After ten years undercover, I'm giving up.

They actually managed to get Teacher Li and Johnny to cooperate with them!

This is amazing!

Hong Jipeng added at the end: "This time the scale is larger and there will be more opponents, so the weapon configuration needs to be upgraded to a higher level."

"The number of bombs will also increase."

"Arms budget, five million, any problem?"

Without a second thought, Da Dong nodded immediately: "No problem!"

……

……

10 PM.

Fang Siwei's home.

Ma Zhichao sat leaning against the headboard, his eyes slightly vacant, his face bearing an expression that was absurdly profound.

Fang Siwei, who had just been tormented, looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Brother Chao, what are you thinking about now?"

Ma Zhichao said solemnly, "Don't disturb me. I am learning from the ancient sages."

As the ancients said, one should examine oneself three times a day.

And after each incident, he must reflect on it three times.

First, am I handsome?

Second, am I strong?

Third, am I awesome or not?

The results of the self-reflection are very clear.

Handsome, strong, and incredibly awesome!

bang——

The next second, a long, fair leg came flying straight at them.

"what!"

Ma Zhichao was kicked off the bed and fell to the ground.

Fang Siwei glared at him with her almond-shaped eyes and angrily shouted, "Were you thinking about that vixen again? Go to hell!"

After she finished cursing, she put on her slippers and went into the bathroom to rinse her mouth and take a shower.

"Ha, women."

Ma Zhichao rubbed his lower back, guessing that Fang Siwei was still jealous of Le Huizhen.

Ring ring ring—

The phone rang.

Caller ID: Hong Jipeng.

Ma Zhichao glanced in the direction of the bathroom, where the sound of running water could be heard.

He then casually checked the vicinity for any listening or hidden cameras.

Safety.

The call was connected.

Hong Jipeng's voice came through: "Boss."

Ma Zhichao asked, "How did the talks go?"

"We've already reached an agreement with Da Dong and his gang; we'll officially take action the day after tomorrow."

"it is good."

Not long after the call ended, Tian Yangsheng called again.

"Boss, we've basically taken over all of Tung Sing's original territory."

"Also, among the gangsters from Tung Sing, we selected more than four thousand with relatively clean backgrounds and recruited them."

"I have already arranged for people to go and sign property contracts with the landlords of those shops and rental properties, as well as the mall managers."

Ma Zhichao asked, "Was the process smooth? Did anyone from other gangs dare to offer help?"

"Not for now, those gangs are all behaving themselves."

"That's fine then."

Tian Yangsheng continued, "Boss, there's another problem. Some shop owners and landlords are unwilling to pay management fees. How do we handle this situation?"

Ma Zhichao sneered: "Not paying?"

"They don't even support a company run by a righteous person like me?"

"That's definitely not a good thing."

"What's the point of protecting someone like that?"

"Find a few spies planted in Hung Hing, cause them some trouble, and smash up their shops while you're at it."

Tian Yangsheng: "..."

Sure enough, the boss is ruthless!

Ma Zhichao is no pushover.

He has principles and a bottom line.

But his bottom line is mainly reserved for the truly vulnerable ordinary people.

As for shop owners and landlords?

They're all very rich.

Why would Ma Zhichao need to show mercy?

……

……

Early the next morning.

TVB and ATV's morning news didn't broadcast any big news that would excite the public.

The citizens were immediately disappointed.

"Looks like I'm out of energy again today."

"I can't concentrate at work unless there's big news."

However, as they passed by the newsstands, the newsstand owners had already started shouting their wares.

"Newspapers for sale! Newspapers for sale! Breaking news today!"

"Inspector Ma Zhichao has been the subject of numerous reports, suspected of abusing his power for personal gain!"

"Inspector Ma's property management company has been exposed for cooperating with police operations, transferring funds between its own pockets!"

The passersby's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

Ok?

Did Inspector Ma abuse his power for personal gain?

This news is pretty juicy!

As a result, many people took out their money to buy newspapers.

Before long, more than 20 newspapers published related reports, and sales soared, with many stalls selling out of stock.

On a bus.

A group of office workers were reading and chatting with newspapers in hand.

"Right after Inspector Ma finished clearing out Tung Sing, his property management company immediately moved in to take over the site... How does this seem like an abuse of power for personal gain?"

