Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Chapter 465 Are You Overthinking It?

Xu Congzhou chatted with An Xiaohai for a while longer, but sensing that An Xiaohai was forcing a smile, Xu Congzhou decisively shut his mouth.

Xu Congzhou was actually quite surprised. He truly felt An Xiaohai's anger and sorrow. He never expected that the sacrifice of an undercover armed police officer would have such a profound impact on An Xiaohai.

But this is a good thing!

Looking out the car window at the seemingly endless stream of cars, An Xiaohai gently stroked the red string on his wrist.

When Chen Xiru put the bracelet on his wrist, An Xiaohai didn't pay much attention to the bracelet itself, but after returning home, he quickly discovered the secret within it:

The bracelet's weaving technique is indeed very special, but what's even more special is its knots. Those knots are arranged in Morse code, which translates to four words: "Lifelong Love".

Who says soldiers don't understand romance? This kind of romance is like a silent thunderclap.

An Xiaohai took off the bracelet and carefully stored it in a box. This bracelet carried a weight he could not bear.

An Xiaohai carefully studied the knotting technique of the bracelet, and then found a red rope to braid a new one for himself, except that An Xiaohai changed the arrangement of the knots.

The password in the bracelet is now Lin Xuan'er's name.

Even if the bracelet didn't contain such a password, An Xiaohai still couldn't possibly wear it around in public. It was too dangerous. Once the Flying Bird Gang saw through it, no amount of explanation would help, and it might even implicate Chen Xiru and Lin Xuan'er.

Never mind, I'll just put it away.

That person today was actually a very good actor, and the bracelet he was wearing was woven correctly; he just didn't know that there was a hidden code inside.

Although An Xiaohai only glanced at it briefly, he had already noticed that the man's bracelet did not contain a password. Moreover, the bracelet was just a token of love from Lin Jianguo, but this man was using it as a rendezvous token, which was completely absurd.

Therefore, this person cannot be Lin Xuan'er's father, nor can he be the drifting dandelion. If he were to play the dandelion's friend, there might be a glimmer of hope, but to play the dandelion herself is just too ridiculous.

"Why? Why did they use an undercover police officer to test me? Why didn't they pretend to be an undercover police officer to test me?... Did they know that Dandelion was a member of the armed police?"

These questions kept swirling in An Xiaohai's mind.

Dandelion must have been exposed. How he was exposed is no longer important. What is important is whether the Flying Bird Gang has confirmed his identity as an armed police officer.

If things are uncertain, that's normal; but if they are certain, things become more complicated.

An Xiaohai had a hunch that the Flying Bird Gang had confirmed Dandelion's identity as an armed police officer. How did they confirm it?

If that's the case, there are two possibilities:

The first possibility is that there are informants from the Flying Bird Gang within the armed police force; the second possibility is that the Flying Bird Gang has informants within the police force who helped them rule out the possibility that Dandelion is an undercover police officer.

Since Dandelion is not a police informant, he is most likely an undercover agent of the armed police.

There is actually a third possibility: that Dandelion betrayed the group after being exposed. However, this possibility is unlikely, otherwise it would be Dandelion herself who appeared today.

In that case, An Xiaohai would be in danger.

But no, the person who came was a pretty good actor, and he didn't know the secret of the bracelet.

This was just the first suspicious point; following this line of thought, things suddenly became dangerous again.

Why did the Flying Bird Gang use an undercover police officer to test me? Wouldn't it have been safer to use an undercover police officer? Was this a coincidence, or was it intentional?

If it was intentional, there's only one possibility: the Flying Bird Gang doesn't think my relationship with the police is important; they're more interested in figuring out my relationship with the armed police...

My relationship with the police is not important...

An Xiaohai took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and carefully recalled every detail of his contact with the police.

It doesn't seem that important.

An Xiaohai only provided Wang Tiejun with a few limited clues, and Wang Tiejun's damage to the Sea Hawk was very limited. Even if An Xiaohai hadn't provided those clues, the credit would still have been within Wang Tiejun's capabilities.

In their collaboration with Zhou Zhengguo, major events were basically carried out by the two of them alone, with almost no one else involved. The only people who knew a little about the inside story were Cao Yingying and Xia Jing. There were many things that even Wang Tiejun probably didn't know.

Cao Yingying and Xia Jing should be fine, otherwise the typhoon operation wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

The remaining task force was the special task force. An Xiaohai hardly assigned them any tasks. As for tracking Ah Huo, it seemed more like a perfunctory task to outsiders.

Most importantly, the major operations against the Flying Bird Gang were not carried out by the police; the armed police were more deeply involved, and in many cases, it seemed as if the armed police were in charge.

The armed police did a very good job of keeping secrets. An Xiaohai had very few contacts with the armed police, only three or four in total: Zhou Meng, Yan Hong, and their bodyguards.

Zhou Meng and Yan Hong are definitely fine, and their bodyguards are also very likely to be fine as well.

"Is this why you used an undercover police officer to test me?...Are you trying to confirm my real connections with the armed police?...Is the Shenhai City Public Security Bureau truly clean?...Am I overthinking things?...

An Xiaohai clenched his teeth.

This was actually a very good opportunity. The fact that the Flying Bird Gang came to test him meant that their bigwigs were ready to make contact with him.

If An Xiaohai passes the test, Li Maocai will likely arrange for him to meet with a big shot from the Flying Bird Gang.

But now that things have escalated like this, things are probably in a bit of trouble.

An Xiaohai knew very well that his reaction this time was excessive. Without a suitable reason, it would be difficult to explain. An Xiaohai's behavior was very much like a form of revenge, revenge for the sacrificed armed police officers.

Therefore, we must find a suitable reason as soon as possible.

An Xiaohai doesn't regret any of this. If he had to do it all over again, he would still make the same choice.

I won't feel at ease until I kill these people!

In a luxurious but dark villa

An Zhehao lay on the sofa, habitually swirling a glass of red wine in his hand, while the butler-like man stood to the side with his head slightly bowed.

"You mean he executed that man by dismemberment?"

"Yes," the butler nodded slightly, "Then, he launched a massacre without hesitation, and none of those who went there survived."

"Oh, this is interesting, it's getting more and more interesting!"

An Zhehao put down his wine glass, got up and walked to the window. His emotions, which had been calm and composed, seemed to have stirred slightly within him.

"How long of a knife did you use?"

"About 30 centimeters."

"30 centimeters... Interesting! Have you ever tried using such a long knife to cut off a living person's head?"

"no."

"I suggest you try it, and then come back and tell me how it feels. I guarantee you'll never forget that feeling."

"Yes."

An Zhehao smiled slightly, then turned his gaze to the window: "Christmas, but it seems I've heard news of a demon's birth... Interesting, this world is getting more and more interesting!..."

You seem to be getting more and more perfect...

But it's still a little short, just a tiny bit more! ...

Is it because there are still things I care about? ...

You still have worries. As long as those worries exist, you can never be perfect. Should I help you get rid of these worries? ...

No, let's wait a little longer, let's wait a little longer...

My most perfect creation! I really want to see the day you completely evolve... I wonder if I'll ever live to see that day...

hope...

What will you do next? Should I help you complete your final transformation...?

Never mind, let's wait a little longer...

"Master, there's one more thing."

"explain."

"The person they sent was terrified and begged many times to go back."
