After ten years undercover, I'm giving up.

Chapter 53: One phone call breaks through defenses.

Let alone being promoted to superintendent.

Once this recording is released, it's questionable whether she can stay in the police force.

Fang Jiexia was so angry that her fingertips trembled. Without the slightest hesitation, she immediately took out her phone and dialed Ma Zhichao.

"Feed~~"

Soon, Ma Zhichao's lazy, irritating voice came through the receiver.

Fang Jiexia practically spat out the three words through gritted teeth: "Ma, Zhi, Chao!"

"Oh, so it's Madam Fang?"

Ma Zhichao's tone was light and even slightly amused: "So impulsive? Who upset you?"

"Take my advice: it's bad for a woman's health if she's too hot-tempered; it can easily cause endocrine disorders."

"Ma Zhichao!"

Fang Jiexia suppressed her simmering anger and casually turned on the call recording function.

She demanded coldly, "Tell me, what exactly do you intend to do with that cassette tape?"

Ma Zhichao asked innocently, "Audio tape? What audio tape?"

"I don't understand what you're saying."

"..."

Hey!

Fang Jiexia's blood pressure nearly spiked to the ceiling on the spot.

dog!

This man is a complete scoundrel!

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and asked, "Where are you right now?"

Ma Zhichao casually replied, "The Grand Hotel, room 708."

Fang Jiexia: "%%#￥%#&……"

on purpose.

That bastard definitely dug a pit for her beforehand, just waiting for her to jump in!

Of course she knows she's beautiful.

But is it really necessary to arrange the location so hastily?

On the other end of the phone, Ma Zhichao chuckled softly: "Congratulations in advance to Madam Fang, you're about to be promoted to superintendent."

Superintendent...

These two words were like a needle, piercing Fang Jiexia's heart.

She remained silent for a long while before finally gritting her teeth and saying, "Okay."

"You just wait."

……

Cointreau Hotel.

Room 708.

When Fang Jiexia pushed the door open, she was burning with anger, her chest heaving, and her eyes were as cold as knives.

She stared intently at Ma Zhichao and said bluntly, "I'll give you 100,000."

"Now, immediately, destroy that recording."

"One hundred thousand?"

Ma Zhichao looked at her with a half-smile, his tone full of disdain: "Fang Madam, do you think I'm short of money?"

"Now that you're here, I think you should know the answer in your heart."

"But don't worry, I'm a reasonable person and I never like to force people to do things against their will."

"If you don't want to, turn around and leave now. I won't stop you."

"You? Reasonable?"

Fang Jiexia's eyes widened as if she had heard the biggest joke of the year.

How dare such a shameless bastard claim to be reasonable?

His face must be welded with steel plates!

Ma Zhichao leaned back on the sofa and said with a faint smile, "I still remember the first time we met."

"Back then, the look in your eyes was filled with undisguised disdain."

"That condescending attitude is like looking at a bedbug in a sewer."

Fang Jiexia did not refute.

Because that was truly what she was thinking at the time.

Undercover?

In her eyes, it was nothing but garbage mixed in with mud, and bedbugs that couldn't stand the light of day.

Not just undercover agents.

She looked down on even ordinary police officers.

In Fang Jiexia's view, these people have a ceiling to their careers, and no matter how hard they try their whole lives, it will be difficult for them to truly turn their lives around.

The most typical example is Chan Ka-kui from West Kowloon.

Many cases were solved, but a lot of trouble was also caused.

In the public relations department, Chan Ka-kui was already a notorious headache.

Fang Jiexia has never liked this kind of person.

The only people she truly cared about were the elites who started as probationary inspectors right from the beginning of their employment.

Those are the people who have a future.

But she never expected that in less than half a month...

Ma Zhichao, the undercover "bug" she once looked down upon, actually rose to the position of senior superintendent.

He even gained real power, becoming the head of the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit.

The smile in Ma Zhichao's eyes slowly faded.

"I've remembered it ever since you looked at me like that."

"One day, I will pull you down from above."

"Then stomp on them again."

Is someone who holds a grudge and seeks revenge?

That's right.

I, Ma, am just that vengeful!

Fang Jiexia gritted her teeth in anger: "So you resort to such despicable means to threaten me? Have you no shame?"

Ma Zhichao sneered: "When it comes to being despicable, I wouldn't dare compare myself to you self-important people."

"Nobody's clean, so nobody should act all innocent."

"So don't look at me with that victim mentality, it's pointless."

Fang Jiexia: "..."

Ma Zhichao raised his wrist and glanced at the time.

"Ten minutes."

"I'll give you ten minutes to think about it."

"I've said it before, I never force anyone."

Fang Jiexia: "..."

She was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder.

But unfortunately, she had absolutely no way to deal with Ma Zhichao.

In fact, she had already made her choice the moment she stepped into this guest room.

How could a woman like her, who values her career above all else, just stand by and watch the opportunity she has worked so hard for over the years be destroyed?

A moment later, Fang Jiexia closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her voice was extremely cold.

