Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"Ah Lai, thank you for your hard work!"

"It's not hard at all! I'm just worried about you all every day. Are you all alright? How about Kunji? Has his injury healed?"

Are you sure it's safe to talk from there?

"It's safe. Brother Li thoroughly checks my office every day and hasn't found any eavesdropping devices."

"That's good. We're all fine, don't worry. We'll see each other soon. Time is tight, so let's not talk about this now."

"Okay, boss. Tell me, what should we do?"

"Have you determined exactly who it is?"

"We're pretty sure, but there are two suspects: Zhang Ligang and Liu Yang. I can't tell who they are yet, and neither can Brother Li and the others."

"Isn't Zhang Ligang your college classmate? Or did you invite him to the company? Why are you now suspecting him?"

"I don't know either, it's just a feeling. At first, I thought he was pretty normal, but the longer we spent together, the more I felt there were many unsolved mysteries about him."

Brother Li shared the same view. He thought Zhang Ligang was too perfect, too flawless. The timing and reasons for his entry into the company were also too perfect, as if they were tailor-made for me.

Brother Li said, "It's very likely that he was the one who kept coaxing me into contacting him, and then inviting him to the company."

"I understand, that is indeed very suspicious, but we don't have time to confirm these things now. Let's treat them both as enemies."

Whom did you send to Jingxi Industrial to sort out the accounts?

"I originally wanted to send Liu Yang over, but Zhang Ligang said that Jingxi Industry is a potential big client and we must take it seriously. He took the initiative to take on this job, and he went there a couple of days ago. Didn't you know about this?"

"I know, when did he arrive? I mean the exact time."

"He left around 9:10. He came to the company first to pick up some documents, and then drove off with his assistant. I even drove him to the parking lot."

"Okay, got it. What's Liu Yang doing now?"

"He is now mainly in charge of the financial management of all the small companies. I didn't dare to hand over the accounts of Qiaoyu Group to him."

"Very good. From now on, you can ignore these two people and be ready to take action at any time."

"Okay, that's great! I've actually been preparing for this for a long time, just waiting for this day!"

"You need to be careful, they're not so easy to deal with. You've been practicing the self-defense techniques Brother Li taught you, haven't you?"

"Of course I'm practicing. I don't want to die at the last minute at the hands of the enemy! Hehe, Brother Li said I'm practicing pretty well, but I'm just a little lacking in talent in this area, so I can only practice to this level."

But as long as I'm careful and don't encounter more than two enemies at once, I can handle it!

"That's good. Make the final preparations. The decisive battle is coming soon, in about five or six days."

"Okay! Don't worry, boss! I've been waiting for this day for so long! I can finally be with everyone again! Haha!"

"Don't be too nervous or too excited. Don't show it in front of others. Take care of yourself. This is the last chance. Find a chance to tell Brother Li this news. I won't call him."

"Okay, boss, you be careful too. I'll be waiting for your call!"

"Okay, goodbye."

Goodbye, boss!

An Xiaohai hung up the phone, took a deep breath, stood up, and walked to the French windows.

Lai Donglin was the biggest bait that An Xiaohai laid out to lure An Zhehao.

As An Xiaohai got to know An Zhehao better, he became certain that no amount of bait would be able to lure An Zhehao in, except for one thing: huge profits.

An Xiaohai handed over the fortune he obtained from Yulong Wanghai to the Security Department for handling. The Security Department did not make this public; those who knew about it were all high-ranking officials in the Security Department and the Safety Department.

An Zhehao most likely doesn't know about this; judging from his various reactions, he probably really doesn't know.

Then An Zhehao would think that this wealth is still in An Xiaohai's hands, and the reason why An Xiaohai has not used this wealth is because the security department is watching too closely.

The placement of security personnel around Lai Donglin was also intended to mislead An Zhehao, making him believe that the reason An Xiaohai excluded Lai Donglin from many operations was because the security personnel were keeping an eye on Lai Donglin.

The reason the Security Department targeted Lai Donglin was because much of that wealth required the involvement of professionals like Lai Donglin to potentially realize its value.

The "Brother Li" that Lai Donglin mentioned is actually 082 from the Security Department.

Contrary to An Cheol-ho's assessment, 082 was not lurking around Lai Dong-lin to keep an eye on him; rather, 073 was transferred there to protect Lai Dong-lin and prevent An Cheol-ho's men from getting close to him.

Lai Donglin's professional expertise and his relationship with An Xiaohai may not be clear to others, but An Zhehao must know it all too well.

An Zhehao would never let Lai Donglin go. Through Lai Donglin, he could not only keep track of An Xiaohai's movements, but also potentially find that huge fortune.

He will definitely send someone to get close to Lai Donglin, and when his people get close to Lai Donglin, they will definitely discover the existence of 082.

This explains everything:

Because Lai Donglin was just an actuary and accountant, and fighting was not suitable for him, An Xiaohai arranged for him to stay in the Qiaoyu Group and lie low as a legal citizen, waiting for the right opportunity to unlock that treasure.

The security department noticed this situation and sent people to keep a close eye on Lai Donglin. Throughout the year, apart from participating in the T country operation that the security department could not effectively monitor, Lai Donglin spent most of his time honestly running his finance company.

Now, the time is almost ripe, and the security personnel are gradually lowering their guard.

If Lai Donglin suddenly disappears at this point in time, it must be because An Xiaohai has returned, and he wants to deal with that fortune together with An Xiaohai.

Once Ahn Cheol-ho discovers this situation, he will definitely follow up, and he will likely take action personally. He can't rest easy leaving such a large fortune entirely to his subordinates.

This was a real trap set by An Xiaohai for An Zhehao, and it had been in place for quite some time.

An Xiaohai was so patient because 073 and the others had told him that for a country, a few years or decades is just a very short time.

The most reliable approach is to plan for the long term, proceed steadily and step by step. This is the first time An Xiaohai has used a trap with such a long time span, and this trap is specifically designed to deal with An Zhehao.

In addition, all his actions appeared very hasty, striving to start and produce results in the shortest possible time.

Now, the time has come to launch this plan.

"Don't disappoint me. You must be able to notice Lai Donglin's unusual behavior... You can notice it, otherwise you wouldn't be An Zhehao, you wouldn't be the all-powerful Nemesis..."

An Xiaohai let out a breath and clenched his fist.

No one in the Abyss Organization is a good person. An Xiaohai could see through An Zhehao, and Hermes could do the same, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to reach that position.

However, Hermes still orchestrated a trap to lure An Zhehao out with An Xiaohai, which is enough to show that he had no good intentions from the beginning.

As for why Hermes did this, An Xiaohai didn't bother to think about it. In any case, whatever his real purpose was, this time, he could only suffer a great loss.

Kang Jiaxiang said that Hermes might come in person, and he hopes that he will come in person. If he dares to come in person, he will surely leave a very beautiful memory here!

An Xiaohai looked out the window. The sun was shining brightly outside. In June, Haixi Province was experiencing its hottest period.
