Chapter 009: The Cunning Rabbit

At the same time

Cape Town International Airport, South Africa

If it were another country, perhaps the difficulty of doing so would be immense, but South Africa at this time is no longer the South Africa of the Boer era.

Although his family could thoroughly investigate the underground money laundering channels throughout the Commonwealth through connections in Great Britain, the problem is that the cost of doing so is too high

"Within two days, this is my requirement. If you can do it, I will pay five hundred thousand US dollars; otherwise, I will look for someone else." Li Qingye placed the five handwritten sheets of paper in Kate's hand

The voice on the other end of the phone asked in surprise: "Is it still late at night over there? What happened?"

Li Qingye would naturally not take citizenship lightly, as conventional channels for obtaining citizenship can easily leave traces of information

The boss... on the other end of the phone quickly explained the background and the sequence of events

Oh? That depends on the situation

I see. The middle-aged man suddenly realized and immediately handed the file to the steward, then instructed, "Have someone look into this Li."

Thomas Morgan flicked his cigar: "Huh ... ... "

Kate glanced at the two checks and realized they were bearer checks from UBS, but he quickly came to the realization that a UBS bearer account is essentially transparent to certain forces

Thomas realized that Li Qingye's counter-surveillance abilities were exceptionally strong. In a situation where the rewards did not match the efforts, he would not engage in such thankless tasks

Li Qingye took a sip of coffee and said, "Manager Kate, I have heard that you are the most professional agent in Cape Town. If I want to obtain South African citizenship, I am not sure what procedures are required."

I have a friend who has gone missing in North America, and I would like to ask your family to help find him

According to the information from the Immigration Department, there is no record of him leaving North America, but there is no information on the public information network regarding this individual traveling to Canada

OK

Meanwhile, in South Africa, another individual purchased a ticket to Madagascar in the name of Li Qingye

Seattle

Thank you, my friend

Hello, what happened?

... ...

Du Jianxin in Pengcheng felt it was quite a tricky situation after receiving the email

The butler continued, "Due to the funds being dispersed across various countries within the Commonwealth, it is exceedingly difficult to trace the whereabouts of this money. Should we continue the investigation?"

With the help of Kate's friend, a Zhang Jieke, who obtained South African citizenship in three years, along with his legitimate identity documents, was quietly generated.

After all, his family's influence extends throughout East Asia and Southeast Asia, while other regions are beyond their reach. Additionally, he cannot openly seek out Li Qingye, which compels him to abandon the idea of searching for her.

After obtaining a new identity, he did not continue to stay in South Africa, but instead took a flight to Hong Kong

Confirm? You should first review my requirements!

However, he soon dismissed the idea of probing further, joking that if the other party's identity were legitimate, they would not spend 500,000 US dollars to engage him. As a professional agent, Kate naturally understood one principle: do not inquire into the privacy of clients

Thank you for the reminder

Pick up those five sheets of paper and examine them one by one

"Mr. Andrew, please." A waiter poured him a cup of coffee.

Thomas, it is I

Du Xinjian said with a smile: "I have a small matter to trouble you with, my friend"

Tomorrow at noon, Room 35 of the Black Rose Restaurant

"Sir, the person that Du is looking for is named Li Qingye. He is the son of the former chairman of the New Letter Group. He arrived in San Francisco yesterday and has since gone missing," the butler stated succinctly.

"One month, it only takes one month." Kate's eyes sparkled with excitement

Half an hour later, the butler walked aside with a file, and the middle-aged man waved his hand to dismiss the two bikini-clad beauties

Moreover, in order to maintain secrecy, he instructed the agents to expand the scope of money laundering to the entire Commonwealth of Nations. After all, it was just over 100 million US dollars. Although this approach resulted in significant costs for Li Qingye, it did enhance security

After hearing the explanation, Du Jianxin's expression darkened even further. If it were merely an accident of losing track, he would not be this angry.

Du Jianxin's expression was grim: "Useless!"

