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

Chapter 238 Rewards based on merit
After Scar figured it all out, he felt that it was better to have such a boss. Maybe he could also transform himself and become a police officer?
At this moment, hearing Li Yan's words of not giving up on me and even arranging specific tasks for me, I felt more at ease and had a backbone.

Now I have done all the hard work and can be considered as a half-undercover agent, right?

"Don't worry, Brother Yan, you've helped me to this extent. The top management has been cleared out. The remaining ones are all small fry. Few of them have my seniority and high positions. If I can't do this, I might as well die!"

"Except for Third Uncle, these things are within my ability. I will definitely do them beautifully..."

Although Scarface was on the phone, he still patted his chest loudly.

Just then, Li Xiner came home from get off work!
"Okay, that's it, contact me later"

Li Yan quickly hung up the phone
When Li Xiner saw Li Yan at home, she was so surprised and excited that she threw her bag on the sofa and kicked off her shoes.

He pounced on me, gave me a hug, and kissed me for five minutes.

Panting, he said, "Great! I saw the news today. Your undercover work is over. You are going to return to the police force now!"

"Well, I will be working in the West Kowloon Region from now on."

"Great, let's go out for French food tonight. I know there's an authentic French restaurant on Queen's Road. I'll call now to see if I can reserve a table."

Li Yan smiled dotingly and said, "Well, I'll listen to you, but when you come back at night, you have to listen to me."

Li Xin'er was stunned for a moment, then she saw the ambiguity in Li Yan's eyes, her pretty face suddenly turned red, she gently hit Li Yan, and said coquettishly: "Hate! You bad guy!"

If I don’t do something about the atmosphere and mood at the moment, I feel like I can’t suppress the surging excitement deep in my heart.

Li Xiner didn't even bother to make a phone call and pounced on Li Yan again.

They both fell on the sofa.
By the time the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, it was already past mealtime.

The two of them cooked at home. Li Xin'er was busy in the kitchen with a happy face, occasionally glancing at Li Yan who was watching the news in the living room.

I feel such a sweet feeling in my heart. This is the happy feeling of home that I have always dreamed of.

A week later, at the West Kowloon Police Station, Liang Feihu, who had been promoted to Assistant Commissioner of Police and concurrently served as Director of the West Kowloon Region, awarded prizes and appointed positions to those who had made contributions in this case.

Wong Chi-shing was promoted to Deputy Commissioner of Kowloon West Region and his police rank was promoted to Senior Superintendent. He assisted Commissioner Leung in managing and planning the affairs of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, and was the actual boss in charge of Organized Crime and Triad Bureau.

At the same time, the original position of Group B leader has not been removed.

He also serves as deputy team leader of the West Kowloon Serious Crime Unit.

He holds great power and is relied upon by General Liang as his right-hand man and a loyal minister.

Li Yan made great contributions and was promoted twice to the rank of Chief Inspector. He was appointed as the deputy leader of Group B of O Ji and concurrently served as the leader of the first subgroup, actually leading the two groups under Group B.

Both group leaders hold the title of Chief Inspector. The other group leader is Zhang Tingye, who was promoted to Chief Inspector a year ago.

The O Division of the Kowloon West Region is divided into three groups, each headed by a superintendent who leads the entire group;
Each group is divided into two subgroups, each led by a chief inspector; each subgroup is further divided into two small groups, each led by a senior inspector.

In this way, the three-level organizational structure of groups, subgroups, and teams supports the basic framework of O记.

Ah!
Li Yan took over as deputy team leader of Group B where Huang Zhicheng was, which meant there were two subgroups, four teams, each with more than 20 people, and the entire Group B had more than 100 people.

When Li Yan was an undercover agent, he was nominally a member of one of the four groups, but he was managed by Huang Zhicheng himself.

So neither the group leader nor the team leader knew there was such a person.
The reason why the two of them were promoted so widely this time was because Huang Zhicheng was afraid that Mr. Liang would ask him to go after the 100 kilograms of laundry detergent that had been lost before, as well as the 5 million U.S. dollars needed for this transaction. These were all suspicious points that could not be avoided in the case.

