Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Mai Xiaoyu turned on speakerphone and chatted with Li Chenghang's wife for more than 20 minutes.

This was the first time An Xiaohai had ever heard two women chat like this. To summarize, gossip accounted for 50%, clothing and makeup topics accounted for 30%, men-related topics accounted for 19%, and the remaining 1% was serious business.

These two women, one a successful businesswoman and a wealthy woman, and the other a female agent who is both intelligent and beautiful, can talk about these things so smoothly and naturally!

An Xiaohai was completely bewildered by what he heard. Fortunately, Mai Xiaoyu was too high-level, and Li Chenghang's wife was no match for her. Unknowingly, Mai Xiaoyu extracted a lot of information from her.

For example, Li Chenghang's wife's real name is Su Meifang;

For example, after their last collaboration, the couple successfully connected with Xu Zhijie and finally secured a relatively stable window of opportunity at the port in Haixi Province.

This is tantamount to opening a door to the Chinese energy market, which has elevated the couple's status within the family, and they are now showing signs of taking charge of the family's business in China.

Meanwhile, Mai Xiaoyu wasn't idle during this time either. An Xiaohai only found out at this point that the security department had helped Li Chenghang and his wife obtain a special window permit for LNG at Chuntian Port in Shenhai City. Although this special window permit could only be used twice, it was like having an extra strong insurance for them.

The security department did this undoubtedly to demonstrate Chen Maogan's unfathomable background to Li Chenghang and his wife. No wonder Li Chenghang and his wife immediately called to inquire after he returned to Haixi Province.

Li Chenghang and his wife originally planned to fly over immediately to meet An Xiaohai, but unfortunately, their family was planning a large-scale exhibition that would be attended by important clients from all over the world, so the couple couldn't leave at all during this time.

Su Meifang warmly invited An Xiaohai and Mai Xiaoyu to visit Malaysia, saying she wanted to thank them properly.

Mai Xiaoyu begged An Xiaohai to let her go in a sweet, seductive voice, but An Xiaohai refused without hesitation, citing that there would be no one to take over the business if she left.

Mai Xiaoyu pleaded in a coquettish voice for a long time, making An Xiaohai's skin crawl.

An Xiaohai understood that Mai Xiaoyu's ambiguous relationship with him was a way to increase her standing in Li Chenghang and his wife's eyes. This way, Li Chenghang and his wife would rely on Mai Xiaoyu more and wouldn't come to him for everything.

Mai Xiaoyu was trying to lighten his burden.

The two parties finally agreed that Li Chenghang and his wife would fly over to meet them immediately after the exhibition, which would take about 10 days.

"Hey, Mr. Chen, why won't you let me go over there? I think this is a good opportunity. Some of Li Maocai's funds were transferred to one of their companies. If I go over and investigate, I might be able to find some clues."

After hanging up the phone, Mai Xiaoyu blinked her big eyes and asked.

"This is too slow!" An Xiaohai took a deep breath and said, "Even if you get to these large-scale, formal business events, you'll only be able to contact legitimate companies, and it'll be difficult to find any clues."

Moreover, once you're on their territory, the initiative is in their hands. What they want you to know, you will naturally know; what they don't want you to know, you'll find very difficult to know.

This is too inefficient, and we don't have a real entity to rely on. With so many people talking at once, it's easy to be exposed over time.

More importantly, we must not communicate with them on an equal footing; doing so would only lower our own status. They are the ones asking us for help, so we cannot rush to see them.

We are more likely to get the information we want only when they come to us for help.

"I understand. Do you already have a plan?"

"We have a general direction, but we haven't formed a specific plan yet. I don't have enough information right now. We need to wait for your analysis results before we can formulate a specific plan."

"Then... could you share some of your thoughts?"

"Of course," An Xiaohai nodded. "The reason why Li Chenghang and his wife are able to stay in Haixi Province is because of the Haixi International line, which, to put it bluntly, is because of Xu Zhijie."

As long as we have Xu Zhijie under our control, they will be led by the nose by us.

Moreover, I have a strong feeling that something bad is about to happen at Haixi International. When that happens, Li Chenghang and his wife will be as anxious as ants on a hot pan and will be eager to come to us.

That will be the best time for us to act; it will definitely be much more effective.

"Wow, you're so mean! Xu Zhijie idolizes you, and you're eyeing his fortune!"

"Don't worry, I will protect Zhijie."

"How are you going to deal with Xu Chonghua? He has two sides, and there's that person behind him."

Xu Chonghua will definitely separate the two sides cleanly. His Haixi International is a legitimate business. I've checked, and their operations are very clean. They are also deeply involved with the Haixi government. It won't be easy to bring them down.

Moreover, the impact of dismantling the Haifuye drug trafficking organization on Haixi International is likely to be quite limited.

How can you completely bring down Xu Chonghua? I'm very curious!

"Two sides of yin and yang..." An Xiaohai pursed his lips, "Then let's face yin with yin and yang with yang, there's always a way."

