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

Chapter 498 The Smug Senior Brother
Dong Zhenfang nodded when he heard this, as if he had made a decision, but also as if he was asking for Xu Dingan's opinion: "Then the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the Security Bureau, and the Police Department will jointly review the case. It will be a three-judgment trial."

"The Independent Commission Against Corruption is Tsang Heung-wing, the Security Bureau is Luk Kin-wah, and the Police Department will be represented by you."

"Invite some important people to watch, such as Director Chen from the former Hong Kong Rehabilitation Office, now the Hong Kong and Macao Office in Beijing, as well as Mr. Huo and myself. The three of us will be there."

"Hahaha!"

Xu Dingan smiled and said, "Your standard is too high. This is the first time since the opening of Hong Kong Island. I believe that even if Shen Cheng loses, he will have nothing to say."

"Didn't you say that attitude is the most important thing!" Dong Zhenfang shook his head with a heavy face, still looking worried.

Xu Dingan comforted him: "I believe that after all you have done, the bigwigs in Beijing can see that this matter has nothing to do with you."

"I hope so!"

Dong Zhenfang said with emotion: "I am the Grand Commander. In the eyes of others, I am powerful, decisive and self-respecting. But who knows that I am also surviving in the cracks and am in a dilemma."

"You asked for it. Who put you in such a dilemma?"

Xu Dingan said calmly: "The big mountain in the north is there, just go up there, as long as you have a firm position, a mere position of director, do you really think those big guys will value it so much?"

"You are too obsessed with the difference between the north and the mainland, so you are worried about gains and losses, making the people below at a loss. If you are biased by one foot here, the people below will be biased by ten feet. They will be more obsessed with the difference between the north and the west, which will cause chaos."

"We have been separated from Hong Kong for a hundred years. Several generations have passed. We have been greatly influenced by the outside world. We must correct the wrongs through extremes. At this time, we must stand firm and unwaveringly lean towards the north. The people's hearts are united, and we will not give the outside world any opportunity to take advantage of us, and we will not allow the insiders to take chances. This is the blessing of our Hong Kong Island!"

Well.
Xu Dingan's powerful words were like the sound of a loud bell, awakening Dong Zhenfang all over. He felt as if he had been enlightened and fell into endless contemplation!
For the next week, the entire upper class of Hong Kong Island was secretly paying attention to Li Yan.

But Li Yan did not make any big moves. He did not go to look for Shen Cheng, nor did he go to look for powerful people in his personal circle such as Boss Li and Li Yaoguang. In fact, except for a trip to Mr. Huo's residence on the day of the incident, he never went there again.

He just performs his duties step by step every day, works from nine to five, and goes on dates and has meals with a few close women.

Just like nothing happened.
Seeing that there was no movement above, Liu Jianming and Lin Guoping gradually calmed down. They were no longer as panicked as they were at the beginning. They thought that Li Yan had dealt with the upper level and had gotten through it safely.

However, those in the upper echelons who are truly familiar with the laws governing the operation of power know that this is the calm before the storm. The quieter it is beforehand, the more violent the storm brewing later will be.

This period of time is the final adjustment time for all forces. Once the big guys behind reach a consensus, they will take down Li Yan with lightning speed.

But Chen Yongren, who was unaware of the situation and did not know the upper echelons' style of doing things, was extremely angry.

She sat at her seat by the window all day, hoping like a wife-waiting rock that someone would come and take Li Yan away, but she was disappointed every day. Instead, she often saw her beloved May sitting in Li Yan's director's car, going in and out together, always together.

Chen Yongren was almost going crazy with jealousy, imagining Li Yan and his 'wife' in the car, or in the office doing all kinds of unrealistic things that he fantasized about but could not achieve. He even scratched the edge of the table at his workstation.

If you don’t know, you might think that an animal like a mouse or cat has entered the office area.

Ever since the incident, Liang Feihu and Gao Xiaojun no longer invited him to dinner, and Chen Yongren had no idea what the current situation was.

Burning with jealousy, Chen Yongren could no longer bear it and started writing another letter of denunciation. After get off work, he posted it in the mailbox not far from the police station entrance.

Many people in the police station already knew that the public opinion storm outside was caused by Chen Yongren, and he also wrote a real-name complaint letter to the headquarters supervision department, the ICAC, and even the Grand Military Governor's Office. People talked about it, some people despised it, some people laughed at it, and some people simply didn't like this kind of behavior of reporting behind people's backs.

Many people were pointing in Chen Yongren's direction, and some were discussing privately. When they saw Chen Yongren looking over there, they quickly turned around, but this made it seem more like everyone was discussing him.

Chen Yongren was secretly ostracized by the police station. These people were not very willing to accept that a "bad boy" who had fought with them in the community for more than ten years suddenly became their colleague. What's more, this colleague did not follow the rules at all and did not know how to be low-key, causing such a big disturbance.

Faced with all this, Chen Yongren was even more angry.

