While it seemed that Vice President Liu was introducing Xing Baohua to a big business opportunity, he was actually helping Xing Baohua build his network of contacts.

What kind of organization is China Merchants Group?

A century-old shop!

From its inception, it was superior to others; it's no exaggeration to say it grew up with a silver spoon in its mouth, receiving preferential treatment in various resources.

With such a strong suction capacity, do you think they can't buy ships? Do they need Xing Baohua to help them buy them? They have two large shipyards alone.

A hundred years ago, their main business was shipping. Asking Xing Baohua to help buy a boat was just an excuse.

Xing Baohua has benefited immensely from building good relations with this national enterprise.

If the US does impose some kind of security sanctions on rice, then he might be able to redeem his funds in the US in advance.

These are all preventative measures.

China Merchants Group is a leader in many fields, and cooperating with them would be a powerful alliance.

Take China Merchants Bank and Ping An Insurance, for example. In the financial sector, even companies like Hainan Investment and Huahong Bank are considered junior partners compared to them.

The saying "a big tree provides good shade" applies here.

After discussing with Vice President Liu, the two got up and went to the conference room. At this time, many people were also learning from each other and discussing the classic financial cases that Haina Investment had handled overseas.

Haina provided some detailed data for their reference and research, especially regarding the countermeasures taken by Xing Baohua, representing the local forces, against the attack on Hong Kong stocks by international speculative capital.

Listing on domestic exchanges is a done deal. Similar attacks by international speculative capital will also happen domestically, so they need to learn how to block and retaliate.

The delegation that had inspected Haina Company was about to leave Hong Kong, and Suya would also return with the delegation to continue her studies.

The NSA, which Xing Baohua is facing, has remained silent for the time being, which is somewhat unusual.

If their people were to go missing or lose contact, the first thing to suspect should be Xing Baohua, but there's nothing going on.

Xing Baohua felt that the other party was holding back a big move or something.

That evening, I went to the safe house. The mysterious person from the National A agency told Xing Baohua, "Zhang Yongwei is an outsider. We don't know much about him. He's no longer of any use to us. You can do whatever you want with him!"

"No value? Then what valuable information did you get from your inquiry?" Xing Baohua asked.

As soon as Xing Baohua finished speaking, the other party handed Xing Baohua a piece of paper and said, "Take a look for yourself and see if it has any value."

Xing Baohua looked at the contents of the paper without saying anything for the time being. After reading it, he took out a cigarette, lit it himself, and then lit the paper, saying, "Thank you."

The contents on the paper are a set of IP address numbers.

The domain name appears to be from the United States. What could this address be? Xing Baohua didn't know yet, but perhaps it held the answer he was looking for.

Zhang Yongwei didn't reveal the accomplices he knew. Even if he had, Xing Baohua could only fire him, but the other side would continue to infiltrate his ranks.

The endless mixing of sand.

On the way back, Xing Baohua felt that this matter should be put on hold. Mainly, she didn't want to attract too much attention from the NSA.

In fact, Xing Baohua had already provoked them even though he didn't want to, but the other party was indeed preparing a big move.

That evening, he unusually didn't go to work and spent quality time with Suya, since he was going back to China the next day. The short time together brought them sweet joy.

When Su Ya left, Xing Baohua took her to the airport. He didn't get out of the car, but waved to her from inside and then saw Su Ya walk towards the terminal.

Upon arriving at the small office, Xing Baohua met Geng Xin and wrote down the address from yesterday, saying, "Shall we use the botnet to investigate this address?"

"Yes, my skills aren't very good yet. Could a teacher help me?" Geng Xin said softly.

"Okay, but be careful! This isn't a simulation exercise. We're facing the most mysterious department, the NSA. In their joking terms, 'nosy' (there's no such department) is the same as the related department we're talking about."

Xing Baohua also joked that he could tell Geng Xin seemed a little nervous.

A programmer from his hometown was assigned to help Geng Xin probe for addresses. As for whether the address was a website, a forum, or something else, Xing Baohua didn't care for the time being.

To fulfill his promise to Zhang Yongwei, Xing Baohua spent money to help him find his family. Some of Zhang's information had already been sent to Zhao Shanhai, who was to hire a private investigator to find his family and take a photo in a very short time.

This actually proves one thing: Xing Baohua is capable of doing certain things. It just costs more money, and from another perspective, it also protects his family.

Of course, that's a bit of a stretch, but bragging doesn't cost anything, right?

Geng Xin was busy activating the botnet, frantically fiddling with the keyboard.

Just then, Xing Baohua's phone rang, and a soft, sweet female voice came from the other end: "Is this Mr. Xing Baohua, President Xing?"

"It's me, who is it?"

"Hello, Mr. Xing, I am Ji Ting, the secretary of Mr. Min, the general manager of China Merchants Group's Hong Kong headquarters. I hope I am not disturbing your work!"

"Hello, Secretary Ji. No offense, Mr. Min wanted to see me?" Xing Baohua knew perfectly well what the meeting was about, but the phone rang as soon as Vice President Liu left.

"Mr. Min would like to ask if you are free these few days and would like to meet with you."

"Oh, haha, my business isn't as big as his. I'm available anytime. Just arrange a time to let me know."

“Okay, is this afternoon alright? Mr. Min will be practicing at the golf course this afternoon, so he has some free time.”

"Okay." Xing Baohua and the secretary agreed on a time, but something felt off. Wasn't it supposed to be the weekend? Why was President Min taking paid time to practice?

Xing Baohua hung up the phone, and Geng Xin interjected, "Boss, the address is in, but I can't understand it."
