Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Early in the morning, Mai Xiaoyu took a nice shower, changed into her sportswear, and planned to go downstairs for a morning run.

"Sister Xiaoyu, why don't you shower after your run? If you shower now and come back covered in sweat, you'll have to shower again. Isn't that troublesome?" Zhou Xun asked curiously.

Mai Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at Zhou Xun: "What do you know? Women always have to present their most beautiful side to the world when they go out. Is taking a shower such a hassle? It only takes a few minutes!"

"But I see that many of the women who run don't dress up carefully."

That's because they actually went for a run.

"You weren't really going for a run? Is there some other mission?" Zhou Xun scratched her head and then asked.

"You're overthinking it. There was no mission. I did go for a run, but it wasn't just for running."

While I'm running, I also get to enjoy the envious glances from others, which greatly satisfies my vanity and is one of my few pleasures.

"..."

Just as the two were joking around, the door opened and An Xiaohai, covered in sweat, walked in.

"Are you up or did you not sleep at all?" Mai Xiaoyu asked curiously as she leaned closer.

"I couldn't sleep, and I thought maybe my body wasn't tired enough, so I went for a run. Who knew that I would feel even more energetic after the run? What a disaster..." An Xiaohai said while wiping his sweat with a towel.

"You definitely look more energetic, you're in much better shape than yesterday!" Mai Xiaoyu smiled and nodded, saying, "How is it? Have you figured it out?"

"Yes, I've figured it out."

"Then hurry up and tell me, what are your new plans?"

"Go for your run first, I'm going to take a shower and rest for a bit. You'll be back just in time. Oh, and bring back some breakfast while you're at it, we can eat and chat."

"Then I won't go for a run. You go take a shower, I'll make breakfast!" Mai Xiaoyu said and walked towards her room.

"The kitchen is over there."

"I know the kitchen is over there, I need to change my clothes first."

"What clothes do you wear when making breakfast?"

"Mind your own business!" Mai Xiaoyu bared her teeth at An Xiaohai and Zhou Xun, then slammed the door shut.

Twenty minutes later, Alahan and the others got up, and they all ate breakfast together.

Since Mai Xiaoyu made breakfast, Ahmed finally showed his true strength, drinking two large bowls of porridge, showing off eight pancakes and four eggs, and still seemed a little unsatisfied, which left An Xiaohai stunned.

After breakfast, everyone sat down to drink tea, and Mai Xiaoyu sent Zhou Xun to wash the dishes.

"Speak! Now you can tell me, right?"

"Of course!" An Xiaohai nodded: "Today is the 18th, and there are only three days left until the deadline for the bounty mission. They are probably already preparing to take action."

It's easy to be a thief for a thousand days, but difficult to guard against thieves for a thousand days! We must strike first.

"How should we make the first move?"

Are there also armed police units stationed in Haixi Province?

"Of course, Haixi Province is a border province, so of course there are armed police forces stationed there."

"That makes things easier. We'll immediately ask the local armed police force to organize an internal skills competition or something, and invite Captain Zhou over. Ideally, they should be able to set off this afternoon."

As An Xiaohai finished speaking, he had already brewed a cup of tea and poured one for each person. Everyone drank the tea while frowning in thought, but they still couldn't figure out why An Xiaohai had done this.

"I surrender. I can't figure it out. Explain it to us, hehe," Alahan said with a laugh.

"Of course, we have to strike before them! Last night I suddenly realized I was getting a bit stuck in my own head and almost letting them lead me by the nose!"

An Xiaohai finished the rest of his tea and continued, "When two armies clash, we must first figure out where our greatest advantage lies, and then make the most of that advantage."

Our greatest advantage over these foreign assassins, as well as the Abyss Organization and An Zhehao, is that we can mobilize various forces without restraint.

They, on the other hand, could only hide in the shadows, carefully plotting, knowing that a single misstep would mean certain death.

