Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Royal Dragon Seaview Villa District

Xu Tianyou stood swaggering on the balcony, waving a clothesline pole. A pair of white underwear, seemingly made of silk, was tied to the top of the pole, glistening under the light. No one knew where he had gotten it.

The police and special police officers across the square hesitated and dared not step forward immediately.

The gang of thugs entrenched in the villa had such powerful firepower, fighting like they didn't care about their lives, yet they suddenly waved the white flag. Who would believe that? It could very well be a trap they set!

Standing in the center of the crowd, Cao Yingying gritted her teeth, her anger rising. Although she knew that the people opposite her were her collaborators, Cao Yingying just couldn't control her temper.

These criminals are so arrogant! After tonight, Cao Yingying doesn't know how she'll face her colleagues!

A police officer ran quickly around the villa's perimeter and saluted Cao Yingying.

"What happened next?"

"Report to Captain Cao, a villa has suddenly caught fire."

"The villa is on fire?"

"To be precise, it wasn't the villa that caught fire, but a secret passage connected to the villa. The fire started inside the passage, but the fire is too intense for us to go in and check."

"understood."

Cao Yingying took a deep breath and gradually realized that An Xiaohai and his group's real target was the place where the fire started.

He led the police force to confront these ruthless bandits here, with the aim of maintaining proper control over the entire Yulong Wanghai villa area, preventing the owner of the secret passage from moving freely or reacting in a timely manner.

No wonder these thugs surrendered; it turns out they had already succeeded!

"Captain Cao, how about I go over and take a look, see what tricks they're up to!" Captain Wu of the SWAT team stepped forward again.

Before Cao Yingying could reply, a commotion arose at the back of the group, followed by the sound of engines. Three cars drove up: a Jeep in front and two black MPVs behind.

"Which one of you is Captain Cao from the Criminal Investigation Team?" Yan Hong, dressed in plainclothes and wearing sunglasses, jumped out of the jeep and asked expressionlessly.

"I am," Cao Yingying replied with the same expressionless face. "This is Captain Wu of the Special Police Team."

"Hello, this is my identification."

Yan Hong handed his ID to Cao Yingying, who glanced at it and then passed it to Captain Wu next to her. After carefully examining the ID, Captain Wu returned it to Yan Hong with both hands.

"We've taken over this area now. The bandits have surrendered, and I'll take them away. You need to reassure the local people and handle the aftermath."

"yes!"

Cao Yingying gritted her teeth and nodded, and Captain Wu saluted Yan Hong.

Yan Hong returned the greeting with a flourish, then turned around and waved. Several men in plainclothes followed behind him. Yan Hong led his men all the way to the building controlled by Xu Tianyou before stopping.

"Listen up, everyone inside! Put down your weapons, raise your hands above your heads, and slowly walk out! Continuing to resist will only lead to your death! Now!"

"Okay, I'll trust you this once, just don't shoot me, okay..."

After Xu Tianyou gave a lazy reply, he led his men out of the villa with their hands raised.

The people behind Yan Hong immediately stepped forward, handcuffed their hands behind their backs, and then put them all into the MPV. Yan Hong also got into the MPV immediately.

The entire operation proceeded smoothly, without even Xu Tianyou and his men removing the masks and bandit hoods they were wearing.

"You've worked hard, let's go!"

Yan Hong waved his hand and drove away with his men, while police and special police officers all over the mountains and ridges watched them with admiration.

The events of tonight are all eerie!

MPV

Yan Hong personally unlocked Xu Tianyou and the others' handcuffs and even returned their guns to them. Many people only breathed a sigh of relief after they held the familiar guns in their hands.

"Hey bro, not bad, who are you anyway? You're pretty awesome!" Xu Tianyou asked, glancing sideways.

"Of course we're people you can cooperate with and make a fortune together! I advise you not to ask so many questions. Who we are isn't important; what's important is that you can leave safely with the money."

"That's true. Where are you taking us now?"

"Of course we're going to the crime scene. We can't just let you go like this. Your accomplices will be lying in wait on the road. They'll kidnap you. Make it a fierce fight then."

"Understood," Xu Tianyou nodded slightly and released the safety on his AK.

dong dong dong~

The person in the front passenger seat knocked on the metal railing: "Boss, we're about to run over a landmine, get ready."

"Okay," Yan Hong nodded in response, gave Xu Tianyou a wink, and reached out to grab the iron railing beside him. Xu Tianyou and the others quickly did as he was told.

"Landmine, damn it..." Xu Tianyou was sweating profusely. An MPV running over a landmine? How could he possibly survive?

"Don't worry, it's specially made, it's just a bit bumpy," Yan Hong said, winking at Xu Tianyou as if he had seen through his thoughts.

Three loud bangs!

The jeep in front and the MPV following behind were lifted up by the huge blast wave. The three vehicles tumbled half a circle in the air before crashing to the ground, all of their windows shattered.

Xu Tianyou and the others, along with Yan Hong, struggled to climb out of the car. After confirming that no one was left inside, they began firing wildly at the vehicle.

Half a minute later, both cars were riddled with holes.

"King Kong calls to the wind, King Kong calls to the wind."

