After ten years undercover, I'm giving up.

Charles's tone, on the contrary, was so calm it was unsettling.

"William, are you afraid to leave the police station now?"

William's throat tightened, and he stammered, "I...I didn't..."

Charles's voice remained gentle: "Then how about I help you find another place? How about the North New Territories?"

William instantly grasped at a lifeline, almost blurting out excitedly, "Great! Great!"

Whoever wants to sit in the hole as the Director of the West Kowloon Department can sit there!

"You're dreaming!"

Charles exploded the next second, his voice suddenly rising in pitch, startling William so much that he trembled.

"William, you've completely disgraced the Royal Canadian Mounted Police!"

"Take another look at Ma Zhichao!"

"I transferred you to West Kowloon to keep him in check, not to stand there as a foil for him, to make him look like a hero!"

"William, I'm giving you one last chance."

"I want to see you walking out of the West Kowloon Headquarters on the TV news before 7 a.m. tomorrow morning."

"Otherwise, you can get out of the police force yourself!"

Click.

The call was abruptly disconnected.

William gripped the receiver, his face alternating between pale and flushed.

Wronged.

anger.

unwilling.

suffocated.

In the end, all the emotions turned into a long sigh.

"Fine, I'll go!"

He immediately called a friend and asked him to arrange for a group of elite retired soldiers to come and secretly take care of his safety.

Although this amount of money is definitely not cheap.

But it's worth it to save your life!

William then contacted some high-ranking officials he knew at ATV and asked them to send reporters to film him leaving the police station the next day.

……

……

Nine o'clock in the evening.

With five unseen bodyguards providing covert protection, William finally left the West Kowloon Headquarters.

He first went back to the villa openly and honestly.

Afterwards, they quietly moved to another secret residence.

The news spread like wildfire throughout the West Kowloon Headquarters.

Many police officers smiled knowingly upon hearing this.

"Chief Turtle, you've finally decided to stick your head out."

At 10 p.m., ATV News officially broadcast footage of William leaving the police station.

The citizens all found it strange after seeing it.

"Oh, you're finally out?"

"He has some guts, otherwise I would have despised him for the rest of my life."

"Haha, this is probably because he was scolded by Inspector Ma."

……

……

Tsim Sha Tsui, Hillwood Road.

This place is known as a food street.

Even at 10 p.m., the street was still bustling with activity.

One by one, the late-night food stalls were set up.

The piping hot, fresh pork offal congee was steaming.

Rice noodles, soup noodles, and roast duck rice noodles were served one after another.

The aroma of the Typhoon Shelter-style stir-fried crab is irresistible.

Salt and pepper mantis shrimp have a crispy and fragrant shell.

The spicy stir-fried clams were cooked until they were glistening with red oil.

Inside the hot pot restaurant, plates of fresh ingredients filled the tables, the soup pot bubbled and boiled, and the restaurant was bustling with noise.

Three or five friends sit around a table, drinking beer, eating, and chatting, their lively atmosphere almost heating up the whole street.

Ma Zhichao, accompanied by Tian Yangsheng and Tian Yangsi, sat in a pork offal congee stall, slowly sipping his congee and ordering a plate of stir-fried beef noodles.

"Officer Ma!"

"It really is Inspector Ma!"

"Wow, I actually met you in person tonight! What an honor!"

"Officer Ma, can we take a photo together?"

"Officer Ma, you're a real man!"

Passersby who recognize Ma Zhichao almost always greet him warmly.

As an outstanding public servant, Ma Zhichao naturally acted with exceptional friendliness, his smile was gentle, and he welcomed everyone who came, quickly becoming one of the people around him.

The atmosphere at the scene became increasingly lively.

Because Ma Zhichao ate a late-night snack here, the pork offal congee stall became an instant hit, with long queues forming outside.

It happened to be 10 p.m.

ATV News began broadcasting reports of William leaving the police station.

The surrounding citizens burst into laughter upon seeing this.

"It feels like he was forced into this situation by Inspector Ma."

"That's right, Inspector Ma really has guts, daring to speak his mind and curse. I'm impressed!"

