After ten years undercover, I'm giving up.

"Take this and memorize it."

Hong Jipeng raised his hand and tossed a stack of papers in front of Wu Shaoxiong.

"Getting ready to start work, recording a video."

Wu Shaoxiong bent down to pick up the manuscript and glanced at it a few times.

The contents of the document revealed his extreme dissatisfaction with the police's lenient punishment.

He also declared that he would act on behalf of God and personally send Smith and Scott to their deaths!

Upon seeing these lines, Wu Shaoxiong felt his scalp tingle.

"Kill Smith?"

"You still want to kill Scott?"

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Hong Jipeng with a face full of horror.

"Are you all out of your minds?"

"Those are two former assistant commissioners, now chief superintendents!"

"Just who are you?"

"Just how big of a game are you guys trying to play?!"

In that instant, Wu Shaoxiong finally realized that he seemed to have been kicked into a bottomless pit.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this group of people were absolutely insane.

It's one thing to go head-to-head with the entire police force for no reason, but to actually kill two former assistant commissioners of police?

"What are you all trying to achieve by going through all this trouble?"

"You're all ruthless thugs. If you really want to make money, why don't you rob jewelry stores or banks? Why do you have to fight the police to the death?"

Wu Shaoxiong really couldn't understand it.

But Hong Jipeng looked at him seriously and said calmly, "Who said we're challenging the police?"

"Haven't you always been the one publicly taking the lead?"

Wu Shaoxiong: "..."

It seems... there's really nothing wrong with it!

After all, the "culprit" now on the table is indeed Wu Shaoxiong.

Damn it!

Isn't this just using him as a live target?

Wu Shaoxiong knew perfectly well that, given his current situation, he had no right to resist.

Moreover, if he could actually kill Smith and Scott, he wouldn't entirely find it unacceptable.

After all, when he was at his lowest point, those two bastards not only stole his money but also took his woman.

She almost committed the crime right in front of him.

Thinking this, Wu Shaoxiong's eyes hardened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Fine!"

"Then I'll go crazy with you guys and turn this whole show upside down!"

Not long after, he sat down in front of the video recorder.

The moment the camera lit up, Wu Shaoxiong's eyes immediately reddened, his face filled with grief and indignation, and he began to denounce the police for covering up and condoning the crime.

In the video, he claimed that it was Smith and Scott who instructed him to frame Chen Yongren.

After the deed was done, the two men swallowed up all his wealth and even took his wife by force.

Since the police refused to truly punish them, he, a wronged man driven to the brink, had no choice but to take matters into his own hands and seek justice!

After the recording is completed.

On that day, Wu Shaoxiong had an extra serving of abalone rice with each of his three meals.

As he ate, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

A ruthless bandit is a ruthless bandit.

But these people still have some humanity at least!

……

Not long after, Hong Jipeng got in touch with Ma Zhichao.

He whispered to his supervisor, "Boss, the video recording is complete."

"Should we deal with Wu Shaoxiong's situation now?"

On the other end of the phone, Ma Zhichao said calmly, "No rush."

"Take Wu Shaoxiong and hide for now."

"Once Smith and Scott are dead, I'll step in and kill Wu Shaoxiong, and then I'll take credit for it."

"..."

Hong Jipeng's eyes widened in surprise.

What the hell!

So that's what the boss was really planning!

At that moment, he felt completely enlightened.

He used to feel that there were some aspects he hadn't figured out, but now he finally understands them completely.

That boss is so cunning...

cough cough.

So wise and brilliant!

Hong Jipeng suddenly realized that he still had a lot to learn in the future.

Ma Zhichao said calmly, "Alright, proceed according to plan."

"Send Smith and Scott away."

Hong Jipeng immediately replied, "Understood, boss!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Zhichao added, "And one more thing."

"Don't use your own channels to buy bombs; buy them from outside."

"You can go find that Uncle Hai."

"At that time, this will be considered another achievement."

"..."

Hong Jipeng fell silent again.

He realized that the gap between himself and his boss was indeed not just a matter of firepower.

He still needs time to learn the tricks of framing someone.

After a moment, he replied, "No problem, boss."

As if remembering something, Ma Zhichao continued to remind him, "Don't rush to move."

"Three days later, Chen Yongren will move into Haoyuan."

"Wait until his matter is officially settled before taking action; don't steal the spotlight from the news."

Hong Jipeng immediately nodded: "Okay, boss!"

He said he had learned something new from this experience.

……

Time flies, and three days have passed.

Haoyuan Cemetery.

Not long after dawn, reporters from all major media outlets in Hong Kong rushed over from different directions.

Everyone was waiting at the scene, just to capture the moment when Chen Yongren moved into Haoyuan.

Today, the name Chen Yongren has become the hottest news label in Hong Kong.

Countless citizens are paying close attention to the follow-up arrangements after his reputation is restored.

Meanwhile, the undercover police officers still hiding in the shadows are also keeping a close eye on how this matter unfolds.

This time, the police made a very grand ceremony for Chen Yongren's burial at the Grand Garden.

The top leader attended in person.

In addition, eight deputy commissioners, senior assistant commissioners, and other senior police officers of the assistant commissioner level also attended.

