After ten years undercover, I'm giving up.

"I deserve to die! Inspector Ma is such a good person, how could I have suspected him of being a bad guy!"

"I never imagined that Inspector Ma suffered such hardships as a child. Isn't he just like us ordinary citizens?"

"Yeah, who hasn't been bullied by club members a few times when they were a kid?"

"It was because Inspector Ma personally experienced that kind of frustration that he became a police officer, then went undercover, and today he has become a true crime fighter!"

"He didn't just talk the talk; he truly protects us ordinary people with his actions!"

"Because I've been caught in the rain, I want to hold an umbrella for others... This sentence really resonates with me."

"Waaaaah, I'm so crying!"

At that moment, countless Hong Kong Island citizens were deeply moved by Ma Zhichao's interview.

Especially those more sentimental women, seeing Ma Sir on TV with tears in his eyes, cried their eyes out.

Ma Zhichao was bullied by gangs back then.

Most ordinary citizens have also experienced similar helplessness, anger and frustration to varying degrees during their growth.

Therefore, they are very empathetic.

But Ma Zhichao was different from them.

They could only swallow their anger back then.

Ma Zhichao, however, chose to resist.

He became a policeman.

Go undercover.

Now they stand on the front lines, fighting crime with all their might.

If this isn't a hero, then what is?

As for whether he was too ruthless.

Did they beat those gangsters too badly?

Were all the benches broken?

The citizens didn't find anything wrong with these issues; on the contrary, they felt that this version of Ma Zhichao was more authentic.

He doesn't resemble a perfect statue high above.

They are more like real people living among them, people who get angry, act impulsively, and protect the weak.

Ma Zhichao's reputation in Hong Kong: +1 +1 +1 +1...

This time, the Oriental Daily's exposé did not cause Ma Zhichao to fall from grace; on the contrary, it boosted his reputation even further.

All of this was exactly what Ma Zhichao had anticipated.

After all, this kind of public opinion reversal tactic is an old trick that others have already used in the 21st century.

What use is reputation?

If Ma Zhichao wants to pursue a business career or even move further into politics in the future, then prestige will be essential.

Reputation is equivalent to popularity.

With the right people around, things will go much more smoothly.

……

……

at the same time.

Political Department.

Minister Steven watched the interview with Ma Zhichao on TV, but he didn't believe a single punctuation mark.

He has already had all of Ma Zhichao's information collected.

The more information he looked at, the more certain he became of one thing.

This Ma Zhichao is definitely not some simple, righteous policeman.

This person is a complete black sheep within the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Suddenly, an idea popped into Steven's mind.

Wu Shaoxiong vs. Ma Zhichao!

Why did Wu Shaoxiong kill Smith and Scott?

Ultimately, isn't it just because the two sides have a grudge and want revenge?

Within the police force, there happened to be another person who also harbored a deep-seated hatred for Wu Shaoxiong.

Ma Zhichao!

Steven was already very dissatisfied with Ma Zhichao.

The last time he tried to take the opportunity to punish Ma Zhichao, Edmund refused outright, and this incident has been bothering him ever since.

Now is the perfect time to take advantage of Wu Shaoxiong's momentum and push Ma Zhichao to the forefront.

Let's teach this arrogant Chinese police superintendent a lesson he won't forget.

If Wu Shaoxiong could really take down Ma Zhichao as well, that would be perfect.

Hong Kong Island doesn't need such attention-seeking Chinese people!

Steven quickly dialed Cai Yuanqi's number.

Coincidentally, he knew very well that Cai Yuanqi also disliked Ma Zhichao.

The two hit it off.

The collaboration was achieved instantly.

The plan is simple.

By pushing Ma Zhichao to the forefront and making him a target, Wu Shaoxiong was forced to take the initiative!

Wu Shaoxiong: I'm still tied up right now, how am I supposed to kill someone?

……

……

the other side.

On Ma Zhichao's side, Tian Yangsi was earnestly reporting his thoughts to him.

"Boss, I've discussed this plan with my older brother and the others."

"Everyone feels that there is actually a lot of room for manipulation when it comes to protection fees."

Ma Zhichao immediately became interested: "Tell me in more detail."

After organizing his thoughts, Tian Yangsi said, "This is what I think."

"Boss, your public image is now one of light, justice, and greatness."

"So we certainly can't tarnish your reputation."

"Setting up a gang directly is definitely not appropriate. How about we change to a more legitimate name and open a security company..."

