Game within game: chess player

Zeng Weixiong knew that he was going to see Ye Fang today, and he had to see Ye Fang for two reasons.

The first reason is that Hai Wenshan told Zeng Weixiong in a rather obscure language that Ye Fang has an unusual relationship with him. In other words, Hai Wenshan knew the details about Ye Fang, although his side was not both nominally and actually. It belongs to any department in the mainland, but in its affairs work it is often inextricably linked with all levels of the mainland, especially in the police department.

It doesn't seem to be subordinate, but the mainland has considerable say in police management, especially at the level of Haiwenshan, where leaders have very heavy suggestions on the appointment and decision-making of some senior officials. Therefore, people like Zeng Weixiong could turn a blind eye to the officials from mainland provinces, cities and localities, but they had to pay attention to Haiwenshan's words, and even resolutely implement and implement them.

Every conversation between Hai Wenshan and Zeng Weixiong seemed to be out of public interest, but Zeng Weixiong tasted another meaning from it, that is, you must try your best to meet Ye Fang's needs on your territory, and ensure that Ye Fang of absolute safety.

This tells Zeng Weixiong that Ye Fang's identity and background are very special.

The second reason is that the two chief officers of the O Department will retire due to age. Therefore, the entire O Department will be replaced by two chief officers for the first time, a chief superintendent and a senior superintendent. For these two positions, Zeng Weixiong has absolute competitive capital and ability. As the department with the largest O record, Zeng Weixiong's promotion to department chief can be said to be logical. It's just that there are many people coveting this position within the police force. Whether it is to be transferred from other departments or promoted from within, it is now at the most delicate moment of internal power.

Now Zeng Weixiong urgently needs a strong external force to break this deadlock. At this time, Ye Fang appears. With the appearance of Ye Fang, Zeng Weixiong will definitely have a chance to establish a relationship with Haiwenshan. Hai Wenshan's last sentence also tactfully expressed that if Zeng Weixiong handles this matter well, then the training courses for police managers in the mainland will be opened to him in April. By then, with this resume, Zeng Weixiong will have enough capital to compete for O Remember the post of Chief Superintendent.

Zeng Weixiong relied on his flexible and resourceful mind to seize every opportunity for promotion, and finally won the game. He eventually served as Chief Superintendent of O Ji until 2002, and successfully climbed to the top ten years later, becoming a veritable police officer. Of course, this is a later story.

After receiving the call from Zeng Weixiong, Liu Yongcheng looked up at Ye Fang and said slowly, "My boss wants to see you."

Ye Fang showed a smile as I expected, drank the last sip of milk tea, and said, "Then let's leave now."

"Okay." Although Liu Yongcheng's eyes were full of doubts, he got up and walked out with Ye Fang.

As soon as Ye Fang walked out of the milk tea shop, four black business cars parked slowly on the side of the road. Liu Yongcheng saw this scene and said, "Do you always take so many people with you when you go out?"

"There are many people who want to cause trouble for me, especially at night." Ye Fang said, then asked Liu Yongcheng to get in the car, and then the motorcade slowly drove towards Zeng Weixiong's home.

On the way, Ye Fang asked about Zeng Weixiong's basic situation, and Liu Yongcheng told Ye Fang about Zeng Weixiong's situation. At the same time, Ye Fang also learned in detail about the composition of various departments of the Hong Kong police, especially the internal organizational structure of O. As for the internal organizational structure of O Ji, Ye Fang came from the mainland after all, so Ye Fang asked in detail, and Liu Yongcheng patiently explained to Ye Fang.

Tsang Wei-hsiung's home lives in Central. According to mainland calculations, it is about 150 square meters. Although it is not a villa, this area is considered a luxury home in Hong Kong.

Arriving downstairs at Zeng Weixiong's house, Liu Yongcheng called Zeng Weixiong. Zeng Weixiong told Liu Yongcheng that there was a small pavilion downstairs and that he would go down in a while.

Soon Zeng Weixiong walked into the pavilion. In Ye Fang's eyes, Zeng Weixiong was a typical middle-aged greasy man. He was slightly chubby, wearing superintendent glasses and slightly bald. He looked like the bad uncle next door.

Liu Yongcheng gave a brief introduction to Ye Fang and Zeng Weixiong. When Ye Fang looked at Zeng Weixiong, Zeng Weixiong was also looking at Ye Fang. It can be said that I am very curious about the young man in front of me, Zeng Weixiong. I don’t know what kind of background he has that makes Hai Wenshan entrust him with such an entrustment.

Zeng Weixiong, Ye Fang and Liu Yongcheng were sitting in the pavilion. The superintendent was the boundary between officials and civil servants, especially when they reached the rank of superintendent or above, it was an important dividing line. Those above the level of superintendent are purely official and are high-ranking officials in the police force. Those below the level of chief inspector are essentially doing work, so Liu Yongcheng is a little reserved in front of Zeng Weixiong, and Zeng Weixiong and Ye Fang talk more often.

