Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

At dawn, the convoy entered Deepsea City. Before six o'clock, there were not many cars and people on the streets, but there was a faint sense of solemnity.

The white Santana driven by Zhan Weiting and Kang Lianhai had moved to the front of the convoy to lead the way, and the convoy slowly headed towards the headquarters of Dabo Entertainment Company.

When they were still a street away from the headquarters of Dabo Entertainment, Zhan Weiting suddenly braked and stopped. An Xiaohai, who was fast asleep in another car, was also awakened by the sudden stop.

"Mr. Zhan, what's going on?" An Xiaohai asked, picking up the walkie-talkie.

"Mr. Chen, something seems to have happened. There are a lot of police officers ahead!" Zhan Weiting's voice was filled with fear and unease.

An Xiaohai knew, of course, that there would be a lot of police there. So many Japanese assassins died last night, it would be strange if there weren't any police.

To go all out in the act, An Xiaohai opened the car door and got out. As he stretched, he glanced over and saw several police cars parked downstairs at the Dabo Entertainment Company building. One police car had its lights on, but no siren.

An Xiaohai returned to the car and picked up the walkie-talkie: "So what do we do now? Do you have any backup locations?"

Zhan Weiting didn't know how to answer. To this day, they still hadn't been able to contact Momotani Ryoko, and even Pei Songzhi from Dabo Entertainment Company was nowhere to be found.

Zhan Weiting, who had been able to barely maintain his composure, had now completely lost his composure.

"Mr. Zhan, since there's been a slight mishap at your place, why don't you come to mine first? We've been running around all night, and everyone's tired. Let's settle in first and then figure out a solution."

"Alright, alright, then let's go see Mr. Chen first, thank you!"

"It's nothing, it's only right. You two hosted me in Haixi, so I should extend the same hospitality here. I'll lead the way, you two follow closely."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Chen!"

An Xiaohai put down the walkie-talkie. Just as the security guard, who was acting as the driver, was about to drive the car around to the front, several police cars suddenly rushed out from a side road and quickly blocked the lead car's path.

Cao Yingying got out of a police car, scanned the convoy twice, and then a smile appeared on her lips.

"These people are suspicious. Tell them all to get out of the car for inspection!"

Cao Yingying waved her hand, and the police officers immediately dispersed, knocking on the car windows to make everyone get out of the car for inspection. Cao Yingying herself walked straight towards An Xiaohai's car.

"Get out of the car! Submit for inspection!" Cao Yingying said, standing beside the car with one hand on her hip.

An Xiaohai and Mai Xiaoyu exchanged a wry smile and had no choice but to open the door and get out of the car.

"Show me your ID cards!" Cao Yingying's gaze swept back and forth between the two men with ill intent.

Helpless, An Xiaohai and Mai Xiaoyu could only take out their ID cards and hand them to Cao Yingying. While handing over the ID cards, Mai Xiaoyu playfully poked the back of Cao Yingying's hand with her finger, and Cao Yingying glared at her in return.

"You're all set, that's fine!" Cao Yingying glanced at the ID card, returned Mai Xiaoyu's ID card to her, and then turned to An Xiaohai: "Come with me for a moment."

"No way? What's going on now?!" An Xiaohai asked loudly, inwardly sighing, "Deputy Director Cao is trying to settle a personal score..."

Watching Cao Yingying lead An Xiaohai into the police car not far away, Zhan Weiting and Kang Lianhai felt nothing. Damn, they'd gotten used to it by now…

"Deputy Director Cao, what brings you here? Hehe!" Inside the police car, An Xiaohai made conversation as he watched Cao Yingying carefully checking her ID card.

"If you can come, why can't I?" Cao Yingying rolled her eyes at An Xiaohai.

"I felt something was off a few days ago! Things were acting strangely at the bureau. Director Zhou suddenly came back to work and would often chat with me about everyday things."

It wasn't until such a big thing happened last night that I finally realized that some troublemaker was coming back. So I quickly asked Xia Qing where she was, and sure enough, she had taken leave.

I'm getting angrier and angrier. You can trust a little girl like me, but you won't trust me!

"Alright, fine! How can I, a deputy director, always be the one causing trouble for others? I should find ways to cause you trouble too!"

"This..." Cao Yingying was at a loss for words!

"Who were those people who died last night?"

"this……"

"There's something wrong with your ID card. I think you look a bit like a wanted criminal. Come back to the station with me."

"Japanese, assassin, member of the Caos organization!"

"It's them again?" Cao Yingying frowned deeply. "Why didn't you call me for this? I have a grudge against them!"

