Hong Kong variety show: An undercover agent from Infernal Affairs? I'm not human anymore!

Page 175

It's probably some kind of demon or monster!

Ma Zhichao produced a document titled "Undercover Treatment Reform Plan," which Liang Xiaorou personally drafted. Then, he conscripted Raymond and Uncle Biao to polish it.

"I'm a former undercover agent, so I need to fight for the legitimate interests of undercover agents..."

"First of all, there's the issue of treatment during undercover work. Undercover agents are only paid 1.3 times the salary of regular police officers? I think it should be at least 3 times to be reasonable, considering they're risking their lives..."

"Secondly, promotions after returning to the police force should not be based solely on merit; hard work and dedication should also be considered, since everyone risks their lives for their cause..."

"Then, after they return to the police force, we should be more lenient with the issue of surveillance and investigation, giving them enough time to adapt to police life, reducing surveillance and investigation, and prohibiting unfounded accusations..."

Ma Zhichao listed eight points at length.

They even gave it a name—Undercover Agent New Eight!

From now on, whenever the undercover agent mentions Inspector Ma, he will think of the new eight rules for undercover agents and be grateful to Inspector Ma.

Twenty minutes later, Ma Zhichao finished speaking.

"That concludes my presentation. I am now formally submitting this proposal to the Police Department. I hope everyone will carefully consider and discuss it, and provide their feedback..."

Can you offer your opinion?

This is practically a coup!

All the senior executives looked at Charles, the top leader, to see his reaction.

However, Charles smiled and nodded: "Okay, there are a few proposals in the middle of the month, we'll discuss them together then!"

The senior executives: "…………"

Hey bro, you're being too soft! Stand up to him! He's challenging your authority!

"Mid-month? I'm afraid that won't work..."

Ma Zhichao smiled and said, "Director, I'm afraid many undercover agents are starting to get emotional. If my proposal isn't passed and promulgated quickly, I'm afraid they'll rebel."

Threat!

This is an increasingly imminent threat!

The senior executives felt that Ma Zhichao was challenging the authority of the top leader!

A mere Chief Superintendent, not even an Assistant Commissioner, dares to challenge the authority of the Chief Commissioner? Insubordination!

Brother, stomp him to death!

However, Charles knew in his heart that he had no choice.

Even if I knew that Ma Zhichao had instigated this, what could I do?

Undercover agents are a crucial part of the Hong Kong police force. If an undercover agent were to rebel, the police would become a laughingstock in Hong Kong and internationally.

Ma Zhichao struck at the snake's vital spot, hitting its very Achilles' heel.

Not only could he not punish Ma Zhichao, he had to help him.

"I think Director Ma's proposal is very important and very necessary!"

Charles finally spoke.

"Public Relations Department!"

Brown immediately stood up: "Chief!"

Charles ordered: "The Public Relations Branch must hold a press conference before noon today to announce that, given that the previous 'Undercover Return Management Ordinance' is no longer suitable for the new era, the Police Force will discuss the 'Undercover Treatment Reform Plan' submitted by Commissioner Ma within a month and will definitely give the undercover agents a satisfactory explanation."

Brown: "Yes, sir!"

Charles looked at Ma Zhichao with a look in his eyes: Are you satisfied with this?

Ma Zhichao was naturally dissatisfied and continued, "Regarding the Criminal Intelligence Section's investigation and wiretapping of me based solely on hearsay without any supporting evidence... how will the director handle this?"

Brandon, the head and assistant chief of the Criminal Intelligence Division, changed his expression.

It seems like I've become the scapegoat!

Ma Zhichao clearly received goodwill from the top leader, and instead of pursuing the top leader's responsibility, he turned his attention to himself.

Charles glanced at Brandon and said finally, "Brandon, the head of the Criminal Intelligence Bureau, is guilty of negligence and submitted an erroneous report to his superiors, which constitutes serious dereliction of duty. He is demoted to Chief Superintendent and will no longer serve as the head of the Criminal Intelligence Bureau... Cody, the former deputy head of the Criminal Intelligence Bureau, will temporarily assume the position of head."

They simply shoved a hat down on Brandon's head.

Charles decided to investigate Ma Zhichao after reviewing the investigation materials from the Political Department.

