Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Chapter 626 Encouragement and Comfort

Not long after An Xiaohai hung up the phone, Zhan Weiting called again, asking him to come to the club to discuss the specific details of the operation.

An Xiaohai had no choice but to take Mai Xiaoyu with him.

After discussing with Zhan Weiting and Kang Lianhai for nearly three hours, An Xiaohai finally dragged his tired body home. He originally wanted to go to sleep immediately, but once he got home, he didn't feel so tired anymore, so An Xiaohai sat on the sofa and started thinking again.

Seeing An Xiaohai deep in thought, Mai Xiaoyu sighed inwardly and returned to her room.

The phone rang, interrupting An Xiaohai's thoughts. He picked up the phone and saw that the caller ID was not working.

An Xiaohai answered the phone immediately.

"It's me," came 073's voice from the other end of the phone. His tone was unusually gentle tonight: "I'm not too busy today. I figured you must still be awake, so I suddenly thought I'd call you and chat."

"Did Xiaoyu call you? She must be worried about me."

"Yes, haha, nothing can be hidden from you."

Don't blame her. She didn't specifically report you to me. She just mentioned it casually after reporting on her work today on the phone.

"Of course I don't blame her. I know she's just concerned about me," An Xiaohai took a deep breath. "Actually, I'm always like this before every operation. Xiaoyu doesn't participate in many operations directly, she just hasn't gotten used to it yet."

"I am aware of this. If we and the Security Department participate in your operation, we will hold a debriefing meeting with the Security Department after the operation."

The debriefing meeting will be very detailed, and you will be given a detailed report on your state during the operation.

However, I think this time might be a little different from before.

I know you, and I know Xiaoyu even better. She is definitely not an emotional person. If she feels that there is something wrong with you, I am more inclined to believe her.

My concern is that you may not even realize it yourself, but you have indeed been a bit too cautious this time.

Others may not notice, but I have never seen you so anxious and insecure.

Think about it carefully, isn't that right?

073's words made An Xiaohai frown. After thinking about it carefully, he did feel a bit guilty. He realized that he had indeed been too cautious this time.

"Xiao Hai, I know very well that An Zhehao puts a lot of pressure on people. Especially last time, we were so close, but he got away. I think that must have been a blow to your confidence."

Also, there are some things I shouldn't have told you, but I feel I should now.

Last time, even with enough time to prepare, we might not have been able to capture Ahn Cheol-ho. That time, he also made very thorough preparations.

Although he didn't plant a bomb at the train station, he planted bombs elsewhere, which was very dangerous.

One bomb is in the airport parking lot, and another is in the fountain pool at Haizhou Square; both locations are crowded areas.

But An Zhehao never expected that you would be so decisive, giving him almost no chance to speak, forcing him to flee decisively instead of using those two bombs to blackmail us.

It can be said that your decisiveness saved us from a significant crisis.

Senior 027 immediately sensed something was wrong. She immediately had people search the airport and dock, and sure enough, they found a bomb in a car in the airport parking lot.

We then expanded our search area and found a second bomb in the fountain pool at Haizhou Square.

The second bomb was found four days after the operation. You have absolutely no reason to blame yourself, really.

"Why didn't you tell me this sooner?"

"Senior 027 told us not to tell you, she was afraid it would put pressure on you," 073 also took a light breath.

"An Zhehao is a madman. It's hard to predict his behavior using common sense. When we face him, we always feel helpless."

You're different; sometimes you seem even crazier than him.

The moment you pressed the bomb button without hesitation, Ahn Cheol-ho had no choice but to run away immediately. He must have thought that he couldn't blackmail you with the life of a stranger.

I want to find your relatives and friends, but I can't find them anymore.

This is a huge advantage for us. At least in the future, if he wants to deal with you, he is less likely to try to take the masses hostage. He can no longer act with the same impunity as he did with us before. He will have no choice but to confront you head-on.

So, that operation can't be considered a failure; at least you took away one of his biggest assets.

Perhaps this is fate.

Xiao Hai, do you remember what you told us about the concept of a domain?

Do not fight the enemy in their territory, but find a way to lure them into our territory. Only in this way can we amplify our advantages, weaken the enemy's strength, mobilize the enemy, coerce the enemy, and finally annihilate the enemy.

Am I remembering correctly?

That's why I became genuinely worried after hearing Xiaoyu's report. You're constantly guessing and analyzing An Zhehao's reaction; in other words, aren't you getting caught up in his territory?

Xiaohai, don't be like this. Things are different now. We've never had such a great advantage in dealing with An Zhehao!

Deepsea City has completely become our home ground, our territory!

I believe that in our field, and through our joint planning and efforts, neither Ahn Cheol-ho nor any other enemy can gain the upper hand.

I have another piece of good news to tell you: our superiors have just approved our application and have sent us an exceptionally strong external support team.

"Exceptionally powerful external support? There's even more powerful external support than you combined with the security department?"

"Of course there are. They are the best of the best selected from the 3 million soldiers in the country. The Hong Kong Garrison has a total of 5,000 personnel, and the higher-ups transferred 3,000 of them to us at once."

Three thousand soldiers, each of whom is no less skilled than He Xiaohu.

In addition, half of the special operations personnel in our security department with code names below 200 have arrived, and the security department has also transferred special operations teams from nearly 10 provinces.

In addition, the police, armed police, special police, your brothers, and millions of civilians in Shenhai City, as well as the two divisions mobilized from the nearby Southern Military Region, will be ready to provide reinforcements at any time.

With such a powerful force gathered, I really don't believe they can make any waves!

The balance of power has shifted. Cheer up, use the methods you know best, and go for it in your field.

I believe that good will prevail over evil!

"I understand... Thank you, thank you!"

"Didn't we already agree that there would be no need for thanks between us?"

"My thanks are not for 073. I am thanking an elder who called to comfort and encourage me when I was most exhausted. As far as I can remember, he has never said so much in one go."

……

"Well... I'll accept your thanks on behalf of this elder. He asked me to tell you that he had an ordinary name. A long time ago, he was called He Hongzhi."

"I've got it. I'll pull myself together. See you after the victory."

"Haha, see you after the victory!"

Red Harbour, Luxury Mansion on the Peak

Xu Zhenzhen pouted and listlessly cut the steak on her plate.

"What's wrong? Don't you like the food?" An Zhehao put down his knife and fork and asked softly.

"I love to eat, but I'm getting a little tired of eating the same things all the time..."

"So, tell me, what do you want to eat?"

"I want to eat the fish maw from Fu Lin Men Restaurant! And lobster too!"

"I had someone buy it and deliver it over."

"No! I want to eat there; it's all cold by the time it arrives..."

"That place is too high-profile, you know, we can't go to places like that."
