Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

The police were indeed on their way, and Cao Yingying was leading the team.

About half an hour ago, the Municipal Public Security Bureau received many emergency calls, with many people saying they were being blocked outside the urban village by a group of gangsters and prevented from going home.

This is outrageous!

Cao Yingying immediately took several police officers, intending to go and see who was causing trouble. However, before Cao Yingying even left the police station, Zhou Zhengguo stopped her, saying that he had something to discuss with her.

In the past, Cao Yingying would have already lost her temper, but now she wouldn't be like that. She's much more mature now. She just frowned and followed Zhou Zhengguo to the office.

Zhou Zhengguo didn't seem to have anything important to say, and chatted with Cao Yingying for a long time. The more Cao Yingying listened, the more at ease she felt. Something must have happened that he didn't know about, otherwise Zhou Zhengguo wouldn't be acting so recklessly.

No wonder Zhou Zhengguo, who had been on leave for a long time, suddenly came back to work recently, and there were many unfamiliar faces in the bureau.

After dawdling for nearly half an hour, Cao Yingying was finally able to set off with her people. They quickly arrived at their destination, and the villagers who had been blocked outside the village, upon seeing the police arrive, all surrounded Cao Yingying and began to talk.

Cao Yingying didn't get out of the car, but stayed inside, searching the crowd with her eyes. She soon spotted a familiar figure in a corner.

Xu Congzhou also saw Cao Yingying. He pointed to the indignant crowd, shook his head slightly, then pointed to the village before turning and leaving with his men.

Cao Yingying immediately understood and had the accompanying police officers stop the crowd. She took two people with her and entered the village first. When they reached the small square, the strong smell of blood almost made Cao Yingying fall over.

"My God, how are we going to clean this up?..." Cao Yingying stared blankly at the corpses on the ground, covering her forehead as she thought to herself.

At this moment, the noise from the citizens blocked at the village entrance grew even louder.

Today, the village held an event with free movies and free late-night snacks. With the encouragement of the village committee, almost everyone went. After all, it would be foolish not to take advantage of such a good deal.

But to everyone's surprise, after watching the movie and having a late-night snack, they weren't allowed to go home! Where can we even complain?! It's almost midnight, and we have to go to work tomorrow!

At the dock, Xia Qing was saying goodbye to An Xiaohai.

"You did a great job today!" An Xiaohai said with a smile.

Xia Qing was a little dazed. An Xiaohai, who had just been fierce and menacing, was now smiling shyly, just like the day they first met.

"Thank you for the compliment, but I think I'm already used to it."

"Are you used to it? This can't go on. If there are any more events like this in the future, you shouldn't participate."

"Why?" Xia Qing asked, her eyes wide.

"If girls are always the ones facing these bloody scenes, what's the point of having us men?"

"What about Sister Xiaoyu? Did you say the same thing to her?"

"No, not at all. When I'm with her, I always feel a kind of brotherly affection that's based on mutual respect!"

"Hahaha..." Xia Qing couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. For some reason, she couldn't help but laugh whenever she heard An Xiaohai speak.

"So, I often tell her that women shouldn't be too smart or too assertive, otherwise they'll have a hard time getting married, but she always pretends not to understand."

"Sigh, never mind, I'm leaving now. See you in a couple of days... No, wait, you should take your annual leave these two days, listen to me."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Be careful."

"I'll be careful, I'm off!"

An Xiaohai sailed away, and Xia Qing stood quietly on the dock for a long time before finally turning and leaving.

"Sigh..." Xu Congzhou, who had just arrived, couldn't help but sigh softly, "What a mess... That kid Liu Cong is probably going to be a bit difficult to deal with..."

In the temporary military camp

Kang Lianhai was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth in the tent; Mai Xiaoyu also seemed a bit irritable, lighting one cigarette after another; Zhan Weiting appeared calmer than the others, but in reality, his mind was also in turmoil.

"Young comrade, it's been three hours already, why aren't you done yet?!" Kang Lianhai couldn't hold back any longer and lifted the tent flap to ask the guard.

"I'm sorry, I don't know, please wait a moment!" The guard always gave the same answer.

