The world never revolves for anyone, and there is no one who cannot survive without it. The time came to January of 1957.
The storm of Yan Tong's death passed quickly and had no impact at all. If anything, it was probably when Yan Tong was alive, people said he was powerful and wanted to be valued and promoted by him. But now, when people talk about him, all the bad things he did in the past have been exposed one by one, and they are thrown into the street one by one. They are also talking about the specific cause of his death.
Wang Yan successfully took over Yan Tong's property and his influence in the police force. He recommended a young man with a fairly good resume to the vacant Central Inspector position. Of course, this young man is thirty years old.
As for Lei Luo, his number one younger brother, of course Wang Yan also took care of him. He was promoted to a senior detective immediately after being promoted at the beginning of the year. And he is preparing to make arrangements for him to be the detective by the end of the year.
Chen Tong was already quite old, and he gave a clear indication that he would be allowed to work until he retired in 60 years, which would be enough money. This is much better than the fact that Chen Tong only worked until 1952 and was tormented by a little loser like Diamondback after his retirement. Moreover, Chen Tong's eldest son is now working as a plainclothes policeman, inheriting his mantle.
Chen Tong was a sensible man and maximized the benefits of his romantic relationship with Wang Yan. He has made enough money for himself and can go home to retire and enjoy life. If something happens, raising Wang Yan's name is enough to solve most of the troubles. Although he can continue to work until sixty years, it is Wang Yan's reward, but if he doesn't want to be arrogant and brings his son in, Wang Yan will not fail to take care of him.
Wang Yan understood these thoughts, but didn't pay much attention to them. It is understandable that an old man shamelessly seeks a future for his son and for the future prosperity of the family.
As for Lan Gang...
At the Chang'e milk tea shop in Tsim Sha Tsui, at the innermost table, six members of Wang Yan's family, each holding a cup of milk tea, gathered together to play poker and draw turtles. There is no such way of playing here, it is taught by Wang.
Being a detective in Tsim Sha Tsui is certainly not a difficult job. He can treat his subordinates to a drink and that's basically it. If you can solve it, you will definitely digest it yourself. If you can't solve it, you will definitely find him.
So he had some leisure time again, wandering around with his wife and children. Today he went shopping to buy clothes for the children. It happened to rain, so he went to a milk tea shop to sit and play for a while.
Xiaoyue's chubby little hands tried back and forth on her father's only two remaining cards, hesitating. His big eyes looked at his biological father closely, hoping to see some clues on his face and eyes.
But unfortunately, my father's face was expressionless.
Finally, her patience ran out, and she stretched out her hand to hold a card with a desperate attitude, only to find her father briefly raising the corners of his mouth: "No, I choose this one."
Wang Yan's face was expressionless: "Are you sure? Do you really not want to think about it anymore?"
"Ignore it, just this one, let's open the card." The little guy was so proud that he couldn't help but make his voice louder. He pulled out the card fiercely and slapped it on the table.
"Dad, you are so cunning..." Seeing the big ghost on the table, Xiaoyue looked dejectedly at her smiling father, not forgetting to glare at her two younger brothers who had been laughing their heads off for a long time.
Wang Yan looked at her with a smile: "Hurry up, it's my turn, you will be a little turtle soon."
Miss Bai was too lazy to pay attention to them. She felt that this game was very wrong, because no matter who lost or won, weren't their family all bastards? Even though she and her three sons had already run away...
"Huh, it's definitely not me this time." Xiaoyue grabbed the king card and put it together with the card in her hand. She flipped it up, down, left, right, and left. After a while, she stopped and put the two cards together. He placed the cards on the table and signaled his father to choose the cards with his eyes.
After going back and forth for a long time, she didn't even know which picture was which, and she didn't believe her biological father could know.
Wang Yanzhen knew, after all, it was done in front of him, he could see it clearly. Without hesitation, he directly picked up a card and put it together with his own. Just as he was about to raise the mood with some suspense before the cards were drawn, a plainclothes man opened the door and walked in: "Brother Yan."
"What's up?"
