Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"Okay, Secretary," 073 said with a smile as he sat down. The more he interacted with Secretary Liu Yusheng, the more 073 gradually discovered that Secretary Liu, who seemed very serious and earnest, also had a sense of curiosity.

"Secretary, which side should I talk about first?"

"Let's talk about Plum Blossom Mountain first. Tell me in detail what exactly happened."

When Murong Qian contacted me before, it wasn't convenient for us to talk much on the phone. Later, the mission wasn't completed, and I didn't want to inquire further. Now, surely I should know the whole story?

Of course, you can skip over anything that requires confidentiality.

"Okay, there's not much I need to keep secret from you. Let me explain in detail."

073 took a deep breath and organized his thoughts: "An Xiaohai's entire plan is as follows:"

He once came into contact with an important member of the Flying Bird Gang named Li Maocai, codenamed Seagull. Although Li Maocai had limited abilities, he was a senior member of the Flying Bird Gang.

Later, the Flying Bird Gang was decimated by An Xiaohai. By the time An Xiaohai went abroad to cause trouble, the Flying Bird Gang had already lost most of its members. They had no choice but to send Li Maocai to contact An Xiaohai.

During this process, An Xiaohai created many opportunities for Li Maocai to call his superior for instructions. Taking advantage of these opportunities, An Xiaohai cleverly obtained the two phone numbers that Li Maocai dialed.

An Xiaohai immediately found a way to send us the two phone numbers so we could trace their origin, but we couldn't find them. Both numbers were registered with a telecommunications company in Country M and were connected to a satellite from Country M.

If we use other means, or even diplomatic means, to forcibly investigate, we might alert the enemy.

So An Xiaohai devised this trap, trying to gather all the important and suspicious people together, and then artificially create an extremely tense situation so that he could find the two people holding the phones through these two phones.

The purpose of this trap is to uproot the Flying Bird Gang and mislead the powerful enemy hiding behind it.

He first found Captain Zhou and asked him to secretly prepare a sharpshooter whose role was to shoot at An Xiaohai when he fired at you.

This makes perfect sense. You are the Party Secretary of Shenhai City. An Xiaohai shot at you, and the sniper shot and killed him. It's reasonable.

However, the sniper's real target wasn't him, but the Buddha-face necklace around his neck.

"Why do you have to do this?"

"Because that Buddha-face necklace is a locator, and the one who controls this locator is very likely the powerful enemy hiding behind it all."

"I see, I understand now!"

This way, that person would assume the locator was accidentally shot down by a sniper, and he would be very confused and unsure of An Xiaohai's true intentions!

"Yes, I analyzed it with An Xiaohai. The real controller behind the Flying Bird Gang is very likely this person. Therefore, the Flying Bird Gang's actions against An Xiaohai are likely directly instructed by this person."

They approached An Xiaohai because they wanted to entrust him with the entire drug trade in Haidong Province.

"That doesn't make sense. Didn't An Xiaohai kill a lot of people from the Flying Bird Gang? Shouldn't they be his enemies?"

"Well... the logic here is a bit complicated."

First of all, Secretary, please don't think of these vicious criminals with the mindset of a normal person. They don't care about human life at all; they only care about their own lives.

In the eyes of that person and the higher-ups of the Flying Bird Gang, all the people under them were just tools. If a tool broke, they would simply replace or throw it away. It wouldn't escalate to the point of hatred unless their interests were threatened.

Moreover, they were more than happy for An Xiaohai to wipe out his old gang. They had already planned to abandon their previous drug business and usher in a new era for methamphetamine.

The original group of people had been doing this for a long time, so their appetites had grown and their demands had increased. Bringing this group into the meth era would not be worthwhile.

But cutting ties with them directly is not feasible either. These people know a lot of the Flying Bird Gang's secrets. Even if they keep quiet, they will become competitors for new types of drugs in the future. It would be better to kill them all.

I suspect that when An Xiaohai was dealing with the Flying Bird Gang, that person and the gang's higher-ups not only didn't stop him, but may have even been behind the scenes helping him.

"So that's how it is... I understand a little now..." Liu Yusheng nodded slightly and said, "An Xiaohai slaughtered a large number of the original members of the Flying Bird Gang, which not only helped them solve their problem, but also completed their test of him."

At the same time, An Xiaohai has also become the de facto controller of the underground world of our Deep Sea City, which makes things even more perfect, perfectly meeting the expectations of the Flying Bird Gang's higher-ups and that person.

So they started contacting him directly, wanting him to build a brand new methamphetamine network.

To their surprise, An Xiaohai joined forces with us and wiped out their unreleased New World!

If things continue to develop this way, An Xiaohai will have completely broken ties with that person, and the two will become truly irreconcilable enemies.

That person will also be absolutely wary of An Xiaohai, making it even more difficult for An Xiaohai to find him and deal with him.

However, An Xiaohai shot me, then led people from Haixi Province to shoot and kill a large number of police officers, and finally disappeared completely. All of this happened in full view of everyone, which made his stance ambiguous once again.

"Yes, if that person has enough information, and considering An Xiaohai's series of actions, he might very well come to this conclusion:"

An Xiaohai is a vengeful and ruthless person who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals;

His refusal to accept the drug kingdom and his determination to wipe out the Flying Bird Gang stemmed entirely from hatred, not from his alignment with us. He was merely using our power.

In the process, An Xiaohai also amassed a large fortune and recruited a group of underworld talents, gradually becoming more powerful.

