Soft music echoed in the huge and gorgeously decorated room. Many foreigners and Chinese, dressed in exquisite dresses, holding expensive red wine, champagne, etc., walked around the huge room, looking for people to talk to from time to time. There were men and women in the center.

, dancing to the rhythm of music. There are long tables full of food on both sides, with all kinds of Western food, Oriental pastries, etc. all over them. Chinese waiters come and go, adding more from time to time.

Food and some drinks.

This is the banquet hall of the Mandarin Hotel in Central, which was built and put into use just a few years ago. An iconic Western buffet banquet is being held. The protagonist of the banquet is the newly appointed Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose.

In the corner, a man who was also wearing a formal dress, with a slicked back hair, and an unruly demeanor was sitting on the sofa. The plate on the table in front of him was filled with food. He ate heavily and took a few sips of wine from time to time.

William, the Deputy Commissioner of Police Operations who was smoking a big cigar, looked helplessly at the man eating and drinking: "Wang, I think you should give the Hong Kong Governor some face."

"Isn't it the same for you?"

"As you know, I will retire next year. Here I am the deputy director, and when I return home I am a rich man. In the words of you Chinese people, that is called being strong without desire."

Of course, this old boy is not as stubborn as he said by licking his face. The fundamental reason is that he can't get the job of police commissioner. He has made enough money. If he can make money for a few more years, he is guaranteed to be another one.

Face.

"What does it mean to give face? Go up and beg to say a few words to him? Look at those people who are bending over." Wang Yan raised his head in the direction of MacLehose, who was surrounded in the center, and then continued to eat and drink: "I

I really didn’t eat, and I could only eat leftovers when I got home. The chefs today are very good at their skills. It’s a pity to waste it. Of course, I should eat here before going back.”

Whether it's a Western buffet or an Eastern banquet, in so-called formal occasions, people basically don't do anything with the food, but mainly drink and chat.

It’s not that he is unique and eye-catching. If he is not qualified enough, it goes without saying that he should pretend to be a grandson. But now, to a certain extent, he is the maker of the rules. If he can come, it will be good

. He doesn’t like to eat when he has to go hungry. Now that he eats like this, many people say that ‘Wang Sheng has a true temperament’...

"King, I heard that he seems to be trying to clean up corruption and promote clean government."

"I heard that too, why are you not in a hurry?"

William laughed: "As long as he is not crazy, he will not find someone at my level. And, Wang, you know, I just participated in more of your Longteng prize-winning activities, and they are all legal. I

What's wrong? You know the situation of the police force very well, and what you did in the past, he will definitely rectify, and the one who will be most affected is you."

This laughter was somewhat gloating, but it was actually quite normal. After all, I had been his puppet for so many years, so it was impossible not to have any resentment. Now that I saw the fire burning on his body, I naturally felt a little happy.

Glancing at him, Wang Yan shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter what he does. I just show off his tricks."

The two of them were hiding here for a while, and no one came to disturb them. Wang Yan took the initiative to go to the corner. The signal was obvious, and he just didn't want to deal with it in a boring way. Most of the people present were smart people, and no one was in a hurry to find them. They were just passing by occasionally.

Just say hello and that's it.

However, this leisure was destined to be unavoidable. MacLehose was observing the situation at the scene, and at a glance he saw Wang Yan eating and drinking in the corner, and William, who was chic and wrapped in a big cigar next to him. He immediately talked to the people around him After saying a few words, he came over with a few people laughing.

Seeing this, William said nothing, stood up and nodded to MacLehose, said hello, and simply left, hiding away. He said that he would not be found on his head, but he was still there. The big boss hangs around very well.

"Wang, you have such a good appetite that people of my age are very envious." MacLehose naturally sat next to Wang Yan and spoke humorously.

The two of them had met before, but they didn't say much, they were just introduced, it was just a check-in.

Wang Yan smiled and wiped his mouth with a tissue, and raised his glass: "It's thanks to you, sir, that the food today is very delicious. It's not easy to eat so much, so I ate more." Some."

"If possible, I would be like you." MacLehose laughed and clinked glasses with Wang Yan.

