Hong Kong variety show, I am a charming cop.

Chapter 169 Ma Zhihua

Although Yang Zhen's rank was only police chief, he was a veteran police officer with more than 20 years of experience.

It's utterly appalling that he would kneel down before a colleague who is several generations younger than him.

Lin Yixiang quickly went to help Yang Zhen up: "Brother Yang, what are you doing? You don't need to kneel down to apologize, get up quickly."

Yang Zhen pushed Lin Yixiang away and said, "I'm not human, I'm talking nonsense, I deserve to die!"

Seeing Yang Zhen, whose hair was gray, slapping himself repeatedly, Liang Junyi felt a pang of pity.

"Forget it, we're colleagues, let's forgive him this time."

Liang Junyi leaned close to Li Jian and whispered.

Li Jian waved his hand and said, "Let him kneel if he wants to. He can get up when he really understands!"

Yang Zhen is capable, but he loves to take advantage of others.

However, this person is very family-oriented; otherwise, he wouldn't have had three or four children despite such difficult economic conditions.

I guess they don't engage in any unhealthy entertainment activities; besides work, they just focus on having babies.

This kind of person needs to be put under appropriate pressure, otherwise they will become arrogant.

Liang Junyi and Lin Yixiang both fell silent.

They all treated Lao Yang like a brother, but Yang Zhen did sometimes speak without thinking, so it's a good thing that someone is keeping him in check.

The Toyota van drove all the way to the grand hotel.

Watching Ma Zhihua and his entourage, their hair and makeup slicked back, enter the hotel.

The doorman standing guard at the hotel entrance said into his earpiece, "Wu Ma, call the boss! Target, enter the hotel! Target, enter the hotel!"

Li Jian said in the channel: "Keep a close eye on the target, don't let the target out of sight!"

"Tibetan mastiffs are calling for the boss! Tibetan mastiffs are calling for the boss! Suspicious people have come to the back door! Suspicious people have come to the back door!" Qiu Gang'ao's voice rang out.

Li Jian said, "Don't act rashly yet, continue to observe."

Qiu Gang'ao, disguised as a cleaner, quickly started mopping the floor. "Roger!"

Ma Zhihua was in high spirits when he entered and saw the people from the China Securities Regulatory Commission: "Mr. Xia, what brings you here?"

Xia, the director of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, extended his hand and said, "The government pays my salary so that I can keep an eye on you."

Ma Zhihua's smile remained unchanged as he looked at the person next to him and asked, "And who is this?"

Supervisor Xia said, "This is Mr. Wu, the incoming Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. He plays golf very well."

Ma Zhihua quickly grasped the other person's hand and said, "I heard from a friend that Mr. Wu can score 80. If you have time, you must come to my course and show off your skills."

Commissioner Hou smiled and said, "Alright, but let's watch Mr. Ma's performance first today."

Soon, the party began.

The emcee announced, "Please welcome Mr. Ma Zhihua, Chairman of the Renxiaotang Charitable Foundation and Chairman of the Huaye Group!"

Ma Zhihua straightened his clothes and walked onto the podium, looking impeccably dressed.

Fan Shuwa, inside the arena, whispered, "Wow, a big water monkey! A successful person has come up on stage!"

Liang Nengren spat: "Looking all prim and proper, he'll be crying later!"

Li Jian said, "Let him be in the limelight for a while. The more glamorous he is now, the harder he'll fall later!"

Ma Zhihua began his speech: "Today, my driver, Acheng, asked me if it's okay to sell the two lots of Huaye Group shares I bought recently."

“I told him that our company’s current market value is 15.6 billion, we made 1 billion last year, and the dividend is 0.57 yuan. It’s more worthwhile than a bank fixed deposit, so we should consider holding it for the long term.”

"Who knew that Acheng would ask again: Boss, half the year has passed and I haven't even driven you back to the company once. Do you even know what kind of business the company is doing?"

"I was stumped by his question and didn't know how to answer him."

"Before I could answer, he dialed his stockbroker and sold his Huaye shares right in front of me. The price seemed pretty good, which made me want to sell some too."

"So if you have any questions about Huaye stock in the future, please call my driver, Acheng!"

The people below were very accommodating and applauded in unison.

Ma Zhihua continued, "In the past six months, I have put aside all my work because I have more important and meaningful things to do. This year, the Renxiaotang Charitable Foundation has raised a total of 51,867,053 yuan in charitable donations!"

At this moment, background music started playing, similar to the awarding of the Ten Outstanding Young Persons of Hong Kong Island.

Behind Ma Zhihua, a large screen played footage of him leading his foundation staff in charitable work.

Ma Zhihua continued, "I want to thank all the directors and staff of Renxiao Hall for their hard work over the past year. All the donations came from..."

A piercing sound rang out from the speakers, interrupting Ma Zhihua's words.

Ma Zhihua was stunned for a moment, then his anger flared up: "What's going on?"

Before he could even vent his anger, a shocking scene suddenly appeared on the big screen.

"A shipment of 60 million dollars worth of KOLs will arrive from South America on the 25th. We'll use Feng Hua and Lian Guang's stocks to create some kind of cooperation scheme to launder the money. Then, we'll release the goods to Xiao Lin's agent within the next two weeks..."

Immediately, some people below couldn't sit still and got up to walk outside.

"Wait, ICAC!"

Several men in suits stood up and blocked Ma Zhihua's subordinates.

Ma Zhihua yelled, "Hey, turn off the recording right now! Hey, turn off the recording right now! Did you hear me?!"

The door opens.

Li Jian walked in first.

Chen Jiaju and others followed behind him.

"Deng deng deng, deng deng deng, deng deng deng, deng deng deng, deng deng deng, deng deng deng!"

The background music for the God of Gamblers' entrance played over the loudspeakers in the venue.

Li Jian was speechless.

This is all Yang Zhen's doing. I'll teach him a lesson he deserves later!

Li Jianchong nodded to the ICAC officers and then walked towards Ma Zhihua.

Ma Zhihua was still struggling with the microphone, gripping it tightly with both hands, trying to pull it off the podium.

"Don't bother unplugging it, you country bumpkin! What good will unplugging the microphone do you?"

Li Jian tilted his head, and Chen Jiaju immediately rushed forward. "Serious Crimes Unit officers, we suspect you are involved in several murder cases. Please come with us to assist in the investigation. You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be used against you in court!"

Ma Zhihua roared, "I don't know what you're talking about, Ah Hua! Ah Hua!"

Li Jian and the others stood with their arms crossed, watching Ma Zhihua's impotent rage.

"Ahua, where the hell have you been?" Ma Zhihua shouted until his throat was hoarse, but no one came to his aid.

Qiu Gang'ao's voice came through the earpiece, his breathing rapid: "The Tibetan Mastiff is calling for its boss! Ahua tried to escape through the back door, but I caught him!"

Li Jian laughed and said, "You mean your bodyguard? He's already been taken into custody by our people. But don't worry, I'll arrange for you two to be in the same prison. You can put on a show of brotherhood in prison then. How about it? Want me to sing you a song?"

How many true friends does one have in this world? How many friendships can last forever...?
