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

Chapter 507: Trial by Three Judges (V)

Li Yan immediately said happily: "So this means that I don't have to be an undercover agent anymore?"

"No, you still have to be an undercover agent. Moreover, now that you have been commissioned by Han Chen, your identity is even more important."

Ye Yongchang poured a basin of cold water over Li Yan's head, making him feel cold all over: "Now we can only temporarily adjust the plan based on this unexpected incident."

"what!"

Li Yan said in a depressed mood: "After graduating from the police academy, are you asking me to come back to Han Chen? Isn't that obviously cheating me?"

"No, you can't go back to Han Chen's place."

Ye Yongchang thought for a moment and became excited. "It just so happens that my former subordinate, Huang Zhicheng from the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station, called me a few days ago and asked me to help him keep an eye out for a few good candidates when the next batch of students graduate. He wants to send them to the Ni family as undercover agents."

"When the time comes, when he comes to select undercover agents, I will recommend you to him and then arrange for you to go to Ni Kun."

Well.
Li Yan complained, "So I was born to be an undercover agent. No matter where I go, I have to be sent around by others?"

"Then what about my 'letter of surrender'?"

"What is 'a pledge of allegiance'?"

Ye Yongchang was stunned for a moment, then he said nervously: "You didn't kill anyone, did you?"

"No, I'm a policeman, how could I kill someone?"

Li Yan said helplessly, "When Han Chen and I were talking yesterday, in order not to arouse his suspicion, I called Han Chen brothers and said a lot of things that went against the principles. Things like serving him at his side, going through fire and water, and swearing death to repay him, etc., to show loyalty. I guess Han Chen will record our conversation and use it as a handle to threaten me if I don't obey him in the future."

"Hi"

Ye Yongchang said disdainfully: "What do I think I am? As long as you don't kill or burn anything, it doesn't matter if you say something like you are loyal to him. To tell you the truth, even if you help him beat people up, collect debts, watch over the place, and trade laundry detergent, it's nothing."

"An undercover agent needs to gain people's trust, and he has to mingle with those bad guys. If you don't do these bad things, how can you blend in with them?"

As if he was afraid that Li Yan would have some ideological baggage, Ye Yongchang comforted him, "Don't take these to heart. No matter how much Fatty Han records, it's useless. He can't threaten you. I'll testify for you, and you don't even have to go to court."

"But he also gave me about 50,000 or 60,000 Hong Kong dollars to bribe me. The money is in my hand now. What should I do? Can I accept it?" Li Yan's performance at this time was still very immature, and the questions he asked were very naive.

Hearing this, all the bigwigs in the office had stunned looks on their faces. Thinking of Li Yan's state at that time, they felt that this kind of greenhorn's behavior was normal. They shook their heads unconsciously and smiled kindly.

"Of course I can't accept it, this is all black money"

Ye Yongchang flatly rejected it, then he softened his tone and said, "But what? Your situation is special. Didn't I say before that I would allocate some funds to you?"

"But the budget of the police academy is really tight. Plus, you were a poor student to begin with. If you suddenly become rich, it will easily arouse suspicion. As it happens, this money comes from a legitimate source. Just spend it and treat it as if it was approved by me."

Well.
Li Yan asked in confusion: "Didn't you say this was black money? How come it can be used again?"

"Originally you were going to hand it in, but now Han Chen must be paying more attention to you. This identity is very important. If you sneak into the Ni family in the future, with Han Chen's secret care and support, your safety will be greatly guaranteed. With his endorsement, you will be able to get closer to Ni Kun faster, so you still have to keep this identity."

Ye Yongchang explained: "You give me the money now, and then I will write a report to explain the source of the money, and then report your situation, and then approve the funding for you. This whole process is too difficult."

"And it's definitely not going to be approved. Instead of taking off your pants to fart, why not skip the process and just take it directly and think of it as me calling you."

"Don't worry, I will make a note of it in your file. Even if there are any problems, they will be with me. The ICAC will not cause any trouble for you."

Li Yan said doubtfully, "Well, I don't understand the internal affairs of the police force. Anyway, you are my superior. I will do what you say. If something goes wrong, you have to cover it for me."

"Don't worry, as long as you don't hide anything illegal or against regulations from me and report the actual situation to me at any time, there will be no problem after I approve it. I will record it in the file afterwards, and even Yi Ge won't be able to find fault with you." Ye Yongchang said.

At this time, Mr. Huo looked at Xu Dingan inquiringly, wanting to confirm whether what Ye Yongchang said was incorrect, and whether he had fooled Little Li Yan.

Xu Dingan nodded and explained to everyone: "That's true. Generally, when police officers encounter such situations, they have to write a report and get their superiors to sign and approve it. Sometimes there must be circumstantial evidence. But undercover work has its own particularity. Timeliness and procedures can be taken at your convenience. In order to maintain confidentiality, you only need to verbally inform your direct superior." "As long as the superior keeps a good record, it will not be considered a violation of the rules."