Zeng Weixiong briefly understood what happened and asked Dai Quan and the others in detail about the current basic situation. Liu Yongcheng reported to Zeng Weixiong based on the situation he had grasped.

After hearing the miserable situation of Dai Quan and the others, Zeng Weixiong laughed and said, "We have invited these three people to the police station countless times, but in the end they were released because there was insufficient evidence. We suffered such a big loss this time, I think. I think it’s quite refreshing.”

Liu Yongcheng on the side glanced at Zeng Weixiong with a strange look, thinking that Zeng Weixiong, who was usually upright and strict in enforcing the law, had never said this. What happened today.

"It's impossible for them to hand over that batch of goods to Jixiong. I guess you must have found that batch of goods." Zeng Weixiong looked at Ye Fang and asked.

Ye Fang nodded and said, "Of course I didn't expect them to hand over the goods themselves, so I have already picked up the goods."

Zeng Weixiong nodded as if he had expected it, and continued to ask, "Can I ask what this batch of goods is?" After saying this, Zeng Weixiong immediately added, "Of course, if you can't tell me, just take it as my Never asked."

"There's nothing that can't be said. It's not a banned product, it's just a batch of equipment." Ye Fang replied.

When Ye Fang finished saying this, Liu Yongcheng's eyes were immediately full of doubts. He didn't understand what kind of equipment had to come in through smuggling, and why it couldn't come in through normal customs declaration. But after listening to Ye Fang's words, Zeng Weixiong vaguely guessed the reason why this batch of equipment could not enter the mainland through normal ports, that is, it was probably a batch of controlled equipment.

Thinking of this aspect, Zeng Weixiong could probably guess why Haiwenshan was involved in this incident. It was obvious that Ye Fang's mission was to transport this batch of equipment to the mainland.

"What do you need my help with?" Zeng Weixiong asked directly.

Zeng Weixiong's words shocked Liu Yongcheng. Before he could understand the whole incident, Zeng Weixiong had started to side with Ye Fang. Although Liu Yongcheng had many questions in his mind, he was very wise and did not ask at this time.

"Two things. The first one is that another batch of equipment is now detained at the customs. I need to raise it. The second thing is that this batch of equipment is detained in Hong Kong. It is a person named Li William who is behind the scenes. I need to know the detailed information of this person." Ye Fang said solemnly.

"Are there any clues you can provide about the second matter? It is not easy to find this person in a short time even if you rely on the police with just a name." Zeng Weixiong further said.

"This batch of goods was picked up from Dai Quan by Yuntong Logistics under the Jiadaoli Group. Is there anything we can find out by following this clue?" Ye Fang said.

Zeng Weixiong nodded, pointed at Liu Yongcheng and said, "A-Cheng, write down these clues and tell Mr. Ye if you find any information."

"Yes, sir!"

"You go over there and wait for me first. Mr. Ye and I still have something to discuss." Zeng Weixiong said.

Liu Yongcheng nodded, turned and left, standing not far away, lighting a cigarette and waiting for Zeng Weixiong to finish talking to Ye Fang.

"The second thing shouldn't be difficult, but the first thing..." Zeng Weixiong shook his head and said, "There will be no results in talking to the customs about this matter at my level. After all, they are two departments, and there are Can you understand that we are easily targeted by the Independent Commission Against Corruption?"

"I understand." Ye Fang replied.

"If we start from the police department to solve these two matters, we need at least someone at the level of deputy director or above to come forward, and we need a sufficient reason, otherwise the customs will not let him go. Zeng Junhua is extremely difficult to deal with, although We were a family 500 years ago, but when dealing with him, to put it bluntly, even if he is the Commissioner of Police, he may not give him face. So I don’t necessarily guarantee that this matter will happen." Zeng Weixiong said truthfully.

"Is there any other way?" Ye Fang asked.

"The higher the level, the less likely it is for people to come forward. The higher the level, the less courageous they will be. Especially in Hong Kong, a scandal may cause a senior official to step down immediately, so the higher the level, the more cautious the leader will be. , be wise and protect yourself." Zeng Weixiong said.

"You mean to start from the bottom?" Ye Fang asked.

Zeng Weixiong nodded and continued, "According to what you said, someone is behind this matter, so it is very likely that there is an agreement under the table. If we can start with the relevant customs officials who are handling the case, there may not be a chance of a comeback. If this batch of equipment is not filed and sealed, it is possible that the customs officials who investigate and deal with this batch of equipment will store this batch of equipment separately and may be used for some kind of transaction. If these equipment are filed and sealed, it will be more troublesome and require It will be difficult to transport this batch of equipment.”

