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

Chapter 494 Grand Commandery
Zhang Zhihao was looking around in the car. His assistant Ajian looked at the terrain, flipped through his notebook, and said, "Director, this is Mr. Huo's house. Usually, only Mr. Huo and some servants and bodyguards live here."

"Mrs. Huo's youngest son's wife, Huo Qiqiang's mother, is the sister-in-law of Li Yan's ex-wife. The two have a very close relationship. Li Yan often comes to Mr. Huo's place with Huo Qiqiang for free meals."

Ajian explained to Zhang Zhihao the homework he had done for the day and briefly introduced the background information.

Zhang Zhihao was stunned: "Ex-wife?"

"Yes, it is said that Li Yan, who had just been promoted to director more than a month ago, went through the divorce procedures with Li Xin'er for unknown reasons. I took the time to inquire with the Civil Affairs Bureau this afternoon, and the news is true." Ajian said without hesitation.

"Well, Jian, good job."

Zhang Zhihao complimented absentmindedly, not hiding his appreciation for Ajian's good homework. Then he turned his head and looked at the villa's door slowly closing, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Mr. Huo holds a very high status in Hong Kong Island, especially after the return to China. He is even more important. He is one of the few people in Hong Kong Island who can meet the Grand Governor directly without making an appointment.

Of course, this is just a treatment. Now that Mr. Fok is old, he won't go to the Grand Governor to chat for no reason. This is just a courtesy, which shows the Grand Governor's respect for people like Mr. Fok who have made outstanding contributions to Hong Kong Island.

Mr. Fok has many old friends he met during the war years in the capital of the northern great country. Even many people in power now still think highly of Mr. Fok and sometimes ask him for suggestions on social development and governance in Hong Kong Island. Many of them will be turned into policies and implemented.

It can be said that Mr. Fok’s influence on the Hong Kong government is also very great!
According to the information, Mr. Huo is one of the most important figures in Li Yan's circle of friends. It is not surprising that Li Yan came to Mr. Huo for help at this time.

But Mr. Huo received Li Yan without hesitation, which seemed to send an obvious signal to the outside world that he was supporting Li Yan, which forced Zhang Zhihao to be cautious.

Although the ICAC has maintained a high degree of independence since its establishment, and has not been influenced by anyone, no matter how strong the other party's background is, it has never scrupled. But decades have passed, and Hong Kong Island is no longer the era of rampant corruption and disorder.

In recent years, many Legislative Council members have questioned whether it is necessary for the ICAC to maintain its previous high-pressure stance, as this is not conducive to creating a relaxed environment and will also affect the political openness and economic development of Hong Kong Island.

Although this was only discussed by a few people, no resolution was passed.

But it is obvious that everyone, including the Grand Commander, believes that the current situation is very different from the social environment at that time. The Independent Commission Against Corruption, which was established to deal with the crisis and save Hong Kong Island, must still exist and continue to maintain its supervisory responsibilities.

However, the focus should be shifted from relatively radical and severe crackdowns on corrosion to more moderate and more adapted corrosion prevention measures to the current situation.

This has made the ICAC more lenient in enforcing discipline, and more obedient to the will of the Grand Council, considering the overall situation.

Zhang Zhihao knew that with the overall situation on the left and the whole on the right, there would be many concerns when it came to the specific implementation. Naturally, this anti-corruption sword that had been invincible since its establishment would no longer have the kind of indomitable edge.

Just like today when Li Yan was a guest at Mr. Huo's place, Mr. Huo didn't have to say a word, and the senior officials of the Hong Kong government naturally had to consider Mr. Huo's attitude, and they would inevitably consider it more "comprehensively" when investigating the matter of Li Yan.

Zhang Zhihao sighed silently, picked up his phone, and reported the news to Deputy Commissioner Zeng Xiangrong. Although Zhang Zhihao also wanted to make meritorious service, he was no longer a young man and knew who he was making meritorious service for.

Even if you perform ten meritorious deeds in public, it is not as good as doing a private thing for your superior!
Ever since he finished talking with Deputy Commissioner Zeng Xiangrong in the morning, Zhang Zhihao knew that the big guys above were all watching Li Yan's case and it was not something he could control, so he changed his mindset and just wanted to make a profit from this case.

In this case, he must play his role well. Although he is the one keeping an eye on Li Yan, Zhang Zhihao knows in his heart that he is just an ear and eye, helping the bosses understand the situation on the front line. He must report at any time and follow orders, and not make decisions on his own.

This kind of dangerous situation can easily trap you if you are not careful, so you must be more cautious and conservative than usual.

The next morning, Li Yan was not taken away by his superiors or absent from work due to illness as everyone thought. Instead, he sat in the police car No. 1 and came to the police station to work in a dignified manner.

