Chapter 372 I Have the Final Say in Hong Kong Island

Soft music echoed in the huge and gorgeously decorated room. Many foreigners and Chinese, dressed in exquisite dresses and holding expensive red wine, champagne, etc., walked around the huge room, looking for people to talk to from time to time. In the center, there are men and women dancing to the rhythm of music. There are long tables full of food on both sides, with all kinds of Western food, Eastern pastries, etc. spread all over them. Chinese waiters came and went, adding more food and drinks from time to time.

This is the banquet hall of the Mandarin Hotel in Central, which was built and put into use just a few years ago. An iconic Western buffet banquet is being held. The protagonist of the banquet was the newly appointed Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose.

In the corner, a man also wearing a formal dress, with a slicked back hair, and an uninhibited demeanor was sitting on the sofa. The plate on the table in front of him was filled with food. He ate voraciously and took a few sips of wine from time to time.

William, the Deputy Commissioner of Police Operations who was smoking a big cigar, looked helplessly at the man eating and drinking: "Wang, I think you should give the Hong Kong Governor some face."

"Isn't it the same for you?"

"As you know, I will retire next year. Here I am the deputy director, and when I return home I am a rich man. In the words of you Chinese people, that is called strength without desire."

Of course, this old boy is not as stubborn as he said when he licked his face. The fundamental reason is that he can't get to be the Commissioner of Police and he has made enough money. If he can make money for a few more years, he will definitely have a different look.

"What do you mean by giving face? Taking the initiative to beg and say a few words to him? Look at those people who are bending over." Wang Yan raised his head in the direction of MacLehose, who was surrounded in the center, and then continued to eat and drink: "I I really didn’t eat, and I could only eat leftovers when I got home. The chefs today are very good at their skills. It’s a pity to waste it. Of course, I will go back after eating here.”

Whether it's a Western buffet or an Eastern banquet, in so-called formal occasions, people basically don't do anything with the food, but mainly drink and chat.

It's not that he is unique and eye-catching. If he himself is not qualified enough, then it goes without saying that he should pretend to be a grandson. But now, to a certain extent, he is the rule-maker. If he can come, that would be great. He doesn't like to eat even if he has to go hungry. Now that he eats like this, many people say that ‘Wang Sheng has a true temperament’...

"King, I heard that he seems to want to clean up corruption and promote clean government."

"I heard that too, why are you not in a hurry?"

William laughed: "As long as he is not crazy, he will not find someone at my level. And, Wang, you know, I just participated in more of your Longteng prize-giving activities, and they are all formal and legal. I What's wrong? You know the situation in the police force very well, and he will definitely deal with what you did in the past. You are the one who will be affected the most. "

This laughter was somewhat gloating, but it was actually quite normal. After all, he had been his puppet for so many years, so it was impossible not to feel any resentment. Now seeing the fire burning on his body, he naturally felt a little happy.

Glancing at him, Wang Yan shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter what he does. I just show off his tricks."

The two of them were hiding here for a while, and no one came to disturb them. Wang Yan took the initiative to go to the corner, the signal was obvious, he just didn't want to deal with it boringly. Most of the people present were fine people, and no one had a hard time looking for them. They just said hello when they passed by occasionally and that was it.

However, this leisure was destined to be unavoidable. MacLehose was observing the situation at the scene, and at a glance he saw Wang Yan eating and drinking in the corner, and William, who was chic and wrapped in a big cigar next to him. He immediately talked to the people around him After saying a few words, he came over with a few people laughing.

Seeing this, William said nothing, stood up, nodded to MacLehose and said hello, then simply left and went to the side to hide for a while. He said that he wouldn't be found on his head, but it would be better for him to stop hanging around in front of other leaders.

"Wang, you have such a good appetite that people of my age are very envious." MacLehose naturally sat next to Wang Yan and spoke humorously.

The two of them had met before, but they didn't say much, they were just introduced, it was just a check-in.

Wang Yan smiled and wiped his mouth with a tissue, then raised his glass and said, "It's thanks to you, sir, that the food today is very delicious. It's not easy to eat so much, so I ate more." Some."

"If possible, I would be like you." MacLehose laughed and clinked glasses with Wang Yan.

After drinking, he said: "I've heard your name since I was doing wheel squats, Wang, you are such an amazing young man. Hong Kong Island is one of the safest cities in the world. Before I came here, I thought it was just bragging. But after really looking at it, I realized that maybe even that 'one' should be removed. This is your credit and you have made an indelible contribution."

"Thank you. As Inspector Zonghua, this is what I should do."

"It is said that Chinese people are humble. Wang, your sophistication is really not in line with the huge achievements you have made at the age of less than forty."

