Hong Kong General: Undercover and Liansheng, from 49 to leader

Chapter 49 [49] Big Circle Leopard
The next day, early in the morning, on the rooftop of a building in Tsim Sha Tsui.

"Mr. Chen, you don't have to drag me along for morning exercises, right?"

Lu Yaowen looked at Chen Wenzhan, who was wearing sportswear, and said with a smile.

"Awen, you have been so powerful recently. You have basically taken over the entire Lianhe Society."

Chen Wenzhan ignored Lu Yaowen's joke and said calmly.

"Mr. Chen, didn't you want me to choose Liansheng Longtou? If I don't increase my own strength, what can I choose?"

Lu Yaowen's rhetorical question made Chen Wenzhan speechless for a moment, and he immediately changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this. Congratulations, after today's promotion ceremony, you will officially become the person in charge of District 9."

"Mr. Chen, if you want to congratulate me, just give me a call. Do you have to call me over so early?"

Lu Yaowen chuckled.

"When you become the regional leader, give a copy of your gang's underwater book to the police."

Chen Wenzhan glanced at Lu Yaowen and said lightly.

"Mr. Chen, I thought you didn't trust me, but I never thought you would distrust me so much."

Lu Yaowen looked 'sad'.

"Awen, it's not that I don't trust you. This is the rule of the police force. I know you have been with Liansheng for five years and you must have feelings for the people around you, but don't forget that you are a police officer."

Seeing that Lu Yaowen was emotionally "fluctuating", Chen Wenzhan immediately started to do PUA.

Then, without waiting for Lu Yaowen to speak, Chen Wenzhan continued, "Ah Wen, I know that you gave up the Hong Kong University to take the police academy entrance exam in order to investigate your father's case and clear his name. I promise you that as long as I become the Chief Superintendent and join the Constitutional Commission, I will reopen this case and get to the bottom of it."

Before, Lu Yaowen would occasionally have some "little emotions", but Chen Wenzhan would basically handle it by saying "don't forget that you are a policeman". But three months ago, this situation changed.

Since three months ago, Chen Wenzhan found that Lu Yaowen was becoming increasingly difficult to fool. As a last resort, he could only throw out his "big killer" to fool Lu Yaowen this time.

Only police officers of the rank of Chief Superintendent and above can participate in the Police Constitutional Committee, and all major affairs of the police force must be voted on by the Constitutional Committee.

In the Constitutional Committee, even the Chief Superintendent of Police has only the right to attend meetings. Only the Commissioner of Police, two Deputy Commissioners, four Senior Assistant Commissioners and eight Assistant Commissioners, a total of fifteen people, have the right to vote, so the Constitutional Committee is also called the Commissioner-level meeting.

In addition, the Commissioner of Police has a veto power and the power to make decisions on major matters through special operations, bypassing the Constitutional Committee.

However, generally speaking, the boss will not use his special powers. After all, the pressure of individual responsibility is much greater than that of collective responsibility.

Although the Chief Superintendent of Police does not have the right to vote in the Constitutional Committee, as a member of the Constitutional Committee, he also has the power to propose the reopening of sealed files. Unless it is a case of great importance, most cases will be reopened.

Although Chen Wenzhan is still a police superintendent, it does not prevent him from "painting the pie" for Lu Yaowen. If this "painting of the pie" is successful, he can continue to lure Lu Yaowen for at least another five years.

"Sir Chen, let's talk about reopening the case after you become the Chief Superintendent. I will never hand over the Undersea Book to the police force now. Don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't trust you, it's that I don't trust the other people in the police force. I'm risking my life, but I don't want to be killed by my own people for no reason."

What Chen Wenzhan did not expect was that Lu Yaowen directly rejected his promise. Although Lu Yaowen kept saying that he trusted Chen Wenzhan, Chen Wenzhan could hear clearly that every word Lu Yaowen said revealed his distrust of him.

"Lu Yaowen, you'd better hand over the underwater book as soon as possible. Don't forget your identity!"

Chen Wenzhan saw that the soft approach didn't work, so he resorted to the hard approach.

"Mr. Chen, I remember I told you not long ago that it is rare for a person to be confused in his life. Do you really have to make it so clear?"

Facing Chen Wenzhan's "threat", Lu Yaowen stared at Chen Wenzhan with sharp eyes and spoke slowly.

"..."

After hearing what Lu Yaowen said, Chen Wenzhan's expression changed slightly, but he immediately said forcefully: "Lu Yaowen, what do you mean?"

"Mr. Chen, Hong Kong is a society based on personal relationships. You help me, I help you, and everyone helps each other. We each get what we need. It's good for you and me. But there is one thing. Don't be greedy and make excessive demands. That will make everyone look bad. Do you think I'm right?"

Lu Yaowen asked back with a smile.

