Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Kunji didn't sleep all night, clutching a pile of money, his eyes gleaming with a sly look, as if no one was a good person.

Even excluding the odd amounts, this trip brought in a total of 20 Hong Kong dollars! At the current exchange rate, that's at least 60.

According to An Xiaohai's method of distribution, each of the three of them would receive 20 yuan, which is a huge sum of money.

"Boss, my mom said I have very poor self-control. I'll get carried away once I have money, so I can't be too rich. And I absolutely can't get involved in gambling, prostitution, or drugs."

I'm so worried I won't be able to control myself. I need someone to keep an eye on me. Boss, can you keep an eye on me?

Kunji looked at An Xiaohai with a pleading expression and asked.

"Of course you can. You're my little brother, and I'm your boss. If I don't take care of you, who will?"

"Hehe, thanks, boss! I'll leave my money to you for safekeeping!"

"Okay, but from now on you have to ask me before you can use any money. You're not allowed to use a single penny without my permission, or I'll break your legs."

"Okay, thanks, boss!"

"Kunji, this money can't be made public right now. Do you have any way to exchange a small portion of it? I need it to pay off my debts."

"Of course, no problem, but we'll suffer a slight loss in terms of exchange rate."

"It doesn't matter, go ahead and exchange them. Exchange as many as you need, but don't exchange too many. As for the rest, find a safe place to hide them, so that no one can find them, but don't hide them too far away, so that you won't have trouble when you need them in the future."

"Go ahead... or why don't you rest for a day before going? There's still time. I noticed you didn't sleep well last night."

"Boss, it's not that I didn't sleep well, it's that I didn't sleep at all! But it's okay, I'm very excited and awake right now, I'm coming right now."

Kunji left quickly.

An Xiaohai had no intention of caring where Kunji would exchange the money or where he would hide the rest. A thief who couldn't even hide his money properly was no good.

As for dealing with Big Back Hair's gang, An Xiaohai never intended to do it himself; he would simply leave it to Kunji to handle.

An Xiaohai took a nap, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he heard Pan Zhuangzhuang and Chen Shuifen chatting. An Xiaohai couldn't help but smile.

As the saying goes, brothers are like hands and feet. An Xiaohai and Pan Zhuangzhuang are truly as close as hands and feet. From childhood to adulthood, they have always done things together, whether good or bad.

Pan Zhuangzhuang is the type who appears honest on the surface but is actually cunning and wicked; An Xiaohai is the type who appears sunny on the surface but is also cunning and wicked at heart.

The two are evenly matched, like snakes and rats in the same nest.

Pan Zhuangzhuang did not participate in this operation at the port, which was the first time An Xiaohai had not taken him along when he was up to something bad.

It's too dangerous, especially with Xu Tianyou involved, so forget it. If Xu Tianyou isn't there, then it can only be Pan Zhuangzhuang.

An Xiaohai only notified Pan Zhuangzhuang this morning when Kunji went out, and now, before noon, Pan Zhuangzhuang has already rushed back.

"Hai, they harmed you just for your house, just to smuggle drugs?"

After lunch, Pan Zhuangzhuang took An Xiaohai to the beach. The two casually touched the crabs, but their attention was entirely on An Xiaohai's old home.

Now it's completely different.

Not long after the fire, the site was bought by an international environmental organization, and after more than a year of construction, it has now been transformed into a huge marine environmental observation station.

"Yes, it's for smuggling drugs," An Xiaohai nodded. "Zhuang, did you hear the roar of those machines?"

"Of course I heard it. The sound wasn't loud, but it was annoying. It would go on every now and then. What was that?"

"Horizontal directional drill, abbreviated as Hdd."

"Hdd? What's it used for?"

"To open a tunnel on the seabed," An Xiaohai straightened up and looked into the distance.

Across the strait is Honggang, and on the other side is a huge scrap metal recycling station, which is right across from An Xiaohai's former home.

"Hai, you mean they're going to use that Hdd thing to dig a tunnel under the sea to get there? That's highly unlikely!"

"It's not a tunnel, it's a passageway, a temporary passageway. They open up the temporary passageway when they need it, and then leave it there after they've received the goods."

This temporary passage will soon disappear into the sea without a trace.

