Chen Yongren was very nervous when he received the news that Wang Yan wanted to see him. He didn't know what Wang Yan wanted to see him for.
He arrived at the office on the top floor of Longteng headquarters, knocked on the door, and after hearing Wang Yan's voice inside, he took a deep breath, opened the door and walked in.
To be honest, when Wang Yan saw Chen Yongren coming in, he wanted to shoot him.
I didn't come here to take care of you or act as your babysitter. Wang Yan had been cultivating his character for so long that he almost broke down.
Wang Yan stared at Chen Yongren's eyes with a serious face without saying a word.
Chen Yongren felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast. The air became extremely sticky, breathing became difficult, and his body was shaking and sweating profusely.
This was Wang Yan's absolute intimidation over the lower classes as the boss of Longteng and a billionaire. It was an unparalleled aura that controlled life and death. This was more than Chen Yongren could bear. It was like the relationship between a tiger and a rabbit in the animal world. Wang Yan also needed to eat meat.
After a long while, Wang Yan said, "You are an undercover agent!"
Hearing this, Chen Yongren's heart skipped a beat and he almost collapsed to the ground. His lips trembled as he tried to explain something.
Wang Yan didn't want to listen to his nonsense: "Then what are you doing this for?"
"I know you went undercover in the Ni family because you hated your background, and perhaps you were also seeking revenge against Ni Kun for abandoning you and your son. I understand all of this; it's human nature."
"I don't understand why you came to Longteng undercover?"
"Were you fooled by Huang Zhicheng and want to defend your self-proclaimed ridiculous justice?"
"Or are you tired of living and want to be a meal for the animals in the sea?"
"Tell me why?"
After saying this, Wang Yan looked at Chen Yongren, who was struck by lightning.
After hearing what Wang Yan said, Chen Yongren collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at Wang Yan. He didn't want to say anything more. He thought that Wang Yan would definitely kill him if he knew he was an undercover agent, so there was no point in saying so much.
Seeing Chen Yongren like this, Wang Yan knew he was frightened. How many people can truly see through the situation when facing life and death? Why did Wang Yan live in seclusion for so long, not even taking a close look at Hong Kong Island in four years? Isn't that because he is still afraid of death?
Wang Yan said: "Don't act like you're going to die. I won't kill you."
Hearing Wang Yan say that he would not kill him, Chen Yongren's eyes regained their luster and he looked at Wang Yan in confusion.
"Why don't you kill me, Brother Yan?"
Wang Yan said somewhat reluctantly, "I don't want to kill a brainless person."
"Longteng is a big tree now, so I understand that you are here to go undercover in Longteng and collect evidence of crimes."
"But don't you use your brain? Can Long Teng be easily brought down? Apart from anything else, don't you know how many people Long Teng supports? What do you think will happen to those unemployed people if Long Teng collapses? You support them?"
"Do you know how many undercover agents Longteng has? I've found out there are only dozens of them, dozens of them, silly boy."
"There are foreigners, people from China, and people sent by superiors like you who want to make a contribution."
"Can you go back without any merit? If you want to make merit, that's for another life."
"Even if you find evidence and have some merit, I bet you won't survive the next day. If you can survive, honestly, I won't need you to report me, I'll go to jail myself."
"Either way, you die, and Huang Zhicheng gets the credit."
After hearing this, Chen Yongren thought about it carefully and realized that things were indeed as Wang Yan said.
Regardless, Longteng supports so many people and collects so much tax. Furthermore, they clean up Hong Kong Island, maintain law and order, and vigorously combat drug trafficking. To put it bluntly, they're even more police-like than the police. In some areas, Longteng might even have more credibility than the government.
In the past, even if he had thought of it, he might not have taken it seriously. But this time, when a big shot like Wang Yan said it, he understood it instantly. Even what Wang Yan didn't say, he understood it all.
