Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Urban village, kite rendezvous point

"Why don't you want to come back?" Wang Tiejun asked Ah Huo, his brows furrowed.

Ah Huo didn't answer, he just kept smoking.

"Forget it, come back. You've been undercover long enough. Don't continue!" Wang Tiejun sighed dejectedly.

"Captain Wang, this doesn't sound like you..." Ah Huo finally spoke up.

"Yes, this doesn't seem like me," Wang Tiejun said, half-lying on the small sofa. "We've worked hard for so many years, bit by bit, and we've managed to take down quite a few of their tentacles."

However, as soon as An Xiaohai made his move, their organization in the entire Deep Sea City collapsed instantly!

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, why did this happen?

Maybe I was too much like myself before, which is why I couldn't do anything about them. Perhaps An Xiaohai is right; I can only win if I become someone I'm not.

So come back, let's try again in a different way!

"No! The Sea Hawks have only been temporarily defeated. They still have a huge force outside of Deepsea City. If we let this go unchecked, I'm sure they'll make a comeback in less than a year."

To completely eradicate them, the only way is to destroy their overseas bases. Once their overseas bases are destroyed, they will lose their supply of goods, and it won't be long before all the sea hawks naturally fall apart.

I was so close, just one step away! This opportunity is too good to pass up, I don't want to give it up.

At this point, Ah Huo let out a strong breath, as if to blow away all the tension and frustration in his heart.

"No, Ah Huo, this time... I have a bad feeling. I think this is very likely a trap!" Wang Tiejun said, shaking his head slightly.

"But it could also be an opportunity, right?" Ah Huo stubbed out the half-finished cigarette and stood up.

"How many years has it been?! I've finally waited for this opportunity, and you want me to give it up now? I'm not willing to accept that."

"Ah Huo, you... don't do this. You don't need to argue with An Xiaohai over a moment's pride."

"Haha, it's a pity I didn't fight back in the moment."

Captain Wang, there are many things you don't know, and I don't plan to tell you. I have no jealousy towards An Xiaohai whatsoever, and I would never argue with him over a moment's pride.

When you told me about what he did in the First Prison, didn't I already say that if he came, Haiyaozi might be in big trouble?

See, I wasn't wrong. How long has it been? The sea harriers of Deepsea City have been ruined by him.

But we can't ask him to do any more; we're the police!

Captain Wang, think about it. He's done so much. What if the Sea Hawks discover something and come after Xiao Hai for revenge? So even if it's just for Xiao Hai's sake, we must eliminate the Sea Hawks as soon as possible.

Only in this way can we do justice to him!

"I understand, you two...sigh!" Wang Tiejun sighed softly, closing his eyes in pain. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let you carry out this mission!"

"You're here again!" Ah Huo sighed slightly. "Back then, I asked to go undercover myself, and I also asked to inherit the code name Kite."

Before me, three kites broke their strings and couldn't fly back. I have to find them! This is the oath I swore when I inherited this code name, and I must fulfill it.

And what about Senior Luo Xiangyang? Captain Wang, don't you want to find him anymore?

Wang Tiejun did not answer, and the pain on his face deepened.

"Alright, Captain Wang, stop it. The outcome is still uncertain! Don't worry, I'll be back safely," Ah Huo gently patted Wang Tiejun's thigh and turned his gaze to the window.

The sun had already begun to set, and the view outside the window was golden, but the buildings in the urban village were too densely packed, so I could only imagine the magnificent sunset in my mind.

Have you told An Xiaohai about this?

"no."

Why didn't you tell him?

"I'm afraid he won't let me go."

"You're afraid he won't let you go? I tried to stop you, but you insisted on going anyway! You're actually afraid he'll stop you from going!"

"Of course, you can stop me from going, but I'm not afraid. You only talk the talk, but this kid will actually do it!" Ah Huo finally smiled.

"He never plays by the rules. If he grabs a sack and puts it over me, I'll be completely helpless!"

"You seem to know him quite well!"

"Of course, he can definitely do it."

"I think you should talk to him and listen to his opinion. That would make things much better, and I would feel much more at ease."

"What do you mean, Captain Wang?"

"What I mean is, you are indeed quite different from him! Listen to his opinions; you might get some new ideas."

What, you're afraid to ask him? Afraid of proving you're wrong? And you still say it's not jealousy!

"Heh heh, Captain Wang, your attempt to provoke me was clumsy!"

Royal Water Club, Deepsea City, Top Floor Office

The foreigner kept fiddling with a lighter in his hand, the flickering flame making his face somewhat blurry.

Foreigner Qiang is from Hong Kong, but he has spent far more time in Shenzhen than in Hong Kong.

Foreigner Qiang has always had a very sharp eye. When Deepsea City was first established, he sensed the potential for wealth and resolutely gave up fighting in Red Port, turning most of his energy to the neighboring Deepsea City.