He blamed all of this on Li Yan. He used to be a little cautious, but now Chen Yongren is not afraid of anyone and just wants to overthrow Li Yan and vent his anger.

Chen Yongren is now like an independent individual in O-Ji. No one from above assigns him any work, and his colleagues all avoid him, as if there is some kind of barrier between them and they treat him as an alien.

This was completely different from what Chen Yongren had imagined when he was an undercover agent, that he would have a legitimate "police identity" and be admired by everyone. The head of the O-Jia Division, Guan Mingchun, of course knew more. Although he was from Gao Jianbin's faction, he didn't like people who secretly informed on secrets, and he didn't want to encourage such behavior and let the people below follow suit.

Although Gao Jianbin's nephew had informed Liang Feihu and asked him to secretly look after Chen Yongren, Guan Mingchun, apart from promoting Chen Yongren from trainee inspector to full inspector, had never spoken a word to Chen Yongren in private.

His true attitude can be seen
The air-conditioning in the office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police Headquarters was turned on high, and the room was warm as spring. The brown wool carpet felt as soft and comfortable as grass when stepped on.

Gao Jianbin was wearing a white shirt and a tight-fitting gray suit vest. He held his head high and chest out, with one hand in the pocket of his vest and the other holding a thin-waisted goblet filled with amber champagne, which he was gently shaking.

The second brother Gao stood in front of the window, with his hair combed into a sleek and popular Chow Yun-fat style. He stood with his back straight and his neck raised proudly. He looked heroic, free and easy, and full of vigor, like a noble gentleman.

Liang Feihu, his top general, was also there with a glass of champagne.

Gao Jianbin looked proudly in the direction of Victoria Harbour. Further ahead was the location of the West Kowloon Police Station.

"The rain is coming and the wind is blowing all over the building!"

He sighed, then turned around and said proudly: "Feihu, do you smell something in the air?"

"Chief, I just feel that the entire police department is filled with the smell of victory. It is a festive atmosphere that is being exuded to welcome its new owner." Liang Feihu beside him bent slightly, looked up at Gao Jianbin, and flattered with a fawning smile on his face.

"Haha, you!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Gao Jianbin could no longer hold back the smile on his face, and burst into laughter. Life is full of joy, and seeing Shen Cheng being pushed to the edge of the cliff by his own trump card, with a complete victory just around the corner, why should he suppress his ecstasy just to appear steady?

There are few moments of true happiness in a person's life, so it is ridiculous to restrict oneself for the sake of image, Gao Jianbin sneered.

When I am happy, I will be beyond expectation; when I am proud, I will forget myself. Who can do anything to me?
"Director, didn't you go to the Grand Governor's Mansion to meet him yesterday at his invitation?"

Seeing Gao Jianbin in a good mood, Liang Feihu asked his own questions: "Feihu guesses that it must be related to the current situation. What is the attitude of the Grand Commander towards this matter? Has there been any unexpected changes?"

Although it seems that Shen Cheng is waiting to die.

But if he had some connections, starting from the upper echelons, he might be able to persuade the Grand Commander to let him go. After all, Shen Cheng's roots were not in Hong Kong Island, but in the north, a place so powerful that people could not have the slightest resistance.

Li Yan's matter, if you say it's a big deal, is a huge deal, but if you say it's a small matter, it can be suppressed. Liang Feihu himself has a precedent.

An undercover agent from the Ni family was saved by the Public Relations and Public Affairs Section of the Police Department thanks to Gao Jianbin's efforts. Moreover, Shen Cheng had a northern power above him, to the point that even the Grand Commander had to act according to his wishes.

"Humph"

When this was mentioned, Gao Jianbin's cheerful mood subsided a little. He sat back on the sofa and said with a smug but somewhat dissatisfied look on his face: "The Grand Commander told me to stop while I'm ahead and know when to stop. He said that I should consider the overall situation, be broad-minded, be open-minded, unite with colleagues, and be generous and so on."

Well.
Liang Feihu was stunned, he often said these words.

But the Grand Commander's words obviously indicated that he wanted Gao Jianbin to show mercy and let Shen Cheng go. It seemed that Shen Cheng had not been idle during this period.

After thinking carefully, Liang Feihu's face showed an ecstatic expression again, and he said excitedly: "Congratulations, Director, the Grand Admiral's words mean that he has recognized your identity as the successor director, but he is just pleading for Shen Cheng."

"This doesn't affect the overall situation. What you originally wanted was to defeat Shen Cheng and become the top boss. Now you have achieved what you wanted. Isn't that great?"

Gao Jianbin thought so too. He nodded slightly when he heard Liang Feihu's compliment, and said in a vain way, "It's a pity that we can't take advantage of the victory and go one step further to drive Shen Cheng out of the police department. Then the police department will be our world from now on!"

"If we keep Shen Cheng, he will continue to cause us trouble in the future, and it will be difficult for us to dominate the police department. I guess Shen Cheng still has connections up there. It seems that this matter can only end with Li Yan, and we can't involve anyone else."
