Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Like Ha Chung, Tung Chung is a small bay with a similar structure. The eastern pointed end is called Tung Tau Kok, and the western pointed end is called Ngai Su Kok.

Ding Quansheng's repair shop is located at the foot of the low hill in Rixijiao.

Aishan was a barren mountain. It took An Xiaohai a lot of effort to climb to the halfway point. His clothes and pants were torn by thorns, and his body was covered with bloodstains, but An Xiaohai was completely unaware of it.

The view here is excellent; you can clearly observe most of the interior of the repair shop through binoculars.

In the small courtyard of the repair shop, engine parts were scattered all over the ground, and five or six workers were carefully cleaning and wiping them. The one in the lead could be vaguely recognized as Ding Quansheng.

These engines under maintenance are certainly not ordinary speedboat engines; their gleaming silver parts reflect the sunlight like the shimmering surface of a lake.

An Xiaohai observed without moving for more than 20 minutes, his tightly furrowed brows never relaxing.

After careful counting, the workers were cleaning and maintaining at least 10 engines, enough to power three or four large aircraft.

What are they trying to do?

Judging from their progress, it's impossible for them to finish tonight. Even if they work overtime, the earliest they can deliver is the next day.

Therefore, it seems likely that their operation will take place tomorrow night.

An Xiaohai heard a rustling sound behind him and peeked out to see Ah Huo bringing Kunji over.

Although An Xiaohai had marked the place on the mountain, he did not expect the two of them to arrive so quickly and find it so accurately. Kunji's ability to find traces is truly extraordinary.

"How's it going? Any discoveries?" Ah Huo asked as soon as he arrived.

"We should have found the right place. Take a look for yourself," An Xiaohai said, handing the binoculars to Ah Huo, who immediately took them and began to observe.

Kunji's face turned slightly red, and he was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks.

An Xiaohai exchanged a few glances with Kunji, realizing that Kunji definitely had something to say to him, but couldn't speak up because Ah Huo was there.

It seems that Kunji has also made some discoveries.

An Xiaohai told Kunji to calm down. He couldn't appear too close to Ah Huo. In any case, Ah Huo's identity had to be kept secret.

"This isn't right! Why are there so many engines? Where did all these engines come from? What are they trying to do?!"

Ah Huo clearly noticed that the number of engines was incorrect, and frowned as he turned to ask An Xiaohai.

"Ah Huo, if you take a close look at the propeller connecting rods of these engines, you'll understand."

"Really?" Ah Huo observed through his binoculars for a while longer, then suddenly realized, "I know! The longer connecting rod is for the larger aircraft, and the shorter one should be for the level aircraft!"

"Smart!" An Xiaohai gave a thumbs up.

Large boats follow normal routes, and the propellers are submerged to normal depths. Sometimes they are even lengthened to provide more powerful thrust. This also allows the bow to be raised higher, reducing friction and increasing speed, but it also makes them more prone to capsizing.

Level flight involves passing through mangrove forests, where the water is very shallow and the underwater environment is very complex. If the propeller extends too low, it will cause problems, and if it gets tangled in seaweed, it will be a big trouble.

Of the dozen or so engines in the repair shop, half belong to the large-scale aircraft and the other half to the level aircraft.

After all that, it turns out that the three Chen brothers and Haiyaozi all had their engines serviced by Ding Quansheng!

"Xiao Hai!" Ah Huo looked at An Xiao Hai, his eyes shining brightly.

An Xiaohai smiled slightly. He could understand Ah Huo's excitement. As long as they kept a close eye on this repair shop and those level flight engines, they might be able to follow the clues and find out some of the Sea Harriers' hideouts.

There are indeed no roads on the sea, but every road has a beginning and an end.

An Xiaohai also felt a bitter smile in his heart.

Ah Huo is too excited right now, so he's overlooking a very important issue.

