Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Half an hour after the communication ended, An Xiaohai heard a faint motorcycle sound. A little while later, the light in the window of room 701 came on and went out after half an hour.

An Xiaohai waited quietly in the same spot for another half hour before leaving the observation point.

An Xiaohai didn't take the main road, but instead plunged into the nearby urban village.

"Little Tiger".

"exist."

"What types of observation points did you choose?"

"Three types of observation points."

"Where are Number 1 and the others?"

"They didn't get very close; they observed from a distance."

"Good, let's leave. Everyone, leave. There's no need to keep watch there."

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"I think something's wrong. Everyone, retreat immediately. Be careful, there are likely several Caos around here. After retreating, disperse and head to the Haixi Hotel. I'll book rooms there and meet you all."

"Okay, we'll do it right away!"

"Big Mango, you also need to find a way to get to the Haixi Hotel. Be very careful and don't let us know where we are."

"Received. You're all alone right now, so please be very careful."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

------

Half an hour later, in a room at the Haixi Hotel

An Xiaohai sat on the chair by the bed, frowning as he thought. He Xiaohu and Number 1 sat opposite him, while Number 7 stood guard on the perimeter.

Number 10 is still at the previous observation point, which is far from the clubhouse. Number 1 left him there.

A knock sounded at the door, and He Xiaohu went to open it. Mai Xiaoyu had arrived.

"Xiao Hai, what's wrong? What happened?" Mai Xiaoyu poured herself a glass of water and asked as she drank it.

"Nothing has happened yet, but the situation is complicated. Let me tell you the whole story from the beginning!" An Xiaohai recounted his meeting with Zhan Weiting and Mr. Kang in detail to the three of them.

After hearing An Xiaohai's explanation, Mai Xiaoyu also frowned deeply.

"Xiao Hai, I think this is very strange. They actually approached you to discuss this kind of thing based on just one meeting. Isn't that a bit too frivolous?"

"Yes, at first glance it does seem too far-fetched, but I think it's possible."

Why?

"Because two people endorsed Chen Maogan: one was Li Chenghang's wife, Su Meifang, and the other was Han Shasha."

"But these two people don't seem to have a very close relationship with Zhan Weiting and the others."

"Yes, you've hit the nail on the head," An Xiaohai smiled slightly. "On the surface, their relationship isn't close, but what if there's someone else secretly who's very close to both of them?"

"You mean..." Mai Xiaoyu finally widened her eyes.

"Yes, it's him, An Zhehao!" An Xiaohai took a deep breath: "You've already found out that the Malaysian Energy Group, where Su Meifang works, is likely connected with An Zhehao. The Malaysian Energy Group is also supporting that marine environmental observation center behind the scenes."

If this information is correct, then An Zhehao most likely knows about Chen Maogan helping Su Meifang with the window period.

Su Meifang was a very grateful woman, or perhaps she needed to win Chen Maogan's favor in this way, so she told many people about the help Chen Maogan had given her.

Since that's the case, the others in the Malaysian Energy Group must know about this, and An Zhehao must know that someone who can influence the Armed Police and get the Armed Police leaders to help with the window of opportunity must be of value to him.

However, Chen Maogan was too low-key, and An Zhehao couldn't go looking for him in a big way. As long as Chen Maogan didn't show up, An Zhehao couldn't get in touch with him.

This is one aspect.

Han Shasha is a well-known host at Shenhai City TV Station.

Shenhai City Television Station is a sub-provincial level unit, which is not low-level. Han Shasha has a very wide network of connections and knows many people. She herself has very high IQ and EQ. Such a person is very valuable to An Zhehao or the Abyss Organization.

"So you believe that Zhan Weiting's approach to Han Shasha was orchestrated by An Zhehao?"

"It's very possible that Zhan Weiting and Han Shasha had a secret affair, and An Zhehao took advantage of it after finding out. The way Han Shasha and Zhan Weiting interacted was very similar to their style."

Why?

"Han Shasha doesn't contact Zhan Weiting and the others in Shenhai City. Instead, she flies here to meet them from time to time, always alone. This is a way to cover her tracks."

Han Shasha is too famous in Shenhai City. If they directly contact Han Shasha in Shenhai City, the risk of exposure would be extremely high.

"You mean Han Shasha is likely a member of the Abyss Organization, or even An Zhehao's person?"

"I don't rule out that possibility, but I think it's unlikely."

Han Shasha told me a couple of days ago that she really needed someone to rely on, and I think what she said might not be entirely untrue.

We have already investigated Han Shasha's background. She came from a very ordinary background, and it is indeed very difficult for her to have achieved her current status.

If Han Shasha were An Zhehao's man, I would definitely have been exposed by now. But considering the current situation, I haven't been exposed. It's precisely because I haven't been exposed that Zhan Weiting and the others are testing me in this way.

This suggests that Han Shasha is most likely neither a member of the Abyss Organization nor An Zhehao; she probably just has some kind of shady deal with Zhan Weiting.

What is a "PY deal"?

