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

Chapter 508: Trial by Three Judges (VI)

"What's yours is yours. Except for you, who else knows that I'm a policeman, someone who hasn't received a single day of training in the police academy. I don't even have a classmate. Wan Ni got Alzheimer's that day and forgot about me. Where can I go to seek justice? I don't even have a place to cry." Li Yan said without hesitation.

Ye Yongchang was immediately furious: "Fuck, I'm going to stab you, you little bastard. I'm only in my forties and in good health. How could I possibly have Alzheimer's? Are you cursing me?"

"Hey hey hey"

Li Yan said in a scoundrelly tone, "How can that be possible? Of course I hope that you, Ye Sir, will live a long life. But I am a petty person, and I can't figure out what's going on when you guys send me around like this. Am I scared?"

"What if after a long time, you let me lie here and there like this and mess things up? Just give me a proof, so that I can be confident to be your undercover agent!"

"What do you mean give it to me?"

Ye Yongchang was obviously very displeased and categorically corrected him: "Although you have not received formal training, you have taken an oath. You are working for the police force and the Hong Kong government to protect the millions of citizens of Hong Kong Island, not for me. Don't get confused about this!"

Ye Yongchang finished speaking, and then said helplessly: "Okay, did you turn on the recorder? I will prove it to you now, but you must be careful to keep it properly and don't let anyone find it. Otherwise, if your life is in danger, don't blame me."

"It's okay, Ye Sir, I will be careful. It's already opened, you can tell me."

"Cough cough."

Ye Yongchang cleared his throat and said solemnly, "My name is Ye Yongchang, police officer number SSP0268, and my current position is the principal of the Wong Chuk Hang Police Training School. Li Yan is an official student of our school. On October , , I appointed him to infiltrate Han Chen, the leader of Ni Kun, as an undercover agent."

"Police Officer Li Yan's identity is real and valid. The current time is, uh, 10 o'clock in the morning on March 3, 1991."

"Okay."

Li Yan said with satisfaction: "Okay, with this, I am not afraid of making a mess. Thank you very much, Sir Ye."

"I am your superior. It is my duty to protect your safety and cooperate with your work. Why are you saying thank you? Okay, next, you have to pay more attention to your identity."

"It can be said that from this moment on, your undercover identity becomes meaningful. Han Chen will put a lot of effort into you. In the following time, even in the police academy, you must be careful and pay attention to protecting your identity."

Ye Yongchang carefully warned: "If you are afraid of confusion, you should temporarily forget about the contact between you and me. Even in the police academy, you must remember that you are an undercover sent by Han Chen. Your boss is not me, but Han Chen. Unless it is a matter of life and death, I will not look for you. Just pretend that you don't know me, understand?"

"Okay, I understand, Ye Sir"

"Okay, that's it, hang up!"

"."

Then the voice fell into silence, and everyone in the ICAC meeting room looked at Li Yan thoughtfully.

If this recording is real, then it can directly overturn the so-called "evidence" before. No matter what Li Yan promised in front of Han Chen or how much money he received, it will no longer be meaningful.

This means that before this, Li Yan was already a policeman.

And he is still an undercover agent of the police, but he is not Huang Zhicheng's undercover agent, but an undercover agent with the endorsement provided by Ye Yongchang.

At this time, Huo Qiqiang was overjoyed and looked at Li Yan with shining eyes. As expected, his brother-in-law came prepared and his worries were in vain.

The conference room fell into a long silence. Before that, everyone was ready to take down Li Yan and then talk to Shen Cheng.

Next, it was announced that Gao Jianbin would take over as the new Commissioner of Police.

But the evidence provided by Li Yan overturned everyone's assumptions, and things returned to the starting point and became confusing again. Li Yan's gains and losses were not important, but there was still no winner between Shen Cheng and Gao Jianbin, and the arrangements made by the Grand Commander before were in vain.

Now, in front of Director Chen, Li Yan was not only not guilty, but also had some added credits.

By this calculation, Shen Cheng is not blind and trusts the wrong person. On the contrary, he is good at judging people and has made no mistakes but has done good things.
Xu Dingan had no idea what to do next.

He wanted to declare Li Yan innocent and end the matter, because he was afraid that there was something more explosive in the box that Li Yan put beside him. Xu Dingan felt that the situation had developed to this point, and Shen Cheng had obviously played a decisive role by inviting Director Chen to come out. Maybe there was some killer move hidden behind it. If the matter could be ended now and out of everyone's sight, even if there were any secrets, they could be treated as internal affairs and handled calmly.

But here we have the Grand Commander Dong Zhenfang and Director Chen who represents the northern forces.

Director Chen has always had a faint smile on his face since he came to the ICAC. Who knows how much inside information he knows?

If I were to come forward to settle the matter now, it would obviously be biased towards Gao Jianbin, which would be disadvantageous to my side. It would be best for the Grand Commander to take the initiative to do a favor on the surface, expose Li Yan's matter, and end it there. That would be the best thing.

