After ten years undercover, I'm giving up.

Faced with such numbers, who can truly remain calm?

They were thieves to begin with.

Loves money, is greedy.

With each success, the money piled up, and naturally, the appetite grew.

At this moment, Da Dong finally spoke up: "Alright. After all, Teacher Li was the one who led us down this path. Intelligence, plans, arms, money laundering channels—weren't they all arranged by them? We just went to kidnap people, and we easily got over 300 million Hong Kong dollars. What more do you want?"

Despite saying that, Da Dong had already begun to focus his attention on the three Tiger, Leopard, and Beast brothers.

He knew very well that the three of them would not stay still for long.

Sooner or later, they will be unable to resist betraying "Teacher Li".

Then we'll see how "Teacher Li" handles it.

If Teacher Li demonstrates sufficiently intimidating strength, then Da Dong should obediently continue to do as the other party arranges.

But what if Teacher Li is just all show and no substance...?

Then I'm sorry.

Don't blame Da Dong for being ruthless.

When it's time to rebel, he will rebel just the same way!

At this point, Da Dong was no longer the reckless thief who only knew how to rob with a gun.

He is learning, observing, and gradually understanding how society truly works.

One must be ruthless enough to be a good person.

You need to be thick-skinned.

The bottom line must be low enough.

Intrigue and scheming are indispensable.

Only in this way can you make real big money!

A new generation of thief king is rapidly growing in the shadows.

……

……

Umbrella Property Management Company.

Ma Zhichao sat in his office, looking down at the newspaper.

Wanted criminal Huo Yuanjia, with a reward of six million!

The wanted criminal, "Crossing River Dragon," also has a bounty of six million!

Both names come with extremely high prices.

"Ring ring ring~~~"

The phone rang.

Hong Jipeng's voice came through the receiver: "Boss, I just handed over ten million in cash to Da Dong and Hu Bao He respectively. However, the three Hu Bao He brothers are probably already thinking about starting their own business."

Afterwards, Hong Jipeng gave a brief account of the undercurrents of conflict between the Da Dong team and Hu Bao He during their meeting that day.

Ma Zhichao couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

"Want to go solo? Sure. The more they jump around, the more credit I'll get."

At this point, Ma Zhichao asked again, "What about Da Dong?"

Hong Jipeng said, "They probably have some ideas too, but they don't dare to act for the time being."

Ma Zhichao said calmly, "Alright, then we don't need to worry about them for now. Just keep a close eye on them. If anyone dares to rebel, we'll wipe them out in one fell swoop. As for new bandits, we'll keep looking for them and keep raising them."

There's plenty of chives.

After one crop is harvested, another one will be harvested.

Hong Jipeng replied respectfully, "Understood, boss."

Ma Zhichao suddenly remembered the old butler of the Dagu Group.

With a brain like John's, he probably wouldn't have come up with a plan to use the news to smear others.

The one who actually made the arrangements was most likely that old butler Will.

Ma Zhichao's eyes turned slightly cold: "I'll give you another task: get rid of that old butler as well."

Hong Jipeng didn't hesitate: "Okay, boss."

Just as Ma Zhichao was about to hang up, he felt something was missing.

Kill them outright?

Too rough.

Ma Zhichao is always good at making several dishes from a single fish.

So he added, "Find someone from Hung Hing and have them lead the clues towards Hung Hing. Then I'll have a reason to lead a team to raid them."

Hong Jipeng was completely convinced.

Frame someone, and try to get multiple benefits from the same thing.

As expected of the boss!

After hanging up the phone, Ma Zhichao called Tian Yangsi in again.

"Boss."

Recently, after being criticized by Ma Zhichao, Tian Yangsi has changed his original "emo" style.

Now, with her long, straight black hair and a new professional-style blazer, she looks much better.

Ma Zhichao leaned back in his chair: "Tell me about the company's recent situation."

Tian Yangsi immediately reported to his superiors: "On the Umbrella Property side, in addition to taking over the Dongxing territory, we also instigated conflicts between several triads by arranging undercover agents, and at the same time stirred up some business disputes. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the company has acquired eight more streets."

