After ten years undercover, I'm giving up.

They had never had such an opportunity to be praised in public before.

In an instant, the gratitude in the hearts of everyone in the Major Crimes Unit soared.

Fang Siwei pushed the camera forward a little further and continued, "Superintendent Ma, after this operation, is there anything you'd like to say to the people of Hong Kong Island?"

Facing the camera, Ma Zhichao remained calm and composed, speaking in a measured tone: "This operation can be considered my answer to everyone."

"I believe that when I was promoted to senior superintendent and took over as head of the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit a few days ago, many people must have doubted my abilities."

"And tonight's operation, which I personally planned, deployed, and directed, is intended to show all the citizens of Hong Kong the answer."

"I, Ma Zhichao, am not only good at being an undercover agent."

"I can solve cases too."

"As long as I am in this position, I will do my best to protect West Kowloon and the safety of all the citizens of Hong Kong Island."

This is the moment to show off.

Similarly, it was a crucial moment to firmly claim credit for this achievement.

After all, Ma Zhichao couldn't guarantee that those foreigners wouldn't come running over to steal the credit later.

After saying this, he turned and waved to Stephen Chow and Chan Ka Kui.

"Sing, Ka-Kui, come here."

Stephen Chow and Chan Ka-kui immediately perked up, straightened their backs, and jogged to the front of the camera.

Fang Siwei cooperated readily and immediately pointed the camera at the two of them.

The other police officers nearby were almost red with envy.

They want to have that kind of treatment too!

Standing between the two men, Ma Zhichao introduced them to the camera: "These two officers are the most outstanding guys in this operation."

"They charged forward decisively and had extremely strong execution capabilities."

"Stephen Chow was once an elite member of the Flying Tigers, and this identity alone is enough to demonstrate his professional ability."

"He was the first to storm the armory tonight, and he was extremely brave."

Stephen Chow was so excited he almost burst into tears on the spot.

His gratitude towards Ma Zhichao was so strong it was almost bursting out of his head.

If it weren't for the many cameras and colleagues watching, he would have loved to pounce on Ah Tou and give him a good bite as a sign of loyalty.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Zhichao pointed at Chen Jiaju.

"This is Chan Ka-kui."

"He is also a tough and capable police officer."

"He made significant contributions to more than half of the major cases solved by the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit in the past few years."

Chen Jiaju was both excited and embarrassed, and he could hardly contain his smile.

The other officers from the Major Crimes Unit were green with envy.

Who wouldn't want to be publicly praised by their superior in front of all the news cameras in Hong Kong?

However, they did not know that all of this was actually Ma Zhichao's method of managing his subordinates.

Give them a treat first.

Give it another Glory.

Stephen Chow and Chan Ka-kui were extremely grateful to him.

And let others understand one thing.

Following Ma Zhichao not only brings rewards but also puts you on TV!

Only in this way will he have a bunch of useful and handy assistants under his command in the future.

The interview soon came to a temporary end.

Ma Zhichao lowered his voice and asked, "Has everything been arranged at the TV station?"

"You have to be quick."

"I'm worried that when that foreign chief of staff arrives, he'll cause some trouble."

Fang Siwei nodded quickly: "I've already contacted them."

"Everyone in the news department has gone back to work overtime."

Ma Zhichao glanced at the time.

"Only 29 minutes left until the 10 o'clock news."

"I'll send two people to escort you back."

Fang Siwei clutched the camera tightly and, escorted by two police officers, quickly left the scene.

After she left, Ma Zhichao turned to look at Dong Biao.

"Alright, now we can report to Director Raymond."

From the start of the operation to the breach of the armory, and then to the end of Fang Siwei's interview, Ma Zhichao kept a secret throughout the entire process.

He did not allow Dong Biao to contact Raymond in advance.

Dong Biao gave a wry smile: "I understand."

Liang Xiaorou handed him the phones that had just been put away.

……

Raymond's side.

He remained in his office, pacing nervously back and forth.

He was genuinely worried that Ma Zhichao's reckless actions would lead the entire Major Crimes Unit to their deaths.

This wait felt like an eternity.

