After ten years undercover, I'm giving up.

The next morning, major newspapers on Hong Kong Island immediately followed up, making the matter a hot topic throughout the city.

For a time, the focus of public opinion in Hong Kong Island almost entirely revolved around Ma Zhichao.

Hung Hing: "..."

Wo Luen Shing: "..."

Hong Tai: "..."

Other clubs and organizations: "..."

All the gang leaders couldn't help but curse inwardly.

How could a treacherous and shameless guy like Ma Zhichao be awarded a medal?

Is Your Majesty's eyesight failing?

Ma Chi-Chiu's awarding of this medal, followed by his promotion to Acting Commissioner of West Kowloon, has caused a stir far beyond the police force.

Those undercover police officers who are hiding all over Hong Kong and still struggling in the dark have been acting like they've been given a shot of adrenaline these past two days.

One by one, their blood was boiling, and they roared as they swore in their hearts:

"I want to be like Inspector Ma someday!"

……

Silver Triangle.

Dilu, a former subordinate of Han Chen, has successfully infiltrated the inner circle of a major drug lord, Chatchai, thanks to his years of experience. He has even risen to the position of the third most trusted confidant.

On that day, he saw the footage of Ma Chi-chiu receiving the medal through TVB International News Channel.

In an instant, his eyes were filled with resentment and venom.

"Ma Zhichao!!"

Dilu stared intently at the television screen, making a silent vow in his heart.

One day, he will definitely return to Hong Kong Island!

……

……

West Kowloon Headquarters.

"Chief!"

"Chief!"

"Chief!"

This time, as soon as Ma Zhichao stepped into the police station, all the officers changed how they addressed him and treated him with more respect than before.

His office has also officially moved.

The new office is the same one that was originally the chief's office, located opposite the Major Crimes Unit.

Ma Zhichao.

Director.

From that moment on, he truly sat at the top of the power structure in the entire West Kowloon region.

After taking office, Ma Zhichao's first act was to promote his subordinates and distribute bonuses.

The last time we cleaned Dongxing.

This time, the operation was launched to encircle and suppress Johnny Wan.

Almost everyone in the PTU department participated, and virtually everyone contributed, at the very least earning a promotion.

In addition to the PTU, officers from the Anti-Triad Unit, Major Crimes Unit, Uniformed Patrol Team, Emergency Unit, and Mong Kok Police Station who participated in the operation also received promotion opportunities or bonuses.

Among them, Stephen Chow and Chan Ka-kui, who were the most aggressive, were directly promoted to senior inspectors.

Liang Xiaorou, the secretary, was also successfully promoted to inspector.

This promotion speed is incredibly fast, like riding a rocket.

In addition, of the more than ten million dollars in illicit funds seized during the last raid on Tung Sing, 70% was handed over to the police force, while the remaining 30% was kept by West Kowloon.

In total, it amounts to approximately three million.

Ma Zhichao waved his hand and distributed the money, telling his brothers to make up for the health problems they had suffered from working overtime late into the night.

The moment the money arrived, the entire police station erupted in cheers.

"Long live the Director!"

"Long live the Director!"

"Long live the Director!"

Ma Zhichao's prestige within the West Kowloon Headquarters instantly soared to the top.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Zhichao found another excuse to remove Jameson, William's trusted confidant, from his position as head of the Major Crimes Unit.

He was directly demoted to the logistics department.

No one objected.

No one spoke up for him.

Jason was completely distraught.

Without William's backing, he was nothing in West Kowloon and could only obediently go to work in the back office with his tail between his legs.

Next, Ma Zhichao will temporarily take charge of the Major Crimes Unit.

As for the official candidate for head of the Major Crimes Unit, that position will remain vacant for now.

Since there aren't many truly capable officers in the Major Crimes Unit right now, Ma Zhichao simply brought back Zhou Xingxing and Chen Jiaju.

At the same time, Gao Jiasheng and Guan Wenzhan, who performed well in the PTU, were also placed into the Serious Crimes Unit by him.

However, Ma Zhichao has not yet finalized the positions of team leader for Major Crimes Team A and Team B.

His first thought was Stephen Chow.

But the next second, he decisively rejected the idea.

During the last manhunt for Johnny Wang, Stephen Chow's excessive individual heroism almost caused the formation to collapse.

This kind of person is suitable to be a sharp blade.

However, it is not suitable for him to lead and manage the team at the moment.

"Xiao Rou, call Jia Ju over."

After thinking about it, Ma Zhichao felt that Chen Jiaju still had a chance to be saved.

Liang Xiaorou immediately nodded: "Yes, sir!"

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out in the Major Crimes Unit's office area outside.

"What kind of work is your serious crimes unit doing? You manage to smash up my shop while catching a thief?"

"And my car! The doors are all scratched!"

"I'm injured too, and it's all his fault!"