However, the Political Department was set to disband next year, and since half of its members were under the command of the Grand Commander, it was not to be trifled with. Therefore, Charles directly targeted the Criminal Intelligence Section. To prevent instability within the Criminal Intelligence Section, his deputy was promoted to maintain internal stability.

"????"

Brandon was so angry he almost vomited blood! He'd been made a scapegoat! Damn it, the political department was the one who did it, what did it have to do with him, Brandon?!

Meanwhile, Brandon's henchman Cody was overjoyed: Power has fallen from the sky! Damn, this is awesome!

That Ma Zhichao is awesome!

Thank you, Officer Ma, for the generous gift!

Ma Zhichao smiled and said, "Thank you, Director!"

The goal is achieved!

It embarrassed the top guy!

It enhanced his prestige!

They fired the head of the Criminal Intelligence Division!

I even took the opportunity to propose an undercover operation, which would surely make the undercover agents even more grateful to me in the future. If I were to suffer any more 'grievances' in the future, I could continue to use the undercover agent banner to humiliate the higher-ups.

This undercover agent is damn useful!

Charles stood up expressionlessly: "Alright, meeting adjourned..."

Just get up and leave.

The high-ranking officials then dispersed, forming small groups, whispering amongst themselves, their eyes occasionally glancing at the back of Ma Zhichao, who was walking at the front.

The meeting is over.

However, after this meeting, everyone realized that Ma Zhichao was not someone to be underestimated!

Their influence skyrocketed!

"Director Ma, wait a minute..."

Brown, the head of the public relations department, quickly caught up with Ma Zhichao and was very polite to him.

"Director Ma, do you have any suggestions regarding the press conference before noon?"

Ma Zhichao waved his hand: "No, Mr. Brown, please make yourself at home."

……

11:00

The police held a press conference.

At the meeting, the deputy head of the Public Relations Department personally took the stage to report and conduct interviews with media reporters from all over Hong Kong.

First, the spokesperson reported on the investigation into Ma Zhichao, stating the reasons (the Criminal Intelligence Section made unfounded accusations, and the director was misled), then apologized to Ma Zhichao, and then punished him (the head of the Criminal Intelligence Section was demoted).

Then, regarding the treatment of undercover agents, the spokesperson said that the Commissioner had realized the loopholes in the old version of the "Undercover Agents Return Management Ordinance" and said that Ma Zhichao had proposed a "Reform Plan" which would be discussed by the Police Force within a month and a final result would be reached. Undercover agents can rest assured.

……

noon,

With Lam Tai-heng's consent, ATV's midday news program gave a positive and comprehensive report on Ma Chi-chiu's story.

Good afternoon, everyone in Hong Kong...

"First, let's look at the first news item: This morning, Inspector Ma Zhichao (Ma Sir) strongly criticized the police force regarding the issue of him being wiretapped and the reinstatement of an undercover agent..."

"Regarding this matter, ATV sent reporters to interview citizens on the street..."

"Citizen 1: Officer Ma is definitely innocent. Just think about how many crimes Officer Ma has cracked down on..."

Citizen 2: I support Inspector Ma...

"Citizen 3: I really sympathize with the undercover agent; the undercover work is truly miserable..."

"Based on the street interviews above, the public and viewers expressed great sympathy for Inspector Ma and the undercover agent, while also expressing strong dissatisfaction with the police force's actions..."

"Now for a new news report, also about Inspector Ma Chi-Chiu. A press conference was held by the Police Force at 11:00 AM..."

"The head of the Criminal Intelligence Division has been demoted..."

"Meanwhile, Inspector Ma submitted a 'Reform Plan for Undercover Agents,' which is expected to be promulgated within a month, improving the treatment of undercover agents and addressing various issues after their reinstatement..."

The broadcast of the news on ATV's midday news program sparked a strong reaction throughout Hong Kong.

The citizens naturally praised the police force for its swift response.

Those undercover agents felt a surge of emotion after watching the news.

"Officer Ma is so kind!"

"Our benefits have finally improved, and suddenly we are more looking forward to being reinstated."

"We look forward to Mr. Ma's proposal being passed soon."

Hundreds or even thousands of undercover agents throughout Hong Kong are now deeply grateful to Ma Zhichao.

Political Department

Political Secretary Steven called Yang Jinrong to his office.

"Yang, you've seen the news, right?"
