Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"What's wrong?" An Xiaohai noticed that Mai Xiaoyu had frowned and quickly asked.

"That woman named Kazuko was probably on the phone. She seems to have walked away, left the listening point... Her voice is too soft, I can't hear her at all! Be quiet!"

Mai Xiaoyu seemed a little irritated, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't hear what Kazuko was saying on the phone.

Twenty minutes later, Kazuko finally finished her phone call and came back.

"This is so infuriating!"

"What is it, Madam?"

"Last night, it wasn't just us who were massacred; Caos from H country, Malaysia, and India were also driven away and slaughtered, and they even did it under our banner! It's outrageous!"

"Nemesis...this is too much!" Igawa Yu's voice was so deep it could drip water: "What does the Abyss Divine Court say?"

"Let's talk about this as we walk. Ryoko, call Mr. Zhan and Mr. Kang over. We need to ask them some details."

"OK."

------

"Damn it!" Mai Xiaoyu cursed and lightly pounded the table.

"What's wrong now?" An Xiaohai asked cautiously.

"These people have started moving, and it's hard to hear what they're saying now. We can only hear them asking Zhan Weiting and Kang Lianhai about the details of their time with you."

"Finally, we've become suspects..." An Xiaohai took a deep breath: "What did they say before?"

Mai Xiaoyu quickly recounted their conversation to An Xiaohai.

"Phew~ That's good enough. It's good enough to hear this. At least we can be sure that most of our plan has been successful, and we've also had some unexpected gains."

"Forget it, let's not listen anymore. Let's hurry back; they'll be back soon, and we need to prepare."

Do you think they'll contact you immediately after they get back?

"That's very possible," An Xiaohai nodded. "If they want to continue their operation, they must ascertain my identity as soon as possible, at least to determine whether I'm in cahoots with An Zhehao."

"In other words, if they rush to find you after they come back, it means they will continue their operations."

"Yes, they don't have much time left, and they can't afford to waste a single night."

"So what do we do next?"

"Let's adapt to the situation. These people are already trapped and can't cause any trouble," An Xiaohai breathed a sigh of relief. "I care more about what the Abyss Divine Court thinks."

Once trust is broken, it is very difficult to salvage.

If this incident can truly cause a rift in the Abyss Divine Court's trust in An Zhehao, then our ultimate goal will have been achieved.

"Secretary Xiaoyu, do you believe me? If we don't make any fatal mistakes in our next operation, this time, we might very well be able to eradicate the Abyss Organization from within China in one fell swoop."

"Is that so?... " Mai Xiaoyu was taken aback. After staring at him for a while, she seemed to understand An Xiaohai's meaning, so she nodded and said, "I hope it's as you think!"

"I don't think there's a big problem. Let's go upstairs."

------

Half an hour later, Momotani Ryoko knocked on An Xiaohai's door, and An Xiaohai quickly opened it.

"Miss Ryoko, is there something you need?"

"Dear Mr. Chen, my master, Mr. Igawa, has something very important to discuss with you immediately. Please move to the living room. I apologize for disturbing your rest, and thank you for your understanding!"

"Can."

An Xiaohai grabbed a piece of clothing and followed Momotani Ryoko to the living room, where Igawa Yu and Kazuko were already waiting. Zhan Weiting and Kang Lianhai were nowhere to be seen.

"I'm so sorry to have disturbed your rest!" Igawa Yu and Kazuko stood up and bowed to An Xiaohai.

"You're welcome. We're all on the same side. Have a seat. What can I do for you?"

"Mr. Chen, your eyes are very red. Haven't you been resting at all?" Kazuko asked with a smile. It's amazing that she could still smile!

"Yes, I can't sleep. An Xiaohai saw me helping you guys today, so I have to find a way to take precautions."

"Mr. Chen, are you really that afraid of this An Xiaohai?"

"I'm not afraid," An Xiaohai shook his head. "We're all just navigating the world, being afraid is useless, but I don't want to get into this trouble."

