After ten years undercover, I'm giving up.

Chapter 162 The higher-ups were forced to retreat

However, Charles knew very well that he had no choice.

Even if he knew that Ma Zhichao had started this whole mess, what could he do?

Undercover work is an extremely important part of the Hong Kong Island Police Force.

If the undercover agents really turn on each other, the police will become a laughing stock in Hong Kong, and even internationally.

Ma Zhichao's move hit him right where it hurt.

Not only could he not punish Ma Zhichao, he also had to help him take on this matter.

Charles finally spoke: "I think Director Ma's proposal is very important and necessary."

He turned his head to the side: "Public Relations Department."

Brown immediately stood up: "Chief!"

Charles ordered in a deep voice: "The Public Relations Department must hold a press conference and release the information to the public before noon today."

"This indicates that the old version of the 'Undercover Reintegration Management Ordinance' is no longer suitable for the needs of the police force's development in the new era."

"The Police Force will formally discuss the 'Undercover Officer Treatment Reform Plan' submitted by Commissioner Ma within a month, and will definitely give the undercover officers a satisfactory explanation."

Brown immediately replied, "Yes, sir!"

Charles looked at Ma Zhichao with a questioning gaze.

Shouldn't you be satisfied now?

Ma Zhichao was naturally dissatisfied.

He continued, "There's one more thing."

"The Criminal Intelligence Division investigated and wiretapped me without any supporting evidence, based solely on hearsay."

"How does the section chief plan to handle this matter?"

Brandon, the head of the Criminal Intelligence Division and assistant chief, changed his expression instantly.

It seems like I'm about to become the scapegoat!

Ma Zhichao has clearly obtained concessions from the top leader, so he will no longer pursue the top leader's responsibility.

Instead, they turned their attention to him!

Charles glanced at Brandon, paused for a moment, and finally said, "Brandon, the head of the Criminal Intelligence Division, has committed serious oversight and submitted erroneous reports to his superiors, which constitutes serious dereliction of duty."

"Effective immediately, Brandon is demoted to Chief Superintendent and will no longer serve as head of the Criminal Intelligence Bureau."

"Former deputy head of the Criminal Intelligence Division, Cody, will temporarily take over as head."

A huge accusation was simply slapped on Brandon's head.

Although Charles initially decided to investigate Ma Zhichao after reviewing the Political Department's investigation materials.

However, the Political Department is scheduled to be dissolved next year, and since it is half under the command of the Grand Commander, it is not easy to mess with.

So Charles simply pinned the blame on the Criminal Intelligence Division.

As for the Criminal Intelligence Bureau, in order to avoid turmoil, the deputy was directly put in charge, which can be considered a way to stabilize morale.

"????"

Brandon was so angry he almost vomited blood on the spot.

I actually got blamed for this!

Hey!

This whole thing was clearly orchestrated by the Political Department, what does it have to do with Brandon?!

Brandon's second-in-command, Cody, was overjoyed.

This is a great power bestowed upon us by heaven!

Damn, that felt good!

Ma Zhichao, awesome!

Thank you, Sir Ma, for the wonderful gift!

Ma Zhichao smiled and said, "Thank you, Director."

Objective achieved!

This embarrassed the top guy.

It enhanced his reputation.

While we're at it, we also fired the head of the Criminal Intelligence Division.

They also took the opportunity to introduce an undercover proposal.

The undercover team will undoubtedly be even more grateful to him in the future.

If I ever feel "wronged" again, I can still use my undercover identity to directly confront the top brass of the police force.

This undercover agent banner is damn useful!

Charles stood up expressionlessly: "Meeting adjourned."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Only then did many of the high-ranking officials get up and leave.

In twos and threes, they whispered among themselves.

Many people's eyes kept falling on Ma Zhichao's back as he walked ahead.

The meeting has ended.

But after this meeting, everyone realized one thing.

Ma Zhichao is a man not to be underestimated!

His influence surged dramatically at that moment.

"Director Ma, please wait a moment."

Brown, the head of public relations, quickly caught up with them, his attitude very polite.

"Regarding the press conference before noon, I wonder if Director Ma has any suggestions?"

Ma Zhichao waved his hand casually: "No, Mr. Brown can arrange it himself."

……

11:00 AM.

The police held a press conference.

At the press conference, the deputy head of the Public Relations Department personally came forward to explain to reporters from all Hong Kong media outlets and accepted interviews.

First, the spokesperson responded to the investigation into Ma Zhichao.

Let me explain the reason first.

The Criminal Intelligence Division made unfounded accusations, and the director was misled by false information.

He then apologized to Ma Zhichao.

The final penalty will be announced.

The head of the criminal intelligence division was demoted.

Next, regarding the issue of undercover treatment, the spokesperson stated that the Director has recognized the shortcomings of the old version of the "Undercover Return Management Ordinance".

It was also stated that Ma Zhichao submitted a "Reform Plan for Undercover Agent Treatment".

The police force will reach a final decision within a month, so undercover officers can rest assured.

……

noon.

With Lam Tai-heng's approval, ATV's midday news program gave a positive and comprehensive report on the Ma Chi-chiu incident.

Good afternoon, fellow citizens of Hong Kong Island.

"Now we will broadcast the first news item of the day."

"This morning, Inspector Ma Zhichao raised strong questions to the police force regarding the wiretapping incident and the treatment he would receive upon reinstatement as an undercover agent..."

"Regarding this matter, ATV reporters also went to the streets to interview some citizens."

Citizen 1: Officer Ma is definitely innocent! Think about it, how many crimes has Officer Ma cracked down on?

Citizen 2: I support Inspector Ma.

"Citizen 3: I really sympathize with the undercover agent; being an undercover agent is truly miserable..."

"As can be seen from the street interviews just now, many citizens sympathize with Inspector Ma and the undercover officer, while also expressing dissatisfaction with the way the police force handled the situation."

"Next, we have another breaking news item, also related to Inspector Ma Zhichao."

"The Police Force will hold a press conference at 11:00 a.m."

"The head of the Criminal Intelligence Division has been officially demoted."

"At the same time, Inspector Ma submitted a 'Reform Plan for Undercover Agents' Treatment.' This plan is expected to be discussed and announced within a month, aiming to improve the treatment of undercover agents and address various issues they may face upon returning to the police force."

The incident sparked a strong reaction on Hong Kong Island after it was broadcast on ATV's midday news.

Ordinary citizens praised the police force for its quick response.

Those undercover agents lurking in various places felt a surge of warmth in their hearts after watching the news.

"Officer Ma is so kind!"

"Our compensation has finally had a chance to improve, and suddenly we're looking forward to being reinstated."

"Hopefully, Inspector Ma's proposal will be approved soon!"

At that moment, hundreds or even thousands of undercover agents throughout Hong Kong were incredibly grateful to Ma Zhichao.

卧底声望+1+1+1+1+1

……

……

Political Department.

Minister Stevens called Yang Jinrong into his office.

"Yang, you must have seen the news by now, right?"

Yang Jinrong nodded: "Minister, I have already seen it."

As Yang Jinrong read the news, he felt increasingly cold.

He habitually resorted to presuming guilt again.

Let's assume that Ma Zhichao was behind all of this.

First, Ma Zhichao orchestrated the kidnapping of Lin Jianming by Pu Guang.

He then personally intervened to save the person, gaining Lin's favor and taking the opportunity to break through ATV's news blockade.
