Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Deducing the enemy's thoughts and actions is a very challenging task. It requires deriving the truth from countless assumptions, and in this process, the enemy's personality and thought patterns must also be taken into account.

There are often few shortcuts to this kind of analysis and deduction. In most cases, you have to use exhaustive methods to list all possibilities and then eliminate them one by one.

When performing the simulation, you must remember every result; if you make a mistake in remembering it, the entire simulation may collapse.

Therefore, most people must use paper and pen to record their work when doing similar tasks, but An Xiaohai only mentally rehearses the entire process, making him look like he is in a daze.

This was what Mai Xiaoyu was most curious about. Whenever An Xiaohai started to think, Mai Xiaoyu would often observe him out of curiosity.

"Don't always look at me like that. If you have any questions, you can just ask."

"Tch! How would you know I'm looking at you if you weren't looking at me?"

"Is there even a need to look? You're shaking your head like a groundhog!"

……

"No respect for elders!"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

"snort!"

"Secretary Xiaoyu, I think your logic and judgment are no worse than mine, so why do I rarely see you deducing the enemy's behavior?"

"Your intuition is very accurate!" Mai Xiaoyu nodded proudly: "My logical reasoning score was the best in my year, but later, on 073's advice, I deliberately reduced this behavior."

Why?

"Because I joined the action team! Logical deduction is the main task of the intelligence analysis team."

Our team often encounters danger during missions. Many times we need to make judgments in a very short time. If we make a wrong judgment or hesitate, we may be injured or even killed.

Therefore, in most cases, our intuition is more important than our analytical skills.

"Why don't you join the intelligence analysis team?"

"Because I prefer the action team. The intelligence analysis team would be bored to death staying at headquarters all day."

No, I think you're lying.

Why do you think I'm lying?

"intuition."

"..."

An Xiaohai exhaled and looked out the car window. The gray city looked like a giant beast rushing towards him.

"This doesn't seem to be the way back."

"Yes, this isn't the way back, it's the way to the airport."

"Why are we going to the airport?"

"To pick someone up."

"Pick someone up? Pick up who?"

"The person you wanted to pick up, didn't you ask the security department to find a few comrades who look like Middle Easterners? They've come all this way, shouldn't we go and pick them up?"

"..."

------

The process of picking them up went very smoothly, and the security department made very meticulous arrangements. An Xiaohai and his team met the two comrades from Tianshan in the international arrivals hall.

It must be said that Director Xu is very good at picking people; one of the two comrades is older, and the other is younger.

The older one was about 50 years old, rather thin, with a long beard, and looked very wise. His overall image was surprisingly similar to that of the world-famous rich second-generation.

The younger one was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He was burly and had a fierce look in his eyes when he opened and closed them. He was clearly not a good person.

An Xiaohai was extremely satisfied and immediately renamed the two men: the older one was named Alahan, and the younger one was named Ahmed.

Alahan and Ahmed had already learned the general situation before they arrived, and An Xiaohai and Mai Xiaoyu added some details on their way back.

Alahan and Ahmed also shared some information about themselves.

An Xiaohai then realized that these two were not simple people either.

Alahan and Ahmed were both transferred from the western border region, which is far more dangerous and complex than this region. No wonder Ahmed's eyes are so aggressive.

That's great! An Xiaohai even regretted not transferring such a comrade over sooner.

Back at their home in Happiness Garden, Alahan and Ahmed, with Mai Xiaoyu's help, underwent some modifications. When the two appeared before An Xiaohai in their Arabian robes, An Xiaohai was somewhat dazed.

I wonder what these two will think when they appear in front of Zhan Weiting and his group?

Mai Xiaoyu then called two young comrades from the security department. Except for Alahan and Ahmed, everyone else had changed into black suits.

Now they're even more imposing, kind of like an international criminal organization.

An Xiaohai simply called Yeren again, asking him to bring two brothers from the mountain stronghold over as soon as possible. Once these people arrived, Zhan Weiting's gang would probably not dare to utter a sound in front of them.

At 8 p.m., the time An Xiaohai had arranged to meet Zhan Weiting, the car Zhan Weiting sent was already waiting at the entrance of the residential area at 7:30 p.m.

An Xiaohai didn't take their car; there were too many people and it was too crowded. He had Zhou Xun drive her own car and followed Zhan Weiting's car to the club.

An Xiaohai led the group into the club, and the lobby immediately became so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Especially when Alahan and Ahmed appeared in front of Zhan Weiting and Kang Lianhai, the two guys' faces turned green.

Zhan Weiting and Kang Lianhai led An Xiaohai and Mai Xiaoyu to the private room. Their bodyguards, looking somewhat flustered, gave up their seats for Alahan and the others, while they kept their distance, afraid of causing any misunderstanding.

An Xiaohai and Mai Xiaoyu exchanged a glance. This whole ordeal was actually worthwhile; at least the arrogance of Zhan Weiting and his gang had been completely suppressed.

Upon entering the private room, Zhan Weiting and Kang Lianhai's attitude became noticeably more submissive.

"Mr. Chen, this is the final payment. Please check it." Zhan Weiting was making tea when Kang Lianhai pushed four suitcases out from the inner room and placed them in front of An Xiaohai.

"No need to order, I trust you two!" An Xiaohai said with a smile, and Mai Xiaoyu put the four suitcases aside.

