Xu Huayan, Zhang Zhiyong, and Deng Wei exchanged glances once more, and Xu Huayan spoke again, saying, "Okay, Mr. Li, we agree."
For Xu Huayan, Zhang Zhiyong, and Deng Wei, what mattered was not how much money Li Jun offered, but whether Li Jun would back down.
The three of them were very satisfied with Li Jun's answer.
At this moment, Xu Huayan, Zhang Zhiyong, and Deng Wei had no idea what awaited them...
Police headquarters building, office of Criminal Investigation Department Chief Lee Man-bin.
"Old Li, let me introduce you to Liu Jianming, the rising star of our Criminal Intelligence Division whom I've mentioned before."
Liang Wenfeng pointed to Liu Jianming standing next to him and said to Li Wenbin with a smile.
"Minister Li, hello, I am Lau Kin-ming, Chief Inspector of the Criminal Intelligence Division of the Kowloon Region."
After Liang Wenfeng finished speaking, Liu Jianming immediately greeted Li Wenbin.
Although almost everyone in the police force knows that Lee Man-bin is about to be promoted to Deputy Commissioner of Police, he is still the head of the Criminal Investigation Department. Therefore, a large-scale operation like 'New World' must be directed and coordinated by him, the highest-ranking officer in the Criminal Investigation Department.
"Liu Jianming, I know you. Superintendent Liang has recommended you to the Police Force for promotion to head of the Kowloon Regional Criminal Intelligence Bureau. You must not let Superintendent Liang down."
After Liu Jianming introduced himself, Li Wenbin looked Liu Jianming over and slowly began to speak.
Because he was about to be promoted to deputy director in charge of management, Li Wenbin needed to place his cronies in the Criminal Investigation Department so that he could remotely control the department.
After all, the Criminal Investigation Department was Lee Man-bin's stronghold in the police force. Officers like Leung Man-fung, the head of the Criminal Intelligence Bureau, and the head of the Criminal Investigation Bureau were all close friends of Lee Man-bin. Needless to say, the head of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau was also Lee Man-bin's old subordinate. This stronghold was absolutely not to be lost.
Therefore, Liu Jianming, a "rising star" in the Criminal Investigation Department, was also a "key" target for Li Wenbin to win over.
"Minister Li, I know, I will definitely not let down Superintendent Liang and your guidance."
Liu Jianming also tactfully included Li Wenbin in the list of thanks.
Hearing Liu Jianming's words, Li Wenbin nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Liu sir, I've reviewed your operation plan. Tonight's timing is good, but it is indeed a bit rushed. Are you sure your undercover agents can successfully complete the mission?"
“Minister Li, the undercover agents in Operation 'Hidden Tiger' are all people I carefully selected. Their abilities are beyond doubt. As long as our police force gives them some space tonight, they will definitely be able to complete the mission.”
Liu Jianming said with a determined look.
“Inspector Lau, since Superintendent Leung trusts you, then I naturally trust you too. Tonight, the entire Criminal Investigation Department, including the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, the CID, and the NB (Narcotics Bureau), will fully cooperate with Operation New World.”
Li Wenbin 683 looked deeply at Liu Jianming before slowly speaking.
He fully supports Liu Jianming, but he also has his own plans. Li Wenbin is well aware that his cooperation with Li Jun has come to an end, and the two will inevitably clash in the future.
If he could bring all the major triads on Hong Kong Island, except for Hung Hing, under the control of the police force and into the hands of Li Wenbin, it would obviously be good news for him.
Li Wenbin never dreamed that everything he did tonight would benefit Li Jun.
"Thank you, Minister Li!"
Liu Jianming stood with his legs together and thanked Li Wenbin loudly.
Then, Li Wenbin picked up the telephone receiver on his desk and dialed a number.
"Notify the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, CID, and NB that tonight..."
After the call was connected, Li Wenbin immediately issued the order.
A few minutes later.
"Liu sir, get to work. We'll see what you do tonight."
Li Wenbin put down the phone and looked at Liu Jianming, speaking slowly.
"Yes, sir!"
Liu Jianming responded loudly, then turned and left Li Wenbin's office.
After Liu Jianming left, Liang Wenfeng smiled and said to Li Wenbin, "Young people are still energetic and willing to work hard, unlike us old guys who are all thinking about retiring and going home to enjoy our retirement."
"Old Liang, is he the successor you chose?"
Li Wenbin looked at Liang Wenfeng and said calmly.
"How's it going? Not bad, right?"
Liang Wenfeng smiled and asked Li Wenbin in return.
"Old Liang, you have the most seniority in the Criminal Department right now. After I leave, you will take over as the head of the Criminal Department."
Li Wenbin did not answer Liang Wenfeng's question, but instead talked about other things.