"it is good."

"I agree."

"But only this once!"

It's okay.

Just think of it as being bitten by a rabid dog.

Ma Zhichao smiled slightly: "It's a pleasure working with you."

Fang Jiexia coldly reminded him, "That recording, and any copies you may have, must all be destroyed."

Ma Zhichao agreed very readily: "Don't worry, I guarantee it with my own integrity."

……

Two hours later.

Fang Jiexia sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes slightly vacant.

It's all over.

Logically speaking, she should be wishing she could tear Ma Zhichao to pieces right now.

Strangely, the hatred in her heart wasn't as intense as she had imagined.

There was even a lingering, complex feeling that she herself was unwilling to admit.

She quickly came to her senses, hurriedly put on her clothes, and turned to glare at Ma Zhichao.

"From this moment on, we have absolutely no connection!"

"Give me the cassette tape!"

"Take it."

Without any hesitation, Ma Zhichao handed over the cassette tape.

Fang Jiexia took the box, her expression turning cold: "Only this one box?"

Ma Zhichao raised one hand and said seriously, "If I kept a second one, may I, Ma Zhichao, be struck by lightning."

This is indeed the truth.

There was indeed only one copy of that cassette tape.

Click!

Fang Jiexia stepped on the cassette tape and smashed it to pieces.

Immediately afterwards, she rushed into the kitchen, turned on the gas stove, and burned all the broken cassette tape fragments into ashes.

After doing all this, she turned around and stared at Ma Zhichao, her eyes almost burning with anger.

"Ma Zhichao, you better not fall into my hands again!"

After saying that, she turned and left, slamming the door shut behind her.

Fang Jiexia stormed out of the hotel in a fit of rage.

Meanwhile, she was already frantically planning various ways to get revenge.

Someday.

She is determined to make Ma Zhichao pay the price for what happened today!

"Ma Zhichao!!"

Ring ring ring~~~

Just then, her phone rang.

The caller was Ma Zhichao.

Fang Jiexia gritted her teeth and answered the phone.

On the other end of the line, Ma Zhichao's tone even carried a hint of apology: "Madam, there's something I'm really sorry about."

"I think I forgot to turn off the video recorder on my end."

"The recording took about half an hour."

"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it."

boom!

Fang Jiexia felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded in her mind, and she almost collapsed on the spot.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

"Ma Zhichao!"

"You shameless bastard!"

"Why don't you just die?!"

Fang Jiexia completely broke down and rushed back to the hotel like a madwoman.

But when she returned to room 708, Ma Zhichao had already vanished.

Only one cleaning lady remained in the room, cleaning the room.

The cleaning lady was looking at her with an indescribably strange expression.

Fang Jiexia felt like she was going crazy.

"Ma Zhichao!"

"You bitch!"

"Scumbag!"

……

the other side.

Ma Zhichao watched from afar as Fang Jiexia stormed back into the hotel in a huff, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

This was definitely a comfortable experience.

Fang Jiexia is the kind of woman who has always maintained an air of superiority.

Now, he has personally pulled her down from her pedestal and trampled her underfoot.

Ring ring ring~~~

Just then, Lok Wai-ching called.

As soon as the call connected, Lok Wai-ching blurted out, "You scumbag, are you free tonight?"

Ma Zhichao said in a nonchalant tone, "Get to the point. I'm very busy."

"I am now a righteous police officer responsible for the safety of all Hong Kong citizens, and I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."

I am Ma Zhichao.

Upright and awe-inspiring!

For a moment, Lok Hye-jung was speechless.

"Okay, okay, you're the greatest, you're the busiest."

"Let's go out for dinner at a street food stall tonight, and you want me to do an interview while we're at it?"

"Get lost, I'm busy!"

After finishing her sentence, Lok Wai-ching hung up the phone immediately.

Ring ring ring~~~

Not long after, Fang Siwei called again.

Her voice softened considerably: "Brother Chao, would it be convenient for you to do an interview?"

"I mainly want to talk about Chen Yongren's past, as the entire Hong Kong public is very concerned about his experiences."

Ma Zhichao agreed without hesitation: "Sure."

"Hotel Cointreau, Room 708".

Fang Siwei paused noticeably on the other end of the phone.

"..."

……

Time flew by, and it was the morning of the next day.

Lok Wai-ching arrived at the TV station early in the morning.

There wasn't any particularly exciting new material in today's morning news, so the news department is still digging deeper into yesterday's content to generate buzz.

She was getting ready to take the chubby photographer out to see if she could dig up some new material.

Suddenly, a gasp came from the direction of the office.

"Quick, turn on the TV!"

"ATV's morning news!"

"It's Ma Zhichao again!"

"ATV has interviewed him again, this time about Chen Yongren!"

"Still Fang's way of thinking!"

"Why is it always her who interviews Ma Zhichao?"

"I think these two are definitely not simple!"

"I'm so envious! Miss Fang is my goddess!"

"Since she's your goddess, remember to give Officer Ma more gifts."

"roll!!"