In addition, there were two hundred police officers lined up.

The lineup can be described as top-notch.

As a key figure in the whole incident, Ma Zhichao naturally had no reason to be absent.

Just then, Fang Jiexia walked to his side and whispered a reminder: "Mr. Ma, you'd better watch your words when you're facing the media in the future."

"Stop intentionally inciting public sentiment against the police."

Ma Zhichao smiled gently: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at Fang Jiexia.

"I heard Inspector Fang is getting promoted to Superintendent in five days? Congratulations in advance!"

Upon hearing about the promotion, Fang Jiexia's mood improved considerably.

She smiled slightly: "It seems that Inspector Ma's information network is really good."

Ma Zhichao chuckled along.

"However, don't get too excited yet."

Fang Jiexia: "???"

Her expression changed slightly, and she immediately stared at Ma Zhichao warily.

Ma Zhichao took a cassette tape out of his pocket and handed it over.

"Find a secluded spot and listen to it by yourself."

Fang Jiexia felt a sense of foreboding rising in her heart.

She reached out and took the tape, her eyes darkening.

It was at this moment that...

"salute!!!"

Swish~~~

All the police officers on the scene moved in unison, raising their hands in salute.

Chen Yongren's "coffin" was brought to the scene.

Somber funeral music slowly began to play.

Reporters raised their cameras and video recorders to capture the entire scene.

Ma Zhichao's gaze slowly swept across the edge of the crowd.

Soon, he spotted Chen Yongren's ex-girlfriend, May, in the crowd.

May was holding a little girl in her arms.

Fang Jiexia noticed his gaze and looked in the same direction, quickly spotting May and her daughter.

She couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Is she Chen Yongren's ex-girlfriend?"

Ma Zhichao replied indifferently, "None of your business."

Fang Jiexia: "..."

Subsequently, senior police officials began taking turns giving interviews to the media.

The reporters on site asked increasingly tricky questions, showing almost no politeness whatsoever.

"Has the police found Chen Yongren's daughter?"

"If his daughter has been confirmed to be alive, will the compensation be given to the child?"

"Why didn't Smith and Scott, as key figures in this incident, show up today?"

"Are they afraid to come, or do they feel ashamed to face me?"

"The police held such a grand ceremony, yet they didn't truly punish those responsible behind the scenes. Isn't this just going through the motions?"

The police chiefs looked grim as they were questioned, but they could only suppress their anger.

Soon, it was Ma Zhichao's turn to be interviewed.

Ma Zhichao immediately activated the Onion Hand skill.

The next second, his eyes reddened, his expression was grief-stricken, and he looked like he was about to collapse.

Seeing this, the reporters softened their tone and even began to comfort him.

"Officer Ma, you've done a great job."

"You've been an undercover agent for ten years, it must have been tough for you, Officer Ma."

"Officer Ma, could you tell us about Chan Wing-yan's past?"

Ma Zhichao only said a few words before he seemed too overwhelmed with grief to continue and ended the interview on his own initiative.

The reporters were immediately extremely anxious.

What all Hong Kong citizens want to see most right now is Chen Yongren's past experiences!

If a book on this topic were published at this time, its sales would probably explode!

Not far away, Yue Huizhen and Fang Siwei looked at Ma Zhichao's red-eyed appearance, and the same thought popped into their minds at almost the same time.

Should we do an in-depth interview with him tonight?

Wouldn't that give us plenty of time?

……

That noon.

TVB and ATV reported almost simultaneously in their midday news that Chan Wing-yan's "body" had been moved to the Hall of Fame Cemetery.

After this news was broadcast, it garnered another wave of tears from the entire Hong Kong population.

Meanwhile, Fang Jiexia found a secluded corner and took out the cassette tape that Ma Zhichao had given her.

The recording started playing soon.

The sound coming from inside made her freeze in place.

"—Inspector Ma, you should know how difficult it is for an ordinary police officer to be promoted to inspector. The fact that you've been directly promoted to inspector is already considered a great favor."

"Ten years! Do you know how I survived those ten years as an undercover agent? How many times did I almost lose my life? Every day I lived in constant fear, afraid that my identity would be exposed and I would be killed on the spot..."

"Why is it that people like you, who just joined the police force, can become inspectors?"

"—Inspector Ma, I've seen your profile. Your educational background isn't particularly high; you also graduated from the Wong Chuk Hang Police Academy..."

"—I understand. In your eyes, undercover agents like us are just a bunch of trash. And you people are all born with a silver spoon in your mouths, the chosen ones!"

"In the end, you never considered your undercover agents as your own people; you just treated us as tools to be used and discarded!"

"I know you're resentful, but you have to look forward. If you make unreasonable demands now, what will your superiors think of you? Take my advice, sometimes suffering a loss is a blessing in disguise."

Hearing this, Fang Jiexia felt as if she had been hit hard in the head.

She was about to explode.

crazy!

This is really driving me crazy!

A chill ran down the back of her neck and up to the top of her head, making her scalp tingle.

If this recording is released at this critical juncture...

Unfortunately, this happened to coincide with the height of public outcry surrounding the Chen Yongren incident.

Then Fang Jiexia will definitely be completely nailed down!
