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

Chapter 458 Winning the General's Heart

Li Yan was not complacent, but looked at Huo Qiqiang and taught him earnestly: "There is no trivial matter in the officialdom. You are no longer a low-level police officer. If you take a step further, you will be a chief superintendent."

"There are more than 30,000 police officers in Hong Kong Island, but only about 40 chief superintendents. Half of them are in the headquarters, and each district has only two or three of them. They are all capable of handling various matters, and they are considered important officials in the police force."

"I don't know how many people are following you. Their future, fate, life and property are pinned on you. I'm not kidding. How can you succeed if you don't put in a little more thought?"

"Like this time, even if I don't want the credit, don't I still have to fight for your chance? Even if you don't care, your subordinates are watching anxiously. If the case is over, they won't get anything."

"Looking at other departments enjoying good living, getting promoted and making money, how can you, as the boss, explain this to the people below you?"

What Li Yan talked about were the management experiences he had gained in the past few years as a police superintendent. They were not only about some means and strategies for fighting for power, but more about some of the things that people in high positions cannot help. They cannot just consider themselves, but also have to consider the development of the entire system.

Seeing that Huo Qiqiang was listening attentively, Li Yan smiled and said, "Well, didn't you take everyone out tonight? You stopped a fight and got Scarface back at a critical moment. This is a great achievement. It's enough to explain to the people below."

"O Ji is not an outsider. After all, they were our old ties and we have some ties to them. Mr. Huang is injured this time and will have to stay in the hospital for at least a year or two. Maybe there will be a meeting and O Ji will be returned to us. If we don't build a good relationship with them now, how are we going to take them over when the time comes?"

Well.
Huo Qiqiang was startled, looked at Li Yan's meaningful smile, nodded slowly, and his expression relaxed.

To be honest, what happened tonight had a great impact on Huo Qiqiang. If it were in the past, he would have been eager to ask about Scarface.

But now Huo Qiqiang is no longer a Wuxia Amen, he has gained some experience!

Knowing about this kind of thing, I can only observe from the sidelines and can no longer ask questions recklessly.

Huo Qiqiang knew that even if he asked Li Yan, he would not tell him about this matter.

Or rather, Li Yan had actually already told himself the answer. These things were quite complicated and could not be spoken out loud, even in a dark room. Once others heard them, it would be a catastrophic disaster.

Just like no matter how many people have already convinced themselves that Liang Feihu is Ni Kun's undercover agent, but legally speaking, without evidence, Liang Feihu is innocent.

Having reached Li Yan and Huo Qiqiang's current position, many things can only be done through tacit understanding between each other, rather than explaining them clearly like a child.

The next morning, Li Yan brought Huo Qiqiang to the interrogation room and saw that everyone from the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau had been up all night and Lam Kwok Tung also looked exhausted.

Li Yan stood in the isolated observation room and observed the situation across the street through the one-way glass. He asked, "How is the interrogation going?"

"Scarface pushed all the blame onto his men, saying that the beating of Huang Sir was due to his men's momentary negligence." Liu Jianming answered with dark circles under his eyes.

Li Yan nodded, thought for a moment, and said to Liu Jianming: "Let Lin Guodong come out, I will personally interrogate him."

"Yes!"

Liu Jianming looked at Li Yan in surprise and hurried to notify him.

After a while, Lin Guodong came out with an angry look on his face. When he saw Li Yan in front of him, he looked a little dejected.

Li Yan valued me so much that he gave me the task of interrogation. I thought Scarface could be defeated in one go, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this. There was no breakthrough after a whole night of interrogation.

Lin Guodong looked apologetic and was about to say something!
Li Yan patted Lam Kwok Tung's shoulder with an understanding look on his face and walked in with Huo Qiqiang.
Huo Qiqiang looked at Lin Guodong with some sympathy. Knowing more about the inside story, he understood that Li Yan had already made arrangements for this matter.

No matter who you are, don't even think about picking peaches, no one can tell.
After Li Yan entered the interrogation room, he sat on the chair and looked at Scarface, who looked very haggard after being bombarded by fatigue all night, with a little concern in his eyes.

But his expression was very serious: "Scar, I tell you the truth, you have offended everyone by hurting Superintendent Huang this time. This matter is not something that one or two brothers can handle, even you can't. I advise you to honestly explain the whole story."

"You saw what happened last night. Han Chen wanted to kill you to silence you. If our people hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid you would have been beheaded by now. Do you still want to work for Han Chen?"

Lin Guodong, who came to the next room, couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard this. Is what Li Yan said almost the same as what he said?

I spent several hours last night, using threats, bribes, hard and soft tactics, but it was all useless. This scarred man was like a stone in the toilet, hard and smelly.

Sure enough, Scarface raised his head and looked at Li Yan and Huo Qiqiang with disdain. Then he closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

Huo Qiqiang watched the two of them acting in public, rolled his eyes slightly, and smirked.

At this time, Li Yan said to Huo Qiqiang: "Go and turn off all the surveillance recordings. I have a few words to say to Scarface."

