Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

The master of Kunji left with Kunji without waiting for a moment.

The plan appears to have moved forward another step.

An Xiaohai sat in the cave, looking at the pitch-black sea, and sorted through all the clues again, even taking into account the possibility that Kunji's master was just pretending to surrender, and readjusted the details of the plan.

When An Xiaohai came to his senses, it was already broad daylight.

An Xiaohai smiled bitterly and struggled to get up from the ground. He was once again so hungry that his stomach was sticking to his back.

"Eating is such a big problem..." An Xiaohai sighed, looking up at the sky. With Pan Zhuangzhuang gone, even eating has become a problem; he really misses him.

Now all we can do is wait.

The next day, An Xiaohai received a call from Yan Hong. They had found the Chen brothers' cars, but there were only three of them, which were hidden in a warehouse in an industrial park in Longling District.

An Xiaohai thought this number was far from enough, so Yan Hong and Xiao Luo could only continue to keep an eye on the people on the note.

In the afternoon, He Xiaohu returned with Pan Zhuangzhuang, bringing with him some news that surprised An Xiaohai.

"Xiao Hai, we've verified it. The information you sent yesterday is accurate. This Huyue Security Escort Company in Fuhai District is the same company as them."

However, there was one unexpected element.

"What accident?" An Xiaohai's brows furrowed immediately.

"Xiao Hai, don't worry. The accident I mentioned has nothing to do with this operation. It's just that this person's identity is highly suspicious and needs to be discussed."

He Xiaohu took out the photo of the security company manager again and placed it on the small table.

"This person is ostensibly the actual controller of these security escort companies, but according to what we found out yesterday, he may not be as simple as he appears."

He should call you soon to tell you the specifics.

He Xiaohu was always very careful with his words and never mentioned 073.

An Xiaohai nodded to indicate that he understood. This news did not surprise him particularly. As the person in charge of the Zhupolong Artery, it was normal for him to be no ordinary person.

After handing over the collected information and compiled data to An Xiaohai, He Xiaohu and Pan Zhuangzhuang went to sleep in the cave. They both fell asleep very quickly, as they were indeed exhausted from the past few days.

An Xiaohai tiptoed out of the cave and stood by the sea, exhaling a breath of stale air.

I don't know how much time passed, but then 073 called.

"Xiao Hai, the actual controller of the security company is Kang Jing, a returnee from overseas."

I had always thought he was either Zhu Polong or Jiang Ting's man, but after careful investigation, I discovered that his identity was not simple.

He is very likely one of the devil's men.

"People of the devil? Aren't Zhu Polong and Jiang Ting people of the devil?"

Yes and no.

Xiao Hai, I don't really know how to explain this to you. The organization that the demon belongs to is very large, and the internal relationships are very complicated.

Do you remember me telling you that there might be some minor problems within the organization the demon belongs to?

"Remember."

"Demon, Pig Dragon, and Jiang Ting, although they are from the same organization, or even the same group, their roles are different."

The members of the evil organization are driven by profit and constantly walk the line of danger; there is little trust among them.

"I understand. You mean that this Kang Jing might be planted by the devil among Zhu Polong to monitor Zhu Polong and Jiang Ting."

"This is very likely. Zhu Polong and Jiang Ting may not be entirely sure of his identity."

"I understand. I must be careful with this person, but perhaps I can also use him, right?"

"Clever, but you must be extremely careful; those who are devils are never simple."

"I know that, I'll be careful."

"That's all for now. I'll call you if there are any new developments."

"Okay, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, An Xiaohai stood by the sea for a while longer, glancing at the calendar on his watch; it was already November 21st.

There isn't much time left.

-------

"Hai, what are you thinking about?"

When Pan Zhuangzhuang woke up, he found An Xiaohai still sitting at the cave entrance, staring blankly at the sea. He Xiaohu was nowhere to be seen, and no one knew where he had gone.

"I'm thinking about that vault," An Xiaohai replied softly, without turning to look at Pan Zhuangzhuang, still deep in thought.

"A vault... I really want to see that thing. Is it the same as in the movies?"

"What movie?"

"007, Dark Light, Assassination Day, GoldenEye, I've seen them all! What, you haven't seen them? Impossible, I think you'd definitely like them."

"Heh, I've seen it," An Xiaohai said, still not turning around.

"Honestly, these days feel like a dream, like living in a movie, but... it seems very different from what I imagined, hehe!"

Hai, don't keep your head down here thinking all by yourself. Take a rest; you look much more haggard.

"No, time is too tight. I can't rest. If I rest, I might miss this excellent opportunity."

"So what if we missed it? There's plenty of time. There's no rush."

"No, I'm in a hurry! Life shouldn't be wasted on such meaningless things. The sooner it's resolved, the sooner I'll be free!"

Moreover, the longer this situation continues, the more uncontrollable it becomes, and the greater the chance of an accident. We must act quickly.

"What you said makes a lot of sense... I'm really useless, I can't help you at all."

"You've already helped me a lot."

"Hai, is that safe compartment difficult to breach? Why don't you ask 073, or ask the security department? They might have a solution."

In the movies, these vaults are incredibly difficult to enter; they're packed with high-tech gadgets.

"I'm not thinking about how to break through it."

"So what are you thinking about?"

"I'm wondering... why does it exist?"

"Why does it exist?... I don't quite understand what you mean."

"Hey Zhuang, put yourself in my shoes. If you were Pig Dragon, would you create a vault like this?"

"Of course I'll do it, otherwise where would I put all that money?"

"Don't answer so quickly, think about it carefully before you speak."

"Think about it carefully..." Pan Zhuangzhuang frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him: "Ah, that's not right!"

"I do sense something's wrong with the sea, but I just can't quite put my finger on it..."

"Then let me help you organize your thoughts," An Xiaohai said with a smile. "First, it's too eye-catching."

If I were a pig-woman dragon, without setting up this safe deposit box, I could just hide my money anywhere and it would be very difficult for others to find it.

However, now that I've set up such a large-scale vault, it's become a bigger target; everyone knows that the best stuff will be stored here.

As we discussed before, a person appears powerful because others cannot find him or approach him easily.

The same principle applies to wealth.

"Yes, yes, that's definitely true!" Pan Zhuangzhuang nodded repeatedly.

"Secondly, who exactly are we trying to protect against by creating this safe deposit box?"

Are we trying to protect ourselves from gangsters? I don't think that's necessary. I'm the top dog in the Shenzhen underworld. Who would dare touch my stuff? If it's about protecting ourselves from them, there's absolutely no need to make such a big fuss.

Trying to avoid the police? No, that's not right, you can't avoid them!

The police represent public authority; if the police want to take action against you, it doesn't make much difference whether you have this safe or not.

A large force will be brought in to surround the entire villa area, and then we can drive in slowly.

Therefore, you definitely can't prevent the police from doing anything.

This guy has turned the entire villa area into a fortress. What's he trying to do? A last-ditch effort? To wage a positional war against the police, special police, armed police, or even the army, fighting to the death?

"Oh yeah! Now that you mention it, it really is getting stranger and stranger!..." Pan Zhuangzhuang's eyes widened.

"So, this vault is really strange! And the entire Royal Dragon Seaview Villa District is really strange!"

Tell me, what are they trying to do? Why are they doing this? ..."
