After ten years undercover, I'm giving up.

Not long after.

Fang Jiexia received instructions from her superiors in the Public Relations Department.

There is only one task.

Get Ma Zhichao under control.

As for Liang Ziwei, she was demoted one level by her superiors because of a blunder at the last press conference.

The former chief inspector was promoted to senior inspector.

Fang Jiexia and Liang Ziwei had always been secretly competing with each other in the public relations department.

Both of them had been keeping an eye on the superintendent's location for a long time.

But now it seems that Liang Ziwei has basically been eliminated.

If Fang Jiexia can resolve the trouble with Ma Zhichao, her chances of being promoted to superintendent will naturally increase significantly.

With great anticipation, Fang Jiexia quickly left the police station and went directly to Asia Television.

The person she was looking for was Fang Siwei.

……

……

at the same time.

In a secluded residence in an outlying island district.

Ma Zhichao was sitting on the sofa, checking the system interface.

[Host: Ma Zhichao]

[Summoned Units: Tianyangsheng's Seven Siblings, and Several Assassins]

[Skill: Warden's Combat Power Card]

Current mood score: 7437

Since the news broke, his emotional value has been steadily increasing.

Raymond, Chan Ka-kui, Uncle Biu, Man Kin-yan, Stephen Chow, Ah-long...

These people all contributed something to him, to varying degrees.

However, the numbers are not large; they are mostly small, scattered gains such as adding one, two, or three.

The real big spender was Wu Shaoxiong.

Over there, the numbers kept jumping up and down: 99, 99, 99.

While this harvesting efficiency isn't as exciting as Han Chen's "meat grinder," it's stable and can produce continuously.

At the current rate, I should be able to accumulate 10,000 emotion points by tomorrow at the latest.

Ring ring ring—

Just then, my phone rang.

Ma Zhichao answered the call casually.

Fang Siwei's voice came through the phone: "Brother Chao..."

Ma Zhichao asked, "What's wrong?"

Fang Siwei said, "A madam named Fang Jiexia wants to see you."

"Give her the phone."

Soon, another woman's voice came through the receiver.

"Hello, Ma Zhichao, Officer Ma."

"I am Fang Jiexia, Senior Inspector of the Public Relations Department."

"My superiors assigned me to communicate with Inspector Ma about matters related to his return to the police force."

"Would it be convenient for you, Officer Ma, to suggest a meeting place?"

Ma Zhichao replied in a flat tone, even with a hint of sarcasm: "It's inconvenient."

"How do I know if you're planning another trap?"

"My current situation is very simple."

"The police held a press conference, publicly reinstated my police officer status in front of all the media in Hong Kong, and cleared my name."

"impossible."

Fang Jiexia refused without even thinking.

This time, the core principle within the police force is to suppress the impact as much as possible.

Should they hold a public press conference to admit their mistakes?

Such a thing is absolutely impossible.

"Then there's no need to continue talking."

Ma Zhichao chuckled softly.

Fang Jiexia suppressed her emotions and tried her best to make her voice sound sincere: "Inspector Ma, you can make any other requests besides this one."

"We are open to discussion as long as it's within reasonable limits."

Ma Zhichao scoffed, "You think I can just bring it up?"

"Then I want to sit in the number one position, is that okay?"

Fang Jiexia: "..."

She was almost speechless after hearing that.

After a few seconds, her tone became noticeably more impatient: "Officer Ma, please be serious."

Ma Zhichao replied slowly, "Then let's choose another one. I want you."

Upon hearing this, Fang Jiexia instantly became furious.

"You're dreaming!"

"roll!"

Who is she?

She has always had a high opinion of herself.

He entered the police force as a top student and started as a probationary inspector.

In just a few years, she rose to the position of senior inspector.

And what about Ma Zhichao?

What kind of decent background could someone who would be sent to infiltrate a gang have?

Ultimately, it's just the lowest level of the grassroots.

Minor character.

Small shrimp.

Normally, Fang Jiexia wouldn't even bother to glance at such a person.

But now, this guy actually dares to ask for her?

In Fang Jiexia's view, this was not flirting at all.

This is an insult.

That's offensive!

Ma Zhichao gave a cold laugh: "Then it seems we really can't reach an agreement."

