No. 1 Harbour Road, Wan Chai District, Hong Kong, is a five-star Grand Hyatt Hotel in Hong Kong Island.

It was early Wednesday morning on October 29th.

Sung Tae-hee, who has been staying in this hotel for a week, has recently become accustomed to morning swimming. Every morning after getting up and before breakfast, she has to come to the bath in the hotel to swim for a while.

This is a kind of psychological shadow.

After the incident in Seoul on October 18, early the next morning, she was approached by Seoul police and taken away directly.

During the interrogation, 36-year-old Sung Tae-hee was scared to death in the face of threats such as life imprisonment and treason.

Complete literal meaning.

However, it was because of that collapse and the unrestrained ridicule of the men in the interrogation room that Sung Tae-hee returned to some Qingming Festival.

After graduating from Seoul University, she directly joined Kia Group and worked diligently for the company for more than ten years. Not only did her marriage break down due to work, she didn't even have children. Now, she is almost middle-aged and suddenly lost her job, and then she fell into prison for life. What else can she have to lose?

It's better to have a last try.

It is probably the sixth sense of a woman's instinct. Cheng Tae-hee feels that although the boss mentioned by Quan Zhengting doesn't know who the other party is, she should not let them fall.

So he gritted his teeth.

Even though the interrogator said that the other people had admitted it, she insisted on keeping silent.

She bet right.

In just two days, she was picked up by a lawyer from somewhere, thinking that she was temporarily released on bail, but unexpectedly, everything was straightforward and nothing happened.

Not only that, in addition to a considerable bonus for each person, they also got the opportunity to come to Hong Kong for a vacation.

What a pity is that there were only six left in the first small team of nine people.

Among them was the one who had been with her for several months. Although the other party was three years younger than her, she was also single. Before the incident, Kim Pyeongzhan had already expressed his feelings to her. However, on the day of the arrest, in order to relieve the guilt, Kim Pyeongzhan told her everything and pushed all the things they did together on her.

Regaining freedom, the first thing Sung Tae-hee wants to do is to ask that person if he still has a little bit of a man's responsibility?

However, she finally met only six of them with a small team of nine people.

The lawyer who took her out said that since Jinping and the other two have pleaded guilty, of course they will be punished.

Sung Tae-hee finds it ironic.

And, I soon completely forgot that person.

Then everyone came to Hong Kong with their families, only Cheng Tae-hee was alone. Occasionally, she couldn't help but fantasize deep down. If Kim Ping-zhan survived this time, perhaps they could go on a trip and get married. She was a few years older than him, but she couldn't afford to wait. It would be better to have a child as soon as possible.

Now, thinking about the hateful faces that mocked her in the interrogation room, and the disgusting man who wanted to put all the blame on her, Cheng Tae-hee felt that she would rather find a woman.

After several rounds of traveling in the swimming pool, Cheng Tae-hee, who was wearing a sexy bikini, had a pretty figure and fair skin, climbed the armrest and went ashore. Just as she was about to walk to the lounge chair with her bathrobe, someone had already handed over a large bath towel. She was a tall white man in swimming trunks, and was in her thirties, with short blonde hair, stubble, and a warm smile.

He also greeted in English: "Good morning, ready, how about having breakfast together later?"

But Cheng Tae-hee pretended not to see her, and did not take the big bath towel handed over by the other party. She walked to a recliner, took out her bathrobe from her bag and wrapped it.

The man was obviously a little unwilling to accept it and seemed to be patient, but his tone was somewhat dissatisfied: "Hey, okay, don't you even want to say good morning?"

Sung Tae-hee took out a towel from her bag and wiped her hair. She looked over and frowned and said in skillful English: "Mr. Edel, if you harass me again, I will call the police."

The man's name is Hans Edel.

Since I met Sung Tae-hee when I came to the morning swimming four days ago, I will come here every day.

He also introduced himself that he is from Germany and is a vice president of Deutsche Bank's derivatives trading department. He is currently in charge of derivatives trading affairs in Asia.

Sung Tae-hee has no good feelings for men recently, and listening to the other party’s introduction of herself with smugness, it is even more impossible to give her a good face. It is obvious that the other party is an international speculator who has turned Asia upside down in recent months. To some extent, it has indirectly promoted Kia’s bankruptcy and her unemployment.

