After ten years undercover, I'm giving up.

Not to mention, in the footage released by TVB last night, Ma Zhichao's gun skills were simply superhuman.

They pushed forward, clearing out the area as they went.

Those originally fierce and ruthless arms dealers were completely outmatched by him.

This genuine fighting strength has truly won over many Hong Kong Island residents.

……

……

Early the next morning.

With half a pineapple bun dangling from his mouth, Ma Zhichao drove slowly to the police station.

As soon as I entered, the police officers along the way greeted me.

"Officer Ma!"

"Good morning, Officer Ma!"

"Officer Ma, thank you for your hard work!"

Compared to the reaction after the last case was solved, this time the public's attitude towards him was clearly on a higher level.

Many police officers looked at him with more than just envy; their gazes were now filled with obvious admiration and fervor.

Some people couldn't resist coming up to ask, "Officer Ma, are you short-staffed in the Major Crimes Unit lately?"

"Officer Ma, I graduated from the police academy in '88, ranking thirteenth. I wonder if there's any chance I could apply to be transferred to your unit?"

"Officer Ma, I'd like to work for you too..."

Ma Zhichao wore a warm smile and nodded in response the whole way, his demeanor perfectly poised.

Before long, he entered the Major Crimes Unit's office area.

"Hey, boss!"

A figure practically pounced over.

The man held a cup of coffee in his hand and, with utmost respect, presented it directly to Ma Zhichao.

Everyone instinctively looked over.

who is it?

Stephen Chow?

I rub!

wrong!

It was Wen Jianren!

Many officers in the office couldn't help but rub their eyes, wondering if they were hallucinating from staying up all night.

But upon closer inspection...

That's right.

It's Mr. Man, the leader of Group B!

Stephen Chow was originally about to rush up and fawn over her, but he was a step too slow and Wen Jianren beat him to it, which made him grit his teeth in anger.

"leave!"

"This loser beat me to it!"

Wen Jianren, however, completely disregarded what others thought and fawned over Ma Zhichao.

"Inspector Ma, when you first came to the Major Crimes Unit, I was blind and didn't realize that you were so brilliant, capable of solving cases, and possessed both wisdom and courage."

"Today, in front of everyone, I, Wen Jianren, sincerely apologize to you."

"I hope you'll be magnanimous and not hold a grudge against someone as insignificant as me."

They spoke humbly, but in their hearts they were calculating everything.

She first grabbed Ma Zhichao's leg.

Meanwhile, they continued to send messages to Director Edmund.

Double line betting.

He won't lose money no matter which side wins.

"Emotions from Wen Jianren +45..."

Ma Zhichao accepted the coffee with a smile and patted Wen Jianren on the shoulder.

"Since Inspector Man has said so, then from now on we're all on the same side."

Damn it.

Is the person magnanimous?

Yesterday, the fact that the anti-triad member Philip managed to get close to Lion Rock was most likely because you, you bastard, leaked the information!

If you weren't still somewhat useful and could be used to fund future cases, I would have sent you to meet Jesus long ago.

At this moment, Dong Biao and Liang Xiaorou walked over, both sporting noticeable dark circles under their eyes.

Holding a document in her hands, Liang Xiaorou said, "Boss, the report on last night's operation has been compiled. Please take a look."

Ma Zhichao asked, "Was all of the brothers' performance last night written down?"

Liang Xiaorou nodded: "I wrote them all down. I also highlighted a few outstanding employees and helped them apply for awards."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of all the officers in the Major Crimes Unit lit up.

"Thank you so much, sir!"

"Thank you, Officer Ma!"

"Ah-tou, you're like my own father!"

The group of people looked at Ma Zhichao with eyes full of gratitude.

With such a big case, coupled with the credit for the previous case at Mingxin Hospital, many junior officers have a chance to be promoted.

Senior officers are even more likely to be promoted directly to sergeant.

It can be said that Ma Zhichao's reputation in the Major Crimes Unit has reached an unprecedented level.

Ma Zhichao casually took the operation report and said, "I'll keep the report here for now."

"Everyone worked hard all night last night, so don't push yourselves too hard today."

"Go back and rest, and recharge your energy."

Everyone responded in unison, "Yes, sir!"

Then, cheers erupted in the office.

"Long live Ah Tou!"

"Officer Ma is so kind and compassionate!"

The worship value and respect value soared.

Dong Biao stood by and watched this scene, only able to manage a wry smile.

After so many years of working in the Major Crimes Unit, the prestige he and Raymond had gradually built up was probably no longer comparable to that of Ma Zhichao.

It must be admitted that Ma Zhichao's personal charm is truly outrageous.

How could someone like that have been assigned to be an undercover agent back then?

What a waste!

Dong Biao couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

Soon, the officers from the Major Crimes Unit left one after another.

Some went home to sleep.

Some people make plans to go out and relax.

Ma Zhichao, of course, had no intention of staying in the office any longer and wasting his time.

He was just about to go out for a break when he picked up the phone and dialed Fang Jiexia's number.

"Do you have time? Let's go on a date."

On the other end of the phone, Fang Jiexia's reply was crisp and decisive: "Get lost!"

Ma Zhichao casually uttered two words: "Video recording."