In my opinion, nothing else matters; making money is the most important thing.

There's a Chinese saying, "Harmony brings wealth." Therefore, avoid trouble if you can avoid it, and don't make enemies if you can avoid making them.

"Mr. Chen makes a lot of sense!"

Mr. Chen, you got into this trouble because of us. If you're willing to offer us some assistance, we're willing to resolve this problem for you permanently; it's what we should do.

"Forget it, you don't need to worry about it," An Xiaohai waved his hand irritably. "An Xiaohai and I haven't reached the point of life and death yet. I'll find someone to talk to him and see if we can find a way to resolve this feud."

It's all about interests. If this kid is really unappealing, it's not too late to turn against him later.

"Is this what you two wanted to talk to me about?"

"No, that's not it!" Yu Igawa and Kazuko exchanged a glance before he spoke up, "We wanted to ask Mr. Chen for some further assistance."

"Please speak."

"Yesterday we were attacked by An Xiaohai, and our son, Igawa Jiro, unfortunately died in the attack. I would like to ask Mr. Chen to find a way to get us out of China so that we can bring Jiro's body back to China for burial."

"No problem, it's a piece of cake. I can arrange a boat to take you out tomorrow. Is there anything else?"

"Also, if it's convenient, Mr. Chen, could you get us some more self-defense weapons?"

"For example?"

"We've already compiled a list of the weapons we usually use. Mr. Chen, you can get as many as you need," said Igawa Yu, while Kazuko handed a prepared piece of paper to An Xiaohai.

An Xiaohai glanced at the weapons list and immediately frowned. These guys really wanted quite a few weapons.

"There are quite a few weapons on the list, so I can only agree to provide you with a portion for now."

"Any amount is fine."

"Is there anything else?"

"Our two injured companions are seriously injured, and I don't think they can withstand the wind and waves at sea. Could you please take care of them for a while? Once they are able to move freely, they will leave on their own."

"That's a minor issue. Anything else?"

"That's all, that's all for now."

In return, we are willing to pay Mr. Chen US$20 million. Mr. Chen, please provide us with a receiving account, and we will transfer the money to you immediately.

"Mr. Igawa, the things you've asked me to do are all minor matters. The weapons do require some investment, but the cost is very limited, less than a tenth of the twenty million US dollars. You're giving me so much; you're losing out big time!"

"It's worth it!" Kazuko shook her head: "Mr. Chen provided us with shelter in our most critical moment, but he also offended An Xiaohai and got into trouble because of it."

This sentiment cannot be expressed by a mere twenty million US dollars. Please accept it, Mr. Chen!

Of course, we don't intend to use these twenty million US dollars to buy back Mr. Chen's kindness; it's just a small token of our appreciation. We hope to have more opportunities to cooperate with Mr. Chen in the future, so please accept it!

"Oh, I see. Well then, I won't stand on ceremony. After all, nobody turns down money, haha!"

"Mr. Chen is such an interesting person!"

"Haha, this is the first time I've heard someone say that about me," An Xiaohai called Mai Xiaoyu and provided her with the bank account number for receiving payments.

Igawa immediately had Momotani Ryoko bring him a laptop and transferred 20 million US dollars to An Xiaohai in front of him.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they went back to their respective rooms to sleep. After they parted, Mai Xiaoyu took An Xiaohai's arm and followed him into the room, the two appearing extremely intimate.

After closing the door, Mai Xiaoyu pushed An Xiaohai away, spread her arms, and lay back on An Xiaohai's bed.

"Secretary Xiaoyu, isn't this a bit inappropriate?!"

"What's wrong with it? Whirlwind, whirlwind, whirlwind..."

"Alright, alright, stop! I'm scared, Miss Mai!"

"Hehe! What do you think they're trying to do?"

"Them..." An Xiaohai lay lazily on the recliner, "They want to bypass us and act ahead of time. I estimate they'll make their move tomorrow night!"