Zeng Xiangrong beside him also nodded in agreement. He had worked as a policeman for a period of time in the early years, and he understood the police's operating methods. Sometimes the front-line affairs are very complicated, and it is impossible to strictly follow the regulations and procedures like other departments.

In fact, in recent years, the ICAC has stopped intervening in the matter of police officers and junior officers accepting bribes. These are all investigated and handled by the Internal Affairs Department of the Police Force. Even if a report is received, it will be directly transferred to them for them to handle.

Only when police officers above the inspector level engage in corrupt behavior will an investigation be intervened, because generally speaking, officers above the inspector level will not be sent out to perform special tasks, and there is no need for them to take advantage of the situation.

In the past few years, in the process of investigating corruption in the police force, the identities of several undercover agents were exposed, and one even died in the line of duty because his identity was exposed due to the interference of the ICAC. This caused great protests from the police force and even went to the Grand Governor's Office.

Finally, after consultation among all parties, corruption cases involving non-commissioned police officers were transferred to the Police Department for supervision, and the ICAC no longer had this function.

The recording was still playing, and Li Yan's voice rang out: "By the way, Sir Ye, can you help me make a proof?"

"What proof?"

“It’s to prove my police identity.”

"What do you mean? Isn't it obvious that you are a police officer? What other proof do you need?" Ye Yongchang asked puzzled.

"That's right, Ye Sir."

Li Yan said, "Look, you sent me to Han Chen as an undercover agent, and Han Chen sent me to the police force, and then the police force sent me to the Ni family. It's so complicated, and I'm afraid it will be messed up. If I can't prove my identity in the end, I will die unjustly."

"I have a recorder here. Please make an ID for me. This way, no matter how many undercover agents there are, I won't be afraid."

Li Yan's concerns were not unreasonable. For example, he clearly graduated from university normally. In order to send him to Han Chen, Ye Yongchang changed the school's file to expulsion in order to gain Han Chen's trust.

In order to send Li Yan to the police academy, Han Chen bribed the higher-ups at the school and changed his file to allow him to graduate with qualification.

Later, Huang Zhicheng sent Li Yan to the Ni family and once again changed Li Yan's school file to expulsion to increase its legitimacy.

For this reason, the president of the University of Hong Kong even called Ye Yongchang. After all, it was Ye Yongchang who used the rights of the police force to ask the school to cooperate in the first revision, and he also provided official certification materials. Later, after Han Chen spent money, the school's top management secretly made changes again.

But because of the special nature of this file, the principal knew about it at the first time, and later reported it to Ye Yongchang. After a little thought, Ye Yongchang knew that it was Fatty Han who did it, so in order to avoid alerting the enemy, he asked the principal to change it back and issue another certificate.

Later, Huang Zhicheng came forward and changed the sentence to removal, and also produced an official certification document.

Even the principal was confused. What did you do to provoke you? It's a normal student file. Why did you change it so many times?

I secretly sigh that society is too complicated, and school is simpler!
Ye Yongchang did not explain, but simply told the school that these nesting doll-like materials could be produced, but must be kept confidential and not leaked, otherwise they would be held legally responsible.

The principal had no choice but to keep all the information secret and wait for the day in the future when they would come to provide proof or for the authorities to come and collect it.

In Huang Zhicheng's eyes, Li Yan is a single undercover agent; but in Han Chen's eyes, Li Yan is a double undercover agent; only in Ye Yongchang's eyes did he know that Li Yan is a triple undercover agent.

It was indeed a bit too complicated, and those whose brain circuits were not clear would be confused. Fortunately, the big guys present were all outstanding people with extremely strong logical thinking, so they managed to make it go smoothly and not be messed up.

"Depend on"

Ye Yongchang asked in surprise, "Is this necessary? I have your file here, and I can personally prove it for you. Why do you want a recording? If something like this is not properly preserved and falls into the hands of others, your life will be in danger. Do you know that?"

"You said there was a file, but my file was just edited by you on your personal computer. It has not been included in the police force's public archive. What if your naughty grandson deletes it one day, or your computer is infected with a virus and formatted? Who can I turn to?"

Hearing Li Yan mention this, Ye Yongchang felt a little guilty and said angrily, "Isn't it that I'm afraid of leaking it?"

"Once your file is put into the public archives, it will be easy for others to find out. The top brass of the police force is not a monolithic group, and there will inevitably be undercover agents from the community. That's when you'll be in real danger."

"Don't worry. As a senior superintendent and the principal of the police academy, I, Ye Yongchang, naturally have my endorsement in the file I created. What are you afraid of? When the day comes when you return to the police force legitimately, I will merge your file with the public files of the police force, isn't that all?"
