Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Kunji took Lai Donglin to rest. An Xiaohai felt a little guilty towards Lai Donglin.

Lai Donglin was actually a very sentimental person; otherwise, he wouldn't have devoted so many years to Hu Haikong because of a debt of gratitude, only to end up in such a state.

An Xiaohai did help Lai Donglin resolve his inner conflict, but Lai Donglin then put another burden on himself: he wanted to repay An Xiaohai's kindness.

In Lai Donglin's view, An Xiaohai's kindness to him was far greater than Hu Haikong's kindness in recognizing his talent back then, and it was precisely because of this that Lai Donglin had once again pushed himself to this point.

An Xiaohai wanted to tell Lai Donglin to rest assured that there wouldn't be much risk in this deal, but he couldn't explain why.

An Xiaohai was not sure if he would succeed.

Knowing something is one thing, doing it is quite another.

Regardless of the time or place, An Xiaohai knew very little about finance. All the information in his mind about this financial crisis came from snippets of news reports. Only when he was actually in the midst of it did he realize just how dangerous it was.

Moreover, the butterfly's wings have already flapped, and who knows if the outcome will change because of it! Even a slight change in the process could lead to complete failure.

However, An Xiaohai didn't care much about how much money he could make this time. He did all this simply to send a message to that person.

Now, An Xiaohai has destroyed at least 80% of An Zhehao's plans in Shenhai City. An Xiaohai absolutely does not believe that withdrawing such a large amount of An Zhehao's funds at once will have no impact on him.

That's absolutely impossible!

Therefore, a trip to Country T became imperative.

If An Xiaohai can seize enough profits in this financial crisis, he will inevitably attract the attention of An Zhehao. Then, when Solo sets his sights on Honggang soon, An Zhehao will likely personally intervene.

An Xiaohai knew very well that Solo would inevitably suffer a disappointing defeat in the competition at Red Harbor.

Given An Zhehao's personality and goals, he will definitely stand on Solo's side. As long as he dares to get involved, An Xiaohai will definitely make him suffer a loss that will make him question his existence!

Even if it costs him all his savings as bait, An Xiaohai will definitely find a way to lure him into his trap.

This was An Xiaohai's ultimate goal. The reason he agreed to let Li Maocai come along was, frankly, to serve this purpose.

If An Xiaohai was only wearing a positioning necklace, An Zhehao would have no way of knowing the details. After all, he couldn't directly ask Xu Tianyou, and it would be pointless to ask Xu Chonghua. Xu Tianyou was already being very accommodating by not lying to him.

However, if An Xiaohai takes Li Maocai with him, Li Maocai will definitely report all the details vividly when he gets back, which will be more attractive.

Even if An Xiaohai fails this time and loses all his money, it doesn't matter, as long as Solo wins. Li Maocai, as a participant in this storm, can also play his due role.

Moreover, if An Xiaohai loses everything, An Zhehao will also be anxious, because he believes that what An Xiaohai lost is his money.

When Solo moves on to Red Harbor, and An Xiaohai then storms in to make a comeback, An Zhehao will be even more anxious.

Therefore, whether An Xiaohai wins big or loses big this time, he will achieve his goal. Of course, if he only makes a small profit, that's also acceptable, but the effect won't be as good.

An Xiaohai walked to the window and looked down. The streets were brightly lit and bustling with people, a scene of prosperity and grandeur.

In this era, Country T was known as the New Asian Dragon, with a per capita GDP and living standards far exceeding those of China.

Unfortunately, all this prosperity will be frozen at this point in time. From now until the next two or three decades, they will decline all the way down.

Besides setting a trap for An Zhehao, the main purpose of this trip to T country is to find the overseas base of the Flying Bird Gang. This task will largely depend on the intelligence personnel of the Security Department.

An Xiaohai glanced at his watch; the hands pointed to 10:50. There were still 10 minutes until the agreed-upon rendezvous time.

Before coming, An Xiaohai had already discussed it with Xu Congzhou. On the first night after he arrived in Manchester, at 11 p.m., the intelligence personnel from the Security Department responsible for the entire Southeast Asia would try to meet with him.

If this person doesn't come on the first day, they will come on the second day. If they still haven't come by the second day, there's no need to wait any longer; they definitely won't be able to come, and you can only try to contact them again.

An Xiaohai frowned slightly, realizing for the first time how important intelligence work was.

In Shenzhen, everything is fine, and there's always a way to find out what you want to know. But once you step out of the country, it's a completely different story.

Without the help of the security department, An Xiaohai was practically clueless. Even a top-notch thief like Kunji would have his abilities greatly limited here.

After all, they didn't even speak the same language, so they wouldn't be able to hear anything if they tried to eavesdrop.

The clock struck 11:00, and at the same time, a very soft doorbell rang from inside the house.

When An Xiaohai opened the door, he saw a waiter pushing a food cart.

"Sir, your late-night snack has arrived. Would you like me to assist you with your meal?" the waiter at the door asked softly. His Chinese was fluent and his eyes were full of smiles.

An Xiaohai looked at the waiter carefully; his age, build, and even face shape were very similar to his own.

"Okay, come in. You can introduce me to the specialties of T country cuisine."

"It's a pleasure to serve you!" The waiter pushed the food cart into the room. An Xiaohai glanced outside the door and, noticing no one following him, gently closed the door.

The waiter began setting out the food and tableware. He would glance at An Xiaohai every now and then, his eyes filled with curiosity. His movements were extremely practiced. While setting out the tableware, he took a cloth bag from under the food cart and handed it to An Xiaohai.

An Xiaohai took the bag and opened it. Inside was a waiter's uniform and an access card. Without saying a word, An Xiaohai returned to his room and changed into the waiter's uniform.

"1102, take this!" The waiter set out the food and tableware, and then handed a gift box to An Xiaohai.

"Are there security cameras here?" An Xiaohai asked while straightening his clothes.

"There's one in the hallway on this floor, but not in the employee elevator. Go out and turn right, walk past the elevator lobby and then walk about 30 meters forward, and you'll see a tool room. Use your access card to swipe open the door to the tool room, and you'll see the employee elevator."

Once you reach the 11th floor, go out and turn right. After passing the elevator lobby, the second room on your left is 1102.

Actually, you don't need to worry too much about the surveillance cameras. The surveillance system here is quite old, and the quality isn't very good; you can't see anything clearly. As long as you don't stare at the cameras up close, they won't notice.

"Okay, thank you. How long will it take me?"

"Theoretically, you can stay as long as you want, but if you can keep it under 40 minutes, it will save me a lot of trouble."

"Okay, I'm going now. You'll stay here and eat some of my food, right?"

"Yes, that's how it feels more real."

"Okay, remember to leave some for me, I'm actually quite hungry."

"Haha, okay...wait a minute!"

"What's wrong?"

"Thank you."

"Of course, your work is very hard, I have to be very careful." An Xiaohai thought he was thanking him for his cooperation, after all, it is difficult for ordinary people to understand such caution.

That's not what I meant.

"That is..."

"That island, well done!"

You may not fully understand the significance of what you've done, but we understand perfectly. On behalf of all my colleagues in Country T, I salute you!

"You're welcome." An Xiaohai paused for a moment, then nodded slightly. This guy's style was quite unsafe; he did have a bit of a security guard vibe.

"Good luck, see you in a bit."

See you in a bit.
