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

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away!"

……

……

Ma Zhichao is looking for a way to give Victoria and her gang a tough nut to crack.

Meanwhile, Director Harry was also waiting for his chance to give Ma Zhichao, 'Chen Zhen,' a hard time.

Both sides are looking for an opportunity.

……

And that night.

Director Harry, as was his habit, came to the Peninsula Hotel for dinner.

The Peninsula Hotel is owned by the Kadoorie family and boasts a rich historical heritage.

The Kadoorie family is another well-known British conglomerate besides Jardine Matheson, Swire, and HSBC. Its core assets are a 74% stake in CLP Power and a 58.82% stake in Island Hotels & Resorts, as well as a large number of unlisted assets, making it a very large conglomerate.

As it happens, Director Harry has some connection with the Kadoorie family, so he likes to eat at the Peninsula Hotel, where he feels a stronger sense of being in the heart of the Empire.

He ate alone there, his mind constantly racing with thoughts of how to catch Ma Zhichao.

The familiar cultural atmosphere and the melodious piano music made his mind more active.

"If we follow the conclusion that 'Ma Zhichao is the mastermind,' then Ma Zhichao must be a vengeful person."

"Perhaps I can find someone to clash with Ma Zhichao!"

"Moreover, this person must be even closer to the Empire..."

"After the conflict, if Ma Zhichao really was the mastermind, he would definitely have killed or kidnapped this person..."

A plan gradually took shape.

However, the selection of candidates still needs to be carefully screened.

at this time,

Behind them, at another table hidden by plants, a conversation mentioned 'Ma Zhichao,' a name that immediately caught Director Harry's attention.

Listen carefully.

At the next table, Li Chang and Long Wu were talking about Ma Zhichao.

Lee Cheong: "Mr. Lung Wu, West Kowloon is not Lee family territory. Although I dislike Ma Chi-chiu, I have to say that his control over West Kowloon is beyond my imagination..."

“During this time, I tried to gather intelligence about him for you, but it was all sabotaged. In the end, they even traced it back to my subordinates. If I hadn’t acted swiftly and shifted the blame to the political department, they probably would have tracked it down to me.”

Next door, Chief Harry: "???"

Lung Wu said solemnly, "I can't stay in Hong Kong Island for that long anymore, so please hurry!"

Li Chang said seriously, "Don't worry, Brother Long Wu, you are a friend of the Li family, so naturally I will do my best to help you."

Li Chang undoubtedly dislikes Ma Zhichao, perhaps because they are fundamentally different, perhaps because he pursued Tang Xin unsuccessfully, perhaps because Li Chang also has some feelings for Long Jiu, or perhaps for other reasons...

Therefore, Lichang always wanted to cause trouble for Ma Zhichao.

Of course, everything was behind the scenes. Although he wasn't afraid to step into the spotlight and confront Ma Zhichao, he felt it was unnecessary.

In short, Li Chang is a cunning old man.

Upon hearing this, Director Harry had a sudden inspiration.

This person might be a good bait.

He made a phone call to the Political Department and asked them to send someone over.

Not long after, Li Chang and Long Wu finished eating and left. A minute later, people from the Political Department arrived. Harry asked them to check the surveillance footage and verify the identities of the two men.

Soon, the Political Department's investigation results were delivered to Director Harry.

"Long Wu, a friend of Hiroji Ueyama of the Yamaguchi-gumi in Japan, an assassin, bodyguard, and the older brother of Long Jiu in the Political Department..."

"Li Chang, the handpicked successor to the Li family of Causeway Bay..."

Later, there is some information about the Yu family.

Director Harry completely ignored Long Wu.

To put it bluntly, Long Wu is a lone wolf with no real strength. He's not even worthy of being Ma Zhichao's opponent, let alone being bait.

On the contrary, Li Chang has a family and influence, making him a perfect opponent for Ma Zhichao.

Director Harry instructed Craven: "Go investigate this Lichang, find out what they investigated about Ma Zhichao... After the investigation, pass the message to Ma Zhichao and let them fight like dogs."

Once Ma Zhichao gets angry and ties up Lichang, that's when the SAS will make their appearance.

The plan has been initially formulated!

Lure the snake out of its hole!

It's been named "Operation Snake Lure!"

Director Harry immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

……

……

In a flash,

Three more days passed peacefully.

Hong Kong Island residents are starting to feel bored. There have been no major news events for more than 10 days, and work is becoming increasingly dull.

Although Ma Zhichao and Harry had already made a plan, they were both afraid of being too hasty or encountering coincidences, so they were patient and not in a hurry to implement it.

On this day, Lung Wu boarded a plane, left Hong Kong Island, and headed to the United States.

……

And today,

Ma Zhichao is about to take action!

Umbrella Company.

Ma Zhichao summoned Tian Yangsheng: "You can make arrangements to let the Political Department discover the clues."

Tian Yangsheng: "Great!"

Then the two discussed the battle plan and chose a location.

It's been named "Project Snake Lure"!

After half an hour,

Just as the plan was almost finalized, Tian Yangsi suddenly walked in.

Tian Yangsheng's face was icy: "Boss, we've caught someone acting suspiciously, following you..."

Ma Zhichao didn't seem to care: "It's from the Political Department, right?"

They'd gotten used to it. The political department had been trying to track him, but they'd always failed.

“It’s not the Political Department,” Tian Yangsi said. “After our interrogation, we found that the other party is from the Li family.”

"Who?" Ma Zhichao was taken aback.

“The Li family, the Li family known as the major landowners of Causeway Bay,” Tianyang said.

Ma Zhichao suddenly thought of the person he met on the day of Long Jiu's funeral, who seemed to be hostile towards him.

"Gather information on the Li family; I want to see what they're up to!"

"Yes!"

Then Ma Zhichao said to Tian Yangsheng, "The Political Department's operation should proceed according to plan. Be cautious; it's better to be slow than to be discovered by them."

Tian Yangsheng nodded: "Yes, boss!"

Ma Chi-chiu left the Umbrella Corporation and went to work at the West Kowloon Police Station.

……

……

in the afternoon,

Political Department

Craven reported the progress of "Operation Snake" to Chief Harry.

"We have successfully informed Ma Zhichao that the Li family is investigating him."

"Alright, now we just have to wait and see!"

Director Harry laughed heartily.

I'm really looking forward to Ma Zhichao's reaction!

If Ma Zhichao really is the 'mastermind', then he would definitely kidnap Lichang just like he kidnapped and killed the young master of the Daigu Group.

Knock knock knock~~~

There was a knock on the door.

"Director Harry..."

"Come in."

Deputy Secretary Steven walked in, looking excited.

"Director Harry, there's been progress in the case of the kidnapping of the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority!"

Director Harry and Minister Craven exchanged a glance and laughed.

"it is good!"

"What did you find?"

Steven reported, "We've been keeping an eye on the remaining three suspects. One of them is a hotel waiter named Lanmingquan. He drank too much at noon today and accidentally let slip that he drugged the hotel that night... but that's all he said, he didn't say anything more..."

Craven exclaimed with delight, "Great!"
