Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

In the hotel room, An Xiaohai repeatedly flipped through Lu Guoliang's interrogation records without saying a word. Zhou Zhengguo sat quietly beside him, waiting without the slightest impatience.

This time, Zhou Zhengguo didn't bring his thermos. Even the tea that An Xiaohai brewed for him, he only took a couple of sips, which shows how much psychological trauma the Lu Guoliang incident caused him.

Xia Qing would steal glances at An Xiaohai every now and then, her eyes filled with a hidden feeling of heartache.

The gauze on An Xiaohai's face had been removed, and the deep scar was a bit frightening, but it also added a lot of sharpness and coldness to him.

Xia Qing suddenly realized that An Xiaohai in front of her was no longer the sunny and shy student who smiled. Sitting next to him, she felt as if she were standing on the edge of an abyss.

An Xiaohai spent a full hour reading the interrogation transcript before closing it, his slightly furrowed brows remaining furrowed.

Lu Guoliang's confession did not increase much, and the content was very fragmented, looking like a person's ramblings before death. Most of the content was a review of his life, the moments he thought were wonderful and glorious, and no useful information could be found.

"Xiao Hai, actually, after we interrogated him for a while, Lu Guoliang was taken away by them. If you want to see more of his statement, you can go and find them," Zhou Zhengguo quickly reminded An Xiaohai when he saw that An Xiaohai looked worried.

"They" definitely refers to 073 and the others.

"Yes, I understand. Thank you, Director Zhou."

An Xiaohai breathed a sigh of relief. The last time he met with 073, 073 did not mention Lu Guoliang, which meant that 073 and his team had not found out anything new, otherwise they would never have kept it from him.

"Xiao Hai, are you being so vigilant because you suspect there might be a mole within the Municipal Public Security Bureau?"

"Yes," An Xiaohai nodded, "However, this mole may not necessarily be in the Municipal Public Security Bureau; it could be in other departments, but the Public Security Bureau is the most likely suspect."

Zhou Zhengguo frowned and lowered his head. He trusted An Xiaohai's judgment, but he really didn't want to face the situation.

Someone who hides themselves so well must be an important figure to the other party, which suggests that this person is not very young.

However, there are not many veteran comrades left in the Municipal Public Security Bureau. No matter which of these veteran comrades is a spy, it will be a pain that Zhou Zhengguo cannot bear.

"What are you planning to do next?" Zhou Zhengguo finally asked after a long while.

"I actually already have a plan, but it's missing the help of a very important person. They're already helping with coordination. If the coordination is successful, the plan can be implemented; if not, we'll have to come up with a new plan."

However, in any case, it's a matter of time now, and I must eradicate the Flying Bird Gang as quickly as possible.

"Okay!" Zhou Zhengguo nodded vigorously: "Just tell us how you need our cooperation, and we will definitely cooperate fully with you."

"Okay, that's what we've been waiting for Director Zhou to say."

"You child...sigh!" Zhou Zhengguo sighed deeply. "Fighting crime is supposed to be our duty, but now...sigh!"

"Director Zhou, don't think like that. Fighting crime is everyone's responsibility. Besides, these people are not ordinary criminals at all. They've gone to great lengths to deal with us, so of course we have to retaliate."

Only by eliminating all these people can the majority of people live peacefully and safely.

"Look, you've said everything I said..." Zhou Zhengguo said with a wry smile.

"..."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

If there's a risk in our communication, then you should continue to contact Xia. She's less conspicuous. If we need to meet, we'll go to point one.

"These contact points haven't been dismantled yet?" An Xiaohai asked, somewhat surprised.

"Some were cancelled, but I secretly kept points one and two. Nobody knows about these two points except the three of us."

An Xiaohai smiled slightly. An old fox is an old fox. Zhou Zhengguo actually had his doubts about the mole in the Municipal Public Security Bureau, but he just didn't say it.

After seeing Zhou Zhengguo and Xia Qing off, An Xiaohai thought for a moment, then picked up the phone and dialed Xu Congzhou's number.

"Xiao Hai! I was just thinking about you. We're really on the same wavelength! Calling so late, what good news for your brother? Hahaha!" Xu Congzhou answered the phone very quickly.

"There's something I need to tell Director Xu: I met with Bald Eagle from the Flying Bird Gang today. Before leaving, he asked me who Master Xu was. I replied that Master Xu is from the Security Bureau and is an official. Tell them to be careful."

"...!"

"This...this seems a bit inappropriate!" Xu Congzhou was a little confused.

"Director Xu, this is what I think: the fact that Bald Eagle asked this question reveals a lot of information:"

First of all, they must have noticed you. Maybe they noticed you a long time ago, or maybe they only noticed you because of me.

Secondly, it's possible they've already confirmed your identity and are trying to test me with this question. If that's the case, Director Xu might need to be more cautious internally.

However, you'd better not make any moves in the next month. They just tested me, and you're already starting to investigate the inside. That would put me in some danger.