"Because there are too many people in Shenhai City who know you."

"Fine, I'll reluctantly accept that reason. But what about the others who died outside? Were they all just cheats?"

"Why are there still areas that haven't been cleaned up?"

"Of course there are, there are four!"

The area is too large, and the population density in Shenhai City is high. It's impossible to leave no trace. I only got there after receiving reports from the public, and I doubt they had time to handle it.

"I understand... It's all Cao's fault. We killed seventy or eighty of them yesterday, and some of them were scared away beforehand."

"So many!?" Cao Yingying was startled. "What are they trying to do, gathering so many people in Shenhai City?"

"Assassinate Director Zhou, Deputy Director Wang, and Detachment Leader Zhou."

"What?! Why would they do that?!"

"To create chaos so that I can take the opportunity to save Kang Jiaxiang."

"Just because of that?"

"Yes, I suspect that Kang Jiaxiang must have some important secret, which is why they are willing to pay a huge price to rescue him."

However, I was the one who reminded them of their idea to assassinate Director Zhou and create chaos. I want to lure all these spies here and then wipe them out in one fell swoop. Leaving these spies out there will only cause trouble sooner or later!

"You!..." Cao Yingying pointed at An Xiaohai, so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time.

"I'm sorry, but before formulating this plan, I consulted with Director Zhou and Captain Zhou, and they were very supportive."

"What about the Iron Army?"

I didn't tell him.

"So you don't even consider the Iron Army as human beings, huh?"

"No, it's because Deputy Director Wang isn't very good at acting, and we're all worried he'll give himself away. But don't worry, we've already assigned someone to protect him closely."

"Is that Xiao Wu who just joined a couple of days ago?"

"Yes, those are experts from the security department. Don't worry, Deputy Director Wang will be fine."

"Good! Well done! You all did a great job!" Cao Yingying gritted her teeth in anger, taking several deep breaths to calm herself down: "Tell me, how do I need to cooperate?"

"As long as everything remains the same, that's fine."

"Hmph, so you want me to keep playing dumb, right? Fine, whatever! I'm used to it anyway! But listen to me, if anything happens to those three, I'm not letting you off the hook!"

"Okay, I guarantee they won't have any accidents. If they do, I'll pay with my life."

"Shut your filthy mouth! Go on, and you all better watch out."

"Thank you, Deputy Director Cao... How is Director Zhou?"

"He looks alright, but I feel that his inner conflict hasn't been completely resolved. He looks much more颓废 and haggard than before, and I'm very worried about him."

Call ~

An Xiaohai let out a soft breath: "Let's give him a little more time. I believe he can slowly get through this."

"I hope so! You little brat, are you doing this on purpose? You keep calling me Deputy Director Cao, everyone else would love to drop the 'Deputy' part, but you insist on adding it every time, trying to annoy me?"

"I don't know why..." An Xiaohai scratched his head: "I just started calling him that without realizing it."

Actually, I prefer to call you Captain Cao, and the same goes for Captain Wang. I always feel it's a bit strange to call you Director Cao and him Director Wang.

"Yes..." Cao Yingying sighed softly, "I always miss the old days when everyone was so busy that they couldn't breathe every day, but we felt like we were all one family, fighting for the same goal."

But now, it seems everything has changed, it doesn't feel the same anymore...

"Maybe I'm just not used to it yet. It should get better gradually."

By the way, Director Cao, Xia Jing's mission is complete. These next few days will be particularly dangerous, and she's been attracting some negative attention. I told her to take leave and rest to avoid this period.

However, I'm worried she won't comply. If she doesn't ask for leave, please take her with you.

"She's already taken leave!" Cao Yingying gave An Xiaohai a deep look. "She's so obedient to you! You've really ruined her life!"

"..."

"Alright, I'm not going to argue with you anymore. You can continue with your mission."

After Cao Yingying finished speaking, she got out of the car, and An Xiaohai had no choice but to follow her.

"Chief Cao, there are two Hong Kong nationals and two foreigners among them. Their identities cannot be confirmed at the moment. Should we take them back to the station to confirm?" an officer asked, holding the passports of Zhan Weiting and the others.

"No need, I've already checked, these people are all fine, let them go!" After speaking to the police officer, Cao Yingying turned to the others:

"A heinous murder has occurred at the headquarters of the Dabo Entertainment City. Do not linger here; leave immediately!"

After speaking, Cao Yingying returned to the police car and led the officers away in a hurry. Zhan Weiting and Kang Lianhai exchanged a glance, finally letting out a sigh of relief, and returned to their car.

An Xiaohai led the convoy and sped towards Apojiao.