"Oh? Then what should I say to make it consistent?" Wang Yan looked at him with a smile: "I am talking about Hong Kong Island? What do you think?"

"Then it's better to be modest." MacLehose was stunned for a moment, laughed to ease the embarrassment, and changed the subject: "But, Wang, there is something I don't know whether you know or not."

"you say."

"I heard that the Chinese police officers under your command are brothers to those who break the law and commit crimes, and they also collect money from them and allow them to operate various illegal establishments. There is also a unified model that draws a commission based on the turnover and also charges You should know about the market management fees for ordinary citizens, right?”

Wang Yan looked at the young man standing on the side with a smile: "Sir, this young man can be by your side. I guess he is also a young talent. Why don't you introduce him to me?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Wang, this was my oversight." MacLehose pointed at the young man: "His name is Yan Fu. He graduated from Oxford University and is proficient in law..."

After hearing his praises for Yan Fu, Wang Yan nodded and stared at Yan Fu: "If I remember correctly, your father is Yan Tong?"

"Wang Sheng has such a good memory. I didn't expect that he could still remember it after so many years."

Yan Fu was a little surprised that someone with such a high position as Wang Yan could remember the son of his defeated general.

"Boy, let me teach you something. Be sure to remember it well. When dealing with enemies, you must learn to hide when you are inferior to others. I don't like the look in your eyes very much. Maybe you don't know that I am very interested in Yi Xue and I have made some achievements. If If you look at me like that again, I guarantee you will suffer a bloody disaster today."

MacLehose shook his head and patted Yan Fu to reassure him: "Wang, I have also heard about his father and you. Although others say that you assassinated his father, I believe you. He is He was young at that time, so it is understandable that he would have some misunderstandings with you. After all, it was your company Longteng who acquired their property so that he could concentrate on his studies without worrying about food and clothing. "

"Of course, I was just joking with him." Glancing at Yan Fu who lowered his head and did not dare to look at him, Wang Yan said with a smile: "I do know what you just said. It's not that I shirk responsibility, but since you are looking for Yan Fu If Tong's son works for you, you should also understand that this situation existed before I joined the police force. As for Yan Tong, he used to be one of the people who made the most money. You should also know the security situation in Hong Kong in the past. , although I dare not call it indelible, I have contributed to the tranquility of Hong Kong Island today.

Since you mentioned this and asked Yan Tong's son to do something, you must have had some ideas. Mr. Governor of Hong Kong, I don’t know if it’s convenient for you to tell me. "

"Of course, Wang. In fact, you don't have to think too much. I have no intention of targeting you. This time, not only the police force, but other departments must also vigorously rectify it. We must clean up the public service team and improve the efficiency of the Hong Kong government. I decided to set up a The departments that are solely responsible to me will be given special powers to deal with the integrity work of public officials.”

Wang Yan nodded to express his understanding. This statement is very clear, that is, we must start with the police force, the most violent and violent department in Hong Kong Island. Once the biggest ones are destroyed, the remaining ones won’t have anything to fear.

It could also be said that he had to deal with him, Mr. Wang, first. After all, MacLehose had already understood the situation before he came to take office, and even hired Yan Tong's son to do things. It was obvious that he was here for him.

Of course they won't touch him, even if he makes money openly and openly. After all, Longteng's size is there. Although there was no such company in the original history, now that it exists, it is indispensable. If Long Teng is in turmoil, the entire Hong Kong Island will be affected. They won't think too hard and cause trouble for themselves.

The main thing is to mobilize the Chinese police officers and crack down on the backbone of them, so that the police force cannot be twisted into a rope, and cannot gather together for parades and riots. After all, he had instigated a big demonstration before, and this time it was even more related to his vital interests. It was impossible for the foreign devils not to be on guard against another demonstration by him.

This is an honest and upright fight against corruption. He cannot intervene to block it, let alone help it. So this will inevitably lead to a separation between him and the police officers. In addition, the crackdown on pornography, gambling and drugs has left the police officers at the bottom with no extra money and less money. Then he, the Chinese brother, is the first person responsible.

The police officers would not think about whether the money came from a legitimate source. What they cared about was that the money that should have been in their hands was gone, and so many brothers were also arrested. As a Chinese brother, he is indifferent, so why support him? Even if he provides jobs and additional benefits to the families of these police officers, it will not delay them from blaming him for their losses. So this encounter was a major blow to him. After all, his foundation was these people in the police force.

The Hong Kong government and even the Yingguo government will not allow such an awesome person to exist. Mainly because his existence has affected many things. After all, to a certain extent, he is the public opinion representative of the Chinese people in Hong Kong. This is of course not acceptable.

