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

Chapter 438: High-level Exchange

When she discovered this question, Li Xiner was shocked, her mind was shaken, and she felt extremely sad. She could not accept the fact that her cousin and her husband had a child.

But after the Chinese New Year, Li Mengluo decisively left Hong Kong Island and disappeared from her own life again.

Li Mengluo's lack of reluctance made Li Xiner feel unsure again?

Li Xiner also kept comforting herself, maybe she was overthinking it. Who could accurately judge the emotions that occasionally appeared in a woman's eyes?

Maybe my cousin just admires Li Fang purely?
The child is still young, so it would be far-fetched to say who he looks like!
Li Xin'er was deceiving herself until two years ago, when during a video conversation, something moved her heart and she pretended to accidentally talk to Li Mengluo about Li Yan's promotion to Chief Superintendent of Police because he solved a Vietnamese kidnapping case. All the kidnappers were shot dead on the spot and no one survived.

Li Xiner wanted to test Li Mengluo's reaction, because logically speaking, the father of Li Mengluo's child should be a kidnapper in the Vietnamese gang.

Unexpectedly, Li Mengluo was calm and didn't care at all, as if she had never known these people.

On the contrary, when Li Xin'er pretended to suspect that Li Yan and May had an ambiguous relationship, Li Mengluo was very angry and told herself that men must be strictly controlled and never let it go. Li Yan is now in a high position, handsome and rich, which can easily attract the admiration of some women.

Make sure you keep an eye on it and don't give those women with ulterior motives any chance to take advantage of you.

At that time, Li Xiner had a heavy face as she listened to Li Mengluo talking endlessly about the experience she had learned on TV in disciplining men.

Li Xin'er's mood sank to the bottom, but she still didn't want to believe it. She thought that if Li Yan really did something like this, he would not be able to hide it from his cousin Huo Qiqiang who stayed with him all day.

She must get the answer herself, otherwise she would never believe that Li Yan had betrayed her.

Later, Li Xin'er found an opportunity when Li Yan was on a business trip and unceremoniously called Huo Qiqiang to her home.

Superintendent Huo, Young Master Huo, and Brother Qiangzi, who are all very powerful in the police force, felt like they had fallen into an ice cave when faced with Li Xiner's questioning. They were trembling with nervousness, sweat was dripping down their foreheads, and their mouths were trembling so much that they could not speak.

Faced with Li Xin'er's questioning, Huo Qiqiang strongly denied it at first, but after Li Xin'er raised various questions one by one, Huo Qiqiang was speechless.

Huo Qiqiang was hesitant and finally gave in, admitting the defeat in a sweat.

After hearing Huo Qiqiang's confession, Li Xin'er could finally conclude that her husband and Li Mengluo had a secret relationship.

Li Xiner had a sad face and collapsed on the sofa in pain, crying bitterly.

Facing the almost collapsed Li Xin'er, Huo Qiqiang felt heartbroken and scared, so he told Li Xin'er what he had heard from Li Yan about what happened during the rescue of Li Mengluo the night before his return.

Finally, Li Xiner was persuaded that Li Yan and Li Mengluo really had no affair, and it was just that their emotions were out of control after surviving a disaster.

Li Yan is just like Jackie Chan, he just made the same mistake that all men make.

Originally, after one night, the two would have no more contact, but they had a child. Whether it was Li Yan or Li Mengluo, they both loved Li Xiner deeply and did not want to hurt her, so they sacrificed themselves and went their separate ways.

Come to think of it, they were two miserable people!

After much thought and with Huo Qiqiang's earnest persuasion, Li Xin'er decided not to expose the truth and pretend that she had never discovered the incident.

Huo Qiqiang also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that less trouble is worse than more, and he promised repeatedly that he would pretend that he had not seen Li Xiner that afternoon and had not betrayed Li Yan. As long as Li Yan did not ask, he would never confess.

Li Xiner is an even smarter person. After thinking about it carefully, she discovered that ever since the incident with Li Mengluo, Li Yan might have felt guilty and had become more considerate and caring towards her.

Apart from this incident, Li Yan fulfilled all his responsibilities as a husband, even better than the men in his family.

Li Yan has his current wealth and status, and he is alone.

The wealthy people in the upper class circles of Hong Kong Island, as well as the men in the Li family that he knew, including his own father, all of them had mistresses in private.

The older generation had several concubines, and there are still many like this in Hong Kong Island today.

If the legal system weren't strict now, who would only have one wife? Even in this era, rich people still have many women, but they just don't dare to bring them home and keep them secretly outside!

Second uncle has more than a dozen young women outside. Compared with them, Li Yan has done very well.

If that’s the case, what else can I say?
Thinking of this, Li Xin'er felt much more comfortable. If Li Yan didn't mention it, she would just pretend that it had never happened. No matter what, Li Mengluo was her cousin after all, and it was better than letting her get away with someone else. Besides, Li Xin'er knew Li Yan, and he probably didn't have too many feelings for Li Mengluo, otherwise he would definitely leave her in Hong Kong Island.

