After ten years undercover, I'm giving up.

The news quickly spread throughout the entire police station.

All the police officers were in an uproar.

They were all incredibly excited, shouting "Officer Ma is awesome!"

CIB head Cody: "..."

Soon.

Ma Zhichao finally met Cody.

Cody waited for over an hour, but dared not show any dissatisfaction.

She still humbly discussed with Ma Zhichao how to write the report.

In order to preserve some dignity for the Criminal Intelligence Bureau, the unified narrative for the entire operation that day, including the discovery, pursuit, and killing of the criminals, was that the CIB was completely unaware and not present.

The entire project was completed by West Kowloon.

The entire project was undertaken by West Kowloon.

Every police officer who participates in the operation will receive a generous reward.

Until noon.

The action report is basically complete.

Cody finally breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave with gratitude.

Before leaving, he decided to return the favor.

"Officer Ma... thank you for your generosity this time. I'll give you a free piece of information."

"However, this information is only valid within this room. Once I step out of this door, I will not admit to saying it."

Cody looked serious.

So serious?

Ma Zhichao immediately became serious: "What is it?"

Cody lowered his voice: "Someone anonymously reported that you, Officer Ma, have dealings with overseas funds."

"The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is currently investigating you."

Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC)?

Ma Zhichao's face immediately darkened.

……

……

at the same time.

With TVB and ATV sending a large number of reporters to follow, visit, and investigate.

They discovered it quickly.

The scope of Pepsi's "poisoning" this time is very wide.

Moreover, problems started yesterday!

Hospitals across Hong Kong have already admitted several thousand patients suffering from cola poisoning.

These patients initially didn't suspect Pepsi; they simply thought they had eaten something unclean.

When interviewed, a gastroenterologist at a hospital said the following:

"Since yesterday, our hospital has received more than 400 patients with diarrhea."

"There is no connection between these patients, and their distribution and onset time are very random."

"This can be considered a mass poisoning incident, and we have already reported it to the Department of Health."

"We couldn't find a clear reason yesterday."

"Based on your reminder, we re-interviewed the patients and found that they all had one thing in common—they had all drunk Pepsi."

The situation is similar in other hospitals.

Initially, the cause of the poisoning could not be determined.

However, when reporters asked these patients if they had drunk Pepsi, almost all of them said they had.

This is basically confirmed.

The problem lies with Pepsi!

……

noon.

12 points.

TVB and ATV broadcast the large-scale poisoning incident that occurred throughout Hong Kong almost simultaneously.

According to surveys and statistics, 8032 people in Hong Kong have been admitted to hospitals for treatment after drinking Pepsi.

"And the number of citizens suffering from diarrhea who did not go to the hospital may be even greater..."

"Pepsi, as an internationally renowned company, has unexpectedly been embroiled in such a serious quality scandal."

"We hope that Pepsi will come forward as soon as possible and give an explanation to all the citizens of Hong Kong."

The news broke.

The six million citizens of Hong Kong were in an uproar!

"It was Pepsi! Damn it, my son's been on an IV drip at the hospital for ages!"

"My dad's been having nonstop diarrhea; he's practically living in the toilet now!"

"Damn it, I was wondering what I ate wrong, and it turns out it was Pepsi!"

Countless citizens were furious.

The Pepsi guys were caught off guard by TVB and ATV, and ended up in a sorry state.

By the time they tried to suppress the news, it was already too late.

The whole of Hong Kong knows about this.

Moreover, this is a major social medical accident!

Then.

The Food and Drug Administration's complaint hotline was overwhelmed with calls from countless citizens.

The Department of Health acted swiftly, immediately announcing that the Pepsi factory would cease production and be subject to investigation.

At the same time, PepsiCo was ordered to urgently recall all Coca-Cola that had already been sold!

Tens of thousands of people were poisoned.

Pepsi will likely find it difficult to turn things around this time.

……

"Pepsi may not be able to turn things around so easily this time."

At ATV (Asia Television)

Ma Zhichao smiled and said to the other party, "I think this way."

then……

Fang Siwei glared at him fiercely: "Guess who I ran into when I went to do my interviews this morning?"

