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

Chapter 352 Gao Jianbin's Evil Plan
Gao Jianbin and Shen Cheng have always been in competition with each other. If one agrees, the other will oppose. This time Shen Cheng rejected Gao Jianbin's suggestion. I thought Gao Jianbin would be a rival to Shen Cheng and mock him openly and secretly at the conference table.

Because according to past experience, even if Shen Cheng's opinion was right, Gao Jianbin would never admit defeat.

This time, the sun rose from the west, but unexpectedly, Gao Jianbin was not angry at all. Instead, his attitude made a 360-degree turn. He smiled and acknowledged Shen Cheng who had slapped him in the face, praising him implicitly and implicitly.

Brother Xu was a little confused and didn't know what Gao Jianbin was planning, while Shen Cheng was secretly on guard.

He knew very well that in the eyes of these people who had been in power for a long time, the core work was not to serve the citizens, but to fight for power, to unite with their own party and to fight against those who were different from them, to overthrow their opponents and climb up, and to rush to gain more power and higher status.

Apart from this, everything can be compromised and can become a battlefield for bargaining.

After something happens, the first thing they think about is not what to do about the matter itself, but what benefits this incident can bring to me and how to use it to maximize the benefits.

Gao Jianbin is a complete speculator who only cares about profit. This is Shen Cheng's biggest feeling after getting along with him for the past three years. He knows this man too well.

Shen Cheng has been extremely annoyed by this, but there is nothing he can do. Perhaps this is the essence of the power field?

It's the same everywhere. The struggle for power and profit is always the main theme in officialdom. It's just better in some places and more serious in some places.

Brother Xu didn't try to guess Gao Jianbin's thoughts too much and nodded. Since everyone agreed, let's leave it to the people below to handle it!
But he seemed to have thought of something, turned to look at Shen Cheng, and asked hesitantly: "But the identity of the victim in this incident is not ordinary after all, and it has now attracted the attention of many of our citizens. In addition, the Grand Governor's Office has also expressed serious concern. If we hand it over to the West Kowloon Serious Crime Unit according to convention, will it be too contemptuous?"

Before Shen Cheng could say anything, Gao Jianbin agreed and spoke first: "The director's concerns are reasonable. In this case, why not let the West Kowloon Police Station form a special task force and send a senior member of the Police Department to serve as the team leader? This will make the standard higher and reflect the importance of our Police Department."

"And the scope of the case can be limited to the West Kowloon Region. The headquarters can attack or defend. Even the Grand Commander and Boss Li can't raise any objections."

Yi Ge's eyes lit up and he nodded with a smile. If Gao Jianbin didn't always think about attacking others, he would still have some vision and ability in specific matters. He probably wanted to take the opportunity to personally grab some credit so as to surpass Shen Cheng. This way, he wouldn't drag down the headquarters, which was the best of both worlds.

As for his little thoughts, the eldest brother didn't go too far.

After all, he is his right-hand man, so he should take proper care of him. Thinking he has grasped Gao Jianbin's mind, Yi Ge is just about to go with the flow and entrust the matter to Gao Jianbin. After all, it was someone else who made the suggestion, and it would not be appropriate to push the credit to Shen Cheng.

Unexpectedly, Gao Jianbin looked at Shen Cheng with a smile and said, "Director, in this case, the level of the task force will depend on the weight of the team leader."

"If the status is too low, it will seem that the headquarters does not pay enough attention to it."

"So, I think we should at least send a deputy director to lead the special case team. This will not only show how much you value this case, but also urge the police officers to solve the case and mobilize all kinds of manpower and material resources at any time."

Yige was a little displeased when Gao Jianbin interrupted him. He looked at Gao Jianbin in a reproachful manner, with an expression of impatience on his face. He glanced at Gao Jianbin with a look in his eyes that seemed to say, "I know what you mean. Why are you in such a hurry? Can Shen Cheng steal your credit?"

"As the deputy director, I should have taken the lead personally. But I have a backlog of cases recently and I am too busy to be away. Deputy Director Shen has rich grassroots experience and strong case-solving ability. He is in charge of several capable departments such as Organized Crime and the CIB."