"Lianhai, stop asking, it's useless. Just wait patiently, sigh..." Zhan Weiting sighed softly after saying that.

"Weiting, how can I not be anxious? Aren't you anxious too?"

"How can I not be in a hurry? But what's the use of being in a hurry? You'd better save your energy!" Zhan Weiting winked at Kang Lianhai, knowing that Chen Maogan's men were still here!

However, Zhan Weiting also noticed that, apart from Mai Xiaoyu, the other members of Chen Maogan's group did not seem to be that nervous.

Just then, voices suddenly came from outside the tent. The people inside the tent listened carefully and all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, but you do look somewhat similar to the wanted criminal An Xiaohai, and you also have a scar on your face, which makes us suspicious. We apologize!"

"It's alright, Political Commissar Liu. Cooperating with your work is our duty. Fortunately, the misunderstanding has been cleared up, otherwise I would have been quite worried!"

"Hehe, I'm really sorry, I apologize again!"

I noticed it was getting late, and everyone must be hungry. I asked the cooks to prepare some food, and I'll treat everyone to a late-night snack as a way of apologizing.

"That's great! I'm actually a little hungry too, so I won't stand on ceremony. Let's not talk about apologies; let's just consider this a case of 'no fight, no friendship,' and become friends!"

"Okay, it's an honor to be friends with Mr. Chen. Maybe we'll have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

Mr. Chen is a patriotic businessman. Over the years, he has paid a considerable amount of taxes to the country, almost matching some state-owned enterprises. We all admire him very much, haha!

An Xiaohai and a soldier in his forties lifted the tent flap and walked in.

"I'm done here, I can leave now. Political Commissar Liu is very kind and has prepared a late-night snack for us all. Let's all go together and eat before we leave!" An Xiaohai said, while giving Zhan Weiting and Kang Lianhai a wink.

Hearing their conversation, Zhan Weiting and Kang Lianhai felt much relieved. They were indeed hungry and hadn't even had dinner that night.

The group moved to another large open tent, where the cooks quickly served dishes.

As expected of a military camp, the portions of each dish were very large. An Xiaohai tried the food and found it surprisingly delicious. Everyone wolfed it down; they were all truly hungry.

An Xiaohai and Political Commissar Liu chatted enthusiastically, and by the end, they seemed like old friends. Zhan Weiting and Kang Lianhai both admired An Xiaohai; they could never be so relaxed around people in uniform.

Half an hour later, An Xiaohai declined Political Commissar Liu's invitation to spend the night in the military camp and led everyone away. Political Commissar Liu escorted them all the way to the roadside.

The convoy set off again.

"Great, you killed more than 20 Japanese Caos in one go!" Mai Xiaoyu said with a smile.

"You guys are pretty good too, you killed more than 30, more than a dozen more than me, and scared away a lot of them."

"But many still managed to escape, and two of our comrades were injured. This wasn't because we deliberately let them get away; these Caos are not simple."

"Yes, these people will be a menace if left alive, but after this incident, they probably won't dare to come here easily."

"I hope so. I heard on the communicator that you guys took care of Igawa Yu?"

"No, that was fake," An Xiaohai shook his head. "It was such a fake performance. That Momotani Ryoko didn't even show up. But I admire him. He watched his son being pushed down the stairs by me and he still managed to stay calm and not come out."

"That's true, but this time Xiaohu surprised me quite a bit. He actually fired a gun. Hanging out with you for too long has corrupted you."

"What kind of outrageous talk is that? Those are Japanese trolls! Are you suggesting we talk to them about martial ethics? Little Tiger hasn't just gone bad, he's become cunning!"

"That's true. There's no need to be polite with these Japanese assassins. Do you think the real Igawa Yu will fall for it this time?"

"I'm not sure if he'll fall for it, but I'm sure he'll go after An Zhehao. His son and so many of his men died tragically in front of him; someone has to be held responsible, otherwise how will he ever face the world again?"

"That makes sense!"

In the second to last car.

Kang Lianhai put down the phone and shook his head at Zhan Weiting. He had just called Momotani Ryoko, and the call went through, but she didn't answer.

What on earth happened?! What's going on today?!