"He overturned my vegetable stall!"

"We have to pay back the money! We absolutely have to pay back the money!"

"I want to file a complaint!"

Hearing the noise, Ma Zhichao pushed open the door and went out.

Then he saw several uncles and aunts, middle-aged men and women, clinging tightly to Chen Jiaju's clothes and surrounding him, berating him harshly.

Chen Jiaju had a bitter face, full of shame, and his head was almost touching his chest.

The matter is actually not complicated.

On his way to work, Chen Jiaju happened to encounter a robbery, so he instinctively gave chase.

As a result, his pursuit turned him into a human demolition machine.

It charged recklessly all the way.

What's worse, the thief was never caught.

So, he was grabbed by the collar by a group of victimized citizens and dragged all the way back to the police station.

"Boss, I'm sorry..."

Upon seeing Ma Zhichao, Chen Jiaju felt even more ashamed, his face turning as red as a monkey's bottom.

When the citizens saw Ma Zhichao, their initial anger subsided considerably.

Many people even smiled.

"Officer Ma!"

"Officer Ma!"

"Wow, I finally met you in person today!"

"Officer Ma, do you have a girlfriend? My daughter is very beautiful!"

"Your daughter's beautiful my foot, Officer Ma! My daughter is the real beauty! When are you coming over for dinner?"

The art style suddenly went off track.

Ma Zhichao felt a chill run down his spine.

"Excuse me, everyone, I already have a girlfriend."

After saying that, he pulled Chen Jiaju to his side and patted him on the shoulder.

"As for the losses caused by Ka-Kui this time, the police station will handle the compensation according to the actual situation."

"However, I hope that you uncles and aunties will give me some face and not complain about him anymore."

"He can be a bit reckless at times, but he's incredibly dedicated to solving cases. Whenever there's a major case, he's always at the forefront, often ending up covered in injuries."

"In our major crimes unit, he's probably the most reckless one."

"You've probably seen the news about the two major arms arsenal cases and this Johnny Wang case; he was indeed always on the front lines."

After hearing what Ma Zhichao said, the uncles and aunts calmed down a lot.

Looking at Chan Ka-kui's honest and seemingly not-so-bright appearance, everyone wasn't so angry anymore.

Chen Jiaju was internally furious: Who's not smart? Who is it?!

"Fine, for Officer Ma's sake, we'll let it go this time."

"Don't be so impulsive next time. Catching a thief is one thing, but you can't just run them over like that. The worst part is you still didn't catch them."

"Forget about my car, please give Officer Ma some face. Officer Ma, my daughter really likes you, could we take a photo together and get your autograph?"

"Can."

"I want a photo too! My son loves Officer Ma!"

Instead of causing a disturbance, a group of citizens surrounded Ma Zhichao to take photos and sign autographs.

Chen Jiaju finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Stephen Chow stood next to him and winked at him.

"If it weren't for Ah Tou covering for you, you would definitely have been scolded mercilessly again this time."

Chen Jiaju nodded seriously.

He was truly grateful to Ma Zhichao.

In the past, Raymond and Uncle Biao would have defended him, but they would most likely have given him a severe dressing-down first, and then made him do hard work to make up for his mistakes.

Although it was for his own good.

But nothing compares to the way Inspector Ma handled things.

Chen Jiaju was increasingly moved as he thought about it.

Inspector Ma is truly exceptional to himself!

After smilingly seeing the group of citizens off, Ma Zhichao turned to look at Chen Jiaju.

"Come to my office."

Chen Jiaju scratched his head guiltily.

in the office.

The door had just closed.

Ma Zhichao immediately activated the CPU combination technique.

First hit them with a stick, then stuff them with sweet dates.

"You...you..."

Ma Zhichao pointed at Chen Jiaju with a look of disappointment and frustration.

"Ka-Kui, when are you going to get rid of this habit?"

"The positions of team leader for both Team A and Team B in the Major Crimes Unit are currently vacant. I was originally considering having you become a team leader."

"But how can I entrust a team to you in your current state?"

"What? Team leader?"

Chen Jiaju's eyes widened instantly, and he became fully alert.

"Boss, are you really going to make me the team leader?"

Ma Zhichao nodded.

"In terms of seniority, you're qualified."

"In terms of experience, you have enough."

"In terms of prestige, you're no problem even in the Major Crimes Unit."

"The only problem is that he's a bit slow on the uptake."

Chan Ka-kui was drenched in sweat on the spot.

Officer Ma, please stop cursing.

I know I've lost my mind.

Ma Zhichao continued, "How about this, I'll give you a chance."

"In the next month, as long as you don't make the same mistake again, finish reading five books on police command and management, and write a 10,000-word reflection for me."

"When the time comes, I'll promote you to team leader."

Chen Jiaju's eyes suddenly lit up in a frightening way.

stand at attention!
