Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"Xiao Hai, you're not really planning to do that, are you? It's too risky; one wrong move and you'll get yourself into trouble!"

After a brief period of excitement, Ah Huo quickly calmed down.

"Hehe, that's really what I'm planning. Otherwise, why would we go through all that trouble and take such a big risk to get these goods up here?"

Now that we've retrieved it, we should make the most of it!

"What are you planning to do?"

"I haven't decided yet. I need some time to think it over carefully. We need to find the right time."

"Yes, this matter requires utmost care. Once you've thought it through, be sure to tell me what you're going to do, and I'll give you some advice."

"Of course, after all, you know them better."

"Haha! Okay, enough of that, how about we sing a song?"

"sure."

"Sing a song with me, I can't stand you and your wife anymore, what song should we sing?"

"It must be boundless and limitless!"

"You can sing that song, but I just don't believe it!"

"How will you know if you don't try? Are you coming or not? Scared?"

"Come on, of course I'll come! Who's afraid of who?!"

An Xiaohai and Ah Huo had chosen their songs when Kun Ji arrived and joined them. The three of them started singing "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" together, singing with a cacophony of howls and screams.

Evidence Room

"No, this No. 2 shipment is freshly made, and it looks too much like the batch that Mengzi and his team seized tonight!"

This couldn't have been left there by the previous tenant. This woman is a big problem; we absolutely cannot let her go, and we definitely cannot let her make any phone calls. You interrogate her thoroughly. If Old Zhou tries to smooth things over, you must hold him off!

"I will."

"By the way, Yingying, how did you catch this woman?"

"I received a tip and went directly to the Four Seas Hotel to arrest the people."

"Who gave you the tip?"

"I don't know!" Cao Yingying shook her head. "The message was sent directly to my pager. I was worried that your people couldn't find you, so they contacted me. I took my people over there, and I didn't expect that they would actually find something and catch the person."

"So..." Wang Tiejun frowned. "Where's the message? Let me see it."

Cao Yingying immediately gave her pager to Wang Tiejun. After reading the message, Wang Tiejun frowned even more.

"What's wrong, Tie Jun?"

"Nothing much, I just think this is too suspicious."

"What's wrong? Isn't he one of yours?"

"We can't be sure yet, let's not talk about that for now. Has anyone handled this package?"

"This package was found by Xiao Liu. He handed it over to me immediately after finding it. I was busy interrogating Chen Huizhu after I got back, and I only recently found an opportunity to put it into storage. Then you came back."

"Old Qin, has anyone else touched this package?" Wang Tiejun asked Old Qin in the evidence room.

"No, I'm the only one who made contact. The registration wasn't even finished when the two of you arrived."

"Okay, Lao Qin, please keep an eye out for me. If anyone comes looking for this, tell me who they are, understand?"

"Understood!" Old Qin nodded. He was a veteran of the Public Security Bureau and naturally understood what Wang Tiejun meant.

"Tiejun, what do you mean...?" Cao Yingying also sensed the implied meaning.

"Shh!" Wang Tiejun gestured for Cao Yingying to be quiet, then turned and walked out.

"Tiejun, what are you rushing off to do?"

"I'll go to Mengzi's place again to make a comparison. If this thing is from the same batch that Mengzi and his men seized today, then this woman is very likely a mule from Haiyaozi. I have to go and confirm it."

Yingying, investigate carefully here, get to the bottom of this. You must find out everything about this woman. Don't let anyone else take over, and it's best not to let anyone else come into contact with her.

...Also, keep an eye on Xiao Liu, understand?

"Is this really necessary?"

"Of course it's necessary. In short, you must be vigilant and hold on until I get back," Wang Tiejun said, then tried to leave again, but Cao Yingying stopped him.

"Tiejun, you definitely haven't had dinner yet, have you?"

"Oh yeah, I haven't eaten yet. I completely forgot about it."

"Come to my place and have a bowl of instant noodles. It'll be quick anyway, who knows how long it'll take today."

"Alright, a little while won't make a difference, let's go!"

Wang Tiejun followed Cao Yingying to her office. Cao Yingying prepared instant noodles for Wang Tiejun and brought them over. Just as the two were waiting for the noodles to be ready, Wang Tiejun's phone rang.

Wang Tiejun picked up the phone and saw that it was An Xiaohai calling.

"I was just looking for you! What's going on over there? Tell me... Could you find somewhere else? It's too noisy there!"

"I don't like to change locations."

"Captain Wang, did you arrest a woman at the Four Seas Hotel today? And did you find a No. 2 notebook?"

"How did you know? Did you send that message?"

"Yes, I sent that message, and I also had Kunji put the goods in her room."

"An...Are you crazy?! Why are you doing this?!" Wang Tiejun shouted, standing up agitatedly. Cao Yingying, who was standing next to him, was dumbfounded. In her memory, Wang Tiejun had never been so furious.

"Captain Wang, don't worry, listen to me."

To outsiders, this was just a case of Captain Cao of the Criminal Investigation Department receiving a tip and arresting a drug dealer who was about to make a deal. This wouldn't have been anything special. But coincidentally, the drug dealer was going to trade a Sea Hawk brand drug.