As for why MacLehose told him openly, it was because there was really no need to cover up. Establishing a new department is something that cannot be hidden. To put it bluntly, it can give you a sense of accomplishment like a cat watching a mouse.

"I personally think this is a very good thing, and I support it very much. But there is one thing I have to remind you, Mr. Governor of Hong Kong, there were riots in Kowloon and the 'June 25 Parade' in the past. You can't do too much to achieve results." I am anxious, and the most important point is that the law does not punish the crowd. A small number of people may be fine, but if all the Chinese police officers feel that they are in danger and they gather together to have another police-integrity conflict, it will not be good.”

"Thank you for your reminder. I will definitely pay attention." MacLehose stood up with a smile and raised his glass: "Wang, you continue to enjoy the delicious food. There are many colleagues you don't know."

After clinking glasses and taking a sip, Wang Yan made a gesture: "If you please."

Just after MacLehose left, he seamlessly connected with William who was hiding somewhere, and looked at Wang Yan who was still eating: "Wang, how is it? Have you found out anything?"

"He said that he would set up a new department, grant privileges, and specialize in the anti-corruption work of public officials. He also talked to me about the police force taking money and the matter of Yan Tong."

Hearing his faint voice, William asked curiously: "He wants to deal with you, Wang, why are you not worried at all?"

"What's the use of worrying? It depends on what you do."

Ignoring the old guy who looked like he was watching a show, Wang Yan continued to eat and drink...

MacLehose acted quickly and was very tough. After four months, he sorted out all the work, controlled the absolute right to speak, and made the title of Governor of Hong Kong well-deserved, and then he went straight to the procedure to establish the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

Everyone knew the news, but no one took it seriously. The foreign devils didn't take it seriously because most of them knew it and would not deal with them. The Chinese didn't take it seriously, of course, mainly the police force. The Chinese in the police force didn't take it seriously because they thought it was useless. After all, there is an anti-corruption department in every police station, but over the years, no one has been fighting corruption.

Wang Yan knew that this time he was serious. As early as a few months ago, after the banquet, he summoned all the Chinese detectives and told them about this. But they did not take his words seriously, and they praised him, saying that Brother Yan would be worry-free.

Until the ICAC quickly dealt with a few foreign devils who were not serious, and in the name of reorganizing the police force, he promoted the chief Chinese detective to superintendent, transferred him to the police academy to be in charge of the selection and training of police officers, and at the same time asked him to select outstanding talents to form an elite team.

There was no other meaning, just to transfer him away and prevent him from directly controlling Chinese police officers. In order to appease him, the police academy was given to him, and there was also a so-called elite team, which was considered to give him real power.

Unlike Lei Luo who was transferred to work on some police equipment, the foreign devils did not dare to tease him too much, so they did not dare to get him any civilian department as the head, or give him corresponding real power. Besides, the police academy had been infiltrated by him a long time ago, and the foreign devils had also checked it, but no one was taken care of. After all, the police academy does not charge fees, only the money given by Wang Yan, so there is no possibility of leaving any loopholes. In the same way, he was allowed to be the big brother of the police academy, and then let him train an elite team. He has a position and real power, and it is within the rules. He must accept it.

However, compared with his power as the chief Chinese detective, it is really far behind.

After he was transferred away, when the foreign devils began to arrest Lan Gang, Han Sen, and Li Yiwen, the big and small detectives were really scared, knowing that this time they were serious.

Lan Gang and the other three were chief detectives, and they received a lot of black money. They once had a factory and had a rich family background. After Wang Yan reminded them at that time, they took it seriously and had already started to study how to run away. When they realized that it was serious, they ran away directly. Of course, they did not forget to say hello to Wang Yan before running away, otherwise they would not be able to run away with peace of mind. They knew how powerful Wang Yan was. If they didn't agree, they couldn't get out. Even if they got out by chance, they were destined to die in a foreign land.

In theory, the three of them would definitely die, but considering that they had been working diligently and honestly for so many years. Wang Yan didn't stop them and let them leave Hong Kong Island after leaving a large sum of money.

But Lan Gang and the others could run away, and those inspectors could run away, but they were not as rich as those chief inspectors. They lived a more luxurious life and didn't have much money. They couldn't live long with their families. A group of inspectors had no choice but to find Wang Yan, the big brother, hoping that he would come forward to save them.

Kowloon, Yau Ma Tei, King's Park Hill. A large area with five buildings of different heights connected by an aerial corridor. On the big stone at the door was written "Police Officer Leisure and Entertainment Center" in a flamboyant style, and there was a dragon and soar logo next to it. This was just completed two years ago. It was a welfare place provided by Wang Yan, the big brother, for his subordinates. Shooting, fitness, swimming, singing, drinking, bathing, etc. are all available. Of course, this is a very serious entertainment center, without any work.

