Ma Zhichao apologized, "I'm sorry, Officer Kang. After talking with you last night, I thought about it again and again, and I felt that it would be too unfair of me to just let you take the lead. So, in order to reduce your burden, I exposed this case, so that you can have an easier time when handling cases."

Connery: "???"

Oh? Is that the reason?

Is the exposure meant to make things easier for me?

Connery was unsure whether to believe or not.

He looked at President Graeme.

President Graeme shook his head, his eyes flashing coldly: "Don't believe it! He's lying to you!"

Connery came to his senses: Ma Zhichao is definitely not a good person. He probably doesn't trust us, which is why he exposed us.

Connery continued to smile and tug at Ma Zhichao: "Mr. Ma, the higher-ups have asked me to open a case to investigate this matter as soon as possible, so I want to ship that batch of Hong Kong dollars back as soon as possible."

Ma Zhichao: "No problem, as soon as possible. The sooner the better!"

Connery: "Thank you, Sir. I'll send someone over to take over right away."

Hang up the phone,

Graeme and Connery both fell silent.

What exactly is Ma Zhichao trying to do?

"Is he testing us?"

"No, if it was just a test, there was no need to give us that money; it's evidence."

"I can no longer fathom Ma Zhichao's thoughts."

"This person is truly sinister!"

Graeme and Connery discussed it back and forth, but in the end, they still couldn't figure out what Ma Zhichao wanted to do.

"No matter what, let's get the money back first."

"During this period, the Grand Marshal instructed us to readjust the functions of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), revise the selection process for decision-makers, arrange for our trained people to take up core positions as soon as possible, and dismiss those who had defected to the enemy, so that our power could still control the HKMA after 9. Moreover, we could disrupt Hong Kong's financial system in 97."

In the eyes of Victoria and the Grand Governor, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority was no less important than the Special Branch's infiltration plan.

Once 9* is over, disrupting Hong Kong's financial system and causing an economic downturn will certainly be a major blow to its reputation and will also breed resentment among the people of Hong Kong.

"Act quickly, find two people who have already defected to the enemy, make them take the blame, and suppress the matter!"

"Yessir!"

In Graeme's view, regardless of whether Ma Zhichao's probing was good or bad, it was impossible to convict the two "culprits." At most, the scapegoats would be arrested. Why? Because the two of them were very important. No matter how big their crimes were or how much money they amassed, not only would they not be arrested, but it would also be more in line with the interests of Victoria and the Grand Commander.

Ma Zhichao is just a nobody!

Could it influence the will of the empire?

……

police department.

Cai Yuanqi watched Ma Zhichao's performance.

"This performance... the signs are a bit too obvious..."

"What kind of conspiracy is Ma Zhichao up to now?"

That's right,

Cai Yuanqi still subconsciously believed that Ma Zhichao was the one causing trouble.

"I'll be watching!"

……

At Lu Zhilian's home.

Lu Zhilian also watched the morning news and felt even more guilty.

"What's wrong?" the wife asked curiously, noticing that Lu Zhilian seemed lost in thought.

"It's nothing, it's just that Inspector Ma exposed a case..." Lu Zhilian laughed, then changed the subject, "Let's go downstairs for breakfast later, and then I'll take you to work."

The wife smiled and said, "No need, I can take the bus myself. It's inconvenient for you to drive; the one-way street means you'll have to take a long detour. And Mr. Lu, you're shouldering a heavy responsibility in the fight against corruption now, so keep up the good work..."

The two went downstairs; one drove, the other took the bus, and they went their separate ways.

After arriving at the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC),

Lu Zhilian was busy but restless. He thought about what his wife had said last night about the elevator at their company.

“Miri, come with me.”

"Hey, where are we going?"

"Check the elevator at my wife's company... Could you please make an appointment with the manager of my wife's company first?"

Tan Meili was a little curious. Why were they checking elevators? Wasn't that the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department's job?

Soon, the two left the ICAC building.

We set off by car.

In the car, Lu Zhilian asked curiously, "Have you been dating that Stephen Chow guy lately?"

Tan Meili looked disgusted: "Ugh, he's such a jerk, but apart from that flaw, he seems alright... Yesterday, he got a prize of nearly 20 yuan with me and bragged about it. He's crazy!"

He started laughing as he talked.

Lu Zhilian: "What are they busy with over in West Kowloon?"

Tan Meili: "He's busy with the counterfeit money case, investigating something..."

The two chatted for a while and soon arrived at Mrs. Lu Zhilian's company.

"You're here? Investigating our company's elevators?" The wife was pleasantly surprised when she received Lu Zhilian's call.

“Yes,” Lu Zhilian said with a smile.

"I'm coming down to find you now!" The wife happily took the elevator to the 23rd floor and pressed the button for the first floor.

The elevator has just descended...

Boom~~~

The elevator car was shaking.

The lady's eyes immediately showed a look of panic.

Then, bang bang bang bang~~~

The lifting rope was taut with only one strand left, and it snapped quickly!

moment!

The elevator car descended rapidly under the influence of gravity, falling faster and faster.

"Ahhhh~~~~~"

Mrs. Lu Zhilian screamed in terror.

Lu Zhilian realized something was wrong and quickly shouted, "What's wrong...?"

Boom~~~~~

The ground shook, and the elevator door on the first floor was deformed.

Lu Zhilian was knocked to the ground by the blast wave in front of the elevator door.

this moment,

His mind went blank.

……

the other side,

West Kowloon Police Station.

The HK$1.3 million was officially handed over to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority.

Connery shook hands: "Thank you for your support, Inspector Ma!"

Ma Zhichao smiled and said, "I hope your Hong Kong Monetary Authority will catch the murderer soon!"

Connery: "We will definitely catch them."

A cold laugh escaped his lips: Ma Zhichao, you have no idea how many important figures are involved here.

HSBC executives, Standard Chartered executives, government executives, Financial Secretary executives… even the Governor-General is getting a share of the profits! This is a corrupting scheme to undermine Hong Kong's economy! Everyone's making money, and incidentally, they're boosting Hong Kong's economy!

In short: The referees, the referees, and the association are all my people, how can you fight me!

Even if the case is solved, they'll just find a few unimportant people to take the blame!

……

noon,

This time, it wasn't just ATV; even TVB started broadcasting ATV news. TVB even went to West Kowloon to interview relevant details and interviewed key figure Chan Kwok-chung.

Two major television stations jointly broadcast the program.

The news is trending again!

Of course, we'll continue reporting...

The next day, the reports continued, this time including dozens of newspapers across Hong Kong, with various analyses.

There is no doubt that all Hong Kong citizens are furious.

"It's obvious that a lot of people are doing this secretly..."

"Has the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) eaten shit? Investigate immediately!"

"The Hong Kong Monetary Authority is definitely in the wrong!"

"The Financial Secretary is also implicated!"

"It must be thoroughly investigated!"
