After ten years undercover, I'm giving up.

Soon, Ma Zhichao opened the audio recording file on his phone.

"—Hello, is this Inspector Wu? When are we going to meet? I'm wanted by the entire city and I can't show my face easily. When are you going to reinstate my identity? You're the only one left who can prove I'm an undercover agent."

"Meet up? Of course, I happen to have something important to discuss with you."

"Shall we go to that Western restaurant where we first met?"

"Thirty minutes later, at No. 36 Changxing Street. There's an abandoned, unfinished building there. Go there and wait for me."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

The recording stopped here.

After listening, Fang Siwei even forgot for a moment that she was feeling a little unwell.

Shocked.

anger.

There was also an indescribable chill.

"That Wu Shaoxiong is utterly despicable, without any moral bottom line!"

Fang Siwei's eyes reddened with anger, and she gritted her teeth as she said, "Don't worry, I will definitely make this public."

"I will help you clear your name!"

"Thank you……"

Before she knew it, Ma Zhichao had gently wrapped his arms around her from behind.

At this moment, it felt like hanging oneself by the hair or pricking one's thigh with an awl.

Fang Siwei's body stiffened abruptly, and she immediately panicked.

"What do you want to do?"

Ma Zhichao whispered in her ear.

"Miss you."

asshole!

Scumbag!

Pooh!

……

It was already 2 p.m. when Fang Siwei finally boarded the ferry leaving Lamma Island.

It's not that she didn't want to leave sooner.

Ma Zhichao is truly a terrible person.

Last night's heated and in-depth exchange left her almost unable to recover.

She stayed indoors for several hours before dragging her sick body away from Lamma Island.

No sooner had Fang Siwei left than Ma Zhichao boarded the yacht and also left the area.

……

Asia Television.

As soon as Fang Siwei returned to the station, he rushed to find the editor-in-chief and reported Ma Zhichao's matter in detail.

"What?"

"Ma Zhichao is an undercover police officer?!"

After hearing this, the editor-in-chief jumped up from his chair on the spot, his eyes wide with shock.

Fang Siwei immediately added, "Boss, Brother Chao... no, Mr. Ma gave me the recording of his conversation with Wu Shaoxiong."

"This recording is enough to prove that Wu Shaoxiong knew Mr. Ma's undercover identity all along!"

The editor-in-chief was too preoccupied with her slightly intimate form of address at this moment.

His face flushed red, and he paced back and forth in the office with excitement.

"Don't rush to conclusions."

"The recording must be sent for professional evaluation immediately."

"First, immediately have the technical department analyze the audio to confirm whether there are any signs of editing or compositing."

"Secondly, it's 4 p.m. now, and there are only two hours left until the 6 p.m. evening news."

"Write the draft right away!"

"As long as the analysis is satisfactory, we'll air it tonight during prime time!"

"I'll handle this!"

At that moment, the editor-in-chief was completely energized.

He couldn't even remember the last time he'd encountered such a thrilling and explosive news story.

When was the last time?

Forget it, it doesn't matter.

This news is absolutely a bombshell that will shake the entire city of Hong Kong!

And it was a shocking scandal within the police force!

ATV absolutely cannot miss news of this caliber.

In recent months, TVB's ratings have consistently outperformed ATV's, and the entire ATV news department has been holding back their anger for a long time.

Now is the chance.

This exclusive story could very well be the key to ATV's comeback!

"I'll go see the chairman right now!"

"Thinking, you did very well this time, extremely well!"

"Thank you, editor-in-chief."

"Also, we must firmly grasp the Ma Zhichao line."

"There's bound to be even bigger news coming; he's at the heart of the whole thing!"

"Don't worry, editor-in-chief, I will continue to follow up."

After praising Fang Siwei a few times, the editor-in-chief quickly left the office to report the situation to the chairman of the TV station.

Meanwhile, Chairman Qiu Daheng had just met TVB's Shao Daheng while having dinner at the Peninsula Hotel yesterday.

I was furious after being insulted by the other party.

Upon hearing the news from the editor-in-chief, he was overjoyed.

There's absolutely no need to think about it.

Make the decision immediately.

It will air tonight!