"Okay, Sir Li!" Huo Qiqiang knew it would come to this, so without saying a word, he immediately went out and cut off the power in the interrogation room.

Then he hurried back to the interrogation room. He wanted to watch the whole process with his own eyes.

"Scarface, I know this matter has nothing to do with you. You have had a good relationship with the police in recent years, and you seldom do evil. I believe it was not your intention to suddenly attack Superintendent Huang, a senior police official." Li Yan slowly worked on Scarface's ideological work. Although there was only one Huo Qiqiang at the scene, Li Yan still went through the entire process meticulously.

"Han Chen asked you to be ruthless to Superintendent Huang this time. It's obvious that he is afraid of your strength and wants to kill with a borrowed knife to solve your problem at once. As the second-in-command of the Han Group, your current strength has already threatened Han Chen. There is no way he will tolerate you."

"Compared to Han Chen's arrogance and his arbitrary behavior over the past two years, our police are more willing to cooperate with people like you. As long as you reveal the person behind the scenes, I will ensure that you get through safely this time."

"Besides, we have defeated Han Chen, and the Han Group is leaderless. The others are not as experienced as you, so you can easily take over all his territories and forces. For you, it is definitely a great thing. It is a win-win situation for us. How about it? Consider it?"

Li Yan's persuasion from the perspective of benefits did not surprise Huo Qiqiang.

Scarface's heart pounded when he heard this, his expression became serious, and he seemed to be lost in thought. Huo Qiqiang sat aside, watching the two people act without saying a word.

His eyes seem thoughtful, I wonder what he is thinking about?
After a long while, Scarface seemed to have figured it out. He raised his head, looked at Li Yan with complicated eyes, and nodded silently: "Okay, I am willing to cooperate with the police."

"Ok!"

Li Yan and Huo Qiqiang both nodded in satisfaction. Although they had expected this, Huo Qiqiang still breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Scarface was willing to confess.

I always feel that this kind of "interrogation" feels a bit weird, how should I put it?

It seemed as if the scenes we were seeing now were all fake, and the occurrence of this result had already been determined when Li Yan was planning the case in his office.

Of course, perhaps the decision was made even earlier.

Only now did Huo Qiqiang realize that the relationship between Li Yan and Scarface should be traced back to before 1995, when Li Yan was an undercover agent in the Ni family.

Perhaps the conversation between Scarface and Han Chen was also arranged by Li Yan.

Thinking of this, Huo Qiqiang turned around and looked at Li Yan. Ten years ago, Li Yan had been laying the groundwork for future meritorious service and promotion. No wonder he could reach his current position smoothly. Even without the help of the Li family, Li Yan's achievements would probably not be small.

Li Yan stood up and said to Huo Qiqiang, who was full of thoughts, "Okay, don't think about it. You can think about it slowly when you have time after you go back."

"Call Lam Kwok Tung in now and have Scarface take a statement."

"Brother-in-law, I can also take this record." Huo Qiqiang always felt that the duck was already cooked, and it would be a pity to give it to others!

“Take a long-term view”

Li Yan said with some reproach: "It is much better to gain the heart of a great general than to establish some superficial merits!"

"You have already done a lot of good things by stopping the gunfight and capturing Scarface. Besides, you have me speaking for you above you, so why do you need so many good things?"

"People like Lam Kwok Tung who have no background or backing value this the most. You are an adult, but you are still fighting with children for food. It's really shameful."

"Damn, can you guys watch your words? I'm still here!" Scarface, who was handcuffed and sitting on the interrogation chair, looked surprised.

After Li Yan finished speaking, he glanced meaningfully at Scarface and the aggrieved Huo Qiqiang, then walked straight out of the interrogation room.

Scarface was shocked, knowing that Li Yan was taking the opportunity to train him, and more importantly, this attitude was telling him that Huo Qiqiang was one of theirs.

Scarface looked at Huo Qi deeply and kept this man in mind.

So, in the future I will have to deal with this casual and unserious senior police officer?
Huo Qiqiang obviously understood Li Yan's meaning. He turned to the scarred man with a kind smile and nodded slightly.

After the two of them left, Li Yan said to Lin Guodong who came to the corridor: "Guodong, Scarface has agreed to cooperate with the police. You should take someone to take his statement immediately. I will wait here."

"Yes, Sir Li!"

Lin Guodong's face was full of admiration and gratitude. On the one hand, Li Yan had only been there for a few hours and had already convinced Scarface, which was something he had worked hard all night but could not achieve. This made Lin Guodong admire him from the bottom of his heart.

Although the surveillance equipment had just been turned off, I didn't know what the two had talked about, but no matter what they said, it was their ability to make Scarface speak. I also had the power to take advantage of others and to induce a confession, but I couldn't make Scarface confess.

I used to think that Li Yan relied on flattery and background to get to the top, but now it seems that he is really capable!

On the other hand, Scarface's mouth was pried open, and I was asked to take over. It was obvious that he wanted to give me some credit.