"Lan Gang, Han Sen, and Li Yiwen are waiting for you at the police station. The military uniform who was patrolling just now said he saw you here."
Nodding, Wang Yan stood up and said, "Okay, dad won't play with you anymore. Let's talk about it when we get home. Let's go, Miss Bai."
"No, Dad, you're being rude and run away when you see you're about to lose." As she spoke, Xiaoyue turned over two of her father's cards...: "Well... Dad, go ahead and let people wait. It’s been too long and rude…”
Wang Yan glanced narrowly at the good girl who was laughing and holding the cards with her little hands. Wang Yan laughed, scratched her little nose, turned around and left the milk tea shop, and the plainclothes man got into the car with an umbrella and returned to the police station. .
In the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station, in the detective's office, Lan Gang and others were restless because they were worried that things could not be controlled. Seeing Wang Yan who opened the door and strode in, the three of them quickly stood up with a very low posture. Of course, they can't get high even if they want to.
"Sit, sit, sit, sit and talk. All three of us are majestic detectives. We are all on the same level, so there is no need to be so polite." As he spoke, he sat down on the large and comfortable chair behind his desk.
How dare the three of them do this? Lan Gang, the one with the highest status, accompanied him with a smile: "Brother Yan is joking, how can we be on an equal footing with you? Today we are here to apologize to Brother Yan. We were not sensible before, and we hope that Brother Yan will not follow us." Don't worry about it, give us a chance to change our ways. Brother Yan, don't worry, we will follow your lead."
Han Sen also expressed his position: "Yes, Brother Yan, we will listen to you from now on."
Li Yiwen, the lowest-ranking man, nodded repeatedly and agreed.
They can be considered realistic, of course, for this reason, and they cannot be unrealistic. When they came over, they were convinced, they surrendered, and they simply said it openly.
Originally, they thought very well. After taking over Yan Tong's power, Wang Yan would definitely seek to completely unify the Chinese police. As the only three remaining big detectives who control nearly half of the detectives in the Holy Land, they certainly have the capital to negotiate. According to their expectations, Wang Yan will definitely send someone to contact them and talk to them, and they can also put forward self-interested conditions. But the reality is often the opposite, and they are wrong.
Wang Yan didn't bother them at all, and even those who wanted to stumble in the business didn't take any action. Because even though Lan Gang and the others had already lost their temper with their detectives, when they no longer had the ability to cause any obstacles to Wang Yan, the detectives were not fools, so how could they believe their words. He promised well at first, but later he took the initiative to find Wang Yan and expressed his surrender.
Without Yan Tong and his group, the anti-king front includes about twenty people including Lan Gang and others. In the past month, a dozen people have abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, breaking away from Lan Gang and the others.
They couldn't stand it any longer, so they came here to express their surrender.
Wang Yan waved his hand with a smile: "Sit down, we have to have a good talk."
After hearing what he said, the other people sat down straightly. It’s not that you guys don’t know how to sit. The police force has rules. Every police officer from top to bottom knows about it, but few people ask them to sit properly.
"If you have any ideas, tell me."
Lan Gang said without thinking: "Everything is according to Brother Yan's instructions. I just hope that Brother Yan will consider our difficulties. We still have a family to support."
The other two nodded in agreement.
Wang Yan nodded, picked up the cigarettes on the table, took out one and lit it himself, then threw it to a few cigar smokers and blew out the smoke gently: "I understand what you mean, I am tolerant of others. Yes, you can rest assured that we won’t behave like a king or a defeated bandit. Whatever you do now, you will do in the future. As long as you abide by my rules, everything will be fine.
As for your property, I won’t hide it from you. After swallowing up Yan Tong’s property, Longteng’s funds are now somewhat tight, so it cannot pay you the full amount. As for the specific price, how to pay it back, someone will come back to you to discuss it. Is there any problem? "
The three people quickly expressed their opinions: "No, it all depends on Brother Yan." They really didn't expect that it would be so easy. The conditions were relatively favorable, so there would be no problems.
