Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"So you are the famous Captain Zhou, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Jiang Ting put on a professional smile and stepped forward to extend her right hand to Zhou Meng.

"Nice to meet you! Miss Jiang is very beautiful, truly stunning!" Zhou Meng smiled and extended his hand to shake hands with Jiang Ting.

To be honest, Zhou Meng was quite gentlemanly, which left An Xiaohai behind him completely stunned. An Xiaohai had never seen Zhou Meng like this before.

"Captain Zhou, you flatter me. It's a pity I didn't know you would be here today, so I didn't have time to come. Otherwise, I would definitely have a detailed chat with you and learn from you. Such a golden opportunity, and I've missed it!"

Jiang Ting waved her hand, and the man in the suit who was following behind her like a bodyguard immediately handed over her bag. Jiang Ting took out a business card from the bag and handed it to Zhou Meng with both hands.

"Team Leader Zhou, I have some urgent matters to attend to today and cannot accompany you. This is my business card; I hope you can contact me when you have time!"

Jiang Ting said with a smile, her smile blooming as if radiating a soft and charming light, making the world around her seem a little brighter.

Li Yanghong bent down even lower, and Zhou Meng also took a light breath before accepting the business card.

"Won't Captain Zhou give me a business card?"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Jiang, I'm here to see an old friend today and I didn't bring any business cards. Old Li has my contact information."

"Okay, I understand. Li Yanghong, remember to write down Captain Zhou's phone number for me."

"Team Leader Zhou, I'll take my leave now. We'll keep in touch by phone. Li Yanghong, please take good care of Team Leader Zhou for me. Goodbye."

Jiang Ting smiled at Zhou Meng again and left with her entourage.

Li Yanghong breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt very uncomfortable. Jiang Ting's attitude towards him and Zhou Meng was obviously worlds apart.

I thought I had won the competition, but in the end I still suffered a crushing defeat.

After Jiang Ting left, the atmosphere changed completely. Zhou Meng looked around again and then said goodbye. Li Yanghong tried to persuade him to stay for a moment, but then fell silent.

The three did not return the way they came. Li Yanghong led them on a shortcut, passing through the gaps in the garden hedges between several villas, and returned directly to the small square at the entrance of the community.

Zhou Meng exchanged a few more pleasantries with Li Yanghong before leaving with An Xiaohai.

"Brother, didn't you tell us to provoke Zhou Meng's guards and teach them a lesson? Why are you yelling at us again?"

After An Xiaohai and the others left, the guy surnamed Wen came over and asked Li Yanghong a question.

"Don't mention this, you're no match for him," Li Yanghong said softly, still gazing in the direction Zhou Meng had left.

"How could that be? That guard looked so frail, like he could be blown away by a gust of wind. How strong could he be?"

Li Yanghong turned around and glanced at the guy surnamed Wen: "I said you're no match for him, so you're no match for him. Believe it or not! You guys learned martial arts from me, but he learned how to kill. It's different."

Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. It's normal that you don't understand...

Sigh, it still can't compare to the sweet taste of working for the government...

"Do you know that Jiang Ting? I saw you hide behind me as soon as she appeared. Kid, why aren't you saying anything?"

"The jeep has already reached the foot of the mountain," Zhou Meng said, glancing at An Xiaohai who was frowning and silent.

An Xiaohai recognized Jiang Ting immediately. She was the woman in the photo Kunji had taken. Although only half of her face was visible in the photo, Jiang Ting's face and the jawline of the woman in the photo matched perfectly!

The woman in the photo is Jiang Ting. She is indeed very beautiful. Even just half of her face is stunning, but seeing her full face is even more breathtaking.

Jiang Ting's face perfectly matches a man's ideal of beauty.

An Xiaohai not only recognized Jiang Ting, but also the bodyguard next to her.

That person was the one who slit Guo Xiangshui's throat on the street that day—the Caos killer. He was the one An Xiaohai was truly hiding from.

Although the streets were crowded and the scene was chaotic that day, he was a professional assassin, and who knows if he even noticed me at the time.

Fortunately, the military uniform that Zhou Meng prepared for An Xiaohai was a little too big, which actually made his body shape appear slightly different.

An Xiaohai deliberately kept his hat brim low from the beginning and avoided the other party's gaze immediately, so it would be quite difficult for the other party to recognize him.

However, nothing in this world is absolute, and now An Xiaohai no longer dares to underestimate anyone.

This operation was a bit reckless. Who knew that just by coming to scout the location, we would run into the main target?

"Hey kid, why aren't you saying anything? Is that woman dangerous?" Zhou Meng sensed An Xiaohai's tension and unease, and asked in a low voice with a frown.

"It's very dangerous, extremely dangerous! Especially the bodyguard with her. But Captain Zhou, I can't tell you these things. If you want to know the details, you can ask 073."

"I understand..." Zhou Meng glanced at An Xiaohai and nodded slightly. At that moment, Zhou Meng's feelings were extremely complicated.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. We've already toured the Royal Dragon Seaview Villa area. What are your thoughts?"

"Well... Captain Zhou, let's go back and talk about it again. I need to think about it carefully now."

"Okay, think it over carefully. You park the car on the side of the road, and I'll drive it."

"This isn't really appropriate..." An Xiaohai was a little flattered that Zhou Meng had offered to be his driver!

"What's wrong with that? You're daydreaming here, what if you get into a traffic accident? Your aunt is waiting for me to come home for dinner! By the way, when did you get your driver's license?"

"I don't have a driver's license."

"I fucking...stop the car! Stop the car right now!"

Zhou Meng nearly exploded on the spot. He ordered An Xiaohai to pull over to the side of the road, put his hands on his hips, forced An Xiaohai into the passenger seat, and then angrily climbed into the car and drove away.

Jiang Ting was sitting in the extended Bentley, swirling a wine glass in her hand, her eyebrows furrowed.

"Miss, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with Captain Zhou?" A bodyguard-like man was sitting opposite Jiang Ting, holding a can of cola. He and Jiang Ting were clearly on equal footing.

"There's nothing wrong with him, at least I can't see anything wrong with him, but the bodyguard next to him is a bit strange..."

"What's strange?... Hmm, now that you mention it, it is indeed a bit strange. I felt like he... seemed to be deliberately avoiding me back then..."

"What, do you have that feeling? I was blocked by Zhou Meng at the time and couldn't observe him carefully. I caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of my eye for a moment, and I felt a sense of déjà vu."

"I don't know, I can't explain it clearly. At the time, most of my attention was on Zhou Meng, and I didn't pay much attention to the guard behind him."

However, my intuition tells me that his bodyguard is a master, and Zhou Meng himself is also a master.

"Zhou Meng is a master, that's for sure. When I was investigating Li Yanghong, I also investigated Zhou Meng. He has won the Armed Police Force Fighting Competition several times."

It's not surprising that his bodyguard is highly skilled; otherwise, he wouldn't be qualified to be his bodyguard...

Let's not talk about this anymore!

Jiang Ting gently shook her head: "The timing isn't quite right now. Otherwise, we could try to get closer to Zhou Meng, but this guy is a bit difficult to deal with..."

"You're too modest, Miss. I believe there's no man in the world that you can't handle."

"Heh!" Jiang Ting scoffed. "That's because you haven't seen enough men. I've had plenty of men I couldn't handle. At least, the man I most wanted to get treated me like trash!"

After Jiang Ting finished speaking, she raised her wine glass, drank the red wine in it in one gulp, and then slammed the glass hard onto the armrest.