See you in the news.

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Fang Jiexia gripped her phone, her chest heaving with anger, almost breaking down on the spot.

She wanted nothing more than to throw the phone away and never speak to that bastard Ma Zhichao again.

But the orders from above have already been issued.

If she doesn't want to be dragged into this mess, or even follow in Liang Ziwei's footsteps, she must appease Ma Zhichao.

After leaving the ATV building, Fang Jiexia specifically sought out a quiet place.

She didn't want to be photographed by those unscrupulous reporters and then have a bunch of messy news stories made up.

Soon, she arrived at the rooftop terrace.

There was no one around.

Fang Jiexia took a deep breath and dialed Ma Zhichao's number again.

As soon as the call connected, Ma Zhichao's annoying voice came through.

"Fang Madam, what's wrong? Have you figured it out?"

Fang Jiexia forcibly suppressed her anger and said in a deep voice, "Officer Ma, I understand you have grievances in your heart. I can take what you said just now as a momentary impulse."

Ma Zhichao said calmly, "You've misunderstood. That wasn't an impulsive act."

Fang Jiexia held back for a long time before she managed not to curse at anyone on the spot.

"Officer Ma, please be serious."

"You are also an excellent police officer, you shouldn't talk like that."

"Please feel free to tell me what your reasonable demands are."

"I will try my best to agree to the decisions I can make."

"If I can't make a decision, I'll report it to my superiors."

"Is this okay?"

Ma Zhichao chuckled: "You don't even have the sincerity to hold a press conference to give me justice, how can I trust you?"

"What if I go back and you guys use me as a scapegoat again?"

Fang Jiexia lowered her stance this time, and her tone softened.

"The press conference is too sensitive."

"The police are already under a lot of public pressure, so we can only try to handle this matter discreetly."

Ma Zhichao pondered for a moment before saying, "Then let's publish it in the newspaper."

"Ming Pao, Ta Kung Pao, and Oriental Daily News."

"Tomorrow's front page will publicly acknowledge my police officer status and explain the situation to the public."

"Should this work?"

Fang Jiexia paused for a few seconds before replying, "I need to consult with my superiors first."

Three minutes later.

She called back.

"The higher-ups have approved it."

"You will see the relevant statement on the front page of the newspaper tomorrow morning."

Ma Zhichao chuckled and said, "Then let's talk about it tomorrow."

……

the next day.

As expected, the three newspapers, Ming Pao, Ta Kung Pao, and Oriental Daily News, simultaneously published the police statement on their front pages.

In the statement, the police officially confirmed Ma Zhichao's identity as a police officer and expressed their apologies to the public.

Wait until evening.

Fang Jiexia finally met Ma Zhichao in person.

However, the meeting place almost caused her to have a mental breakdown on the spot.

Bolan Street.

A nightclub.

Upon hearing the address, Fang Jiexia almost didn't want to come.

This kind of chaotic and murky place was nothing short of mental pollution to her.

But she had no choice.

She is a person with a strong desire for power.

If you want a promotion, you have to suppress this matter skillfully.

The deadline given to the Public Relations Branch by the Commissioner of Police is tomorrow.

This must be resolved as soon as possible.

Soon, Fang Jiexia walked into the nightclub, ignoring the ambiguous and strange looks from the men and women around her.

She arrived at the door of a private room following the number given to her by Ma Zhichao.

The moment Fang Jiexia pushed the door open, she immediately frowned and covered her nose with her hand.

Inside the private room, the smell of smoke and alcohol mingled together, giving people headaches.

The stereo was turned up to its maximum volume, making my eardrums vibrate.

A group of scantily clad, brightly dressed women were inside, wildly swaying their hips to the music.

Ma Zhichao, on the other hand, sat arrogantly in the center of the sofa.

Wearing a suit.

Her hair was styled perfectly.

He looked clean and handsome, yet he possessed an inexplicable air of wickedness.

"Ma, Zhi, Chao!"

Fang Jiexia was so angry when she saw him like this that she felt her teeth itch.

Where is the image of the haggard, red-eyed, and disheveled undercover agent from the interview video?

As soon as Ma Zhichao saw her, he immediately stood up with a look of surprise and delight.

"Oh dear, Madam has arrived!"
