Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Shenhu Port is the passage from Shenhai City to Honggang.

The port is divided into passenger and freight terminals. The passenger terminal is open from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., while the freight terminal is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The line of container trucks waiting to cross the border can stretch all the way from the port to Shenhai Avenue, a distance of nearly 10 kilometers.

From a distance, the line of container trucks, resembling a river of lights, is exceptionally spectacular.

"Boss, do you think this will work?" Kunji asked excitedly, having already changed his clothes.

An Xiaohai was both amused and exasperated. Kunji looked nothing like an armed police officer; he looked more like a spy who had infiltrated their ranks, and a very convincing one at that.

Coupled with Wangcai's bewildered expression, it's just... hilarious!

"This... is a bit troublesome. Kunji, come here, I'll help you tidy it up."

"Okay!"

Kunji came running over excitedly, and An Xiaohai started helping him straighten his clothes, tightening the belt, smoothing out the sleeves, and buttoning up the top button...

Before An Xiaohai had finished, two large tears rolled down Kunji's face, startling An Xiaohai.

"Kunji, what's wrong with you?"

"Boss, in all my years, only my mom has ever helped me with my clothes. Now, I also have you, Boss."

……

"I'm so fed up with you two! What are you crying for?! Can't you do it or not? If you can't, get out! Don't drag us all down with you!" Xu Tianyou roared in fury.

An Xiaohai glanced at Xu Tianyou, suddenly finding it somewhat amusing. The more agitated Xu Tianyou became, the more nervous he was: "So you can be scared too?"

"Isn't that obvious? Don't you even look where you are!" Xu Tianyou rolled his eyes dramatically. "I told Kunji, I told you not to come and cause trouble, but you insisted. Don't you know it's dangerous to bring you along? Why don't you just keep watch for us?"

Kunji glanced at Xu Tianyou, said nothing, and simply lowered his head. Clearly, he was absolutely unwilling to withdraw at this point.

"Stop bullying Kunji! Look at yourself! We told you not to come, but you insisted. Now you're saying we'll get you into trouble? What are you trying to do?"

"Alright, alright, I can't argue with you two. Hurry up and get it done, I'm getting more and more scared!"

After An Xiaohai's tidying up, Kunji finally looked somewhat presentable. Kunji pulled out a small mirror from somewhere, looked at himself, and suddenly felt a little more confident.

"Do you remember the steps I taught you during the day?"

"Of course I remember, but boss, which leg should I step with first?"

……

Whatever!

An Xiaohai felt a little dizzy. He looked back at the brightly lit line of cars. This idea was really too risky, but there was no other way.

It's obviously abnormal that Big Back Hair and his gang are in such a hurry to collect debts. If they were really that anxious, Zhao De wouldn't have kept quiet about it for so long inside.

Therefore, this is very likely a trap, a means of forcing oneself. Once one falls into this trap, subsequent methods will come one after another.

The only way to break this deadlock is to resolve this problem quickly and unexpectedly.

As for who's behind it all, let's get past that first. Many people are suspects: Guo Xiangshui, Gui Liu, even Zhao De, Third Brother, and the mastermind behind it all.

These people all have similar goals: to manipulate and control me. Therefore, we must not let them have their way, and we must take a risky approach.

An Xiaohai took a deep breath: "Let's go, let's set off!"

Kunji had already scouted the location and observed it for two days. The armed police at the port patrolled approximately every two hours, sometimes every three to four hours; it's unclear whether this was intentional or simply a flexible schedule.

An Xiaohai didn't have time to figure these things out. An hour had passed since the last patrol, and there would be a gap of 30 minutes to an hour no matter what.

We can't delay any longer; we have to act now.

After An Xiaohai finished speaking, he led the way towards the long line of cars. Xu Tianyou clenched his fists, pounded them hard in the air, gritted his teeth, and followed.

Kunji seemed a little flustered. When Wangcai saw An Xiaohai move, he quickly followed, taking Kunji with him.

I really don't know whether this is a person leading a dog or a dog leading a person.

Compared to Kunji and Xu Tianyou, Wangcai was the calmest one. He was just a little unaccustomed to the new traction equipment and would stop every now and then to shake it off.

An Xiaohai chose the middle section of the convoy, which was quite a distance from the border checkpoints. People there couldn't see this position at all, so theoretically it would be very difficult to be exposed.

Click, click, click, click...

An Xiaohai and Xu Tianyou walked side by side, their shoulders slightly touching. They stood upright, their steps were neat, and their leather shoes made a crisp, rhythmic sound on the asphalt road. Each sound struck the hearts of the three of them.