"Is it okay if I steal it out?" Ye Fang suddenly asked.

"No!" Zeng Weixiong quickly stopped Ye Fang's crazy idea and said, "Customs is a semi-military department. If you want to transport several tons of goods from there, do you think those customs security guards are just a living wage? This method won’t work! If there is a conflict, the consequences will be unpredictable.”

"Okay, this matter is up to you." Ye Fang said.

"I will ask Cheng to give you the information on the customs officials who investigated and dealt with this batch of equipment. As long as no one is killed, I believe you will be able to get the information you want. The Deputy Director of Operations of the Police Department has taken me with him before, and I will Listen to his opinion privately and I will inform you of further information," Zeng Weixiong said.

"Thank you! After talking to you, I will know where to start." Ye Fang knew that Zeng Weixiong was so cooperative because Haiwenshan had enough respect.

"This is my phone number. If you have any questions, please call me directly." Zeng Weixiong handed Ye Fang a business card, and Ye Fang took a look at it and kept it in his arms.

"This is my phone number in Beijing. If you have the opportunity to come to Beijing in the future, I can help you as a landlord." Ye Fang also handed Zeng Weixiong a business card with Ye Fang's name and phone number written on it.

"Okay, definitely." Zeng Weixiong took Ye Fang's business card with a smile.

"If you need me to do anything, you can just ask." Ye Fang knew that Zeng Weixiong had provided a lot of help in transporting equipment from customs, and Ye Fang still understood the principle of reciprocity.

"What are you going to do with Dai Quan and the others? Aren't you worried that 14K will retaliate against you?" Zeng Weixiong asked.

"Sir Zeng, can we talk directly if we have something to say?" Ye Fang asked directly.

"In the past two years, there have been rampant activities of social organizations, including drug trading, arms trading, money laundering, and armed fights between social groups. Citizens have complained a lot about the police. The police have always been committed to the collaborative handling of cases by multiple departments. We have intensified the investigation and handling of cases, but the effect is not very obvious. There are many reasons for this. Nowadays, societies and the police often have you among them, and you among me. In the past two months alone, we have investigated and dealt with more than 50 illegal police officers. There are more and more violent groups being suppressed, and the police are already exhausted to deal with them."

"But I was inspired by the incident between you and 14K, and I have some inspiration. In troubled times, using heavy scriptures, and using violence to stop violence may be a last resort choice in this special period, but it is also the most effective choice. Do you know , although Dai Quan and Ji Xiong were involved in the incident only one day ago, the streets of Yuen Long tonight are very quiet, all large and small social organizations are dormant, and social security has been greatly improved."

"Although this is only temporary, it also shows me another way to solve this kind of problem, which may achieve unexpected results in a short period of time."

After listening to Zeng Weixiong's eloquent words, Ye Fang vaguely guessed what Zeng Weixiong wanted to do.

"You don't want me to wipe out these more than [-] social organizations, right?" Ye Fang said with a smile, "If you give me a Flying Tiger Team of about a thousand people, I think I can do it. Arrived. But there are only twenty of us, we just have enough to protect ourselves."

"Mr. Ye, you are too humble. Your bodyguards are better than the members of the Flying Tigers." Zeng Weixiong said while looking at Su Long and Leng Chuan who were on guard not far away.

Ye Fang smiled and did not refute, but asked directly, "Just tell me, what do you need me to do?"

"O Ji has a backlog of more than a hundred major and vicious cases from various major societies. It is very likely that these cases will never be investigated through normal police channels and become unsolved cases. I would like to select a few cases with great impact and egregious nature to hand over. Here you go, use your methods to find out the case clearly and hand it over to the police. Then the police will use their own methods to turn the case into a solid case. The procedures that the police need to go through to handle this kind of case are too complicated, and many methods are not convenient to use. , but you are not subject to this restriction." Zeng Weixiong said bluntly.

"Is there anything else?" Ye Fang continued to ask.

"Continue to demand goods or compensation of equivalent value from 14K, and then take the opportunity to disintegrate the command system of the 14K association. If possible, turn all the eldest brothers of the associations below 14K into second chickens. This can disintegrate the 14K association from another angle. "Zeng Weixiong said.

"Aren't you afraid that if 14K is disintegrated, 15K, 16K and other underworld organizations will rise? Or maybe I will become the largest organization accidentally." Ye Fang asked with a smile.

"Others may do it, but you won't." Zeng Weixiong gave Ye Fang a deep look and continued, "If you disintegrate the 14K command system, these societies will become a mass of loose sand. At that time, I will plan an anti-gang operation. Catch them all in one fell swoop, we can’t let them just get bigger.”

Ye Fang thought for a while and said, "Okay, I promise you! But I have a request."

"Say it!" Zeng Weixiong said.

"I need to transfer people from the mainland!"
