After ten years undercover, I'm giving up.

Chapter 182 The whole of Hong Kong is asking where the money comes from.

Therefore, Ma Zhichao must first defeat Lin's Apparel and take back the ATV shares held by Lin's.

Only then will they truly dedicate themselves to managing ATV.

As for how to defeat the Lin family?

His movie GG collaborates with a clothing factory, and the project will officially launch soon.

That will be the first step in targeting the Lin family.

If all else fails, tie it up a few more times.

Let's pluck it bald!

For now, ATV only needs to serve as Ma Zhichao's news and publicity arm, and that will be enough.

……

Noon.

ATV's midday news officially began airing.

Because of its recent strong performance, ATV's ratings continue to outperform TVB's.

ATV news anchors wear professional smiles.

Good afternoon, fellow citizens of Hong Kong Island.

"Now we have some breaking news to share."

The entire population of Hong Kong: "??????"

Has someone been kidnapped again?

The host continued, "Yesterday, Mr. Ma Zhichao and Mr. Zheng Daheng officially signed the ATV share acquisition agreement."

"Mr. Ma Zhichao has officially acquired 28 percent of ATV's shares from Zheng Daheng for a high price of HK$420 million."

"From today onwards, Mr. Ma Zhichao will become the second largest shareholder of ATV and will officially join the ATV board of directors."

"From today onwards, Mr. Ma Zhichao will officially become the second largest shareholder of Asia Television and will obtain a seat on the board of directors..."

"Next, we will play footage from the board meeting..."

"During the meeting, Mr. Ma Zhichao delivered a speech..."

"The following is a separate interview with Mr. Ma Zhichao by our station."

Screen switch.

Facing the camera, Ma Zhichao calmly said, "Why did I have to acquire ATV shares? Actually, I had no other choice."

"Someone is targeting me, ordering all the media in Hong Kong to only report my negative news, but not my positive news."

"So I had no choice but to buy ATV shares to prevent my own news from being blocked in the future."

Seeing this...

Hong Kong audience: "??????"

A confused tree bears confused fruit; beneath the confused tree are you and me.

Countless faces were filled with confusion.

"What's going on?"

"How did Inspector Ma suddenly become so rich? He even bought shares in ATV?"

"Holy crap, 420 million! Where did Inspector Ma get that money?"

"Could it be embezzlement?"

"Get lost! Embezzling 420 million in three months? Do you think he's robbing a bank?"

"Definitely impossible. If it were really dirty money, would he dare to be so high-profile? Do you think the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is a pushover?"

What is the status of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) on Hong Kong Island?

One sentence is enough.

It reports directly to the Grand Commander.

There were no other superiors; the only person directly above him was the Grand Commander himself.

And what about the police force?

Above the police force is the Administrative Secretary.

This alone demonstrates the high status of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).

of course.

No matter how fierce a dog is, it won't dare to bite its owner.

Hong Kong Island is still under the control of foreigners, and with only four years left, everyone is frantically making money and running away.

This reflects the overall will of the Westerners.

It is also the will of the Queen and the Grand Commander.

Therefore, the ICAC basically turns a blind eye to things involving foreigners.

The only people it can really target are government officials who want to stay in Hong Kong and have no intention of leaving.

……

the other side.

TVB.

As ATV's only competitor, any movement from ATV quickly reached the ears of Shao Daheng and Fang Yitai.

Both of them were taken aback.

Ma Zhichao?

Where did he get the money?

He's just a cop!

……

West Kowloon Police Station.

Inside the Major Crimes Unit office.

Stephen Chow, Chan Ka-kui, and others were also watching ATV news.

then……

"Holy shit!"

Everyone was stunned.

Stephen Chow grabbed Chan Ka-kui's hand and bit it hard.

"Ahhhhhh"

Chan Ka-kui screamed in pain, "Why did you bite me?"

Stephen Chow said seriously, "I want to make sure I'm not dreaming."

"Now it seems, it wasn't a dream."

Chan Ka-kui retorted angrily, "Then don't bite me!"

Stephen Chow replied matter-of-factly, "Should I bite myself? That would hurt!"

Chen Jiaju: "???"

Hey!

Is this even human language?

Soon, the news spread throughout the West Kowloon Police Station and then to its nine substations.

All the officers were deeply shocked.

"Officer Ma is awesome!"

"My God, Inspector Ma is so rich!"

"Inspector Ma is actually a very wealthy man!"

"From now on, you can't call me 'Mr. Ma' anymore, you have to call me 'Tycoon Ma'!"

……

East Kowloon.

Director Edmund: "??????"

……

Border area.

Peng Xinjian, Cheng Silin, and Yuan Haoyun: "??????"

……

Police Department.

Charles, the top dog: "????"

Operations Division Chief Tsai Yuan-chi: "????"

Fang Jiexia, Public Relations Department: "????"

Everyone was completely dumbfounded!

……

Meanwhile, the political department...

When Secretary of State Steven heard the news, he was startled.

In that instant, many things came to mind.

The Lin family was kidnapped one after another, resulting in losses of nearly four billion.

In the end, the one who benefited was Ma Zhichao.

He acquired ATV shares!

Moreover, how similar is this style to the previous ones?

If we assume that Ma Zhichao was the mastermind, then he had the motive, opportunity, and ability to plan the whole thing.

In the end, he did indeed reap the greatest benefits.

"Someone come here!"

Soon, a political officer walked in.

"minister!"

Steven said in a deep voice, "Investigate the source of Ma Zhichao's funds."

"In addition, I anonymously reported it to the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC)."

"It is said that Ma Zhichao is suspected of embezzling and accepting bribes on a huge scale."

The detective immediately replied, "Yes, sir!"

……

With the broadcast on ATV News, Ma Chi-Chiu suddenly became the focus of discussion throughout Hong Kong.

Some people think that Ma Sir is amazing, as he suddenly became the second largest shareholder of ATV.

Some people also suspect that Ma Zhichao's source of funds is questionable.

How could a police commissioner suddenly come up with 420 million?

Could it be assets he secretly embezzled during his time as an undercover agent for Han Chen?

The controversy is escalating.

Many people with ulterior motives have already begun to secretly investigate where Ma Zhichao's money came from.

Upon investigation, the results were found.

I then discovered that the money came from HSBC.

Further investigation revealed that the property management company had mortgaged tens of thousands of merchants' property contracts for the next five years to HSBC.

Then, they lent out 500 million!

"this……"

Those in charge of the investigation were all stunned.

You can play it like this?

……

At night.

The true source of Ma Zhichao's HK$420 million has spread among the more than six million citizens of Hong Kong.

The discussion grew even more heated.

The discussion mainly revolved around three questions.

"Where did the money come from?"

"Is it embezzlement?"

"How exactly did Inspector Ma make his fortune?"
