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

Chapter 497 Dong Zhenfang's Caution
On the other hand, Xu Dingan knew that his old friend favored Gao Jianbin, so he stood on Shen Cheng's side to achieve a delicate balance. If both of them were loyal to Gao Jianbin, then there would be no need to play this dragon-fighting game, it would be better to just appoint him directly.

Xu Dingan looked at the photos on the table again. Li Yan's calm smile always seemed to reveal a kind of confidence that everything was under control.

Is it that he is like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, or is it that he is indifferent to everything, or is there some trick waiting to turn the tide?

Xu Dingan would never have thought how Li Yan would turn the tables.

Based on Xu Dingan's understanding of Li Yan, in this situation, Li Yan's smile was definitely not as simple and superficial as being carried away by success. Instead, it was most likely a hint, implicitly conveying a message to people with discerning eyes.

In fact, both Dong Zhenfang and myself have attracted strong attention and importance.

"Boss, haven't you watched that videotape? Do you have it here?" Thinking of this, Xu Dingan's heart moved and he asked hurriedly.

Seeing Dong Zhenfang nodded, he quickly said, "I haven't watched it yet. The ICAC only has a part of it, and the news is also specious. Since you have all the tapes, take them out and let's watch them again to see if there are any problems."

"All right!"

Dong Zhenfang quickly stood up and called his secretary in, asking him to play the tape again. The player that was brought in yesterday was in the office.

The matter was of great importance, so Dong Zhenfang did not dare to go to the conference room. Yesterday he asked someone to bring the machine over and tested it in front of Gao Jianbin. Even his secretary was not present.

I called my old friend Xu Dingan today. I originally planned to use his wisdom, so I left the whole set of things untouched.

He took out the tape from his drawer and handed it to his secretary. While the secretary was operating the machine, Dong Zhenfang said, "After I watched it yesterday, I asked several professionals from different departments to authenticate it. The video and audio are both real. There is no sign of post-production synthesis or dubbing. It can be concluded that it is not a forgery."

After the secretary completed the operation and the machine started playing normally, he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and closed the curtains. The light in the room dimmed a little, making the image on the screen clearer.

He automatically went out and closed the door, leaving the two big guys watching with full attention.

The scene of Li Yan and Han Chen's dirty secret deal unfolds again
Han Chen smiled and said, "I have a good idea. I will send a brother to the police as an insider. If the police want to come to Yangzi..."

"Just give me a heads up in advance so I can prepare in advance and reduce some losses."

"."

"We usually take care of each other. I will provide you with some inside information about colleagues in other districts. With this, you can make more contributions and get promoted as soon as possible."

"."

"We can both benefit from working together. If you decide you don't want to do this anymore, we can go our separate ways."

"You do your job as a policeman, and I'll do my job as a gangster. What do you think?"

Xu Dingan frowned as he watched. Li Yan in the picture was still around 20 years old, with some of the immaturity and awkwardness typical of a teenager on his face.

Li Yan was also smiling at this time, with a look of gratitude and a look of a man dying for his friend, and said righteously: "Brother Chen, look at what you said."

"I know. This is also my chance. You are right. This will benefit both of us. I promise you."

"Brother Chen, we are not related, but you treat me like a brother. I am really touched. Without a doubt, you will be my big brother from now on. Li Yan will serve you at all times and repay you with his death."

"Hahaha, good brother, Brother Chen was right about you. You really have the courage to do great things."

"."

Then, Han Chen taught Li Yan how to hide his identity, pass on information, win over superiors, and work hard to climb up. The two of them were so disgusting and shameless that Dong Zhenfang and Xu Dingan didn't continue reading after seeing this.

Based on the previous communication between the two, the matter was very clear. Li Yan's identity as a traitor had been confirmed, and he could not wash it off even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Liang Feihu had previously revealed that he was Ni Kun's undercover agent, and Xu Dingan had also had his suspicions, but unfortunately Uncle Ni did not provide any evidence, only one-sided statements. It was impossible for him to doubt a colleague who had fought side by side with him based on the tears of a criminal.

Since ancient times, officials will not investigate unless the people sue. After Uncle Ni died, there was no victim anymore and no one mentioned the matter again. Naturally, Xu Dingan would not deliberately cause trouble for Liang Feihu again.

In fact, Liang Feihu's actions were not perfect and leak-proof. Xu Dingan once thought that if Shen Cheng caught this weakness and investigated it thoroughly, he might be able to find out Liang Feihu and indirectly drag Gao Jianbin into the water, but Shen Cheng had no intention of doing so from beginning to end, and missed an opportunity to bring Gao Jianbin down.

Instead, Gao Jianbin and Liang Feihu used the same trick on Shen Cheng, making a huge mess.

