Zhuo Jingquan's face was pale.

After saying that, Ma Zhichao turned and left.

Guan Li quickly followed.

Ma Zhichao patted Guan Li on the shoulder: "Ali, I've already signed the report for your promotion to inspector. From now on, you're an inspector."

Guan Li thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Officer Ma."

Then, after a moment's hesitation, he said, "About Lin Kun's wife..."

Ma Zhichao sneered: "I have already sent people to investigate. Before Lin Kun died, his wife retrieved the $800 million deposit from General Chatchai, the drug lord of the Golden Triangle."

Guan Li was stunned for a moment.

Ma Zhichao said coldly, "So you should understand what this means. If she were an ordinary woman, how could General Chatchai have sent back 800 million US dollars? Did you think General Chatchai was a philanthropist?"

"However, I don't want to arrest her for now. I'll see if I can dig out any big fish later. I'm very interested in the sugar daddy behind her!"

Guan Li lowered his head: "Okay!"

……

the other side,

Hospital,

Ma Haotian was lying in bed with bandages wrapped around his body. Su Jianqiu and Zhang Ziwei came to visit him with fruit baskets.

"Cheers to Ah Tian being saved!"

"cheers!"

The three men, each holding a bottle of beverage, toasted to celebrate Ma Haotian's survival.

Ma Haotian looked relieved: "Luckily, the guys from West Kowloon arrived in time, otherwise I would be dead."

He was being hung up and beaten by his colleagues from the narcotics investigation department. Then Ma Jun rushed in and rescued him.

Zhang Ziwei sighed: "We all underestimated Zhuo Jingquan and his gang. We thought it was just a temporary small group, but we never expected it to last for eight years!"

Ma Haotian looked at Su Jianqiu and said, "Congratulations, A Qiu. You've gotten to know Ma Sir better this time. You're really lucky."

Su Jianqiu chuckled: "Inspector Ma told me to go back to the police force, directly to the rank of Inspector. Awesome!"

Ma Haotian said, "This time, with Zhuo Jingquan, the head of the Operations Department, being arrested, the Police Force has undergone a major upheaval. The three deputy commissioners have been reduced to two, so there's no need to fight for the position anymore. It's only natural that Inspector Ma would take over as the head of the Operations Department!"

Su Jianqiu nodded: "There are only 3 years left until 9*. The old number one will definitely step down. With Ma Zhichao's strength, he will undoubtedly be the new number one."

Zhang Ziwei: "We need to choose sides in advance. With Ah Qiu's connection, we can naturally become Ma Sir's subordinates."

The three of them dreamed about the future, their hearts filled with excitement!

……

Zhuo Jingquan was soon sentenced to 100 years in prison.

The vacant position of head of operations at the Police Force has naturally become the focus of attention for the entire Hong Kong Police Force.

A week later,

Submitted by Cai Yuanqi of the Police Department, reviewed by the Provincial Administration Commissioner, and finally signed by the Grand General's Office.

Ma Chi-chiu has officially taken over the Operations Department of the Police Force.

It oversees two major departments: Department A (Operations Department) and Department B (Criminal and Security Department).

On that day, all the news in Hong Kong, from radio and television news to the newspapers the following day, focused on the news of Ma Sir's promotion.

Most citizens wholeheartedly support it, given its high prestige.

Then, Ma Zhichao gained another title: "Legend of the Police Force".

It certainly has a legendary quality, and this title is well-deserved.

……

The Provincial Administration Office (ps: I just realized it's called the Provincial Administration Office, not the Political Affairs Office)

Office of the Director.

Director Chen Anxin (female) sat in her office chair, looking at the newspaper.

The front page of the newspaper featured Ma Zhichao in a white police uniform, with the epaulettes of the Deputy Commissioner of Police on his shoulders.

"Ma Zhichao, this person..."

Chen Anxin frowned.

She was promoted and appointed by the Grand Commander to become the Director of the Provincial Administration Commission two years ago.

He is a 20k pure gold banana man, who considers himself an imperial citizen and identifies with imperial culture.

She was still full of hostility towards Ma Zhichao.

Who doesn't know that Ma Zhichao has close ties with the north? Every day, a large amount of goods come from the north through the border crossing and are delivered to Ma Zhichao's New Era Supermarket. Then, a large number of Ma Zhichao's goods are transported to the north.

