Chapter 488 The Darkened Chen Yongren
Therefore, Guan Mingchun not only did not take the opportunity to cause chaos, but instead required everyone in his department to perform their duties, do their own jobs well, and not criticize the director privately.

Guan Mingchun felt that the real killer move against Li Yan should be at the headquarters, with Gao Jianbin, not with himself. As long as he could appease the overall situation, when the dust settled, his superiors would naturally look up to him, and everyone would think that he was loyal and righteous.

As for Li Yan's life or death, he had no say in it.

Li Yan would not suffer misfortune because of his deliberate slander, nor would he get away with the disaster safely because of his saying nice things!
In this case, why should I be a villain? I can just sit on the sidelines and watch the clouds roll by and the flowers bloom and fall!

At this time, Chen Yongren, who was in a corner of the large office area of ​​O-Ji, looked at this scene angrily. He did not expect that the incident, which had just caused controversy among the public, was suppressed by Guan Mingchun.

However, you would be naive to think that this will calm the situation!

After leaving angrily yesterday, Chen Yongren went to meet Liang Feihu and Gao Xiaojun. Chen Yongren was afraid that Li Yan's connections with the upper echelons would suppress the matter, so he suggested delivering the news to the media at the same time, relying on the power of the media to quickly spread the news, and then use the millions of public opinions in Hong Kong Island to put pressure on the Hong Kong government and the Police Department, so as not to worry that they would not investigate the matter thoroughly.

As soon as this suggestion was made, it quickly won the support of Liang Feihu and Gao Xiaojun, who praised Chen Yongren as a natural talent for struggle.

Even the two of them didn't expect this.

So the three of them discussed it for an entire afternoon, talking back and forth, and came up with a complete plan. Later, after Liang Feihu consulted Gao Jianbin, he used Gao Jianbin's name to get all the major newspapers and two TV stations to report the matter overnight, and announced it together this morning.

Later, under the supervision of Liang Feihu and Gao Xiaojun, Chen Yongren personally wrote more than a dozen letters of complaint and listed his own position and name.

It was handed over to Liang Feihu and Gao Xiaojun, and sent to the headquarters supervision department and several directors and deputy directors, and even the Independent Commission Against Corruption. Because in the video, Li Yan accepted money from Han Chen, and over the years, Han Chen has grown from a small gangster to a large group that dominates East and West Kowloon and Hong Kong Island. He must have someone inside the police.

This person is definitely Li Yan, which means that there may be financial transactions between Li Yan and Han Chen. The company run privately by Li Yan is worth hundreds of billions. Could it be that he made money from business? What kind of business is so profitable? He must have taken Han Chen's black money and then laundered it through various channels?
Hundreds of billions?

Even if Li Yan spends his entire life in prison, he will never be able to get out.

Thinking of this, Chen Yongren, who had completely turned evil, felt excitement and happiness from the bottom of his heart. When Li Yan fell, maybe Huang Sir would come back to be the director, and May and Sasha would also return to his arms.

Thinking of the frail body that once lay in his arms, and the stern face now in police uniform, Chen Yongren felt a burning sensation in his heart. He became agitated and fidgeted, constantly looking out the window at the entrance of the police station. He wondered who would arrive first, the people from the Independent Commission Against Corruption or the Police Supervision Department?
The Independent Commission Against Corruption in Hong Kong is an independent administrative agency based on the separation of powers, the rule of law, and democratic supervision. It relies on judicial neutrality and its own administrative independence for its existence.

The independence of the ICAC is the institutional guarantee for its success.

This independence is specifically divided into four aspects: institutional independence, personnel independence, financial independence and case handling independence. The case handling is directly responsible to the Grand Commander and is not subject to restrictions from any department.

The ICAC is committed to maintaining fairness, justice, stability and prosperity in Hong Kong. We work together with all citizens and are unwavering in our three-pronged approach of law enforcement, education and prevention to combat corruption and promote integrity.

Before the 20s, corrosion in Hong Kong Island was very serious.

Even when the fire department goes out, you have to donate money before fighting the fire, otherwise the firefighters will stand still when they arrive and watch the fire consume everything.

Hong Kong Island Police Superintendent Hon Lam Tak, who was later convicted in the ICAC anti-corruption storm, once confessed a famous statement: "Corruption has become a way of life in the Hong Kong Island Police Force, just like sleeping at night and getting up to brush your teeth during the day."

In 1973, Kowloon Chief Superintendent Garber was suspected of embezzling HK$420 million and successfully escaped across the border during the investigation, which caused great indignation in Hong Kong Island. Hong Kong Island citizens hated the corruption phenomenon and took to the streets to launch a large-scale "anti-corruption" march.

The then Governor of Hong Kong Island considered the situation serious and appointed Senior Deputy Inspector Sir David Whiteley to form a committee to thoroughly investigate the case.

Later, the Hong Kong Island Police Force published the famous "Blick Report" which pointed out: "Unless the anti-corruption department within the police force can be separated from the police, the public will never believe that the Hong Kong government really has the intention to fight corruption."

The report was approved by the then Grand Governor.

Under his promotion, the Legislative Council of Hong Kong Island passed the "Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption Ordinance" on February 1974, 2, announcing the establishment of an "independent anti-corruption organization not related to any Hong Kong government department, including the police."