Fang Jiexia: "..."

The next second, she gritted her teeth and cursed, "Scumbag! Bitch!"

Ma Zhichao smiled and said, "See you at the Landmark Commercial Centre in Central in twenty minutes."

We're not going to a hotel this time.

Ma Zhichao is not that kind of vulgar person.

Half an hour later.

Sure enough, Ma Zhichao and Fang Jiexia were spotted strolling side by side inside the Landmark in Central.

Under the threat of that video, Fang Jiexia had no choice but to continue operating.

He had a smile on his face.

She kept calling him "husband".

In her heart, she wished she could tear Ma Zhichao to pieces on the spot.

One wrong step and you'll regret it for a thousand years!

Halfway through her shopping trip, Fang Jiexia suddenly stopped and said, "I'm going to the restroom."

Ma Zhichao waved his hand: "Go ahead."

As soon as Fang Jiexia left, Ma Zhichao stood still and took the opportunity to look around the Central Landmark.

It has to be said, this shopping mall is indeed huge.

The flow of people is really strong.

This area used to be the territory of Jardine Matheson.

However, Jardine Matheson had already withdrawn from Hong Kong Island by the 1980s.

I wonder who the boss behind it is now.

Ok……

If it's a Western-owned industry, then maybe I can make a quick buck if the opportunity arises.

Just as Ma Zhichao was pondering these messy things, a passionate voice suddenly rang out.

"Hello, Superintendent Ma."

A foreigner in his prime walked up to him with a very polite smile on his face.

When Ma Zhichao saw foreigners, he instinctively felt a bit disgusted and completely ignored them.

The other person took the initiative to introduce himself: "My name is Craven, and I am the head of the Political Department's Action Group."

As he spoke, Craven extended his hand, clearly wanting to shake hands with Ma Zhichao.

"..."

Ma Zhichao acted as if he hadn't seen anything, continuing to look up and examine the interior structure of the mall, still plotting in his mind how to stir up some trouble in the future.

Craven could only awkwardly withdraw his hand.

He coughed and continued, "Officer Ma, I wonder if you're available now? There's something I'd like to discuss with you."

Ma Zhichao didn't even turn his head: "It's inconvenient."

"..."

Craven's smile froze for a moment, but quickly returned.

"Ma Sir, the reason our Special Branch came here this time is actually to give you an even greater credit."

Ma Zhichao said expressionlessly, "Not interested."

"..."

Craven's expression finally started to betray him.

However, for a senior superintendent like him to make a special trip from the police force to the Landmark in Central to intercept Ma Chi-chiu, he certainly wasn't just bored.

Ultimately, it's because they can't bear to part with Uncle Hai's contribution to this major case.

He couldn't just stand by and watch the West Kowloon Major Crimes Unit swallow such a large piece of meat by himself.

So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue the conversation.

"Officer Ma, don't be in such a hurry to refuse."

"This matter is actually beneficial to you, to me, and to both departments."

Ma Zhichao did not respond.

Craven then continued speaking to himself.

"Here's what happened. After our former assistant director in the political department was killed in the explosion, the entire political department has been investigating this lead."

"Yesterday, we successfully captured Guan Hai, the mastermind of the 'Hai Shu Arms Group'."

"At the same time, we also obtained some information about his crimes."

"Originally, we planned to follow up on Guan Hai's trail and carry out follow-up operations to take down his arms depot in one fell swoop."

"I just didn't expect that your West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit would be even more efficient and take down the warehouse first."

At this point, Craven's smile became even more friendly.

"We're all from within the police force; there's no need to cause unpleasantness over a little bit of credit, right?"

"So the political department's thinking is very simple."

"We will combine the cases from both sides for processing."

"Your Major Crimes Unit and our Political Department will share the fruits of this achievement."

"Officer Ma, what do you think?"

Ma Zhichao pursed his lips: "Not so good."

Craven quickly continued to persuade him, "Mr. Ma, you may not have fully understood the benefits of merging cases."

"Once the two cases are combined, the entire chain of events is complete."

"There is a mastermind behind it all, an arms depot, and a serious criminal background involving the murder of a former assistant commissioner and chief superintendent."

"The combined merit of these things is definitely greater than that of breaking into an armory alone."

Ma Zhichao finally turned his attention to Craven.

A cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Do you think I'd believe such nonsense?"

Craven's eyes narrowed slightly.

Ma Zhichao continued, "Those who offer unsolicited kindness are either up to no good or are thieves."

"Your political department certainly doesn't have enough evidence to definitively convict that so-called Uncle Hai."

"Otherwise, you would have already taken the whole case yourselves, why would you have come all the way here to discuss it with me?"

"Besides, if you really had the crucial clues, would it be our Major Crimes Unit's turn to raid the arms depot?"

"Oh."

Ma Zhichao sneered, his tone full of sarcasm.

"I think you guys only thought of using Guan Hai, whose identity hasn't been confirmed yet, to take advantage of the fact that we've already broken into the armory."

"That sounds nice, it's a merger and cooperation."

"To put it bluntly, isn't this just blatantly stealing credit?"

Craven was immediately startled.

This Ma Zhichao...

The reaction was surprisingly fast?
