Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"Xiao Hai, where are you now?" Xu Congzhou's voice showed no sign of fatigue.

"I'm in the city, near Shuitian Village. What's wrong?"

"There's something I'd like to ask you."

"Please speak."

"Did you send your underling, that Kun Ji guy, to the Deep Sea Royal Water Club to get the things I mentioned to you?"

"Yes."

"Did you get it? Was it smooth sailing?"

"I got it, everything went smoothly."

"Oh, that's good! This..."

"Please feel free to ask me anything."

"My question is, besides Kwan Kee, were there any other people involved in the attack?"

"Yes, and the master of Kun Kee."

"So... besides what I mentioned, did they bring back anything else?"

"some."

"What is it!?" Xu Congzhou asked, clearly tense on the other end of the phone.

"A USB drive, it looks like it contains a list."

"Where's the USB drive?!" Xu Congzhou's voice instantly rose two octaves.

"It should be on me..." An Xiaohai's lips curled up slightly as he pretended to pat his pocket. "Yes, it's on me. I have it with me."

"You mean you were carrying this USB drive around the city in the middle of the night?!" Xu Congzhou's voice rose two octaves again.

"Stop talking! Stay where you are and don't move! Don't go anywhere, I'm coming right now!" Xu Congzhou gave the order before An Xiaohai could reply and immediately hung up the phone.

An Xiaohai smiled slightly and turned to Hongpao:

"There's no other way, I'll have to wait a bit longer. A friend is coming to see me, I'm going downstairs to wait for him, you just wait for me upstairs, I'll call you when I'm done."

"Okay, Brother Hai," Hongpao returned to his seat, holding up the photo, and continued drooling over the Toyota Supra.

An Xiaohai took a deep breath and went downstairs. He walked to a Shaxian snack shop on the street, ordered a bowl of wontons and ate them.

Xu Congzhou never asked for his exact location, but Xiao Hai believed he would definitely find him.

Sure enough, as soon as the wontons were served, Xu Congzhou himself was already sitting opposite An Xiaohai.

A dozen black Mercedes-Benz cars were parked outside the small Shaxian snack shop, and dozens of burly men in black suits surrounded the shop, making it impossible for the owner to move. The owner was so scared that he hid in the back kitchen and didn't dare to come out.

"Where is the stuff?!" Xu Congzhou asked without wasting a single word, getting straight to the point.

An Xiaohai smiled slightly, took out a USB drive, and intended to place it on the table and push it over, but Xu Congzhou snatched it away. The murderous aura in Xu Congzhou's eyes when he grabbed the USB drive did indeed resemble that of a mafia boss.

Xu Congzhou carefully examined the USB drive in his hand, and after confirming that it was genuine, he handed it to a subordinate in a black suit behind him. The subordinate took the USB drive and jogged away, presumably to verify its authenticity.

"You just gave me this stuff like that?" Xu Congzhou was clearly relieved after receiving the USB drive.

"Or how about we discuss a price first?"

"Hahaha! Interesting!" Xu Congzhou laughed heartily. "You won't talk about the price, but I'd like to hear what kind of price I need to pay."

"No need," An Xiaohai said softly.

"No need? Did I hear that right? Really? Do you know how important this list is?"

"Of course I know, but it's really not necessary," An Xiaohai swallowed the wonton in his mouth, looked up at Xu Congzhou's eyes, and said, "Just consider it my duty as a Chinese citizen."

"Is that really what you think?"

"Otherwise what?"

"Does the white-feathered swallow think the same way?"

"Is Kwan Kee's master named White Swallow?"

"Of course it's a nickname. Kunji's master is one of the two great thieves in the martial arts world. The Southern Swallow in the story of the Northern Snake and the Southern Swallow refers to Kunji's master, the White-haired Swallow."

However, Bai Maoyan's surname really is Bai. He committed many serious crimes in the provinces of Haidong and Haixi. He was arrested once eight years ago and served several years in prison. I went to look for him, but he disappeared after his release.

"So that's how it is, no wonder it's so amazing!" An Xiaohai nodded gently and continued eating his wontons.

"You haven't answered my question yet. Does the white-haired swallow think the same way?"

"I think that's what he was thinking, otherwise he wouldn't have handed the USB drive to me so easily."

"Hahahaha..."

