Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"Regarding his family, An Xiaohai and I agreed that the protective measures for his family would be removed between 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM on February 1st. This agreement has never changed, which means that An Xiaohai only gave Xu Tianyou those two hours."

But Xu Tianyou didn't play by the rules at all. An Xiaohai left home early on the morning of the 29th, and Xu Tianyou arrived right after him, and he was very well prepared.

The cars they drove were exactly the same as the ones An Xiaohai had used when he left, even the license plate numbers were identical.

It felt as if An Xiaohai's convoy had just driven out of the village and realized he had forgotten something, so he turned back to get it, while Xu Tianyou himself was impersonating An Xiaohai, and his acting was so lifelike!

It was barely dawn, and we couldn't see very clearly through the telescope; even our own people were fooled.

Xu Tianyou led his men into An Xiaohai's house, stayed for less than five minutes, and then left again. An Xiaohai's family even saw him off at the door.

In the following days, An Xiaohai's family rarely went out, but there was always movement at home. From a distance, his family members could be seen going in and out of the yard.

Later, when the operation began at Plum Blossom Mountain, An Xiaohai killed Tong Dapeng. The Caos assassins, who were lying in ambush near An Xiaohai's house, immediately took action. They quickly stormed into An Xiaohai's house, presumably with the aim of taking control of his family.

The observation posts I left there, having received my strict orders beforehand, could only watch helplessly.

Unexpectedly, after the Caos assassins stormed into An Xiaohai's house, a huge explosion occurred.

All four Caos assassins were killed in the explosion; none survived.

Afterwards, we carefully examined the traces at the scene and finally reconstructed the entire process.

An Xiaohai's family had already been switched and taken away by Xu Tianyou when he returned home pretending to be An Xiaohai. The people left in An Xiaohai's house were Xu Tianyou's men.

These individuals were carefully selected; their appearance and build are very similar to An Xiaohai's family members, making them difficult to distinguish unless one gets close.

These people did nothing at An Xiaohai's house for those three days except dig a hole in the living room. They must have been hiding in that hole when the explosion happened, and they evacuated immediately afterward.

We later found a large tape recorder and a cassette tape in the ruins of An Xiaohai's house. We used technical means to reconstruct a small section of the tape, which contained all the conversations of An Xiaohai's family members.

Xu Tianyou even suspected that someone was listening in. His men must have been playing these recordings at regular intervals during those three days to mislead their opponents.

"Isn't that amazing? If those four people who stormed into An Xiaohai's house really were all Caos killers, then this is Caos' biggest loss in nearly ten years."

"Phew..." Liu Yusheng sighed softly, "This is troublesome. This Xu Tianyou is a genuine drug lord. If things continue like this, he'll definitely become a major menace. We have to be careful!"

"Secretary, not necessarily," 073 said with a smile and shook his head. "According to the information we have, Xu Tianyou has hardly participated in the drug trafficking activities of the Haifoye organization. He should be a sharp knife in the Haifoye organization, specifically responsible for eliminating dissidents."

All the people Xu Tianyou killed were members of other drug trafficking organizations. More than 90% of Haifoye's fearsome reputation in Haixi Province can be attributed to the killings he committed.

But Xu Tianyou was always very kind to ordinary people, and he also helped several mountain villages in remote areas solve many problems, such as distributing food, building schools, repairing roads and bridges. He did a lot of similar things.

Moreover, he also funded the construction of an orphanage with quite good conditions; I suspect even An Xiaohai doesn't know this.

"From what you're saying, it sounds like you're defending him?"

073 took a deep breath: "Yes, I am indeed defending him. There are some things I cannot tell you yet, but I feel that this child's inner self is completely opposite to his outward appearance."

He didn't want to deal drugs, and even had a vague sense of hatred for drug dealers. He was extremely ruthless towards those drug dealers, and he didn't value money that much, I can guarantee that.

Considering all the circumstances, his motives for joining the Sea Buddha organization are quite subtle. We just need to wait a little longer and see how An Xiaohai treats the Sea Buddha organization, and we'll be able to confirm it.

"Yes, I understand what you're saying," Liu Yusheng nodded. "But no matter what, Xu Tianyou has no law enforcement authority, and I hope you can keep that in mind."

"The secretary's reminder is something I will keep in mind."

Secretary, I have a small idea regarding the upcoming arrangements. If we can implement this idea, I think it should give the mastermind behind the scenes a real scare.

However, this method is a bit out of line, and it may put a lot of pressure on the Party Secretary and Mayor Li Hong, so…”

"So you want to give me a heads-up and sound me out, right?" Liu Yusheng asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes," 073 nodded a little embarrassedly.

"Tell me what you think is best."

"Okay, that's how it is..."

073 whispered his plan to Liu Yusheng, whose expression was incredibly interesting after listening: "Isn't this a bit too much? The impact of this is too terrible. How could you have such an idea? Did you learn it from An Xiaohai?"

