After ten years undercover, I'm giving up.

Steve said, "Director Cai, you should know very well that you are currently only a Senior Assistant Commissioner. Above you are two Deputy Commissioners of Police. It won't be easy to directly become the Commissioner of Police."

Cai Yuanqi smiled and clinked glasses with Steve: "That's why we need to unite more forces even more."

Cai Yuanqi was unwilling to wait until after 97.

Because he was afraid of that point in time and dared not gamble with his future.

Therefore, he must do everything in his power to win the top spot in this term.

Joining forces with the political department would greatly increase his chances of winning.

After all, what exactly is the Political Department?

Nominally, it is a department under the police force.

In reality, however, it only obeys the Grand Commander.

It was only because the Special Branch needed law enforcement power that it was stuffed into the police force system, which is how this deformed monster came to be.

When police officers in Hong Kong are handling cases, their expressions immediately change whenever they hear that the Special Branch is going to intervene.

Why?

Because the Political Department is the last thing they want to provoke.

If one can obtain the support of the Political Department, it is equivalent to gaining the favor of the Grand Commander.

His chances of becoming the top leader will definitely increase dramatically.

Steve said slowly, "Gaining the support of the Political Department isn't as simple as you think. As you know, we're facing a huge upheaval right now..."

Cai Yuanqi said, "It's alright, I'll take responsibility."

Steve continued, "The Political Department will go into hiding, and all information will be blocked..."

Cai Yuanqi nodded: "I will fully cooperate."

"After the Special Branch goes into hiding, all agents' salaries and expenses must be allocated from the police force under a legitimate and reasonable pretext..."

"I'll find a way to solve it."

"Anyone who cooperates with the Political Department must become one of their own..."

"From now on, I'm one of them."

"Over the next two years, all agents in the Political Department will gradually leave their original departments under various pretexts such as sacrifice or death..."

"Don't worry, I'll help you with that."

"Hahaha~~~ Great, it's a pleasure doing business with you!"

"It's a pleasure working with you!"

Ding~~~~

The wine glasses clinked together gently.

The deal has been officially completed.

A secret department, so hidden that it leaves no trace of its existence, and which will cause headaches for the government for decades to come, yet for which no information can be found, was quietly established.

……

three days later.

The Chief Secretary for Administration of Hong Kong Island held a press conference to officially announce the appointment of the Commissioner of Police.

Cai Yuanqi!!

Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police Choi Yuen-ki was directly promoted to become the new Commissioner of Police.

The top police officer in Hong Kong!

As soon as the news broke, the name Cai Yuanqi spread throughout Hong Kong Island.

Director Cai!

Choi I-ge!

After taking office, Director Cai also demonstrated extraordinary skill.

On the one hand, he suppressed two senior assistant directors, and on the other hand, he promoted people from his own faction.

At the same time, he also secretly cooperated with the political department's "dissolution" operation.

As for the gangs and ruthless criminals, he also launched a massive ten-day operation, arresting many of their henchmen.

Among them were Yip Kai-foon's underlings, the professor's underlings, and Brother Nam's underlings.

These three gangs of thugs were forced to flee with their buckets before they could even officially begin the kidnapping and extortion.

Cheung Tze-keung and Yip Kai-foon: "..."

Professor, Little Bird: "..."

Nan Ge and Ah Hu: "..."

They were all about to take action when the new commissioner of police, upon taking office, arrested his underlings first.

The action plan was aborted before it even began!

Several groups of people boarded a boat and secretly slipped away to Haojiang.

Gazing towards Hong Kong Island, they all vowed in their hearts, "I will be back!!"

……

……

Twenty days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Under the leadership of the new Commissioner of Police, Choi Yuen-ki, the entire Hong Kong Police Force operates efficiently, cracking down on triads and apprehending criminals.

Cases of robbing armored trucks and kidnapping for ransom seem to have vanished all at once.

Hong Kong Island seems to have returned to its former prosperity and security.

Cai Yuanqi's reputation also rose day by day.

He suddenly became a celebrity.

Of course, many citizens also began to speculate about conspiracy theories and whisper among themselves:

"Could it be that Cai Yuanqi himself orchestrated those kidnappers?"

