After ten years undercover, I'm giving up.

At that moment, applause and cheers erupted from the surrounding crowd.

"good!"

"Mr. Ma is absolutely right!"

"Splash splash ...

Even the continuous rain couldn't dampen the excitement of the villagers watching the spectacle.

……

……

It was exactly 10 p.m.

TVB and ATV's nightly news started on time.

Recently, many Hong Kong Island residents have developed a new habit.

Every night at 10 o'clock, I sit in front of the TV.

After all, nobody knows if another major news story that will shake the entire city of Hong Kong will suddenly break out today.

And tonight, it proved that their wait was worthwhile.

Good evening, viewers. Welcome to the nightly news.

"Next, we have an important announcement to share."

"Just about an hour ago, Wu Shaoxiong, the number one wanted criminal who had gripped the nerves of all Hong Kong citizens, was shot dead by the police on the spot."

"And what's even more dramatic is that the person who personally shot and killed Wu Shaoxiong was none other than the hero police officer Ma Zhichao, a familiar face to all Hong Kong citizens!"

"For details, please see the interview footage just sent back by our frontline reporters."

"..."

"According to the police's preliminary analysis, Wu Shaoxiong may be planning a diversionary tactic, deliberately using Inspector Ma to attract most of the police's attention, while he takes the opportunity to smuggle himself out of Hong Kong Island."

"However, no one expected that he would run into Inspector Ma at the very spot where he was preparing to smuggle himself across the border..."

……

This moment.

Countless citizens in Hong Kong, watching television across the city, simultaneously had the same thought pop into their minds.

Holy crap!

"What the hell?"

"Is this even possible?"

"OMG!"

Countless people were so shocked they were speechless.

Many others couldn't help but complain on the spot.

"Did Wu Shaoxiong forget to check the almanac before leaving home?"

"At this moment, I actually feel a little sorry for him, hahaha~~"

"How unlucky! How could I run into this?"

"What incredible luck, Officer Ma! Amazing!"

……

……

at the same time.

Inside the hiding place of Hong Jipeng and others.

A group of people were also sitting in front of the television, watching the live news broadcast.

When Ma Zhichao in the video solemnly uttered that sentence—

"Only when the safety of citizens is truly guaranteed can I be worthy of this police uniform!"

Hong Jipeng: "..."

Hong Jibiao: "..."

Other subordinates: "..."

The entire room suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Compared to their boss's thick skin, these ruthless bandits felt inexplicably ashamed.

It seems they still have a lot to learn in the future.

After a while, Hong Jipeng stroked his chin and said, "Johnny Wang has been eating and drinking for free here for quite some time now."

"It's his turn to go on stage next."

The era of the "Pot Shadow" has come to an end.

The second-generation King of Pots is about to make its debut!

Johnny Wang: "..."

……

The next morning.

Hong Kong Island is bustling with activity once again.

News departments of all major newspapers in Hong Kong were extremely busy.

Apart from TVB and ATV, almost all newspapers simultaneously put "Ma Zhichao kills Wu Shaoxiong" on their front page.

Some newspapers even dedicated large sections to a special feature, delving into Ma Zhichao's past.

The Han Chen Group case.

Two major arms depot cases.

Wu Shaoxiong serial bombing case.

These major news stories, strung together, resemble an extraordinary life story.

In a breakfast shop.

Many citizens missed the 10 pm news last night, so they are determined to catch up this morning.

"Boss, turn the TV volume up!"

"Damn it, speaking so softly, who can hear the news?"

"Yeah, turn it up louder!"

The breakfast shop owner was sweating profusely, and could only serve noodles and rice while forcing a smile.

"Okay, okay, I'll increase it right away!"

The store is incredibly popular.

The diners ate breakfast while watching the news on television.

As I looked at it, I couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.

"Wow, Inspector Ma is incredibly powerful this time! He even took down Ng Siu-hung with his own hands!"

"You've done such a great job, you're definitely going to get a promotion, right?"

"It's hard to say. He's already a senior superintendent, and the next step is chief superintendent, which isn't a promotion that comes easily."

"Didn't the news say that the police are holding a press conference this morning? We should know then whether Inspector Ma will be promoted."

