Chapter 978 Getting News from Liu Jianming
Watson was thinking about the various possibilities between Hongxing and Dongxing in the office. Suddenly, he received a text message on his mobile phone with only four words on it.
【See you at the old place】
After seeing this, Watson didn't hesitate at all. He immediately stood up, walked out of the office and shouted, "Ah Ren, I'm going to go out for a while. You continue to monitor the movements of Hongxing and Dongxing. It's almost time to release them."
"Before they leave, tell them that if they dare to start a fight in the city again, they won't be able to leave so easily."
Chen Yongren nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Hua."
Watson drove alone towards the beach. In order to prevent being followed, he circled the road several times. After finding that no one was following him, he went to the beach.
At this time, Liu Jianming was already waiting here. He looked at the sea in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.
Watson parked the car and walked over to him. When he got to his side, he asked, "What happened? Why are you so anxious to see me?"
Liu Jianming said solemnly, "Do you know Zeng Xiangrong?"
Watson thought quickly in his mind. After a moment, he frowned and said, "Senior Assistant Director Zeng Xiangrong?"
Liu Jianming nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, it's him. The Political Department was disbanded, and I didn't expect that he would be the one who benefited the most. I just found out that he actually recruited most of the members of the Political Department and placed them in various departments of the police force."
"It must have been because of Li Wenbin that he didn't approach me right away. Now that he's finished staffing up, he finally approached me and asked me to work for him."
"What?" Watson said in surprise, "He actually asked you to work for him." Then he shouted angrily, "Who the hell is he? How dare he ask you to work for him?"
Liu Jianming said helplessly, "Don't underestimate him. In order to recruit me, he said a lot of things, including that he would be promoted to Deputy Director of Management next month, plus the political department members he had planted in various departments, and the influence he previously had in the management division."
"When all these are added together, they are no weaker than you. Even Huang Bingyao can't arbitrarily deal with a deputy director of management."
"You could even say he's already ahead of you and Li Wenbin. You're still vying for the position of Deputy Director of Operations, while he's already taken the position of Deputy Director of Management and is eyeing the top spot in the police force."
After a pause, he continued, "He also told me one piece of news. That is, the top leaders of Hong Kong Island have some opinions about Wong Bing-yiu. It seems that Wong Bing-yiu had contradicted them before and took some actions without authorization."
Thinking of the martial law issued by Huang Bingyao before, Watson couldn't help but gritted his teeth. Damn, is this a revenge?
After taking a deep breath, Watson said in a deep voice: "Okay, I understand."
Liu Jianming looked at Watson and said slowly, "Do you think I should join Zeng Xiangrong's side?"
Watson raised his head, but didn't speak immediately. Instead, he thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "No need. I've already wronged you by asking you to be an undercover agent with Li Wenbin. If I ask you to secretly join Zeng Xiangrong, the pressure on you will be too great."
"And right now, Li Wenbin is still in the dark. He was the one who led the disbanding of the Political Department, but Zeng Xiangrong got his piece of the pie. Plus, he's still trying to poach his people. Li Wenbin won't let this go."
"Then, when you return, you can directly announce this to Li Wenbin and ask him to help you. After this incident, your standing in Li Wenbin's heart will also be improved."
"You don't need to pass on any information to me. Just follow Li Wenbin obediently. He has his father's connections, so his career in the police force will be smooth. You can just ride on his coattails."
Liu Jianming smiled and said, "Okay, I understand what you mean. This will indeed make things much easier. I will lend you a helping hand at the critical moment."
Watson smiled and put his arm around Liu Jianming's shoulders and said, "I asked you to follow me, but you insisted on going undercover. The pressure is already huge. If I ask you to go triple undercover, I'm not even human anymore."
"Luckily, my plan is going smoothly. When I become the Deputy Director of Operations, you should come back and join me. By then, there'll be no need for undercover work. It'll all be about real strength."
Liu Jianming smiled but said nothing. Seeing this, Watson couldn't help but put his arm around his shoulders and pushed him, saying, "What do you mean? You don't want to be an undercover agent again, do you?"
Hearing this, Liu Jianming smiled and said, "How is that possible? When you become the deputy director of operations, Li Wenbin will probably give up. When he gives up, I will definitely come to help you."
"Okay, that's what you said. Don't go back on your word. I'm really short of manpower right now," Watson said with emotion. "The Hongxing and Dongxing factions are at loggerheads right now because of the death of their respective leaders. A fight is imminent. I've been incredibly busy lately!"
"Ah Ren, Wen Zhan, Ma Jun and others work overtime every day, fearing that they might accidentally cause a major disturbance."
Liu Jianming said solemnly, "Well, you do have to be careful. I heard Li Wenbin and Kuang Zhili talk privately about this. They don't seem optimistic about your ability to stabilize these societies. They're all waiting to see you make a fool of yourself."
"Hung Hing and Tung Sing have been able to exist in Hong Kong for so many years, their influence can be said to be deeply entrenched. You must be careful."
Watson nodded and said, "Don't worry, I understand. These two societies have tens of thousands of members, so of course we have to be careful with them."
"Okay, let's go back. If we stay here for too long, Li Wenbin will become suspicious. Even though he comes from an operational background, he is very cautious and meticulous. You have to be careful too."
As he spoke, Watson patted Liu Jianming on the shoulder.
Liu Jianming nodded and said, "Don't worry, I haven't passed on any information. He still trusts me quite a bit at the moment. When I go back and tell him about Zeng Xiangrong, I'm sure he'll trust me even more."
"Come on, try to surpass Kuang Zhili and become the number one general under Li Wenbin, hahaha!" Watson said with a smile.
There is no room for regret now. Liu Jianming can only continue to move forward. It is true that following Li Wenbin, the speed of promotion will definitely not be slower than following Watson, and may even be faster.
After all, Watson has too many people to take care of, and on Li Wenbin's side, there is only Kuang Zhili and Liu Jianming competing. The others are not as smart as Zhou Xingxing, so they are not a concern.