This is similar to what they suspected three or four months ago, when they suspected that Wu Shaoxiong and Johnny Wang were both people created by Ma Zhichao.

……

……

For the next twenty days, Ma Zhichao temporarily put aside his desire to continue working on cases.

There are two reasons.

First, it will be very difficult for him to get promoted again in the short term.

Secondly, he's now busy figuring out how to launder his dirty money!

The movie "Infernal Affairs" is about to be released!

Indeed, Infernal Affairs was completed even faster than John Wick, something even Ma Zhichao hadn't expected.

But then I thought about it again, the Infernal Affairs crew had two directors, one of whom was the quick-draw director Wong Jing.

Then everything seemed to make sense again.

After the release of "Infernal Affairs", the next products to be promoted and launched are "New Era Soda" and "New Era Suit".

The "New Era Suit" was also an important part of Ma Zhichao's plan to target Lin's Clothing and acquire ATV.

Therefore, he attached great importance to this matter.

……

Inside the Umbrella Corporation.

Fatty Wang and Director Liu showed the finished film of "Infernal Affairs".

Ma Zhichao, Tian Yangsheng, Tian Yangsi, and others sat aside and watched together.

Following Ma Zhichao's instructions, this version of "Infernal Affairs" made many adjustments to the original plot.

Liu Jianming remained unchanged, so in the film, Liu Jianming was directly changed to Lin Guoping.

Originally, Ma Zhichao wanted to pin the blame on Yang Jinrong.

However, the timeline didn't seem to fit, so we had to give up.

In addition, most of Chen Yongren's scenes were transferred to the character "Ma Zhichao", which vividly highlighted the heavy burden that Ma Sir carried when he went undercover!

As for Chen Yongren, he became a very minor supporting character.

Where is this "Infernal Affairs" anymore?

It's clearly an autobiography of "Infernal Affairs: Inspector Ma's Carrying the Burden".

As expected of Inspector Ma, he's got a really thick skin!

(Chen Yongren: "..." You really are a dog!)

(Han Chen and Huang Zhicheng were rolling in their graves: "Let me out! I'm going to kill this despicable bastard!")

More than an hour later, the full video finished playing.

Tian Yangsi's face was filled with surprise.

Even Tian Yangsheng, who has a stoic face, showed a rare change in expression.

This movie is really good.

Of course, besides the good plot itself, the guy in it is also a bit insane.

First, there's the guy in the suit.

For example, when Wong Chi-shing and Inspector Ma, the character played by Chow Yun-fat, meet on the rooftop, they are both wearing black suits.

For example, the scene where Ma Sir gets up and puts on a suit looks incredibly cool.

For example, when the Han Chen Group mobilized, everyone was dressed in black suits, exuding a powerful aura. Even the short and stout actor Zeng looked cool and domineering in the "new era black suit."

Then came the soft drink guy.

On the rooftop, I want to drink "New Era Coke"...

Before and after a fight, you have to drink "New Era Cola"...

When the atmosphere becomes tense, continue drinking "New Era Cola"...

Even while eating, they still drink "New Era Cola"...

GG is blatantly shoved right in your face.

An hour and a half later, the movie ended.

Ma Zhichao smiled and nodded: "Not bad."

"There's enough GG."

Throughout the entire film, besides the tense and moving plot that highlights Ma Sir's arduous journey, the most eye-catching element is undoubtedly the blatant product placement of "New Era Soda" and "New Era Suit".

Throughout the film, there are over 150 instances of scenes involving soda and suits that result in awkward moments.

The extent of this penetration is absolutely outrageous!

After receiving praise from Ma Zhichao, Fatty Wang finally felt relieved.

Next, we'll discuss the release schedule.

Ma Zhichao personally called the owners of Golden Harvest Cinemas, Golden Princess Cinemas, and Shaw Brothers Cinemas.

These three companies are the three most important cinema chains in Hong Kong, covering 90% of cinemas.

He arranged to meet with each of the business owners separately.

After finishing the call, Ma Zhichao looked up at Tian Yangsheng and said, "We can get started now."

Tian Yangsheng immediately understood and nodded, saying, "I'll make the arrangements now."

After saying that, he left the office and began to take action.

Last month, Ma Zhichao had already instructed Tian Yangsheng to plant many spies within Coca-Cola and PepsiCo.
