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

Chapter 355 Lin Guoping, who lives half his life in hell
Seeing that Li Yan accepted the appointment without hesitation, Yin Jianqiang nodded with satisfaction. Originally, Deputy Commissioner Shen Cheng was in charge personally, and all the commissioners of the West Kowloon Police Station must be included in the team.

But after the conversation, Yin Jianqiang found that the situation was different from what he had imagined. Now he had no interest at all and did not want to get involved.

After appointing Li Yan as the first deputy team leader, several police officers at the chief superintendent level breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that none of the next team members would be higher in position than Li Yan.

Several big guys sat up straight, full of energy, looking like they were dedicated to the public.

The middle-level police officers below the rank of Senior Superintendent were not out of danger yet, so they were still hunched over, cautious, and looked like they were staying out of the matter. In solving a case like this, if it was done well, there would be no credit, but if it was messed up, it would bring bad luck, so no one wanted to get involved.

So when Yin Jianqiang's gaze swept over him, he stared at the notebook in front of him avoidantly without raising his head.

Seeing that everyone lowered their heads with an expression that said "please don't provoke me", Yin Jianqiang shook his head helplessly. Yin Jianqiang didn't want to offend so many people at once.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Li Yan, although the higher-ups have sent Deputy Director Shen to take charge, he is not familiar with the situation in West Kowloon. The real investigation still depends on you."

"What I mean is that since you are in charge, you should have exclusive authority. You will decide on the other personnel of the serious crime team. No matter which department they are assigned to, whether they are superintendents or below, you will have the final say. If they are of a higher rank, you can come to me and I will arrange it."

Li Yan immediately despised him in his heart and shook his head secretly. Fuck, what about the director? He didn't even want to offend the middle and lower level people. He had no sense of responsibility.

But it’s also good this way, as I can select the personnel myself, and thus I can promote a large number of my own people. By the time the case is solved, my strength will have increased several times.

It's also a good opportunity to test my subordinates' ability to do things, their loyalty, and various qualities, and examine them all.

The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough waves know the loyal ministers.

Li Yan also didn't know how those subordinates who usually said they were willing to die for him and go through fire and water for him would behave when they faced huge temptations and pressures.
Everything depends on the results.
Li Yan glanced at his colleagues present and nodded: "Okay, Director, since you have given me the instructions, I am relieved. Leave the matters of the special case team to me. As for the other colleagues, I think they should each do their own job. Solving cases is the job of our serious case team, so I won't bother people from other departments."

Li Yan's responsibility and kindness instantly won the recognition of many people. Everyone looked at Li Yan with admiration and expressed that they would fully cooperate with the work of the serious crime team. They would provide people and efforts, and if they could be of use, they would just speak up.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the conference room calmed down a lot.
After the meeting, Li Yan grabbed Huo Qiqiang, who was trying to escape secretly, and dragged him into his office.

"Brother-in-law, what do you want me to do? I don't want to get involved!"

Li Yan immediately said indignantly: "Damn, you are too disloyal, can you avoid this matter?"

"The crime scene is in your jurisdiction, and your people were the first to arrive after the crime. You also met Mr. Li, and I heard that you had a very pleasant chat. Even if I can hide from this matter, you can't get rid of it."

Huo Qiqiang sat dejectedly on the sofa and said dejectedly, "Brother-in-law, this case is similar to the Wan Chai car accident case that year. That case really scared me. This incident is even worse than the Wan Chai car accident case. The murderer was decisive and ruthless. I have seen the bodies of the two bodyguards. Their backs and chests are densely covered with bullet holes."

"Afterwards, the forensic doctor removed more than 30 bullets from the chests of the two men. Almost two magazines were used up. There was no room for maneuver at all."

"Didn't you see that the two bodyguards were dressed neatly, without any signs of fighting, and without any sweat on their bodies? What does this mean?"

Huo Qiqiang had a lingering fear on his face, and said fearfully: "It means they were sent away without even the slightest movement or chance to resist."

"It has been many years since Hong Kong Island has seen such a violent gangster. The person kidnapped was Boss Li's grandson. As the saying goes, you can tell how powerful a person is by looking at his opponent."

"Since they have targeted Mr. Li, who represents the soul of Hong Kong Island, I think the other party must be quite powerful. Especially since the acquisition and integration of Yingdong Digital Technology by the second son of the second son made a lot of headlines a while ago, earning 600 billion overnight."

"Maybe this time, some big boss was dissatisfied and targeted him, and secretly hired someone to do it. Where can we investigate?"

Li Yan was stunned. He didn't expect that his brother-in-law would have such vision, although he didn't see the core of the problem.

