Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore!"

The fourth strongest is a Hong Konger named Luo Fuqiang. He has Y-country ancestry and yellowish-brown hair. People in the underworld call him "Foreigner Qiang." He practically monopolizes the entire sex industry in Deepsea City.

Gui Lao Qiang was originally an uncle of the Hong Kong gang, Ju Sheng He. He was very tactful and had good relationships with all the major gangs in Hong Kong. More than ten years ago, he focused his development efforts on Shenzhen City.

Foreigner Qiang has extensive connections in the underworld. He has a good relationship with the Chen brothers and Guo Xiangshui. He owns his own establishments and is willing to cooperate with others. He has deep entanglements with various forces in the Shenzhen underworld.

This person always talks about valuing harmony and making money through peaceful means, but in reality, he is ruthless and vicious.

If someone from Deepsea City has a grudge against him, he will send people from Red Harbor to kill them. If someone from Red Harbor has a grudge against him, he will send people from here to kill them.

Furthermore, this foreigner has close ties with the Big Circle Gang. If you encounter him, you must be extremely careful!

"Okay, I've got it."

"The third strongest is Sea Hawk," Ah-Huo said, his teeth clenching noticeably as he spoke of Sea Hawk.

"The sea hawk is only ranked third?" An Xiaohai was genuinely surprised.

"Yes!" Ah Huo nodded: "If we only consider their ruthlessness, cunning, and madness, they can rank first, but if we consider their power, they can only rank third at most."

A large part of the reason for this is because of us. Our crackdown on drugs is the strongest in the world, bar none. With us suppressing them, it's already quite an achievement that they can rank in the top three.

"I understand..." An Xiaohai also let out a long sigh of relief.

That's absolutely true. Without these anti-drug heroes, drug traffickers would take off! There are too many examples in South America, Mexico, the Golden Triangle, and so on. If a region or a country is dominated by drug trafficking, the entire social system will completely collapse.

"And what about the second one?"

"You wouldn't believe who's ranked second, would you? This second-ranked person has connections with you."

"Something I've crossed paths with..." An Xiaohai frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Hu Haikong?"

"clever!"

Ah Huo gave a thumbs up: "Hu Haikong! Everyone thinks he's a successful real estate businessman, but his background is frighteningly deep. When he was young, he was a staff member of the provincial party committee."

Ah Huo paused here, looking at An Xiaohai with great interest.

An Xiaohai took several deep breaths, finally pursing his lips: "Thanks!"

"You're welcome. If you want to thank someone, thank Captain Wang. He actually cares a lot about your situation. He asked me to keep an eye on Hu Haikong more than a year ago. I've collected a lot of information on Hu Haikong, and Captain Wang should have already compiled it."

There's too much content; you'll have to ask him for the details.

"Okay, I'll ask him for it." After biting his lip and remaining silent for a while, An Xiaohai suddenly asked, "Brother Huo, you asked me how to take down a provincial-level cadre, not just out of curiosity, right?"

Actually, you want to do the same thing, don't you?

Ah Huo didn't say anything, but just gritted his teeth and lowered his head.

An Xiaohai's heart was clenching with pain!

The underground forces in Deepsea City have long been thoroughly investigated by Ah Huo, or rather, by the undercover police officers. But if they are so well aware of them, why have they been tolerated until now?

What's truly terrifying isn't these underground criminal organizations, but rather those who shelter them from the storm.

Ah Huo was like a lone hero in the darkness; he burned himself out, but failed to illuminate the world.

In that instant, An Xiaohai finally understood why Ah Huo trusted him so much and why he revealed his identity the moment he saw him.

"So what he wanted to do was the same thing I wanted to do... except Ah Huo seems to be much more desperate than I am..."

"Brother Huo, don't be discouraged! Dealing with these people isn't actually that difficult. We don't necessarily have to die together with them. Let me tell you my thoughts!"

"Oh? Really? Go ahead, I'm listening!"

"First of all, we should often put ourselves in others' shoes. If I were that high-ranking official, how would he deal with me? To put it bluntly, there are only two methods: black and white."

As for Bai's methods, they are actually easy to circumvent. As long as I don't break the law, or get caught by the police, and don't participate in the social division of labor, he has virtually no way to deal with me.

"Yes," Ah Huo nodded, "In that case, the only way he can deal with you is through the underworld, but you have already taken the lead and established your position in the underworld. It won't be so easy for him to deal with you."

But Xiaohai, have you ever considered that once you truly stand against Bai, he can openly and legitimately use Bai's power to deal with you?

"That's why I also contacted Captain Wang, hehe!"

"You bastard! But I have to warn you, Captain Wang can't protect you. Even if he tries his best to protect you, he might not be able to."

He...is so lonely!

"I understand that, so we can't just wait for the other side to make a move; we must strike first, or rather, we must have the ability to strike first."

How can we strike first?

"Strip him of his wings, let those who were originally his henchmen turn against him. The more they turn against him, the less energy he will have to deal with me."

At the same time, find his enemies and find a way to cooperate with them;

Third, try to take advantage of his incompetent teammates and see if you can sabotage him.

This whole setup, while not necessarily defeating him, will definitely keep him busy and flustered for quite some time.

This gives us a chance to catch our breath, and we can take advantage of the chaos to deal with him with a continuous stream of backup plans.

"A useless teammate? Is there one?"

"Of course."

"Who is it? Can you tell me?"

"It's a woman, a woman driving a red Santana. I have her picture. I also wanted to ask you for your help in finding out who this woman is."

"Okay, give me the photos, I'll help you check."

"That's great."

"Do you still think we have no chance of winning?"

"Sorry, I still don't think the chances of winning are very high!"

"Haha, that's normal. The odds aren't high, but there's hope! Brother Huo, have you heard of the Nanjiang Guerrilla Force?"

"Of course I've heard of them. Not only have I heard of them, but I've also learned about their deeds. These senior figures are all heroes."

"Those predecessors, under such difficult conditions and with such a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, still managed to persevere until victory. If they could do it, why can't we?"

We can learn from them and fight a guerrilla war, stabbing him in the back today and taking a bite out of him tomorrow. When that high-ranking official is covered in blood, I want to see how long he can hold out!

Besides, don't I still have the trump card of going down with them? If all else fails, I'll play this card. If I can escape after playing it, I'll live as a fugitive. If I can't escape, I won't lose anything.

As the saying goes, those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. We are the ones who have nothing to lose now.

"Then let's just go all out and fight him!"

"Yes, we really have nothing left to lose, so let's fight them with our last ounce of strength! You're right!"

An Xiaohai and Ah Huo stood on the dock, looking at the pitch-black sea before them, and fell into silence.

"Brother Huo, who's number one? And who exactly is ranked number one? Is there someone in Shenhai City with more power than Hu Haikong?"

"Yes, of course there is. This person's nickname is Pig Dragon. He runs more than 80% of the underground casinos in Shenhai City and almost monopolizes the loan sharking market. Moreover, I suspect that he is the bookmaker of the largest underground bank in Shenhai City."

This person is quite mysterious. No one knows who he is or what he looks like. It is only rumored that he is a fat man, the kind that is very fat.

This person controls an immeasurable amount of funds; even Hu Haikong frequently needs his funds for working capital. He deserves to be ranked first!

"Yeah...you really have to be rich. Only the rich can be the real boss!" An Xiaohai sighed and said softly.