In two minutes

After calming himself down, he hung up the phone. After thinking for a while, he became increasingly wary of Li Qingye. He then picked up the satellite phone on the bedside table and dialed a special number

"Too slow." He casually threw out a check for 100,000 dollars.

He planned to immigrate to Finland through his connections at UBS, and then immediately took a private jet to South Africa. However, when I reviewed the account information at UBS, I discovered that he had spent over one million US dollars in Cape Town. Shortly thereafter, unusual expenditures began to appear in his anonymous account, and by four days ago, the funds in the account had completely disappeared

... ...

It was merely the sudden ringing of the telephone that caused the short, round-faced young man, who had just fallen asleep, to quickly awaken again and pick up the phone

A company that specializes in agency services

The middle-aged man lifted his sunglasses and flipped through the file.

Hello, Du

At this moment, Kate, who had calmed down slightly, also understood that this money was not easy to earn. However, as a Burler, he was in great need of money, and for the sake of money, he could sell anything.

Hehe, a small matter? Please tell me about it

Upon hearing the remuneration of 500,000 dollars, Kate could no longer consider anything else and quickly replied: "No problem, I can have it ready for you within two days"

Yes, the identification document can be obtained tomorrow

Thomas Morgan's eyes sparkled as he smiled and said, "1.8 billion? It seems this little friend is indeed a troublemaker!"

June 8

Moreover, this approach does not guarantee a one hundred percent identification of Li Qingye. If the other party employs traditional methods such as cash or gold for money laundering, bypassing international settlement channels, it is possible to evade investigation

The BRICS countries are not merely a name without substance

Gulu! Kate quickly said: "One week"

After landing in a private jet, Li Qingye, carrying only a shoulder bag, quickly found the UBS branch in Cape Town

"Alright, make sure to handle the hands and feet a bit more cleanly." Li Qingye took another sip of coffee and said, "By the way, if you don't want to cause any trouble, it would be best to launder these two checks. I believe this should be quite easy for Manager Kate, right"

A middle-aged man in shorts lies on a private beach, sunbathing, casually tossing a satellite phone to the butler

Boss, we have lost track of the target in San Francisco, and the other party has already noticed us

Therefore, it is necessary to take an unconventional path

Understood

Kate cast a deep glance at Li Qingye, clearly indicating that a person with such an identity must have issues

No need, just inform Du that the other party was last seen in South Africa. Thomas Morgan waved his hand.

Finally, our personnel restructured some information from special channels and discovered that on the day this individual arrived in San Francisco, they went to a local UBS branch and withdrew funds from an anonymous account, which contained 180 million US dollars

Two anonymous accounts have been reopened, and the funds from the previous anonymous account have been divided into two batches and transferred into these two new accounts

Subsequently, I arrived in the area of Cape Town that specializes in financial services

The sun is shining brightly here in San Francisco, while it is quiet and deep into the night over in Shenzhen

North America, Seattle in America

After Li Qingye left, Kate quickly took action. Since the identity information had already been set up, he did not need to create it himself; he only needed to find a friend in the household registration management department to insert Zhang Jieke's information into it.

This is also the reason why Li Qingye chose this place

The next day at noon, Li Qingye did not go back on her word. After obtaining the identity file, she paid the remaining 300,000 US dollars to the other party

Only in chaos can opportunities arise

Sir, we have already located that person's whereabouts

At this time, the assets under Zhang Jieke's name have no relation to Li Qingye, and the two have no intersection whatsoever.

After arriving in Hong Kong, he found several professional agents on this side of Hong Kong to launder the funds from the anonymous account, and then injected them under the name of an offshore company

Find someone? OK, send me his information, and I will give you a response within half a month

This is a deposit of 100,000 US dollars. How long will it take to receive it?" Li Qingye casually tossed the check onto the table

Thomas Morgan took a puff of his cigar and said, "Very clever, it seems he already knows that UBS might leak information and has preemptively transferred all the funds"

This redefined identity is that of a Malaysian Chinese named Zhang Jieke, aged 35, who previously experienced an investment failure in South Africa. He later married a local tribal woman and obtained South African citizenship 3 years ago. This year, his wife passed away unexpectedly
