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

Chapter 212 Han Chen's Head Madilu

Li Yan raised his chin, and Scar stepped forward and took off the black cloth covering Dilu's eyes and the cloth ball in his mouth.

"Brother, please spare my life!"

"I don't know how I have offended you, big brother. I admit my mistake."

"Whatever you want, I'll give it to you as long as I have it, just don't kill me!"

With his eyes still closed, Dilu struggled to his knees, kowtowed and begged for mercy, his fear and terror clearly evident.

Li Yan smiled and nodded with satisfaction. That's right! Facing death, these little hooligans are not much better than ordinary people, and are even more afraid. This is the state that normal people should be in.

Li Yan waved his hand
Scarface understood and took out the gun in his hand and handed it to Li Yan.

The smile on Li Yan's face froze suddenly. This scarred man was efficient in his work, but he lacked some consideration and was too tactless.

How did you know I was going to kill him?

Besides
If I want to kill him, I have to do it myself. What's the point of keeping you guys?

There's no need to scare him!
Don’t you see that he is like a frightened bird now? If he takes out a gun again, shit and piss will flow everywhere, polluting the air. How the hell can we talk about things?
Li Yan gave the frightened scarred man a reproachful look, then said calmly, "Bring a stool!"

"Yes, Brother Yan!"

Scarface smiled awkwardly and ran out.

He moved a chair with a backrest from outside, placed it behind Li Yan, and wiped it hard.

Li Yan nodded with satisfaction. This time it was not bad. He did not put the chair in front of Dilu, but also remembered to wipe it.

Li Yan sat on the chair, crossed his legs, and dangling his toes above Dilu's head.

This was not to humiliate him, but Li Yan was building up momentum for the subsequent negotiations.

"Dilu, look up."

Dilu hesitated for a moment, raised his head and looked at the two people in front of him.

A bearded man with a scar on his face, who was the one who had tied him up, stood at the back. Sitting on the chair in front was a well-dressed, handsome young man who looked somewhat familiar.

Seeing the puzzled look in Dilu's eyes, Li Yan said, "You don't recognize me. I'm Li Yan, a fellow villager of Xu Weiqiang. We met a few years ago."

In order to prevent Li Yan's identity from being exposed, Han Chen quarantined the few younger brothers who had met Li Yan that year and never took them to Ni Yongxiao.

In addition, Li Yan usually hangs out in the upper class and does legal work. Only a small number of big bosses and some close subordinates know Li Yan's status in the Ni family.

Li Yan still has some face among the upper class, but few of the low-level thugs he knows.

Although Dilu didn't know Li Yan's current identity, he was in danger now that he had fallen into the other party's hands, so he hurriedly begged: "Li Yan..."

"No, Brother Yan, I don't know how I offended you. Please spare my life for the sake of our acquaintance back then."

Li Yan smiled gently and stretched out his hand. Scarface understood and took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed it to Li Yan, and then lit it diligently.

After doing this, Dilu's heart sank to the bottom. He looked at Li Yan eagerly with a pleading look on his face.

"Dilu! We have no grudges in the past or today. I am working for Brother Xiao now."

"Are you not white anymore?"

When Dilu heard this, he could no longer remain kneeling and fell to the ground with a look of despair on his face.

He was Han Chen's confidant, but Brother Chen and Brother Xiao had become enemies and were irreconcilable. Black Gandhi and his confidants were shot or killed, and almost all of them were wiped out.

Brother Chen's life or death is uncertain in Thailand. As Brother Chen's top man, I already knew what would happen to me if I fell into Ni Yongxiao's hands.

After hiding here and there, he was finally caught by Ni Yongxiao's men!

Although in this business, it's either you kill me or I kill you, once you get into this business, you're risking your life. Dilu has long since put life and death aside.

He thought he could face this day calmly, but when he was about to die, Dilu was still afraid and frightened, secretly hoping that the other person was not Ni Yongxiao's man.

