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

Chapter 394: Hidden Dangers of Aftermath

"Li Yan, with so much money, you wouldn't be tempted, right?" Shen Cheng teased with a smile when he saw that Li Yan seemed to be hesitant to talk.

"how could be?"

Li Yan said frankly: "Although I am only paid by the police station, I am clean-handed and innocent. But my wife's family has plenty of money, and she doesn't have to worry about food, drink, or enjoyment. I am already very satisfied. Why do I need so much money?"

When Li Yan said this, he looked down upon money and cast a contemptuous glance at the cash wall beside him. However, his eyes were still attracted for a moment, his pupils unconsciously widened, and his breathing became faster.

It's totally a conditioned reflex.
Li Yan turned around quickly. Every time he saw the room full of cash, although he looked like he didn't care, his heart was bleeding!
Even if a person is very rich, facing 500 or 600 million in cash, the impact is not something that ordinary people can withstand. Moreover, Li Yan feels that his love for money is no different from that of ordinary people, and he is super friendly.

Li Yan took Shen Cheng out of the inner room and came to the outer room: "Director, if it was a normal case, the money would naturally be returned to the victim, but this case is different?"

"What's the difference? Isn't it just a kidnapping and extortion case?" Shen Cheng asked with a frown.

It's not that Li Yan is smarter than Shen Cheng, but Li Yan had already thought about how to deal with this situation, and Shen Cheng had encountered too many things this evening. At the moment, his mind is still revolving around the doubts exposed in tonight's somewhat confusing actions, and he didn't think about the aftermath for a while.

Li Yan explained: "Deputy Director, these kidnappers have been wreaking havoc for several years. Who knows how many cases they have committed, how many people they have kidnapped, and how much money they have extorted in total?"

"They can't possibly put all the money here and guard it without food or water, right? There must be only a portion of it here, but there are already so many of them. Will the rest that were taken away be even more?"

Li Yan reminded: "Let's not talk about anything else. The second son of the Li family transferred 1 billion a few days ago. Where did the money go?"

"What do you mean?" Shen Cheng was gradually attracted by Li Yan's analysis and began to follow Li Yan's thoughts.

"Deputy Director, if the outside world knew that we had confiscated hundreds of millions of cash at the scene, the victims would surely come one after another and demand the ransom. Logically speaking, this request is not excessive, but the key is that the criminals are all dead and there is no account book. Who knows who the victims are and how much money they were extorted for?"

"Not every kidnapped family has reported the case. Some people fear retaliation from the kidnappers and may choose to keep quiet. But now that the kidnappers have been eliminated, they can come to get the ransom. Naturally, countless victims will emerge, and there are even some unscrupulous people."

Shen Cheng thought about it and realized that this made sense, so he said, "Then, those who reported the case and have a case value can get the ransom back, and those who didn't report the case will not be recognized."

“That won’t work!”

Li Yan said decisively: "Let's not talk about the fact that those people will definitely complain. The police can't do this. They can't just pretend that the incident didn't happen because they haven't reported the case. Then it's not too late for them to report the case now, right?"

"Okay, Deputy Director, even if we send these people away, the accumulated value of the cases reported will probably exceed the amount of cash here. Who should we give it to? This is another huge problem."

"People are not worried about the lack of wealth, but the imbalance of wealth. Although they are timid and cowardly in front of the criminals, they are fearless in front of the police. They will not give in to the police even if it is unreasonable."

Li Yan said with a worried look on his face: "Moreover, these people are not ordinary people. They are either wealthy people or business elites. They all have a certain influence. In any case, they are not ordinary citizens."

"These people are popping up like mushrooms after rain, blocking the door of the police station and making a scene. I'm afraid that the hundreds of millions of cash will be a hot potato and will bring huge trouble to the police force. It will be ten times more terrible than the kidnapping of Mr. Li."

Shen Cheng suddenly looked up at Li Yan, his heart was shocked, and he could no longer care about anything else. Even the mountains of cash in the house were not attractive anymore; Gao Jianbin and Liang Feihu suddenly became insignificant characters.

Thinking of the scene described in Li Yan's words, I couldn't help but shudder all over.

Yes, if such a situation occurs, it will be more terrifying and more difficult to handle than it is now, and the Police Force will be caught in a dilemma.

Hong Kong Island is a so-called free and legal society where people have a strong sense of protecting their rights. If some people do not know the seriousness of the matter and take the Police Force to court, that would be a lot of fun.

Shen Cheng was originally the deputy director, a senior official of the Police Department. Naturally, he was thinking about the matter from the perspective of the Police Department. He couldn't think of how to deal with it for a while, and he paced back and forth in the cellar in a hurry.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Shen Cheng asked subconsciously. He thought Li Yan couldn't think of a way to deal with it, but Li Yan said confidently, "Deputy Director, I have two solutions."