Yesterday, the reporters had been waiting for a long time before they found out that the person sitting in the car was not Li Yan, but two staff members from the director's office, which made everyone very disappointed. They all felt very embarrassed to be fooled by Li Yan, and in a fit of anger, they wrote about Li Yan's guilty conscience and the fact that Li Yan was a substitute for others, and published the news, and then they criticized Li Yan and trampled him into stinking dog shit. But everyone also knew Li Yan's attitude and was determined not to face the media. Therefore, early this morning, there were fewer reporters surrounding the gate of the police station, and there was no formation like yesterday. When they saw the director's car coming, they subconsciously moved away.

Unexpectedly, the car did not drive to the parking lot at the back and then enter the building through the back door as usual, but stopped in the open space in front of the office building, and Li Yan got out of the back seat. In this case, such a high-profile image immediately shocked everyone, and the reporters outside raised their cameras to take pictures as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

On the side of the office building near the square in front of the door, many police officers from various departments were looking at this scene in surprise. There were rumors early this morning that Li Yan was being targeted by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. I thought that no matter what, even if the higher-ups didn't take him away, Li Yan would still try to find a connection, or at worst, he would temporarily avoid the spotlight and hide at home.

He would not come to the police station in the short term. Who would have thought that after a day and a night, Li Yan was safe and sound and continued to come to work. This surprised many people who had speculated privately.

Li Yan has never been active at work. Even after becoming the chief, he still came to work on time. He was always late, never early. When he was the deputy chief, Li Yan was basically the last one to arrive at the police station, showing his laziness at work.

Now that he was the top police officer, it could be said that except for those on business trips or on leave, Li Yan was still the last one to arrive at work. At this moment, Li Yan was like a big-name star, with countless eyes staring at him from inside and outside the building.

Li Yan, however, didn't care about the gazes of so many people at all. Like a king of the forest, he came to the top of his own mountain and looked around wantonly, like a mountain tiger patrolling his territory.

The weather at the end of January was very cold, with howling winds. Li Yan unconsciously tightened his coat, his movements were gentle and dignified. Then he turned around and smiled at the reporters gathered at the gate with style.

He walked towards the director's building calmly and leisurely.

"Crack! Click!"

Spotlights flashed continuously as countless cameras captured this scene. The photos were then quickly sent back to the newspaper TV station to be broadcast on the noon news before noon.

Chen Yongren, who was hiding in a corner on the third floor opposite, watched this scene with bloodshot eyes, his eyes undisguisedly showing deep hatred, gritting his teeth. He not only cursed Li Yan, but also the senior police officers and the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and even the Grand Governor who he had never met in the Grand Governor's Mansion!
Damn, why?
We are all undercover agents, and I am a righteous undercover agent. But now my wife and daughter are separated, my boss is in the hospital, and I am just a small inspector.

Li Yan, an insider of a gang, not only married a girl from a wealthy family, but also had a successful career, rising rapidly to the position of Assistant Commissioner of Police in his thirties, and had an even brighter future ahead of him.

If he cannot destroy Li Yan, Chen Yongren feels that he may never be able to get out of his shadow, and Li Yan will become a permanent knot in his heart.

Chen Yongren, who had always used Li Yan as a yardstick to measure himself, became more and more indignant the more he thought about it, and his face became more and more distorted. The feeling of pulling Li Yan, a promising rising star in the police force and a Hong Kong talent, down from heaven and throwing him into hell was simply too wonderful.

Chen Yongren felt that the pleasure of this moment was even more intense and satisfying than when May came back to him and allowed him to ravage her!
Jie Jie Jie
Chen Yongren let out a hoarse laugh from his throat, extremely suppressing the urge to laugh out loud. He looked at Li Yan who was walking across the square, as if a ghost from hell was staring at his prey.

It was a sunny day. The Headquarters of the Colonial Government was located near Lung Wo Road at Queen's Pier on Hong Kong Island. In front of it was the Tamar Park, known as the 'green carpet', and in front of it was the world-famous Victoria Harbour.

The Hong Kong Government Headquarters implements the concept of "doors always open, land always green, sky always blue, and people always connected", which means that representatives must always uphold an open and open attitude, be proactive and enterprising, and listen to public opinion to build a civilized, prosperous, advanced and democratic new Hong Kong Island.

The headquarters integrates three facilities, namely the Hong Kong Government Headquarters Building, the Chief Executive's Office, and the Legislative Council Complex.

The headquarters building faces the harbor, while the Chief Executive's Office and the Legislative Council building are located on both sides of the green park. The high-rise buildings on the two wings are connected as one. The overall layout forms a visual metaphor of "open door", just like an open door.

At this time, in an office in the Chief's Office Building, two gray-haired old men were drinking tea in the reception area. Sitting in the main seat was the then Grand Governor of Hong Kong Island, Tung Chun-fong, and sitting on the side was the current Commissioner of Police, Hui Ting-on.

Dong Zhenfang was leisurely brewing Kung Fu tea, and Xu Dingan was watching him calmly.