Otherwise, why not just kill him directly? Why tie yourself up?

Since he is not Ni Yongxiao's man, maybe he is an acquaintance, or it may be just a misunderstanding, or the other party wants money, or wants to beat him up to vent his anger, etc.

After being tied up for a whole night, his strength had been almost exhausted.

Dilu held on to a glimmer of hope. Faced with life and death, he disregarded his dignity and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Unexpectedly, things did not go as planned. The other party was indeed an acquaintance, but he was also Ni Yongxiao's man. It seemed that he could not escape death tonight.

Seeing Di Lu's face gradually becoming desperate, Li Yan slowly said, "Originally, the people below were going to execute you on the spot when they caught you, but I heard your name by chance and thought that we had met before, so I ordered them to keep you."

When Dilu heard this, the light in his eyes reappeared. He took two steps on his knees and said excitedly: "Thank you, Brother Yan. Thank you, Brother Yan. If you spare my life, my life will belong to you from now on. I will serve you at your side and go through fire and water for you."

Li Yan felt bored after listening to them. No one said anything new. Everyone only said these two sentences. He smiled silently and said, "It's not that easy to survive."

"You may not know this, but Brother Chen sent someone to kill Ni Kun. Brother Xiao hates Brother Chen so much that he has already issued a killing order. No one around him should be spared. Besides, I have people around me, and if Brother Xiao finds out, I will probably be held responsible."

"Unless you can prove that you can bring greater value, it is worth me taking a huge risk to keep you."

Di Lu panicked and said hurriedly: "Brother Yan, tell me what you want me to do, and I will do whatever you say."

Pretty smart!

"Has Brother Chen contacted you recently?"

Dilu hesitated after hearing this.
"Ok?"

Li Yan's face turned cold. Scar behind him took out a gun, loaded it with a "click", and held it in his hand. He stared at Dilu with murderous intent, ready to make a move.

Dilu was so frightened that he trembled all over: "Yes, he contacted me a few days ago."

"He asked me to arrange for a few of his trusted brothers to hide out, and then he gave him some money. Finally, he asked me to help find Sister Mary."

"Brother Yan, that's all."

Faced with Dilu's empty promises, Li Yan sold Fatty Han without hesitation. He nodded approvingly. Dilu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Yan was satisfied.

"Can you please tell me the addresses of those people who are close to Brother Chen?"

Dilu was helpless. Things had come to this point. For the sake of his own life, he could not care about them anymore.

Scarface wrote down a few addresses, and then Li Yan said, "Dilu, you did a good job, but these contents are just small shrimps and insignificant content. They are not enough to keep you alive."

"Do you know anything else about Han Chen?"

Dilu was sweating profusely and thinking hard. Finally, he looked up at Li Yan with some hesitation, and then looked at the scarred man standing beside him.

Li Yan understood, waved his hand, and Scar went out.

Di Lu told Li some of Han Chen's secrets, such as the laundry detergent transaction, arranging people to go to the police force, the locations of several warehouses, and even some of Han Chen's little tricks in private, but Li listened expressionlessly, not moved at all.

Dilu gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, I know that Han Chen has a son?"

"Ok?"

Li Yan was very interested in what he said. He sat up straight, with a serious expression and sharp eyes, staring at Dilu like a wolf. His mind was spinning wildly. Wasn't Han Chen not good enough? How could he have a son? Was that woman lying to me just now?
"Dilu, you are not making up stories just to save your life, right? If so, I can't save you." Li Yan said coldly.

Di Lu was frightened by Li Yan and said hurriedly: "No, how dare I, everything I said is true."

"If you can produce evidence, not only can you live today, but I can also give you a good future and guarantee that you can at least take Han Chen's current position in the future. But if you can't produce it, this day next year will be your death sacrifice!"

Di Lu's forehead was sweating, and his expression changed as he made up his mind. He said, "Brother Yan, it's true. That happened before Brother Chen got involved in the gang. Brother Chen's hometown is in Shantou. When he was a child, Brother Chen's family was well-off and was a well-known small landlord in the local area, so his family found him a child bride."

