Chapter 672: Infiltration

At eleven o'clock, Xie Kaixiao arrived. It was mainly Lu Jiaxin's words that made him feel that this matter was not trivial. He had been thinking about it since the phone call, so he came over as soon as the meeting ended.

When Lu Jiaxin saw him, she noticed that he looked much younger than during their previous encounters. Indeed, power was the best remedy for aging.

Xie Kaixiao asked, "Jiaxin, what's the matter that won't let you get past the checkpoint?"

"Let's talk about it in the study," Lu Jiaxin replied.

Once they entered the study, Lu Jiaxin poured him a cup of tea and slowly said, "Uncle Xie, have some tea first. Li Qing will explain everything to you later."

Both Yan Yijun and Li Qing had been recommended by him, and they had undertaken numerous missions in the past. He believed that they would be more convincing.

Xie Kaixiao was perplexed but did not rush him.

Before he could finish his tea, Li Qing arrived and greeted them, "Boss, Commander."

Lu Jiaxin nodded and instructed, "Tell Uncle Xie about your experiences in SL over the past two years and how you gathered intelligence."

Li Qing remained calm upon hearing this request, as he had expected it. He began narrating his story from the time he first arrived in SL, detailing how his intermediary was exposed and how he narrowly escaped back to the mainland.

Lu Jiaxin was aware of the dangers involved in intelligence gathering, but she had not anticipated the extent of the risks Li Qing had faced during his time in SL. On two occasions, he had come incredibly close to death. His survival could be attributed to two factors: his cautious nature and agile skills, and the ample funding provided by Lu Jiaxin, as the saying goes, "money makes the world go round."

Xie Kaixiao was perplexed and asked, "Jiaxin, why are you inquiring about all this?"

Lu Jiaxin explained, "I know someone called Lao Hei, who helped me find my fifth brother when he went missing. He told me a lot about SL, and it made me feel that something wasn't quite right. So, I asked Li Qing to go there and gather some intelligence."

After saying this, Lu Jiaxin took out the documents Li Qing had brought back and placed them on the table. "I read through these documents last night and discovered that SL's politics, economy, culture, education, technology, and military have been infiltrated in every aspect."

These tactics would later be employed by the hypocritical Americans on this land, giving rise to the phenomenon of the "walking fifty thousand."

Xie Kaixiao maintained a calm expression and said, "Jiaxin, if you have something to say, just say it directly."

Lu Jiaxin continued, "Last year, SL introduced a dual exchange rate system. As long as the ruling party continues to rely on Western-style economists, they will continue to implement similar misguided policies. Uncle Xie, I think we should prepare in advance."

"What kind of preparations should we make?" Xie Kaixiao inquired.

Lu Jiaxin could have directly told him about her prediction of SL's collapse within three years, but she chose her words carefully. "Uncle Xie, in Small Days, the stock and housing markets crashed, leading not only to the bankruptcy of many businesses but also several banks. You know the reason behind this."

"I know," Xie Kaixiao acknowledged. "They fell victim to America's schemes."

Lu Jiaxin explained, "Small Days dared not defy America's demands. Now, the SL leaders are blindly following the advice of Western economists, and they will ultimately suffer the same fate as Small Days."

"No, it will be even worse than Small Days," Lu Jiaxin continued. "Small Days was an independent sovereign country, while SL is a federal state comprising multiple socialist countries, including Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and 12 other member republics. Once its economy collapses, what do you think will happen?"

Xie Kaixiao's voice turned grave as he said, "If SL's economy collapses, it will definitely lead to its disintegration. However, Jiaxin, SL isn't as weak as you think. America and European countries have been trying their best to bring down SL over the years, but they have all failed."

Lu Jiaxin did not argue but simply said, "SL has 15 allied countries, and America also has its fair share of vassal states."

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "I don't know if Yuan Ge has mentioned it to you, but I opened a bank in SL because the investment was so large that I didn't invite him to join."

Xie Kaixiao wasn't foolish either. He asked, "Are you that certain that SL will fall apart?"

With a smile, Lu Jiaxin replied, "I dare not say a hundred percent, but I'm at least eighty percent sure."

Pausing for a moment, she continued, "Opportunities come to those who are prepared, Uncle Xie. I'm getting ready early so that when the time comes, the rewards will be astonishing. If we do nothing and just wait, we won't even get a sip of the soup."

A profiteer had traded just a few hundred cans of beef for four planes, making a profit of over a hundred million. With her bank there, she could make a fortune in finance, and by trading some machinery and equipment, she could make another huge profit. She felt that she might even be able to retire after that.

Xie Kaixiao's mind was in turmoil, and it took a long while for him to calm down. "Jiaxin, does this mean you're certain that America will bring down SL?"

Lu Jiaxin smiled. "What I think doesn't matter, Uncle Xie. What's important is what you and they think. I'll say it again: if we prepare now, we can have meat later; if we don't, we won't even get a sip of the soup."

She felt that America probably hadn't expected to bring down SL so quickly. By starting to plan now, they could definitely obtain many top-secret research materials, which would save them a lot of detours.

Pointing at the documents on the table, Xie Kaixiao asked, "Jiaxin, can I borrow these documents to read? I'll return them to you after I'm done."

Lu Jiaxin waved her hand. "You don't have to return them. I've already read them and have no use for them."

Li Qing interjected, "Commander, I've spent 6.9 million SL dollars in the past two years. These documents were obtained with a lot of money, and they are genuine and reliable."

Not long after arriving in SL, he had discovered that the Russians also highly valued SL dollars, which was why he had used them to bribe people.

Xie Kaixiao was stunned. "You spent that much money?"

Li Qing couldn't help but add, "The expenses were high, but there were no casualties. I also spent a lot of money to buy a pass, or I wouldn't have been able to come back."

Xie Kaixiao fell silent for a moment, then stood up and shook Lu Jiaxin's hand to express his thanks. However, such a big matter wasn't up to him; the decision on how to proceed would have to come from above. But Jiaxin's sincere heart was truly precious.

He put the documents into his briefcase and prepared to leave.

Lu Jiaxin looked at her watch and said, "Uncle Xie, it's already two o'clock. You probably won't have any food if you go back to the office now. Why don't you stay and eat here before you leave?"

Xie Kaixiao was indeed hungry, so he stayed when he heard that food had been prepared. However, he was so preoccupied that he didn't have much of an appetite and only ate a bowl of rice before leaving.