Moreover, Ma Zhichao also had close political ties with the north.

In Chen Anxin's view, for the empire, people like Ma Zhichao should be killed if possible, and suppressed at all costs if they cannot be killed.

However, this time, when Ma Zhichao was put in charge of the Police Operations Department, his real power increased significantly, but the resistance he encountered was surprisingly small.

Cai Yuanqi did not stop it.

The Grand Commander did not stop it.

Only she, as the Director of the Provincial Administration Commission, tried her best to stop it, speaking to the Grand Commander at the Grand Commander's Mansion for half an hour, but still could not change the Grand Commander's decision.

"Could it be that Ma Zhichao and the Grand Commander have made some kind of deal?"

Thinking of this, Chen Anxin couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

The Chief Secretary wielded immense power, far exceeding the mere position of second only to the emperor. He was the "local strongman," the "backbone," and the "prime minister of unparalleled authority" in the British Hong Kong system. Whoever became the Grand Governor needed the Chief Secretary's assistance; otherwise, they would be "completely clueless" about governance.

In order to extend the empire's interests in Hong Kong, after the Grand Governor took office, he promoted Chan On-sum to the position of the first Chinese Chief Secretary, with the ultimate goal of making her the first Chief Executive in 9.

This seemed like a natural progression to both the Empire and Chan On-sum. (P.S.: Historically, due to disputes over political reform, the Legislative Council's through-train scheme fell through, and she failed to get promoted. However, she did not resign but remained as Chief Secretary for Administration, becoming a hindrance.)

As a staunch Imperial citizen and a pure-blooded "banana" (Chinese person with Western heritage), he highly values Imperial honor and the future plans of the Empire in Hong Kong.

If the Grand Commander really did something to betray the empire, she would definitely report it directly to the higher authorities!

Ring ring ring~~~~~

Just then, her office phone rang.

Chen Anxin was startled when he saw it; it was actually the Empire's overseas telephone.

“Miss Chen Anxin, I am Cabinet Secretary Sherman!”

Cabinet Minister Mr. Sherman?

Mr. Sherman, ranked 4th in the cabinet and in charge of affairs in the world's colonies?

Chen Anxin was immediately taken aback, and quickly straightened her chest, becoming extremely respectful: "Mr. Sherman, what can I do for you?!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Sherman got down to business: "I heard that Ma Zhichao was promoted to head of the Police Department's Operations Division yesterday?"

Chen Anxin nodded: "Yes!"

Cabinet Minister Sherman: "Why? According to the records, isn't he an enemy of the Empire? Why give him such an important position? Didn't any of you object?"

The Operations Department of the Hong Kong Police Force has powers that basically cover all front-line police officers in all major regions and divisions of Hong Kong, as well as operational units such as the Special Duties Unit (SDU). It can be said to be the second-largest police force.

Chen Anxin was overjoyed, not expecting that Cabinet Minister Sherman had also noticed this.

Chen Anxin quickly said, "I am strongly opposed to this matter. I even spent half an hour trying to persuade the Grand Commander at the Grand Commander's Mansion, but the Grand Commander insisted on his own way and decided to promote Ma Zhichao."

Then I explained the details.

After listening, Cabinet Secretary Sherman said, "Okay, I understand what you're saying."

hang up the phone.

Chen Anxin smiled.

Now that the empire has taken notice, it will surely take some action!

……

Grand General's Office

Fat Governor soon received a call from the Empire.

During the phone call, he was questioned about his decision to promote Ma Zhichao.

The fat governor's explanation was quite reasonable: First, Ma Zhichao was a capable investigator who could salvage the current dire security situation in Hong Kong. Second, since Ma Zhichao couldn't be killed, they should try to win him over and corrupt him.

Whether the Empire accepts his explanation remains to be seen.

However, Fat Du had a bad feeling.

……

On the third day,

The fat governor received another call from the Imperial Cabinet, who regretfully informed him of some news.

"After deliberation at the cabinet meeting, it was decided..."

"You will be transferred back to the Empire, and a new person will take over as the Grand Governor of Hong Kong!"

Upon hearing this, Fat Governor was taken aback... well, not so much!

"why?"

"Your Excellency, please give me an explanation!"

"I am utterly loyal to the Empire! I have never done anything to betray the Empire!"
