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

Chapter 361 Frowning and coming up with a sinister plan

In the car, Huo Qiqiang asked, "Brother-in-law, we are here to investigate a case, but Young Master Li never mentioned this from beginning to end. How are we going to explain this to Team Leader Shen when we get back?"

"What's so difficult about that? We've already been here. If he doesn't cooperate, what else can we do?" Li Yan said casually without caring much.

The biggest gain of this trip was getting to know Mr. Li. Mr. Li was a person that Boss Li had been promoting for the past few years. He would have a man-made fortune for many years. It would be a pity not to take this ride.

Although Li Yan will not focus his main energy on making money, why would he miss the opportunity to get something for free?
Although he doesn't care about money, there are many people who care about money. As an important bargaining chip and tool, Li Yan also needs a huge amount of money to help himself complete the task assigned by the system.

Making money is more important than solving the case. For Shen Cheng, he just needs to do his job. The case has just begun, how can we get to the end? It is impossible for Shen Cheng to solve the case as soon as he arrives and the task force is just established?
There have to be ups and downs, back and forth, otherwise how can we show the complexity of the case and the difficulty of solving it? Otherwise, after the case is closed, it will be too embarrassing to ask for benefits from the higher-ups.
Li Kaize's resistance was completely within Li Yan's expectations. What Li Yan wanted was Li Kaize's non-cooperation.

Only by not cooperating can you increase the difficulty of solving the case and show your own extraordinary ability.

Although Shen Cheng's attitude was very good now, he still acted like a superior and spoke very nicely.

But the underlying attitude is: I can definitely handle it, but I am a senior officer and I am proud of my status, so I will give you the opportunity to make a contribution, so go ahead and do your best!
This made Li Yan somewhat unhappy. If his superiors thought that this case was simple, then even if he solved the case, what would be worthy of praise?
Therefore, the most urgent task is not to rush to solve the case, but to increase the difficulty level first, to stump the task force, force Shen Cheng to step down, and then make him helpless.

Finally, when everyone was in despair and had no hope of solving the case, Li Yan came forward again and solved the case.

After such an operation, would Li Yan appear more wise and intelligent, and his image would be more high-profile in the eyes of the police force?

Li Yan stroked his chin while thinking, secretly calculating in his mind
After making up his mind, Li Yan sighed in his heart again. It must be said that after entering Infernal Affairs for nearly ten years and working hard at the grassroots level, Li Yan's basic skills have become much more solid.

Basically, as long as he frowns, he can come up with a sinister trick.

It seems that playing tricks is also a technical job, which requires a lot of practical experience and constant attempts. As the saying goes, if you read thousands of books, you will be able to write like a god.

There are many tricks, and you can put them into practice, eliminate the dross and retain the essence, and then summarize the experience and lessons and come up with better solutions. Continue to experiment, and after a long time and many times, you will always find the best and most effective method, and you will be able to play various tricks with ease.

Of course, plotting conspiracies doesn't mean you're a bad person.

Li Yan believes that the biggest difference is that these things are just tools and weapons. If you use them against bad guys, you are a good person.

Use it against good people, and you will be a bad person
But no matter what, it is necessary to strengthen the research and development and upgrading of weapons, as well as to master more powerful weapons.

A weak country has no diplomacy; the most important thing is to become strong.

As for being a good guy or a bad guy?
Is this a question that people like me need to consider? This has never been a question.
"Brother-in-law, we have to solve the case, right? We can't just leave it aside and do nothing about it," Huo Qiqiang asked helplessly.

Li Yan frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Kidnapping is kidnapping, murder is murder. Didn't two bodyguards die? You can ask your subordinates to investigate the deaths of the two bodyguards. Mr. Li refused our participation in the kidnapping case, but he won't ask his subordinates to refuse to investigate the murder case, right? He doesn't have the power to use this as an excuse to indirectly investigate the kidnapping case."

"As for Young Master Li, we asked the CIB to monitor the signal through the telecommunications company. I don't think Young Master Li is unwilling to cooperate with our investigation, but he is worried that our intervention will cause trouble for the criminals and affect the safety of his son's life."

Huo Qiqiang asked back: "But, Mr. Li is very hostile to the police. We spent a lot of time to get a meeting with him. Others came but couldn't even see him."

"What does it matter? We can just do it secretly. It's not your first day working in the serious crime squad. You can use all the methods to solve the case."

"Secretly send someone to connect the telephone line in Li Ershao's office to an external line. In addition, bribe the cleaners and place eavesdropping equipment to monitor Li Ershao's bank account. Pay attention to the movement and transfer of large sums of funds from the bank. Send someone to monitor Li Ershao's whereabouts 24 hours a day, etc."

"Whatever needs to be done, just do it!"

"Anyway, we have to create a big momentum, at least to fool Deputy Director Shen and the team members below. Our secret troops will only cause a black swan event at the most critical moment."

"Of course, it's best not to reveal the secret of the surprise attack, because I still need to use this hidden weapon."

"I will not be involved in this matter. I will leave it entirely to you. This is the time to exercise your abilities. Of course, it would be best if you could solve the case independently. This is the best. My undercover agent will only be activated when there is really no other way."

