Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Haizhou City, Haizhou Headquarters of the Security Bureau

Xu Congzhou strode into the headquarters, immediately becoming the focus of everyone's attention. The respect in the eyes of everyone who saluted him was undisguised.

Xu Congzhou maintained a serious expression but returned the greeting with ease, his gait exuding elegance, though he was secretly overjoyed.

After the operation was completed, Xu Congzhou handed over the prepared summary report. Immediately, he received more than a dozen phone calls, all asking if the numbers in the report were wrong or if he had added two extra zeros.

Xu Congzhou patiently explained to him: That's right, there are just that many zeros, a full 16 billion!

Every time Xu Congzhou finished explaining, there would be a long silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a gasp of surprise. Xu Congzhou was waiting for that gasp; it sounded incredibly satisfying, even from his boss, Ye Du.

Although Xu Congzhou and Ye Du were in a superior-subordinate relationship, they grew up in the same compound. Xu Congzhou was the king of the kids in the compound when he was young, while Ye Du was the one who was bullied most of the time.

Ye Du's nickname, which people had used for many years, was given to him by Xu Congzhou.

Who knew that fortunes would turn around? After growing up, Ye Doudou, who was always bullied by them, actually became Master Xu's boss.

Really good-for-nothing!

Ye Du called Xu Congzhou yesterday and asked him to come to headquarters early this morning to report on his work. Xu Congzhou was both excited and conflicted. He was excited because this time he could finally show his face.

The problem is, he knows Ye Du too well; this guy is trying to rob him…

"Hello, Ye Du!" Xu Congzhou greeted her with a forced and insincere smile as he pushed open the office door.

"Don't give me that!" Ye Du sat crookedly on the sofa, not even looking at Xu Congzhou, and simply tossed him a cigarette.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Xu Congzhou raised an eyebrow. Ye Du seemed to sense something was off, and said with a low spirit.

"Bug, is it really a 40/60 split between you and An Xiaohai and the others?"

"Yes, is there a problem? Didn't I write it all clearly in my report?"

"Come on, if you say it's 40/60, then it's definitely 30/70, and 80% it's 20/80. Don't I know you?" Ye Du still didn't even look at Xu Congzhou.

……

"DouDou, I had no choice! If I didn't keep some for myself, headquarters wouldn't leave me a single penny, you believe me?"

This is an unspoken understanding between the two: if they address each other by their job title or name, it's considered a business conversation; if they address each other by nicknames, it's considered a private conversation.

When discussing business, they do so strictly; when discussing personal matters, they chat like childhood friends, keeping their boundaries very clear.

"You know, I've almost drained my father's resources just to cover the expenses in Shenhai City. Now that we've finally pulled off a big heist, I have to find a way to keep some of it for myself."

You know perfectly well that life has been really tough for us over the years…”

"Alright, alright, here we go again!" Ye waved his hand impatiently. "Of course I know exactly what's going on over there, but don't be so reckless, kid."

If you pocketed a couple of million, I could turn a blind eye, but you've gone too far. Can't you... never mind, even if you hand it all over, it won't make a difference."

"DouDou, what's wrong? Did something happen that I don't know about?"

"See for yourself!" Ye Du exhaled a smoke ring, casually picked up a document from the table next to him, and tossed it onto the coffee table.

Xu Congzhou picked up the file bag, and the words "Top Secret" in bright red caught his eye.

"Do you think this is suitable?"

"You're the head of a sub-provincial level unit, so it's appropriate for you to see this. If it weren't, I wouldn't have shown it to you. Take a look, and you'll understand what happened."

Xu Congzhou raised an eyebrow, took out the document and started reading. After reading only a few lines, his expression became extremely interesting!

Ye Du kept smoking silently, lost in thought, and didn't look at Xu Congzhou once.

"grass!……"

After reading the documents, Xu Congzhou stuffed them into a file bag, threw them back onto the coffee table, lit the cigarette Ye Du had given him, and sat on the sofa to smoke, all his smugness vanishing!

Now the two of them are in the same boat again.

"It's so annoying! Why can't we beat that guy? We've never beaten him even once in our lives!" Ye Du said, annoyed, as he stubbed out his cigarette.

"Yeah, how come Wood is so lucky? I thought I could beat him this time, but I lost again. It's so annoying!" Xu Congzhou felt the same way.

