Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

The three quickly arrived at Xu Tianyou's car. After putting their things away, Xu Tianyou took out two walkie-talkies and gave them to An Xiaohai and Pan Zhuangzhuang.

"I'll follow them in my car for a bit, Xiao Hai, you ride the motorcycle, Zhuang Zhuang, you go hail a taxi. Listen to my instructions. If I notice they've noticed me, I'll turn at the next intersection, and then Xiao Hai will pick me up."

Zhuangzhuang, you're in charge of covering for me. I'll tell you the timing and direction over the walkie-talkie. If the taxi driver doesn't listen, show him this!

At this moment, Xu Tianyou seemed to have completely changed. As he spoke, he tossed something to Pan Zhuangzhuang. Pan Zhuangzhuang caught it, looked at it, and his expression immediately became very strange. However, Pan Zhuangzhuang did not say anything and simply put the thing away.

That was a police officer's ID.

The three of them quickly set up the walkie-talkie channel.

"Watch out for this black modified Mercedes MPV with bulletproof glass and license plate number Hai B7U6W2. Keep a close eye on him!"

"receive!"

"receive!"

"receive!"

Three responses came through the walkie-talkie; they were the voices of Yeren, Acha, and Liu Kun.

An Xiaohai's face darkened even more. This guy, didn't he say he came alone?!

"Brother Hai, don't look so gloomy. I really came alone. They arrived later this morning. Don't worry, these three are definitely fine."

Xiao Hai, there are some things they need to know. Let them understand that you've already put in a lot of effort, so when it comes time to split the profits, they won't feel like they're getting too little. Do you understand?

In less than a minute, Xu Tianyou had switched between three different states and feelings, and An Xiaohai was surprised to find that he had already gotten used to it.

"I understand, I'm not blaming you!" An Xiaohai rolled his eyes at Xu Tianyou. "Since we have extra manpower, if this Mercedes stops in any place later, try to have our people go in and confirm the handover."

"No problem, you can take charge."

"No, you should take command!" An Xiaohai thought for a moment and said to Xu Tianyou, "I'm not very familiar with the three of them. There are six of us here, and you're the only one who knows everyone. You should take command."

"Okay, I'll take command. Get ready, they should be coming out soon."

An Xiaohai and Pan Zhuangzhuang exchanged a glance, then turned and left. An Xiaohai started his motorcycle, and Pan Zhuangzhuang quickly flagged down a taxi.

The MPV came out faster than expected; judging by the time, he practically drove around the underground parking garage once before emerging.

Xu Tianyou waited until the MPV turned at the intersection before driving after it.

An Xiaohai rode his motorcycle, keeping a long distance behind, and would occasionally deviate from the main road, passing through some buildings or urban villages before returning to the main road, depending on the road conditions.

Xu Tianyou calmly directed everyone to advance. An Xiaohai would often hear Xu Tianyou say on the walkie-talkie that the target vehicle had left his field of vision and that Yeren and Hongpao should fill in.

An Xiaohai couldn't help but admire Xu Tianyou's tracking method, which was considered very advanced even among the methods taught by Fu Guowei.

Indeed, it's not the badness of a thug that's scary, it's a thug with education...

The journey was very smooth, and the MPV seemed completely unaware that it was being followed. Every ten or twenty minutes, it would enter an office building and enter its underground parking lot, only to drive out again shortly afterward.

Hongpao is indeed an expert in cars. He can tell from the height of the MPV that it will be loaded with new cargo every time it stops, just by visually estimating its height.

An Xiaohai, Yeren, and Liu Kun all went in once and roughly identified three companies that were involved with MPVs.

The fourth time, Xu Tianyou wanted to go in, but An Xiaohai vetoed it.

We can't be too reckless. These intermediate points aren't actually that important. The key is to find their stronghold.

Xu Tianyou was surprisingly obedient at this point and immediately abandoned his plan, which greatly relieved An Xiaohai.

"Attention everyone! Attention everyone! The MPV is slowing down; it's likely about to enter the next delivery point. Get ready!"

Xu Tianyou's voice came through the walkie-talkie again.

An Xiaohai frowned, and at the same time, a thought struck him: this was within the territory of Shuitian Village!

Shuitian Village, though called a village, has long since become a huge industrial and commercial district. Factories and shopping malls are densely packed together, appearing somewhat chaotic, but it is very popular.

This is the case in many places in Shenhai City.

In fact, Shenzhen is not only Asia's largest electronics distribution center, but also Asia's largest jewelry distribution center and the world's largest eyewear industry distribution center. Guoqiang South Electronics Market is just the most famous.

The jewelry industry in Shenhai City is almost entirely concentrated around Shuitian Village, where there are countless jewelry companies and jewelry processing plants.