It was as if he couldn't be a policeman because of his identity as Ni Kun's illegitimate son, and it was even questionable whether Huang Zhicheng, a senior inspector, had the ability to handle the matter.
Seeing that Chen Yongren understood what he meant, Wang Yan said, "Okay, don't waste your time. I'm very busy."
"Since we've been in jail together, I'll help you."
"Do you want to be a police officer, or do you want to get some money and live a quiet life?"
Wang Yan's words puzzled Chen Yongren. He was not stupid enough to believe Wang Yan's words. How could a person like Wang Yan care about a small person like him, let alone such a ridiculous reason.
Wang Yan didn't know what Chen Yongren was thinking, but of course he could roughly guess it. There is no such thing as a free lunch, right?
But in fact, this is really a pie in the sky given by Wang Yan. Wang Yan can't just tell Chen Yongren "I have a system, the system received your wish task, let me help you", that would be crazy.
Wang Yan also felt angry when he looked at Chen Yongren. Although he was a nobody in the real world, his mentality had changed after experiencing both worlds. If he hadn't been constantly cultivating his character, he would have been so arrogant that he didn't even know his name. Considering his current status, Wang Yan felt humiliated to be a nanny for someone who was obviously an undercover agent and had gone mad.
Seriously speaking, if it wasn't for the mission, Wang Yan would have shot him to death with one shot, and his last name would have been written backwards.
Chen Yongren thought about it for a long time and finally came to his senses.
No matter what Wang Yan wants to do, given his current status, it is obviously not worth it for Wang Yan to plot against him. He should take all the benefits he can get now and worry about the future later.
Chen Yongren looked up at Wang Yan and said, "Thank you, Brother Yan. I want to be a policeman."
Wang Yan wasn't surprised at Chen Yongren's choice. After all, it was a dream he had had since childhood, and now that it was right in front of him, he had to give it a try.
"Okay, I understand. Go back and wait for news."
Although he knew it was useless, Wang Yan still said it.
"Just live a good life from now on. Think about what would have happened to you if Long Teng hadn't happened."
Wang Yan had a bad feeling; this time, things were going to get really bad. He was planting a seed in Chen Yongren's heart. If one day, Chen Yongren thought of this sentence, compared it to his life, and was inspired to write something, wouldn't that be a happy ending for everyone?
I don't understand why Wang Yan said such a strange thing. Maybe he wanted him to remember Wang Yan's kindness? Chen Yongren abandoned this immature idea. Who did he think he was to deserve Wang Yan's gratitude?
Ignoring Wang Yan's inexplicable words, Chen Yongren thanked him sincerely and turned away.
After leaving Longteng Building, Chen Yongren called Huang Zhicheng and said, "I've been exposed. Wang Yan didn't kill me."
Huang Zhicheng asked, "What's going on?"
Chen Yongren then explained what had just happened. He also wanted to see Huang Zhicheng's reaction.
After listening to what Chen Yongren said, Huang Zhicheng was silent for a while. He thought about how he could arrange for Chen Yongren to go undercover.
Long Teng had wiped out all the organized crime groups and drug trafficking organizations in Hong Kong. He thought for a long time but couldn't figure out where to assign Chen Yongren. He could only say, "Okay, I understand. Let's meet later and you can tell me more about it."
Chen Yongren said okay and hung up the phone. He was very disappointed. Huang Zhicheng’s silence just now said it all.
Sure enough, after the two met, Huang Zhicheng said a lot of soothing nonsense and did not clearly express his intention to let Chen Yongren return to the police force.
No matter what Chen Yongren did, Wang Yan called a senior foreigner in the police force right after Chen Yongren left.
He asked him to arrange for Chen Yongren to be an inspector and transfer Huang Zhicheng to a clerical job.
Because of Wang Yan, Ni Yongxiao hadn't yet uncovered the truth about his father's murder, thus saving Huang Zhicheng. But you, ungrateful, framed Chen Yongren to cause trouble and sabotage Wang Yan's mission.
