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

Chapter 370 Huo Qiqiang takes the blame

Li Kai said earnestly, "Besides, now all the media reporters in Hong Kong are paying attention to our transaction. The police and banks are also involved. After a long time, the news will definitely be leaked. They must have got the information about our transaction from this aspect and ambushed us secretly."

"Brother, think about it, my son is still in your hands. If your brothers are caught, my son will be in danger. How could I do such a stupid thing?"

Dilu then slowly said: "You almost killed several of our brothers. No matter what, this is all your responsibility. So, I can give you another chance and agree to continue the transaction. However, in order to punish you for breaking your promise, I want 1 billion this time."

"No cash, just do as you said, transfer money, wait for my call"

Without waiting for Li Kaize to say anything, Dilu hung up the phone, pulled out the SIM card and threw it into the trash can as usual.

Ruan Xingwu, who was standing next to him, smiled and gave a thumbs up, looking at Dilu with admiration. He said excitedly, "Brother Dilu is really amazing. Not only did he trick Li Kaize, but he also doubled the ransom."

"No wonder we were so reluctant when Brother Dilu asked for cash, but you just refused and insisted on doing it your way. It turns out you had already planned a back-up plan. One billion is enough for several deals."

Dilu turned his head away with disdain, a dangerous and mysterious smile on his face: "You are wrong, Brother Wu."

"It's not 1 billion, it's 2 billion. My plan is to get at least 2 billion Hong Kong dollars from Li Kaize."

Ruan Xingwu's face suddenly brightened. These Hong Kong Islanders really have no bottom line? They are even more ruthless towards their own people than we outsiders!

Ruan Xingwu originally thought it was a bit strange that Di Lu's last suggestion of giving him all the ransom money and not taking a penny was a bit strange. Now he suddenly realized that he thought 500 million was enough and was still afraid of others' share.

But they directly asked for 2 billion, and the 500 million on our side only accounted for 20% or 30%. It's really fucking unfair.

Thinking of this, Ruan Xingwu smiled and said, "Brother Dilu, look, the 500 million you mentioned before has now become 2 billion, so can you raise the price for us as well?"

"Brother Wu, what are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? After we make this deal, each of us will get half, and each of us will get 1 billion. How about that?" Dilu smiled and said readily.

Ruan Xingwu was overjoyed: "Okay, Brother Dilu is indeed a straightforward person. Let's have a couple of drinks tonight and get drunk."

At the Peninsula Hotel, Li Kai heard a busy tone coming from the microphone. His face looked as ugly as if water was about to drip out, his eyes were fierce, his cheeks were bulging, and he didn't know where to vent his anger.
He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, suppressed his anger, and then threw the bad guy to the ground.

‘Bang’ sound!
Broken porcelain pieces flew everywhere. The bodyguards in the room lowered their heads and dared not even breathe, for fear of being implicated.

Huo Qiqiang, who was in the square, looked up at the 28th floor of the Peninsula Hotel and seemed to see a figure swaying. He knew that Mr. Li must be in a very bad mood, so he didn't dare to go up and offend him. He shrank his neck and returned to the police station with his men in disgrace.

After returning to the police station, in the conference room outside Shen Cheng's office, the members of the task force gathered together to discuss the latest situation.

Li Yan sat in the second seat at the top. Shen Cheng did not come out of the office. Huo Qiqiang introduced the situation at the scene and the interrogation and training, and then asked in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, why didn't Deputy Director Shen come out?"

"Thanks to you, the second young master Li has complained to the police department again. Last time it was Brother Yi's office, and this time it was Brother Yi who called personally. Deputy Director Shen is making excuses to Brother Yi?" Li Yan said with a playful look at the uneasy Huo Qiqiang and a slight smile.

Huo Qiqiang's expression froze, his face turned red, he smiled awkwardly, and he didn't know where to put his hands.
After confirming today's transaction, Li Yan handed over all matters to Huo Qiqiang, whether it was personnel mobilization, on-site layout, and seizing the opportunity. When to act?

Li Yan did not ask any questions. Everything was arranged and decided on the spot after consultation between Huo Qiqiang and the two team leaders. He did not expect that it would turn out like this in the end, with a bunch of ordinary workers being arrested.

When those people came to the police force, they were no longer afraid.

I originally thought they were tough guys, but since they were policemen, there was nothing to worry about. So one by one, they kept shouting that they were innocent and confessed everything without hiding anything.

As he spoke, he complained: "That Mr. Wu is such a jerk. He even said that he thinks we are good people and wanted us to feel the enthusiasm of the brothers from Hong Kong Island. He gave us a meeting gift and even treated us to a meal. What a jerk."

"Isn't this just using us as a scapegoat and harming others?"