"Everyone, be careful. I think this might be their hideout. The rest of you keep watch, I'm going there. The rest of you keep watch, I'm going there!"

After An Xiaohai finished speaking, he stepped on the gas and sped past.

"receive!"

The walkie-talkie crackled with confirmation from the crowd. Xu Tianyou pressed the call button, but said nothing.

An Xiaohai quickly arrived at the entrance of the underground parking garage. By then, the MPV had disappeared, and the security guard had already lowered the gate of the underground parking garage.

"Open the door!" An Xiaohai shouted to the security guard in the local dialect.

"There's an entrance fee here, young man!" the security guard replied, his eyes showing some wariness.

There's no way around it; there are many jewelry companies in the building, and each company has at least tens of thousands, and some even have several million pieces of jewelry. We have to be careful.

Without saying a word, An Xiaohai took out his wallet, pulled out a 10-yuan note, and handed it to the security guard: "Open the door, I'm in a hurry, I'll treat you to some tea!"

"Okay, boss!" The security guard smiled and took the money, then jogged to open the gate.

The security guard was so obedient not because An Xiaohai gave him 10 yuan, but because An Xiaohai had a thick stack of 100-yuan bills in his wallet.

This is definitely not some street thug; he must be a big boss who loves riding motorcycles!

Money paved the way, and it worked!

An Xiaohai entered the underground parking garage smoothly. Although he couldn't see the MPV, they must have just parked the car and turned off the headlights.

An Xiaohai saw the flashing headlights and heard a commotion.

An Xiaohai parked his motorcycle in a corner, took a deep breath, and slowly walked towards the noisy area.

The MPV was parked in a corner of the garage. A group of people walked past the elevator. They were wearing uniforms, and three of them were carrying shotguns. It seemed that they belonged to a licensed security company.

These people walked up to the MPV and took seven metal boxes off the vehicle, placing them on a trailer.

This MPV had previously stopped at six different locations, and the number of metal boxes roughly corresponds to the number of stops.

An Xiaohai walked towards them unhurriedly, just in the direction of the elevator.

As An Xiaohai drew closer, the people in uniforms became noticeably more nervous, and the three men with shotguns had already adopted a defensive stance.

When they were still seven or eight meters away, An Xiaohai suddenly stopped, turned around and walked to an MPV next to him to take a closer look. He even knocked on the car window.

The MPV that An Xiaohai was observing at that moment was almost identical to the one they had been following.

There were seven or eight other cars like that in the vicinity.

"Boss, is there anything I can help you with?" a man in uniform asked as he approached. His voice was neither humble nor arrogant, but full of wariness.

"I'm doing what I want, what's it to you?!" An Xiaohai said arrogantly.

"Of course it's my business, this car belongs to our company."

"Oh, your company's car? That's really nice! I also got one of those, a Toyota, but it feels nowhere near as good as yours. I'll throw it away!"

An Xiaohai said as he took off his gloves.

The man in uniform visibly relaxed: "Boss, we are a professional security company. This car has been specially reinforced. If you need any services from us, please feel free to contact me."

The person in uniform handed over a business card while speaking.

An Xiaohai took the business card and looked at it. He then took out his wallet and searched for it, but of course he couldn't find the business card. So he put the business card that the man had handed him into his wallet.

"I'm sorry, I didn't bring any business cards."

"It's okay, boss. Just contact me if you need anything. You can look at our cars as you like, but please don't knock on them. There's a vibration alarm in the cars, and it would be troublesome if my colleagues in the office upstairs saw it."

"Wow, this is so high-tech! If I take the train here, will your colleagues upstairs know?"

"Yes, as I said, we are a professional security company."

"Wow, impressive! Very professional indeed!" An Xiaohai gave a thumbs up.

"Okay, boss, take your time looking around. I have to go back to the company now."

"Do as you please, thank you!"

"Goodbye, boss."

The person in uniform bowed slightly to An Xiaohai and then turned and left. By this time, the team transporting the iron boxes had also disappeared.

An Xiaohai pretended to walk around the MPV twice more, memorizing the license plates of all the identical vehicles. There were nine such cars in total; seven were parked here, and two more were hidden in a deeper corner.

After memorizing the license plate number, An Xiaohai walked towards where he had parked his motorcycle. After taking a couple of steps, he seemed to suddenly remember something, stopped, turned around, and headed towards the elevator.

An Xiaohai went up to the lobby from the elevator, ran to the lobby coffee shop and ordered a coffee. He had just sat down when he saw the uniformed person who had spoken to him earlier looking at him from the elevator entrance not far away.

Now that they had made eye contact, An Xiaohai smiled at the person and waved gently.

The person in uniform smiled and bowed slightly to An Xiaohai again. The elevator arrived just then, and the person turned and got on.

Only then did An Xiaohai finally breathe a slight sigh of relief.