It is all welfare, so it is definitely free. It is impossible for tens of thousands of people to play here every day, so it is relatively not much money. As long as you show your ID, it is all free.

Choosing this place is also for the consideration of all police officers. After all, many police officers live far away. If it is built on the main island, it is not very convenient, so it is built in the prosperous Yau Ma Tei as a compromise.

In the conference room on the top floor of the main building, Wang Yan held a cigarette in his mouth and looked out of the French window. The distance was only two kilometers. He could see the seaside of the typhoon shelter and the cargo ships on the sea. It was a little hazy, but the scenery was still good.

"Brother Yan, you have to help us."

A detective complained for a long time and finally said the last sentence.

Wang Yan turned around and slowly scanned the dozens of detectives who were clearly divided in the scene. There are two groups of people in the field now. One group is those he promoted in recent years, and the other group is the inspectors who defected to him before. They are all senior. They were inspectors before he took office. The one who spoke and was to be arrested was of course the former inspector.

He has the full level of leadership skills in identifying and employing people. Over the years, except for some who retired normally, he has basically sorted out everyone from top to bottom.

He had already thought about the current situation, so the detectives he promoted were all serious people and very capable. They must not be allowed to fall. After all, they are all talents promoted by him and are his die-hard fans. So the money they collected, just like Lei Luo, was handed over to Lard Boy. Having been in business for so many years, Lardboy is proficient in business and very safe.

The fire couldn't burn me, everyone was hugging their arms and watching the show.

"Help you?" Wang Yan's eyes stopped on the detective who spoke: "Did you know that I have been transferred to the police academy? They are even trying to kill me, how do you think I can help you?"

"Brother Yan, you can't just watch all the brothers who have been with you for so many years being imprisoned, right? What does this make the brothers below think?"

"Yes, Brother Yan, I heard that there seems to be a thorough investigation. Everyone from above to below has a share. Now the brothers below are very restless. Not only will the Hong Kong government destroy our jobs, but they will also arrest all the brothers. , you can’t just sit back and do nothing, Brother Yan.”

"How about we kill those people from the ICAC?"

"We can also let all the brothers go out on the streets. If we surround the Hong Kong government again, I don't believe that MacLehose still dares to cause trouble for our police force."

…

Through the last big march and through the prestige of the police force over the years, they have learned how to fight for their own interests. If it doesn't work, they will go out on the street.

"Okay, stop shouting. What are you talking about? Are you any different from the gangsters on the street?"

After they calmed down, Wang Yan got up and walked around in the aisle, saying loudly: "We are all brothers. I will tell you what is in my heart today. You know my status, and you also know the assassinations I have suffered. This An anti-corruption campaign initiated by the Independent Commission Against Corruption was directed at the police force. For what purpose? Who in Hong Kong and Kowloon doesn’t know that I rely on our Chinese brothers in the police force to get my position? Thirty-four hundred and sixty-eight Chinese police officers and their families held it up.

Until then, I will never forget you and the brothers below who support me. Over the years, Longteng has built houses, built hospitals, given scholarships to the children who go to school at home, and has this comprehensive entertainment center under our feet. Why? Just to repay my brothers for their trust and support in me.

But this time things are different. Although it is directed at me, I support it. Of course it's not that I'm a coward, nor that I'm ungrateful. But what happened this time was correct.

I believe you all know the dangers of gambling and drugs. There are even many of you who like gambling. If I hadn't broken the leg of a drug-addicted brother back then, I think you people would also be like this. Over the years, those associations have openly opened gambling stalls and sold white powder, and you know how much harm they have caused to the public. Don't tell me that you didn't force them to gamble or smoke, they did it on their own. How she was seduced, how she became addicted, how her family was ruined, you know those nasty things better than anyone else.

Countless compatriots are on the road of no return. The living people are neither humans nor ghosts. We are the biggest protection umbrella. This is the money brothers take. Let me ask you, do you take this money without losing your conscience?

And those street vendors, can’t you see how they live? I also scraped off a layer of oil with others. Yes, the security in your area is very good, and you actively help solve the problems of citizens, but will this be able to offset the evil we have done?

You will definitely say, just count me and get the most, right? Longteng started its business by relying on these fees, right? I can tell you clearly that when I was making herbal tea bags in Ciyun Mountain, I borrowed 5,000 yuan to start the business. To this day, I have not done anything for myself with that black money. As you know, Long Teng has been doing charity. Do I receive enough money? How much can you do?

