After putting away the radio, An Moxue looked at her hands with some disgust, went into the bathroom, washed them repeatedly, and only came out of the bathroom satisfied after a while.
She looked at Stephen, kicked him a few more times, then pushed open the door, checked that there was no one in the hallway outside, quickly went out, closed the door, and ran away.
He found a hidden storage room, went inside, entered the space, set a time, and then went back to his bedroom to sleep.
An Moxue slept until late at night. When the alarm rang, she quickly got dressed and left the space.
I took out my compass and checked it. Great, we're already on the high seas.
Then, carefully avoiding the crowds, they returned to Stephen's room.
With a hint of disgust, she put Stephen into a bag, carefully carried him to a secluded corner, and then tossed him into the sea.
An Moxue clapped her hands and quickly left.
The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, she left her cabin, wearing a long, flowing dress and looking rather languid. She wandered around the ship's dining hall, bar, and deck, but did not hear any news of anyone going missing.
It wasn't until the ship was about to dock that a commotion broke out on board. An Moxue saw from afar that the head of the business delegation was somewhat exasperated, saying, "What did you say? There's still no news of Stephen? Where did he go? When did he disappear? You're only finding out now? No, no one on board can disembark; they must be investigated."
The members of the expedition team dispersed; some went to contact the captain, some went to look for others, and only the team leader remained behind, his face flushed with anger.
The people waiting to disembark all looked towards the head of the expedition team, but no one listened to him. They all carried their luggage and walked down to the lower deck in an orderly manner.
An Moxue disembarked smoothly and stood on the dock. She could still see the group leader and the captain having a very unpleasant argument, which could be faintly heard on the shore. Every now and then, people could be seen stopping to watch.
An Moxue concealed her achievements and fame, put away her smile, and walked out of the dock.
She took a few deep breaths and felt that the weather on Hong Kong Island was different from that in Shanghai. Hong Kong Island was more humid and hot, while Shanghai was cooler. Each had its own characteristics. In particular, An Moxue liked the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong Island the most. It was full of vitality and hope.
An Moxue took a taxi to her home in the hillside villa. First, she called Zhuang Zhou to say she would visit the company the next day. Then she called Rong Anli and Huo Yuanchen to arrange a meeting in the afternoon to discuss the next investment.
After making all the other calls, An Moxue called a cleaning service to schedule a house cleaning.
After making the call, she took her suitcase and went back to her bedroom, then went into the bathroom to take a shower.
As soon as she came out, she heard a knock on the door. When she opened it, she saw that it was the cleaning lady she usually saw. An Moxue invited her in and went to the kitchen to cook while the cleaning lady cleaned.
When An Moxue finished cooking, the housekeeper had already cleaned the living room and dining room and was cleaning other areas.
After cleaning the area designated by An Moxue, the aunt left with her commission. She sat at the table eating the dishes she had made, feeling a little unaccustomed to being alone. She chuckled self-deprecatingly, thinking that it really made sense to only pay for twenty-one days, as it was a habit.
After finishing her meal, An Moxue put on a simple everyday makeup look and drove off.
She first went to Red Fox's bar in Hong Kong. It was during their break time, so she entered through the back door. There were only two people minding the bar, and they were both very excited to see An Moxue arrive.
"Chief, what brings you here at this hour?"
An Moxue patted his shoulder reassuringly and said, "It's nothing. I just need to contact Boris. Also, please compile a list of things that have happened in Hong Kong recently, especially regarding the Kuroda family's activities there. Make sure it's detailed. Understand?"
"Yes, Chief, I'll get right away. Please wait a moment."
After everyone left the house, An Moxue dialed the phone number of Oseri Boris.
As soon as the call connected, An Moxue said, "Boris, it's me."
When Boris heard An Moxue's call, it was like heavenly music to his ears. His first words were, "Chief, when are you coming back?"
"What happened?" An Moxue's voice seemed to have a calming effect.
Boris breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Some minor issues have been resolved. However, the leader couldn't contact you in time. Although I can handle some things, I always feel that I can't do them as perfectly as you do."
An Moxue chuckled, "Stop flattering me. It's done, so go for it! Have you forgotten our goal? To be flying private jets all over the world handling business. You'll be busy then!"
"The leader is right. I'd like to report to you on recent events."
An Moxue sat in her seat, holding the phone in one hand and tapping the table lightly with the other. "Go ahead."
"Since you left, Red Fox has been developing smoothly. We have opened five more branches. The scientists you invited to the company are well protected. The projects are progressing smoothly. Although we have encountered several assassination attempts, we have escaped unscathed. The first oil well has been drilled. The surrounding protection is in place, and there will be no major problems."
An Moxue said, "Thank you for your hard work, Boris."
Boris continued, "Boss, we've made some progress on the Kuroda family and their affairs that you asked me to investigate, but the details will take some time to work out, and it's quite a large undertaking. May I ask you, Boss, what are your plans for investigating them?"
"How about embezzlement?" An Moxue casually dropped a bombshell on Boris over the phone.
Boris was momentarily dazed. "Chief, the Kuroda family of the Wa-nu Kingdom is much more difficult to deal with than the fourth family of the Xiaohe Kingdom."
"Of course, setting a challenging goal is what gives us the motivation to move forward, isn't it? If we're afraid of this, then when we hear about the world's top ten families, we'll be terrified. How can we build a world-dominating business empire then? Hmm~ don't you think so?"
Boris was once again captivated by the future promised by An Moxue. He said to An Moxue with some excitement, "Leader, don't worry, I will definitely be able to do what you asked me to do."
An Moxue affirmed once again, "Yes, I believe in you, Boris. You have the ability."
"Yes, we will certainly live up to the leader's expectations."
After hanging up the phone, Boris was energized, reminiscing about all the moments he and An Moxue had shared over the years, his mind filled with plans for the future.
No, he needs to work hard!
An Moxue had no idea that her phone call would push Boris further down the path of becoming a workaholic.
A knock on the door interrupted An Moxue's meditation. She came to her senses and said, "Come in."
The bar manager came over, took a folder, placed it on An Moxue's table, and said respectfully, "Boss, please take a look. If there's anything unclear, I'll add more details."
Upon hearing this, An Moxue opened the folder and began to read it.