Of course Wang Yan had to use some tricks, but he didn't kill him, as that would be meaningless. Directly transferring him to the bench would make Huang Zhicheng uncomfortable.
It is not appropriate to look for people who are on good terms with the country at this time, as it is easy to cause misunderstandings and people may think that Wang Yan is interfering with the police force and has some ulterior motives.
If they were to contact the foreigners directly, it would take a lot of resources for them to come to Hong Kong Island. Now that the return is still three years away, whether they can make it depends on the next few years. They are happy to contact big customers like Wang Yan, and they can do things for money without any worries and effort.
As for the issue of Chen Yongren's background, Wang Yan laid out a clear line from top to bottom and arranged it clearly.
A few days later, after some manipulation by the foreigners, Chen Yongren received a message and was asked to report to the police station. Chen Yongren's undercover work was quite successful, and with Wang Yan's help, he was finally assigned to Tsim Sha Tsui as a trainee inspector. This trainee inspector position was symbolic, and within six months, he would be promoted to inspector.
Huang Zhicheng was in a bad situation. Wang Yan originally wanted to promote him to Chief Inspector, but Huang Zhicheng's qualifications were not enough to be promoted, and Wang Yan would not pay to promote him for a small role. In the end, Huang Zhicheng was transferred from Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station to the General Headquarters to do logistics management. Wang Yan was shameless and told him clearly, "I'm going to get you."
Huang Zhicheng was completely disheartened after learning that Wang Yan was the one who was harassing him. As long as Wang Yan remained in power, he would essentially be stuck in the logistics department until retirement, which was akin to reaping the rewards of his own actions.
After hearing the news about Huang Zhicheng, Chen Yongren had no time to care about him. He was so happy wearing his uniform.
Wang Yan had done everything he could, but as expected, he didn't receive any notification from the system that the task was complete. Wang Yan had basically given up, taking it one day at a time, waiting to see when he could return, as the system didn't have an option to return.
The main reason is that Wang Yan was too violent, and there was no follow-up plot. Chen Yongren's experience was not enough, and it was almost unsatisfactory. This Wang Yan was restrained, otherwise he would have killed all the characters in the plot after he was released from prison.
As for the undercover agents Han Chen had arranged, they were minor figures. Wang Yan had no interest in knowing how many there were or who they were. As long as they didn't get in his way, he didn't bother to care about them.
Seeing that there was no hope of completing the mission, Wang Yan also let go.
Since only superficial stability was maintained before, it is far from meeting expectations. We still need to continue to deepen and strengthen Longteng’s dominance over Hong Kong Island and intensify the crackdown on drug dealers.
At the same time, Longteng once again expanded on a large scale, constantly recruiting young and dangerous people. This was also unavoidable. If these people were not restrained, it would really be a problem.
Half a year passed in a flash, and Hong Kong Island was completely controlled by Longteng.
Now, Hong Kong residents can walk down the street without being harassed, stolen, or even fought. Longteng has truly extended its reach to every corner of Hong Kong Island.
Longteng Technology was also receiving good news. They had developed the DVD three months earlier and were already in production and on the market. Their partners were Wang Yan's close friends around the world. Working with them was incredibly hassle-free; there was nothing to worry about; just collect the money.
The development of the phone is basically complete, and it will be put into production in a while. This time is several months faster than other major manufacturers, which is enough to make Longteng a lot of money. After all, people always remember the first one.
There is no need to say much about the development of various industries in Longteng in China. Wang Yan is basically engaged in high-end industries, which has driven regional development and employment.
To the surprise of the Longteng brothers, Longteng's buildings in the New Territories were finally completed. These were not for sale to the public, after all, Longteng's internal staff were far from enough.
With so few houses and so many people wanting them, Longteng started a lottery. Regardless of your social status, everyone had equal opportunity, absolutely no shady dealings. Furthermore, Longteng had its own Longteng Bank, which provided direct loans to its employees at very low interest rates. Wang Yan was incredibly kind to Longteng's subordinates.