Third, I think that although the Flying Bird Gang knows your identity, it won't have a big impact on you for the time being. They would never spread this news around, as that would be suicidal.

Finally, if we can eradicate them completely in a short period of time, we can effectively control the leakage of information.

So I think it shouldn't be a big problem to reveal your identity.

"...

Xiao Hai, that's not what I meant. If revealing my identity helps you, I have no objection.

Whether I expose myself or not doesn't really matter. The key is that it's a pity that I'm here at this time. If they leak this news, all the efforts our Security Department has made in Deep Sea City over the years, and all the costs we've incurred, will be wasted.

"This won't do! I can't take that responsibility, and you can't just ignore it!"

"...I can compensate the Security Department for its economic losses."

"Oh, no need for that. The economic loss is a minor matter. The key issue is the loss of the intelligence network, and you must take responsibility for that."

Here's the arrangement: given that I and the intelligence network I've built are in danger of collapsing, you'll be responsible for rebuilding a reliable intelligence network.

I believe you absolutely have the ability!

I'll arrange an office for you. Come work here for a while and get the new intelligence network up and running.

"Okay, it's settled then!"

"...

But Director Xu, you know I'm busy right now. This is a crucial time to deal with the Flying Bird Gang.

"Hiss, you're right!"

Then come back after you've dealt with the Flying Bird Gang. That's settled. The office is all set up for you. Come and take a look when you have a chance, and see if you're satisfied.

If you're not satisfied, I'll change it for you. If you are, just put some personal items there, like clothes or documents, to reserve the space first, so that no one else will have designs on it.

Yes, that's what we'll do!

"..."

"Is there anything else?"

"No more for now."

"Want to come over and chat now?"

"Never mind, it's getting late, I should rest. I have things to do tomorrow."

"Okay, that's settled then. Remember to come visit your office!"

Xu Congzhou happily hung up the phone, while An Xiaohai was speechless, feeling that something was amiss! He checked the calendar on his phone and saw that there were only 11 days left until February 1st.

Eleven days later, it will be the day we part ways.

An Xiaohai forced himself to go to sleep. He planned to spend another day arranging all the affairs in Shenhai City, and then spend the rest of the time with Xuan'er and his family.

Early the next morning, An Xiaohai first went to the airport to pick up Lai Donglin, who was returning from Thailand. Then he called Tian Qiaoming, Ah Huo, Lao Ba, Er Mao, and Wang Bulai to invite them to get together at noon.

Everyone was both surprised and delighted. Ah Huo immediately booked the largest private room at the Xiangge Hotel, waiting for An Xiaohai to arrive.

An Xiaohai first took Lai Donglin back to the hotel and explained the next steps of the plan to Lai Donglin in detail.

Lai Donglin's task was not particularly complicated. The main task was to establish an independent professional financial planning and management company to handle the financial problems of An Xiaohai and all his friends.

Of the money Lai Donglin transferred back, An Xiaohai kept 3 million and gave the rest to Lai Donglin.

Throughout the process, Lai Donglin listened attentively and took notes. His eyes were a little red, filled with gratitude but also worry. He could hear the sense of farewell in An Xiaohai's words.

"Ah Lai, is there anything else you don't understand?" An Xiaohai asked after he finished speaking.

"There's nothing I don't understand. What you're saying, boss, is all within my area of ​​expertise. Boss, how's Kun Kee doing? I haven't seen him."

"Kunji..." An Xiaohai took a deep breath: "He was slightly injured, but it's not a big problem. He just can't do strenuous exercise anymore. He has a very important mission to complete right now, and he'll be back once he finishes it."

"Boss, I'll miss you all."

"What are you talking about!?" An Xiaohai smiled slightly: "We just need to disappear for a while, and we'll naturally come back when the danger is over."

You, on the other hand, must be careful.

Before I leave, I will say goodbye to Director Zhou Zhengguo, Captain Zhou Meng, and Master Xu. If you feel any danger or encounter any trouble, you can ask them for help.

And Ah Huo, you're quite familiar with him, he'll help you too. All four of these people are trustworthy, understand?

"Understood, boss. Don't worry, I'll be fine. You all need to be careful."

"Alright, don't be sad anymore. Now you've gotten your revenge, you have money, and you'll soon be the CEO of the finance company. Work hard, live well, and make up for everything you lost before!"

"I've entrusted Mr. Tian and Qiaoyu to you. The rest is up to you."

"Okay, I definitely won't let the boss down!"

"Whether I am disappointed or not is irrelevant; you should not let yourself down."

Alright, let's go to the banquet. I'll introduce you to the others. Although most of them are involved in the underworld, they are all decent people and actually have a lot of valuable resources at their disposal; they just don't know how to monetize them.

If you help them and integrate their resources, they'll definitely be able to achieve great things.

"Okay, boss, let's go."

"Walk."