“No problem. The Criminal Investigation Department is our territory. If you don’t trust outsiders to manage it, we old buddies will feel resentful.”
Liang Wenfeng replied with a smile.
"There's one more thing, about Li Jun, I think..."
After explaining the matters concerning the Criminal Investigation Department, Li Wenbin looked at Liang Wenfeng and slowly said, "..."
"Old Li, you're not kidding me, are you? Li Jun is at the peak of his career right now. Are you out of your mind to do this?"
After hearing Li Wenbin's words, Liang Wenfeng's face was full of shock.
"Old Liang, this is our only chance to completely take control of the police force."
Li Wenbin looked at Liang Wenfeng and spoke slowly, word by word.
"Will the foreigners follow your plan? Don't forget, we just cooperated with Li Jun and tricked the foreigners badly, snatching the police force from their hands."
After pondering for a long time, Liang Wenfeng looked at Li Wenbin and slowly spoke.
“Old Liang, we don’t need to cooperate with the foreigners. We just need to give them a chance, and they will naturally come at us on their own. Moreover…”
At this point, Li Wenbin paused slightly, then slowly said, "Old Liang, there's a saying among the foreigners: there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests."
At this moment, Li Wenbin's expression was extremely solemn, but his eyes were like those of a martyr, piercing and unwavering...
[178] Ruthless and vicious, the top executives of Sun Kee, Number Gang, and Wo Luen Shing were all wiped out!
Tsim Sha Tsui, Mengzhi Club.
The wealthy people who came to the Mengzhi Club that night were almost all amazed by the club's luxury, which also brought in dozens more members.
Moreover, it is foreseeable that the number of members of the Mengzhi Club will continue to rise rapidly in the near future.
It wasn't just because of Li Jun, but also because this place was truly high-end, far surpassing the Victoria Hotel and the Peninsula Hotel in terms of luxury.
For high-ranking officials, interests come first, and face comes second.
Without the Monde Club as a comparison, the Victoria Hotel and the Peninsula Hotel would still be passable. However, after experiencing the Monde Club, these wealthy individuals clearly no longer find the Victoria Hotel and the Peninsula Hotel appealing.
This is also one of the reasons why Li Jun is holding a banquet tonight: to take advantage of the defeat of the foreigners and to advertise for the Mengzhi Club.
The dinner party that night was a great success, with both hosts and guests thoroughly enjoying themselves.
"Ah Jun, I can tell that a lot of money was spent on this place. We now have a new option for tea."
Before leaving Mengzhi Club, Lei Yingdong and Bao Yugang sought out Li Jun once again.
"It is an honor for Mengzhi Club that Mr. Lei and Mr. Bao would grace us with their presence."
Li Jun didn't take Lei Yingdong's words to heart at all.
These bigwigs are having tea to discuss business, not for entertainment. The most important thing is privacy and security. It would be strange if people like Lei Yingdong and Bao Yugang came to Mengzhi Club for tea.
"Ah Jun, I really mean it. If you have time, come find me for tea. Director Xu from the north is very interested in you and would like to meet with you and have a good chat."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lei Yingdong spoke in a low voice.
"Okay, Mr. Lei, I understand what you mean."
Upon hearing Lei Yingdong's words, Li Jun's eyes flickered, he nodded slightly, and slowly said.
“Ah Jun, come over for tea sometime. I’ve heard you have a very successful business in Southeast Asia. Perhaps we could collaborate.”
After Li Jun finished talking with Lei Yingdong, Bao Yugang looked at Li Jun and said with a smile.
As the "world's shipping magnate," Bao Yugang clearly had some understanding of things in Southeast Asia.
"Yes, Mr. Bao, I will definitely trouble you then."
Li Jun replied with a smile.
After exchanging pleasantries with Lei Yingdong and Bao Yugang, Li Jun personally saw them to the door. At this moment, Xu Huayan, Zhang Zhiyong, and Deng Wei, who had been waiting for a long time, walked up to Li Jun and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, we'll take our leave too."
"Mr. Xu, Brother Zhiyong, Uncle Deng, you three can rest assured. I will definitely give you what I promised your gang. You can leave in peace."
Li Jun smiled and said to Xu Huayan, Zhang Zhiyong, and Deng Wei.
"..."
Although Li Jun's words sounded a bit awkward, Xu Huayan, Zhang Zhiyong, and Deng Wei didn't suspect anything. After saying goodbye to Li Jun again, they left the Mengzhi Club.
After seeing the three off, Li Jun returned to the small room on the fourth floor.
“Brother Jun, Liu Jianming just spoke to me on the phone. The police force has officially begun implementing Operation New World.”
After Li Jun entered the room, Ahua immediately began to report.
"Ah."
Li Jun nodded slightly and said calmly, "Now, let's wait and see what happens."