Comparing themselves with others and thinking from his perspective, if they were Wang Yan, they would definitely transfer Wang Yan to a position where there was no chance of success, and they would try their best to suppress him to death. They admired the magnanimity and magnanimity of letting go so gently now.
"Since there is no problem, you should go back first and wait for my people to contact you."
The three of them nodded, said a few polite words, and left the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station. The moment they stepped out of the door of the detective's office marked that Detective Wang had gone from a small uniformed police officer to the top of the Chinese police force in more than seven years.
In fact, it is said that the police force is keeping a low profile. From this moment on, he is the number one Chinese in Hong Kong and Kowloon. Longteng is the largest company in Hong Kong and Kowloon. After annexing and digesting the industries of several detectives, Longteng will have an even more rapid expansion period. In a place where money speaks for itself, his influence is unquestionable. Those other justices of the peace and those who were awarded honorary titles by Queen Ying are all rubbish. Although he can't make others do what he says, his influence is there. Counting the nearly 10,000 Chinese police officers under his direct control, he is the most powerful in Hong Kong and Kowloon.
Of course he is not that magnanimous, but Lan Gang and the others really can't make a few waves, so there is no need to waste their energy. He is still younger than these people. Even if he retires, these people will not dare to be presumptuous. There is nothing to worry about. Trying to control Lan Gang and others would not give him any sense of accomplishment, but would make him feel worthless. So there is no need to dwell on things that can be explained clearly in three sentences.
Three detectives, Lan Gang, Han Sen, and Li Yiwen, surrendered. The Chinese police officers became a family, and the news spread like wildfire.
Not to mention that Wang Yan received many calls from interested parties, the foreign devils didn't feel very good. Because originally they wanted to balance, but Yan Tong died, and the remaining few people surrendered unsatisfactoryly, how could they achieve balance?
What made them even more irritated was that at the end of January, a few days before the Chinese New Year, the two chief detectives, who had only been in office for a few years, all approached William and applied for retirement. The words are consistent, saying that he is too old to serve and hopes to return home and be raised in honor until he dies.
In fact, these two chief detectives are also capable, but in their upward journey, they inevitably fail to take into account the interests of those below. After the detective involution began, they also started to build factories, but they were promoted later and could not be promoted, and were finally given to Wang Yan, Yan Tong and others. They didn't expect Wang Yan to be so violent. The originally balanced situation ended within three days...
Now Wang Yan is in charge of all the Chinese police officers. The two of them are blocking the way, and his subordinates have no counterattack. If they don't surrender to power, they will only die a bad death. What's more, the two of them recently participated in a high-age amateur swimming competition organized by Longteng Tea to advertise energy drinks, and both received generous prizes...
In Wan Chai, the newly opened Hong Kong Island Police Headquarters, named Kin Building, is located on Arsenal Street and was built just four years ago.
Police Commissioner Maxwell and a group of senior police officers at the Constitutional Committee level and above from Assistant Commissioner were sitting in two rows for the meeting. Director William, who was in charge of the Criminal Investigation Division, was among them.
After listening to William's report, Maxwell couldn't help but shake his head: "The chief inspector was forced to resign..."
"I heard that they participated in the swimming competition organized by Wang."
Hearing this, Maxwell glared sharply at the assistant director who spoke: "Shut up, haven't you ever won a prize? What we are discussing now is how to curb Wang Yan's behavior against his will among the Chinese in the police force, not to let you Talking such useless nonsense.”
The assistant director lowered his head and said nothing, but he couldn't help but curl his lips, "You son of a bitch, you're the one who won the most, but you're still trying to stop me..."
"We have nothing to do, Director. Now all the Chinese police officers are at his disposal. If our compatriot detectives want to do something, they must inform Wang Yan first, because without Wang Yan's approval, they will not be able to mobilize their subordinates. Chinese police officer.”
"Not only in the Operations Department, as far as I know, there are also some civilian Chinese police officers in various police stations, including our headquarters, who are actively moving closer to Wang Yan. If this continues, I'm afraid in a few years, even if we want to do things, we will have to I asked him for advice.”