"Received, please speak."

Gillian Chung has escaped. Gillian Chung has escaped.

"Take them back to their hometown."

"receive."

After the call ended, Xu Tianyou nodded to Yan Hong. An Xiaohai had turned on all the terminals during the conversation, so everyone could hear his conversation with Yan Hong.

"Gentlemen, we have won! All objectives have been achieved!"

The typhoon is moving away, the typhoon is moving away. This is the last message the wind brings. Thank you for your hard work!

To reiterate, we've won! Great job everyone! Operation over!

At this moment, An Xiaohai's voice was full of exhaustion. After he finished speaking, a soft thud was heard in all the terminal earpieces, followed by silence. Even the faintest electrical sound disappeared!

The terminal has been shut down.

Standing in the darkness, Cao Yingying quietly took off her headphones, looked up, and saw a large number of police officers still busy in the Yulong Wanghai villa area, investigating traces and cleaning up the scene.

The SWAT team has been ordered to leave. They have just received news from headquarters that the vehicle transporting the criminals was attacked by another group of ruthless bandits on its way back to headquarters. Two members of the security department responsible for the escort were killed and one was seriously injured.

The special police team immediately rushed to provide support.

Cao Yingying knew very well that the special police team was destined to fail to catch anyone this time, and wouldn't even be able to gather any useful information.

The scene was a bit chaotic, and several ambulances and fire trucks arrived.

There weren't many injured officers; none of them had gunshot wounds. Most of them were injured from falls or bumps during the pursuit.

The fire in the innermost villa is almost extinguished. It is said that there was a very secure safe deposit box there, but the contents of the safe deposit box have been burned to ashes.

At the entrance to the secret passage in that villa, they found a large, obese man lying unconscious on the ground; he had been knocked unconscious and left there.

After confirmation by the security guards of the Yulong Wanghai Villa area, the large, fat man was identified as the owner of the villa and also the boss of the property management company, named Hong Jiangbo.

The obese man, Hong Jiangbo, is in a bad condition, mainly due to inhaling too much carbon dioxide. Medical staff are trying to save him.

Police officers patrolling at the foot of the mountain unexpectedly discovered a very strange scene.

There was a Santana parked deep in the woods, and no one knew how it got there.

The Santana crashed into a large rock. There was no one in the car, all the airbags had deployed, and the seats had been slashed with a knife. The person who slashed the seats was probably looking for something.

Apart from that, no other useful traces could be found at the scene, suggesting that it had been carefully cleaned up.

This left all the police officers puzzled.

Staring intently at the bustling scene before her, and then glancing back at the distant Deepsea City bathed in a soft glow, Cao Yingying felt an emptiness in her heart for the first time.

"Extraordinary people do extraordinary things... Don't doubt yourself, and even more so, don't deny yourself... Only by accomplishing what others cannot do can you truly demonstrate your value!..."

Zhou Zhengguo's words kept echoing in Cao Yingying's ears.

Cao Yingying looked up at the sky: "He really succeeded!..."

In an underground parking garage

Xia Qing couldn't help but turn around and take another look at the red Ferrari that was quietly parked there. Only now did she realize how beautiful this red sports car was! Every line of it was so smooth and natural, yet full of tension.

Two young soldiers were cleaning up the marks on the Ferrari. They had taken off their security guard uniforms and put on military uniforms. While cleaning, they kept stealing glances at Xia Qing.

No one dared to look closely during the mission, but now we can finally feast our eyes.

"Xia Xia!" Zhou Zhengguo, sitting in the back seat of the car, smiled and extended his palm.

Xia Qing took off her headphones and placed them in Zhou Zhengguo's palm. At this moment, she felt an emptiness in her heart.

"Xia, well done! You've done a great job this time, I'll recommend you for commendation!"

"Did I do something great?" Xia Qing murmured, as if everything these past few days had been a dream.

"Yes, you've done a great job! You did an excellent job this time and brought honor to our police force! Come on, get in the car and come back with me to your regular posts. You'll have a lot of work to do next!"

"Yes..." Xia Qing replied and got into the car.

The car starts.

As she was leaving, Xia Qing couldn't help but look back at the red Ferrari one last time, only to see two young armed police officers standing at attention, saluting them.

Xia Qing smiled slightly and was about to return a military salute when she heard a soft "bang." The tape on her face finally snapped, and she didn't know what her face looked like now.

Xia Qing hurriedly pulled her head back, and the car drove away.

-----

The car carrying Xu Tianyou and Yan Hong finally stopped. Feeling a bit suffocated, Xu Tianyou immediately pushed open the tailgate and was slightly taken aback by what he saw.

This place looks familiar; it's the abandoned shipyard where they met An Xiaohai last time they came here.

The dock was brightly lit and bustling with activity. One military jeep after another kept driving in, and there seemed to be quite a few people busy at work inside. A faint smell of hot pot could also be smelled wafting out.

An Xiaohai stood at the entrance of the dock, smiling at them. In the gentle sea breeze and under the dim light, his figure appeared somewhat thin.

A smile finally spread across Xu Tianyou's tense lips.

Xu Tianyou threw the gun behind him and strode quickly toward the slender figure at the door.
