Chapter 448: Chapter 428: All Trivial Matters

The plane isn’t large, and its amenities aren’t luxurious, but in terms of safety ratings, this business jet is definitely one of the safest in the world.

Berlin isn’t far from London, so after Gao Yi had previously agreed with Feng Biao to ask around for him, it took less than half an hour for the plane to land, and the call had to be made.

It’s precisely because the plane is safe enough and there were definitely no eavesdropping devices, that he decided to make the call on the plane.

The only hesitation Gao Yi had was to whom he should make the call.

Right now, Gao Yi was able to get in touch with three people: Teacher Mu, Huang Haisheng, and Luo Changyou.

Luo Changyou was out of the question, looking for him would be useless.

He was closest with Teacher Mu, but the problem was, Teacher Mu was truly just a teacher, and although Gao Yi didn’t mind troubling Teacher Mu with a little something now and then, Teacher Mu wasn’t really effective for Feng Biao’s situation.

That left Huang Haisheng as the only option.

With an attitude of giving it a try, Gao Yi called Huang Haisheng. Fortunately, despite the time difference, the call was answered as soon as he dialed.

"Hello, Boss Gao, do you have any business in which you’d like your little brother’s assistance?"

Huang Haisheng’s words sounded somewhat slick and slippery which left Gao Yi uncertain of how to reply. He hesitated for a moment before saying: "Mr. Huang, there is indeed a matter I need to trouble you with."

Huang Haisheng asked about business, and Gao Yi said there was something he wanted Huang Haisheng’s help with. Hearing Gao Yi’s words, Huang Haisheng’s tone immediately changed.

His tone became serious, and even his voice changed. With a deep baritone that gave a strong sense of security, Huang Haisheng said, "Mr. Gao, what can I do for you?"

Gao Yi was greatly impressed by his versatility—it wasn’t just faces he could change but also his voice.

"Here’s the situation, a brother of mine wants to go home for a visit. You know, the guys who run with me, there’s definitely some trouble with their identities. That’s why I’m reaching out to see if you can help out."

"Oh, what’s your brother’s name? I’ll have a friend check it out. Don’t worry, Mr. Gao, as long as there are no principal errors committed, we welcome every prodigal son who returns."

Huang Haisheng clearly misunderstood Gao Yi’s words.

Gao Yi quickly said: "Feng Biao. ’Feng’ as in two horses, ’Biao’ as in a mark. He hasn’t done anything, just worked oversea as a mercenary for a few years."

"That’s easy to deal with then, hang on a second."

The call was left connected, and after about ten seconds, Huang Haisheng spoke again: "Is that all? For a small matter like this, Mr. Gao just need to give the word. Of course, I’ll take care of it for you."

Gao Yi casually said, "Ah, this brother of mine also wants to transfer some money back home, just twenty million dollars. You know, our money movements aren’t very convenient coming in and out. The specifics, I’m not too clear on that, you know..."

"No problem at all, that’s easy. Oh, here comes the information. Feng Biao, born in 1985 in Jinghai, Jinmen, ID number 120223..."

Feng Biao, who was nearby, quickly said, "No need to say more, that’s me, it really is me... I can’t believe it."

Huang Haisheng chuckled twice on the phone, then continued, "It’s just a matter of sneaking out, no problems at all. Twenty million dollars, right? Do you want it exchanged into RMB?"

Gao Yi handed the phone directly to Feng Biao.

Taking the phone, Feng Biao spoke in a low voice, "Exchange it... that’s right... Actually, I want to deposit the money in my own name, but my parents should be able to withdraw it anytime, though only my mother can. Uh, why am I telling you this- if I can get back, I’ll just handle it myself."

Huang Haisheng cheerfully said, "A brother of Mr. Gao is my brother too. Let me be straightforward with you, Brother Feng, are you planning to settle back home or are you just visiting relatives?"

"Just visiting relatives; I don’t want to cause trouble for the country. Is it a hassle if I want to go back from time to time in the future without any issue?"

"No hassle at all, that’s easy to say. Let’s do it this way: I won’t give you a welcome back event this time so that you can have it easy. Regarding the money, just transfer it to a domestic account, or I can set up a family account for you, where the interest is transferred to the family account every month, and your mother can withdraw it anytime. She’s an elder, you see, and it wouldn’t be good if you gave her a large sum directly and she gets scammed by someone."

Huang Haisheng was very straightforward when speaking with Gao Yi but appeared somewhat meticulous when discussing these details with Feng Biao.

But Feng Biao replied enthusiastically, "Right, right, you spoke very well, I need to deposit twenty million dollars, how much would the interest be each month? Would it be enough for my mom to live on? I mean, enough for her to live well?"

"I’ll find you a bank to deposit it in. I’ll negotiate an interest rate of three percent for you. The interest each month would be around two hundred fifty thousand approximately."

"How much? Two hundred fifty thousand in interest per month?"

Feng Biao paused for a moment, then he exclaimed in surprise, "That’s quite a lot! We don’t get any interest when we deposit money in banks overseas, my goodness, two hundred fifty thousand a month?"

"The accounts you’ve stored money in overseas are unnamed accounts; the banks don’t charge you fees, which is already not bad. But this money is clean and legitimate remittance, the interest definitely can’t be less, right?"

