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

Chapter 413: Separation! Maybe it's a farewell forever

Although Li Yan felt heartbroken for Huo Qiqiang, there was nothing he could do. As everyone knows, getting involved in other people's family affairs will not end well.

When Emperor Liu was involved in Liu Biao's family affairs, he was just talking nonsense after drinking and couldn't hold it back, so he just said a few words casually.

What was the result? Cai Mao led his men to the guest room at night and attacked with swords, almost killing the emperor's uncle on the bed.

The emperor's uncle was lucky. In the middle of the night, wearing only thin pajamas, he was as panic-stricken as a fish that had escaped the net. When he was riding his horse back home in the cold wind, he must have slapped himself hard a few times.

Who told you to talk so much?

Li Yan knew that Mr. Huo's time was running out, and the time he would stay in this world would be even shorter. It was already 2002, and the plot had developed to the end of the year, and almost all the main characters would "return to their respective positions". The plot would also end, and he would leave the world of Infernal Affairs.

As for how the world will operate after he leaves, Li Yan can no longer control it.

In the previous world, Li Yan chose to stagnate because there was really no other way. He was the emperor, and if he disappeared, even for just one month, the world would be in chaos, and he had to control it.

But in the world of Infernal Affairs, he was just an insignificant figure. Even if he left, it would only affect a few people, which was not a big deal. Therefore, this time Li Yan would not choose a static world, but let it continue to operate.

It's not fair to let billions of people around the world revolve around one person.
In the world of Infernal Affairs, apart from Li Xin'er and Li Mengluo, the family members who shared the same bed with him, he only had one close friend, Huo Qiqiang.

So Li Yan gave Qiangzi some subtle hints so that he could be mentally prepared, but Huo Qiqiang could never have imagined it.

What Li Yan called separation turned out to be a farewell forever.

In the following week, the rumors about Li Yan not only did not disappear, but intensified. Not only did they go beyond the scope of the West Kowloon Police Station, but even other police stations and the district police stations below began to talk about it.

Not only was it spread privately, a large number of unnamed reports were sent to the Police Department. Not only did Li Yan's direct superior, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, receive them, but even the head of the Police Department's Supervision Department, Senior Assistant Director Liao Chengzhe, and even two deputy directors and a brother received the reports.

The whistleblower accurately delivered the letter to several key people, and it was obvious at a glance that it was done by someone familiar on the inside.

Liao Chengzhe, who was in charge of the Supervision Department and the Internal Affairs Department, saw a large number of letters of complaint handed over by his subordinates. He looked thoughtful, opened a few letters and read them, and did not touch the rest.

The contents are similar, all talking about the work style problems of Senior Superintendent Li Yan, Deputy Commissioner of West Kowloon Police Station.

Because Li Yan was also the head of the West Kowloon Internal Affairs Department, he was also Liao Chengzhe's direct subordinate, and Liao Chengzhe was very familiar with him. Li Yan was young, not only smart and capable, but also very good at dealing with people. He would ask me out every now and then, either to drink, eat, soak in hot springs, or to play golf, race horses, or go out to sea.

He was accompanied by some third-generation rich young men from Hong Kong's upper class society, and Liao Chengzhe thus got to know many powerful people.

The relationship between the two can be described as inseparable. One is trying to curry favor, while the other is trying to make friends, so naturally their relationship will not be bad.

Especially Li Yan's position in the Internal Affairs Department, was appointed by his boss, Brother Xu Yi.

At the decision-making meeting, Yi Ge spoke for Li Yan more than once.

This made Liao Chengzhe doubt the personal relationship between Li Yan and Yi Ge. It was probably not ordinary. At least he was half his own person, so Liao Chengzhe had no worries.

As a member of the powerful, the power behind Li Yan is unfathomable. In Liao Chengzhe's heart, Li Yan is the kind of person who can only be befriended and not offended.

It's just that these young masters are sometimes lax in their requirements for themselves and make some mistakes in their work style, which is normal. However, there are still few people like Li Yan who are in a high position and openly bring their "lover" around.

Liao Chengzhe smiled nonchalantly, picked up the phone, and called Li Yan: "Li Yan, come to my place after work tomorrow morning. I have something to talk to you about."

"Brother Cheng, is there anything that must be discussed in the office?"

Li Yan said enthusiastically, "Why don't I treat you tonight? There's a Thai massage place in Wan Chai that seems pretty good. Qiangzi has recommended it to me several times. Their Ice and Fire is very unique. I haven't tried it yet. Why don't we go out together to relax and chat while having fun?"

Hearing Li Yan's rogue voice, Liao Chengzhe felt a headache: "Not tonight, Old Taishan's condition has worsened, and it will probably be in the next few days. I have to accompany your sister-in-law to watch over him."

"Let's talk about it in the office tomorrow. It's serious business!"