"I don't think so. If the protective umbrella doesn't go in, the Hung Hing, Wo Luen Shing, and Lian Wo Society will rush in to seize it. Then it'll just be gang after gang, right? What's the difference from before?"

"That's right. At least on the surface, Ma Sir's company is a legitimate business with legal procedures. They don't operate drug dens, gambling dens, or engage in human trafficking."

"Regardless of the motives, using police force to clear out one's own company's premises is a bit unreasonable, isn't it?"

The passengers quickly split into two groups.

Some people have raised questions.

Another group of people continued to support it.

However, because Ma Zhichao had cultivated such a successful image, most ordinary citizens still subconsciously sided with him.

There were also two people with special identities on this bus.

Chan Ho-nam and Chicken.

After listening all the way, Shanji realized that most people were actually speaking up for Ma Zhichao, and he immediately became furious, unable to hold back his anger, and shouted, "You people are all idiots!"

"Ma Zhichao is clearly despicable and shameless!"

"His property management company—it's called a company on the surface, but what's the difference between it and a triad?"

"In the past, to establish a foothold in the martial arts world, you at least needed to fight your way up with your own troops."

"He's really something, bringing the police straight to his door. That's called disregarding the rules of the underworld!"

Many passengers in the carriage immediately looked over, their expressions becoming somewhat strange.

"You sound so excited, you wouldn't happen to be someone from the club, would you?"

"Gangsters, please keep quiet."

"Those triads must hate Inspector Ma to death, after all, Inspector Ma really knows how to wipe them out."

"I estimate that most of these whistleblower letters were fabricated by triads."

"They must be scared."

"The more the triads fear us, the more we should support Inspector Ma!"

"That's right, support Officer Ma!"

Pheasant: "..."

leave!

Why have all these ordinary people suddenly become so smart?

However, on the other hand, Chicken himself did have someone write a letter of complaint.

The club gave them twenty yuan for each whistleblower letter.

He directly grabbed several students and wrote fifty letters in one go.

The students refused?

A beating would make them agree!

……

……

at this time.

Ma Zhichao woke up in Fang Siwei's bed.

He looked down at Fang Siwei, who was still sleeping beside him.

Those long, fair legs draped outside the blanket were so alluring they made one's eyes water.

Ma Zhichao's hands started moving again.

"You bastard, how can you be so rude first thing in the morning!"

Fang Siwei was woken up and became so angry that he started cursing.

Ma Zhichao said shamelessly, "Miss reporter, I'm really sorry, my younger brother is just a rough guy by nature, please forgive him."

Fang Siwei: "..."

She was so angry she gritted her teeth.

But before long, he couldn't help but start enjoying it.

Ring ring ring—

Ma Zhichao's phone rang.

Fang Siwei nudged him: "Your phone is ringing."

Ma Zhichao casually stuffed the blanket into her mouth: "Cover it up, quickly."

He picked up his phone and looked at it.

The caller was Liang Xiaorou.

"Xiaorou, what's wrong?"

Ma Zhichao's voice was calm and his tone was authoritative, with no hint of anything amiss.

Liang Xiaorou said anxiously, "Oh no, boss! This morning many newspapers were reporting on your abuse of power for personal gain."

"Abuse of power for personal gain? You mean the matter concerning the East Star territory?"

"right."

"Ignore them."

Ma Zhichao spoke very casually.

Liang Xiaorou added, "But there are a lot of reporters at the police station entrance, all of them want to interview you."

"Let them wait, I'm not going back to the police station today."

"Okay, boss."

The phone hangs up.

Ma Zhichao continued to attend to his business.

Fang Siwei finally threw off the blanket, and her voice could no longer be suppressed.

Ring ring ring—

Then another phone rang.

This time, it was Fang Siwei's phone that rang.

Caller: Supervisor.

As soon as Fang Siwei answered the call, the other end started talking non-stop.

"Xiao Fang, did you read the newspaper this morning?"

"Many newspapers are writing that Ma Zhichao is suspected of abusing his power for personal gain."

"Aren't you quite close to that Inspector Ma? Hurry up and find a way to interview him and ask him how he responds."

"Huh? Xiao Fang, why does your voice sound so strange?"

Fang Siwei bit her lip and managed to squeeze out, "Oh... I'm running..."