"Mr. Chen, now that we've started working together, I'll skip the formalities and just tell you what your thoughts are."

An Xiaohai took a light breath and said, "My idea is very simple. I will make some arrangements to find a reason to send Kang Jiaxiang to the provincial bureau for detention."

It's nearly a three-hour drive from Shenhai City to Haizhou City. You can make your move at any point along the way. I will provide you with the specific escort route one day in advance.

"Moving it a day earlier? Won't that be too rushed?" Zhan Weiting was startled.

"I don't think it's a big deal," An Xiaohai said with a smile and shook his head. "I can confirm the approximate time with you now, and you can start preparing immediately. The only thing left is the location to carry out the operation, which I don't think is a difficult thing."

Moreover, things can change quickly, and taking too long to prepare is not necessarily a good thing.

After all, nothing stays hidden forever, and I believe you two understand what I mean.

Zhan Weiting and Kang Lianhai exchanged a glance.

"Mr. Chen, I have an idea, but I don't know if it's convenient to implement it?" Kang Lianhai asked suddenly after frowning and thinking for a while.

Tell me about it.

"I'm wondering if we could shift the transport route a little further north?"

"You mean we shouldn't take the shortest route, but instead head north, passing through Huizhou City to Haizhou City, right?"

"Yes!" Kang Lianhai nodded: "If we go east, passing through Dongguan City to Haizhou, the whole way is densely populated urban areas. I'm worried that if we make a move on this route, it will be difficult to escape."

Heading north, the population will be relatively sparse, and we won't have as many reservations when we start our operation. The evacuation will also be easier. If the convoy could detour towards Luofu Mountain, that would be even better.

"I see..." An Xiaohai stroked his chin: "Okay, I can try."

However, you two shouldn't have too high hopes. My senior can only try to hint at things; he can't directly specify the route. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, he'll be suspected. I hope you two can understand.

"We understand, of course we understand! We are already very grateful that Mr. Chen is willing to help us with this."

"Alright, in that case, I'll head back now."

Firstly, I need to report the progress of the matter to my seniors immediately; secondly, as you both saw, two foreign friends have arrived, whom I just received, and I must give them a proper welcome.

"Alright, Mr. Chen, please proceed! We await your news."

"Alright, goodbye then. See you again once you've finalized your route."

"Okay...Mr. Chen, please wait a moment!"

"What? Is there anything I forgot?" An Xiaohai had just stood up when Zhan Weiting called him back.

"Mr. Chen, it's like this, recently quite a few gangsters have been coming to our club. Do you know any of them, Mr. Chen?"

"Of course I know them. They're my men. I had them keep an eye on you two. After all, this is our first time working together, so I have to be extra careful."

"Hehe, Mr. Chen is really a straightforward person!" Zhan Weiting was sweating profusely.

"Straightforwardness is my style. I don't like beating around the bush, and I especially dislike saying one thing to someone's face and another behind their back. Maybe it's because I'm in the energy business and travel abroad a lot."

Those brothers who control energy resources generally have a rather volatile temper. When they treat you as a brother, they will not hesitate to give their lives for you, but once you deceive them, they will retaliate with bloodshed.

I think this is a good approach. I prefer to discuss everything openly with my collaborators.

Whether it's trust or doubt, everyone should express their opinions and views directly. This can, to some extent, reduce misunderstandings and internal friction.

What do you two think?

"That's right, that's right, we completely agree, we completely agree!" Zhan Weiting said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"However, now that we've started cooperating, there's no need for me to keep an eye on you two anymore. You've trusted me so much, entrusting me with such an important matter and paying such a high price; shouldn't I return the favor?"

An Xiaohai gently patted a suitcase full of money and said with a smile.

"That's right, Mr. Chen is right. We're partners now, haha."

"Alright, I'll take my leave now!"

An Xiaohai said goodbye and left, and Zhan Weiting and Kang Lianhai saw them to the door.

Outside the clubhouse entrance, Mai Xiaoyu raised her right hand and made a gesture, and the security personnel surrounding the clubhouse immediately scattered.

An Xiaohai then left with his men.

"Weiting, I think we should just give up and not do it. This President Chen is really too scary! What if, I mean, what if..." Kang Lianhai said with a sigh.

"There's no 'what if'!" Zhan Weiting's expression was grim. "Lian Hai, I understand what you're saying, but remember my words: two tigers cannot share one mountain. We have no way out!"

After carefully inspecting the four suitcases, Zhou Xun shook her head at Mai Xiaoyu. Mai Xiaoyu looked at An Xiaohai, who had been sitting on the sofa with a furrowed brow.

"Mr. Chen, what's wrong?"

"I feel like something's not right."

"What's wrong?"

"It seems like Zhan Weiting and his group are plotting against me."

"That can't be right, they all seem to be terrified."

"I agree with Mr. Chen's point of view!" Ahmed suddenly interjected, his Mandarin was not very standard and sounded a bit strange.

"Why?" An Xiaohai smiled slightly and looked at Ahmed.

"When you left just now, Zhan Weiting looked at your back with murderous intent in his eyes! I saw it very clearly, and I know it very well."

"Hehe, yes, that's exactly how I feel!" An Xiaohai nodded slightly, the smile on his face disappearing completely in an instant.