After more than a decade of operation, Gui Laoqiang finally achieved his goal, almost monopolizing the sex industry in Shenhai City and firmly establishing himself in the city's underworld.

With the industries in Deepsea City as support, the foreigner Qiang extended his reach back to Red Harbor, and quickly established a considerable influence there.

For a time, the foreigner Qiang was in a very advantageous position.

In the underworld, the most lucrative and relatively stable source of income is what people call prostitution, gambling, and drugs.

The main business of Jushenghe, where Guilaoqiang worked, was originally underground gambling dens. However, Guilaoqiang was a bit timid. When he came to Shenhai City, he found that people were already involved in gambling and drugs. The underground gambling dens were run by Zhupolong, and the drug trafficking was handled by the Waterbird Gang.

Foreigner Qiang didn't want to clash directly with these two groups, so he chose the sex industry. Although the sex industry wasn't as lucrative as gambling and drugs, it was relatively mild and relatively safe.

Foreigner Qiang originally thought that these good days would continue, but recently, the situation has suddenly taken a sharp turn for the worse!

First, Zhu Polong got into trouble. I heard that his villa was ransacked and he is still in the hospital and hasn't woken up yet. He might become a vegetable.

The underground gambling dens in Deepsea City, as well as the financial company associated with Pig Dragon, are now in chaos. The police are constantly cracking down on them from the outside, while their own people are killing each other in a bloody struggle for power and profit from within.

Immediately afterwards, the Sea Hawks operated by the Waterbird Gang in Deep Sea City were completely eradicated by the police!

The iron triangle of prostitution, gambling, and drugs has suddenly lost two corners.

At this moment, the foreigner Qiang was very worried. He was worried that once the Deepsea City police had wiped out the remaining forces of Pig Dragon and Sea Hawk, they might target him when they had nothing else to do.

That's highly likely!

What's more, the foreigner Qiang had an even bigger worry: he had lost an important list, and he hadn't dared to tell a single word about it to anyone else.

The list was secretly collected by the foreigner himself. Even if the list were to be leaked, or even if people found out that he had collected the list, he would be doomed!

Fortunately, there didn't seem to be any serious consequences after the list was lost, but Guo Laoqiang didn't dare to relax at all. It was like a second shoe; as long as it didn't fall, Guo Laoqiang couldn't sleep peacefully.

"well……"

Foreigner Qiang sighed deeply. His 60th birthday was just a few days away, and he had put a lot of effort into preparing for it.

He had already sent invitations to well-known triads and figures in both Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and they all agreed to come.

Foreigner Qiang originally thought he would have a lively and very respectable birthday, but who knew that a series of major events would happen in Shenhai City during this period. Under the continuous crackdown by the police, the entire underworld was crippled!

Zhu Polong is in the hospital. Guo Xiangshui has been buried for some time now. Of the Chen brothers who were involved in smuggling, the fourth brother is in jail, and the third brother has fled...

Almost all the influential figures in the Shenzhen underworld have been wiped out! The rest are just small fry who can't be brought to the table. Even Hu Haikong, who straddles the line between the legal and illegal worlds, has run into trouble and is nowhere to be found, dead or alive!

"What the hell?!"

The foreigner waved his hand impatiently, sweeping the stack of invitations off the table.

The invitations fluttered in the air, their vibrant red color like fire.

A remote urban village in Baoshan District

The elderly woman with gray hair finished collecting the trash and had just tied the trash bag shut when she thought for a moment, then untied it, took a steamed bun from the cupboard, wrapped it in a tissue, put it in the trash bag, and then tied the trash bag shut before leaving the house.

The old woman lives in a building on the very edge of this urban village.

In the past two days, the old woman noticed a homeless man, dressed entirely in black and wearing only a tattered shirt, hiding behind her house. Every time she went out to throw away the trash, the homeless man would wait until she left before running over to open the trash bags and rummage for food.

The old lady was a kind-hearted person. She lived alone and dared not take in homeless people, because one can never be too careful! But she couldn't bear to see the homeless man eating garbage, so she would always deliberately put some clean leftovers in the garbage bag.

The old woman threw away the trash, quickly returned to the stairwell, and peeked out from inside. Sure enough, the homeless man reappeared. He impatiently tore open the trash bag, found the steamed bun inside, and then quickly ran back into the shadows in the corner.

The old woman breathed a sigh of relief: "Poor thing... At least I got it, now I can go back in peace..."

The old woman turned around, only to be startled by the person behind her.

"Oh dear! Danzi, you almost scared me to death!" the old woman said, patting her chest.

"Grandma, are you hiding here watching handsome guys?" Xie Dan raised an eyebrow and said.

"You little rascal! Grandma is so old, and you still joke with her!" Grandma playfully slapped Xie Dan, who grinned broadly.