Without Mr. Liang’s personal cover-up, it would have been impossible to conceal it.

Under Li Yan's persuasion, Huang Zhicheng found an opportunity to explain the whole truth of the matter to General Liang. After learning that Ni Yongxiao did not purchase any more goods, he thought about the dangerous situation at that time.

Mr. Liang was also filled with fear, he almost got doomed!
President Liang looked excited. Not only did he not blame Huang Zhicheng, he also praised Huang Zhicheng for his vision, overall perspective, and ability to make decisions on the spot and adopt the most effective approach.

It preserved the image and reputation of the entire Police Force and countless Hong Kong Island police officers.

That’s why Mr. Liang was promoted to a higher rank this time.
Thinking of this, Mr. Liang was grateful to Huang Zhicheng and Li Yan, and in order to shut them up, he not only took on all the aftermath, but also gave them generous rewards.

From now on, we are all in the same boat.
All this was within Li Yan's expectations, which made Huang Zhicheng admire Li Yan even more.

In order to show his importance to Li Yan, Huang Zhicheng also handed over Group C of the Serious Crime Squad in Tsim Sha Tsui to Li Yan.

Although Li Yan was afraid that there were too many things to handle.

Strongly refuse.
But Huang Zhicheng insisted on this. In Huang's words, Li Yan's police rank and position in the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau were all arranged by Liang.

Group C is Lao Huang’s own idea. They should be kept separate and not mixed together.

Seeing that it was hard to refuse Old Huang's kindness, Li Yan thought that Tsim Sha Tsui was Fatty Han's base camp, and he would inevitably have to deal with Fatty Han here in the future. Serious Crime Unit C was a powerful agency that could not be avoided, and even if he could not use it, he could not hand it over to others, otherwise there would be conflicts when handling cases in the future.

Lao Huang used to hold this position concurrently in order to unify responsibilities and avoid constraints.

What’s more, Liu Jianming, this traitor, is still working in the CIB of Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station!
Thinking of this, Li Yan no longer thought it was troublesome and decided to refuse it!
Today, in order to build good relationships with everyone, Li Yan invited the members of Group B to have dinner at the Queen's Restaurant on Jordan Road.

There were more than a dozen tables arranged, occupying half of the hall!
The entire B team has about a hundred people, half of whom work in the West Kowloon Regional Police Station and the other half in other sub-district police stations. It is led directly by Huang Zhicheng, and today, in order to help Li Yan, Lao Huang also came in person.

Since their last conversation, it was obvious that the relationship between the two had become closer. Huang Zhicheng put aside his concerns, opened up his heart completely, and cooperated with Li Yan with all his strength.

To use popular international terms, a strategic partnership has been formed!

Overtly and covertly, on various occasions, they have shown their strong support for Li Yan.

Today he even showed up in person to support Li Yan.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Li Yan, as the host, stood up and called out, "Let's all toast to Mr. Huang and wish him a bright future and a successful career."

Except for Li Yan, who is a bit unfamiliar, the others are all Huang Zhicheng's old subordinates, and they are much more familiar with each other.

So everyone started to cheer and congratulate him, and Huang Zhicheng was also very proud and excited, his face flushed.

I feel that at this moment, all my hard work and risks are worth it.

While he was happy, he did not forget his purpose. He held up his wine glass and said to the people present: "Speaking of which, Li Yan is not an outsider. He has been with me for five or six years and has been a colleague of yours for a long time."

"It's just because his position is special that he is not familiar with you, but it doesn't mean you have no intersection."

"In the past four or five years, all the cases solved by our B team were inseparable from Li Yan's intelligence, such as the Tuen Mun smuggling case four years ago, the Guangdong Road powder case three years ago, and the Humphrey Building transaction case last year. These major cases were all solved with the inside information provided by Li Yan."

"There are some minor cases that I won't mention."

Huang Zhicheng will have to focus on the entire O-Triad upper echelons in the future, and also have to take care of part of the serious crime squad. He really doesn't have that much energy to waste on specific matters, nor does he want Li Yan to be trapped in the quagmire of internal power due to internal friction.