Longteng has been growing and expanding its staff. To fulfill its original promise, it has continuously acquired land for development across Hong Kong Island. Longteng's employees are eager to buy the homes they've built, and won't patronize other properties. As a result, Longteng has driven down Hong Kong Island's housing prices significantly.
Vast tracts of land in the New Territories and Kowloon remain undeveloped, and the high housing prices in Hong Kong Island are driven up by developers. Now that Wang Yan has done this, he has offended a group of Hong Kong Island real estate tycoons, led by the richest man, Li.
This group of real estate tycoons hated Wang Yan with all their might, but they could do nothing to him.
In the past, they could still use the Hong Kong Island gangs to do things for them, but now that the Hong Kong Island gangs have been wiped out by Long Teng, no one is willing to work for them anymore. Even if they paid to hire someone, no one would dare to take the job. Long Teng's deterrent power is too strong. They also didn't dare to hire an assassin to assassinate Wang Yan. They are all people in a high position and they know what it means if Wang Yan falls.
Their acquaintances with various high-ranking officials in the Hong Kong government were no match for them. Long Teng could directly influence hundreds of thousands of people. These were votes, precious political resources. They couldn't curry favor with them enough, so why would they offend Wang Yan for them?
As for seeking help from China, that was out of the question. China was extremely satisfied with Wang Yan. From the time Wang Yan founded Longteng until now, all his actions had been in line with the principle of characteristicism.
Let's not talk about anything else, just talking about drug control, Wang Yan basically wiped out the drug trafficking groups in Hong Kong Island. Coupled with Wang Yan's reward system for reporting, the effect was remarkable.
Of course, due to Longteng's aggressive drug crackdown, Hong Kong consumers are finding it increasingly difficult to buy goods, and prices are skyrocketing. When there's huge profit, there will always be those who prioritize money over life and take risks. There's no way around it; Longteng has essentially achieved a level of success comparable to that of mainland China.
Consumers on Hong Kong Island, unable to afford such high prices, would cross the harbour to Macau or Taiwan. These people, desperate for a quick fix, were in chaos in both places during this period, with crime rates soaring.
As consumers flocked to these two places, inevitably, major suppliers and distributors also began to frequently dump goods in the two places. The frequent occurrence of major crimes further exacerbated the difficulty of public security management in the two places.
There is also Wang Yan’s street office system, which can also become the office of domestic police or a convenience center in the future.
In addition, Wang Yan's large investments in China and his continuous charity work have earned him great respect in China. This is also the reason why China continues to strongly support Longteng, and the reason why Wang Yan has survived to this day.
As for those tycoons, they don't trust the country and will just keep transferring their assets.
The tycoons were helpless against Longteng, completely helpless. They couldn't just sit back and watch their wealth slip away, so they could only continuously transfer it abroad, away from Longteng. Wang Yan watched, and when the transfer was almost complete, he would send elite personnel to cooperate with his brothers to kidnap and demand ransom.
After all, they couldn't go too far in Hong Kong. With the strength of Longteng's rule, Hong Kong truly deserved the title of the safest city in the world; even terrorists wouldn't dare to poke a thorn. They understood the terrifying extent of Longteng's power. If they offended Longteng, they would have no place in the world.
If Wang Yan kidnapped them in Hong Kong, anyone would know it was him. The damage to his reputation would be disastrous, so it would be more convenient to do it abroad.
Longteng's development has now reached a bottleneck, and it can only continue to expand outward. Many people in Longteng have already begun to set foot in Macau and Taiwan.
Long Teng doesn't care about the reaction of the local community. I will just develop step by step with peace of mind. When you block my way or want to confront me head-on, I will kill you directly.
These two places have long been Longteng's food. The wise ones will join Longteng, but the unwise ones will still be mixed up in society, where the strong prey on the weak. Those who don't understand will become the food for the animals in the sea.