Once Ah Huo calms down and thinks about it, he should soon grasp the key point and realize that these horizontal sea traffic routes are just a smokescreen released by the sea hawks.

Sea Harriers also have an even more secretive and larger-volume drug trafficking route!

"We have to speed things up. If you guys find out about that marine environmental monitoring center too, things won't be fun..." An Xiaohai's lips curled into a slight smile, giving the impression of helplessness mixed with a hint of joy.

Kunji, watching from the side, felt his hair stand on end. Whenever his boss made that expression, something big was definitely about to happen!

That's so exciting! I can't wait!

The three of them observed the area for a while longer. Kunji, feeling that looking through the binoculars wasn't enough, secretly slipped away, and An Xiaohai didn't pay any attention to him.

Kun Ji is a skilled thief; he has his own methods for scouting locations, so he never makes a mistake.

"Xiao Hai, what are you planning to do?" Ah Huo asked immediately after Kun Ji left.

An Xiaohai first made a shushing gesture, then lowered his voice and said, "Judging from their progress, it's unlikely they'll be able to take action until at least tomorrow night."

An Xiaohai looked up at the sky again: "It should be either tomorrow night or the night after tomorrow. We can't delay any longer, or the wind will pick up."

Let's take turns keeping watch here. Once these engines are repaired, they'll definitely need to be transported to their departure point. We'll split up and follow them; you'll go with Dafei, and I'll go with Pingfei.

"Me and Dafei?" Ah Huo frowned.

"Yes, firstly, you are more familiar with the way Third Brother and Fourth Brother's group act and behave than I am, and you know more people than I do. It will be more effective and safer for you to work with them."

Secondly, Ah Huo asked me to kill the sea hawk, so how could I miss such a good opportunity?

This time, I'll make them pay dearly. You'd better not get involved in this at all. If you can find a witness with an alibi, that would be even more secure.

"But...they're sea hawks!"

"Don't worry, I'm not doing it myself."

"You mean... Holy crap, you're not thinking of using Captain Zhou and the others, are you? Are you crazy?! If he finds out you're using him again, he'll..."

Ah Huo stopped there, after all, An Xiaohai had never admitted that he was the one who did the incident at Guankou.

"Don't worry, Captain Zhou won't do anything to me."

He's a cold-faced but kind-hearted person. Don't be fooled by how he always punches and kicks me when he sees me. He's very measured in his blows. His punches and kicks look fierce, but they don't hurt at all.

Besides, I'm not using him to do anything bad; if he does this, it's a great achievement.

I believe that as long as it's about cracking down on illegal and criminal activities, Captain Zhou won't really be angry with me.

Ah Huo, only with Captain Zhou and his team taking action can we both hurt Haiyaozi and prevent them from suspecting us, achieving two goals at once.

However, whether I ultimately die a horrible death depends entirely on you.

"I understand..." Ah Huo let out a long breath: "Don't worry, as long as those two guys dare to show up, we definitely won't let them escape."

"But Xiaohai, why are you so sure that these two people are in Fourth Brother's hands? Have you discovered something again? I'm really worried..."

"Don't ask, and don't worry, those two guys are definitely in Fourth Brother's hands! If they aren't, then I'm out of luck!"

"Okay..." Ah Huo glanced at An Xiaohai and didn't ask any further questions.

An Xiaohai's reaction was obvious. He wasn't quite sure before whether those two people were in Fourth Brother's hands, but now he was certain.

Ah Huo was certain that An Xiaohai was hiding something from him, but not out of malice. So, who cares!

An Xiaohai smiled bitterly to himself.

Those involved are often blinded by their own interests. Ah Huo was too eager to deal with the Sea Hawk, so he didn't even notice such an obvious flaw. But once he figured it out, the Sea Hawk will probably be in big trouble.

Thinking of this, An Xiaohai couldn't help but chuckle.

Ah Huo glanced back at An Xiaohai, then laughed and gave him a light punch on the shoulder.
