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

Chapter 468 Xu Dingan's Vigilance
Infernal Affairs without Han Chen is soulless, just like a dish without salt, there is nothing to linger on. Li Yan began to make plans to evacuate in his mind.

Many people at the scene breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially the undercover agents lurking in the police force, when they saw Han Chen's body, it was as if a huge mountain pressing on them was removed, and they felt extremely relaxed and comfortable.

After the autopsy, Li Yan returned to the office and praised Lin Guoping highly. He said on the spot that he would recommend Lin Guoping for promotion.

He also reminded everyone that since Han Chen was dead, the case could be closed and all departments should make a final summary and complete the finishing work.

Han Chen's era is over!
Scarface also made meritorious contributions by exposing Han Chen's crimes and providing important recordings. After discussion, the top police officers decided to exempt him from prosecution.

As for the beating of Inspector Huang, the crime was taken by the younger brothers who actually did the injuring.

Scarface was acquitted and began to take over the Han Group. As the news of Han Chen's death spread, Scarface became the new leader with absolute advantage.

The death of Han Chen once again made Scarface feel scared. He had personally experienced the death of Ni Kun, Ni Yongxiao, and Han Chen. The elders who were older than him all met the same fate. Scarface, a younger brother, unexpectedly became the most senior and experienced person in the society.

But Scarface, who witnessed all this, was not happy at all, but felt a deep fear. Needless to say, Ni Kun was still young at that time and did not understand society at all;

By the time Ni Yong died, Scarface had already vaguely understood the rules governing how society worked, so he tentatively speculated on Han Chen's fate. To be honest, Scarface felt that it was half true and half false at the time, and perhaps he was just worrying too much.

However, now that Han Chen has really repeated his same mistake, Scarface is really scared.

Mar
It was actually like this, which made Scarface feel very resistant when he looked at the dragon head's position, as if he was looking at the execution platform of the god of death.

But he had no choice, because he knew that the one who really brought him to the stage was not Li Yan, but a force representing justice. Even if Li Yan and himself were not there, that force would still introduce a new leader and continue to perform the long-standing drama.

However, what made Scarface happy was that after he came to power, some forces in Hong Kong Island and East Kowloon still refused to accept it and took the opportunity to leave. Scarface was very happy to indulge in this, as he originally thought that Han Chen's original power was too large.

A big tree attracts the wind, which is not a good thing. You can take this opportunity to reduce your size to avoid attracting the attention of the police.

What Scarface didn't expect was that his tolerance and magnanimity made the other separated forces admire him from the bottom of their hearts. Some of them called on Scarface to be the boss, and these forces surrounded the original forces as allies.

As a result, Scarface's power seemed even greater. Even some forces that did not originally belong to Han Chen's power took the initiative to join in, making Scarface's influence even greater. This made Scarface very distressed.
Sha Qiang continued to follow Scarface, and Chen Yongren, with the guarantee of Huang Zhicheng, also smoothly restored his identity and returned to the West Kowloon Organized Crime and Triad Society to become a trainee inspector.

Because of his meritorious service in killing Han Chen, Lin Guoping was recommended for a promotion of two levels in police rank to Chief Inspector, as had been promised before.

A week later, the Police Headquarters held a decision-making meeting to discuss the post of Commissioner of West Kowloon Police Station.

Xu Dingan sat in the main seat, Gao Jianbin and Shen Cheng sat on his left and right respectively. Below them were Liang Feihu from the Operations Department, He Chaohua from the Criminal and Security Department, Liao Chengzhe from the Supervision Department, and Yin Jianqiang, the new Personnel and Training Department, four senior assistant directors.

The seven bigwigs at the decision-making level were all present. Zhou Mingchang from the Financial Planning Department did not hold the title of senior assistant director and was unable to enter the decision-making level, so he did not participate in the meeting.

"Let's talk about this. Who should be appointed as the Commissioner of West Kowloon Police Station?"

Xu Dingan said: "The previous first deputy commissioner, Chief Superintendent Huang Zhicheng, has seniority and ranks ahead of other chief superintendents and deputy commissioners. There is no problem with him taking over in order."

"It's just that Superintendent Wong is still in hospital due to an injury sustained on duty. I have consulted his attending physician and he is very unlikely to leave the hospital within a year. I'm afraid he won't be able to take charge of such an important core area as West Kowloon."

"And this position cannot remain vacant for long. It seems that we still have to find someone else. As for Superintendent Huang, we will discuss it again after he is discharged from the hospital."

Xu Dingan looked at Gao Jianbin apologetically. Although he had promised to support Huang Zhicheng before, things had come to this point.

This is force majeure and no one can do anything about it.

If there was no outside transfer except Huang Zhicheng, the other Chief Superintendent Li Yan would be the most suitable candidate. But it had been two weeks since Huang Zhicheng was injured, and Gao Jianbin had not talked to him, nor had he made any private moves to promote someone else, which made Xu Dingan a little confused.