"Yes!" 073 smiled wryly: "I put myself in his shoes and came up with this according to his thought process. It's very much like his style. If we can handle it this way, I think it will have many benefits."

Liu Yusheng took a deep breath, frowned, and considered for a while before suddenly nodding: "Alright, let's do it that way! Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures!"

"You agreed?" This time it was 073's turn to be surprised. He never expected Liu Yusheng to agree so readily.

"Yes, I agreed."

I've received orders from my superiors, and I roughly know what kind of enemy you're dealing with. We shouldn't put ourselves under too much pressure when facing such an enemy, right?

Thank you for your understanding!

"You're welcome," Liu Yusheng sighed softly. "These past two days I've come to understand a principle: many things, without experiencing them firsthand, can never be fully comprehended in their terror."

When we read reports, we usually just see a cold, impersonal line: "Criminals used cruel methods and acted brutally." But what exactly does cruelty and brutality mean? Without experiencing it firsthand, it's really hard to imagine.

So go for it! Eliminate these people as soon as possible. As for enduring some pressure and suffering some criticism, it doesn't matter. Compared to what frontline police officers face every day, it's nothing.

"Then... let's do it this way. As for Mayor Li Hong..."

"Old Li is a bit difficult to deal with. He's been through a lot of stress lately... Never mind, you don't need to worry about him. I'll take care of calming him down!" Liu Yusheng said with a wry smile.

"Thank you, Secretary. I'm sorry to have troubled you. You truly have the courage to take responsibility!"

"Alright, stop flattering me. You guys can't do this. It's making me a little embarrassed. Let's save our energy for dealing with the enemy."

"Okay, I'll head back now. Secretary, please get some rest."

"Go ahead, I'll get them to issue an arrest warrant as soon as possible."

Juxianglou's largest private room

Peng Li sensed that Xie Dan's emotions had been very abnormal lately, so he set up two large tables and invited many of his brothers to come and have some fun.

Halfway through the meal, the atmosphere was indeed very lively, and Xie Dan seemed to be in much better condition. Just then, a news report came on the television next to them, instantly freezing the lively scene.

"Important news is about to be announced:"

Ministry of Public Security Wanted Notice No. XXXX: An Xiaohai, born in 1974 in Apojiao Village, Xiadong Town, Chuntian District, Shenhai City, was previously sentenced to three years in prison for manslaughter. After his release, An Xiaohai showed no remorse and joined the drug trafficking organization Flying Bird Gang, quickly becoming a key figure within the gang.

During the joint operation by the police and armed police the night before, An Xiaohai refused to surrender and, together with his men, engaged in a fierce gun battle with the police. An Xiaohai was seriously injured by the police officers during the gun battle.

However, on the way to the hospital for emergency treatment, An Xiaohai's accomplices attacked the convoy, resulting in the deaths of 12 police officers and serious injuries to two others. An Xiaohai was rescued by his accomplices.

The Haidong Provincial Public Security Department has requested the Ministry of Public Security to issue a nationwide arrest warrant for An Xiaohai.

An Xiaohai is an extremely dangerous person, with extremely cruel methods and extremely crazy behavior. If any citizen spots him, please call the police immediately and protect your own safety. Do not engage in any direct confrontation with him.

Below is footage of the crime scene captured by a state-of-the-art surveillance system installed in shops near the crime scene…

Immediately afterwards, the television played footage captured by surveillance cameras, showing An Xiaohai firing a submachine gun at Liu Cong and others who were kneeling on the ground.

In the footage, after An Xiaohai finished off Xiao Luo, he turned his head and glanced at the surveillance camera. The image then freezes and zooms in.

On TV, An Xiaohai's face was covered in blood, and his eyes were fierce, like a god of death.

"Holy crap! It's Hai Ge! It's Hai Ge! He's so damn handsome!..."

Snapped!

A young man jumped up excitedly and shouted, but before he could finish, a teacup was smashed hard at his feet.

Those who wanted to agree quickly shut their mouths when they saw the murderous look in Xie Dan's eyes.

Xie Dan's chest heaved violently, and it took her a while to regain her composure: "You guys eat, I'm not in the mood, I'm leaving."

After Xie Dan finished speaking, she immediately stood up and left the private room without looking back.

"You guys play by yourselves, A-Lai!" Peng Li was getting a little anxious and pulled Wang Bulai to chase after them.

Inside the safe house, Mai Xiaoyu removed the gauze from An Xiaohai's right chest, immediately frowning: "Alright, now it's really inflamed, are you satisfied?!"

An Xiaohai smiled slightly, his face a little red.

Mai Xiaoyu reached out and touched An Xiaohai's forehead, which was burning hot: "This is dangerous. What exactly are you planning?"

"I want to try and see if I can scam someone."

"Who is it?"

You'll find out tonight.
