Ma Zhichao hung up the phone while cursing.

At that moment, Stephen Chow pushed open the door and walked in.

Liang Xiaorou followed behind.

After six months of experience, Stephen Chow has matured quite a bit, although he still sometimes gets into trouble.

"Reporting, sir!"

Stephen Chow stood at attention and looked serious:

"Following your instructions, Chief, we finally found a pile of new banknotes, totaling over 8000 million, in one of the many old houses in the camel village..."

"You didn't take it, did you?"

"No."

"Okay, it's just bait now, let's see who takes the bait!"

Liang Xiaorou then reported, "Boss, we've investigated Xu Huaijing's former secretary and found that he left Hong Kong Island five months ago and is now working at Victoria Harbour."

Ma Zhichao was speechless: "They run pretty fast."

Five months ago, wasn't that the time when I captured the camel?

Clearly, the capture of the camel frightened Xu Huaijing, who quickly sent the person in charge to Victoria.

……

This morning, all the news media in Hong Kong were very busy.

The Financial Secretary, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, and the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) all held press conferences simultaneously.

Financial Secretary Tsui Wai-king personally gave an interview: "Everything Ma Chi-chiu said is completely unfounded. However, in order to give an explanation to all the citizens of Hong Kong, we will reopen the investigation and will not let any corrupt official get away with it!"

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) stated, "We are innocent and absolutely did not try to shift the blame onto anyone..."

The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) stated: "We apologize for the inconvenience caused to all citizens of Hong Kong. We will reopen the investigation and conduct a more thorough investigation... In recent years, our ICAC has cracked many major anti-corruption cases... Please continue to trust us, citizens of Hong Kong Island..."

12 noon

ATV and TVB both reported on these news stories.

Hong Kong Island residents: "…………"

"Hehehe~~~ Let's see if we believe it or not!"

"We only trust Inspector Ma!"

……

At that moment, Ma Zhichao made a phone call to Hong Jipeng.

"Send the video of Camel's extortion to Xu Huaijing and see his reaction!"

"Yes, boss!"

"Follow him and see who he meets!"

This is a vicious scheme!

Faced with a 20 billion yuan extortion attempt, Xu Huaijing had two choices: expose the crime and prove his innocence, or conceal it, coordinate with everyone involved, and pay the 20 billion yuan.

If it's the first option, Ma Zhichao can be certain that Xu Huaijing is innocent.

If it's the second option, Ma Zhichao can be certain that Xu Huaijing is a crucial part of it.

If Xu Huaijing wasn't careful enough, Ma Zhichao could still find out who Xu Huaijing's accomplices were by looking at the people Xu Huaijing met!

……

……

evening,

Xu Huaijing returned home with a gloomy expression.

The press conference was less effective than he had anticipated.

He underestimated Ma Zhichao's standing among the citizens of Hong Kong Island; his level of trust was already extremely high. If there were a public vote for the Grand Marshal, Ma Zhichao would likely receive the most votes.

This is terrible.

How long has it been since Ma Zhichao?

Only half a year?!

How could Ma Zhichao have such a high status in the hearts of the general public?

I'm increasingly convinced that Ma Zhichao is no ordinary person!

suddenly,

A motorcycle roared over.

"careful!"

The bodyguard suddenly shouted and shoved Xu Huaijing to the ground, leaving him in a very disheveled state.

Before Xu Huaijing could react, a dark object was thrown about 3 meters away from him.

"It might be a bomb, get out of here!"

The bodyguards quickly escorted Xu Huaijing away, and after running for more than ten meters, they hid behind a wall.

"Let's go see what it is!" Xu Huaijing looked at the package a dozen meters away and couldn't help but feel curious.

“It could be a bomb!” the bodyguard said.

"Bomb my ass! If it were a bomb, it would have killed me already!" Xu Huaijing cursed, he was getting a little irritable.

"Yes!"

The bodyguard carefully opened it and found it was a CD.

A piece of paper: "To Mr. Xu Huaijing!"

Xu Huaijing immediately sensed something was wrong.

This looks exactly like a threatening 'letter'.

Xu Huaijing returned home with a heavy heart and played a CD on his VCD player.

Then... the image of a camel appeared on the television.

"I'm Camel, I'm in America, just got off the plane..."

Xu Huaijing: "…………"

quickly,

He was already furious before he had even finished reading the content.

"20 million!"

"Fake!!"

He was in a state of utter confusion, and without saying a word, he immediately called the Financial Secretary…

and many more!

Xu Huaijing was worried about being monitored, which would be troublesome.

But he couldn't go to the director in person, because if someone followed him, especially that good-for-nothing Ma Zhichao, he would be in big trouble.

He went to the bathroom, turned on the tap, and water gushed out.

Using a different phone, Xu Huaijing made a call to the director through the sound of flowing water.

"Director, this is Xu Huaijing..."

"What's going on? Why is there such a loud splashing sound? I can't hear you."

"Director, wait a minute... I just received a video..." Xu Huaijing read out the video.

Bang~~~

He heard the sound of something being overturned coming from the other end of the phone.

"Extortion of 20 billion?"

"Also, we only make 30 billion a year, where did the 100 billion come from!"

"Fake!"

The director was also furious.

How can they raise 20 billion? It's impossible to get it from the treasury; they'll have to raise the money themselves.

"Can we find this camel?"

“It’s difficult. He’s been missing for a long time and is in the United States, while we only have 12 hours. He’s threatening to expose us, and we don’t have enough time in 12 hours.”

"Are we really going to give it to them?" the director asked, exasperated.

Damn it, I've been embezzling for ten years and I haven't even embezzled 10 billion yet, and you're going to embezzle 20 billion in one go? I might as well become a notorious bandit!

"Director, what should we do?"

"Can't we just deny it?"

“I’m afraid that if he exposes it, our Financial Secretary will be in even more trouble!”

"However, raising 20 billion is too difficult, or rather, it's simply impossible." The director couldn't help but feel a splitting headache just thinking about 20 billion.

The Grand Commander gets the lion's share, but would you dare ask the Grand Commander for money?

Are you asking for death?

If the Grand Commander doesn't provide the funds, are we supposed to pay the 20 billion ourselves? We'd be bankrupt.

"There's no other way, we'll just have to hold on. Even if Camel is exposed, we won't admit it. He's just a gangster, he made it all up!"

"But we don't know if the camels have any of those new banknotes on them."

“That makes sense. Go check Camel’s old houses right away and see if there are any remnants… If there are, it means Camel was captured, and there’s a mastermind behind it all. If not, it means Camel is still alive, and he’s lost the money.”

Xu Huaijing clapped his hands: "The director is right! We also need to guard against someone manipulating things behind the scenes... The camel's disappearance last time was too strange; there's a high possibility it was kidnapped..."