"I suggest that Deputy Director Shen lead the team personally, so that we can integrate the forces of all parties and solve the case as quickly as possible."

Gao Jianbin's first words were not unexpected, but he suddenly changed the subject and attributed such a huge credit to Shen Cheng, which surprised everyone at the scene.

Liang Feihu, the head of the operations department, which is the head of the five major departments, was sitting next to Gao Jianbin and was very puzzled by Gao Jianbin's behavior.

This is obviously a great achievement. Gao Chu just showed an attitude that he would not give up until he got it. How come he suddenly gave such a great credit to Mr. Shen?

Did you get brain damage at that high place?
Liang Feihu was very puzzled. While he was thinking, he felt his foot being gently kicked by Gao Jianbin on the right. Without thinking, he quickly agreed: "Yes, Deputy Director Shen's ability is well-known, we all know it. Although this matter is difficult, it is just a matter of control for Deputy Director Shen's ability. I believe Deputy Director Shen will not refuse."

Liang Feihu's remarks made everyone feel a little strange. Judging from his expression, Liang Feihu seemed very dissatisfied with the case being handed over to Shen Cheng, but the meaning of his words showed that he agreed.

It's like the expression and words express completely opposite meanings, making everyone feel weird.

"What Director Liang said makes sense, but Deputy Director Shen has also been..."

He Chaohua, head of the Criminal and Security Department, was sitting on Shen Cheng's right, looking anxious. He was about to push the matter out based on the principle that if the enemy agrees, I must oppose, and if the enemy opposes, I must agree.

Shen Cheng coughed lightly, stopped He Chaohua from speaking, winked at his top general, and said decisively: "Although my work is also very busy, if the director wants me to be the leader of the special task force and take over this matter, I will not refuse."

Xu Dingan had a headache. Although his retirement period was delayed by two or three years, it was obvious that the struggle between these two deputies for the position of director in a few years had already begun. The decision-making level of the Police Department was divided into two factions, competing openly and covertly on various occasions.

Although Xu Dingan was the strongest faction in the Police Department, this fight had nothing to do with him, so Xu Dingan could only remain neutral, or even quietly withdraw, leaving the battlefield to the two sides.

As the most powerful and neutral party, they should step in from time to time to suppress the war between the two sides so that it can be controlled within a certain range and not go too far.

However, Xu Dingan knew that this was in vain. Even the higher-ups remained silent on the matter, and there was a hint of connivance.

One of these two people represented the north, and the other represented the local area. Even Xu Dingan did not dare to get involved in this kind of dragon-fighting situation. He just carefully stayed out of it, maintained an impartial position, and occasionally controlled the situation like a referee, and could not favor either side. At this time, seeing Gao Jianbin pushing the matter to Shen Cheng, and Shen Cheng did not sternly refuse, he knew that the two of them were at it again, and took advantage of this case to open another game.

One sets up a trap, the other breaks it!

Victory or defeat depends only on the result. Although it seems a bit inappropriate for these two people to use this case as a battlefield, compared with the overall situation in the police department, the matter of the Li family's illegitimate child seems less important.

Xu Dingan saw that both of them were staring at him with shining eyes, and it was obvious that they had made up their minds. Xu Dingan nodded slowly, tacitly agreeing to this situation.

So he went with the flow, nodded, and made a decision: "Since Deputy Director Shen is willing to take responsibility and everyone has no different opinions, then this matter is settled."

"We have ordered the West Kowloon Police Station to form a 001 task force, with Deputy Commissioner Shen as the team leader, and to draw on the best personnel from various departments to solve the case in the shortest possible time, arrest the criminals, rescue the hostages, and give an explanation to the victims and the citizens of Hong Kong."

"Yes, Director."

Shen Cheng nodded in agreement. The directors and deputy directors of West Kowloon had no say and could only cooperate.

After the meeting, Liang Feihu followed Gao Jianbin to the office. Before he even sat down, he asked anxiously, "Director, weren't you eager to take on this case just now? How come you gave up the credit in the blink of an eye?"