"That woman was ten years older than Brother Chen and gave birth to a son. After Brother Chen sneaked to Hong Kong, they lost contact. After Brother Chen became rich with Brother Kun, he never mentioned his hometown. But for some reason, a few years ago, after Brother Chen was injured and hospitalized, he changed his previous habits and sneaked back every year to visit his wife and son, at irregular times."

Li Yan was overjoyed when he heard this. Brother Chen had hidden so many things.

But it was a little hard to believe. Dilu's words were so certain that they didn't sound like lies.

His face turned cold: "How did you know such a secret thing?"

Dilu said painfully: "Brother Chen actually trusts me very much. When he goes back to his hometown, he disappears for a week and someone has to help him cover it up, otherwise the younger brothers will also be suspicious."

"Brother Chen has taken me there twice before. If it weren't for the fact that Brother Chen's life or death was in danger and I was captured by you, I would definitely not tell you."

"But Brother Chen's wife and children have no idea what Brother Chen does. They just think that Brother Chen is working in Nanyang. They know nothing."

"Brother Yan, please don't make things difficult for them."

After getting the address, Li Yan felt disdainful. You've already told it, and now you're still begging for mercy hypocritically. What's more, you can't even protect yourself, so how can you care about others?

"Write down the address!"

After Li Yan got the address of Han Chen's hometown, he took a look at it, put it in his arms, and looked up at Dilu: "Dilu, are you really willing to follow me wholeheartedly in the future?"

Di Lu was overjoyed when he heard this. Who would want to die if they could live? He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Brother Yan, Ni Yongxiao will not let me go. If you can save my life, my life will be yours from now on. If you let me go east, I will never go west."

"Well, since you are so sincere, I will risk my life to suppress your matter."

"Just pretend that what happened tonight never happened. Scar will send you back, and you will remain the same as before. As for Han Chen, you will continue to follow him. The relationship between us is known only to the two of us, understand?"

When Dilu heard this, he suddenly realized, "Brother Yan, you want me to do it."

Li Yan glared and said, "Do what you should do, I won't treat you unfairly."

"Yes, Brother Yan!"

After Li Yan came out, he stood at the door and looked at the starry sky.

A cold wind blew, bringing a slight chill. Li Yan lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. The warm and familiar breath calmed him down a lot.

People like Dilu can only be used temporarily, and I can't expect him to be loyal. However, he betrayed Han Chen tonight, so I have the upper hand over him. As long as his life is not in danger, he will not take the initiative to reveal his identity.

He glanced at Scar who was following closely behind him and said in detail, "Dashan, send Dilu back later, and arrest those Han Chen's men he asked to come over."

"Remember, not together, one by one."

"Subdue them one by one and make them surrender. If there are those who are unwilling, or if you think they are unreliable, hand them over to Brother Xiao."

Scar's heart tightened and he looked up at Li Yan, who had a solemn expression and cold eyes.

He nodded quickly, understanding what Li Yan meant.

If it is handed over to Brother Xiao, they will naturally not be able to jump around, and Brother Xiao has no interest in meeting these small shrimps.

Considering the fact that Li Yan had subdued Dilu and Han Chen's cronies, Scar had a vague guess that if Han Chen died in Thailand, these people would just be ordinary brothers that Brother Yan had recruited.

These people are of no use to Brother Yan.
A person like Brother Yan would not do useless work. He must have far-reaching intentions for putting so much thought into Han Chen's confidants.

Scar knows that he is not very smart, and he used to be able to survive at the bottom by being brave enough to fight and not afraid of death; but now he has been promoted to the middle and upper levels, and he doesn't have many opportunities to kill people with a knife himself. He has to rely more on his brain to survive, otherwise, his death in the future will not be much better than being hacked to death on the street.

I used to think that the knife in my hand and the gun at my waist were the most powerful weapons in the world.