The police officers of the task force were in a state of confusion, angry and helpless towards these people. After recording the statements, they called the labor company where the people worked, and after confirming that everything was correct, they asked the company to send someone to the police station to pick them up, and then ignored them.

Li Yan looked at the police officers who attended the meeting. They all lowered their heads with a look of shame on their faces, looking as if they had suffered a defeat.

He asked with concern: "Have you checked Mr. Wu's phone number?"

"I checked, the number is anonymous, and it's turned off now, so I can't get through." Huo Qiqiang answered honestly, as if this could save some of his lost face. Li Yan nodded, and asked again, "Didn't you say that a friend introduced him? Can you remember what the worker named Lao Zhou looks like?"

"This Old Wu is affiliated with a labor service company. He usually takes jobs at the labor market in Tsim Sha Tsui. I don't know how many people he has to deal with every day. Many people ask him for his phone number, but he can't even tell who they are." Huo Qiqiang shook his head with a wry smile.

Seeing everyone's listless look, Li Yan comforted them, "It's okay. If it doesn't work this time, there's always another one. Work?"

"Every failure is a learning experience. We should sum up our experience and lessons and try to do things better next time."

Everyone messed up the case, and when they saw that Li Yan not only did not blame them but also comforted everyone, they all had tears of gratitude on their faces.

Huo Qiqiang did not tell anyone about the fact that Zhu Hongxuan, the team leader, had secretly given the order first. He felt that Zhu Hongxuan was also eager to make a contribution and gave the order on his behalf, which was also a mission. If he told him about it at this time, it would appear that he was irresponsible, and who among the police officers below would sincerely work for him in the future.

As a leader, at critical moments, you have to protect your brothers from the wind and rain, so that everyone can be convinced.

Huo Qiqiang took all the blame on himself and kept blaming himself: "Team leader, it's all my fault. I didn't see the other party's trick and gave the order too early, which alerted the enemy and made the real contact person run away."

Li Yan smiled slightly in his heart. The reason why he didn't go there in person was because he knew that he would not gain anything today.

Dilu prepared several plans. Even if Huo Qiqiang did not give the order immediately, there would be other people who would lure out the ambushing police officers.

Are you kidding? A container truck?
Even if Li Yan had a private space, it would be impossible for him to take it away out of thin air. So many people were watching him, and there were more than one tracker installed in the car and the money. Even the hygiene in the sky could see it.

If he took the car away himself, it would probably not be the police station that would continue to handle the case, and the security department might be alerted to take over personally.

This feint was just to create more momentum, and he had no intention of collecting money. Therefore, no matter how smart Huo Qiqiang is, he will return empty-handed in the end.

Li Yan didn't go because he didn't want to take the blame, otherwise, he would be the one making the self-examination.

Huo Qiqiang is now taking the blame for himself!
After comforting Huo Qiqiang for a few words, Shen Cheng came out with a heavy face and sat in the first seat. Huo Qiqiang hurriedly prepared to start reporting the specific situation on the scene.

Before Huo Qiqiang could speak, Shen Cheng said solemnly, "Start from the beginning. I want to know every detail of your operation."

"Yes, Deputy Director."

Huo Qiqiang's heart sank. After learning about the latest deal agreed upon between Li Kaize and the gangsters, he began to mobilize personnel and ambushed around the square the day before.

It was not until they discovered the appearance of Lao Zhou and others and confirmed that they were there to collect money that they decisively issued an arrest order.

Who knew that he would be fooled by the bandits again and reveal his true identity.

Screwed it up again
Shen Cheng frowned and angrily said, "How stupid! You have learned two lessons before, but you still don't know how to learn. You haven't even saved the person yet. Why are you in such a hurry to arrest him?"

"With such a big car, are you afraid that he will fly away? There are so many trackers installed on the car, are you afraid that you can't find the gangster's lair? What are you so anxious about? I don't understand."

Facing Shen Cheng's scolding, Huo Qiqiang frightened for a moment and looked at the team leader Zhu Hongxuan opposite him. The other party also looked ashamed, and when he saw Huo Qiqiang looking at him, he looked at Huo Qiqiang with pleading eyes.

Huo Qiqiang sighed secretly. After all, he had a backer and Li Yan's face, so Deputy Director Shen would have to be more cautious.

The team leader Zhu Hongxuan does not have a powerful background. If Director Shen knew that he messed up the case because he was too eager to make a contribution, he would definitely give him a severe punishment.

I'm strong enough, so I'll take the blame for him.
Shen Cheng cursed angrily for a long time, and seeing the police officers at the table, all of them were dejected, he felt bored, so he said: "From now on, don't monitor Li Kaize anymore. All the people in the special task force, withdraw, and don't interfere without my order."

"Yes, Deputy Director."

Everyone agreed in unison.

Shen Cheng said a few polite words with a grim expression and announced the adjournment of the meeting!
