Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 983 Seeking Li Yonglian’s Help

After discussing how to deal with the members of the Political Department, Zeng Xiangrong left the police force. He made an appointment to meet with the Secretary for Justice, Lai Wing-lam, to discuss the incident of being targeted by both Li Shutang and Wong Bing-yiu.

There was no way. Zeng Xiangrong was no match for them in the police force. Since Li Shutang took office, he began to gradually reduce the number of foreigners in the police force, and Huang Bingyao had obviously inherited this.

The Chinese nation has had a saying since ancient times: Those who are not of our race must have different hearts!

Especially after experiencing countless years of suppression by foreigners, the Chinese who came to power began to suppress the power of foreigners in turn. Now foreigners can no longer play a big role in the police force.

Although the foreigners still hold commanding positions in some important posts, this is much better than it was ten years ago.

Think about it, back then, the highest position a Chinese police officer could hold was not even the inspector level, and now, even the top officer in the police force is Chinese. This is an epoch-making gap.

So at this time, Zeng Xiangrong was the biggest supporter of the foreigners in the police force. He could only seek support outside the police force, and Lai Wing-lam from the Department of Justice appeared in his eyes.

He had inquired and found out that although Li Yonglian was a Chinese, he admired England very much and was now a British person because the identity cards he had were all from England, not Hong Kong.

After a private investigation by the Political Department, it was discovered that Lai Wing-lam was able to rise to the position of Secretary for Justice so quickly by relying on British talents.

After being introduced by some intermediaries, the two people got to know each other. After discovering that their ideas were very similar, their feelings for each other quickly heated up. After just knowing each other for a few months, they felt like old friends who had known each other for many years.

After Cai Yuanqi's death, Li Yonglian lost his partner in the police force, and he was worried about this. Then Zeng Xiangrong happened to appear, and the two of them fell in love and colluded with each other directly.

After hearing that Zeng Xiangrong was in trouble, he decisively canceled two meetings and headed towards the agreed meeting place.

When Li Yonglian arrived, Zeng Xiangrong was already sitting there. He immediately asked, "Mr. Zeng, what happened? Why are you looking for me so urgently?"

Zeng Xiangrong said with a somewhat grim expression, "I'm in trouble now. Didn't I take advantage of the disbanding of the Special Branch to recruit most of its members and place them in various departments of the police force?"

"Now that the truth has been exposed, Li Shutang and Wong Ping-yiu have joined forces to put pressure on me and have expelled most of the Special Branch members from the police force."

"And most importantly, thanks to the collusion between Li Shutang and Huang Bingyao, my promotion to Deputy Director of Management next month has taken a slight turn."

Hearing this, Li Yonglian also frowned and said in a deep voice: "What's going on? Didn't Li Shutang retire? Why would he take action again and join forces with Huang Bingyao?"

Hearing this, Zeng Xiangrong smiled awkwardly and said, "It's all that idiot Mike's fault. He recommended someone to me, but that person was already recruited by Li Wenbin, so he encouraged me to poach him."

"Mike highly praised that person, saying that even if he failed, given his cautious nature, he wouldn't tell anyone."

"I listened to his lies and approached that person to recruit me, but he rejected me. I didn't think much of it at the time, but I didn't expect him to tell Li Wenbin about it."

"Then Li Shutang made his move, and Huang Bingyao, seeing this, wanted to take advantage and also started to make his move. As a result, what was originally a done deal may now be subject to slight changes."

Zeng Xiangrong sighed and said, "I'm at my wit's end. That's why I came to you, Director Li, for help. Now you're the only one who can help me!"

Li Yonglian thought about it and realized that he had finally met this guy. If his promotion next month was ruined, it would be very difficult to get promoted again in the future.

Moreover, only when Zeng Xiangrong's status and strength become higher and higher can he help himself. Now according to the other party's strength and status, it is basically impossible for him to help the Secretary for Justice.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Yonglian said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Mr. Zeng. Given our relationship, I will definitely help you. Besides, it won't be that easy for Li Shutang and Huang Bingyao to sabotage your promotion."

"Your promotion was approved by the Security Bureau, the Department of Justice, and the Secretary for Administration, and finally signed by the Governor."

"Although Li Shutang and Huang Bingyao have great power, it is not so easy to change the Governor's signature. Relax, and I will help you. Just put your mind at ease."

After listening to this, Zeng Xiangrong breathed a sigh of relief and slowly said, "Thank you very much, Director Li. If you need me in the future, Director Li, please let me know. I will do my best to help you."

Li Yonglian smiled and raised his glass, saying, "Come, let's have a drink together. There's no need to be so formal between us brothers."

Zeng Xiangrong quickly raised his glass and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble Director Li. I'll drink it, you can do whatever you want!" After that, he drank the glass of cigarettes and alcohol.

Li Yonglian smiled and said, "You've done it all, so why shouldn't I do anything?" As he said that, he also drank it all in one gulp.

Just when Zeng Xiangrong was looking for Li Yonglian, Li Wenbin also came to Watson's office.

Watson was very surprised by Li Wenbin's arrival and said, "Mr. Li, what can I do for you?"

Li Wenbin glanced at Huasheng with a complicated expression before slowly saying, "Mr. Hua, thank you very much for this."

Watson was slightly startled. He actually heard the word "thank you" from Li Wenbin's mouth, and it was directed at him. Is this the sun rising from the west?

Looking at Hua Sheng's expression, Li Wenbin said calmly, "Mr. Hua, I heard from my father that it was you who persuaded the director to take action this time. Otherwise... Anyway, thank you very much for your help, Mr. Hua."

As he spoke, Li Wenbin bowed to Watson.

Watson quickly emerged from behind his desk, supported Li Wenbin, and said, "Mr. Li, you don't have to be so polite. Zeng Xiangrong has gone too far this time. He's secretly recruited people from the Political Department and placed them within various departments. That's why I took action."

Then he said solemnly: "Besides, how we fight is our business. If those foreigners want to take advantage of us, I won't agree!"

Hearing this, Li Wenbin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly shouted loudly: "That's right!"