"A toast to the brave Sir Ma!"

"Cheers to Officer Ma!"

"Cheers to Officer Ma!"

The atmosphere grew increasingly heated.

Reporters from newspapers and television stations all around also raised their cameras and video cameras to capture the scene.

You don't even need to think too long about the title.

"Officer Ma's approachable late-night snacks: Police and the people are one family"

"A chance encounter with Inspector Ma on the mountain road draws a large crowd of enthusiastic onlookers."

Ma Zhichao is now the key to massive online traffic.

As long as he's in the news, viewership is guaranteed, and newspapers will definitely sell well.

Just then—

Brake!

A bread truck braked suddenly and stopped in front of the late-night food stall.

The car door was flung open with a whoosh.

A burly man jumped down.

two.

Three.

ten.

Thirteen.

Sixteen.

Seventeen!

Seventeen burly men were squeezed out of a tiny bread cart.

These people, armed with knives, guns, and iron bars, stormed into the pork offal porridge stall with menacing intent.

"Get out of here!"

"Get out of the way!"

"Old man, get out of here!"

They rampaged through the crowd, overturning tables and chairs and sending bowls and chopsticks flying, turning the scene into chaos in an instant.

Soon, the seventeen burly men rushed to the small table at the back of the night market stall and grabbed a long-haired youth who was terrified and about to run away.

"You idiot, where do you think you're going?"

"You've followed Brother Crow, and you still dare to say you're quitting?"

"Eat shit!"

Three burly men grabbed the long-haired man by his hair and limbs, dragging him all the way to the side of the road.

At that moment, the passenger door of the van opened.

A pair of long legs in leather boots landed on the ground first.

Immediately afterwards, a shirtless man with flamboyant blond hair and a fierce expression got out of the car.

crow.

Chen Tianxiong.

One of the Five Tigers of Tung Sing!

The crow slowly walked up to the long-haired man, its eyes fierce as if it wanted to devour him.

"Speak up, why did you betray me?"

Long Hair was so frightened that tears streamed down his face. He cried out, "Big Brother, I regret it! I really don't want to be involved in the underworld anymore, and I don't want to continue with Tung Sing!"

"Big brother, please let me go!"

"I don't want to end up like Xiao Sang, taking the blame for you and serving five years in prison, only to get nothing in resettlement money after I got out!"

"And then there's Big Guy. He fought with Hung Hing in Shek Kip Mei. His hands and feet were all cut off, his eyes were gouged out, and his intestines spilled out. In the end, his body was thrown into a stinking ditch, and no one could recognize him..."

"Alpaca!"

The crow's eyes hardened, and it kicked out.

Bang!

The kick landed squarely on the long-haired man's head, deforming half of his face.

"Are you begging me, or are you trying to scare me?"

"You swore an oath before Lord Guan that you'd follow me for life!"

"Now you think you can just walk away because you don't want to continue?"

"Aaaaaahh ...

The crow cawed wildly, startling the long-haired man who scrambled backward.

"Have these underlings become so disloyal these days?"

"Come and go as you please?"

Bang!

Another kick.

Longhair was kicked more than a meter away, crashing into a nearby table.

slam-la-

Tableware, hot porridge, seafood, and barbecue were spilled all over the floor.

The customers at the pork offal congee stall moved with astonishing uniformity, calmly getting up and quickly retreating.

The reporters, on the other hand, were completely excited.

The camera then focused on the crow.

A moment later, his gaze swept over Ma Zhichao, who was still calmly sitting at the table drinking tea.

The real show is about to begin!

"Ah! I'll fight you to the death!"

Driven to the brink of despair, Longhair, in a fit of terror, snapped and grabbed a knife, stabbing at Crow.

But the crow's men reacted quickly, rushing forward to pin him down and slamming him onto a table.

"ha……"

The crow let out a strange laugh and slowly pulled a large machete from the car.

"You dare to stab me with a knife?"

"If I don't enforce family rules today, how am I supposed to lead people in the future?"

After saying that, he raised the machete with both hands and was about to chop down hard on the long-haired man's hand.

Just then—