Ma Zhichao nodded like a scumbag, his face completely indifferent: "I know, you've met Yue Huizhen."

Fang Siwei gritted her teeth in anger: "That's right, it's that little vixen! She said you spent the night at her place last night and even bragged to me that you gave her business worth hundreds of millions!"

Ma Zhichao walked up to Fang Siwei and hugged her from behind: "Actually, I can give you hundreds of millions too."

Fang Siwei was immediately startled: "Really?"

The next second, she suddenly felt something pressing against her from behind.

Ma Zhichao whispered in her ear, "Come on, let's talk about this deal worth hundreds of millions..."

Fang Siwei suddenly felt weak all over.

Damn it!

So that's what "hundreds of millions" means!

That damned bitch, Lok Wai-ching!

……

That evening and at night.

The Pepsi poisoning incident has been repeatedly reported by TVB and ATV news.

……

the next morning.

Major newspapers across Hong Kong followed suit.

After Ma Zhichao's second round of heavy spending, the newspapers' wording became extremely sharp.

Shocking! Pepsi Cola Exposed to Major Quality Issues, Causing Mass Poisoning Across Hong Kong! — Hong Kong Economic Journal

"Hospitals across Hong Kong are overflowing; Pepsi is the culprit!" — Oriental Daily News

"..."

And in the last paragraph of almost all of these reports, a sentence is added casually:

"Coca-Cola was bombed, Pepsi was contaminated... Foreign soft drink brands are no longer trustworthy. Fortunately, Hong Kong Island has its own local soft drink brand – 'New Era Cola' under Ma Sir. Better taste, healthier. Ma Sir's products are always top-notch!"

Immediately following, the second news article was about "New Era Coca-Cola" and the movie "Infernal Affairs".

look.

That's what you call professional!

GG connects seamlessly!

Is it true that we can't drink Pepsi anymore?

Come on, our New Era Coke is pretty good!!

……

As this wave of newspaper bombardment continues.

Sales of "New Era Coca-Cola" began to soar like a rocket.

A tenfold increase!!!

They captured 80% of the Coca-Cola market share in Hong Kong in one fell swoop!

……

……

Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).

Yu Hongsheng's office.

Lu Zhilian walked in carrying a document.

"Inspector Yu, we've basically got a clear picture of Ma Zhichao's situation."

As he spoke, he handed over the documents.

"Currently, Ma Zhichao owns a total of five companies."

"Umbrella Property Company, New Era Film Company, New Era Beverage Company, New Era Suit Company, and Asia Television."

"We have checked his financial situation."

"Among them, the property management companies with protective umbrellas are the most complex."

"This company has over 20,000 employees and involves over 50,000 businesses. It charges businesses under various pretexts such as cleaning fees, security fees, and parking fees, and all of these are based on legal contracts. So far, no problems have been found."

"At the same time, it also involves the salaries of more than 20,000 employees, as well as various other expenses."

"Because this company's financial transactions are small in amount, numerous in number, and frequent, it is difficult to investigate in a short period of time."

"We need to send a dedicated team to investigate for at least a month to get to the bottom of the details."

"New Era Film Company currently has four films in production. It has legal contracts with all the actors."

"The only problem is that the prices of the movie props are a bit too high, which raises suspicions of money laundering."

"But this is difficult to investigate because this kind of operation is a common practice for film companies."

"I consulted a lawyer, who said that this is a difficult area to define."

"No problems have been found with New Era Suits and New Era Beverages so far, and they are operating normally."

"In addition, he has a legal team behind him, the law firm of prominent lawyer Jane Austen. The two sides have a very close relationship."

"But I haven't found out yet why they're so close."

"In addition, I have also checked the seven brothers of Tianyangsheng."

"They're from Myanmar, and none of them are good people."

"However, since they came to Hong Kong Island and followed Ma Zhichao, no illegal or criminal activities have been found among them."

Yu Hongsheng: "..."

They didn't find any major problems?