Ma Zhichao nodded: "How's the accountant I sent doing?"

Tianyang thought to himself, "Accountant Chen is very capable. Through many accounting manipulations, he has cleaned up about forty million and turned it into the company's legitimate income."

"good."

Ma Zhichao nodded in satisfaction: "What about the acquisitions of the soft drink company and the film company? Tell me about the progress."

Tian Yangsi flipped through the documents: "We've shortlisted two suitable soft drink companies. Both owners plan to emigrate overseas and are willing to sell, but their asking prices are both too high."

"migrant?"

Ma Zhichao's lips curled into a cold smile: "For this kind of person, try to drive the price down as much as possible."

"If you can't get him to comply, invite his family over for a chat and make him obediently sell the factory."

People who want to immigrate are not worth his leniency.

After saying that, he added, "Remember, don't let our company's people handle it directly. Arrange for undercover agents from other gangs to do it, and pin the blame on those gangs. I'll bring people to investigate later, and that'll give me another piece of the pie."

Tian Yangsi's lips twitched slightly: "Yes, boss."

Sure enough, the boss is still the same boss.

Never take the usual path.

Ma Zhichao then asked, "What about the film company? How's it going?"

Tianyang thought to himself, "Direct acquisition is not easy. I've investigated, and most film companies have ties to organized crime groups behind them, many of which are used for money laundering."

Ma Zhichao's heart skipped a beat, and he thought of the Qiankun Film Company owned by Liang Kun.

He asked, "What about that Hung Hing boss, B? Is he dead yet?"

Tian Yangsi shook his head: "He's still alive, and he's been in Causeway Bay recently. However, the conflict between him and Liang Kun is becoming more and more obvious."

Ma Zhichao pondered to himself.

After so much time, Boss B should be getting killed by Handsome Kun soon.

After all, when Chan Ho-nam killed Ba Bi, it caused Young Kun to lose 20 million.

wrong……

Ma Zhichao suddenly had another idea.

He picked up the phone again and dialed Hong Jipeng.

"Regarding what I just mentioned, let's steer the clues toward Hung Hing. The target is Lung Kwan in Mong Kok. And incidentally, transfer US$800,000 to him through a Swiss account."

"What we want is authenticity."

Hong Jipeng immediately replied, "Understood, I'll arrange it right away."

Doing this has many benefits.

It can both trick Liang Kun.

They could also take the opportunity to acquire Leung Kwan's film company.

They can also take over Liang Kun's territory while they're at it.

One fish, multiple uses—skill level up again!

Ma Zhichao then instructed Tian Yangsi: "Speed ​​up the film company matter. Put the acquisition aside for now, and directly poach talent with high salaries. Screenwriters, directors, actors, cinematographers, editors—you can poach them all. Don't be afraid to spend money; it's a good opportunity to clean up some pockets while you're at it."

Tian Yangsi nodded: "Yes, boss."

Ma Zhichao then asked, "What about the newspaper?"

Tian Yangsi replied, "We have already acquired three small newspapers: the Economic Daily, the Sun Yat-sen Daily, and the People's Livelihood Daily. Larger newspapers are more difficult to acquire for the time being."

Ma Zhichao nodded and said, "Okay."

After finishing his business, Ma Zhichao got up and left the property management company, preparing to go to the West Kowloon Police Station.

After going downstairs.

Across the street.

There were three people in the car.

If Ma Zhichao took a closer look, he would definitely recognize it.

Ching Wan, Daniel Wu, Louis Koo...

"Ma Zhichao is out!"

"He's getting ready to get on the bus!"

"Yanzu" immediately took out his equipment and began to adjust the eavesdropping signal.

They had already installed a bugging device in Ma Zhichao's car yesterday.

Although they didn't understand why they had to wiretap a regional police chief, a high-ranking chief superintendent, the Commissioner of Police had signed off on it, so they, as officers, had no choice but to obey.

"Qingyun" started the vehicle and prepared to follow.

Louis Koo stared intently at Ma Chi-Chiu across the street through the car window.

As for Ma Zhichao...

His extraordinary senses suddenly caught a faint feeling of being watched.
