After ten years undercover, I'm giving up.

Many of these police officers may never reach the level of Chief Superintendent even by the time they retire.

Ma Zhichao, on the other hand, crossed it with ease, as if he were riding a rocket.

Soon after, the television station continued broadcasting Ma Zhichao's remarks during a follow-up interview with reporters after the press conference.

"Many ordinary citizens are still being harassed by gangs and criminal organizations, but they cannot get effective protection in time."

"If justice is always delayed, then it is no longer true justice."

"I founded Umbrella Property to do everything I can to protect those citizens who are powerless to resist and are isolated and helpless."

Ma Zhichao has contributed yet another memorable quote.

Many citizens watching on television cheered upon hearing this.

"Well said! What kind of justice is it if it comes too late?"

"What Inspector Ma said really resonated with me. These days, gangs are too arrogant, and criminal groups are becoming more and more reckless. We ordinary people are often bullied, but when we report it to the police, most of the time it just ends up being ignored."

"My shop was vandalized last time. The police came, registered the incident, and then nothing happened."

"The police are often not very effective in dealing with those gangs."

"Heh, I think this is a mess that the foreigners deliberately left behind. They'll be leaving in four years, so of course they'd love for Hong Kong to be as chaotic as possible."

It is precisely because many citizens have suffered this kind of hardship that Ma Zhichao's words resonated with them so quickly.

Their goodwill towards Ma Zhichao also increased once again.

"Mr. Ma is really outspoken, straightforward, and genuine. That's what makes a good cop."

"He truly hasn't forgotten his roots. Even after rising to such a high position, he still remembers us ordinary citizens."

"They're much better than those councilors and high-ranking officials. Those people talk about working for the benefit of the citizens every day, but behind the scenes it's all about exchanging favors. They claim to be doing what's best for everyone, but in reality it's all business."

"Because I got caught in the rain myself, I wanted to hold an umbrella for others... Officer Ma is truly commendable!"

"Hong Kong Island needs more police officers like Inspector Ma."

"Protective Property Management, the name sounds reassuring, as if it's specifically designed to shield ordinary people from the wind and rain."

With the broadcast of this news, the Umbrella Property Company's reputation had already spread throughout Hong Kong before it had even officially achieved anything.

Many of the bolder shop owners in West Kowloon, who had long been bullied by triads to the point of desperation, have begun to proactively call to inquire.

They hope that Umbrella Corporation can truly protect them from those gangs.

On this day, Umbrella Property officially opened.

The phone rang almost from morning till night.

In the evening, Tian Yangsi compiled the data for the day.

On the first day of the company's opening, a total of 53 property management intention orders were received.

Moreover, all of these orders came from the West Kowloon area.

Good start!

……

……

Ma Zhichao's home.

The seven siblings, including Tian Yangsheng and Tian Yangsi, were all gathered in the living room.

Tian Yangsi reported to his supervisor with the compiled data: "Boss, we received a total of fifty-three orders today."

"There are regular shops, small shopping malls, factories, and several film crews have also come to visit."

"However, these orders are scattered, which may cause some trouble in subsequent management."

Ma Zhichao nodded: "It's just the beginning. No one's going to have it all smooth sailing from the start."

"You guys lack experience right now, so this order is a good opportunity for you to practice."

The seven siblings of Tian Yangsheng responded in unison, "Yes, boss."

Ma Zhichao continued, "But you must remember, small-scale operations are never our ultimate goal."

"What we really need to do is attract more gangsters to join the Umbrella organization and slowly encroach on the original living space of other gangs."

"As the protective umbrella grows bigger and bigger, we will eventually bring hundreds of thousands of gangsters in Hong Kong under our control."

"As long as the benefits are shared enough to make them willing to work for us, our influence may even surpass that of the police force."

"If it really comes to that, we will have the right to speak with our heads held high, even in front of the Grand Commander."

The seven siblings of Tian Yangsheng straightened up and nodded in unison, "Understood, boss!"

Ma Zhichao added, "Also, the company's shares will be distributed in this way from now on."

"I own 30%."

"Each of you seven siblings will receive one-tenth."

In reality, the seven siblings of Tian Yangsheng were extremely loyal to him, and Ma Zhichao didn't need to rely on shares to bind them at all.

However, Ma Zhichao has always liked to have a few backup plans for the future.

Distributing shares makes it easier to create problems later.

He continued, "If anyone tries to bribe you to betray me in the future, don't hesitate."

