Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

The people in the ambulance had their weapons confiscated and were then roughly dragged to the middle of the road and made to kneel in a row.

The worst off was Xia Qing. She was wearing a short skirt, and her knees were scraped and bleeding, staining the road red. The thugs who were grabbing her hair showed her no mercy despite her beauty.

An Xiaohai, shirtless and carrying a submachine gun, stepped out of the ambulance. A thug tried to help him up, but he pushed him away.

An Xiaohai looked around and saw that the streets were empty and silent!

The three cars from the security station were riddled with bullet holes, wisps of smoke were rising from them, and the remaining car windows were covered in blood.

The pedestrians on the street had long since vanished without a trace, and the people in the nearby shops hid behind various obstacles, trembling as they looked at the street that resembled a battlefield.

Wild Man and Acha, who were not wearing bandit masks, stepped forward, draped a black trench coat over An Xiaohai's shoulders, and stood beside him.

An Xiaohai slowly walked towards Liu Cong, Xia Jing, and the others who were kneeling in the middle of the road, and soon stood opposite the five of them.

The atmosphere was so oppressive it was almost palpable.

An Xiaohai waved his finger, and the thugs who were grabbing the five men by the hair immediately scattered.

Da da da da...

An Xiaohai pulled the trigger, and the submachine gun casually swept across the five people kneeling on the ground. The five men fell to the ground, blood spurting out. A slight commotion arose around them, but it quickly returned to dead silence.

An Xiaohai still seemed unsatisfied. He stepped forward and fired several more shots at Xiao Luo, who was wearing an armed police uniform, in the chest. Xiao Luo let out a suppressed roar, and his whole body began to convulse. After convulsing a few times, he became stiff.

This isn't acting, it really hurts...

An Xiaohai tossed the submachine gun behind him, which the savage caught steadily. He looked around, but still couldn't see a single person. An Xiaohai knew that at this very moment, countless eyes were watching him from the shadows.

A faint engine sound came from nearby, and a black Mercedes slowly drove up and stopped.

An Xiaohai looked up and saw Ye Du sitting in the driver's seat of the Mercedes.

Director Ye actually came to pick him up in person.

Another roar of an engine came from the side, and a motorcycle stopped next to the Mercedes. The rider was wearing a tight-fitting outfit and a helmet, but you could tell from her figure that she was a woman.

It was Mai Xiaoyu; An Xiaohai recognized her at a glance.

An Xiaohai walked to the Mercedes-Benz, turned around and bowed slightly to Ye Du inside the car, then walked to the motorcycle without looking back, climbed onto the back seat, and put his arm around Mai Xiaoyu's waist.

Mai Xiaoyu twisted the throttle, and the motorcycle shot forward. An Xiaohai, sitting on the back, waved, and the thugs all over the street immediately returned to their cars, started the engine, and gave chase.

"Sigh..." Xu Congzhou sighed deeply from the back seat of the Mercedes. "We've worked so hard all day, and it's all for nothing! Dou Dou, I think we've really embarrassed ourselves this time..."

"Shut up!" Ye Du glared at Xu Congzhou in the rearview mirror before driving off in another direction.

As sirens blared, a large number of police cars roared in from afar.

The people hiding in various corners finally breathed a sigh of relief, but looking at the five people lying in the middle of the street in a pool of blood, they all felt weak and couldn't even stand up.

The next morning, the television in the hospital room was broadcasting the news.

"Our station's latest news: Last night, our city's public security and armed police organized a joint operation and successfully destroyed a super-large drug trafficking den located at the foot of Meihua Mountain."

In this operation, the police and armed police engaged in a fierce gun battle with the criminals, killing three criminals, seriously injuring one, and seizing a large quantity of new types of drugs.

Currently, the total quantity of new types of drugs is still being meticulously counted.

Comrade Liu Yusheng, the Party Secretary of our city, was unfortunately shot while directing the operation on site and was in critical condition. After the medical staff did their best to save him, he is now out of danger.

Half an hour later, the convoy transporting the seriously wounded bandits was attacked by several armed bandits near the intersection of Beihuan Road and Shuitian Road.

The wounded criminal was rescued by his accomplices. Twelve police officers who were escorting the criminal were killed and four were seriously injured. The injured police officers are still undergoing intensive care.

Mayor Li Hong of our city has given instructions: In this incident, the criminals were extremely arrogant, and the impact was extremely negative…”

A knocking sound rang out on the door.

"Come in!" Liu Yusheng, who was drinking water, put down his glass and turned down the volume of the television.

The ward door opened, and Zhou Zhengguo came in. He seemed to be fine, but he looked much older.

"Old Zhou, sit down, are you alright?" Liu Yusheng, wearing a hospital gown, quickly invited Zhou Zhengguo to sit down and personally brought him a glass of water.

Zhou Zhengguo took the water glass but didn't drink from it; instead, he put it aside.

"Secretary, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, but my chest still hurts a little."

I never expected this! The bullet's propellant had been reduced, and I had taken precautions, but getting hit by a bullet still hurts so much!

"Secretary, I'm sorry to have put you in such a risk."

"Hey!" Liu Yusheng waved his hand and sighed softly, "This really is nothing. It wasn't until last night that I finally truly understood what our comrades on the front lines have to face!"

