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

Chapter 356 Huo Qiqiang sighed: My brother-in-law is so insidious!

Even in private, Lin Guoping was unconsciously protecting Li Yan's interests, and the internal intelligence he provided to Han Chen never involved Li Yan's direct interests.

Once, Han Chen asked Lin Guoping to put a surveillance bug in Li Yan's desk, but Lin Guoping declined the request on the grounds that the serious crime unit would send someone to check Li Yan's office every few days. Although Han Chen was dissatisfied, he was not sure whether it was true or not. In order to avoid exposing Lin Guoping, he gave up his plan.

Moreover, no such request was made again.

Hearing Li Yan's touching words, Lin Guoping felt guilty and moved at the same time. He pursed his lips and couldn't control the tears in his eyes.

"Okay, you're an adult now, stop acting like a little girl and get your work done. You're not leaving right away, it's still a few months away, right? Go!" Li Yan was also slightly touched, and his friendliness was not completely fake.

After all, they have been together day and night for three years, which is more time than the time he has spent with his wife. In Li Yan's eyes, Lin Guoping's undercover identity is nothing.

Everyone at the bottom of society is struggling hard and has their own difficulties. Not everyone can choose their own life at will and they often just go with the flow and have no control over what they are doing.

They try their best and rack their brains just to support their families and live a more decent life.

Li Yan has a broad vision. He does not look down on these people with a simplistic view of good and evil. Instead, he finds it difficult to understand their difficulties and hardships.

As long as these people don't hurt himself and don't get too deeply involved and do unforgivable things, Li Yan doesn't mind turning a blind eye and letting them go.

Lin Guoping took a deep breath, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and saluted Li Yan: "Yes, Sir Li"

Looking at Lin Guoping's departing figure, Li Yan shook his head, closed the door, then returned to the sofa and remained silent for a while.

The reception area where Huo Qiqiang was located was only a few steps away from the secretary's office, so of course he heard the conversation between the two.

"Brother-in-law, Lin Guoping is so capable. If he is released, who will do your job in the future?" I heard Huo Qizhong talking about himself.

Li Yan glared and blamed, "Look at what you said. Without the secretary, I can't be the deputy director anymore."

Huo Qiqiang said nonchalantly: "I don't know about other deputy directors, but I know that your work is basically done by Lin Guoping. At least, without him, you will have to work hard. With your casual personality and lazy style, can you bear it?"

"You have to accept it even if you can't stand it. This will benefit both him and me. I can't always rely on my secretary to do everything for me!"

Although Li Yan said this, what he was thinking in his heart was, wouldn't it be easier to just find another secretary? What's the big deal?
If you keep him company, he will become another Lin Guoping!

"Okay, don't worry about my affairs. I know what I am doing. Do you really not want to get involved in this case?"

Huo Qiqiang had a fearful look on his face, his eyes turned slyly, and he changed his words: "Brother-in-law, what's the truth?"

"It's not that I don't want to share the hard times with you, but you know that my abilities are not satisfactory and I am a bit of a slacker. It's only with your help that I can gain a foothold in the serious crime team and secure the position of team leader of Team B."

"This case is a tough one. If someone like me is entrusted with an important task, I won't be able to shoulder the burden and will drag you down. Wouldn't that harm you? Zhang Tingye from Team A is an expert at solving cases. Why not transfer him to the special case team? That way he can really help you, right?"

"You also know that you are just a phony, you have some self-awareness."

Looking at Huo Qiqiang, who was lying like Ge You with a scoundrel look on his face, Li Yan smiled disdainfully: "Forget it, whatever you want!"

"Since you think this is a trap, why don't you just leave?"

"When the time comes to award you for your meritorious service, don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

With a loud bang

Huo Qiqiang stood up excitedly, took a step forward and sat next to Li Yan, and asked anxiously: "Brother-in-law, so you have a clue?"

"Tell me quickly what the clue is. As long as you can find the person, I will take care of arresting him."

Li Yan stood up and sat behind his desk with a look of disgust. Huo Qiqiang hurriedly followed him to the front of the desk, looking at Li Yan with shining eyes, as if he saw his bright future.

Li Yan said calmly: "Everyone can see that this case is not easy to solve. Why do you think I would foolishly jump in and serve as the nominal deputy team leader and the actual person in charge. Even though my position is important, it is not difficult to refuse if I really want to. I can also take a hot and cold shower, right?"

"Hot and cold showers?"

Huo Qiqiang asked doubtfully: "What is this method? Which bathhouse has such a project? Is it comfortable?"

Seeing that Huo Qiqiang didn't understand his joke, Li Yan didn't explain: "To tell you the truth, I already have clues about the kidnappers. I even know which group of people did it and where they are hiding now."

"I have already developed an insider among the kidnappers and bribed the traitor."

Huo Qiqiang suddenly looked up, his heart beat violently twice, and he immediately smiled. He stood up, walked back and forth excitedly, and said excitedly: "Brother-in-law, if this is the case, then this case is like meat on the chopping board, we can do whatever we want with it."

"This case has become such a big deal now, public opinion is surging, and public sentiment is boiling. Boss Li was furious and called the Grand Commander. The senior police officers are also taking it very seriously. Now that the case has fallen into our hands, it will be a huge achievement once we solve it."