"What's the matter? Good or bad? Big or small?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Just come if I tell you to. We'll talk when we meet." After saying this, Liao Chengzhe ignored Li Yan, smiled and shook his head, then hung up the phone.

If there were other people at the scene, they would probably be very surprised. Old Taishan was going to the west, but why didn't Director Liao seem sad at all and seemed very happy?

Jane is a beast
Li Yan hung up the phone in his office casually. He looked at May, who was sitting opposite him with an awkward expression, and said with a smile: "May, you can see that I am very busy. What do you want to say now and make it so formal?" May said with embarrassment: "Sir Li, I think I should resign."

"There are rumors about our relationship in the office now. I'm single and raising a child. I've had enough of other people's cold stares over the years, so I don't care. But you're a good person, and I don't want to get you into trouble and have you be criticized."

"May, has anyone talked to you? Was it Mr. Huang? Or was it Huo Qiqiang?"

May shook her head quickly. "No, none of the officers in the department came to see me. It's just that the way my colleagues looked at me was a little strange, and there are rumors now. I also know that I don't think this is good."

"May, the innocent will be innocent, and the tainted will be tainted. If you resign or transfer now, it will make you look guilty and give those people an excuse. There is nothing innocent between us. When Ah Ren comes back, the truth will come out naturally. You don't have to worry about it."

“But this won’t be good for you.”

Li Yan waved his hand nonchalantly and explained: "Things are not as simple as you think. Those people are deliberately targeting me. It's useless for you to leave now."

"I have come this far and have seen all kinds of situations. You don't have to take these rumors to heart. Just do your job well. Leave the rest to me. Don't worry, it won't take long for all the rumors to disappear."

Seeing Li Yan's insistence, May sighed secretly, feeling like a jinx. Anyone who got close to her would be in trouble.

But thinking about how he had worked hard for three years and with the help of Li Yan, he finally joined the police force. He was reluctant to give up his stable and solid life. Seeing Li Yan's confident look, he had to temporarily suppress his worries.

Ever since this man appeared in his sight, he has always been calm and confident.

The aura of remaining calm even when faced with a mountain collapsing in front of him really makes people convinced unconsciously.

May left in fear of failure!
Li Yan lit a cigarette, took a light puff, and the exhaled smoke enveloped himself.

The rumors were vague before, but now with Huo Qiqiang and myself secretly fanning the flames, the rumors are like wild horses that have escaped from the border, becoming more and more intense.

The people from the Police Department also began to get restless. Liao Chengzhe asked them to go to the headquarters, probably because of this matter.

After thinking about tomorrow's meeting and how to discuss it, Li Yan put out his cigarette and left the office.

At 9:30 the next morning, Li Yan came to Liao Chengzhe's office in the Supervision Department and knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Liao Chengzhe is about 40 years old, belonging to the young generation of the police department. He is relatively young, with thick black hair, which is neatly groomed. In addition, he is a confidant of the boss, holding the power of the supervision department. His handsome appearance and calm demeanor make Liao Chengzhe, who is middle-aged, exude a unique charm.

Every time the two of them went to a nightclub together, most of the young ladies there would gather around each other, making Li Yan a little jealous.

Aren’t they all said to be greasy Mediterraneans?
How come the people I know, whether it's Gao Jianbin or Liang Feihu, all have very good personal images? Even Yi Ge and Shen Cheng haven't lost their hair. Only Huang Zhicheng looks a bit ugly.

Maybe Hong Kong Island is still too small!
After all, it is only equivalent to a county in the north. Even if the sea level is included, it is only barely the size of a prefecture-level city with a population of more than 7 million.

However, the size of its economy is incredibly large. In 1994, the GDP of this tiny country exceeded one trillion yuan. In 2000, the neighboring Guangdong Province became the first province in the north with an economy exceeding one trillion yuan.

Li Yan collected his scattered thoughts and sat down opposite Liao Chengzhe with a relaxed expression.

Seeing Liao Chengzhe reviewing documents without even raising his head, Li Yan straightened his face and asked with a smile, "Director, you're looking for me?"

"Look, they're all yours."

Liao Chengzhe pointed to a stack of letters on the upper right corner of the table. His tone was neither hurried nor slow, but gentle and it was impossible to tell what his attitude was.

Li Yan reached out and flipped through the letters. After reading about three or four, he stopped moving.

Liao Chengzhe finished processing a document, stood up, and walked to the sofa to sit down. Li Yan also stood up, picked up the cup on the other's desk, and put it on the coffee table.

He then skillfully made himself a cup of tea. The two of them sat sideways. Liao Chengzhe looked at Li Yan for a long time and smiled softly: "Okay, you are quite composed and not panicking."

"It seems that you have anticipated today's situation!"

"Tell me, how do you want to deal with this matter? I can help you suppress it. However, as far as I know, Brother Yi and the two deputy directors have received a lot of such letters, I'm afraid it will be difficult to suppress them."