They are amazing!

Honestly, when I saw Chung Chen so resolutely shoot herself and smash her brains to pieces, I almost couldn't help but throw up.

That feeling was awful! Luckily, I managed to hold it in.

Old Zhou, tell me, what are these people thinking? How could they be so ruthless? Sigh…

terrible!

It's not easy, it's really not easy! I really don't know what kind of torture our comrades will suffer now that they've fallen into these people's hands...

Old Zhou, what's wrong? I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have told you all this..."

Liu Yusheng panicked. He had gotten a little carried away with his words and hadn't noticed that Zhou Zhengguo, sitting to the side, was already in tears.

"It's alright, Secretary, I'm fine, it's just that my heart is aching terribly!" Zhou Zhengguo took out a handkerchief and kept wiping the tears from his face.

"By the way, Lao Zhou, An Xiaohai is out of danger, right?" Liu Yusheng quickly changed the subject.

"Yes, he's safe. He was picked up by the security personnel and should be out of danger."

Zhou Zhengguo nodded while wiping away his tears and said, "The other comrades are also fine, but Liu Cong and Xia Jing will be unable to work for a while."

"Oh, that's good! That's good! I'm glad everyone's alright!"

Old Zhou, don't be sad. No matter what, we won a great victory in yesterday's battle!

I bet you don't know this yet, but the operation outside of Deepsea City also went very smoothly. All three drug manufacturing plants were shut down, all drug traffickers were arrested, no civilians were injured, and no soldiers were killed or wounded.

The members of the Flying Bird Gang, who were hiding in various departments of our province, including their downlines and associates, have almost all been arrested. A large number of the corrupt officials who provided them with protection have also been arrested.

That felt so good!

The Flying Bird Gang, which has plagued us for so many years, has finally collapsed completely. The comrades who sacrificed themselves for this can finally rest in peace.

"Old Zhou, pull yourself together! We've won! A resounding victory!"

"Yes, we won, but I lost, and I lost completely!"

The Municipal Public Security Bureau, which I was in charge of, was completely infiltrated by them. I promoted two deputy directors, and they... were both spies! Especially Tong...

Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore.

What a failure! A complete failure! And I was so smug, thinking I had everything under control, but who knew... sigh!

I am a sinner!

"Old Zhou, don't say that. The enemy is indeed too cunning. It's not entirely your fault."

"No, this is my fault! I have no face to continue sitting in the position of director. I... it's time for me to take a break."

"Old Zhou, you absolutely can't think like that! How can the Municipal Bureau function without you?!"

"Yes, it's definitely possible! Secretary, I'm not putting on a show for you here. Every word I say comes from the bottom of my heart."

I'm getting old, and my body can't keep up anymore. It's time for me to rest. I should hand over the future to the younger generation.

"This...no, I disagree! The Municipal Bureau still needs you; you have to hold on for a while longer, no matter what!"

"No, I'm really tired. The world will keep turning even if someone is gone, let alone an old and stupid sinner like me!"

"Old Zhou, stop talking. I disagree. You're not old enough to retire yet. You're just feeling down right now. I believe you'll be able to get back on your feet soon."

How about this, you take a break for a while, consider it a vacation for yourself. Once you've rested, thought things through, and calmed down, we can talk about this again.

It's settled then!

You can't let yourself be defeated like this, you absolutely can't!

"Regarding your work lately, let some of the younger staff in the bureau fill in for a while. Who do you think would be suitable? Wang Tiejun? I remember you always praising him to me."

"No, he's not suitable," Zhou Zhengguo shook his head. "He's too upright, his personality is too distinct, and he's too easy for people to figure out. He's not suitable to take on this responsibility yet."

"Let's give Cao Yingying a try. She's grown very quickly lately, I think it's worth a shot."

"Alright, you still need to submit a report. After all, it's not appropriate for me to directly interfere in your personnel matters."

"Okay, I'll submit the report as soon as possible."

dong dong~

Someone knocked on the ward door again. When the door opened, 073, wearing a trench coat and brown sunglasses, stood in the doorway.

"Secretary, you guys chat, I'm leaving now." Zhou Zhengguo glanced at 073, then lowered his head and walked out the door.

"Old Zhou, if you don't have anything else to do, why don't you sit down and listen in?" Liu Yusheng said with a worried frown.

"No, I don't want to listen anymore. I'm tired, really tired. Goodbye..."

Zhou Zhengguo left, leaving behind an endless sense of desolation.

073 and Liu Yusheng stood at the door of the ward, watching Zhou Zhengguo's lonely figure disappear at the end of the corridor, before returning to the ward and closing the door.

"Did you catch him? Did you catch the gunman?" Liu Yusheng asked anxiously as soon as he closed the door.

"Unfortunately, no... We actually surrounded him, but he still took his own life," 073 said, taking a deep breath.

"What about An Xiaohai's family? Did they manage to evacuate successfully?"

"We've evacuated," 073 nodded, a smile even appearing on his face. "Last night, Xu Tianyou really gave us a surprise. I realized that we've been underestimating him all along."

Those two young people are really troublesome! Heh.

073 said with a wry smile.

"What exactly happened? Come, sit down, and tell me in detail, tell me from both sides in detail!"