That is the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) of Hong Kong Island.

The consensus among Hong Kong people is that "the ICAC is the cornerstone of Hong Kong's social development."

As the ICAC propaganda says: "Hong Kong's advantage lies in you and the ICAC." The ICAC's "fearlessness, impartiality and selflessness" together constitute Hong Kong's competitive advantage, namely the clean, efficient and transparent Hong Kong government operating mechanism and business environment. For a society, it is not difficult to establish an anti-corruption agency.

The difficulty lies in how to build a strong and sustainable anti-corruption credibility from the depth of the system to specific operations.

Before the establishment of the ICAC, Hong Kong Island was a society where corruption was rife.

A few years after the establishment of the ICAC, Hong Kong Island has become one of the most honest regions in the world. In a series of relevant public opinion surveys, the confidence of Hong Kong Island residents in the ICAC has remained at around 90%, and the support rate for the work of the ICAC has exceeded 99%.

Since the establishment of the ICAC, Hong Kong's anti-corruption work has won wide acclaim around the world.

At this time, the former Man Hong Street Playground is located at the intersection of Java Road and Man Hong Street on the North Point waterfront of Hong Kong Island. It faces the Kodak Building on Java Road to the east and overlooks the Island Eastern Corridor, Victoria Harbour and the eastern coast of Kowloon to the north.

The ICAC headquarters building stands right here!

At this time, Zhang Zhihao, the chief investigator of the Enforcement Department, was reporting to Zeng Xiangrong, the deputy commissioner of the ICAC who was also the head of the Enforcement Department, with a real-name reporting document.

Zhang Zhihao, who was wearing a suit, had short hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and said seriously, "Mr. Zeng, we received a report today that the newly appointed West Kowloon Police Station Chief Li Yan was suspected of accepting money from others and was suspected of being a mole planted by a gang into the police."

"The informant was Inspector Chen Yongren of the Organized Crime and Triad Investigation Division of the police station. He not only reported Li Yan by real name, but also provided a video recording. From the video, it can be seen that Li Yan did have an unspeakable relationship with Han Chen, the head of the Han Group who died some time ago."

"I have already reported this matter to Director Zhou. However, Director Zhou said that Li Yan is the Assistant Commissioner of Police, which is different from the average middle-level police officer. The investigation of senior police officers above the level of military commissioners requires your signature and consent, so I am reporting this matter to you."

Zeng Xiangrong, who was sitting opposite Zhang Zhihao at this time, had half-white hair, a square face, and a pair of tortoiseshell glasses on his nose.

Having been in charge of the most important executive department of the ICAC for many years, he has become serious and majestic. Whenever the departments under the Hong Kong government hear that Zeng Xiangrong has summoned them, their legs will tremble with fear.

In fact, Zeng Xiangrong, as the deputy commissioner of the ICAC, was a sharp sword in the hands of the Grand Commander. No matter where he swung it, he was invincible and all the officials were intimidated. There were bigwigs in the Financial Secretary and the Administration Secretary who fell at Zeng Xiangrong's hands.

Therefore, although Zeng Xiangrong is the deputy commissioner of the ICAC, within the ICAC, Zeng Xiangrong is more feared than the chief commissioner Yao Jinhong.

The current ICAC Commissioner Yao Jinhong is mainly responsible for maintaining the relationship between the ICAC and various departments of the Grand Governor's Office. In fact, the internal discipline enforcement and handling of major cases are all under the charge of Zeng Xiangrong, who is the Deputy Commissioner and also in charge of the Execution Department.

The ICAC has three major departments: the Enforcement Department, the Anti-Corruption Department and the Community Relations Department!

The Executive Division is the core department of the ICAC, with a total staff of over 800 people, accounting for three quarters of the entire ICAC staff.

Of the three major departments, the head of the Execution Department holds the title of Deputy Commissioner of the ICAC, which shows the importance of the Execution Department. The other two departments actually revolve around the Execution Department and do some supporting work. Zeng Xiangrong has been in this key position for five years, which shows that Zeng Xiangrong's ability has been unanimously recognized by everyone.

In fact, this position has always been appointed by the Grand Commander himself.

To his superiors, Zeng Xiangrong has the power to report directly to the Grand Commander-in-Chief, bypassing the Commissioner in case of emergency; and to his subordinates, in the absence of the Commissioner, he can manage the three major departments of the ICAC on behalf of the Commissioner.

In the eyes of everyone, Zeng Xiangrong is the real boss of the ICAC, while the chief commissioner Yao Jinhong has an office in the Grand Governor's Mansion. He works in the Grand Governor's Mansion three days a week and is more like a service staff who maintains the normal operation of the ICAC.

This aspect is similar to the Police Department. The departments that hold actual power are suppressed by a link that is just going through the motions.

Li Yan, who has been in the circle of power for many years, also agrees with this point.

This power structure model is actually very good. Those in high positions have the function of supervision and restraint, while the institutions that actually hold power are below them. When they rise to a certain level, they turn from real to virtual, and are separated from real power but enjoy unlimited honor. They make a transition and then retire peacefully. This perfectly conforms to the parabolic development law.

If one were to step down directly from a position of great power, people would inevitably feel uncomfortable. However, this model not only takes into account the security of power from an institutional perspective, but also caters to the weaknesses of human nature. It is very good!