I am the biggest protector and I have responsibility. We are doing charity. Among those who have been rescued, there must be poor people who have been harmed to that point by us.

Don't think that what I say is high-sounding, I am in a high position. It has nothing to do with that, it’s just that my conscience has been condemned these years, and I dream about the victims coming to me.

I had this idea in the early years, but if I do this, you can imagine how much resistance there will be and how much the brothers will hate me. It's okay now. The ICAC wants to deal with the police force and me. So I took this opportunity and accepted it. "

Wang Yan paused and looked at the detectives sitting aside who were destined to be eliminated: "As for you, you should have made enough money over the years and be content. Even if you serve a few years in prison, you will be upright when you come out. Walking on the road. Compared to Lan Gang and others who cannot return to Hong Kong for the rest of their lives, aren't you better off? The Correctional Services Department is our own people. No matter where you are imprisoned, you will be cared for. I will guarantee your freedom. What you want is what you want.

When you come out, you don’t have to worry about your old age. I will ensure that you have enough food and clothing until you die, so what else do you have to worry about? You can't really encourage your brothers to go out on the streets and surround the Hong Kong Governor's official residence, right? And you have to know that even if you do it, you will have to give an explanation in the end. There are so many police officers at the bottom that they must not be moved. So think about it for yourself, do you have a choice? "

In fact, the Hong Kong government has never wanted to touch the low-level police officers. There are so many people and there is no place to lock them up. Besides, since his influence is there, the consequence of touching the lower-level police officers is that no one can touch them.

The purpose is to suppress his influence by imprisoning all current key members. Of course, they are not stupid. After all, those police officers’ families are still working for Longteng and enjoying the benefits provided by Longteng. It is impossible to really defeat them unless the Hong Kong government can provide equal or even higher treatment, but that is obviously impossible . It's nothing more than weakening him so that he can no longer say "I'm talking about Hong Kong Island". That's the main thing.

However, the Hong Kong government was somewhat wishful thinking. Maybe they had some understanding of the police force before, but they definitely didn't understand it in depth. The most important thing was that they didn't understand what Wang Yan was thinking. A normal person would not think that Wang Yan would be willing to give up the money.

Taking the initiative to cooperate and fight against the Hong Kong government is different...

Knowing that Wang Yan had made up his mind, they would definitely go to jail, and they couldn't resist, so they gave up the struggle.

However, someone still said: "Brother Yan, you are the biggest in the police force, and all the brothers listen to you. Since you said it, we have no room to object. Tomorrow we will surrender to the ICAC and explain the problem ourselves. But Brother Yan , after this time, our police force will definitely have to draw a clear line with those societies. According to your opinion, they will definitely be wiped out. But without the fees, the brothers' income will be reduced a lot, so they can agree. ?"

"Well, I know everything you said." Wang Yan nodded, and then looked at the others: "When you go back, please explain to your brothers and tell them not to worry. I will talk to the Hong Kong Governor. I will also think of other ways. My income will definitely be less in the future, but it will be clean and easy to spend.”

The detectives responded, and Wang Yan continued: "You all know who are the drug dealers. Tomorrow, everyone will go out and arrest all the big and small leaders of drug dealers and gambling stalls in their respective jurisdictions. If there is resistance, , you can kill him on the spot, do you understand?”

"Yes, sir!"

"Let's all disperse and go do something."

Wang Yan stood by the window and watched a group of Chinese detectives driving away downstairs. Some went back to say goodbye to their families, settle their household affairs, and prepare to surrender tomorrow. Some of them have to appease their police officers and convey today’s words in place. At the same time, they have to make preparations. Starting tomorrow, they will crack down on drugs and gambling...

"Brother Yan, smoke." Lei Luo handed over a cigarette with a smile and lit it consciously: "Congratulations, Brother Yan."

"I've been sent to the police academy. Why do you congratulate me?"

"Congratulations on what you said in the police academy. And this time you returned to the police academy to be a leader. Although you were tricked by others, it can be regarded as a beginning and an end. Besides, you are so powerful, even if you get to the police academy, brother Don’t we still listen to you? It’s just a name, no one cares.”

Wang Yan patted him on the shoulder: "Yes, we can really be good policemen in the future. A Luo, do your best."

"Don't worry, Brother Yan, I promise to catch all those drug gangsters and send them all to Stanley."

"How are your boys? I haven't seen them for a long time."

…

Thanks to the three big brothers (Fengyun Duel Arena) (brokensword) and (fngzi) for their continued support.

I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly for their support.

Thank you to all the brothers who recommended me for your support,

Thanks to the big brothers who read silently for their support.
