Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"Cute is cute, but cuteness can't put food on the table..." An Xiaohai sighed and said, "President Zhao is a good person, and cooperating with him shouldn't be difficult for you, but he has a fatal flaw."

"What's the problem?"

"His foundation is too shallow. He is more like a scapegoat. He was promoted to be a scapegoat when Fuwang Grain and Oil was about to fail."

If someone like that really succeeds in making Fuwang Grain and Oil a success, he will be kicked out immediately. He doesn't even need to succeed; as soon as he shows any signs of success, he will be asked to leave.

Picking peaches is so easy, but growing them is so difficult!

This is the key reason why he can't attract investment. The grain and oil industry is a very good industry; everyone is smart enough to see that clearly. Who would want to jump into such a huge pit?

"So what do you plan to do?"

"Don't worry, there's always a way," An Xiaohai smiled slightly, then bent down and kicked a small pebble far away.

"You're at it again!" Mai Xiaoyu said with a sly look at An Xiaohai.

"I've started again?...Started with what?" An Xiaohai asked in astonishment.

"Starting to play coy and mysterious, huh! Every time I see that smug look on your face, I just want to stab you!"

"Wow, you woman, you're so malicious!"

"Say that again and see if I don't poke you!"

"Fine, I give up. I was wrong, I apologize!"

"Hmph! That's more like it. Let's hurry up and go. You haven't slept in a long time, go back to sleep!"

"Please, can you not mention this? We're almost there, and you have to bring it up now. I'm about to give up!"

"Then you can lie here. Chen Xun will carry you upstairs when he comes back in a while."

"You're so heartless!"

"Save your breath and shut up!"

An Xiaohai and Mai Xiaoyu bickered back and forth as they slowly walked through the neighborhood towards their home, seemingly unaware that several pairs of eyes were watching them in the darkness.

Han Shasha lowered the curtain in her hand.

Just as Zhan Weiting left, Han Shasha watched his car drive away from the underground parking garage exit and turn onto the main road at the entrance of the residential area. At that moment, Zhou Xun arrived in her car and dropped off An Xiaohai and Mai Xiaoyu.

An Xiaohai and Mai Xiaoyu walked and chatted in the neighborhood, while Han Shasha kept her eyes on them.

To outsiders, An Xiaohai and Mai Xiaoyu's behavior seemed very ambiguous, but Han Shasha didn't think so. Her intuition, which she had developed over the years, told her that the relationship between An Xiaohai and Mai Xiaoyu was not romantic, but more like that of siblings.

Han Shasha said enviously, "If only I had a younger brother as capable as him..."

------

In a room in a building opposite Han Shasha, a man who was completely covered up took off his headphones, walked to the window in the dark, and adjusted a small device placed on the window.

This is a highly sensitive directional radio receiver. The conversation between An Xiaohai and Mai Xiaoyu was picked up by this receiver. Although the effect wasn't great, it was very clear.

The man parted the curtains a crack, peered outside to check for any unusual activity, and then returned to the table to turn on a blackout lamp. He then took out a small notebook and began drawing one strange symbol after another.

If An Xiaohai were present, he would certainly have understood the meaning behind these symbols: the male and female targets were behaving intimately, and their relationship needed to be reassessed…

He Xiaohu put down the binoculars and crawled into the sleeping bag next to him.

"So tiring! I never imagined protecting An Xiaohai in secret would be this exhausting! ...Doesn't this guy ever need a break?..." He Xiaohu looked at the starry sky and couldn't help but smile wryly.

"But I heard from Sister Xiaoyu that An Xiaohai is going to dig a hole for Caos this time."

I can't wait! These guys are too arrogant, daring to come here and cause trouble. This time, we'll definitely teach them a lesson!

I have to admit, An Xiaohai is really amazing... It's a pity I wasn't involved in those overseas matches...

Now it's my turn, right? ...I'll definitely make a lasting impression on you all! Ha!