…
In one word or another, the senior police officers told him how great Wang Yan was now and expressed their concerns about the future.
Maxwell looked at William, who had been silent until now: "You are Wang Yan's superior officer, William. Tell me your opinion."
"Director, no matter how powerful Wang Yan is, he is always under our control, and his power is given by us." William cleared his throat and said: "No interest group can truly unite and always be united. Seeking unity in struggle, the same is true for the Chinese police officers in the police force now. We have to admit that Wang Yan is really a genius. It only took seven years to reach this point in the police force. At the same time, he is also the richest man in Hong Kong Island. businessman.
Now that he has reached the top among the Chinese, and there are only a few places with rich opportunities, I think it is time for them to start fighting among themselves because of their interests, just like what we did originally, but now it is Wang Yan Be the referee. So why can’t we take advantage of this? "
There was silence in the conference room for a while, everyone was thinking about William's words.
Maxwell can be a director, so he is certainly not a waste. He has already considered what William said before and has a case against him. The purpose of holding a meeting to discuss was just to hope that his subordinates would give him some highly feasible new suggestions. But alas, no.
And the most important thing is that Wang Yan is too rich. If Wang Yan was from their country and had the same face as theirs, based on what Wang Yan showed, he might have an honorary title by now. Of course, that was his secret sigh. What he wanted to say was that some of his compatriots sitting here must be doing something for Wang Yan.
This is understandable. Even though they hold power, it is normal for them to help Wang Yan in order to return to their hometown after retirement and enjoy a worry-free life with their grandchildren. In fact, if he hadn't been the chief of police, he might have chosen this way. After all, he might be the one who participated in the Longteng organization's activities the most and had the largest bonus among these people...
After a long while, Maxwell said: "I have decided to add the post of Chief Chinese Detective, and Wang Yan will be the chief commander of all Chinese police officers in the police force. At the same time, three chief detectives will be set up in Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories to serve as chief detectives. Wang Yan reports work, and can also report directly to the Criminal Investigation Department. Lan Gang is appointed as the Chief Inspector of Hong Kong Island, Han Sen is appointed as the Chief Inspector of the New Territories, and the Chief Inspector of Kowloon is recommended by Wang Yan. Now, a show of hands." After that, he He raised his right hand and looked at the senior police officers present.
The others were stunned for a moment, then reacted, raised their hands with a smile, and voted unanimously...
"I recommend Li Yiwen to be promoted to Chief Inspector of Kowloon."
At the Kowloon Regional Police Station, Wang Yan gently flicked off the ash from his cigarette butt with his slender fingers and looked at William opposite him with a smile.
Just like the original play, when the foreign devils were about to make a move, the foreign devils said that politics was their specialty. This is a very clever political method, but it is not a very clever method.
The clever thing is that he is really working under others. He has no right to refute the decisions of the superiors and can only follow them. What is not clever is that there is nothing new in this. This kind of thing has been repeated countless times in history.
It is nothing more than fragmentation and disintegration, and the unfairness and lack of balance he may encounter will arouse the resentment in the hearts of the die-hard followers who follow him, thereby reducing his influence among the Chinese police.
The key to the selection of the chief detective this time is that Lan Gang and Han Sen, who fought against him to the end, gained the greatest benefits. They did not die or go bankrupt and lived on the streets. They got rid of the high salary and high benefits to support the police officers' families and took back their money. He used some of the money he invested previously and was promoted to chief detective. What about those who have followed him from the beginning?
They will not think that this is a means of differentiation by the foreign devils. They will only focus on the fact that they do not get as much as they imagined. Unlike him who doesn't care, most people care more about officially recognized titles.
Leaving him a candidate not only shows respect for him, but also stimulates his subordinates first. After all, he has so many fans, so this candidate can only be the one with the greatest merit. But to put it bluntly, anyone who consciously follows him for a long time will feel that they have made a big contribution, and whoever they choose is wrong.
So if that's the case, then no one should join, and let everyone on the anti-king front be the chief detective.
