After ten years undercover, I'm giving up.

Not long after, Fang Jiexia called.

After answering the call, Ma Zhichao said with a smile, "Superintendent Fang, you're already concerned about me?"

"Concerned about you?" Fang Jiexia's voice was full of sarcasm. "You're overthinking it. I just called to see you make a fool of yourself."

"It's great to see that someone as despicable and shameless as you has finally been exposed."

Don't be fooled by her soft words when she's being manipulated by Ma Zhichao in private; she can still be incredibly venomous when she speaks out normally.

Ma Zhichao, however, didn't seem to care at all, and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, this little storm can't bring me down."

Fang Jiexia sneered: "Ha."

She hung up the phone immediately after speaking.

Ma Zhichao originally thought that this round of harassing phone calls should finally stop.

Unexpectedly, another call came in that surprised him.

The caller was May.

She is Chen Yongren's ex-girlfriend.

As soon as the call connected, May's apologetic voice came through: "Mr. Ma, I'm sorry, I just saw today's newspaper."

"I really didn't expect that this matter would get you involved."

"I'm so sorry..."

Ma Zhichao said calmly, "It's nothing. It's their business what the newspapers want to write."

May felt he was just comforting her, and felt even more guilty.

She has even begun to consider whether she should personally step forward and clarify the truth of what happened last night.

After that, Ma Zhichao's phone kept ringing.

Stephen Chow called to say that a lot of reporters had arrived at the West Kowloon Police Station and that it would be best for him not to go there directly for the time being.

Chan Ka-kui also called, asking if he needed help.

Liang Xiaorou also called to inquire about her situation.

As for people like Jin Dazui and Wen Jianren, they all called one after another, one trying to get close to him and the other flattering him, their attitudes more enthusiastic than anyone else's.

……

……

Not long after, Ma Zhichao drove to the West Kowloon Headquarters.

At this moment, a group of newspaper reporters who were relatively close by had already gathered outside the police station gate.

They carried cameras and voice recorders, standing guard at the door, waiting to ambush Ma Zhichao.

"They're here!"

"Ma Zhichao's car is here!"

I don't know who had the sharp eyes, but they shouted it out immediately.

The next second, a group of reporters swarmed around the car like sharks smelling blood, blocking it completely.

However, before they could get too close, Stephen Chow and Chan Ka-kui led a large group of Serious Crimes Unit officers out from inside.

The crowd forcefully pushed the reporters aside and helped Ma Zhichao into the police station.

The reporters immediately became dissatisfied, their eyes filled with resentment.

Many people have already decided on tomorrow's headline.

Ma Zhichao refuses to comment, seemingly trying to avoid the interview out of guilt!

"The Crime Buster's Silence in Front of the Camera: Innocence or Acquittal?"

at the same time.

Deputy Director Philip also went to Edmund's office.

As soon as he entered the room, he said, "Director, Ma Zhichao has caused such a huge public outcry this time. We can take this opportunity to give him a good beating."

Although the outside world was unaware of the details of the failed attempt to secure credit at Lion Rock last time, the news had already spread throughout the police station.

Many police officers privately mocked him.

Therefore, Philip is extremely unhappy with Ma Zhichao now.

Edmund was leisurely trimming the flowers and plants, without even looking up.

"beat?"

"Based on a few out-of-context photos and a baseless report, I'm going to reprimand a senior superintendent?"

"And he's the head of our West Kowloon Major Crimes Unit?"

His tone still carried that so-called tolerance and magnanimity of someone in a superior position.

the reason is simple.

Edmund had already secretly made arrangements to transfer from West Kowloon to East Kowloon.

Although East Kowloon is not as bustling as West Kowloon, its jurisdiction is several times larger and is not bad either.

Anyway, there are still four years before Hong Kong Island undergoes a major transformation.

Four years is enough time for him to move to another place, make enough money, and then leave.

……

10:00 AM.

Lok Wai-ching appeared as promised.

The location was the same as always.

Cointreau Hotel, Room 708.

"Oh, didn't you say you weren't coming?"

This time, Ma Zhichao didn't immediately launch a critical attack like before; instead, he started by verbally engaging her.

"Weren't you so tough? Why did you finally come?"

Come on.

They're hurting each other.

Let's see who can be more infuriating!

As he spoke, Ma Zhichao deliberately glanced at her up and down, his tone teasing: "Hey, not wearing protective gear today?"

Le Huizhen was so angry her teeth itched: "Ma Zhichao, don't go too far!"

Ma Zhichao said smugly, "I went too far, what can you do about it?"

Directly attack in the face.

Faced with this reality, Yue Huizhen could only grit her teeth and endure it, angrily saying, "Fine, you just wait and see, I'll drain you dry today!"

Two hours later.

Lok Wai-ching lay on the bed, her eyes somewhat vacant, lost in a deep doubt about life.

She turned to look at Ma Zhichao, who was in a state of deep contemplation, and became increasingly angry.

