Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Twenty minutes later, An Xiaohai's car caught up with the car carrying Ding Ping and Xu Zhijie. The car stopped by the roadside, and the driver got out and jogged into a convenience store.

"Mr. Chen, should I have Xiao Hu go back and keep an eye on things?" Mai Xiaoyu's voice came through the earpiece.

"No need, just keep an eye on them."

An Xiaohai ended the call, and Mai Xiaoyu on the motorcycle paused for a moment, then frowned and began to think.

The driver quickly ran back from the convenience store, carrying a large plastic bag filled with instant food. Then, the car started moving again, with An Xiaohai following at a distance.

About 10 minutes later, the car stopped next to the Nancheng Railway Station. A young man and woman in professional attire immediately stepped forward and opened the car door. Ding Ping and Xu Zhijie got out of the car.

After exchanging a few words with Ding Ping, the man and woman led the two towards the train station. Xu Zhijie returned to the car, started the engine, drove around the train station, and then headed back the way they had come.

As Xu Zhijie's car gradually disappeared into the traffic, An Xiaohai seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief.

"What do we do now?" Mai Xiaoyu asked again.

"I'll let the Wild Man and the others go back first. You, me, Little Tiger, and Number 1 will continue to stay with Ding Ping."

After a long silence in the earpiece, Mai Xiaoyu spoke again: "How about I go with Xiaohu and the others, and you go back with Yeren and the others?"

"No, I have to go, otherwise it's no use."

There was another long silence.

"I can't stop you, but there are two things you must listen to me on."

"you say."

"First, I must report your movements to 073. Second, you must wear a bulletproof vest."

"it is good."

Without saying a word, An Xiaohai quickly changed into a bulletproof vest in the car. Fortunately, the weather was still quite cold, and the pedestrians on the street were all dressed very warmly, so the bulletproof vest was not conspicuous under their coats.

An Xiaohai put on a hat, mask, and sunglasses, gave a few more instructions to Yeren and the others, then quickly got out of the car, pulled up his collar, and joined the crowd in the train station square.

After chasing for a while, An Xiaohai saw Number 10 enter the waiting hall with Ding Ping and the others. An Xiaohai slowed down and entered the waiting hall from another entrance.

"Number 7, report your location," An Xiaohai found a corner, lit a cigarette, and started smoking, his peripheral vision following Ding Ping and the others.

"I'm queuing in the ticket hall, ready to buy a ticket at any time."

"Okay, Number 1, report your location."

"I'm checking for suspicious individuals on the second floor. I can see the target, and I can see you too."

"Okay, number 10."

"I have entered the platform and am checking for suspicious persons inside the station."

"Good, just be careful not to expose yourself."

"Xiao Hu, you can adapt to the situation and choose your own observation locations and tracking methods. You don't need to report to me."

"Received, understood!"

At this moment, Mai Xiaoyu ran up to An Xiaohai in her high heels. She had already changed her clothes and made a lot of makeup on her face. Now she looked like an ordinary-looking office worker.

Mai Xiaoyu respectfully handed a document to An Xiaohai, which to outsiders looked like a secretary handing over information compiled for her boss.

"Where should we buy our tickets?" Mai Xiaoyu asked in a low voice.

An Xiaohai glanced at the train information display board: "Buy tickets for all trains running within the next two hours."

"Buying a ticket like this is likely to attract the attention of the ticket seller, who might think that number 7 is a scalper, which could easily cause unnecessary trouble."

"Then reveal your identity!"

Mai Xiaoyu raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, then gave the order to No. 7 to buy tickets, and then stood next to An Xiaohai and began to ponder.

Number 7 acted quickly. Ten minutes later, he took the opportunity of coming over for a smoke to quickly stuff a thick stack of train tickets into An Xiaohai's hands.

Attention passengers! Attention passengers!

Train 311, originating from this station and bound for Shanghai, will depart soon. Passengers who have purchased tickets for train 311, please have your tickets checked and proceed to the station.

An announcement came over the loudspeaker, and a long queue quickly formed at the ticket gate. The man and woman next to Ding Ping also began to pack their things.

An Xiaohai threw away his cigarette butt and slowly walked over with Mai Xiaoyu to stand at the end of the ticket check line. There were many passengers on this train, and soon more than twenty people lined up behind them.

Ding Ping remained motionless, and An Xiaohai didn't glance in that direction again; he simply kept his head down and silently waited in line. Only when the ticket line was almost finished did Ding Ping stand up and lead the two of them towards the ticket gate.

Passengers had already started boarding the train beside the railway. An Xiaohai found two sleeper tickets for train No. 311 and led Mai Xiaoyu into the sleeper carriage.

这趟车的卧铺只有三节车厢，安小海和麦晓喻上了第1节；1号上了第2节；7号上了第3节；10号立即出了站，返回湖山仙居继续盯徐崇华。

Looking at the chaotic carriage, Mai Xiaoyu frowned deeply. The environment was far too complicated, and if any accident were to occur, the consequences would be unpredictable.

