Hong Kong Film: Night Cop

Chapter 236 The Really Smart Man Chen Yao
"Half of the twelve leaders of Hongxing were promoted by him, and the Han Bin brothers were even poached from other societies by him."

"How could Liang Kun possibly oust Jiang Tiansheng based on this alone?"

Having said that, Li Fei paused for a while to let everyone think about it for themselves.

"Everyone should know Chen Yao!" Li Fei said again.

"Of course I know. This guy is a fence-sitter. If he hadn't been bribed by Liang Kun, Jiang Tiansheng..."

He Jin was the first to speak, but as he spoke, he seemed to think of something, recalling what Li Fei had just said about Jiang Tiansheng. His eyes lit up and he asked, "A Fei, was it Jiang Tiansheng's idea that Chen Yao was bribed?"

"That's right. As Jiang Tiansheng's confidant, how could Chen Yao be so easily bribed by Liang Kun and even betray Jiang Tiansheng at the headquarters?"

"This is actually Jiang Tiansheng's plan to put Liang Kun in power and then completely bring him down. After Liang Kun was pushed to the forefront, although he seemed to have power, he was actually just a pawn in Jiang Tiansheng's hands and could not escape the fate of being brought down in the end."

Combining some speculations on the Internet in his previous life and some information he found, Li Fei was able to easily deduce Jiang Tiansheng's plan.

But Li Fei felt that Chen Yao was even smarter and more cunning than Jiang Tiansheng, and he knew how to behave. Even if Jiang Tiansheng died, he was still living a very comfortable life.

Chen Yao's identity in the Hung Hing Society is 415 White Paper Fan. He also served as the boss of Sai Wan for a period of time, but most of the time he was the society's strategist and second-in-command. If Jiang Tiansheng was not in Hong Kong, all affairs of the Hung Hing Society would be decided by Chen Yao, who was actually the acting leader.

In the movie, Jiang Tiansheng was shot dead by Crow, and Jiang Tianyang returned to Hong Kong to take over Hung Hing. Jiang Tianyang did not seem to trust Chen Yao. Before he returned to Thailand, he handed over the decision-making power of all Hung Hing affairs to Chen Haonan, and even told him that "you can arrange for A Yao to do things."

To put it bluntly, at the end of the sixth movie, Jiang Tianyang actually handed over the leading position to Chen Haonan, and Chen Yao continued to assist Chen Haonan as a white paper fan.

Even though Chen Haonan's actual status in the society has surpassed Chen Yao, he still cannot compare to Chen Yao's role and influence.

Putting aside other things, if Chen Haonan were to handle any of the fancy moves Chen Yao made in the movie, Brother Nan would be torn into pieces by other people in charge in minutes.

In the first part of "A Chinese Odyssey", Chen Yao was the first to stand up and backstab Jiang Tiansheng at the leader election meeting, and helped Liang Kun win the position of leader.

This feat earned Brother Yao a huge red envelope transfer of 5 million from Liang Kun.

Of course, Jiang Tiansheng must have agreed to this, otherwise Chen Yao would not have openly betrayed Jiang Tiansheng.

At the end, Chen Yao turned against Liang Kun again, brought Jiang Tiansheng back to take charge of Hongxing, and accepted Shan Ji's 15 million online reward.

With just two rounds of operations, Brother Yao successfully received 20 million yuan, and there were no negative consequences at all, because Jiang Tiansheng had no intention of pursuing Brother Yao and still let him be the second in command.

From this point, Li Fei could suspect that Jiang Tiansheng and Chen Yao had teamed up to trick Liang Kun.

Under normal circumstances, Chen Yao betrayed Jiang Tiansheng and eventually helped Jiang Tiansheng regain control of Hongxing, but as a traitor, even if he was forgiven, he would not be allowed to be the second-in-command.

What makes Li Fei admire Chen Yao the most is that in almost every movie he would set a trap for Chen Haonan. Even if he was tricked, Chen Haonan would not take any action. Brother Yao was still the white paper fan and second in command of the society, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai to the left of the leader.

This kind of chaotic pace and constant digging of traps without any negative consequences, and the aura of not pursuing responsibility even when everyone is deceived, is a hundred times stronger than the protagonist's plug-in. Chen Yao is the well-deserved MVP among the six main stories.

Of course, this somewhat contradictory approach is actually due to the film's fast pace and short length, so the roles of supporting characters other than the protagonist are minimized. This compression of roles inevitably leads to a lack of fullness in the character images. A character like Chen Yao, who is originally more of a tool, is naturally only able to stir up trouble when necessary, and the complex inner drama and deep character development are completely ignored. If the Chen Yao in the comics is discussed as the "real Chen Yao", then looking at the entire Young and Dangerous world, including various movies, spin-offs, comic books, and fan series, Chen Yao is a unique existence.

Or in other words, Chen Yao's Big has surpassed Young and Dangerous and is the top winner among the best.

Chen Yao is the only character in the entire comic who has been active from the beginning of the establishment of Hongxing to the end.

Chen Yao follows Jiang Tiansheng and assists him with all his heart, but Chen Yao is not the kind of simple subordinate who is blindly loyal and filial.

On the contrary, because Chen Yao had followed Jiang Tiansheng all the way, he knew all about his character flaws and various dirty pasts, and gave Jiang Tiansheng a comment of "extremely selfish".

To put it bluntly, Chen Yao's loyalty wasn't to a single leader, but to the entire Hongxing Society. As a high-level talent who relied on his brain for a living, Chen Yao understood the importance of a broad perspective and scoffed at personal charm.

Chen Yao has always implemented this concept throughout his life and has always stayed away from danger. He has made enough money and fame in the bloody underworld of Young and Dangerous, and finally escaped unscathed.

In the movie, there are actually many differences from the comics, such as the fact that Liang Kun drove Jiang Tiansheng away.

In the comics, Chen Yao also staged a betrayal drama with Jiang Tiansheng, ostensibly forcing Jiang Tiansheng to give up his position to Liang Kun.

In fact, the purpose was to make Liang Kun go to Taiwan to accept the accountability of the Yamaguchi-gumi. The worst case scenario would be that he would be used as a scapegoat and shot.

Perhaps due to the length and time constraints of the film, this part of the plot was omitted, instead highlighting Jiang Tiansheng's helpless act of being forced to abdicate, or perhaps the director was paving the way for Chen Haonan.

"This Jiang Tiansheng is really cunning and sly." Chen Sanyuan clicked his tongue.

She felt that she was lucky not to have met someone like Jiang Tiansheng in her life. If she really met such a person, she felt that she would die without knowing how she died.

Li Fei smiled and said nothing. If he told them that Chen Yaocai was a shrewd and scheming guy, they would probably have nightmares at night.

"It seems that Chen Haonan and Shan Ji were responsible for the death of Liang Kun, but in fact the biggest beneficiary was Jiang Tiansheng," said Liu Jianhui.

"Damn it! They all say that the members of the society are loyal and righteous, and they even worship the same Second Master as us, but no one is loyal and they are all plotting in secret. It's a pity for the boss."

After understanding what happened, Roy cursed.

Big Brother B is extremely loyal to Jiang Tiansheng, and the police also know this. But if everything was planned by Jiang Tiansheng, then Jiang Tiansheng watched his confidant go to his death without any clue. That is really despicable.

Li Fei understood Jiang Tiansheng's contempt better than anyone else, and he would do anything despicable to protect himself.

In order to negotiate with other communities, Jiang Tiansheng was afraid that he would suffer losses, so he went directly to the police for help.

The police had files on this back then, so Li Fei could easily find it.