"When the other party makes a price, you should agree to it without hesitation."

"I want to see just who's trying to harm me."

The seven siblings of Tian Yangsheng: "..."

The boss truly lives up to his reputation.

Every step you take creates ten pitfalls.

Subsequently, Ma Zhichao redeemed another 500 loyal followers from the system and handed them over to Tian Yangsheng and his seven siblings for unified deployment.

After making those arrangements, he asked, "How are the five hundred people we planted in the various gangs doing now?"

Tian Yangsi immediately replied, "They've all been injected."

"Among them, the Hung Hing, Tung Sing, and Wo Luen Shing triads had the most people planted."

Ma Zhichao nodded in satisfaction: "Very good."

"Then let's get them moving."

"The first step is to raise the protection fees of all the major gangs."

"Once those businesses can't take it anymore, they will naturally turn to us for protection."

"The second step is to arrange for a few people to slip some goods to those gangs."

"Once we have enough evidence, I'll personally lead a team to sweep the area and take out another group of people while we're at it."

"The third step is to have brothers lurking in different gangs stir up trouble and create friction between each other."

"Let them fight like dogs, the more chaotic the better."

As the saying goes, the referee is mine, the referee is mine, and the association is mine too.

What can you use to fight me?

Upon hearing this, the seven siblings of Tian Yangsheng's eyes lit up, and excited smiles appeared on their lips.

They've already started to get ready.

Ready to officially begin construction!

……

With the broadcast of Ma Zhichao's interview, all the large and small triads in Hong Kong were alarmed.

……

Hung Hing.

BOOM!

Inside Jiang Tiansheng's villa.

Hung Hing leader Chiang Tin-sang slammed his hand on the table, his face dark and frightening, and immediately began to curse.

"What exactly is this guy surnamed Ma trying to do?"

"Can't he just be a good cop?"

"Why bother with a property management company?"

"Isn't this blatantly trying to steal our club's livelihood?"

"You damn bastard!"

All are not fools.

They saw through Ma Zhichao's trick immediately.

This guy is clearly eyeing the gang's protection money business.

Protection fees, on a single basis, don't seem like an exorbitant amount.

Its strength lies in its long-term stability and steady, gradual growth.

This is almost the most basic and stable source of income for the organization.

A large number of gangsters under him live off this.

"What kind of protective umbrella?"

"What kind of property management?"

"To put it bluntly, isn't it just a new club disguised as a company?"

"Damn it, a mere cop wants to learn from us and collect protection money?"

"Don't you even know the rules?"

"You want a good reputation, and you want your money too? Damn, you're even more ruthless than our gang!"

Jiang Tiansheng became increasingly angry as he continued to curse.

Finally, he picked up the phone and called over Chen Yao, the White Paper Fan of Hung Hing.

Chen Yao was a veteran of the Hung Hing triad, always responsible for devising strategies and considered a strategist within the organization.

Not long after, Chen Yao arrived at the villa.

"Mr. Jiang, this Superintendent Ma is clearly not someone to mess with."

"He has a very tough style of doing things, and now that he's a chief superintendent, he really has power."

On the way here, Chen Yao had already thought the whole thing through.

Finally, he gave his conclusion.

"We're afraid we can't beat him."

Ma Zhichao was, after all, a member of the police force.

And now he has been promoted to Chief Superintendent.

The next step up is Assistant Commissioner of Police.

Moving up the ranks, one progresses to senior assistant director, deputy director, and may even eventually reach the top position.

This kind of person is already considered a big shot who has stepped into the inner circle of power.

What they hold in their hands is the power to truly mobilize resources.

What can these gangs, which operate in the gray and black market, do to confront these kinds of people head-on?

Suppressing his anger, Jiang Tiansheng asked coldly, "Then tell me, what should we do now?"

After a moment of contemplation, Chen Yao began to analyze: "Ma Zhichao is currently serving as the Deputy Director of West Kowloon, and our Hung Hing has quite a bit of territory in West Kowloon."

"There's a guy named Lung Kwan in Mong Kok."

"Po Lan Street, that's Thirteen Sister."

"There's Prince Edward in Tsim Sha Tsui."

"There are also beautiful moms near Sham Shui Po..."

At this point, Chen Yao himself felt a headache coming on.

Damn it.

I wouldn't know unless I counted.

Hung Hing's influence in West Kowloon is quite substantial!

There's no way to avoid Ma Zhichao!