I still think it's risky!

Yin against Yin. Although Xu Tianyou is no longer here, and the Haifoye organization has lost its sharpest dagger, I don't believe they have no other weapons.

You're unfamiliar with this place, do you really think you can take them down with just the savages and Acha's gang?

You shouldn't use the police this time. If you do, he'll realize that you're beyond saving, and all the traps you set for him will have been wasted.

In a head-to-head matchup, I see even less chance of you winning. You gave most of the money you earned before to Xu Tianyou. If I'm not mistaken, you probably only have a little over 3000 million US dollars in your hands now.

With just over 3000 million US dollars, I think it's too difficult to overturn such a large company as Haixi International.

"Is it difficult?" An Xiaohai smiled slightly: "I don't think it's difficult. On the contrary, I feel that I have enough chips in my hand. It even feels like using a cannon to kill a mosquito."

"Keep bragging!" Mai Xiaoyu rolled her eyes again.

I'm telling the truth.

Secretary Xiaoyu, think about it, how many chips did I have when I was fighting against Zhu Polong and his gang? Xu Chonghua, he's just another Zhu Polong!

If I can take down Zhu Polong, I can take down Xu Chonghua. Besides, compared to Zhu Polong, Xu Chonghua seems to be a little bit lacking.

Xu Chonghua has him backing him, and the Abyss Organization backing him, but what about me? I have the power of the entire nation backing me. What can he possibly use to fight me?

"Oh yeah, now that you mention it, I have a feeling that Xu Chonghua and his Haixi International are really in danger. How strange!" Mai Xiaoyu said, pouting.

Here we go again! An Xiaohai slapped his forehead, a wry smile on his face.

Mai Xiaoyu is quite immersed in her role.

"Xiao Hai, I have a request!"

"Tell me, let's just call him President Chen. We're already so familiar with each other, let's not try any more of these little tricks..."

"Um, Mr. Chen, when it comes to 'yang-to-yang', could you explain the principles to me in detail beforehand?"

"Why? Are you interested in doing business?"

"Yes, I'm very interested. I want to learn from you!"

"You want to learn how to do business?"

"Of course!" Mai Xiaoyu exclaimed. "I'm almost 30, and in a few years I can apply for retirement. I spend money like water, so I can't just sit around and do nothing after I retire. That's why I want to start a business!"

"How come you can apply for retirement in your 30s?"

"Hmm," Mai Xiaoyu nodded, "Working in our line of work means being under tremendous pressure for a long time, and our lives are extremely irregular, which is quite damaging to our health."

Furthermore, after the age of 35, all bodily functions decline significantly, including reaction time, memory, and energy. Therefore, after 35, one can apply for retirement, at which point the organization will arrange a relatively easy clerical job for us.

"So that's how it is... Wait a minute, isn't that right? I think 073 is way older than 35, isn't he? And 027 is so old, yet he's still working on the front lines, isn't he?"

"Senior 027 is different from me. She dedicated her whole life to the country. She never got married and had no children."

In fact, as the hospital's director, she had already stepped down from her previous role; it was just that she stepped forward again when the country and the organization needed her.

I'm not as great as Senior 027. I also want to get married and have a child of my own. So after this mission is over and the Abyss Organization is destroyed, I will probably apply for retirement and be transferred away from the front line.

But I also feel that if I spend the rest of my days doing clerical work, it will be too boring.

I want to see more of the world and experience different lives, so I'm thinking of changing to a different job or learning to do business and earn some money.

That way, when I have kids, his life will be more comfortable, hehe.

"Hey, judging from your expression, do you already have someone you like?"

"I'm not telling you, ha!"

"Then it's there! I wonder who's so lucky!"

"If you say so, then so be it!" Mai Xiaoyu said, her eyes darting around.

An Xiaohai wanted to laugh, but at the same time he was also very pleased. If Mai Xiaoyu could really realize her dream, An Xiaohai would be happy to see it happen.

"Have you thought about what kind of business you want to start?"

"I've thought about it," Mai Xiaoyu said enthusiastically, "I want to open a flower shop!"

"..."

"What's wrong? Isn't opening a flower shop a good idea?"

"It's not that it's bad..." An Xiaohai frowned slightly, "It's just that it's probably a bit difficult to start a flower shop, and it's even more difficult to make money from it, let alone a lot of money."

"Is that so? Why? Then tell me, what should I do?"

"This is a bit complicated, and it would take quite a long time to explain in detail."

"But I don't have much to do today. If you're really interested, I can start from the basics and help you sort things out to see what you're best suited for."

"Great! I'm interested, very interested!"

"Alright, let's go over there and talk. I'll make you some tea, and we can chat while we drink."

"Okay, wait for me, I'll be right there!" Mai Xiaoyu said as she ran towards her room.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to get a small notebook; I need to write this down!"

An Xiaohai helplessly touched his forehead. Mai Xiaoyu sometimes acts like a child, but you never know if she's faking it!
