Hong Kong film: Drowned by the Chiang family? I launch a massive attack on Hung Hing.

Li Wenbin's voice came through the receiver.

"Li Wenbin? Minister Li!"

Upon hearing Li Wenbin's voice, Chen Taoran was slightly taken aback, then slowly said, "Minister Li, what brings you here now?"

"Director Chen, do you have a moment now? Let's find a safe and confidential place to talk?"

On the other end of the phone, Li Wenbin asked with a smile.

"..."

Upon hearing Li Wenbin's words, Chen Taoran's eyes flickered slightly. After pondering for more than ten seconds, he finally spoke, "Minister Li, I'll be waiting for you at the Jockey Club."

For a high-ranking foreigner like Chan To-yin, if he were to choose the safest and most secretive place on Hong Kong Island, the Governor's Residence would only rank second.

The number one spot can only go to the Jockey Club.

As the premier club on Hong Kong Island, the Jockey Club's members are almost exclusively wealthy individuals or high-ranking foreign executives.

Inside the Jockey Club, whatever members do is guaranteed to be kept absolutely secret. Unless the Jockey Club chairman gives his approval, even the political department can't find any clues here.

Of course, as a club founded by foreigners, the chairman of the Jockey Club would not be so disrespectful to the Special Branch. The Special Branch would definitely be the first to know about any little secrets that are detrimental to Hong Kong Island.

But for foreigners, this is the perfect 'safe house'.

Therefore, Chen Taoran immediately thought of meeting Li Wenbin at this place.

"Okay, Director Chen, see you in half an hour."

After saying that, Li Wenbin hung up the phone immediately.

'Beep beep beep~'

Hearing the busy tone from the receiver, Chen Taoran's expression softened considerably. The fact that Li Wenbin wanted to meet with him at this time was enough for Chen Taoran to guess many things.

After holding the microphone and pondering for a few seconds, Chen Taoran put down the microphone, then quickly picked it up again and dialed a number.

"I am Chen Taoran, prepare the car immediately."

After the call connected, Chen Taoran immediately spoke.

On the other end of the phone, Li Wenbin did not rush to leave after hanging up. Instead, he looked at Liang Wenfeng sitting in front of him and said with a smile, "Old Liang, this time we really have to thank your people. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have had the confidence to meet with Chen Taoran so soon."

"To be honest, Lao Li, I don't really recommend that you meet with Chen Taoran so soon. Letting the foreigner wait a bit will allow us to negotiate better terms."

Liang Wenfeng said slowly.

“Old Liang, as I told you last night, the foreigners threw a bunch of inexplicable evidence at me for no reason and wanted me to arrest Li Jun. I suspect that the foreigners may want to ambush Li Jun at the entrance of the Hong Kong Island headquarters half a year ago and send someone to kill Li Jun.”

"That's why I'm so eager to cooperate with the foreigners. Think about it, if the foreigners can really take down Li Jun, then for us..."

Li Wenbin's words were interrupted by Liang Wenfeng: "Old Li, have you ever thought about this? If Li Jun dies, and there's no one to suppress the foreigners, can you and the rest of us really fight against them?"

Liang Wenfeng believes that Li Wenbin may have lost his mind due to being shocked by Li Jun. They were able to force the foreigners to make concessions and relinquish control of the police force. These people were just icing on the cake. The real backbone was Li Jun, and only Li Jun could force the foreigners to make concessions.

Without Li Jun restraining the foreigners, Liang Wenfeng doesn't believe Li Wenbin can take over; it's highly likely the foreigners will make a comeback.

"Old Liang, Li Jun is dead, but his men are still alive. With such a group of fearless subordinates avenging Li Jun, do you think the foreigners still have the mind to attack us?"

Li Wenbin said to Liang Wenfeng with a smile.

"But……"

“Old Liang, I know you want to say that the risk is too great. Whether Li Jun is alive or dead, the risk we are taking is too great. But I have to tell you, this is our best chance.”

"Hey!"

Liang Wenfeng wanted to say something more to persuade him, but Li Wenbin interrupted him directly. He sighed deeply and continued, "Old Liang, you either seize this opportunity and take a gamble, or you simply submit to Li Jun and the police force will respect Li Jun from now on. Now tell me, what should I choose?"

"..."

After hearing Li Wenbin's words, Liang Wenfeng remained silent for a long time before looking at Li Wenbin and saying somewhat dejectedly, "Old Li, has the situation really deteriorated to this extent?"

Li Wenbin didn't speak, but simply nodded slowly.

"Hey!"

