Chapter 101: Black Monday

  October 18, 1987, Hong Kong stock market opened and began a slow decline.

  At first, the decline in the stock market did not attract the attention of the general public, but this continuous decline soon triggered panic among some more sensitive investors. Because just a few days ago on October 16th, the New York stock market fell by more than 5% after making new highs during the summer, and as usual, the Hong Kong stock market would eventually be affected.

  Singapore, Liu Bihua, Zhou Huijie and Li Shanshan, the three people were nervously looking at the stock market data.

  In those days, stock market data could not be displayed through computer networks and had to rely on relatively backward means such as telephone, telegram and fax.

  Dozens of phones rang in the room, and dozens of financial experts were busy. Various comprehensive data were constantly being counted and handed over to Zhou Huijie and Li Shanshan.

  Zhou Huijie looked at the data and said, "Hua, you said your prediction is really accurate? From the current situation, it's normal for the Hong Kong stock market to fall... Is it true that tomorrow, the 19th, there will be a panic sell-off? We are preparing to enter the US stock market according to your request, this is a huge transaction, we can't afford to be careless!"

  Liu Bihua smiled and said: "Predictions are just predictions... when they can't come true."

  "Ah...... won't be, right? We've all been exhausting our families to raise funds...... Your one sentence is so casual...... Isn't it making us waste our efforts?" Li Shan Shan scolded.

  Xuan Xuan, don't be in a hurry. I think Bao Hua must have his reasons... Besides, money is just external wealth, more or less it doesn't matter. The feelings between the three of us are what's most important! - Zhou Huijie laughed.

  Li Shanshan smiled and said: "I'm not in a hurry myself... but some of the funds I prepared this time belong to Singapore... let's just leave it at that. Anyway, I really trust Hua! If Hua says the stock market will fall on the 19th, then it definitely will fall! Is that right?"

  Liu Bihua smiled and said: "Right! I'll say that the earth will explode tomorrow... then the earth will definitely explode!" Liu Bihua chuckled after finishing speaking.

  "I'm not going to bother with you anymore! You're always making fun of others! Anyway, we don't care, we just want to enter the US stock market! We bet that the US stock market will plummet! Win or lose, it doesn't matter!"

  It was almost noon when Zhou Huijie looked at the data on the big screen and said, "We've been tracking the stock markets of major countries around the world, and so far, everything is normal! There's no sign that a stock market disaster will occur tomorrow, the 19th! Bao Hua, your prediction..."

  In fact, Zhou Huijie and Li Shanshan now blindly believe in Liu Baojun! If analyzed rationally, a Singaporean and a Hong Kong socialite believing in a mainland auxiliary police officer... this is undoubtedly extremely ridiculous!

  Liu Bihua stood up, stretched and said: "It's time for lunch! Let's go! Today we'll have some Chinese food. You won't say that Singapore doesn't have Chinese food, will you?" Liu Bihua knew that the Korean Free Economic Zone had many ethnic Chinese from Singapore, so there should be a lot of Chinese restaurants in Singapore.

  Zhou Huijie smiled and said: "No need to say Li Shanshan... I already know! Let's go, we'll take you for a spin! You see which house you like and we'll eat at that one."

  Liu Bihua nodded, and the three of them went downstairs. Seeing a large group of soldiers preparing to provide protection again, Liu Bihua frowned and said: "Shanshan, I think it's better not to make a fuss, just find a few ordinary guards... You two are like this... How will you live in the future? I don't have money to hire bodyguards for you."

  Li Shanshan's face turned red and she said awkwardly: "This... is mainly to protect you... Okay, I'll let them go with just a few people."

  "I'm just a stinky man... do I still need protection? Haha, leaving a few people to drive is fine." Liu Bihua could see that the Li family in Singapore's military was absolutely powerful. This actually made Liu Bihua feel worried. He had inexplicably come to Singapore... Fortunately, the relationship between Singapore and our country was not bad! If he had come to America, he would probably be beaten as a spy after returning home! But even in Singapore, Liu Bihua didn't want to have too much close contact with the military! After all, he was still an active mainland soldier, and many aspects were inconvenient.

  After dozens of minutes, Liu Bihua found a Chinese restaurant and was chatting intimately with the boss in the dialect of Hanjiang City. Fellow villagers meet old friends... The boss of the Chinese restaurant knew that Liu Bihua came from the Hanjiang Economic Zone and was very excited! He learned from Liu Bihua's mouth that the Hanjiang Economic Zone is now developing rapidly... The boss of the Chinese restaurant moved his heart to return and invest.

  Liu Bihua warmly left his phone number... and patted his chest, saying that he would definitely help if he invested in the Hanjiang Economic Special Zone! The boss of the Chinese restaurant was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth! He knew that the cars Liu Bihua took were very important! People like Liu Bihua must be treated with good relations.