But this time, Li Yan had irrefutable evidence and no one could deny it!
I heard that he had completed the divorce procedures with the daughter of the Li family more than a month ago. Perhaps he had sensed the impending danger at that time. This also indirectly shows that Li Yan himself felt that he would definitely die this time and was already dealing with the aftermath.

Xu Dingan sighed deeply. He also felt it was a pity, not only for Shen Cheng, but also for Li Yan, a young talent with unlimited potential. Perhaps Han Chen's death would be like Ni Kun's. Unfortunately, Li Yan acted too late.

And he left behind such important evidence, no one could save him?

This matter will indeed involve Shen Cheng, and this is what Gao Jianbin wants to achieve. Shen Cheng is also related to the superiors' views on local forces. By chance, Li Yan's affairs have become extremely important.

Otherwise, even if Li Yan was the Assistant Commissioner of Police, it would not be worth it for the Grand Commander and the second most powerful person in the Hong Kong government to get together and study the case in person.

This happened more than ten years ago, when Li Yan was still a fledgling student and Shen Cheng was just an ordinary inspector in the New Territories. There was no way Gao Jianbin could have set up this chess game at that time. At most, he pushed Li Yan out after realizing something was wrong.

Li Yan took the initiative to approach Shen Cheng and was finally appreciated by Shen Cheng.

Now that Li Yan is in trouble, Shen Cheng, as the recommender, will naturally be implicated. This is only natural.

Regardless of whether Li Yan was ordered by Gao Jianbin to surrender to Shen Cheng, with this videotape, Li Yan is dead!

Then why was he so calm in front of the police station?

Xu Dingan picked up the photo again and began to think about it. Even if he was Gao Jianbin's man, Gao Jianbin could not save him. This time he would be ruined and infamous for eternity!

Then why are you so proud?
At this time, Dong Zhenfang saw his old friend picking up the photos thoughtfully, so he also picked up one and started looking at it, using his many years of political wisdom to substitute for the situation, thinking about how to break the deadlock.

Suddenly, Dong Zhenfang asked, "Old Xu, tell me, given that the videotape is real, what special circumstances would allow Li Yan to justify his story and avoid being convicted?"

"Is there a possibility?"

Xu Dingan raised his eyebrows and said, "Unless everything he said and did was done under the police's investigation, and he had to report it for record afterwards, it would not be considered a criminal act."

"Generally, when the police force sends police officers to work undercover in a community, they can enjoy this kind of treatment in order to hide their identities and gain people's trust. Not only can they say some words of loyalty, but they can also worship the leader, recognize a godfather, and make brothers. Even accepting money, beating and injuring people, collecting protection fees, and assisting in the smuggling of laundry detergent and arms and other illegal acts can be considered work requirements and involuntary, and they can be exempted from prosecution and treated ineffectively."

After Xu Dingan finished explaining, he added: "I understand what you mean. Li Yan was also an undercover agent. He was sent to the Ni family by his then superior Huang Zhicheng. After returning to the police force, many of his actions have been invalidated, but this is not one of them."

"There's also a time on the video. This is clearly Li Yan's behavior before he went to the police academy. It's not his behavior while undercover. And it's obvious that he didn't report it."

Dong Zhenfang looked at Li Yan's photo again, a light flashed in his mind, and he asked anxiously: "Old Xu, do you think Li Yan was already a policeman before this, and was ordered by a superior, so he was so confident about this?"

Xu Dingan shook his head again: "I have also thought about the possibility you mentioned. After the incident yesterday, I have checked all of Li Yan's files. The earliest record is March 3, 1991, which is the earliest time Li Yan applied for the police academy."

"The date shown in the video is March 2, 1991, which coincides with the time when Han Chen was planning to send Li Yan to the police academy. It is obvious that after the two of them reached an agreement, Han Chen sent someone to register for Li Yan in the police academy the next day."

"Not only that, I also used the highest authority to check all the undercover information of West Kowloon to see if there is any possibility of changing his name. However, apart from Huang Zhicheng's personal computer which has detailed files of his undercover period, I did not find any records of Li Yan working undercover for others before that."

"I also specifically asked some high-ranking police officers who were qualified to send undercover agents and whom Li Yan had contact with in 1991. No one confirmed that they had ever sent Li Yan to be an undercover agent. From the various circumstances we have learned so far, it seems that only Huang Zhicheng has assigned such a task to Li Yan."

Dong Zhenfang shook his head in disappointment and finally sighed: "Then we have no choice but to follow the regulations based on facts."

"Ok!"

Xu Dingan nodded and said, "However, it would be best if we could find more impartial people to supervise the trial of Li Yan's case, such as Mr. Huo, a trustworthy person in the capital, so as to ensure openness, fairness and justice."

"This will also show our attitude, so that Shen Cheng and others will be convinced and won't be criticized."