Li Yanyan said earnestly, "I revealed it to you in advance so that you can have some confidence and know that no matter what happens, there will be a guaranteed result in the end. It's not to let you do nothing right from the start and rely on undercover to solve the case. In this way, you won't learn anything, and even if you get promoted in the end, it's cheating, which is dishonorable."

"Don't tell me that you, Huo Qiqiang, a superintendent of the serious crime squad, can't solve the case and complete the task without cheating?"

Li Yan's question startled Huo Qiqiang. The excitement on his face gradually disappeared. His face became heavy and he nodded solemnly, feeling a little indignant.

He also secretly made up his mind that he would try to solve the case without relying on Li Yan.
"By the way, are the people in your task force, especially the group leaders and team leaders, reliable?" Huo Qiqiang was stunned: "Of course, how can my people not listen to me?"

"That's not necessarily the case, you are like this."

Li Yan said something quietly. After Huo Qiqiang heard it, he asked anxiously, "Brother-in-law, is this necessary? I can't even handle my own people, so why do I have to do these little tricks secretly?"

"People's hearts are hidden, so it's right to be more careful. Just listen to me. It's best if nothing happens. In case of some unexpected situations, you won't be calculated by others. At least you have to know which people you can trust and which people you need to be careful of."

"Okay!" Huo Qiqiang was obviously unhappy and responded with a reply.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the business was over, Huo Qiqiang couldn't help but ask, "Brother-in-law, how do you have so much money?"

Li Yan lay on the passenger seat and moved the backrest back a little to make himself more comfortable.

"It's none of your business, just drive your car!"

"no."

Huo Qiqiang had a puzzled look on his face, as if he had eaten shit, and he complained, "Brother-in-law, I just don't understand. My police rank is only one level lower than yours, and I'm a genuine third-generation rich man. And you're just a fake third-generation who changed careers halfway through. Why did you get promoted faster than me? That's fine, you're smart and experienced."

"But you're better at making money than me, so I just can't accept it. In terms of relationships, connections, and opportunities, how am I any worse than you? I used to think I was pretty impressive with tens of millions, but today you scared me by taking out 1 billion without hesitation and investing it in Young Master Li's new project."

"Don't you usually sleep in the office? Besides, how could the Li family allow you to mobilize so much funds and spend them at will?"

"You easily attracted 5 billion in hot money. Where did you get it from?"

Li Yan said casually: "It is because you are a genuine third generation, you have been spoiled since childhood and lack tempering, so you are not as good as me."

"As for the issue of funds, that's my own money. It has nothing to do with the Li family. Why should they interfere with me?"

Li Yan ignored Huo Qiqiang's second question and explained the first question: "Didn't I just tell Li Kaize? You heard it too. I invested 100 million in his Jiadexin project. You also know what happened later. He unconditionally invested the Cyberport concept into Jiadexin, and it was successfully listed with a market value of over 60 billion."

"How much did he invest? More than 300 million, which is 200 times more. If I had participated in the beginning, it would not be 1 billion now, but 20 billion."

Huo Qiqiang's eyes sparkled, and an expression of envy and jealousy was clearly visible on his face. He asked in confusion, "Brother-in-law, I know that my cousin will definitely have some dowry when she gets married. One hundred million is not a lot, but why did you dare to invest in Second Young Master Li?"

"You know, everyone was not optimistic about it at the beginning. They all said that Young Master Li's Cyberport was just a scam, a hollow one, and a scam!"

"Why do you believe he can do it?"

Li Yan smiled and looked at the conflicted Huo Qiqiang with a slightly smug expression. He thought about it and realized that Huo Qiqiang was also his most solid supporter and a staunch ally, and he also had the trust of Mr. Huo.

I also have the obligation to accompany and educate him. As long as Huo Qiqiang grows up, Mr. Huo will definitely remember my kindness, which may be of great use to me at the critical moment.

What's more, I have been getting along pretty well with this kid Huo Qiqiang over the past few years. We are of similar age and have similar personalities.

After working in the serious crime squad for more than two years, Huo Qiqiang has lost his former impetuous temper and has become a much more down-to-earth person. It is time for him to give some advice.

So he expressed his inference that Boss Li was old and wanted to promote his son and build momentum for him.

"Boss Li's trillion-dollar empire must need an heir. No matter what industry you are in, a person's reputation is like a tree. Without a prominent reputation and influence, you can't rock the place."

"Whether it's the Li family, the Huo family, the Bao family, the He family, the Guo family, or any of the other prominent families in Hong Kong, what have they relied on to stand firm for decades?"

"To put it bluntly, it is the influence of the outstanding people of the older generation. This is a golden signboard. As long as these famous people of the older generation are alive, even if they only have one breath left and can't even talk or walk on their own, they can still deter a large number of potential rivals who are coveting and spying on us."

"Otherwise, you are a young man with no reputation, and you have inherited hundreds of billions of wealth all at once. Who would believe that you can keep it? Once everyone doubts you, they will test you. After a few waves of attacks, if your defense makes a slight mistake, the countless wolves will seize the opportunity to pounce on you and tear you to pieces."

“Once this momentum is formed, even if the older generation is resurrected, there will be nothing they can do about it.”