"Didn't you say that if we want to defeat Shen Cheng now, we have to make more contributions? This case seems to have caused such a big stir, but in fact, it's just a few thieves who want to blackmail the second young master Li for some money. It's just because it involves Boss Li that it's made such a big deal."

"This kind of case isn't difficult at all. Isn't this clearly giving credit to Shen Cheng?"

Listening to Liang Feihu's anxious complaints, Gao Jianbin was in a very good mood. He smiled proudly, took out a bottle of red wine from the lounge next to him, opened it, and poured a glass for Liang Feihu.

"Let me ask you, Feihu, as a senior police officer, is it easier to solve a case? Or is it easier not to solve a case?"

Looking at Gao Jianbin's mysterious smile, Liang Feihu was stunned. What do you mean it's not easy to solve the case?

After thinking about it carefully and trying to figure out the meaning of Gao Jianbin's words, he felt something in his heart and vaguely grasped Gao Jianbin's intention.

But he was not sure, so he pretended not to know and asked tentatively: "Of course it is not easy to solve the case. As long as you don't care and do nothing, the case will definitely not be solved by itself."

"Compared to that, it's more difficult to solve the case?"

Liang Feihu knew that Gao Jianbin didn't like smart subordinates, thinking that they were difficult to control, so he preferred to use dumber, obedient people. So every time he was in front of Gao Jianbin, he would lower his IQ by a few percentage points to avoid causing Gao Jianbin's fear.

At this point Gao Jianbin had almost made his point clear, but Liang Feihu still pretended to be confused and played the role of the supporting actor.

This made Gao Jianbin particularly satisfied.
Gao Jianbin looked proud. He shook the goblet slightly, took a sip of red wine, and said, "You are right. If you want to defeat Shen Cheng, you have to do more and suppress his limelight. But, have you forgotten another method?"

Seeing Liang Feihu's puzzled expression, Gao Jianbin smiled and said, "If Shen Cheng can make a big mistake in this case, wouldn't it be better than me making a contribution?"

"But, what if Shen Cheng solves the case? Then..."

Gao Jianbin secretly despised Liang Feihu and shook his head: "This case looks simple, but it is completely different from the previous kidnapping case. Young Master Li's recent business acquisition was too popular, and hundreds of millions became tens of billions. Who wouldn't be jealous? This is obviously an extreme behavior of envy and jealousy."

"Maybe some wealthy families are behind this. Look at how decisive and ruthless they are. They are well-trained and unlike ordinary kidnappers. Kidnappers kidnap people for money and usually won't kill people because that would escalate the case and attract the attention of the police."

"But in yesterday's case, the criminals had no scruples. Don't you remember what day it was last night?"

While analyzing the doubts, Gao Jianbin said, "Under the watchful eyes of the public, those people were so bold as to run to the core of Hong Kong Island and kidnap people right under everyone's noses. It can be seen that they are very familiar with the whereabouts of Young Master Li's family."

"Last night, there were police everywhere on the streets, but those people were not afraid at all. They calmly committed the crime and left smoothly. They have not left any traces. It is obvious that there are people supporting these people."

After that, he looked at Liang Feihu again, smiled and said something meaningful: "Besides, they chose West Kowloon, which is Shen Cheng's misfortune."

"Director, what happened in West Kowloon?"

Gao Jianbin gave Liang Feihu an unfathomable look and said, "West Kowloon is our territory, and everyone in it is yours. Although several major operational departments are under Shen Cheng's name, you have been operating there for more than ten years, and you are deeply rooted. The progress of solving the case is always under our control. It's not too arrogant to say that whether the case can be solved or not is not a matter of our words."

Well.
Liang Feihu saw the faint and obscure light flashing in Gao Jianbin's eyes, and instantly understood. As he expected, Liang Feihu had vaguely guessed that Gao Jianbin might be up to something, and this was indeed his idea.

What a vicious plot, huh?

This case is not easy to solve, but if it cannot be solved, isn't that too easy?
Any slight tampering would turn it into a mess, making Shen Cheng overwhelmed and it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed.