"Uh... it's a shady deal done in private. That's not the point. The point is, I think Zhan Weiting is very likely an important pawn of the Abyss Organization, or An Zhehao."

"Why Zhan Weiting? What about Mr. Kang?"

"Because I felt that Zhan Weiting was testing me, that Mr. Kang, haha."

"You mean to say that between Zhan Weiting and that Mr. Kang, Zhan Weiting is actually the one in control?"

"Yes, I think that's very likely!"

I've dealt with their people far too many times! It's always the same: they put some nobody in the open while their truly important people stay hidden in the shadows.

This recipe, this taste... it's so familiar!

"You make a good point; that's definitely their style..."

"Okay, if that's the case, then it makes sense that they came to me and tested me. Chen Maogan is not someone who appeared out of thin air. He appeared a year ago and was noticed by them."

Chen Maogan was unfamiliar with them, but they were very familiar with Chen Maogan and had been waiting for him to appear.

Coincidentally, Kang Jiaxiang was arrested by us recently, so they can use this to test Chen Maogan.

"I understand. Then we should be keeping a close eye on Zhan Weiting. Why were we told to evacuate?"

"Because it's too dangerous, and this danger doesn't just refer to everyone's personal safety, if we continue to monitor it, we're very likely to be exposed."

I saw two people today, and both of them are very likely Caos!

The members of Caos appear very rarely, but Qin Tianfang has a Caos by his side, and this Caos once injured Captain Cao; Guo Xiangshui has a Caos by his side; Zhong Zhen has a Caos by his side; and Zhu Polong and Jiang Ting also have Caos by their side.

Everyone that Ahn Cheol-ho values ​​has a "Caos" around them.

Now, Caos has reappeared, and there are two of them at once. What does this mean?

"Two Caos?!"

"Yes, I'm almost certain that the woman in the kimono next to Mr. Kang is a Caos assassin, as is the one who followed us on the motorcycle."

The appearance of two Caos at once means either that Mr. Kang and Zhan Weiting each have one by their side, or that Zhan Weiting alone has two by his side!

More importantly, I sensed a very familiar feeling in all of the Caos I met.

I used to think that this familiar smell might be the smell of an assassin, and that's probably what assassins give off.

But now I don't think that way anymore, especially after I met Ahn Cheol-ho. I suddenly realized that the smell on these Caos is actually the same as Ahn Cheol-ho's—it's so similar!

"You mean to say that the Caos organization is controlled by Ahn Cheol-ho?"

"Yes, the Caos organization may not be controlled by Ahn Cheol-ho, but he certainly controls a lot of Caos assassins. Or to put it another way, he put a lot of people he trained into the Caos system."

Doesn't it seem strange to everyone? Is it reasonable for an international assassin organization to have its members so frequently appearing around these people? Is our country really suitable for assassins to survive?

"Yes, An Zhehao's actions have diverted our attention again. Many times, we would think that this is an international assassin organization causing trouble, and that the Abyss Organization might not be behind these assassins. But in reality, these assassins are all under An Zhehao's orders."

"Yes, that's it, that's why I told everyone to retreat immediately."

This opportunity is extremely important to us, and we cannot afford to make any mistakes.

Zhan Weiting and his gang have been operating here for a long time. I suspect they know all about the observation points near the club.

Fortunately, Xiaohu and his team chose the third type of observation point. If we had chosen the best type of observation point from the beginning, we might have already been exposed.

Now that they're about to start moving again, their nerves will be on edge, and if we continue to keep a close watch on them, we're likely to be exposed.

So let's just stop watching them and let them do what they want. An Zhehao is too sensitive. If he senses anything unusual or familiar, all our efforts will be wasted.

Anyway, they're the ones eager to test me now. We've already identified these people, so it doesn't make much difference whether we keep an eye on them or not.

"Xiao Hai, did you already suspect they were watching us? All this time, you and we've been putting on an act in the living room, just for them?"

"Yes, it was just an act for them," An Xiaohai took a deep breath. "Actually, at the beginning, I wasn't sure they were watching us the whole time. I was just going to go all out with the act, since it wouldn't hurt and I was just killing time anyway."

However, it turns out that our efforts were not in vain. The Cao who followed Zhou Xun back must have had an observation point in the Xingfuyuan community.

Just now, as soon as you finished your part, Cao came back.

"They have an observation point in Xingfuyuan residential area? That doesn't make sense! I've already secretly checked every household in Xingfuyuan and haven't found anyone suspicious."

"That's because this observation point has existed for a long time."

"It has existed for a long time?"

"Yes, this observation point wasn't specifically targeting us. They were using it to observe us, it was just a side effect."

"I understand now. Their observation point here is most likely used to observe Li Chenghang and his wife!"

"You've forgotten one person."

"Yes, and there's also Han Shasha!"

"Yes, I think that must be the truth."

"My God, that was close!"

"That was really dangerous! Luckily, we went all out on the act!"

Silence fell over the room.

"So what should we do next?" Mai Xiaoyu asked after a while.

"What do we do next?... " An Xiaohai pursed his lips: "Caos's claws are too sharp. Let's dig a hole for him and chop off those claws first!"
