After ten years undercover, I'm giving up.

……

Twenty minutes later.

Outside that abandoned, unfinished building on Changxing Street.

The police have deployed all their personnel.

Centered on the unfinished building, there are ambush points hidden everywhere within a radius of 100 meters.

Another ten minutes passed.

Suddenly, a police officer's hushed voice came through the earpiece: "Inspector Wu, a suspicious target has been spotted at entrance B on the northeast side."

A street corner in the distance.

A figure wearing a baseball cap and a face mask, completely covered up, was slowly approaching the unfinished building.

Wu Shaoxiong's eyes lit up instantly.

"Don't move!"

"I'll call to confirm."

After saying that, he immediately dialed Ma Zhichao's number.

The call was connected.

Wu Shaoxiong asked in a low voice, "Hey, have you arrived yet?"

On the other end of the phone, Ma Zhichao's voice came through quickly: "I've arrived, Officer Wu. Where are you?"

Wu Shaoxiong said, "I'm already inside the building, hurry up and come over."

But the next second, the voice on the phone suddenly stopped.

"Wait……"

"Officer Wu, I have a feeling something's off about this area?"

"Damn, that's not right!"

"You fucking ambushed me here?"

"Wu Shaoxiong, are you trying to make me take the blame?"

"I'll fucking swear!"

beep-

The phone line was immediately disconnected.

Almost simultaneously, a police officer's urgent voice came through the earpiece: "Inspector Wu, something bad has happened!"

"The target suddenly turned and ran away after finishing the phone call!"

Wu Shaoxiong's expression suddenly changed, and he rushed out of the unfinished building, roaring at the top of his lungs, "Chase!"

"Chase them all!"

"We absolutely cannot let Ma Zhichao escape!"

At that moment, Wu Shaoxiong was so angry he almost exploded on the spot.

Which bastard failed to hide properly?

How did Ma Zhichao manage to spot the problem?

Just when they were about to close the deal, something went wrong at the last minute!

"shot!"

"Fire immediately!"

"No matter what, we can't let him go!"

Wu Shaoxiong almost lost his mind, gripping his sidearm, and was the first to chase after them.

bang bang bang-

Police officers who had been lying in ambush nearby also appeared and chased after the direction in which "Ma Zhichao" had fled, firing continuously as they ran.

Many police officers found it strange.

Why would Ma Zhichao, a key figure in the Han Chen Group, come to the unfinished building in the middle of the night to meet with Wu Shaoxiong?

But doubts remain.

Ma Zhichao was, after all, one of Han Chen's four trusted confidants.

When such a serious criminal is brought before them, they certainly won't miss the opportunity to arrest him, or even kill him on the spot.

bang bang bang-

Gunshots continued to tear through the night.

But that "Ma Zhichao" was incredibly fast, dodging left and right, and quickly broke out of the encirclement.

He then jumped into a car parked on the side of the road, slammed on the gas, and the car shot off instantly.

"Officer Wu! The target has gotten in the car and sped away!"

"Chase them! Chase them!"

Wu Shaoxiong roared until his voice was almost hoarse, and he was nearly insane.

It was about to end perfectly.

If we can shut Ma Zhichao down tonight, this matter will be completely resolved.

As it turned out, this guy sensed something was wrong beforehand, and he actually managed to tear open a gap and escape!

What should I do?

How is he going to explain this to his superiors?

"Hurry up!"

"Everyone get in the car and give chase!"

Urged on by Wu Shaoxiong's repeated roars, the police officers all climbed into the police car.

boom--

The sound of engines roared one after another.

Police cars rushed into the night like mad dogs.

Wu Shaoxiong immediately got into the car and personally led the team to chase after them.

But after all the police officers had been lured away...

On the rooftop of another building not far away.

The real Ma Zhichao was standing there leisurely, watching this farce unfold from beginning to end.

He stretched leisurely, his face full of contentment.

That's right.

The "Ma Zhichao" wearing a full hat and mask just now was not him at all.

That was just one of his subordinates whom he had sent out.

The other person's build was somewhat similar to his, and most importantly, he was fast.

The gentleman does not stand under the wall.

Ma Zhichao certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to personally go and step on a landmine.

His style was to sit in the back and watch the fish bite.

"This last piece of the puzzle is now complete."

"Now, we can officially start the next game."