But since I followed Brother Yan and got promoted to a high position, after dealing with those people in suits, I found that the broken blades and iron lumps in my hands are useless, and the human heart and mind are the sharpest weapons.

Two years ago, he offended a big boss named Brother Kun.

Brother Kun threatened to kill me, so I was left with no other options, so I called Brother Yan.

Brother Yan listened silently and said only three words: "Got it"

I hung up the phone. I thought Brother Yan rejected me, and I was so scared that I was ready to run away.

Less than a week later, Brother Kun was buried by someone close to Brother Xiao in the name of a police undercover. It is said that Brother Xiao saw with his own eyes a Huang Sir from the serious crime team and Brother Kun meeting in private, and the evidence is irrefutable.

The shock this incident brought to Scar was as strong as a storm, and the huge impact caused Scar's thinking to change drastically, giving him a deeper understanding of human nature. He vaguely saw the tip of the iceberg of that turbulent world.

People like me can't even survive a single chapter in that world.

Scar then realized that killing someone doesn't necessarily require a knife.

Sometimes, even you don’t know why you died or at whose hands you died.

From then on, the fiery and hot-tempered Scar disappeared.

Instead, there is Scarface, a smiling tiger who, although looks fierce, has a gentle personality, is polite to others, submissive, and greets everyone he meets with a smile.

Therefore, I often try to figure out the profound intentions behind Brother Xiao and Brother Yan's every move. After a while, I have figured out some things.

Just like what Brother Yan said, the lower-level people rely on sweat and blood, the middle-level people rely on loyalty to their masters, and the upper-level people rely on their brains and wisdom.

Scar secretly thought that Brother Yan should be a senior manager, while he himself was currently a middle manager.

Loyalty is the only magic weapon and guiding light for your survival at this stage.

"Scar, what do you think about what happened tonight?"

Li Yan saw Scar's thoughtful look and wanted to give him some advice. After all, in Li Yan's mind, Scar was one of the candidates for the third generation leader of Tsim Sha Tsui.

He looks rough on the outside but is delicate on the inside. Especially after dying once, he seems to have become more wise. He is no longer as brave and aggressive as before. Instead, he has changed a lot and learned to think deeply.

Although he is still too young, it also proves that this person has room for growth and is worth nurturing.

Scar's immaturity also fits Li Yan's plan. After all, it is still the Ni Yongxiao era, and there will be the Han Chen era next, which will take at least several more years, just the right time to take care of Scar.

While improving his abilities, the most important thing is to implement his loyalty and awe of Li Yan.

Han Chen is no match for him. The time is too short. His ability is not a problem, but it is basically impossible to subdue Han Chen. Han Chen is like the eighth son in Kangxi's later years. He has grown too much and conflicts with Kangxi's expected succession time, so he has to give up.

In addition to being an undercover agent, Li Yan also found some things to do, such as learning to control people's hearts and minds and the situation.

In the previous world, he was born a prince, and the people below him were all slaves. They obeyed him because of their status and bloodline. Old Wu did so because he did not have many choices, and the other brothers finally submitted to him because he succeeded to the throne. They had no choice but to do so under the influence of righteousness and power.

When it comes to controlling people's hearts, he is actually not an expert. Longkodo eventually sided with the fourth and eighth brothers. Turichen did not make a clear statement until Li Yan ascended the throne. Tian Wenjing was a lone minister and not representative. The thirteenth brother still supported the fourth brother at the most critical moment.

After all the calculations, he only took in a few women, and he had the advantage of being a prince. If he were really in trouble, I'm afraid only Alan, who was born a commoner, would be willing to stay with him.

In the final analysis, the victory was due to the blessing of the old man. Those who were more capable than me were too clever for my own good. They did not lose to themselves, but to the old man. In the end, I, the latecomer, got the upper hand.

So in this world, Li Yan intended to hone his ability in this area, which led to Scarface's promotion.