After drinking, he said: "I've heard your name since I was doing wheel squats. Wang, you are such an amazing young man. Hong Kong Island is one of the safest cities in the world. Before I came here, I thought it was just bragging. But after I really looked at it, I realized that maybe even that 'one' should be removed. This is your credit and you have made an indelible contribution."

"Thank you. As Inspector Zonghua, this is what I should do."

"It is said that Chinese people are humble. Wang, you are so mature, which is really not in line with the huge achievements you have made at the age of less than forty."

"Oh? Then what should I say to make it consistent?" Wang Yan looked at him with a smile: "I'm talking about Hong Kong Island? What do you think?"

"Then it's better to be a little more modest." MacLehose was stunned for a moment, laughed to ease the embarrassment, and changed the subject: "But, Wang, there is something I don't know if you are clear about."

"you say."

"I heard that the Chinese police officers under your command are brothers to those who break the law and commit crimes, and they also collect money from them and allow them to operate various illegal establishments. There is also a unified model that draws a commission based on the turnover and also charges Market management fees for ordinary citizens. You should know that, right, Wang?"

Wang Yan looked at the young man standing on the side with a smile: "Sir, this young man can be by your side. He is also a young talent. Why don't you introduce him to me?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Wang, this is my oversight." MacLehose pointed to the young man: "His name is Yan Fu, he graduated from Oxford University and is proficient in law..."

After hearing his praises for Yan Fu, Wang Yan nodded and stared at Yan Fu: "If I remember correctly, your father is Yan Tong?"

"Wang Sheng has such a good memory. I didn't expect that he could still remember it after so many years."

Yan Fu was a little surprised that someone with such a high position as Wang Yan could remember the son of his defeated general.

"Boy, let me teach you something. Be sure to remember it well. When dealing with enemies, you must learn to hide when you are inferior to others. I don't like the look in your eyes. Maybe you don't know that I am very interested in Yi Xue and I have made some achievements. If If you look at me like that again, I guarantee you will suffer a bloody disaster today."

MacLehose shook his head and patted Yan Fu to reassure him: "Wang, I have also heard about his father and you. Although others say that you assassinated his father, I believe you. He is

He was young at that time, so it is understandable that he had some misunderstandings with you. After all, he could be where he is today only because your company, Longteng, acquired their industry so that he could concentrate on his studies without worrying about food and clothing."

"Of course, I was just joking with him." Glancing at Yan Fu who lowered his head and did not dare to look at him, Wang Yan said with a smile: "I do know what you just said. It's not that I shirk responsibility, but since you are asking Yan Fu

Tong's son helps you, you should also understand that this situation existed before I joined the police force. And Yan Tong, he used to be one of the people who made the most money. You should also know the security situation in Hong Kong Island in the past

, although I dare not call it indelible, I have contributed to the tranquility of Hong Kong Island today.

Now that you have mentioned this and brought Yan Tong’s son to work, I think you have some ideas. Mr. Governor of Hong Kong, I wonder if it would be convenient for you to tell me."

"Of course, Wang. In fact, you don't have to think too much. I have no intention of targeting you. This time, not only the police force, but other departments must also vigorously rectify it. We must clean up the public service team and improve the efficiency of the Hong Kong government. I decided to set up a

The departments that are solely responsible to me will be given special powers to specialize in the integrity work of public officials."

Wang Yan nodded and expressed his understanding. What he said was very clear, that is, we should start with the police force, the most powerful and violent department in Hong Kong Island. Once the biggest ones are eliminated, the remaining people will not be afraid.

It can also be said that we need to deal with him, Mr. Wang, first. After all, MacLehose had already understood the situation before he came to take office, and even hired Yan Tong's son to do things. It was obvious that he came to him.

Of course they won't touch him, even if he makes money openly and openly. After all, Longteng's size is there. Although there was no such company in the original history, but now that it exists, it is indispensable.

If Long Teng is in turmoil, the entire Hong Kong Island will be affected. They won't be so stubborn and cause trouble for themselves.

The main purpose was to mobilize those Chinese police officers and hit the backbone of them so that the police force could not be twisted into a rope and could not gather together for parades and riots. After all, he had instigated a large parade before, and this time it was even more related to his vital interests. The foreign devils could not

Maybe I'm not prepared for another parade.

This is an upright fight against corruption, and he cannot intervene to block it, let alone help. This will inevitably lead to a separation between him and the police officers. In addition, the crackdown on pornography, gambling and drugs has left the police officers at the bottom with no extra money.