Hans Edel seemed to regret his tone just now when he heard Sung Tae-hee's words, and raised his hands slightly: "Okay, Sung, I'm sorry, I mean, I thought Korean girls were very gentle."

Sung Tae-hee's expression did not improve at all: "Mr. Edel, please pay attention to your words. I am not a 'girl', and you are too prejudiced."

After saying this, Cheng Tae-hee ignored the other party and picked up her bag and walked straight out of the pool.

Hans Edel looked at Cheng Tae-hee's figure, which was still charming and elegant even though she was wrapped in a bathrobe, and she couldn't help but breathe a little quickly. She originally planned to give up, but now she thought about it. Maybe she could try twice, but she could only try twice. As a top derivatives trader, he was well aware of the principle of stopping losses in time.

My own time is precious and it is impossible to waste it on a girl for a long time.

After making up his mind, when Cheng Tae-hee disappeared, Hans Edel put on a bathrobe, left the pool and returned to his suite in the hotel, heading straight to the bedroom.

An Asian girl on the big bed felt that she was being held down slightly roughly by a heavy body. She opened her eyes and then showed some flattering expressions, hugged the man's neck and said in a coquettish voice: "Hans, what time is it now?"

Hans Edel smiled and said, "It's not yet 7:30, baby, we have plenty of time."

The woman suddenly opened her mouth a little, recovered, and then said in a coquettish voice: "Hans, you said last night that your fund made a lot of money. Can you take me to Europe?"

"Baby, we won't talk about this now."

"You, oh, bad guy."

After a lot of fun, Hans Edel went to take a shower, put on his clothes, and went to the hotel restaurant alone.

It was a coincidence that I met Sung Tae-hee again who was having a meal with several other people.

Hans Edel didn't know China's thirty-six strategies, but he also knew the reason for playing hard to get. This time he did not come forward to entangle. He just smiled at Cheng Tae-hee and others from afar, and picked a window-by-wind view of Victoria Harbor.

A waiter here already knew his habits and sent some major newspapers in Asia today. He skillfully took the generous tips and smiled and said in Cantonese: "Mr. Edel, is it still the same?"

Hans Edel also returned in Cantonese: "Of course."

One of the important factors that were sent to Asia was that Hans was fluent in Cantonese and Mandarin, and he also knew Japanese and a small amount of Korean. However, in front of women, Hans Edel always spoke English because he found that women in Asia were more likely to eat this set. If you use Cantonese or other things, you would be looked down upon. As for his native German, it was a pity that he didn't know much.

After the waiter left, Hans Edel picked up a copy of the Sing Tao Daily and his expression became cautious.

Hans Edel was sent directly from the headquarters by Deutsche Bank four months ago and was fully responsible for the derivatives trading team in Asia. The reason for this is mainly to avoid the accident that the Asian team would commit the unexpected incident of the bankruptcy of Bahrain due to the unauthorized transaction of a fool trader two years ago.

In fact, afterwards, major banks around the world strengthened relevant supervision. Hans Edel arrived in Asia this time, and also had the plan to make a fortune for Deutsche Bank during the Asian financial crisis.

From the end of June to the present, Hans Edel has gained a lot in four months.

In Asia, several Deutsche Bank derivatives trading teams located in Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapore respectively, have soared from US$3.6 billion four months ago to US$5.3 billion now, and their book profits have reached US$1.7 billion. It is expected that in the next few days, the Hang Seng Index futures and other contracts in Hong Kong will be delivered, and the profit figures will rise again.

Hans Edel has been privately planning that he might use this year's huge bonus to buy a luxury house in Hong Kong and come to play in the future.

However, the reason why Hans Edel has reached his current position at the age of 34 is that Hans Edel has not been lost because of the victory in the past few months. It is during this period. According to various clues, Hans Edel instinctively felt that the situation in Hong Kong may undergo some unexpected changes.

On the other hand, with his insistence, several teams had more than US$5.3 billion in capital, and US$4.5 billion had already been pressed on short positions in Hong Kong such as Hang Seng Index Futures and Hong Kong currency. In the same turbulent Taiwan and South Korea, one had too good economic foundation and the other was obviously too low in oil and water, and he only bet on a few.