"Oh, tell me, which two?" Shen Cheng said happily. Li Yan said eloquently: "First, announce to the public that this group of kidnappers not only kidnapped and extorted, but also secretly made counterfeit money. The money here is all fake. The police will take it as evidence and take it back to the police station first, and then destroy it after the case is closed."

"Of course, we'll figure out how to deal with it after we get it back."

"Second, have all the police officers who are here tonight sign confidentiality agreements and keep their mouths shut. Just pretend that there is no money and seal this place off. Announce to the public that there was no loot at the scene and that the ransom was all taken back home by the Vietnamese."

“After some time had passed, the police secretly transported the money back to the police station and then discussed how to deal with it.”

It's not easy for Li Yan either. If he wants to reap all the credit, he naturally can't watch things get messed up in the end. If it really becomes that chaotic, no matter how much credit he has gained from solving the case before, it will all be wiped out.

Because such a big mess was caused, Li Yan cannot be free from responsibility, not to mention that you were just performing your duties as required and there was nothing wrong.

As a senior leader, the most important thing is the stability of the overall situation. If the overall situation gets out of control and something goes wrong, you will undoubtedly bear the leadership responsibility.

Only when the overall situation is stable can we discuss various legal provisions, because these are all governance tools and serve the purpose of social stability.

Therefore, Li Yan would never allow any chaos to occur. If it were not for the prohibition of privately destroying money, Li Yan would rather burn it than take the money back to the police station.

After listening to Li Yan's suggestion, Shen Cheng nodded. He couldn't think of a better way, so he said, "Okay, then you call the director now and report the situation here to him, and then ask for his opinion."

Well.
Brother Shen, I'm doing this for your own good!
I just want to make you feel more present in front of Brother Yi. Once you make this call, Brother Yi will think that the previous call he made was at your initiative. This way, neither of us will lose points.

After talking for so long, you still let me fight.
Shen Cheng had his own concerns. One was that he was the deputy director, only one level lower than Yi Ge. Rushing to report on his work in the middle of the night seemed like he was asking for credit or reward, which made him seem frivolous. Shen Cheng felt a little embarrassed. What's more, Shen Cheng didn't know that Yi Ge was waiting for a call at home, and he thought that Yi Ge had already fallen asleep.

Secondly, there are some things that I haven't sorted out yet, and this report becomes my own opinion, and it will be difficult to change it later.

Third, if the director asks me about some specific issues and I can't come up with a reasonable solution, I will appear incompetent. As a deputy director who personally participated in the case from beginning to end, I don't know how to deal with it. If I ask the senior who was not involved in the case, won't I be looked down upon?

A deputy director must be able to make suggestions when asked by the boss, and the suggestions must be mature and effective, and the boss will not easily reject them, otherwise it will hurt the relationship.

Therefore, you must be careful when speaking, because once you say something, it will be difficult to deal with it!
Li Yan was different. He was a middle-level clerk with little influence. When he reported to the boss, it was not shameful even if he flattered him. Even if he said something wrong, it didn't matter. The boss wouldn't blame him, and he could make adjustments later.

Even if he misled the boss, he would not bother with a low-level employee.

Just because you listened to the opinions of a grassroots staff member and then implemented it, and then something went wrong, would you think that there was something wrong with the grassroots staff?

You just think there's something wrong with the eldest brother. Don't you use your brain?

Listen to the low-level staff talking nonsense
Let Li Yan report the situation, so that I can have a clear idea and make a decision in advance, so that I can have a buffer. It would be appropriate to summarize and submit a formal report tomorrow.

It must be said that what Shen Cheng considered was also necessary.

Seeing the determination in Shen Cheng's eyes, Li Yan gave up the idea of ​​continuing to persuade him and took out his phone to call.

The call was connected quickly and Yi Ge's voice came through. Maybe it was really too late and Yi Ge was dozing off, so his voice was a little unclear.

Li Yan didn't waste any time and reported the successful operation, in which all the bandits were wiped out, the hostages were rescued safely, he himself suffered no casualties, and hundreds of millions of cash were seized on the spot.

Li Yan spoke with emotion and intonation, describing the entire action process with ups and downs, twists and turns, and he spoke passionately and eloquently.

Not only was Yi Ge very excited, but even Shen Cheng on the side rolled his eyes unconsciously. If he had not come here in person and only listened to Li Yan's description, he would probably have thought that the case was perfect and would never have thought that there were so many twists and turns and evil spirits involved.

"Good! Good! Good! Well done." Brother Yi felt relieved to hear such a satisfactory outcome. He was very excited and praised Li Yan generously, making Li Yan smile from ear to ear.