This time, it was Liang Wenfeng's turn to sigh deeply. "Old Li, we thought that after driving away the foreigners, our good days would begin, but then Li Jun came along."

At this point, Liang Wenfeng looked at Li Wenbin and said slowly, "Old Li, you are our leader, and I trust your choice."

"Thank you, Lao Liang."

Li Wenbin looked at Liang Wenfeng with a slight smile on his face.

After half an hour.

Happy Valley, Jockey Club.

Led by a waiter, Li Wenbin arrived at the private room where Chen Taoran was.

After the waiter closed the door to the private room, Li Wenbin spoke directly: "Director Chen, I bet you didn't sleep well last night, did you?"

"Minister Li, I don't think you came all this way just to see me because you're concerned about my sleep problems, are you?"

Chen Taoran's expression was displeased as he spoke indifferently.

"Director Chen, I didn't mean to make fun of you. To be honest, I didn't sleep a wink last night either."

Li Wenbin looked at Chen Taoran and said slowly.

"Oh? Minister Li, I thought you, as the victor, should be able to have a sweet dream."

Chen Taoran smiled slightly and said calmly.

"Director Chan, to you Americans, the Hong Kong police force has changed, but to me, it makes no difference. It's just that the people above me have changed from you foreigners to Chinese."

Li Wenbin said slowly.

"Minister Li, the Chinese person you mentioned, are you referring to Li Jun?"

Chen Taoran's expression shifted slightly, and he asked casually.

"Director Chen, I wonder if you have ever read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms of China?"

Li Wenbin did not answer Chen Taoran's question, but instead asked him a question in return.

“I’m sorry, Minister Li, I’ve only heard this story from others, but I haven’t seen it myself.”

Chen Taoran answered.

"Hehe, Director Chen, I recommend that you take a look if you have time. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there are three kingdoms. Wei is the strongest. Only when Shu and Wu join forces can they contend with Wei."

"The situation in the Hong Kong Island police force is the same. Previously, you Americans were like the State of Wei, and we Chinese had to join forces to fight against you. But now it's different. You Americans and I are now like the States of Shu and Wu. Now it's our turn to join forces to fight against the State of Wei."

Li Wenbin looked at Chen Taoran and spoke slowly, word by word.

"Minister Li, what you said makes a lot of sense, but I'm more concerned about what we can do together, or in other words, what can I gain by cooperating with you?"

Chen Taoran roughly understood what Li Wenbin meant, but it was obvious that he wasn't interested in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so he looked directly at Li Wenbin and asked with a smile.

"Director Chen, I know you Americans want to get rid of Li Jun, I can help you."

Li Wenbin said calmly.

"Minister Li, please tell us how you plan to help us?"

Upon hearing Li Wenbin's words, Chen Taoran's eyes lit up. She looked up at Li Wenbin and asked with a smile.

"Director Chen, you should have seen the Criminal Intelligence Division's 'New World' plan, right?"

Li Wenbin also looked at Chen Taoran and asked him a question in return.

"I know."

As the deputy director in charge of operations, Chen Taoran naturally knew about the 'New World' project.

"Director Chen, the 'New World' plan was successfully implemented last night. I plan to use the three major triads, Sun Kee, Number Gang, and Wo Luen Shing, as leverage to invite Li Jun out for negotiations. I don't need to teach you Americans what to do then, do I?"

Li Wenbin said quietly.

·· ······ 0

"Minister Li, I'm very curious, why did you do this?"

Chen Taoran looked at Li Wenbin and asked with some curiosity.

"Director Chen, you wouldn't understand why I'm doing this, and I don't need you to tell me whether you'll cooperate with me. In short, I'll meet Li Jun at the Yuet Tung Restaurant in Central at noon. Everything else is up to you foreigners to decide."

Li Wenbin didn't waste any more words with Chen Taoran. He knew very well that foreigners like Chen Taoran simply didn't understand what ideals and beliefs were.

What Li Wenbin wants is the independence and autonomy of the Hong Kong Island Police Force; he is willing to give anything to achieve this ideal…

"..."

Upon hearing Li Wenbin's words, Chen Taoran gave Li Wenbin a deep look, and then slowly said, "Okay, Minister Li, I understand what you mean."

"Director Chen, I'll take my leave now."

Li Wenbin didn't say a word more and got up to leave.

Watching Li Wenbin's departing figure, Chen Taoran picked up the phone and dialed a number.

“Governor, it’s me, Chen Taoran. There’s something I need to report to you immediately…”

After the call connected, Chen Taoran immediately spoke.
