Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"Moving observation post report: The target appears to be heading towards the mouse in position 3! Repeat, the target appears to be heading towards the mouse in position 3!"

"Roger that! Attention, all teams! Attention, all teams! Our assessment may have been flawed. All snipers, prepare to fire! Position 3, make sure the target is safe!"

Suddenly, the voice of 042 came through the communication system. He was the commander-in-chief of this rat extermination operation.

"yes!"

Chen Fei gritted his teeth, held his pistol, and crouched low as he cautiously moved forward. Suddenly, Chen Fei frowned and stopped.

There was a large patch of weeds ahead, which looked very abnormal.

Chen Fei was originally from the field army. He was transferred to the public security force after being wounded. Later, the public security force was reorganized into the armed police, and he has been working there ever since.

Judging from the state of the fallen weeds in front, it's obvious that someone has been lying here for quite some time. But who would lie here for so long in this desolate wilderness? And what is he trying to do here?

Chen Fei glanced around; everything was quiet and there was nothing unusual about it.

After much deliberation, Chen Fei decided to lie down in the weeds and take a look to see what the person who had been lying there earlier was looking at.

Chen Fei moved forward slowly again, but before he had taken two steps, a dark figure suddenly rushed out of a bush less than half a meter away from him and pounced on him.

Chen Fei caught a glimpse of a cold light out of the corner of his eye; it must be the weapon in the other party's hand!

They were too close, and the attack came too suddenly. Although Chen Fei quickly turned his gun around, he knew in his heart that it was too late.

Just at this critical moment, two muffled gunshots suddenly rang out not far away. The figure who rushed out froze and crashed straight to the ground. The dagger in his hand slashed past Chen Fei's eyes, less than 5 centimeters away from his nose!

Just as Chen Fei was still in shock, two figures suddenly stood up from the bushes not far away, holding long rifles and aiming them at Chen Fei.

"Don't move! Slowly lower your weapons, or you'll be shot on the spot!"

"Who are you people?!" Chen Fei asked sharply. In fact, he already had the answer in his mind. Judging from the tactics these people used, they should be on his side.

"Stop talking nonsense, listen to my instructions, and slowly put down your guns! Otherwise, you'll be shot on the spot!"

Chen Fei glanced around again with suspicion. Two people in full disguise, holding guns, flanked him from the left and right. Logically, there should be another person in the group hiding in the shadows, with their gun aimed at him.

There was no other way; there was absolutely no room for resistance. Chen Fei could only slowly lower the gun in his hand to the ground.

Just then, gunshots rang out again from the surrounding woods, and the intense gunfire lasted for almost a minute before finally subsiding.

"Magnon bullets! I actually heard the sound of Magnum bullets! Who are these people?... "

Chen Fei put the pistol on the ground and was about to straighten up when a gun was pressed against his lower back. Immediately afterwards, Chen Fei felt a pair of cold handcuffs on his wrists.

Seaside villa

Mai Xiaoyu had already returned to her room, while An Xiaohai sat on a recliner by the French windows, his eyes closed as he continued to ponder.

In fact, An Xiaohai did not explain everything to Mai Xiaoyu. It was not that he wanted to hide anything, but that some things could not be explained clearly. If he wanted to explain clearly, he would have to clarify his true relationship with An Zhehao.

He didn't want to talk about this matter. He had never fully revealed what his grandfather An Zhenhua had told him to anyone, including Pan Zhuangzhuang and 073.

The trap set for An Zhehao has actually been in the works for a long time, starting from the "Royal Dragon Gazing at the Sea" operation.

After the typhoon operation ended, An Xiaohai waited for retaliation from An Zhehao and the Abyss Organization, but the expected fierce retaliation never came.

This can only mean one thing: Ahn Cheol-ho suppressed the matter.

Operation Typhoon may fool anyone, but it certainly won't fool Ahn Cheol-ho.

At that time, An Xiaohai and Xu Tianyou were both wearing GPS necklaces. An Zhehao only needed to check their movements that day to guess the truth of the matter.

However, neither An Cheol-ho nor the Abyss Organization took any action.

Why is this happening? Why doesn't An Zhehao expose him? There's only one possibility: An Zhehao isn't wholeheartedly loyal to the Abyss Organization; he has serious ulterior motives.

In An Zhehao's view, it would be better to leave this huge fortune to An Xiaohai than to Jiang Ting, because An Xiaohai is his son and the little devil he raised.

This enormous fortune is no different in the hands of the little devil than in his own possession.

