Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Haizhou International Building, Tianhai Central Business District, Haizhou City

Jiang Ting's phone rang.

Jiang Ting glanced at the phone number, answered it, and hung up about seven or eight seconds later without saying a word.

"How's it going?"

An Zhehao handed a glass of red wine to Jiang Ting. As Jiang Ting took the glass, she gently scratched An Zhehao's palm with her little finger, and a smile appeared on her lips.

"Successfully!" Jiang Ting said with a smile after taking a small sip of red wine. "I've eliminated those three important figures. They'll probably be behaving themselves for quite some time now."

"Hmm!" An Cheol-ho nodded. "You didn't leave any loose ends, did you?"

"Impossible, it was done very cleanly, it was Caos who did it."

"You actually let Caos do this kind of thing? Their prices aren't cheap," An Zhehao frowned deeply.

"Don't worry, it's free. They owed me a huge favor last time, so I just mentioned it, and they took it on their own initiative."

"Alright, it's good that they handle it. At least it's reassuring. I'm just worried that if it's too clean, it might arouse the suspicion of those drug lords."

"Let them be suspicious, what can they do? I don't believe they dare to break ties with us!" Jiang Ting shrugged indifferently. "Their money is still circulating with us."

More than 100 is no small sum of money. He doesn't have to do anything and can earn a considerable income every year.

I believe the sea hawk can distinguish between advantages and disadvantages.

Besides, he holds a public office and is connected to us. This is no joke; it's far more serious than drug trafficking, and he knows it very well.

So even though he knew we had attacked him, he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.

Don't worry, he won't care. He's never treated his subordinates like human beings. I even think he'd prefer us to kill them all so he can take the money and live a carefree life without any consequences.

"Okay, that's settled for now."

"We should do these things less often in the future, as they don't align with our principles," An Zhehao nodded slightly again, his brow furrowed, and said nothing more.

"Hey, Zhehao, do you know what? Your son is really amazing now!"

I managed to take down three of them while holding Caos back, but he took down several of their points with a single move, killing a large number of them and losing a huge amount of their goods!

As far as I know, your son probably did it himself the night before last.

"I've said it many times, he's not my son. How do you know this?" An Zhehao's brows furrowed even more.

"I was just curious, so I had someone tease him!" Jiang Ting said with a smile as she leaned closer to An Zhehao.

*Smack!*

An Zhehao suddenly sprang to his feet and slapped Jiang Ting hard across the face. Jiang Ting was knocked off her chair and fell to the ground. The wine glass in her hand shattered, and red wine splattered on the marble floor, looking like blood!

Jiang Ting covered her face and looked up at An Zhehao. An Zhehao's face was as cold as ice, and his eyes were as unfathomable as an abyss! Jiang Ting dared not meet An Zhehao's gaze and hurriedly lowered her head.

"Get out!" An Zhehao roared, like a beast howling.

Jiang Ting shakily got up from the ground, grabbed her bag, and rushed out as if her life depended on it.

When the pain in his body finally subsided, An Xiaohai checked his watch and saw that it was already 3 p.m. He took a taxi straight to Ah Huo's neighborhood.

After getting out of the taxi, my stomach was growling, and I had forgotten to eat lunch.

An Xiaohai found a small shop near Ah Huo's house, ordered some food, and started eating, while his mind was racing.

After this series of blows, the Sea Hawks must be completely disoriented. If they start fighting with Tong Sheng Lian in Honggang, their entire chain will probably be in trouble.

The losses suffered by the sea hawks this time are incalculable, so we can put them aside for a while. Next up is the pig dragon.

Once Pig Dragon gets into trouble, the entire underworld of Deep Sea City will probably be thrown into complete chaos, which will be the perfect opportunity to eliminate one side.

However, while it sounds simple, it is actually quite complicated to operate.

Currently, An Xiaohai only knows that Zhu Polong and Hu Haikong joined forces to launder money using bank drafts, but he still knows nothing about their specific methods.