Thinking of this, Xu Dingan looked at the Grand Commander deeply, with an unfathomable meaning flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, the Grand Commander who could make the decision felt a little hesitant. Because Director Chen was in front of him, he was a little hesitant. In this situation, everyone with a discerning eye knew that the problem was with the late former police academy principal Ye Yongchang. He couldn't just bite the bullet and deny Ye Yongchang's arrangement, and then accuse the young Li Yan of violating rules and disciplines and drag him into the pit, right?

Li Yan's status is small, but whether Gao Jianbin can get promoted is a big one. Dong Zhenfang is somewhat unwilling. Even if Li Yan is not a traitor, it is better not to let him be so innocent. He is left with unclear suspicions and is temporarily treated coldly.

Once Gao Jianbin comes to power, he will be cleared out and it won't matter whether he is reinstated.

Thinking of this, Dong Zhenfang's heart moved. He did not pay attention to Xu Dingan's implicit hint and glanced at Zeng Xiangrong lightly.

Zeng Xiangrong's eyes narrowed, and he felt a little embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and said decisively: "Li Yan, the recording you provided is hard to tell whether it is true or false. It is difficult for us to tell whether you found someone with the same voice to cooperate with you to say the above words, so..."

As soon as Zeng Xiangrong started talking, Mr. Huo's face changed, and he looked at Dong Zhenfang, obviously becoming unhappy. But due to the majesty of the Grand Commander, he did not refute, while Director Chen choked slightly, his smile remained unchanged, his eyelids narrowed, and his eyes became deeper, with an inexplicable meaning.

Xu Ding'an's expression changed and he felt even more depressed. He sighed slightly and thought that his old friend was still too obsessed with fame and fortune. Even at this point, he still didn't want to give up.

He had made so many gestures before, but it was actually because he could get the position of Police Commissioner. On this basis, he was willing to show some tolerance as a winner. Now that he sees the duck in his hand is about to fly away, he reveals his true feelings.

Hong Kong Island is closely connected to the mainland and its area is extremely small. The big country in the north only gives Hong Kong Island more freedom and authority for the sake of the area further south. It is not that Hong Kong Island itself has the strength to speak to the north alone.

As the saying goes, a horse bone is worth a fortune. Hong Kong Island is the horse bone that attracts the best horse, but in fact it is not worth a fortune.

If this is the case, Hong Kong Island will continue to isolate itself from others, put on a condescending attitude, and enjoy superior treatment as a fake foreigner. This will only disgust the more than one billion compatriots of the same race and origin on the mainland. When it loses the kinship of the northern people and that powerful rising superpower loses its patience, what awaits this area is only destruction.

From a geographical point of view, Hong Kong Island is integrated with the northern mainland. No external forces dare to interfere blatantly. Instead of looking around, it is better to stick to it.

My old friend is confused.
Hong Kong Island used to belong to Victoria, and will belong to the north in the future. It will never be ours. Because it is too small, it cannot stand up at all. Without a big tree to lean on, it can only be like a leaf drifting in the wind, and when the autumn wind blows, it will be broken into mud and dust.

Zeng Xiangrong seemed to sense the temperature dropping in the conference room when he said this, and he changed the subject and slowed down a little: "So we still need to take it for special appraisal to confirm its authenticity?"

"Then do you have anything else, such as a video or something, that can prove the relationship between you and Ye Yongchang?"

Zeng Xiangrong also saw the box and felt that the Grand Commander seemed a little too anxious. He was eager to find fault before the other party had even revealed all his cards. Isn't that disadvantageous?
It’s better to wait and see. Perhaps the next development will save everyone from having to make a choice.

"Of course I have. But before that, there is another recording that is also very important. I would like to take some time for you to listen to it."

Li Yan seemed to have expected that things would not be so simple. Seeing this, he smiled and asked Xu Dingan, "If this incident had not happened, I would have reported it to Director Xu. However, these matters are internal affairs of the Police Department, so I still need to ask Director Xu for his opinion."

"I'm sure everyone still has some doubts in their hearts, and the things I'm going to talk about next are also related to my hidden identity. If I want to explain it completely, I can't avoid it?"

Xu Dingan's heart skipped a beat. Li Yan's expression was too calm, and there was something inexplicable hidden in his smile. Xu Dingan, who knew Li Yan's character well, knew that the following content would not only involve the secrets within the police force, but if he continued, it would probably cause a huge wave.

How could it be so simple that the secret could be concealed by two senior police officers at the level of Chief Superintendent for more than ten years?

Xu Dingan knew that perhaps before this, Li Yan had already figured out all the secrets without reporting to him, and watched Gao Jianbin and Liang Feihu launch such a large offensive with the intention of luring the enemy deeper.

It's all due to the current situation. It's not that they don't give me face. It's just that Shen Cheng and Gao Jianbin have reached a life-and-death situation and can't care about the rules anymore.

As the situation has developed to this point, Dong Zhenfang and Director Chen, two people representing the two forces, are already at the scene. No one can control the situation that will follow. Li Yan's inquiry at this time is more of an apology, and also to make Xu Dingan mentally prepared for the inside story that will be revealed next.