What's more, the sea hawks were ambushed by the armed police today, and they lost a large amount of cargo, which makes it hard for them not to make connections.

So keep a close eye on that package. If any of your men try to touch it, that person is very likely a spy for the Sea Hawks.

If no one tries to contact that package during this period, it's okay, no rush. After a while, they'll definitely get restless.

In short, by keeping a close eye on this package and that woman, and preventing anyone from contacting her, we might be able to uncover the traitor within the police force.

"Are you crazy?! Do you know you're playing with fire?! Are you insane?!"

"Captain Wang, I'm not crazy. I know I'm playing with fire, but what can I do if I don't? Just wait to be played with by the sea hawks? I have nothing but my life, so I have to risk my life and play with fire."

Captain Wang, the first thing we need to do if we want to completely wipe out the Sea Hawks is to dig out the spies they've planted within the police force.

As long as this person, or rather these people, are not eliminated, the Sea Hawks will not be eradicated. As long as the Sea Hawks are not eradicated, you will not be able to resolve your inner conflict, and I will not be able to act freely.

Our Shenhai City, and even the entire Haidong Province, cannot have a single day of true peace!

This is a golden opportunity.

The sea hawks suffered such a huge loss today, with three people dying and so much cargo lost.

Imagine what they would do if they found out that the goods they lost today had suddenly appeared on the Honggang market.

If they have spies planted within the police force, they will definitely connect this woman with the shipment that appeared in Hong Kong; this is the only clue they can find.

When the time comes, they will definitely be unable to resist trying to figure out the entanglement involved, because it will be just as crucial for them.

Sea Hawk will be restless and unable to eat or sleep until he figures this out!

Therefore, the traitor among your people will definitely get restless. He will definitely try to find out if the goods this woman is carrying are the same batch they lost tonight.

They will reveal their weakness as soon as they make a move.

"Captain Wang, you must seize this golden opportunity."

An Xiaohai stopped there, and Wang Tiejun's chest heaved violently. It took him a long time to finally force himself to calm down.

"Yes, you're absolutely right, what a coincidence! What happened today is just too much of a coincidence!"

The armed police were the ones who took action over the mangrove forest, the criminal investigation team was the ones who took action over the Four Continents Hotel, and I was the one who led all the anti-drug personnel to fight the fugitives at the dock!

So, on the surface, the trouble that the Sea Hawks suffered had nothing to do with me! Neither I nor my people were able to make contact with these two groups of people and those drugs in the first place!

All of this seems so natural. If there were a spy among my people, he would never have guessed it was a trap!

You! Don't tell me you planned all of this beforehand!

Wang Tiejun said through gritted teeth, his eyes practically spitting fire.

"How could that be? How could I have planned this in advance? It's impossible. I was just lucky to have stumbled upon such an opportunity and took advantage of it."

"Okay, I'll assume for now that you just happened to take advantage of this opportunity."

I can accept all of this, but the one thing I can't accept is why you dragged an innocent woman into this?

Do you know that if even the slightest mistake goes wrong, this woman will be killed by you?

"Captain Wang, are you sure she's just an innocent woman?"

"Isn't that right?" Wang Tiejun frowned deeply.

"Perhaps yes, perhaps no. Perhaps this woman came to Deepsea City to harm me? If that's the case, is she still an innocent woman?"

"You mean...no way?!"

"Yes, Captain Wang, why don't you make a bold assumption? If this woman is Zhou Tie's biological mother, is she truly innocent?"

"You!..." Wang Tiejun clutched his chest in anger, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood: "You! You...you're walking a tightrope on a knife's edge!"

It's fine if you don't involve this woman, but once you do, and her identity is exposed, people will immediately connect it to you!

Are you gambling with your life? Gambling with the lives of your entire family?!

"Captain Wang, do you think we ordinary people have anything to offer besides our lives?"

"You!..." Wang Tiejun was speechless once again.

"Captain Wang, you are a police officer, a glorious people's police officer, and the most steadfast protector of the people."

You can't just stand by and watch my whole family's lives, and the life of that woman you think is innocent, be taken by drug lords.

So let's take action, do as I say, so that all of this can end sooner!

An Xiaohai hung up the phone after saying that.

"You!..." Wang Tiejun was so angry that he raised the phone to throw it to the ground, but fortunately Cao Yingying grabbed him from the side.

"Iron Army! What on earth is going on?!"

"What's wrong?... " Looking at Cao Yingying's concerned face, a thousand thoughts flashed through Wang Tiejun's mind in an instant!

"Ouch!" Wang Tiejun roared, kicking the chair next to him to the ground.

Hearing the commotion inside, Zhou Zhengguo, who was eavesdropping at the door, instinctively stepped back.

"Oh dear... they've been pushed to the limit..."

You little brat, you've finally met your match!

Ugh!

Tie Jun, Tie Jun, do you know? As long as you can't break down the barriers in your heart, you can never become the ultimate victor. When will you ever understand this?

Well, bad guys will get their comeuppance, that's a good thing!

I was admiring the mountain view from the city tower when I heard a commotion outside the city...

Zhou Zhengguo hummed a little tune, sipped his tea, and tiptoed away, not wanting to disturb the furious Wang Tiejun.