As of yesterday's Tuesday closing, the Hang Seng Index had officially fallen below the 10,000 point mark as many people expected, closing at 9,639 points.

Deutsche Bank has had several short bets in the 9,000-point range, some of which have begun to make profits.

It is expected that on Friday's settlement day, if nothing unexpected happens, the Hang Seng Index is expected to fall to around 9,000 points. Then, after completing the delivery of all contracts, Hans Edel's total capital management will easily exceed US$6 billion. Everything goes well, and it is no problem to purchase a property in Singapore.

However, out of some instinct of an elite trader, Hans Edel always feels uneasy.

Various recent clues have also proved that his uneasiness is not delusion.

One of them, the Hang Seng Index fell from a high of 16,000 points four months ago to the current 9,000 point range. Hans Edel paid attention to and participated throughout the whole process, and clearly felt that because everyone was not optimistic about the Hang Seng Index being able to stick to it. There were not many longs willing to take over the short contracts above 10,000 points.

However, during this period, the long capital that emerged seems to be... a little too much.

Some people may think that Hong Kong may also include the economic fundamentals of the entire mainland China behind it enough to support the Hang Seng Index's 10,000 points high. This argument is not new, but Hans Edel just felt that there are obviously too many optimistic people.

If things are impermanent, there will be demons.

The Deutsche Bank team, including the headquarters, generally believes that the Hang Seng Index may eventually fall to 7,000 points. 9,000 points, which is far from the bottom. However, Hans Edel just feels that perhaps, next month, he should significantly reduce his short positions in Hong Kong and move to South Korea or Japan.

Even if he earns less, his current performance is enough to pay for his headquarters, and his bonus will not be able to escape.

People should not be too greedy.

After carefully and quickly reading the mainstream newspapers in Asia, Hans Edel carefully analyzed them through the entire breakfast time. The information in the public media still showed that the financial situation in various Asian countries or regions continued to sway, and there was no sign of any reversal.

Could it be that I am really a little too careful?

Hans Edel originally thought that maybe the team could close the short position at around 9,800 points in the morning, at least part of the position. However, after breakfast, after hesitating, Hans Edel still felt that it would be best to take a look. If the Hang Seng Index really falls to around 9,000 points in the next few days and close the position at 9,600 points at this time, it would be a pity.

9000 points!

Hans Edel draws a line for himself in his heart.

By next month, as long as the Hang Seng Index falls below 9,000 points, it will significantly reduce short positions against Hong Kong stocks and foreign exchange markets to below $1 billion.

Hans Edel is still thinking about his own affairs, and on the other hand, Kwon Zhengting, Cheng Tae-hee and others have already used breakfast.

When he left the restaurant, the wife of Kwon Zhengting, who was holding hands, was curious about asking about the foreign man he had just said hello to them. Sung Tae-hee explained a few words, and Won Shin-hee smiled and encouraged: "Tae-hee, I think you can try it. Foreign men should be more reliable than Pingtan."

Before Sung Tae-hee could answer, Kwon Zhengting, who was walking in front, turned his head and stared at him: "Don't mention the name of that traitor again."

Yuan Shin-hye was scolded by her husband, and she really didn't dare to say anything more. Since her husband took on the noble figure and survived the most important test, the man was more authoritative in their family, and Yuan Shin-hye has become more obedient to her husband. Even if the man has been fooling around in various nightclubs in Hong Kong in recent days, she would not say anything.

Fortunately, my own men are also sensible and do not stay home at night.

On the other hand, Choi Jae-hyun's wife Yu Miha stood up for the wrongdoing of Yuan Shin-hye: "Zheng Ting, Shin-hye has not made any mistakes, why are you mad at her?"

Then Yu Meihe was scolded by her husband and also turned off instantly.

Sung Tae-hee found it a little funny, but she didn't comment. She made up her mind and it would be better not to get married.

The five people said as they left the restaurant.

As soon as I arrived at the elevator, the elevator door opened. A tall and thin man in his thirties wearing a gray suit with sunglasses came out with two tall and beautiful girls in his body. Seeing Kwon Zhengting and Choi Jae-hyun, he immediately greeted them enthusiastically in a weird accent that made people feel uncomfortable.

The two men were also very enthusiastic. After half a baccarat, everyone passed by.