, making little money, then he, the Chinese brother, is the first person responsible.

The police officers would not think about whether the money came from a legitimate source. What they cared about was that the money that should have been in their hands was gone, and at the same time so many brothers were taken away. As the first Chinese brother, he was indifferent.

Why are you still supporting him? Even if he provides jobs to the families of these police officers and provides them with additional benefits, it will not delay them from blaming him for their own losses. So this incident is a major blow to him. After all,

His foundation is these people in the police force.

The Hong Kong government and even the Yingguo government do not allow such a powerful person to exist. Mainly because his existence affects many things. After all, to a certain extent, he is the public opinion representative of the Chinese people in Hong Kong Island. This is of course not allowed.

As for why MacLehose told him openly, it was because there was really no need to hide it. Setting up a new department was something that could not be hidden. To put it bluntly, there were still cats who could see it.

The mouse's sense of accomplishment.

"I personally think this is a very good thing, and I support it very much. But there is one thing I have to remind you, Mr. Governor of Hong Kong, there were riots in Kowloon and the 'June 25 Parade' before. You can't do things too well to achieve results.

I am impatient, and the most important point is that the law does not punish the masses. A few people may not be fine, but if all the Chinese police officers feel that they are in danger and they gather together to have another police-integrity conflict, that will not be good."

"Thank you for your reminder. I will definitely pay attention to it." MacLehose stood up with a smile and raised his glass: "Wang, you continue to enjoy the delicious food. There are many colleagues you don't know."

After clinking glasses and taking a sip, Wang Yan made a gesture: "If you please."

As soon as MacLehose left, he connected seamlessly with William who was hiding somewhere, and looked at Wang Yan who was still eating heavily: "Wang, how are you? Did you find out anything?"

"He said that he would set up a new department that would be given special privileges and would be responsible for the integrity work of public officials. He also talked to me about the money collected by the police force and talked about Yan Tong."

Listening to his faint voice, William wondered: "He is going to do something to you, Wang, why are you not worried at all?"

"What's the use of worrying? It depends on what you do."

Ignoring the old boy who looked like he was watching a show, Wang Yan continued to eat and drink...

MacLehose moved quickly and was very tough. After four months of sorting out all the work, controlling the absolute right to speak, and making the title of Governor of Hong Kong worthy of his name, MacLehose directly followed the procedures to establish the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

.

Everyone knows the news, but no one takes it seriously. The reason why the foreigners don't take it seriously is because most of them know it and won't deal with them. The Chinese don't take it seriously, and of course it's mainly the police force. The Chinese in the police force don't take it seriously because they don't take it seriously.

Because they think it's useless. After all, every police station has an anti-corruption department, but after so many years, they haven't seen anyone fight against corruption.

Valley abandoned

Wang Yan knew that he was serious this time. After the banquet a few months ago, he summoned all Detective Hua and told them about the matter. But they did not take his words seriously, and even

He immediately put a high hat on him, saying that Brother Youyan has nothing to worry about.

Until the ICAC quickly dealt with a few foreigners, both minor and minor, and in the name of reorganizing the police force, he was promoted to superintendent, the chief detective, and transferred to the police academy to be in charge of police selection and training. At the same time, he also had to

It selects outstanding talents and establishes an elite team.

There was no other purpose than to transfer him and prevent him from directly controlling the Chinese police. In order to appease him, he was given the police academy department and a so-called elite team to give him real power.

Unlike Lei Luo who was transferred to make some police equipment, the foreigners did not dare to provoke him too much, so they did not dare to get him some civilian department to be the director, or to give him corresponding real power. Besides, the police academy had already been infiltrated by him.

, the foreign devils also checked, but none of them were able to do it. After all, the police academy does not charge fees, only the money given by Wang Yan, so there cannot be any loopholes. In the same way, let him sit in the police academy justifiably.

Big brother, if you let him train an elite team, he will accept it if he has a position, real power, and is within the rules.

But compared to the power of his Inspector General Hua, it is really far behind.

After he transferred them away, when the foreign devils began to hunt for Lan Gang, Han Sen, and Li Yiwen, the detectives were really scared and knew that this time they were serious about it.
