Yang Gui then stopped saying anything.

Then!

Lin Zhengyi said earnestly, "Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go now. I'll contact you if I need anything!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Gui nodded, gave this response, and then turned and left.

As he watched Lin Zhengyi's departing figure, Lin Zhengyi narrowed his eyes.

Through this conversation, Lin Zhengyi basically determined who Yang Gui was.

A capable person who is principled, but not particularly steadfast in adhering to principles.

Although Lin Zhengyi accepted the offer of such a person, he would never place him in a position of trust.

They can only be considered subordinates, but definitely not confidants.

Because the other party has principles, but they don't particularly adhere to them.

Having principles means having your own ideas. Sometimes, when your ideas conflict with those of others, the other party will choose to go against your ideas and abide by your principles.

Not being particularly principled means that the other party might choose to betray you under certain extreme circumstances.

For example, family members being threatened.

Under these circumstances, it was impossible for Lin Zhengyi to place him as a confidant.

of course!

It's not that his behavior was wrong.

Family members are always the most important people in the hearts of most normal people, and it's normal to betray yourself for your family.

But, then again.

What is a confidant?

It means someone who would never betray themselves, even if they died or their entire family died.

Only this kind of person can be called a confidant.

He always puts your interests first; only such a person can become a true confidant.

Therefore, under these circumstances, Lin Zhengyi accepted the other party's defection and would use the other party, but the other party could never become his confidant, only someone he trusted relatively and someone he would use.

"However, in any case, now that Yang Gui has voluntarily surrendered, the only person I need to deal with next is Robert!" Lin Zhengyi thought to himself.

Chapter 657 Conspiracy

quickly!

It's time to get off work.

After a day of dealing with various matters, Lin Zhengyi left his office and started walking outside.

"Inspector Lin!"

"Inspector Lin!"

"Inspector Lin!"

Along the way, many members of the anti-triad squad greeted Lin Zhengyi, their expressions even more respectful than in the previous days.

Although Miller's situation seems to be due to his own lack of self-discipline, the people in the anti-gang team are not stupid. Miller's previous medical examinations were all normal, but this time the problem was found.

In addition, this physical examination was an extra one outside of the routine check-up, and the examination included items that are not usually checked. It was also quite strange that the anti-gangster team could easily guess that there was something fishy about this physical examination and Miller's matter.

As for who is most likely to target Miller, it is undoubtedly Lin Zhengyi.

of course!

They had no evidence, and out of respect for Lin Zhengyi's authority and the superintendent's rank, they dared not make wild guesses, so they simply kept this speculation to themselves.

However, this does not prevent them from showing even greater respect for Lin Zhengyi.

And they outwardly displayed this respect.

This has led to the current situation.

At this time!

A tall, imposing foreigner with blond hair, blue eyes, a slicked-back hairstyle, wearing a white suit shirt, overalls, and clean leather shoes, appeared on the road where Lin Zhengyi had left.

Lin Zhengyi glanced at the other person.

No one else!

It was Robert, the leader of the first group!

Speaking of which, Robert is a fairly common name among foreigners, just like Zhang Wei; there are always a few like him out of every hundred people.

Of course, it's not as common as Zhang Wei's case, but it's relatively more common.

Among the police officers in Hong Kong, Lin Zhengyi knew more than five people named Robert.

And Robert, standing before us, is naturally one of them.

Lin Zhengyi was very curious about Robert's sudden appearance in front of him.

Why did Robert contact him?

Demonstration?

Or declare war?

It's no wonder he thought that way. After all, as far as he knew, Robert was Miller's die-hard supporter. If Robert wasn't looking for him for these reasons, Lin Zhengyi really couldn't imagine what he wanted.

next second!

Robert's actions, however, made Lin Zhengyi frown.

"Sir!"

Robert adopted an unusually respectful demeanor and said, "Please feel free to ask me anything in the future!"

Hear this!

Lin Zhengyi couldn't help but frown.

If this is said in private, it means the other party wants to rely on you.

But saying it in public carries a slightly more nuanced meaning.

It's as if they're pledging allegiance to me in public, as if everyone knows they've pledged allegiance to me.

The problem was that Lin Zhengyi could tell from the subtle expressions on the other party's face that the other party didn't really want to pledge allegiance to him.

and so!

He definitely had ulterior motives for saying that.

But what is the purpose?

Lin Zhengyi was very puzzled.

So, his mind started working at lightning speed.

While he was thinking, he also caught a glimpse of the shocked expressions on the faces of the anti-triad members around him out of the corner of his eye.

They are not fools.

Naturally, I understand what Robert meant.

It's obvious he's trying to side with Lin Zhengyi!

That's why they were shocked.

It's worth noting that the other party was previously a staunch supporter of Miller, but then turned around and sided with Lin Zhengyi. The contrast is too great.

However, it was their shocked expressions that suddenly gave Lin Zhengyi a flash of inspiration, making him realize the other party's purpose.

This prevents you from using normal methods to attack the other party.

With himself becoming the acting head and a new deputy head not yet being elected, it can be said that the power of the anti-gang unit is concentrated in Lin Zhengyi's hands.

In this situation, it would be very easy for Lin Zhengyi to deal with Robert.

If you give him some difficult, even deadly, tasks, Robert will be finished.

but!

All of this is based on the premise that Robert is not one of their own.

If Robert isn't one of their own, it doesn't matter how Lin Zhengyi deals with him. To outsiders, Lin Zhengyi is just dealing with his enemy. They might be intimidated by Lin Zhengyi's ruthless methods, but they won't think much of it.

They are enemies after all!

However, once Robert joins Lin Zhengyi's ranks, even if it's just a blatant commitment, Lin Zhengyi will find it difficult to use legitimate means to deal with him.

For example, right now, the other party has publicly expressed their willingness to pledge allegiance to me. If I accept them, even if I later discover that they are not truly allegianceing me, outsiders will still perceive them as genuinely allegianceing me.

If I were to use legitimate means, that is, to assign them some difficult tasks, tasks that would result in certain death, it would definitely make others feel disheartened.

Becoming one of Lin Zhengyi's people not only doesn't bring him any preferential treatment, but he also suffers such treatment. Who would dare to become one of Lin Zhengyi's people in the future?

If no one dares to be Lin Zhengyi's man, Lin Zhengyi will eventually become a lonely figure.

This is absolutely a taboo.

Being alone means having no one to rely on. Even if you have a nominal position of power, if no one listens to you, it's equivalent to having no power at all.

and so!

Robert's intention wasn't genuinely to side with Lin Zhengyi; it was a calculated move!

Once Lin Zhengyi accepts the other party's defection, it means he can no longer deal with him using normal means.

of course!

Lin Zhengyi can also choose not to accept it.

However, it seems that the other party had anticipated this.

Why would the other party say this in public?