The next second, she raised her beautiful leg and kicked the person off the bed.

"It's all your fault, you bastard!"

"I was hoping to finish the interview before noon, but you, you beast, have dragged it out for so long!"

"Time is completely messed up now!"

Since getting entangled with Ma Zhichao, she has clearly felt that she has been swearing more.

She used to be such a lady!

After all that fuss, the two finally got to the proper interview segment.

However, Lok Wai-ching's clothes were already half-damaged, so she was forced to conduct a half-body interview.

Fortunately, the camera was mainly focused on Ma Zhichao, so she herself didn't need to appear on camera too much.

At this moment, Ma Zhichao sat upright in front of the camera, his back straight and his expression calm.

He looked dignified and upright, as if nothing had happened.

He slowly began to speak: "The actual situation regarding last night is as follows."

"I received a call for help from a friend who told me that members of a gang had come to her shop to harass her and even vandalized it..."

Ma Zhichao gave a brief account of what happened last night.

Of course, he naturally made some artistic embellishments to the part about the physical alteration.

"Actually, when I was a child, I also used to set up a stall outside with my family to make a living."

"Back then, we were also harassed and threatened by members of triads."

"So from a very young age, a thought was planted in my mind."

"One day in the future, I will definitely crack down on organized crime and eliminate evil forces, so that ordinary citizens can have a peaceful and stable living environment."

"My ten years of undercover work thereafter allowed me to witness firsthand just how rampant gangs and criminal organizations can be."

"The deeper I went into the darkness, the more I understood how helpless ordinary citizens were in the face of these people."

"And that's why I'm even more determined in my beliefs."

"I will fight crime, I will fight triads, and I will use all my abilities to protect the citizens of Hong Kong Island."

Ma Zhichao spoke these words with force and conviction.

His eyes were glistening with tears, and his voice carried a heavy weight, a result of having experienced darkness.

Combined with his tragic experience as an undercover agent over the past decade, the emotional impact is instantly maximized.

Even Lok Hye-jung couldn't help but get a little teary-eyed as she listened.

Even though this guy is a jerk!

He's a pervert!

He's an infuriating scumbag!

But deep in his heart, it seems, there really is a heart that shines like a diamond.

On camera, Ma Zhichao continued, "This time, my friend was repeatedly extorted by several gangs."

"Not only were the shops vandalized, but the children were also frightened and injured."

"Those people even threatened to burn her shop down."

"This is not an isolated case."

"It is just a microcosm of the reality on Hong Kong Island."

"Similar things happen every day in many corners of this city."

"I believe that many ordinary citizens have experienced this sense of powerlessness to varying degrees."

At this point, Ma Zhichao's tone suddenly softened.

"Because I've been caught in the rain."

"So I want to hold an umbrella for others."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took advantage of Yue Huizhen's inattention and secretly applied some onion juice to the corner of his eye.

The next second, tears streamed down her cheeks.

The emotions are genuine.

The scene was moving.

Lok Hye-jung: "..."

Give me back the emotion I just felt, you bastard!

The interview lasted for another ten minutes or so before finally ending smoothly.

After putting away the equipment, Yue Huizhen couldn't help but ask, "Who was that woman from last night?"

Women, you know.

She'll get jealous eventually.

Ma Zhichao didn't hide anything and casually replied, "Chen Yongren's ex-girlfriend."

"What?"

Lok Hye-ching clearly hadn't expected this answer and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"It was her?"

Ma Zhichao nodded: "It's her."

"She's raising her daughter alone now, with no one to rely on."

"They were being extorted by several gangs in turn, and they couldn't take it anymore, so they called me."

After saying that, he added sincerely, "Don't worry, I'm a very narrow-minded person."

"This room can only fit one woman, you."

Upon hearing this, Yue Huizhen couldn't help but feel a little happy.

Not long after, the hotel manager also delivered the newly purchased clothes.

Lok Wai-ching quickly changed her clothes, picked up the equipment, and headed outside.

"I'm leaving now!"

After saying that, she left without looking back.

How heartless.

……

in the afternoon.

Fang Siwei also arrived.

The location remains the same: Room 708 of the Cointreau Hotel.

As soon as she entered the room, the tip of her nose twitched slightly.

There seemed to be a strange smell in the air.

"???"

"What does this taste like?"

Ma Zhichao's expression was extremely serious: "I don't know."

"It was probably left behind by the last guest when they left."

As he said this, he frowned in obvious displeasure.

"Sigh, the service quality of these hotels is getting worse and worse these days."

"The hygiene management is absolutely outrageous!"

Finally, he even gave a righteous and stern critique of the hotel management.

hotel:"……"

I have a few words I want to say, but I don't know if I should.

……

……

Six p.m.

TVB and ATV news broadcasts started on time.

Soon, footage of Ma Zhichao being interviewed appeared on the television screen.

After hearing his explanation, many viewers in Hong Kong couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

"Officer Ma..."

"Waaah, I misunderstood him before!"