After a long pause, Xu Congzhou burst into laughter: "Interesting, absolutely interesting! I'm completely impressed!"

Just then, the person who had just jogged away jogged back and nodded slightly to Xu Congzhou.

"Alright, the goods have been confirmed. It's getting late, I'll head back now!" Xu Congzhou said as he stood up.

"Take care, Mr. Xu!"

"Okay!" Xu Congzhou nodded, turned and walked out, but stopped abruptly at the shop entrance and turned back: "An Xiaohai, you really aren't going to negotiate with me?"

"I won't talk about it!" An Xiaohai said after finishing his wontons and taking a sip of soup. "After we close this deal, I'll talk to Master Xu about some other business."

"Hahaha……"

Xu Congzhou laughed exaggeratedly again: "Okay, you're too interesting! I'll say it again, come work for me, I guarantee you'll be satisfied! This promise is valid indefinitely!"

"Thank you, Mr. Xu. I will seriously consider it."

"Alright, I'm off! Your brothers are all pretty good. Two of them were probably worried about you, so they sneaked over just now. Good for you, they're all loyal brothers!"

Xu Congzhou snapped his fingers, and his men immediately brought the two men over.

It was Yeren and Hongpao. They must have noticed something was wrong at the village entrance from upstairs and, fearing for An Xiaohai's safety, sneaked over.

"Not bad! Very good! Let's go!" Xu Congzhou waved his hand and led his gang of henchmen away.

"Are you two alright?" An Xiaohai asked as he walked over to Yeren and Hongpao.

"It's okay, they didn't use their full strength."

"Hey Hai, who's this guy? His men are amazing. They spotted me and Hongpao as soon as we got close, and we were subdued in no time. They're incredible."

The savage looked in the direction Xu Congzhou had left and spoke, his voice filled with lingering fear.

"He's Master Xu, and he's definitely a very capable person."

"So he's Master Xu, no wonder!" Hongpao said, stretching his wrists.

"You know him."

"Yes, I know him. Master Xu is quite famous."

"I see. As you know, I don't know much about the affairs of the martial arts world."

"It doesn't matter. As long as Brother Hai has a good relationship with our boss, that's enough. These underworld figures are just like that, it doesn't matter!"

"Wild Man, Red Cannon, if we cooperate with Master Xu on this deal, do you think there are any problems?"

"I don't think there's a big problem. We've heard that Master Xu is a loyal friend and ruthless enough. Cooperating with him shouldn't be a problem, but we'll have to see what the boss says."

"That's good! Alright, Savage, you can go back now. Red Cannon, come with me."

"OK."

In the small building near Kunji

Hongpao was still studying the negatives with Kunji when An Xiaohai glanced at the laptop. The hacking was complete, but An Xiaohai didn't rush to open the system.

Let's wait until Hongpao leaves before making any decisions.

"Brother Hai, we've basically figured out the license plate!" Hongpao said as he came out of the darkroom. "There's just one letter we can't be completely sure of. It could be a Q, but it could also be an O."

"Brother, why don't I make another trip? I'll just go into the garage and take a look," Kun Ji said from the side.

"No need," An Xiaohai waved his hand, then frowned and thought for a while before saying to Hongpao:

"Hongpao, tell your boss all the details about these three cars. Tell him that he must find the same cars as soon as possible, and get them over here with the correct license plates."

The other two cars don't matter, the most important thing is this red Ferrari. We must find a way to get it, and make sure he confirms it by tomorrow.

If he's certain he can get it, we'll proceed as planned; if he can't, we'll need to change our plans.

Once the vehicle is confirmed, we can determine the timing of our operation, understand?

"Understood, Brother Hai."

"Okay, you can go back now. Do you need me to give you a ride?"

"No need, I can go back by myself, it's easy to hail a taxi."

"Okay, then be careful."

Hongpao left in a hurry. An Xiaohai opened his laptop, and after a while, the computer skipped the step of entering a username and password and entered the system.

The so-called system is actually a rather rudimentary-looking map made up of thin blue lines, with a simple English menu bar at the top.

An Xiaohai studied the menu for a moment, found the option to display all terminals, and pressed Enter.

After another long wait, a small red dot finally lit up on the map, followed by a second, a third...

Half an hour later, hundreds of bright spots lit up on the map, like a shower of starlight!