To outsiders, An Xiaohai and Xu Tianyou are both tall and handsome, and they look quite dashing in their crisp military uniforms. Kunji also looks less out of place with Wangcai by his side.

The three people looked exactly like a patrol squad.

"Xiao Hai, I suddenly remembered! Where did Kunji get these clothes? Did he get them here at the border? That would be the death of us!"

"Don't worry, Kunji isn't stupid. They did it in a faraway place, in a warehouse. The other party probably hasn't even found out yet."

"Oh, that makes me feel much better... What was my job again? My mind's a bit of a mess, I can't remember right now, how strange!"

"You're in charge of observing those container truck drivers. If you spot any driver who looks like a gangster or one of your underlings, tell me."

"Oh, right, right! But what if we run into other patrols?"

"Stop, stand at attention, salute, and just follow my commands."

"What if they question us?"

"Take off running, run in three directions."

"What if you can't escape...?"

"Shut the hell up!"

"Okay, okay, I'll shut up, I'll shut up. I need to pee, can I go to the toilet first?"

"Shut up!"

……

Xu Tianyou wanted to regret it, but it was too late. At this moment, the three of them had passed through a building and appeared in the sight of the container truck drivers. Many container truck drivers looked in their direction.

"What the hell! Why are these cops so diligent today? They keep coming back and forth!"

A man with tattoos all over his arms complained from inside a container truck.

"Keep quiet. What kind of cops are you? They're armed police, armed, and even have a dog on their leash. Something's probably going to happen. You're looking for trouble."

"So, our goods..."

"Shut up!"

Another, slightly older driver glared at the guy. He then looked nervously at An Xiaohai and his companions. At that moment, An Xiaohai and his two friends were heading straight for them.

"Hey, is there really something wrong with this car? You're not mistaken, are you?" An Xiaohai asked softly, but his mouth didn't move much, so it was impossible to tell from a distance.

"Don't worry, those two drivers are obviously no good; there's definitely something fishy going on!"

"Alright, I'll trust you this once."

An Xiaohai led the two people and the dog closer to the container truck. After pretending to walk halfway around the truck, An Xiaohai walked to the front of the driver's cab and assumed a guarded posture.

Xu Tianyou and Kunji worked together very well. When the moment came, the two of them calmed down and took off the replica 87A that they were carrying on their backs and held it in their hands.

"Turn off the engine, get out of the car, and submit to inspection!" An Xiaohai's voice was icy.

"Sir, what's wrong?" The elderly truck driver was startled and broke out in a cold sweat. Although he was still asking questions, his body language betrayed him as he turned the key and turned off the engine.

This isn't Hong Kong; the police aren't so easily dealt with. It's best to cooperate obediently.

"Open the door, get out of the car, and open the container!" An Xiaohai's voice remained cold.

"Officer, please don't do this!" The truck driver immediately became agitated upon hearing this. "Opening a container is such a hassle. We've already been queuing here for seven hours. If we need to be inspected, we'll have to queue up all over again. Please, have mercy on us and let us go!"

If truck drivers have to queue again, they will waste at least 7 hours, which are very valuable to them.

As the truck driver pleaded, he got out of the truck, rushed over, and grabbed An Xiaohai's hand. At the same time, a banknote was slipped into An Xiaohai's hand without being noticed.

I checked the size of the banknote; it should be 1000 Hong Kong dollars.

An Xiaohai frowned, about to say something, when two more banknotes were stuffed into his hand.

HKD 3000!

An Xiaohai frowned, as if he was having an internal struggle. The truck driver gritted his teeth and stuffed in two more bills.

An Xiaohai also gritted his teeth, and under the light, his clenching was particularly noticeable.

Just then, the convoy of container trucks suddenly moved, probably because there was an empty space ahead, so everyone moved forward, and the trucks behind honked their horns.

The truck driver was clearly more anxious. If he couldn't leave now, the trucks behind him would cut in, and once he was pushed out of the queue, he would have to queue again.

The truck driver was unwilling to raise the price any further; HK$5000 was already quite a lot! Considering their income, it was already a considerable sum. If An Xiaohai still refused to let him pass, he would simply have to go back to the queue.

Just then, An Xiaohai quickly withdrew his hand, frowned as he looked at the container truck, then turned to look around. Finally, under the extremely nervous and expectant gaze of the truck driver, he waved.

"Let's go, hurry up! Don't block the way and inconvenience the people behind us."

"Yes, sir! We'll leave right away!" The truck driver, feeling like he'd been granted a pardon, quickly jumped into the driver's seat, started the car, and drove off at top speed.