Ma Zhichao smiled, turned around and left the rooftop.

No matter what, we're going to make a killing this time.

Tian Yangsheng and Tian Yangsi followed quietly behind him.

Ma Zhichao glanced at the system interface.

[Current sentiment level: 578 points.]

[Initial mood score: 325 points.]

It's been a really slow process to accumulate these past few days.

After all that effort, the total increase was only a little over 250 points.

But it's okay.

The real big win is coming soon.

The next thing we need to make a big fuss about is the one that gets blown out of proportion.

It would be best if this became a public spectacle known to everyone in Hong Kong!

Ma Zhichao turned to look at Tian Yangsi and instructed, "Asi, have someone check Fang Siwei's contact information again."

"I have a big news story in my hand, which I'm going to give to her."

Tian Yangsi nodded immediately: "Understood."

……

……

Wu Shaoxiong's side.

A group of police cars chased for several kilometers, but eventually lost track of the person.

They only found the abandoned car by the roadside.

boom--

bang bang-

"Damn it!"

bang bang bang-

Wu Shaoxiong sat in the car, furiously pounding the steering wheel, his whole demeanor so volatile it looked like he was about to go berserk.

At this point, he had to admit it.

The operation failed.

Once again, it almost happened.

However, things haven't reached the point of being completely out of control yet.

After all, Chen Yongren is already dead.

He could easily pin all the blame on Chen Yongren.

Although they couldn't get rid of Ma Zhichao easily, they couldn't achieve the perfect ending.

But at least for now, this explanation can barely give all the citizens of Hong Kong an explanation.

After returning to the police station.

Wu Shaoxiong immediately dialed Smith's number.

As soon as the call connected, a cold voice came from the other end: "I hope you bring good news."

Wu Shaoxiong quickly said, "Director, I'm sorry, Ma Zhichao is still at large."

"However, I have successfully killed Chen Yongren."

He deliberately put his words in a more elegant way.

But Smith wasn't fooled by such flowery language; he went straight to the point, his tone instantly turning agitated: "Why hasn't Ma Zhichao been apprehended yet?"

The case of Huang Zhicheng's murder was assigned to Smith by his superiors.

Smith then passed the pressure on to Wu Shaoxiong.

Now Wu Shaoxiong is telling him that the person wasn't caught?

"I'm sorry, Director."

Wu Shaoxiong quickly explained, "Ma Zhichao is too cunning. I had already set up an encirclement in advance, but one of the officers below wasn't hidden well enough, and he noticed it beforehand."

"Fuck!"

Smith immediately launched into a tirade of profanities.

"You stupid pig!"

"Such a good opportunity, and you let him get away?"

"Useless! You're just a piece of trash!"

"Even a pig could do a worse job!"

"The Commissioner of Police has given a firm order that the results must be announced to all citizens of Hong Kong tomorrow."

"Now that they've run away, how am I supposed to explain this to the top leader?"

"Tell me, how am I supposed to explain this?"

Smith kept cursing on the other end of the phone.

His posture suggested he could spit on Wu Shaoxiong's face even through the receiver.

But Wu Shaoxiong wasn't afraid of being scolded.

What he was really afraid of was that Smith would throw him out as a pawn.

"Director, please, you must help me this time."

"Now that Chen Yongren is dead, we can use him to give the public an explanation."

"As for Ma Zhichao, I will continue the investigation and make sure he is brought back!"

On the other end of the phone, Smith was clearly still suppressing his anger: "Are you sure Ma Zhichao doesn't have anything to prove he's an undercover police officer?"

Wu Shaoxiong quickly assured him, "Absolutely not!"

"I personally deleted all of his files."

"He can't possibly produce any evidence to prove his identity!"

Smith's voice turned cold: "You handle this yourself."

"Remember, I know nothing."

Wu Shaoxiong immediately replied, "Don't worry, Director, there won't be any problems!"

Smith replied coldly, "That was for the best."

"Otherwise, you're finished."

The words fell.

The call was abruptly disconnected.

Wu Shaoxiong held the receiver, his face so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.

He sat there for a long time, lost in thought.

Ma Zhichao, of course, still needs to be apprehended.

But tomorrow's press conference must still be held as scheduled.

Since Ma Zhichao has not yet been captured, let's bring Chen Yongren to the forefront first.

Let him fill this hole!