Ring ring ring—

The sudden ringing of the telephone startled Raymond.

He walked quickly over and answered the phone.

"Chief!"

Uncle Biao's voice came through the receiver.

Raymond immediately asked, "Biao, how's the operation going?"

Dong Biao replied, "The operation was a success."

Raymond immediately followed up, "Is anyone injured?"

Dong Biao said, "We have zero casualties on our side."

call--

Raymond immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, and the anxiety that had been hanging over him finally subsided.

Dong Biao continued, "Director, this achievement is probably even greater than we expected."

"The weapons depot we raided was enormous in size, with a huge number of firearms inside."

"They have even more equipment than we have in our police station's armory!"

"What?!"

Raymond was stunned on the spot.

Is that really so exaggerated?

Dong Biao added, "There's one more thing."

"The reporter Fang that Ma Zhichao brought to the scene has already rushed back to the TV station."

"ATV is cooperating fully now, and it is estimated that the news will be broadcast at 10 pm tonight."

Raymond narrowed his eyes.

"Is he afraid someone will steal the credit?"

Dong Biao smiled wryly and said, "That's probably the idea."

"However, I suspect that he is mainly wary of Director Edmund, not us."

Raymond pondered for a moment and said, "Let's put this aside for now."

"As long as they come back safe and sound, that's all that matters."

"Moreover, tonight's battle is enough to prove that Ma Zhichao is indeed capable."

"We can communicate with him more in the future, and not rush to conclusions."

……

Almost at the same time.

Ma Zhichao also dialed Chief Edmund's number, preparing to "formally" report the case to him.

Of course, he also turned on the recording function.

That's right.

The pit has been dug.

result……

beep-

beep-

No one answered the phone.

Ma Zhichao: "..."

grass.

All that effort to build up feelings was for nothing.

However, although Ma Zhichao failed to get through to Edmund on the phone, someone at the scene secretly passed the message out after getting the phone back.

A short message was quickly sent out.

Not long after, Edmund received a report from his subordinates.

Ma Zhichao uncovered an arms depot.

Moreover, it is extremely large in scale.

"What?"

"Ma Zhichao solved a major case?"

Edmund's first reaction upon hearing this was shock.

How can a case be solved with someone who just falls down like that?

He instinctively didn't believe it.

But when he realized that this involved the recently extremely arrogant Johnny & Associates arms company, he immediately became restless.

Wasn't this case just recently reported by the police department?

Moreover, it was listed as a key case of the year!

How could such a great achievement fall into Ma Zhichao's hands?

Logically speaking, such a great achievement should belong to him, the Director of the West Kowloon Department!

"quick!"

"Get the car ready immediately!"

Less than two minutes later, a convoy drove out of the police station and sped toward Ming Sin Hospital.

The car sped along.

Edmund's brain was also working at lightning speed.

He has to find a way to steal the credit.

Soon, he thought of someone.

Wen Jianren.

When Ma Zhichao first arrived in West Kowloon, Edmund had already hinted to Wen Jianren that he should report on all of Ma Zhichao's major moves at any time.

To put it bluntly, Wen Jianren was his spy planted next to Ma Zhichao.

Edmund immediately dialed Wen Jianren's number.

beep-

beep-

No one answered.

"waste!"

Edmund immediately cursed out loud.

After thinking about it, he simply called Ma Zhichao directly.

……

The armory.

Ma Zhichao's phone rang.

He looked down and saw that the caller ID showed it was Edmund, that foreigner.

As soon as Ma Zhichao answered the call, he habitually turned on the recording.

As soon as the call connected, Edmund's voice, barely containing his anger, came through the other end.

"Ma Zhichao!"

"Who are you? I'm very busy right now."

beep-

Ma Zhichao hung up the phone immediately.

Edmund: "..."

Anger instantly surged within him.

He resisted the urge to smash his phone and dialed the number again.

This time, Edmund got straight to the point, his tone full of commands and interrogation.

"I am Commissioner Edmund!"

"Why weren't you informed before carrying out major operations?"

"Do you realize that you're just a superior with no real management experience?!"

"Your unauthorized actions could very likely have serious consequences..."
