Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"Tianyou, do you have a shotgun? You mean one of those shotguns that security guards and transport workers use?"

"I have two of those things, but they can't fire in bursts, so they're not very satisfying to use and they're not easy to carry. I sawed off the barrels of them to make them a little more usable."

"Two are not enough, and they can't be modified."

How much do you want?

"I think we need at least forty or fifty, and that might not be enough. To be on the safe side, it would be best to have more."

"Understood. Give me some time, and I'll be ready."

"Okay, hurry up. If you really can't get that many, you can use models."

"Don't worry about any of that. Leave this to me. Is there anything else I need to prepare?"

"Also, do you remember the uniforms those security guards from the transport company were wearing that day?"

"I do remember, but I didn't pay much attention to their clothes at the time; I only have a vague impression."

"You want to get a set of clothes to disguise yourself as them? I think it's a bit difficult to get clothes exactly like theirs in such a short time."

"It doesn't have to be exactly the same, it's better to be similar but not identical... How should I put it, the feeling they get is: this is indeed one of our people, but not from a different department; the clothes are similar, but not entirely the same..."

Oh right, the key is to come up with a logo similar to theirs. Their logo is a tiger's head, right? Make it more refined and bigger, so it gives the impression of being their superior department.

Most importantly, the entire outfit should look high-end.

"I roughly understand what you mean. This isn't a big problem; leave it to me. Is there anything else?"

"Also, can you find someone who makes fake license plates? How long does it typically take to make a fake license plate?"

"Half a day is enough. If you hold a gun to the man's head and make him do it, he could probably finish in two hours."

How high is the simulation level?

"It's so realistic that it's indistinguishable from the real thing; at least to the naked eye, you can't tell the difference."

"Okay, find this person. We might need to make a few fake license plates... Also, do you have any luxury cars?"

"What kind of luxury car? For example..."

"For example, Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, or even Rolls-Royce, etc. I can't be sure about those right now."

"This... is possible, leave it to me. Xu Zhijie has quite a few luxury cars, he should have all the ones you mentioned. Once you've decided on the specific models, let me know as soon as possible."

If all else fails, I'll go to the dealership, ask for a customer list, and then pick up the car from one of their customers.

"...Okay, I'll tell you the specific model as soon as possible."

"Anything else?"

"No more for now."

"You're implying you're planning to pull off a cover-up? That's exciting!"

"Don't worry, you'll see how exciting it is when the time comes. By the way, what kind of weapons does the Big Circle Gang usually use?"

"AK, Uzi."

"Prepare a batch of both types of guns as well, make sure you have enough bullets, and it would be best to get a few hand grenades as well."

"Ha, that's more like it! Don't worry, all of this is readily available. Where are the men? Besides the Savage and Red Cannon, how many more men do I need to bring this time?"

"How many people should we bring...? Let's keep it under 20, okay?"

"Of course, no problem. But if you want 200, that'll be a bit of a problem. I'm afraid I can't afford the plane tickets! Haha!"

From what you're saying, it seems this isn't just a simple robbery of a vault. Could you tell me what you're really planning?

"No, I have to keep you in suspense for now. You'll find out when you get here."

"Alright, playing with you is always pretty exciting. Is there anything else?"

"That's all."

"Really gone?"

That's all for now.

"Alright, you can continue daydreaming, I'll go get ready."

"How did you know I was going to keep spacing out... Hey, feed me..." Xu Tianyou had already hung up the phone.

"This guy!"

An Xiaohai put down the phone and looked back at the map. More and more messages were coming back from all sides, and a preliminary plan was slowly taking shape in An Xiaohai's mind.

"Now we just have to wait for Kunji and the others to return. If they can bring back the information I need, this plan can be fully realized..."

Meanwhile, the Deep Sea Royal Water Club

"Mr. Xu, you have some tea here, including ripe Pu'er and Longjing. Which one would you like us to bring over?" a scantily clad waitress asked Xu Congzhou, her voice sickeningly sweet.

The girls at the Deep Sea Royal Water Club all adore Master Xu. This respected Master Xu is not only always kind to them and generous, but he also rarely takes advantage of them.

The only downside is that he doesn't like staying in private rooms; he prefers to sit in the lobby making tea. The girls dressed like that serve him here have to endure a lot of lecherous stares, which is a bit awkward.

But perhaps Master Xu simply enjoys this feeling.