"..."

Chen Wenzhan pointed at Lu Yaowen, seeming to want to say something, but ultimately did not speak and simply turned and left.

Looking at Chen Wenzhan's leaving back, Lu Yaowen's face was unusually calm.

After awakening his past life memories, Lu Yaowen began to doubt his undercover identity, but Chen Wenzhan was still of use to him, so Lu Yaowen did not expose the matter. Instead, he kept testing Chen Wenzhan's bottom line and trying to gain benefits from Chen Wenzhan to help him strengthen his own strength.

As Lu Yaowen grew stronger, Chen Wenzhan wanted to put handcuffs on him, so there was no need to pretend. He told Chen Wenzhan directly that if he wanted to continue the cooperation, then it was good for both of us, and don't cross the line. As for the case Chen Wenzhan mentioned, Lu Yaowen actually learned about it from his mother Gao Xiuyun indirectly. At that time, the company where his father Lu Rongping worked had financial fraud and raised tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars after listing. After that, it was reported, and his father, the financial director who had just taken office for less than a month, was pushed out to take the blame and sentenced to three years in prison.

In the 1960s, for a case involving a sum of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, even if Lu Yaowen had never read the case files, he could guess that the various chains of evidence in this case must have been flawless, and that the police officers in charge of the case at the time might have already climbed to the top of the police force. In this case, it was basically impossible to rely on the police force to overturn the case.

Lu Yaowen and Chen Wenzhan now understand this principle clearly.

Only Lu Yaowen, who was still a student five years ago, would naively think that as long as he joined the police force, he would be able to reinvestigate his father's case and clear his father's name.

Chen Wenzhan knew very well that it was impossible to overturn the case by relying on the police force, but he still tried to fool him. This made Lu Yaowen even more certain that this guy had no good intentions towards him.

This is also one of the reasons why Lu Yaowen asked James to apply for transfer to CIB. CIB is responsible for managing the police force's informants and can review the informant's files after strict review. If he is Chen Wenzhan's informant, then he can still say that Chen Wenzhan is just using him, Lu Yaowen.

If you are not even the contact person...

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Lu Yaowen's eyes.

……

An hour later, and Lianshengtuodi.

"Brothers or gold?"

……

"The first oath of Hongmen is that after you join Hongmen, your parents are my parents, your brothers and sisters are my brothers and sisters, your wife is my sister-in-law, and your nephews are my nephews. If you do not follow this rule or remember this feeling, you will be considered to have broken your oath and will be killed by the five thunders!"

"The second oath is... to annihilate with five thunders!"

……

After reciting the "Five Thunders" thirty-six times, Lu Yaowen read out the oath of the leaders of District 2 who had "joined the group". After two hours of hard work, he finally completed the entire process of the promotion ceremony.

"Awen, from now on, you will officially become the person in charge of District 9. From now on, we will all work together to create a new world for the society."

Finally, Chuiji, as the leader of Heliansheng, made a summary speech.

"Lao Ding, for the sake of the society, I will go through fire and water, no matter what it takes."

Lu Yaowen had a determined look on his face and his tone was so sincere that it seemed as if he would fight for He Liansheng in the next second.

"Awen, the club will be ruled by young people like you from now on."

Chuiji was very satisfied with Lu Yaowen's attitude and laughed.

"Lao Ding, brothers, I have reserved Tsui Wah Restaurant. Please come and visit us at noon."

Lu Yaowen also laughed.

At noon that day, at Tsui Wah Restaurant, Portland Street.

"Brother Fire Bull!"

Lu Yaowen greeted Huo Niu first, then looked at Master Su who was beside Huo Niu, and said with a smile: "Ah Su, thanks to your recommendation last time, I was able to find Chen Dazhuang, who helped me solve a lot of problems. I'll toast you later."

“It’s…it’s okay, Wen…Brother Wen, you…you…you’re so polite.”

Master Su replied with a smile.

"Who is this brother?"

After greeting Master Su, Lu Yaowen looked at the young man standing on the other side of the fire bull and asked.

This young man stood straight with a sharp gaze, and it was obvious at first glance that he was not an ordinary person.

"Brother Wen, just call me Little Wolf."

After hearing what Lu Yaowen said, the young man smiled and spoke.

At this time, Huo Niu also smiled and said to Lu Yaowen: "Awen, I used to have a henchman from the mainland, nicknamed Big Circle Leopard. He was very skilled and smart, but unfortunately he was sentenced to seven years for manslaughter four years ago. This is his younger brother Big Circle Wolf, who escaped from the mainland half a year ago. He is also very skilled..."

Huo Niu, who was introducing the Big Circle Wolf, did not notice that when he mentioned the three words "Big Circle Leopard", Lu Yaowen's eyes flashed with brilliance...