So, every now and then, we could hear the roar of the machine; that was them starting up the HDD.

"So that's how it is, that's terrifying! No wonder I've been getting so many real estate agents coming to me lately, they're worried we're in the way here."

By the way, can this HDD shoot that far?

"Yes!" An Xiaohai nodded: "I've checked the information. This Hdd is the latest technology developed in Country D, specifically designed to lay underground pipelines without damaging the road surface."

The maximum distance to be cleared is 1000 to 1200 meters, depending on geological conditions.

This machine is very valuable.

First, a hole is drilled, then it is enlarged, and then the reamer and drill bit are retrieved. The drugs come along with the reamer and drill bit.

I think we might not even need to open a real tunnel; as long as the drill can get through, that's enough.

Of all the houses in the village, mine is the closest to them, 1100 meters according to the map, which is just enough for them.

"Oh, I see. So they can buy your house then. Why would they want to harm you?"

"Because my mom wouldn't sell it, and neither would Xuan'er's mom. My mom had actually told me about this before, but I didn't pay any attention to it at the time."

"I understand. They're afraid of arousing suspicion, so they don't dare to directly pressure you. But if you kill or injure someone, you'll definitely have to pay compensation. If your family can't afford it, you'll have to sell the house."

"Yes, that way they could get the land quietly and legitimately. Later, when they learned about my conflict with Xu Tianyou, they burned down the house in Xu Tianyou's name."

In that case, Zhou Weiguang, the new owner of the house, won't have any other ideas and will only be able to sell it cheaply, haha!

"That's terrible! Damn it!" Pan Zhuangzhuang slammed the net in his hand onto the seawater.

"Zhuang, this is the kind of people we're dealing with. How about it, are you scared?"

"I'm scared, of course I'm scared, scared to death! Hai, you're my brother!"

"hey-hey!"

An Xiaohai chuckled and poked Pan Zhuangzhuang with the net. Pan Zhuangzhuang immediately retaliated, and the two of them splashed water everywhere.

Meanwhile, Wang Tiejun's office

Zhou Meng turned the doorknob and walked in without knocking. He found a chair and sat down, scratching his head and smoking without saying a word.

"Hey, Captain Zhou, what are you up to now?"

"Pah!" Zhou Meng spat into the trash can beside him. "Tie Jun, there's something I need your help with."

"What's wrong? Has the sun risen in the west? You, Captain Zhou, are actually coming to me for help? Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Oh, is this what happened..." Zhou Meng scratched his head and hesitated for a while before continuing, "Something happened yesterday in our neighboring Second Detachment."

"Hmm, what happened?" Wang Tiejun suppressed a laugh. Judging from Zhou Meng's expression, it definitely wasn't something that happened to the Second Detachment. It was probably something that happened to them.

This is similar to what happened to my friend.

"Three bastards impersonated us last night and extorted money from every single container truck driver queuing to cross the border! Now we... oh no, now the Second Detachment has received forty or fifty complaints; they're practically being riddled with bullets!"

"No way? Someone's so audacious, they're really courting death!" Wang Tiejun was genuinely startled.

"Who says otherwise? It's utterly lawless!"

"I have to say, those three little brats actually acted quite convincingly. They even had a dog with them, and despite its gloomy face, it could actually salute! Isn't that outrageous?!"

"Hehehe..."

Wang Tiejun couldn't help but laugh: "That's outrageous! This is a complete disaster, hahaha..."

"What are you laughing at? Old Chen from the Second Detachment is so upset he can't even cry anymore!" Zhou Meng rolled his eyes.

"Hahaha!……"

Wang Tiejun just wouldn't stop: "You came to me because you want me to find those three bastards, right? You shouldn't have come to me for this; you should have gone to Cao Yingying. She's the one who's good at this, hahaha..."

"No, no, we can't go to Cao Yingying. She absolutely can't find out about this... What are you laughing at? Do you even know what that guy walking the dog's name is?"

"Haha, so after all that, you even asked for their name? Haha..."

"Of course! A dog that salutes! I've never seen anything like it in my life. I have to ask who trained it! And you're still laughing! Let me tell you, the guy walking the dog said his name is Zhang Tiejun!"

Puchi~

"What did you say?!" Wang Tiejun spat out a mouthful of tea.