The document, issued by the central government, praised the Security Department for its work in Shenhai City, Haidong Province, stating that they had seized a treasury belonging to an espionage organization in Shenhai City and confiscated a total of 23.7 billion yuan in illicit funds and goods.

This number sounds like it's a few hundred million less than what the security department got, but that's in US dollars!

$23.7 billion! That's equivalent to the annual GDP of an average prefecture-level city. The Security Department can be said to have achieved legendary status this time!

In addition to commending the Security Department for its achievements, the Central Committee issued this document and ordered the Haizhou branch of the Security Department to supervise the flow of allocated funds.

The authorities were concerned that withdrawing such a large sum of money from the underworld and spy organizations in Shenhai City at once would cause economic turmoil in Shenhai City and even the entire Haidong Province. So, they made a bold move and transferred half of the money back to Haidong Province to counteract the instability caused by it.

The Haizhou branch of the Security Department is to secretly monitor how these funds are used.

"Damn it... if we do this, won't we all end up cleaning up that blockhead's mess?!" Xu Congzhou sighed to the heavens.

"Who says otherwise?!" Ye Du also sighed, "You were so smug, making me excitedly run to report to the old man, only to have him reply with: 'Oh, I know.'"

I was completely stunned!

"..."

"This An Xiaohai is something else! He just gave away such a large sum of money without even blinking! Bug, how come this kind of person isn't one of us?"

You're busy running around, jumping up and down, providing equipment and manpower, and you still have to put on a smiling face and get approvals from above.

In the end, you only got a bowl of soup; all the meat was eaten by Mu Tou and his men! And even that little bit of soup was taken by An Xiaohai.

Tell me, aren't you wronged?

"Injustice! This is absolutely injustice!" Xu Congzhou slapped his thigh, feeling that nothing was right! He had clearly received credit and benefits, but he was still very unhappy!

Thinking about it more carefully, the more I think about it, the more wronged I feel!

073 It seems like they didn't do anything. At most, they gave people some makeup and a little training, and then they were responsible for signal jamming. The people and equipment for signal jamming were all provided by them!

What kind of nonsense is this?!

"Alright, stop bothering me, it's no use!" Ye Du lit another cigarette. "Tell me the whole story of this operation, the more detailed the better."

"Didn't I write it all out clearly in my report?"

"Who cares to read so many words? Tell me, especially the parts of the report that can't be said."

"Alright..."

Xu Congzhou took a deep breath and recounted the entire operation to Ye Du in detail, especially explaining the details that couldn't be mentioned in the reports.

Ye Du clenched his fists, rested his elbows on his knees, and listened attentively, nodding slightly from time to time.

"In general, An Xiaohai first tried to find out the so-called insurance vault set up by those underworld figures, which was actually the vehicle they had prepared to escape with."

Then, in coordination with the armed police, we simultaneously seized vehicles at more than 30 locations throughout Shenhai City, catching the other side completely off guard.

Those gangsters lost their cars and were in a panic, so they had no choice but to send all their men to search the streets. However, An Xiaohai, together with the police and the local gangsters, as well as us, these gangsters who came out to look for the cars, went to Zhu Polong's transfer center.

After these underworld figures were forced into the three buildings, An Xiaohai used his men to create chaos in the central transfer center of Zhupolong, namely Shuitian Building, to cause them panic and pave the way for the legitimate transfer of funds.

Of course, all three transfer centers were fake; the real transfer center was in the building next door. An Xiaohai had already figured this out before the operation, but that didn't hinder his plan.

Finally, An Xiaohai directed the bandits involved in the operation to lure a large number of police officers to Zhu Polong's lair. This gave the police a reason to block their operations, and the security department blocked the communication between Zhu Polong and the three transfer centers.

At the same time, we, the armed police, and the bandits disguised ourselves as Zhu Polong's men and used the stolen cars to form a convoy, swindling all of Zhu Polong's funds hidden in the real transfer center.

This is the part I was involved in. As for the part that the security department was involved in, I didn't manage it. But throughout the entire operation, An Xiaohai didn't communicate with them at all through the communication system.

It's unbelievable that they managed to accomplish such a huge thing behind the scenes! I have no idea how they did it!

"Hehe, let me tell you how they did it!"

After a long while, Ye smiled helplessly and said.