As long as he has selfish motives, that's fine. As long as An Zhehao has selfish motives, An Xiaohai can carry out a counter-espionage plan against him.

An Xiaohai was well aware of his advantages. He was inferior to An Zhehao in many aspects, but there was one thing that An Zhehao could never match: his knowledge that was decades ahead of this era.

In this day and age, information is still very limited. Things that almost everyone knows in 20 years are unknown to the vast majority of people in this era.

The Abyss Organization must have originated in Europe. Without a doubt, the leader of such an organization is either a Protestant or a Jew. But whether Protestant or Jew, they would never completely trust a Chinese person.

Or, one could say that they were inherently afraid of the Chinese, because the Chinese had always represented the most advanced civilization in the world, suppressing these barbarians for thousands of years.

If it weren't for the fact that the Chinese dragon had taken a severe tumble in recent centuries, this suppression would have continued indefinitely.

That is why, the more powerful An Zhehao, a Chinese, is, the more they will fear him; and someone as intelligent as An Zhehao must have felt this fear.

This is the basis for sowing discord among them.

Trust cannot be allowed to crack, much less be preserved. Once even the slightest crack appears, and temptation remains, it will inevitably lead to a massive collapse sooner or later.

More importantly, An Xiaohai was certain that no matter how serious the misunderstanding between them was, they were unable to establish effective communication.

Neither Ares nor Hermes could have an open and honest conversation with Nemesis, nor would they believe a word he said; they would only believe what they wanted to believe.

Similarly, Nemesis could not explain anything to them, because he knew that explanations would be useless.

Once a misunderstanding arises and a conflict erupts, it will inevitably lead to a break between Ahn Cheol-ho and the Abyss Organization.

From the very beginning, Ahn Cheol-ho had been preparing for this day. He had secretly built a team that belonged entirely to him, all in preparation for this day of rupture.

Just now, An Xiaohai told Mai Xiaoyu that An Zhehao might complete the mission for Jingchuan Xiong and his team in order to prove his innocence. In reality, An Xiaohai believed that this was impossible.

Once An Zhehao senses a rift between himself and the Abyss Organization, his first reaction will be to run away immediately, disappearing without a trace, and then reappear to cause trouble when everyone has forgotten about him.

This is his style of doing things, and it is also in his best interest. He knows very well that no matter how he proves himself, he cannot clear his name or gain the absolute trust of the Abyss God Court unless he can recover the huge amount of wealth lost by the Abyss Organization.

Since that's the case, An Zhehao won't waste his energy. Disappearing immediately is the best option. Moreover, while he's disappearing, he'll likely expose the Abyss Organization through some means.

In this way, he could both draw away the Security Department's attention and weaken the Abyss Organization's power in China through the Security Department. He was very likely to do this.

This is why An Xiaohai told Mai Xiaoyu that if things went well this time, they might be able to eradicate the Abyss Organization's power in China.

The reason An Xiaohai didn't remind Mai Xiaoyu when she came to the wrong conclusion was partly because Mai Xiaoyu's judgment had a certain probability of happening, and there was no harm in her reporting it so that everyone could prepare in advance.

On the other hand, it was also because An Xiaohai didn't want to explain so much; he needed to free up more energy to predict An Zhehao's movements.

So far, An Zhehao has been too quiet. Apart from sending someone to follow Zhou Meng to Haixi Province, he has made almost no other moves, which has puzzled An Xiaohai.

"Ahn Cheol-ho, what exactly are you doing?... "

Disneyland in Los Angeles.

An Zhehao sat on a bench, looking at the distant sky with a melancholy gaze; Xu Zhenzhen rushed to An Zhehao's side with two ice creams in hand and shoved one of them into his hand without saying a word.

An Zhehao was slightly taken aback, his chest heaving violently twice, but in the end he let out a soft sigh.

Xu Zhenzhen felt a pang of pain in her heart. She had never seen An Zhehao show such bewilderment before, nor had she ever imagined it. In her memory, An Zhehao's eyes were always so clear, so cunning, and so full of confidence.

Xu Zhenzhen suddenly threw away her ice cream, knelt on the ground, and rested her head on An Zhehao's lap.

"Uncle, no matter what happens, Zhenzhen will always be your Zhenzhen, and I will always stand by your side."

Xu Zhenzhen's sudden confession stunned An Zhehao once again. A thousand emotions flashed through his eyes in an instant, finally settling on a soft look.

An Zhehao wanted to touch Xu Zhenzhen's long, flowing hair, but his hand ultimately stopped in mid-air.