……

the other side.

On a bus.

Almost every passenger in the car had a newspaper in hand, and they were all reading reports about Ma Zhichao.

The discussions were incessant and impossible to suppress.

"Sigh, to be honest, Inspector Ma's luck is just too outrageous."

"Wu Shaoxiong hid for so long, and in the end, he actually managed to run into him at the smuggling point."

"I don't know if Wu Shaoxiong is just unlucky, or if Inspector Ma is just a natural nemesis of criminals."

"Actually, Wu Shaoxiong wasn't stupid. He knew to use Ma Sir to draw the police's firepower so he could take the opportunity to escape."

"What a pity, he was just unlucky and ended up running into Inspector Ma."

"This is probably what they call a crime buster, specifically designed to ward off criminals."

……

9:45 a.m.

The police held a formal press conference.

This time, the specifications are clearly completely different from before.

Director of Operations, Cai Yuanqi.

The greatest contributor was Chief Superintendent Ma Zhichao.

Philip, head of the Public Relations Department.

The presence of all three individuals made for a rather grand gathering.

Cai Yuanqi originally wanted the Public Relations Department to prepare a speech for Ma Zhichao.

But when he thought of Ma Zhichao's outrageous act of tearing up the manuscript in public last time, he immediately gave up the idea.

Forget it.

This guy is completely out of control.

Writing it is pointless.

Inside the press conference hall.

The scene was already bustling with people and incredibly lively.

In addition to TVB, ATV, and dozens of local newspapers on Hong Kong Island, media outlets from Taiwan and Macau also sent reporters to the scene.

The police also attached great importance to this press conference.

After all, Wu Shaoxiong killed two chief superintendents and nearly killed the director of operations, causing extremely negative social impact.

During this period, the police have also been subjected to a lot of ridicule and insults from citizens.

Now that Wu Shaoxiong has been killed, this is a good opportunity to salvage the police force's image.

It was exactly 10:00 AM.

The press conference has officially begun.

Cai Yuanqi, Ma Zhichao, and Philip walked up to the podium together.

Click click click~~~

In an instant, the sound of countless camera shutters clicking filled the air.

Almost every shot was focused on the only true protagonist of the entire scene—Ma Zhichao.

Cai Yuanqi was the first to speak.

Then it was Philip's turn.

Finally, Ma Zhichao recounted the events of the previous night.

Ma Zhichao, of course, still maintained his upright and righteous demeanor.

He spoke calmly and passionately, adding embellishments as he went along, describing last night's "chance encounter" as a perilous and thrilling ordeal.

"Wu Shaoxiong was carrying a gun at the time."

There are six bullets in the gun.

"As everyone knows, Wu Shaoxiong was once the head of the Major Crimes Unit, and his marksmanship is definitely not bad."

"The situation was extremely dangerous."

"If I had reacted even a little slower, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Fortunately, I made the judgment in time...

After Ma Zhichao's embellishment, the originally simple and clear killing process was transformed into a dramatic and suspenseful story.

After he finished speaking, Cai Yuanqi took over the conversation and continued.

"The successful conclusion of this case fully demonstrates the Hong Kong Island Police's firm resolve to uphold the law and protect the safety of citizens."

"The dignity of the Hong Kong Island Police Force shall not be challenged by any criminal."

"Anyone who attempts to trample on the law and endanger the safety of citizens will ultimately be punished."

In the end, he began to publicly praise Ma Zhichao.

"At the same time, in this case, Superintendent Ma Zhichao was commended for his outstanding performance, bravery, decisiveness, and composure under pressure."

"After internal review by the Police Force, it has been decided to award Superintendent Ma Zhichao a major commendation."

"Effective immediately, Superintendent Ma Zhichao will be promoted from Senior Superintendent to Chief Superintendent."

"At the same time, in terms of job arrangements, he will also serve as the Deputy Director of the West Kowloon Department."

clap clap-

As soon as he finished speaking, the reporters in the audience burst into enthusiastic applause.

At the same time, everyone was deeply shocked.

Holy crap!

Chief Superintendent?

Deputy Director of the West Kowloon Department?

This time, Ma Zhichao is really going to have a meteoric rise to fame!

Hey!