Now, they have set up their battlefield in Deepsea City, and all their forces are concentrated there. It is precisely because they have concentrated such a large force in Deepsea City that they are likely to pose a threat to us.

But this is China, the whole of China is our territory, and we don't just have Shenhai City.

Moreover, we can disperse, and even then, we will still be terrifyingly powerful. But what about them? They'll be in an awkward position; once they disperse, they might not have the qualifications to challenge us anymore.

"So you're planning to open up another battlefield?" Ahmed asked, nodding slightly.

"That's not all!" An Xiaohai started brewing the second round of tea: "The opponents we are facing now actually belong to two different forces."

One of them is the external Caos assassins, whom I group together as the same force.

The other force is the assassins that Ahn Cheol-ho secretly trained. I consider them to be the second force on Ahn Cheol-ho's side.

I believe that of these two forces, the truly dangerous one is the second one, namely Ahn Cheol-ho and his men.

The first force is not weak, but they are outsiders. I believe that most of them were already being watched by our people when they entered China. Therefore, these people are not to be feared.

But we still have no clue about the second force, Ahn Cheol-ho and his men, which is dangerous.

"So, the first thing we need to do now is to find Ahn Cheol-ho's men."

"I understand!" Mai Xiaoyu's eyes lit up: "You sent Captain Zhou to Haixi to mobilize An Zhehao's men!"

"Yes!" An Xiaohai smiled slightly, and Mai Xiaoyu's reaction was incredibly fast.

"But I still don't quite understand..." Ahmed, who was as big as a small mountain, said, scratching his head.

"It's like this..." Mai Xiaoyu stood up excitedly and said, "This time the assassination targets are three people: Director Zhou Zhengguo, Deputy Director Wang Tiejun, and Captain Zhou."

Ahmed, think about it, if you were one of those foreign assassins, which target would you choose?

"Of course I choose Director Zhou and Deputy Director Wang."

Why?

"Because they are easier to kill! They are both in the city police station, surrounded by only some police officers. I can also create some chaos to divert some of the people around them, and then I will make my move. The chances of success will be very high."

It's too dangerous to attack Captain Zhou while he's still in the military camp, unless he leaves, and he doesn't have many men with him.

"That's right. So most outside assassins, as long as they're not out of their minds, should target Director Zhou Zhengguo and Deputy Director Wang Tiejun."

So, who has the capability to assassinate Captain Zhou?

"An Zhehao!" Ahmed suddenly realized.

"That's right! Only he has the ability to assassinate Captain Zhou."

He had already done his homework in the army. Don't forget, we now know at least one highly suspicious person, Chen Fei. Only An Zhehao has the ability to assassinate Captain Zhou.

"So, the people who follow Captain Zhou's every move are An Zhehao's men!" Ahmed exclaimed, slapping his thigh.

"Correct!" Mai Xiaoyu gave Ahmed a thumbs up: "Moreover, An Zhehao has ample reason to assassinate Captain Zhou."

The first reason is that he didn't initiate this large-scale bounty. He can act recklessly without any scruples. No matter how big a mess he makes, everyone, including us, will hold Zhan Weiting and his gang responsible.

I think he might even deliberately create some clues afterward to draw our attention to Zhan Weiting and his group.

We've taken down Zhan Weiting, which is like removing a nail from Haixi Province for him, allowing him to swallow the entire province without any problem.

He had been making preparations here for a long time, and it was only a natural thing for him to take over control of Haixi Province from Zhan Weiting and his group.

The second reason: If Captain Zhou is killed, his position will be vacant, and An Zhehao and his gang might have another opportunity to operate.

This is killing two birds with one stone! If I were Ahn Cheol-ho, I would definitely not let this opportunity slip by!

Mr. Chen, am I right?

"Absolutely right! Our Secretary Xiaoyu is truly a combination of beauty and intelligence; she's so charming!"

"Thanks!"

Mai Xiaoyu accepted An Xiaohai's praise generously, spreading her hands and smiling brightly.
