mind. This kind of thing can be done but not said. Anyway, the superiors had not received any formal reports. From the surface, they had no idea that Li Yan was doing such cleanup work in private.

Logically, this kind of operation is against the rules and cannot be put on the table.

Those "scapegoats" are indeed guilty of heinous crimes and deserve to die, but that is the judge's business. After a formal trial, what will happen will be decided.

It is not up to Li Yanlai or Huang Lu to arrange their fate.

This is morally acceptable and can live up to one's conscience. Evil will be punished, and it doesn't matter how one dies, because it will eventually come to that point.

What, you said there is no death penalty in Hong Kong?

Life imprisonment is worse than death. It is better to be reborn and start a new life as soon as possible to avoid suffering!

But from a legal perspective, this cannot be done.

But they also understood that Li Yan had good intentions and was forced to do so.

If there is a mistake in the internal transaction of the triad, it is necessary to find out where the problem is, and catching the undercover is indispensable. If there is no "correct" explanation, Ni Yongxiao will not give up, and the next transaction will not be easily carried out.

So, the two of them turned a blind eye and acquiesced to Li Yan's behavior.

As the saying goes, ignorance is no crime.

If this layer of window paper was broken, all three of them would be embarrassed, especially the two superiors.

Due to their status, they must have forbidden it, otherwise they would be committing a mistake knowingly. But in this way, Li Yan would definitely not be able to provide clues frequently, and the two would not be able to easily make meritorious deeds.

It is not easy for the police to solve a case. They may rack their brains, forget about food and sleep, mobilize the entire department's manpower and resources, collect intelligence extensively, and study and hold meetings day and night, but they may not necessarily make a major breakthrough in the end.

There are some things in this world that you won't get results just by spending time and energy on. Moreover, a lot of police resources were wasted, and in the end nothing was achieved, and there was no way to explain to the superiors.

It will also affect one's authority as a leader.

After a long time, the younger brothers will also find out that the boss is just as incompetent and helpless as us!

If something like this happens a few times, people's morale will be broken and it will be difficult to lead the team.

Through Li Yan, one can easily obtain first-hand transaction information. All he has to do is reserve a good amount of time, arrange a full set of people under the department to show off in front of him in advance, and then take people to capture the person and everything will be fine.

After gaining the admiration and respect of your subordinates, you can then go to your superiors to gain both fame and fortune.

Once you've had a taste of 'quick money', you'll never be able to tolerate the slow, slow way of solving cases again.

So the two of them hit it off immediately and understood each other tacitly.

If we don’t make it clear, no one will be guilty; once it is revealed, everyone will be guilty!

The two chose to turn a blind eye to Li Yan's secret operations.

Especially Lu Qichang. After the incident of covering up for Luo Ji four years ago, he often called me to keep in touch with me whenever he had nothing to do.

In the name of being a superior caring about subordinates, they speak indirect and implicit ways, calling each other brothers and trying to get close to them.