------

An Xiaohai, who was already sitting in his room, did not rest. Instead, with great perseverance, he turned on his computer and logged into the Honggang Xinghe Technology Forum.

An Xiaohai first browsed through the new posts generated today, and then did the same thing as last time. Before he knew it, the alarm clock on the table had already pointed to 4 a.m.

An Xiaohai closed his laptop, struggled to climb into bed, and fell into a deep sleep the moment his head touched the pillow.

In his sleep, An Xiaohai tried hard to get onto that familiar beach.

But it was no use. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get back there. That space seemed to have vanished suddenly and could never be found again...

Meanwhile, on a beach in Country T near the Damansa Domain

Xu Tianyou finished bandaging the pimp's wound and glared at him fiercely: "Didn't I warn you? These guys are dangerous! Finish them off when you see a corpse! What were you doing running up there?"

"Boss, I saw he was shot in the chest, I thought he was dead!..." The pimp was extremely aggrieved. Who knew this guy was so resilient? Not only was he stabbed for no reason, but he also got scolded by the boss. He was really at a loss!

"Boss, stop cursing the pimp. He should have learned his lesson this time... These kids are still too young. If only the Wild Man were here!" Hongpao sighed.

"No, we can't let the savages come over. If they come, Xiao Hai will be all alone. No, we can't let them come!" Xu Tianyou said, frowning.

"Xiao Hai is surrounded by our people..." Pan Zhuangzhuang muttered softly.

"Your people? Forget it!" Xu Tianyou rolled his eyes at Pan Zhuangzhuang: "You'd be doomed if you relied on just your people! Who would do the dirty work? Think about it, when has Xiao Hai ever gone on an operation without us?"

Stop thinking nonsense, we can't touch the savages!

Damn it, this is really weird. How did these people manage to target us? If Aunt Xiru hadn't happened to discover the traces they left behind, we might have actually fallen for their trick!

No, this can't go on. We can't stop them by just guarding against it. We have to find a way to really screw them over!

I refuse to believe I can't take them down with all this money in my hands!

Xu Tianyou spoke through gritted teeth.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say!" Pan Zhuangzhuang nodded, picked up a shovel, and went to dig a hole. The four corpses couldn't just be left on the beach.

"Zhuangzhuang, old man, stop digging the hole. Let them do it. Go to Chunpeng instead."

"You mean... we can contact Xiaohai now?"

"Yes, I think it's about time. My sister-in-law and the others should be here in my territory by now. Let's stay here and have some fun with them!"

If I don't make them bleed this time, I'm not a Xu!

……

"You shouldn't have the surname Xu in the first place..." Pan Zhuangzhuang silently rolled his eyes in his mind: "Time?"

"Let's set the date for seven days from now. Tell Xiaohai about this; I think he'll definitely be able to use it. That guy's as cunning as a dog!"

"...

Okay, I'll go right away.

"Go ahead, be careful on the road, we'll wait for you at point D."

"OK."

Pan Zhuangzhuang straightened his clothes and prepared to leave. Just then, An Xiaohai's grandfather slowly walked along the beach carrying a Mosin-Nagant rifle.

"Grandpa! You're amazing! One shot, one kill, every bullet hits its mark! It's incredible!"

Xu Tianyou gave his grandfather a thumbs up. Xu Tianyou never dreamed that his grandfather, An Xiaohai, who usually seemed honest and unassuming, was actually a sharpshooter!

The problem is that the older generation is only used to using the Mosin-Nagant, so this gun is really hard to get.

"Hehe, it's nothing," Grandpa waved his hand. "These brats, they weren't even born when we were doing our big military training to defend our coastal defenses, hehe!"

"Great! Awesome! Let's go have a smoke and relax." Xu Tianyou gave his grandfather a thumbs up again, and the two left arm in arm.

Pan Zhuangzhuang shook his head speechlessly, found the direction of Chunpeng, and set off on his journey alone.

They've all been corrupted!