"etc."

Ma Zhichao raised his hand to interrupt her.

"Security company?"

"This name is too ordinary, and it doesn't sound sophisticated enough."

Tianyang was taken aback for a moment: "Huh?"

Ma Zhichao waved his hand: "It's alright, you can continue."

Tian Yangsi nodded and continued, "In the early stages, our business was essentially collecting protection money."

"However, we follow the proper procedures, sign contracts, and pay taxes normally."

"That way, it won't affect your public image, boss."

"As for those organizations, we will handle them."

At this point, a cold killing intent flashed in Tian Yangsi's eyes.

"I believe there are very few triads on Hong Kong Island that would dare to disrespect us."

Don't let Tian Yangsi's status as a woman fool you.

But she grew up fighting her way out of a cruel environment.

When it comes to ruthlessness, she is no less ruthless than any man.

After listening, Ma Zhichao shook his head.

"Your vision is still too narrow."

Tian Yangsi: "??"

Ma Zhichao began to give serious advice: "Don't name your company 'Security Company'."

"Too tacky."

"And it sounds a bit unclean."

"To put it another way."

"Call it—the property management company."

Property management in later generations sounds much more sophisticated than ordinary security companies.

Moreover, this industry is ruthless.

Ma Zhichao continued, "From now on, you will sign property management contracts directly with the businesses."

"The contract items may include security, sanitation, fire protection, order maintenance, and so on."

"This way, it's both legitimate and less likely to cause resentment."

"In addition, I can provide you with five hundred to a thousand people with clean identities."

"These people can infiltrate various gangs and be responsible for stirring up trouble, fanning the flames, and creating friction."

"For example, deliberately harassing businesses so that they turn to you for protection."

"We could also try to instigate infighting between the major gangs, and then you could reap the benefits from the chaos."

"If that doesn't work, we can frame someone else."

"When the time is right, I'll personally lead my men to wipe out those gang strongholds in one fell swoop..."

As they talked, Ma Zhichao realized that the plan was very feasible.

His thinking was completely opened up.

Various kinds of bad water began to gush out like a spring.

Tian Yangsi: "..."

*Smack!*

As Ma Zhichao got more and more excited, he slammed his hand on the table.

"good!"

"Asi, for now, you seven siblings should work in this direction."

"The total number of community organizations on Hong Kong Island is at least several hundred thousand."

"Once you've built up your property management company, you'll gradually squeeze out those triads and eventually swallow up most of Hong Kong's property management business."

"At that time, achieving monthly revenue of over 100 million will be no difficult task at all."

"Later, when the time is right, I can recommend you to run for councilor."

"It's not impossible for you to even enter the government system."

Tian Yangsi: "..."

She suddenly felt immense pressure on her shoulders.

Boss, I just wanted to help you make a little money and share some of the expenses at first!

really.

I guess my perspective is too narrow.

The boss truly lives up to his reputation.

His very first words reshaped the landscape of Hong Kong's underworld.

However, thinking of this, Tian Yangsi couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

She suffered a lot from a young age.

If I could become a female legislator in the future, or even rise to a higher position, that would seem like a great thing.

Tianyang's eyes gradually filled with anticipation.

Ma Zhichao continues to teach tirelessly.

wrong.

They are relentless in ruining people.

"Also, the outer packaging must be done well."

"On the surface, your purpose in establishing the company is to protect the citizens of Hong Kong Island and prevent ordinary businesses from being bullied by triads."

"The persona must be portrayed as sufficiently virtuous and righteous."

"We demand justice."

"You need to convince the citizens that you are genuinely doing good deeds."

"But the real purpose is to unify the underground order on Hong Kong Island."

"To bring together and integrate all the hundreds of thousands of gangsters."

"By then, even the Grand Commander will have to be somewhat wary of you."

Tian Yangsi nodded seriously: "I understand, boss."

Ring ring ring~~~

Just then, Ma Zhichao's phone rang.

He looked down and saw that it was Fang Jiexia calling.

After the call connected, Ma Zhichao asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's up?"

Fang Jiexia is the kind of heartless woman who dumps her boyfriend; she would never take the initiative to contact him unless there's something wrong.

The next second, Fang Jiexia's gentle voice, as soft as a spring breeze, came through the phone.

"Brother Chao, are you free right now?"

"Come to the police station..."

Ma Zhichao: "Get out!"

Snapped!

The call was immediately disconnected.