"Not only will Li Kaize thank us, but even Boss Li will owe us a big favor, not to mention the higher-ups in the Police Department. In this dangerous moment, we work tirelessly, do not avoid danger, bravely shoulder heavy responsibilities, share worries for the police force, and fulfill our duties to our superiors. Promotion is just a piece of cake."

Huo Qiqiang listed several advantages in a row, immersed in the beautiful vision of fame and fortune after solving the case, and drooled from the corners of his mouth. Li Yan couldn't help but interrupt Huo Qiqiang: "What do you mean by we? That's me, where's you?"

"Didn't you just want to save yourself and leave me alone in this deep pit? Now that you find out this is the podium, you regret it? Where in the world can such a good thing happen? You have taken all the benefits, and you are dreaming."

"Ah! Brother-in-law, don't do it."

Huo Qiqiang had a sad face and a guilty attitude, and he confessed: "Brother-in-law, I was just joking with you. What is our relationship? How could I abandon you?"

"Brother-in-law, you know me well. I was just pretending to be nice just now because I wanted to get some benefits. You see, I have been a superintendent for two or three years. It's time to mention it. Besides, if you get promoted, you will have to have someone to support you!"

"When fighting a tiger, you always have brothers. If you don't protect me, who will? If I don't support you, who will?"

Huo Qiqiang came up behind Li Yan with a scoundrel look on his face, kneading Li Yan's shoulders, tapping them lightly from time to time, and said attentively: "Brother-in-law, you have worked hard, let me give you a massage. Don't think that I am a rough and rude man, in fact, I am very considerate!"

"Usually when grandpa is at home, I am the one who massages him. I have learned how to do this, and even grandpa has praised my technique."

"You're really amazing! You learned massage just to flatter someone?" Li Yan said with contempt.

Huo Qiqiang looked indignant, but he didn't stop his movements: "Damn it, I was just being filial, okay? Why does it sound so bad when you say it?"

Li Yan closed his eyes and felt comfortable all over: "So, I am now enjoying the treatment of Mr. Huo?"

"Of course, you are my elder brother, so it is only natural for me to show respect to you."

"In that case, let me ask you, how do you think we should eat this piece of meat on the grinding board?"

Seeing that Li Yan was relieved, Huo Qiqiang did not speak immediately, but frowned and thought for a while, then said flatteringly: "Brother-in-law, in my humble opinion, we should pretend to be ignorant of this matter, and make a big fuss and investigate it."

"But in fact, we secretly hold the case in our hands and wait for the situation to develop. Finally, when everyone is in despair, we suddenly appear and solve the case in one fell swoop, so as to achieve the maximum effect."

After Huo Qiqiang finished speaking, he was stunned. It was as if the case of Ni's third uncle three years ago happened in the same way.

Thinking of this, I secretly glanced at Li Yan. Was it the same last time?

As the thought came to his mind, Huo Qiqiang's heart trembled and he quickly shook his head, not daring to think about it any further. It would be a little scary to think about it any further.

But he couldn't help speculating that maybe his brother-in-law had actually discovered Uncle San's whereabouts a long time ago, but suppressed it and didn't report it. Until the last moment, when Uncle San was about to escape, he pretended to receive an undercover report and eliminated Uncle San.

It turns out that my brother-in-law has been doing this for a long time. How insidious!
"Well, this kid is teachable."

Li Yan glanced at Huo Qiqiang and warned him, "This matter is known to heaven and earth, and you and I know it. Don't tell anyone else, not even your grandfather."

"Otherwise, if something like this happens again in the future, don't expect me to take you with me."

Mr. Huo is a very smart guy!
As long as he smells some wind, he can figure out the whole story. Li Yan really didn't dare to hang around in front of that old fox. He always felt that the tricks he played could not escape his experienced eyes.

Every time he was glanced at by his wise and smiling eyes, Li Yan felt that all the secrets in his heart were exposed.

So I have to give a special reminder.
Huo Qiqiang felt a little nervous, smiled awkwardly, and flattered, "How could that be possible? Brother-in-law, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

After Huo Qiqiang knew that Li Yan had an idea about the case, he felt relieved and stopped asking any more questions.

Having worked as a policeman for so many years, Huo Qiqiang has handled countless cases and has rich experience. Huo Qiqiang also knows some illegal secret operations. Some things should not be asked about, it is not good to know too much.

I know too much, it is not right to intervene, and it is not right to ignore.
Anyway, Li Yan said there was a plan, so I just had to act according to his arrangement. The truth had nothing to do with me.

Although he couldn't solve the case himself, it was not difficult for Ho Kai Keung to pretend to be a loyal, hardworking and dedicated public servant.

"Brother-in-law, do you think I can get a promotion this time?"

A look of satisfaction flashed in Li Yan's eyes. Huo Qiqiang had gained a lot of experience in the past few years and did not make the low-level mistake of digging into the matter. No matter how much this kid guessed, he should know the importance of it now with his current status!

It is now clear what can be done and what cannot be said, and what can be said and what cannot be done.

"Nonsense, once this case is over, you will definitely be a senior superintendent and take my place."

"What about you, brother-in-law?"

Li Yan smiled casually and said, "Of course it's the position of Chief Superintendent Huang Zhijian!"

"Hey hey hey"

The two of them smiled at each other, a smile that gave people goosebumps, one that was cunning, vulgar, and full of the smugness of a villain. It echoed in the huge office and could not be calmed down for a long time.