"Yes, yes, two hundred fifty thousand a month... My mom will be over the moon. Hey, this time my dad is really under my mom’s thumb, she’ll have him wrapped around her finger."

If Feng Biao’s original family had been really well-off, he wouldn’t have resorted to risking his life on foreign soil.

Listening to Feng Biao’s words, it was clear there were issues in his family but nothing too severe considering he still cared for his father.

Huang Haisheng laughed and said, "Then let’s settle it that way. You still have your passport, right? Just buy a ticket home with your passport."

"My passport has expired..."

"Er, where are you?"

Without hesitation, Feng Biao directly said, "Berlin."

"Go to the embassy in Berlin to renew your passport. Just go straight there, don’t worry about anything else."

Feng Biao exclaimed in surprise, "Don’t have to care about anything?"

"Right, you don’t need to worry about anything, just give your name and that’s enough."

Huang Haisheng was still hearty and direct, he laughed and said: "Let me think if there’s anything else, nope, no problem, just treat it as if you’ve returned from a trip abroad, you don’t need to explain the origin of the money to anyone. After all, as long as you don’t blab about it everywhere, no one will bother you."

"Okay, okay, thank you, thanks a lot."

Feng Biao handed the phone back to Gao Yi, looking utterly disoriented, he said: "That’s settled, man, that was damn quick."

In front of his brother, there’s no need to be modest, Gao Yi said proudly: "What did I tell you, simple, just small matters."

Gao Yi said into the phone: "Thanks, we’ll get in touch if something comes up."

At this moment, Lin Xianghua urgently said from the side: "Ask for me too, ask for me!"

Gao Yi was stunned for a moment, then immediately said: "Brother Huang, wait a second, there’s another thing we need to ask you about, I have a brother, his name is Lin Xianghua... uh, actually, Xiao Lin Xianghua, he wants to start some sort of organization in Liuqiu, that’s Liuqiu, aiming for Liuqiu independence, what do you think we should do about this?"

This time, Huang Haisheng fell silent, after a moment, he spoke in a low voice: "Mr. Gao, it’s not that I don’t understand, but I can’t comment on this, this topic is a bit beyond my expertise, with my identity, it’s not quite appropriate for me to discuss this."

Gao Yi quickly said: "Oh oh, my apologies."

Huang Haisheng spoke unruffled: "However, I think you can ask someone else, someone who understands international politics, an expert in that area, you know, you could ask them."

That was an overt hint.

Who should you ask? Teacher Mu, of course.

Gao Yi suddenly realized and said promptly: "Got it, thanks Boss Huang, we’ll talk more later."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yi immediately dialed Teacher Mu.

Now there’s no need to go through Mu Tianwen, one can only wonder if Mu Tianwen would feel a bit disappointed because of this.

The phone was answered slowly this time, and after a long while, Teacher Mu said with a groggy voice: "Hello, yes..."

"Teacher Mu, it’s Little Gao."

Teacher Mu’s surname is Qin, not Mu.

In this world, the only one who would call Mr. Qin as Teacher Mu is Gao Yi, and calling him Teacher Mu means there’s definitely something up.

It’s like a code name, not used without reason, but when it is, there’s surely something going on.

Teacher Mu’s spirit lifted, he immediately lowered his voice: "What can I do for you, Mr. Gao?"

"I have a friend, he’s a Liuqiu person, now he wants to stir up some things back in his homeland, that kind of thing."

Gao Yi spoke rather vaguely, yet Teacher Mu’s spirit rose again, intrigued, he said: "That kind of thing?"

"Yeah, you know, the kind that starts a prairie fire, is that talkable?"

Teacher Mu pondered for a moment, then said: "Well, let’s put it this way, uh, I understand what you mean, it’s a good thing! However, on principle, our current stance doesn’t support this, you get it, right?"

"Understood, not seeking support, just clueless about how to go about it, that’s why I wanted your advice."

"Then you’ve asked the right person, let me tell you, as for the... creating... creating the right opportunities, I have indeed spent a lot of time researching this and have some insights."

Gao Yi could even feel how excited Teacher Mu on the other end of the phone must be at this moment.

"So, what should we do?"

Teacher Mu said enthusiastically: "Your question is such that I don’t even know where to begin. Let’s first analyze the situation in Liuqiu, the situation there is actually not very optimistic, though there have always been..."

"Teacher Mu, Teacher Mu, wait a minute."

Gao Yi had to interrupt Teacher Mu because right now he didn’t have the time to start a discussion from the grassroots base in Liuqiu with Teacher Mu—there was no time for that.

Teacher Mu had no choice but to stop the lengthy discourse he had just commenced.

Gao Yi whispered: "Otherwise, how about I let my brother directly contact you?"

"Uh, um, that should be... possible!"

Teacher Mu was slightly conflicted, he said: "Your brother is reliable, right?"

"Of course, he’s reliable."

"Then I can’t just contact him directly, but how about this, we can discuss online, right? I’ll chat with him on Facebook or Twitter, just idle talk, that should be fine. We’ll just be history aficionados discussing among ourselves."

Gao Yi readily agreed: "No problem, that’ll work, he’ll follow your account later, shall we leave it at that then?"

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yi turned to Lin Xianghua and said: "All set, you’ll consult with Teacher Mu later on. He specializes in this kind of thing, you can take your time learning from him."