But snakes have their burrows and cats have their cat paths. Huo Qiqiang was able to see that the situation was unusual from this perspective, which showed some skill.

Li Yan thought about it and was about to say something when he suddenly thought of Lin Guoping next door. In order to avoid leaking the secret, he walked to Lin Guoping's secretary's office and said, "Guoping, take two people to the company of the second son of the Li family and retrieve the files of the two bodyguards who died last night and their recent movements."

"Also, the law firm where Lin Zhihui works, please find out her recent activities, whether she has offended anyone, whether there are any abnormal situations around her recently, and other basic information, and make a report and give it to me."

"Okay, Sir Li!"

Lin Guoping had no doubts. The case was now a hot topic, and Li Yan was the main person in charge of the special case team, so these things had to be done. Moreover, Li Yan often assigned him to do some temporary tasks, so Lin Guoping did not doubt it.

Yes, in Lin Guoping's opinion, if Li Yan had any doubts about his identity, he would never allow him to be his secretary, enter and leave the deputy director's office at will, and let him manage the information of the serious crime team and read it at will.

And they have been using it for three years, how could they not have absolute trust?
Li Yan smiled warmly and encouraged, "Guoping! Do your best. The position of secretary requires more practice. When you have enough ability, you will be released to work independently sooner or later. That's when you can really show your talent."

Well.
When Li Yan suddenly mentioned this, Lin Guoping's heart trembled, his hands trembled unconsciously, his face froze, and he asked unnaturally: "Mr. Li, did I do something wrong?"

"No, Guoping, you did a great job, and I am very satisfied with your work."

"But you can't be a secretary forever, right? You have your own ambitions, and you need a bigger platform."

"Mr. Li, as long as you don't mind, I am willing to be your secretary and serve you." Lin Guoping's eyes turned red and he said with a choked voice.

Li Yan smiled and consoled him, "Don't talk nonsense. You have been with me for three years, which is not a short time. You have been working diligently and willingly. I have seen your efforts and dedication."

"With all your talent, it would be a shame if you continue to be a secretary. If you continue doing this, it will only hinder your future. As your superior, I have to think about your future and cannot be so selfish."

"After a while, when there is a suitable opportunity, I will find a good position for you."

"Mr. Li, I"

Li Yan was also filled with emotion, and patted Lin Guoping on the shoulder: "However, there is no need to rush. We still have to deal with this big case during this period. I told you in advance just to give you some mental preparation so that you don't appear too abrupt at that time."

"Maybe it will take a few months?"

"If you have a position in mind, you can tell me. No matter which department, general district or sub-district you want to go to, I can find a way to arrange it for you within West Kowloon."

Lin Guoping had long anticipated being sent out, and now that the day was approaching, he felt happy but also a little anxious.

After all, who wants to be a servant forever? The purpose of being a secretary is to one day be able to be independent and become a boss.

But after these three years, Lin Guoping has gotten used to it!

To be honest, the position of secretary is really good. Although you are not a superior, you act like a superior to the outside world. As a low-ranking police officer like the chief of a police station, everyone looks up to you wherever you go.

Even senior police officers at the level of superintendent had to give him some face, all because of Li Yan's identity!

When he went to the sub-district police station to do business, those people treated him as their superior and served him carefully. When Lin Guoping saw those people with higher ranks than him nodding and fawning in front of him, he sometimes couldn't help but feel that he enjoyed it and secretly regarded himself as a big shot.

Li Yan trusted me very much and never hid anything from me, big or small. He could even look through the documents in the office by himself, which made him feel more comfortable and satisfied than the secretaries of the other deputy directors.

Apart from having more things to do, Li Yan never loses his temper with himself.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect!
After three years of getting along, Lin Guoping was sincerely grateful to Li Yan for his recognition and appreciation.

Especially for someone like Lin Guoping who was living half in hell, Li Yan allowed himself to live with dignity without being ordered around like a dog by Han Chen. Although the days with Li Yan were hard and tiring, Lin Guoping worked very steadily and felt at ease!
Watching the documents he had worked so hard on being implemented, the sense of accomplishment was incomparably satisfying. Lin Guoping also truly enjoyed the recognition from his colleagues in the serious crime squad.

This made Lin Guoping feel that he was an upright person, not a thief with ulterior motives.

It is not easy to meet such a mentor in officialdom who can protect you from the wind and rain and consider your needs.

But for Han Chen's sake, he was threatened by him and often secretly sold out the confidential information of the serious crime team. Lin Guoping often felt guilty and could not sleep because of the guilt in his heart. He felt that he had let down Li Yan's trust.

But he couldn't confess his undercover identity, nor could he disobey Han Chen's coercion, so Lin Guoping had no choice but to work harder to make up for his inner guilt.