Therefore, after An Xiaohai settled his score with the Flying Bird Gang, he immediately turned against us completely, broke through the encirclement, and from then on, his life was free and unrestrained!

"I understand. That's why he went to such lengths to create an accident, to have the sniper destroy the locator on his chest, instead of just throwing it away."

"Yes, if he throws away the locator directly, it means he has discovered everything, discovered that person's existence, and that person will no longer trust him."

But now, everything has become an accident.

It was our sniper who accidentally destroyed the locator when he shot him, and An Xiaohai only barely survived because of the necklace's obstruction, which disrupted that person's judgment.

That person is very smart, so of course he will have doubts, but it doesn't matter. As long as he can't be completely sure, that's fine. In fact, it's better this way. This way, there is a possibility that An Xiaohai and that person can continue to have contact.

That person was a very dangerous person, but at the same time he was also very arrogant.

An Xiaohai said, "He must be incredibly itchy-hearted right now, eager to find out the whole truth. If he gets too anxious, he might just slip up!"

"I understand. If I were that dangerous person, I would also be very eager to find An Xiaohai."

From now on, as long as An Xiaohai shows his presence from time to time, that person will likely pounce on him, and that way we might be able to catch him, right?

"Yes, but I don't think it will be that easy. It's an extreme psychological tug-of-war. Before, An Xiaohai was always at a complete disadvantage, but now the situation has reversed, and An Xiaohai has finally regained the initiative."

Now, An Xiaohai is the hunter lurking in the shadows.

"Oh my god, this is so complicated... No wonder you said you wanted to issue a nationwide warrant for An Xiaohai's arrest immediately; it turns out you were adding fuel to the fire!"

"Yes, this makes the whole thing more credible and more likely to mislead the enemy."

"But a nationwide manhunt is no joke, and we can't explain the situation to everyone; that would put An Xiaohai in great danger!"

"Don't worry, we will protect him."

"That's good! ...I have another question. What if Tong Dapeng hadn't come forward last night? Or what if his phone had been switched off?"

Let me eliminate them for you one by one.

The chances of Tong Dapeng turning off his phone are slim. First, he didn't expect the operation to be aimed at him; second, Director Zhou and Wang Tiejun have been keeping a close eye on him, and he wouldn't dare turn off his phone under the watchful eyes of these two experienced police officers.

Third, he is the leader of the Flying Bird Gang, and the number of people who know his phone number must be extremely limited. Moreover, there should be rules governing their conversations. Under normal circumstances, no one would call him casually, otherwise he would have been exposed long ago.

Fourth, even if he has turned off his phone, when he sees a large group of police officers heading towards the First Prison, he will realize the danger. At this point, he only has three choices: abandon Zhong Zhen, warn Zhong Zhen, or run away immediately.

After analysis, we believe that he is most likely to try to warn Chung-chen. First, he is unsure whether Chung-chen will betray him after being arrested. Second, their hard work over the years is hidden there, and he may not be willing to give it up. Third, he cannot explain it to that person.

Therefore, Tong Dapeng's most likely option was to turn on the satellite phone and try to find an opportunity to notify Zhong Zhen, but unfortunately, he did not find such an opportunity.

Even if Tong Dapeng chose to give up on Zhong Zhen and didn't step forward, it wouldn't be a problem.

Do you remember what Murong Qian discussed with you? If nothing unexpected happened, you would stand up and demand the arrest of An Xiaohai, and he would then take you hostage;

On the run, An Xiaohai attacks you, the sniper attacks him, and in the end, the result is the same; Tong Dapeng will still be the best on-site commentator.

"Oh yeah, I've already forgotten about that... What about the gunman from yesterday? What happened? Was he sent by the person behind it to keep an eye on An Xiaohai?"

"No, we don't think so. After analysis, we think that the gunman was probably targeting Zhong Zhen, or maybe Tong Dapeng."

Because only these two people could possibly know some of the secrets of the person behind it all, and if they were arrested, they would likely be silenced by the gunman.

We estimate that after the gunman saw the situation at the warehouse entrance, he reported it to the man, who then immediately gave him instructions to turn his gun on An Xiaohai.

To be honest, that was extremely dangerous!

If Qi Guoliang hadn't fired first, hitting the locator and causing An Xiaohai's body to shift, that shot probably wouldn't have landed on his right chest near his shoulder!

"Phew~" Liu Yusheng breathed a sigh of relief: "That was close! That was really dangerous!"

"Yes, that person is indeed a very dangerous enemy!"

"Since he's already chosen to kill, won't all of An Xiaohai's subsequent plans be wasted?"

"No," 073 smiled slightly: "An Xiaohai said that the smarter a person is, the easier it is for them to make connections."

The situation was urgent at the time, and the man gave the order based on his intuition to have the gunman kill An Xiaohai. But afterward, if he thought about it carefully, he might change his mind.

After some time, if An Xiaohai gives him some more clues and other reasons, and he analyzes them all together, he might very well fall for it.

"This..." Liu Yusheng frowned and thought for a long time before finally giving up. There were many things that 073 hadn't explained clearly, and he was missing too much information to fully understand the relationships involved.

"Have you found out the gunman's identity? Who is he?"

"The gunman should be a member of an assassin organization called Caos. We originally thought that this Caos assassin organization was related to someone else, but now it seems that's not the case."

The person truly closely connected to the Caos assassin organization is most likely that dangerous individual.

"Alright, I think I understand. Let's leave this matter here. What's the situation with An Xiaohai's family?"

"Hehe, it's just as exciting over there!" 073 said with a smile.