Li Yan did this not because he was afraid that his grandfather and second uncle would be angry, but entirely because he was concerned about his own thoughts.

Li Xiner felt a sweet feeling in her heart, and even developed some pity and sympathy for her older cousin.

There is a girl named May who lives alone with her child. Li Xin'er naturally knows the pain of a single-parent family, where the woman has no lover and the child has no father.

Li Xin'er has now come to terms with it. Such things in Hong Kong's upper society are nothing. As long as someone is rich, it is harder to ask him to control his lower body than to take his life.

Li Xiner also learned from her grandfather that during this period, the top brass of the Police Department were fighting fiercely and to the death. As one of the factions, Li Yan was also dragged into the bureau and had no peace.

The work style cases that occurred some time ago were a manifestation of the fierceness of the struggle.

For this reason, my grandfather called me to the old house and told me to consider the overall situation, be aware of the general situation, and put the overall situation first. No matter whether these things are true or false, I must not let a fire start in the backyard and lose my composure, which would ruin Li Yan's big plan.

Li Xiner thought that after this period of time, when things were stable, she would talk to Li Yan about bringing her cousin back to Hong Kong Island. They were all family, so there was nothing that couldn't be discussed properly.

Don't make a mess of things and hurt your family's feelings.

Now seeing May being attracted to Li Yan, Li Xiner felt calm. Li Yan's self-control was admirable. He was not interested in this.

What's more, Sasha's father will be back soon, and May's admiration for Li Yan is just a woman's admiration for an outstanding man.

I can't control this kind of thing. It's my fault for choosing such a man!

The next morning, Li Yan returned to the police station, and countless colleagues came out to greet him and welcomed him warmly.

Li Yan was like a victorious general, completely overshadowing Yin Jianqiang and Huang Zhicheng.

However, Yin Jianqiang did not feel jealous at all. He had heard from Shen Cheng that Lao Zhang, the head of the Personnel and Training Department, had reached retirement age and was about to retire.

This confidant of Gao Jianbin that he left behind is finally leaving!
Shen Cheng managed to get Yi Ge and Gao Jianbin on board through his operations, and decided to promote himself to the head of the new Personnel and Training Department.

He was promoted to Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police and replaced Director of Finance, Administration and Planning, Cheung Wing-kwok, as a member of the core decision-making level of the Police Force.

Zhang Yongguo was promoted two months ago and was assigned to the Security Bureau to be responsible for financial affairs.

The vacated position was taken over by the former Director of the Hong Kong Island Region, Zhou Yongchang. Zhou Yongchang was originally Gao Jianbin's man, but his qualifications were slightly inferior to Liang Feihu. At that time, Gao Jianbin chose Liang Feihu to be the Director of the Operations Department, so Zhou Yongchang wasted so many years.

In this high-level personnel change, Gao Jianbin finally agreed to Yin Jianqiang's promotion to director of the Personnel Training Department, and Shen Cheng also supported Zhou Yongchang to take over Zhang Yongguo's position in the Finance Department.

The two made an exchange and neither of them suffered any loss.

However, there is only one police rank of senior assistant director. Considering that the Finance Department itself is headed by a civilian staff member of the same rank as the senior assistant director, it is not in line with the rules to occupy the police rank of the Personnel and Training Department for a long time.

The higher-ups won't agree.
Xu Dingan worked on Gao Jianbin privately and told Gao Jianbin not to argue with Shen Cheng over these details. The authority to be promoted to the No. 1 Brother lies in the Grand Marshal's Office, and these senior assistant directors can do nothing.

If Gao Jianbin defeats Shen Cheng and becomes the boss in the final game, these people in the decision-making layer can be arranged at will. If he loses and loses his position as the boss, what is the point of occupying a position at that time?
It's just like Shen Cheng manipulates me.
It was wrong for the Finance Department to occupy this position originally. Xu Dingan took advantage of the coincidence and his own strength to "borrow" the title from the Personnel Training Department.

After Gao Jianbin lost the authority to manage the Personnel Training Department, he was afraid that Lao Zhang would fall into Shen Cheng's arms and become an enemy, so he no longer asked for his police rank to be restored.

Shen Cheng had just arrived and was in charge of the Criminal and Security Department, which was on par with Gao Jianbin's Operations Department. He did not want to be too strong and cause Gao Jianbin to feel uneasy, so he did not ask for an increase in Lao Zhang's police rank.

In addition, Mr. Zhang from the Personnel Department is old, and as someone who works in personnel, he is the kind of person who is in harmony with the world and tries to balance both sides. He does not want to be caught between two major factions for a nominal police rank, so he did not take the initiative to request the return of his police rank.

Thanks to Lao Zhang's voluntary concession, the core power of the Police Force was balanced. This move won unanimous praise from the three giants of the Police Force. So two months before his retirement, Xu Dingan took the initiative to promote him to the position of Senior Assistant Director.

After working for two months, he retired honorably as a senior assistant director.