He is not afraid of this method, because the foreign devils have overlooked one point, or perhaps do not care about it. His base is not the detective, but the nearly 10,000 ordinary police officers.
Perhaps the foreign devils took it for granted that now that he had unified all the detectives and provided jobs to the families of all police officers, everyone was on the same level, and the situation would be the same as before.
But the real situation is definitely not like this. Perhaps when new police officers graduate from the police academy and take up their posts in the first year of junior high school, their families can have high-paying and high-benefits jobs. Without realizing it, they may even think that this is what they should do. Of course A fool who really thinks this way will not reach a high position. But the original police officers didn't think so. They knew how much 'Brother Yan' helped them.
Maybe they can't get promoted, maybe they are in a barren land without money and water, but they are not responsible for supporting their families. The money they earn is controlled by their own small family. Even if they work in the worst place, their family life is the same as that of other big families. It is beyond the reach of most people. In addition to Wang Yan's good reputation for many years in the packaging business, Wang Yan's prestige is unparalleled in treating diseases, borrowing money, and doing things for peace.
Therefore, at least for the current group of ordinary police officers, whatever 'Brother Yan' says is what he says.
It was also the loyalty derived from the simple gratitude of many ordinary police officers that gave Wang Yan supreme power. To put it simply, even though he has reached the highest position, he can still control ordinary front-line police officers, and he can dominate any detective.
Due to the composition of the population of Hong Kong Island, it is of course common for Chinese in the police force to form cliques. It was like Lei Luo and Chen Tong were naturally close to each other just because they were fellow Chaozhou people. Then people in Chaoshan and other places will also have factional disputes. In addition to the fights due to differences in oil and water, the police force is also very chaotic, even though he now dominates the Chinese police officers.
Therefore, we don’t care if the foreign devils add fuel to the fight that already exists. He only has one thing, he will pick up whoever is dishonest. There is no shortage of detectives, and there are a lot of police officers waiting to be appointed.
So this time it won't have any impact on him, just pick up a few people who think they have made a big contribution.
As for the fact that after this group of police officers retired, they gradually lost the gratitude in the hearts of the lower-level police officers. This kind of thing will not happen because he is still there. People are not afraid of never having something, but they are afraid of losing something after having something. As Longteng develops, he will gradually increase the benefits of additional Chinese police officers. Every time they enjoy something, they inevitably feel grateful for 'Brother Yan''s care, and feel that there are only a few fools who should be like this...
William frowned and looked at Wang Yan: "Wang, are you really not thinking about it anymore?"
"Is there anything to hesitate about? Let Li Yiwen be the chief detective of Kowloon!" Wang Yan smiled and shook his head: "Or, who do you want me to recommend?"
Sensing the impatience in his tone, William slumped his shoulders: "Okay, as you wish."
"That's it. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first, sir." Wang Yan didn't stop, stood up, straightened his clothes, and turned to leave.
William looked at the office door and was speechless for a long time. He thought about Wang Yan's intention of doing this...
On February 15, 1957, the second day of the Lantern Festival, at the regular meeting of detectives in the middle of the month, in front of fifty-seven Chinese detectives, William, the director of the Criminal Investigation Division, attended the meeting. A new appointment was announced, with Wang Yan assuming the newly created position of Chief Inspector. The appointments of three Chief Inspectors, Lan Gang, Han Sen, and Li Yiwen, were also announced.
At this time, it was only three months since Wang Yan was promoted to Inspector of Tsim Sha Tsui. Many people were not ready, including the Chief Inspectors of the three places. Because after William announced his appointment, he left the three of them alone...
Faced with a group of detectives who wanted to know the inside story and had different thoughts, Wang Yan simply comforted him with a few words, then left the regional police station in a car and crossed the sea to the company's headquarters. Because all the industries are now merged, he has been very busy recently.
In the afternoon, Lan Gang, Han Sen, and Li Yiwen, who had lunch with William, ran to the Longteng headquarters in Central in a panic because they thought they would have a heart attack the next moment and they didn't want to die...