An hour later, the technical department sent back the evaluation results.

The audio shows no signs of being synthesized.

Based on technical comparison, the voice inside can be basically confirmed to be Wu Shaoxiong himself.

This time.

The entire ATV news department was in complete chaos.

start!

Everyone, get moving immediately!

Tonight's evening news will last for 30 minutes.

They have decided to dedicate twenty minutes to reporting on the Ma Zhichao incident.

As for other news?

Move everyone to the back of the line!

……

……

the other side.

These past few days, Lok Wai-ching has been focusing on Ma Chi-chau's storyline.

She followed him for four consecutive days, and she was almost numb from it.

So she had a flash of inspiration and changed to a new angle.

Street interviews.

Conduct public opinion polls.

Go directly to ordinary citizens and see what their opinions are about Ma Zhichao.

After a busy day, the investigation results were finally compiled.

More than 60% of citizens believe that serious offenders like Ma Zhichao should be sentenced to death.

Nearly 30% of citizens also felt that he should at least be sentenced to life imprisonment and spend his time in jail to atone for his sins.

The results of this questionnaire clearly demonstrate how much ordinary citizens in Hong Kong hate Ma Chi-chiu.

Six p.m.

TVB's evening news started on time.

The first item on the host's report was Lok Wai-ching's street survey and footage of her interviewing passersby during the day.

Watching her interview being broadcast, Lok Wai-ching was exhausted but still felt a sense of accomplishment.

But just then...

"Holy crap!"

"Seriously? Are you crazy?"

"My God, this is outrageous!"

On the other side of the office, several colleagues suddenly screamed in unison.

Lok Hye-jung was taken aback.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Something terrible has happened!"

"It's a complete reversal! This has been totally turned around!"

"Quickly check ATV news! The whole case has taken a dramatic turn!"

"A shocking twist: Ma Zhichao was actually an undercover police officer!"

"What? Ma Zhichao is an undercover agent? You must be kidding me!"

"This is no joke! ATV has already played the recording; it's a phone call between Ng Siu-hung and Ma Chi-chiu!"

"Officer ID 325361!"

"My God, if this is true, the police are going to blow the ceiling open this time!"

"Damn! Such big news, why did ATV get it? And not TVB?"

When his colleagues heard the news, they were all in an uproar.

Lok Wai-ching was also stunned and her mind went blank for a moment.

This news is absolutely outrageous.

It's so outrageous it's like a dream!

At that moment, the entire TVB news department was in complete chaos.

Many people rushed to the TV and quickly switched to ATV's evening news.

……

at the same time.

As evening falls, the night markets on Hong Kong Island gradually come alive.

Shan Lam Road, a famous food street in Tsim Sha Tsui, is bustling with activity at this time.

Countless white-collar workers who had just finished get off work came in twos and threes, ready to have a hot dinner before going home to rest.

Many restaurants and food stalls have televisions hanging on their walls.

Some were broadcasting ATV's evening news.

Some were showing TVB's evening news.

TVB is currently broadcasting street interviews.

The topic is—what kind of punishment should Ma Zhichao receive?

Meanwhile, ATV's camera had already switched to Ma Zhichao's exclusive interview.

The diners who were watching ATV news were initially chatting while eating.

But as they watched, everyone froze.

"Holy crap!"

"What's going on?"

"Ma Zhichao was actually an undercover agent?"

"Really? Are you crazy?"

In an instant, the entire stall erupted in chaos.

The diners were dumbfounded, almost unable to believe what they had just heard.

People at the neighboring stalls heard the commotion and turned to look.

"What undercover agent?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Quick, change the channel! Watch ATV! Big news, holy crap!"

"Ma Zhichao gave an interview, claiming he is an undercover police officer!"

"Damn it, they've all gone mad, completely mad!"

At that moment, ATV News happened to broadcast the recording provided by Ma Zhichao.

—"Ma Zhichao, police officer number 325361. Superintendent Huang Zhicheng has died in the line of duty. The person who will take over his work now is me, Wu Shaoxiong, the head of the Major Crimes Unit... From today onwards, I am your superior."

"Great! I can finally rejoin the police force!"

This moment.

The entire night market was in an uproar.