  This lunch was eaten very happily by Liu Bihua. In the afternoon, Liu Bihua took another nap in her room. However, this nap was still quite luxurious - Zhou Huijie and Li Shanshan took turns giving Liu Bihua a massage, saying that Liu Bihua's body had just recovered and needed to have its meridians unblocked.

  Liu Bihua is of course aware that the two girls are trying every means to strengthen their feelings with him! As Zhou Huijie said: They must strike while the iron is hot! Otherwise, once Liu Bihua leaves Singapore... everything will be too late!

  Liu Bihua is a good comrade who understands people's intentions, so he also lets Zhou Huijie and Li Shanshan bully him. In the end, Comrade Liu Bihua enjoyed being surrounded by both sides again - Zhou Huijie and Li Shanshan finally crawled into Liu Bihua's quilt, and the three of them slept together in their clothes.

  Liu Bihua saw the two beauties hugging him on both sides with happy faces and felt exceptionally calm in his heart! Liu Bihua didn't know how long this happy life would last... As he thought about it, Liu Bihua also fell fast asleep.

  Afternoon stock markets around the world still didn't fluctuate much, which made Liu Bihua's confidence start to waver. According to past history, it seemed that on the 18th, the Hong Kong stock market would start to fluctuate greatly... Has history changed? Will tomorrow's Black Monday not appear? Ah, let things happen naturally! Anyway, knowing this historical event... Liu Bihua felt extremely unwilling to give up without a fight!

  By the time the market closed in the evening, Zhou Huijie and Li Shanshan didn't say anything else. Anyway, they were already prepared, how the stock market would be on the 18th was no longer important, what's important is the 19th!

  At night, Liu Binghua still had to go back to the hospital... He was still a patient, so Zhou Huijie and Li Shanshan also came to the hospital for company.

  Liu Bihua saw Zhou Huijie and Li Shanshan sitting on either side of the hospital bed, looking very tired... so he smiled wryly: "You two, might as well go back to sleep. Starting tomorrow, your tasks will be extremely arduous for several days in a row! So tonight you must rest and recharge. Alright?"

  "Not good! To be honest, we two don't dare to leave you now... We are very afraid that when we're not by your side... You'll abandon us and run away after just one night!"

  Liu Bihua said helplessly, "This... you should be at ease, right? Besides, I don't have any identification on me now... where can I run to? Oh, I don't have any identification... how is it possible for me to enter Singapore's borders? Hey, did I sneak in or something? Then I'd better be careful, don't want to get caught!"

  Liu Bihua is now thinking that the possibility of sneaking in is the greatest! To go through the entry procedures of two countries, it would take at least ten days to half a month! The fact that she can lie in this hospital so quickly... I estimate that she must have snuck in! However, Li Shanshan's family is quite powerful, and it's unlikely that the police will come to investigate her, so Liu Bihua isn't worried.

  Zhou Huijie covered her mouth and laughed: "Baihua, you really are an illegal immigrant! But don't worry, you're the highest-level illegal immigrant in Singapore! I guarantee no one will dare to come and catch you!"

  Liu Bihua rubbed his nose and smiled at Li Shanshan, saying: "I've thought of this! Ah, Shanshan's family must be a big rich man in Singapore! Protecting me is no problem, right?"

  Li Shan said with a smile, "Of course! Not only is he a big rich man... but also an ultra-big rich man!" After Li Shan finished speaking, the three of them couldn't help but burst out laughing. This laugh woke them all up completely.

  Liu Bihua got up and looked at the time, frowned and said: "No! We must rest now! Shan Shan, otherwise we'll go to a hotel, you go and deal with the hospital."

  "Go to the hotel?" Upon hearing these three words, Zhou Huijie and Li Shanshan's hearts immediately skipped a beat. What does this mean? The three people rushed into the hotel... definitely still in one room, right? If they're in one room... what will happen then?

  Liu Bihua looked at the red-faced Zhou Huijie and Li Shanshan, and sighed: "Two young ladies, I think you should adjust your thinking a bit? I mean going to the hotel... but it wasn't said that we would stay in the same room! Besides, even if we did stay in the same room... what do you want to do? What can you do?" Liu Bihua finished speaking and snickered. Zhou Huijie and Li Shanshan were so embarrassed they couldn't lift their heads.

  Zhou Huijie scolded: "Hua, you're too bad! You clearly know we'll definitely be with you... yet you still intentionally make this kind of joke!"

  Liu Bihua got up and hugged the two girls, saying seriously: "Alright, no more joking around. We need to get a good rest tonight. Let's go, let's head back to the hotel."

  Liu Bihua knew that Li Shanshan's family had many hotels at home, so there was no need to worry about which hotel to stay in.

  A shrill phone ring woke up Liu Bihua, Zhou Huijie and Li Shanshan.

  Zhou Huijie picked up the phone and heard her financial expert say anxiously: "Miss, it's bad... The US stock market has plummeted!"

  "Ah......" Zhou Huijie was shocked and held the phone back to look at Liu Bihua.

  Liu Bihua rubbed his eyes and lifted his head... saying: "Black Monday... has still come!"