As a result, he was unable to continue solving cases and making contributions to help himself block the open and secret attacks from the upper levels.

This time, I really want to hand over Group B completely to Li Yan, and have him fight for me and serve me in the future.

Therefore, he tried his best to eliminate the estrangement and confrontation between Li Yan and his teammates due to Li Yan's rapid promotion.

I hope the people below will see my attitude and make the wisest choice. Otherwise, I will just give up.
But Li Yan couldn't afford the loss!
In order to win over Li Yan and demonstrate his absolute trust in him, he did not establish any checks and balances among his subordinates to restrict Li Yan.

Firstly, Huang Zhicheng felt it was unnecessary;
Secondly, Huang Zhicheng looked down on his subordinates, who were a bunch of misfits and were not even as good as himself, so how could they be a match for Li Yan?
Doing this would only create conflicts between himself and Li Yan, which was not worth it.

In fact, in Huang Zhicheng's heart, Li Yan has another most important invisible position, which is to serve as his adviser and help him survive in the high-level positions.

This requires Li Yan to sincerely worry about and plan for himself.

Otherwise, he doesn't need to do anything. If he just leaves things alone, he will naturally be marginalized in the fierce competition at the top level and end up in disgrace.

Now Huang Zhicheng's energy and attention are all focused on the top level, and he is really not interested in some of the dirty things going on below.

So he came without hesitation in response to Li Yan's invitation, and worked exceptionally hard.

"Even during his time as an undercover agent, Li Yan also protected other undercover colleagues, such as Luo Ji, who was sent to the Ni family by Lu Sir for seven years. In order to steal intelligence, he exposed his identity and was almost killed by Ni Yongxiao. It was only because of Li Yan's timely report at the last minute that he was able to return to the police force alive."

Everyone turned to look at a big-faced burly man in the corner. This man was Lu Qichang's inside player Luo Ji.

Not long after returning to the police force, Lu Sir died in the line of duty. Without a backer, he even provided false information and helped Ni Yongxiao to cheat the police.

It’s good enough that you didn’t get punished, but you still want a promotion? What are you dreaming of?

So in the end I had no choice but to work as an ordinary police officer in the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau and slowly adapt to the life of a police officer.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Luo Ji nodded slowly, looking at the young man sitting next to Huang Zhicheng in such a glorious manner with complicated eyes.

To be honest, my relationship with Li Yan is even deeper than that with others. This guy is really not simple!

Only then did I realize that he was actually Huang Sir's undercover agent. Whether in the Ni family or in the police force, this guy is very successful and has a very successful career.

Unlike myself, I am not welcomed wherever I go.

As an undercover agent, Li Yan's brilliance only made his own incompetence apparent. Luo Ji drank alone in frustration.

Two colleagues around him knew Luo Ji's worries, patted his shoulders and consoled him, "Brother Ji, no matter what, you have known Deputy Team Leader Li Yan for many years, which is better than being a stranger. Find an opportunity to contact each other in the future, maybe he will be reused."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Luo Ji's eyes, and he looked at Li Yan expectantly.

Li Yan nodded to him in comfort, and Luo Ji became even more excited.
Huang Zhicheng's voice continued to echo in the hall: "And Elephant, Little Bird, and Eight Boy, you all worked undercover in the Ni family's gang. Later, it was because of Li Yan's suggestion that the police force transferred you back."

"In fact, all your work has been taken over by Li Yan."

Several people in the crowd looked at each other with a look of sudden realization on their faces. No wonder they were called back without having done anything meritorious. It turned out that it was because of Li Yan.

Thinking of this, several people looked at Li Yan with gratitude. Other people in the crowd also had a higher sense of identification with Li Yan, and their eyes became much more friendly.

"You all know how dangerous undercover work is. Five years ago, Zhou Jiaqun, a colleague that Lu Sir sent to the Ni family, was brutally murdered. Lu Sir and I both felt very sorry. Li Yan suggested calling back the undercover at that time, and I took on this responsibility without hesitation."