"Of course we can't drink Longjing tea so late at night. Bring over some ripe Pu'er tea. You need to improve your professional skills, young lady. You don't even know this?"

"Master Xu, I'm still young, how would I know how to drink tea? But I'm quite skilled at playing with ice and fire, would you like to give me a try, Master Xu?"

"Forget it, my life is more important! I'm too old to do these kinds of fancy tricks."

"Mr. Xu, look at what you're saying! In our eyes, you're full of energy, in your prime, mature enough, and know how to take care of people. Many of us sisters like you just the way you are!"

"Okay, I like to hear that!" Xu Congzhou waved his hand, and the henchman standing behind him immediately stuffed two bills into the waiter's hand. The waiter took the money and clutched it tightly in his palm.

I just gave him a few compliments and he got HK$40. Mr. Xu is so generous. I can't even imagine what would have happened if I had used any other services!

"Thank you, Mr. Xu!" the waiter's voice became even sweeter.

"Alright, alright, stop trying to seduce me. Go and get me the tea."

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

The waiter jogged over and soon brought the tea and tea set. While setting out the tea set, she bent very low, revealing her fair skin and cleavage. She would also occasionally rub her body against Xu Congzhou.

Xu Congzhou was already used to it. When the waiter set out the tea set, he took the opportunity to give her a light pat on her shapely buttocks.

After seeing off the reluctant waiter, Xu Congzhou brewed tea himself while carefully observing his surroundings.

In the afternoon, he received a report that the notorious thief Bai Maoyan had appeared in the vicinity, and might be here to cause trouble. Xu Congzhou was worried and had no choice but to come and investigate in person.

"This is a bit annoying... Why did the white swallow appear at this crucial moment? If it ruins An Xiaohai's plan, the loss will be huge."

However, when Xu Congzhou saw the nonchalant Kun Ji wearing a bathrobe and haggling with a massage girl, Xu Congzhou immediately felt relieved.

"So, it turns out this White-haired Swallow is also one of An Xiaohai's men. Impressive, he's managed to recruit such a legendary figure in the martial arts world... How did this kid do it?"

Xu Congzhou took a sip of tea and let out a satisfied sigh.

Just then, the staff at the water club suddenly became chaotic. Groups of security guards in white shirts rushed in, nervously scanning the guests in the lobby.

Although the guests in the lobby were somewhat confused, they didn't dare to breathe loudly because of the fierce looks of the staff.

"What's going on? What's going on?!" Xu Congzhou slammed his hand on the table and shouted in a low voice at a minister who looked somewhat familiar standing nearby.

"Mr. Xu, I'm so sorry, so sorry!" The minister was covered in cold sweat. "We've run into a little trouble here. Mr. Luo's office was just burglarized. We had no choice but to come and check it out."

"Ghost Qiang's office was burgled? Who was so bold?"

"I don't know, we just discovered it ourselves."

"Tch~ Then you guys are in for a world of trouble!"

"A bunch of useless idiots! What's the point of staring at this place? All the guests here are naked. What the hell are you going to do, steal things from them? Where would you hide them? Do you even have a brain?!" Xu Congzhou said, pointing his finger at the minister's nose.

"Yes, yes, Master Xu is right! There's really no way to hide anything here. We'll just do a quick check and leave immediately. Please don't be angry, Master Xu!"

"Why should I get angry with you? You should be thinking about how to explain this to the foreigners! You lost your stuff and instead of blocking the front door, you're just standing here. If I were the thief, I would have run far away by now!"

"Master Xu is right, Master Xu is right!"

The minister nodded repeatedly. At that moment, a security guard ran over and shook his head at the minister.

"Mr. Xu, that's enough. We've checked this place, and the thief isn't here. We'll leave right away. Sorry to bother you, Mr. Xu!"

The minister waved his hand, and the security guards in white shirts left in groups, allowing the guests in the hall to breathe a sigh of relief.

Xu Congzhou glanced at Kunji out of the corner of his eye. This guy wasn't flustered at all, and seemed to have already negotiated the price with the massage girl. He put his arm around her waist and headed towards the massage area.

"Damn... this kid knows how to enjoy himself!"

Xu Congzhou secretly rolled his eyes. Kunji had good taste; the girl they picked was quite pretty, and judging from her walking posture, she wouldn't have been in the business for very long.

"Being young is great!"

Xu Congzhou stretched and went to take a shower.