How did the money from the underworld flow into Zhu Polong's hands? How exactly did Zhu Polong convert this money into bank drafts? And how did he then convert these bank drafts into cash or assets on his books...?

An Xiaohai was still completely clueless about these specific operating methods. Without understanding these methods, it would be difficult to find the illicit money.

More importantly, An Xiaohai did not believe that Haiyaozi, the Chen brothers, or similar underworld organizations would put all their money with Zhu Polong.

That's too unsafe.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket, or you'll be in trouble if the basket breaks.

It's not enough to just keep an eye on the dragon; we also need to find all the eggs and smash them all at once.

Only in this way can we truly break their hearts, make them suspicious of each other, and ultimately drive them to fight to the death.

"Looks like I'll have to find some help..." An Xiaohai thought, taking a deep breath.

Compared to the entire underground world of Shenhai City, An Xiaohai felt that his group was too insignificant. Even with Xu Tianyou added, they wouldn't be enough to fill the enemy's teeth. Bringing Ah Huo in would also be of no use.

We need to find some help!

Who should we turn to? Wang Tiejun is definitely out of the question; when it comes to matters of principle, there's really not much room for negotiation with that guy.

Zhou Zhengguo is worth considering; his approach to things is much more flexible and relaxed than Wang Tiejun's. However, the problem is that Zhou Zhengguo is at too high a level. It's fine to get him involved in general matters, but as for specific involvement, forget it.

Is Captain Zhou any good? He's actually a very good candidate, and he has the most powerful forces at his disposal. But thinking about Captain Zhou's grumpy face, An Xiaohai decided it was best not to provoke him for the time being.

"Then who else? 073? No, 073 said I'll do what I'm supposed to do, but it's impossible for them to directly target Pig Dragon, because that would affect their plans..."

It seems like he's the only one left, Captain Yan. I wonder if you'd be interested in this game? ...

No, I can't go to him!

An Xiaohai exhaled and shook his head, as if trying to banish all thoughts from his mind.

If Yan Hong is consistently shown to have the only way out after several analyses, then there is a problem.

It's not that Yan Hong's identity is problematic, nor is it that seeking out him is problematic, but rather that this way of thinking is problematic! This is a typical case of path dependence. If I let myself continue like this, I won't be able to get anything done without Yan Hong in the future.

"Yan Hong is really amazing. He hasn't done much, yet he can create a psychological dependence in people. He's not simple..."

An Xiaohai ate while thinking, taking a full 40 minutes to finish a bowl of wontons.

After finishing the wontons, when it was time to pay the bill, a few thugs came into the shop to collect protection money. Watching them argue with the shop owner over 10 yuan, An Xiaohai couldn't help but find it amusing.

Small-time thugs and hooligans were people that An Xiaohai used to be very wary of, such as Liu Jun's brothers, who really made An Xiaohai anxious for a while.

Looking back now, these guys were actually quite adorable. They just wanted to make a little money to spend; they weren't planning to kill you or have any ulterior motives.

All they care about is money. They won't really resist when the police come to arrest them. Going to jail is like going abroad for a degree or getting a prestigious education. And these guys' audacity is directly proportional to the amount of money they have.

"A petty thug...right, a petty thug! How come I didn't think of that?"

Thinking of this, An Xiaohai raised an eyebrow.

Thugs are indeed a very interesting group, a kind of magical creature. They do nothing all day and wander around aimlessly. Aren't they the best candidates for spies?

Moreover, these guys seem completely unaware of the dangers of the world; they are only afraid of the lowest-ranking police officers and so-called underworld bosses like Xu Yun and Ah Huo.

As for figures like Haiyaozi, Haifoye, and Zhupolong, they had never even heard of them!

Having never heard of it, they naturally wouldn't know what fear was. An Xiaohai was certain that if Zhu Polong didn't have a few people with him, these thugs would probably have dared to pin him to the ground and trample him.

"There are so many petty thugs in Deepsea City, why not make use of them?"

An Xiaohai finally got excited, and an image of a short man immediately flashed through his mind.