Could it be that Gao Jianbin just gave up such an important position?

Sure enough, as soon as Xu Dingan finished speaking, Shen Cheng said, "Originally, Superintendent Huang was the popular choice and we all agreed with him. But since an accident has happened and Superintendent Huang cannot come back for the time being, I recommend that Deputy Commissioner and Chief Superintendent Li Yan take over the position left by Director Yin."

"Everyone knows that in this Han Chen case, Chief Superintendent Wong Chi-shing intervened twice but failed to achieve any success. He was also injured and hospitalized. However, even if Superintendent Wong has no merits, he has worked hard. His achievements cannot be erased."

"But the case he left behind was the one that Li Yan was ordered to handle. In a very short time, he turned the situation around, caught Scarface, and brought Han Chen to justice. I think Li Yan deserves the most credit for this case, and it's only natural for him to take over the position of director."

After Shen Cheng finished his speech, He Chaohua and Yin Jianqiang also followed suit and agreed with Shen Cheng's opinion.

Liang Feihu frowned. Gao Jianbin had not given any instructions beforehand, so he didn't know what to do now.
Gao Jianbin smiled slightly and said in a veiled way, "It's all Huang Zhicheng's fault. It just so happened that something went wrong at this critical moment and he missed the position of director."

Shen Cheng and He Chaohua's faces changed, and they felt slightly indignant. Gao Jianbin was obviously hinting to everyone that Huang Zhicheng's accident was related to Li Yan and was the result of malicious exclusion.

"Deputy Director Gao, Superintendent Huang Zhicheng was blocked by Han Chen's men in the Hong Kong Dragon Building when he was meeting with his undercover officers. He was also beaten up under Han Chen's coercion."

Yin Jianqiang rushed forward fearlessly, holding off Gao Jianbin. "This case was supervised by me and Li Yan, and the specific work was done by several subordinate departments, especially Senior Superintendent Lam Kwok-tung of Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, who was involved in the whole process. We submit the interrogation process and case report to the headquarters at any time. If you have any doubts, can you go and take another look?"

Gao Jianbin's weird attitude not only alluded to Li Yan, but also involved himself, who was in charge of the work and solved the case. Of course, Yin Jianqiang had to come out to speak for himself and show his loyalty to Shen Cheng.

Gao Jianbin glanced at Yin Jianqiang unhappily. Damn old thing, one year's retirement is not a golden ticket to immunity from death. Is it worth it for you to work so hard for Shen Cheng?

"Of course, I have no doubt about what Director Yin said. Li Yan's contribution to this case is also obvious to all."

Gao Jianbin did not argue with Yin Jianqiang, but lightly avoided the topic and said slowly: "I just think that Li Yan is only 33 years old this year. Isn't he a little too young? Isn't it too hasty to be promoted to assistant director at such a young age?"

"Yes! I think you should train for a few more years, and then you can get promoted in time," Liang Feihu also echoed.

Xu Dingan raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised. Although Gao Liang and the other two were opposed, it was obvious that their opposition was very weak and almost symbolic.

This strange scene instantly made Xu Dingan alert.

He has been in the officialdom for so many years, but he has never seen such an easy compromise. The position of assistant director and regional director was given to Shen Cheng so easily. It's unlikely, right?
Where there is an abnormality, there must be a demon!
Xu Dingan saw Gao Jianbin, who looked like he had everything under control. His calmness and rationality made him feel that Gao Jianbin must be planning something unknown.

what is it?

With his many years of experience and knowledge in officialdom, Yi Ge knew that things were not that simple, but Shen Cheng and He Chaohua felt that Huang Zhicheng's accident happened too recently and Gao Jianbin did not have time to work out another candidate.

Faced with such a result, there is nothing we can do but choose to accept the reality that Li Yan is in power!
"Although Li Yan is young, he has the ability, is steady in his work, and has a strong sense of the overall situation. I think age is not a problem. As long as he is a capable police officer, we should not be limited by his qualifications and age and should promote him vigorously." Shen Cheng waved his arms and talked eloquently.

Ho Chiu-wah even encouraged him: "I also think Li Yan is more suitable. After all, he is more familiar with the situation. West Kowloon has three directors and deputy directors, and now two are missing. If we find a stranger who doesn't understand the situation, it may not be conducive to the connection of work."

Seeing Shen Cheng's persistence, Gao Jianbin's eyes flashed strangely, and a smug smile appeared on his face, but it disappeared in an instant.

When others noticed him, he regained his composure, as if he was talking to Shen Cheng, and seemed to be reminding everyone present: "I am not very familiar with Li Yan, and I have never dealt with him before. But I heard that Deputy Director Shen often gets together with Li Yan, so I think he knows him quite well."

"Since Deputy Director Shen insists, I respect Deputy Director Shen's choice and will not comment on Li Yan's promotion to the position of Director."

After saying that, Gao Jianbin stretched out his left foot and gently kicked Liang Feihu next to him, signaling him to follow.