An Xiaohai seemed completely oblivious to all of this. He found his bunk, took off his shoes, lay down, and closed his eyes to rest. Mai Xiaoyu had no choice but to sit down in the bunk next to him.

At that moment, a report came through the earpiece from Number 1. Coincidentally, Ding Ping had also boarded the first sleeper car and was likely sitting near the car's entrance.

The noise in the carriage lasted for nearly half an hour, and only gradually quieted down after the train left the southern city area.

It was just around noon, and Mai Xiaoyu took the opportunity while eating instant noodles to walk around the entrance and exit of the carriage and confirm the location of Ding Ping and the others.

Only the three of them were sitting in that partition; they must have bought tickets for all four berths.

"Mr. Chen, the two people with the target are not ordinary people. They are very likely assassins, the really skilled kind, especially that woman. I don't think I'm a match for her."

An Xiaohai opened his eyes, looked at Mai Xiaoyu and smiled slightly: "So there are people you can't beat... Don't worry, someone will deal with them. Don't go scouting anymore, get a good night's sleep and recharge."

After An Xiaohai finished speaking, he closed his eyes again.

Mai Xiaoyu was slightly taken aback. An Xiaohai was becoming increasingly abnormal at this moment.

Mai Xiaoyu rested for half an hour, but she couldn't calm down. So she took the opportunity of going to the toilet to report the situation to 073.

------

Security Department, Deep Sea City Temporary Command

After listening to Mai Xiaoyu's report, both 073 and 027 fell into deep thought. After a long while, 027 finally let out a long sigh and turned its gaze back to the floor plan of Zhongzhen Technology Petrochemical Industrial Zone.

"Let Mai Xiaoyu obey An Xiaohai's orders."

"Senior!" 073 finally changed his expression.

"These two, father and son, are practically fighting openly now. Since they don't want us involved, let's respect their choice."

"But this is too dangerous. Xiao Hai can't win alone!"

"That's not necessarily true!" 027 looked up at 073: "When has he ever done anything that was well-received? But he always wins, and I believe this time will be no exception."

"But……"

"No buts, you're just worried and making a fuss."

I know that after these past few years, you've come to see this child as one of our own.

You're the kind of person who's easily blinded by emotions. If you could always stay calm, Ahn Cheol-ho might have fallen for you long ago, and none of this would have happened today.

I know you really want to help him and fight alongside him, but this time, we don't have that opportunity.

An Xiaohai understood this, which is why he chose to end it all this way. I can understand his actions; it was the safest way.

If he succeeds, it means Ahn Cheol-ho has completely failed, and we can slowly clean up the mess. Without Ahn Cheol-ho, everything he has orchestrated will no longer pose such a great threat.

This is the best possible outcome.

If we forcefully intervene, and Ahn Cheol-ho finds out, he might abandon everything, flee immediately, and then find a dark corner to lie low and plot a new scheme.

Then all of this would be for nothing.

An Zhehao's men must already be on the move. Once our people get moving and set up surveillance on-site, An Zhehao will definitely not show up, and An Xiaohai's plan will fall through.

"But what if..."

"The chances of something unexpected happening are indeed very high. An Xiaohai is in danger of losing his life at any time. What else can we do? This is the fastest way to lure him out."

An Xiaohai... He is indeed a very good kid. He wants to find this demon as soon as possible, to end all of this as soon as possible, and to reunite with his family. That is why he chose this method.

Now that he has made his choice, we should respect him and trust him.

This is such a rare opportunity, we shouldn't ruin it.

Hopefully, Mai Xiaoyu and the others can react quickly!

073's chest heaved violently, taking a while to regain his composure: "Well, hopefully they'll react quickly!"

After saying that, 073 turned and walked out.

"where you go?"

"I'm feeling a bit unsettled. I'll go check out the observation point."

073 left in a hurry. 027 put down his pen, took off his reading glasses, shook his head, and smiled bitterly: "I still can't let go..."

------

On train 311.

Night had fallen, and most of the train lights were off, making the carriage even quieter. Throughout the journey, An Xiaohai only got up to eat a bowl of instant noodles; he spent the rest of the time reclining on his berth with his eyes closed.

After communicating with 073, Mai Xiaoyu calmed down a lot and forced herself to enter a state of rest and recuperation.

Although Mai Xiaoyu didn't understand what had happened, she could tell that An Xiaohai wasn't resting with his eyes closed, but preparing for battle.

As it approached 23 p.m., the train gradually slowed down, and the darkness outside the window was dispelled considerably, revealing the massive city of Haizhou ahead.

Some passengers who were getting off at Haizhou had already started packing their belongings.

An Xiaohai suddenly opened his eyes, took out the pistol from his pocket and examined it carefully, then left his bunk and sat on a temporary seat by the aisle.

An Xiaohai appeared to be looking at the scenery outside the window, but in reality, his attention was entirely focused on the partition at the exit.

There were shadows moving around, it seemed that Ding Ping and the others were also preparing to get off the bus.
