Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"Okay! Shut up! I'll shut up!" Xu Tianyou seemed terrified, burying his head under the blanket as he spoke, as if trying to avoid An Xiaohai's murderous gaze.

An Xiaohai took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressing his rage, while a deep sense of despair rose in his heart.

Ten years! That's still too long...

Archives of Shenhai No.1 Prison

Wang Tiejun was going through the files. This time he came openly and legitimately to retrieve the files of drug traffickers in custody.

Wang Tiejun's real purpose was still An Xiaohai. He had no reason to access An Xiaohai's file before, and doing so would easily arouse suspicion.

Now that An Xiaohai is about to be transferred to Area A, it's only natural for Wang Tiejun to access his file.

The file contained detailed records; An Xiaohai's crimes were written on several pages. The more Wang Tiejun read, the more his brows furrowed.

According to the file, after An Xiaohai and Pan Zhuangzhuang arrived at the scene, they immediately got into a fight with Zhou Tie and his gang. They separated shortly afterward, with neither side gaining much advantage.

If things end there, it's not a big deal at all. Even if someone calls the police, in the end, it will probably just be a reprimand and education for both parties.

Zhou Tie is likely to face a much harsher punishment than An Xiaohai, since An Xiaohai and the others are all students, and An Xiaohai himself is a student at a key university. The police are more likely to side with An Xiaohai.

However, Zhou Tie was unwilling to let the matter rest and threatened to take revenge on Lin Xuan'er, which led to An Xiaohai and Pan Zhuangzhuang fighting with Zhou Tie and his gang again.

Then trouble struck. In the chaos, An Xiaohai stabbed Zhou Tie, who died from excessive blood loss.

"What a pity..." Wang Tiejun sighed inwardly.

If Zhou Tie had been stabbed during the first physical altercation, An Xiaohai would not have faced such severe punishment.

Unfortunately, the incident occurred during the second attack, by which time Zhou Tie and his gang had already stopped their abuse of Lin Xuan'er.

This changes the nature of the whole thing.

However, a ten-year sentence for this seems a bit too harsh.

"Zhou Tie..."

Wang Tiejun then looked through Zhou Tie's file, which showed that he was the son of Zhou Weiguang, the village head of Shatoujiao Village.

"Can a village chief really have that much power?" Wang Tiejun wondered.

Frame An Xiaohai is not an easy task; it would require connections with various government agencies, including the public security bureau, procuratorate, courts, and prison system.

Wang Tiejun expressed doubt: Could the village chief of such a small village as Shatoujiao have such great power?

An Xiaohai spoke with absolute certainty that someone wanted to harm him. Wang Tiejun initially did not believe him, but after he cracked down on the drug trafficking organization in Haifeng Town based on the information provided by An Xiaohai, Wang Tiejun's confidence began to waver.

After two meetings, An Xiaohai left a very deep impression on Wang Tiejun, far exceeding his expectations.

Calm, perceptive, meticulous, profound—yes, profound!

Wang Tiejun made eye contact with An Xiaohai several times, and always felt that his gaze was unfathomable.

An Xiaohai was admitted to the Department of Information Engineering at the National University of Defense Technology a year ago, ranking among the top ten in Haidong Province. He is definitely a top student!

If An Xiaohai weren't a prisoner at this time, Wang Tiejun would definitely have tried his best to bring him into the anti-drug squad, because from any perspective, An Xiaohai was an absolutely promising talent!

Would a young person like this have such wild thoughts? Would he inexplicably feel that someone wants to harm him?

Most likely not.

If someone truly wants to harm him, who is that person? And who possesses such power?

"Captain Wang, haven't you finished reading yet?" Yang Yuanbing's voice interrupted Wang Tiejun's thoughts as he pushed the door open and came in.

"Oh, that's about it," Wang Tiejun stood up and closed An Xiaohai's file. But just then, a sudden inspiration struck him, and he immediately opened An Xiaohai's file again to read it carefully.

"Lin Xuan'er... Lin Xuan'er! Why does this name sound so familiar?..." Wang Tiejun frowned.

"What's wrong, Captain Wang? Is there a problem?" Yang Yuanbing asked nervously. Wang Tiejun was known for being stubborn. He had secretly helped An Xiaohai switch cells. Had Wang Tiejun discovered something?

"It's nothing. Do you have any information on this Lin Xuan'er?"

"There should be one..." Yang Yuanbing walked over, searched through An Xiaohai's file, and finally found the page about Lin Xuan'er, which he handed to Wang Tiejun.

Lin Xuan'er's information was relatively simple, only recording basic information about her and her parents' names.

After glancing at it quickly, Wang Tiejun stuffed the document back into his hand.

"What's wrong, Captain Wang? Is there something wrong with Lin Xuan'er?"

"No problem. I'm just a little curious. It turns out that the girl An Xiaohai helped is only 18 years old. This is obviously puppy love."

"Yes, there is indeed a suspicion of early dating, but 18 years old is not young. In the past, she could have been a mother. It's just that now we advocate late marriage and late childbirth, haha."

Yang Yuanbing chuckled, secretly hoping that Wang Tiejun would get out of there as soon as possible.

"Alright, I'm leaving. Keep an eye on these guys for me, especially that Xu Tianyou. That kid is extremely unruly! I'll only feel at ease if he's here with you to await trial."

"Of course! Captain Wang, wait a moment, let me see you off!"

"No need, you can pack up. Thank you for your trouble!" Wang Tiejun said goodbye and left.

Yang Yuanbing also breathed a sigh of relief and started tidying up the files while whistling.

Yang Yuanbing was in a good mood. He had just met with that person and casually reported that An Xiaohai had been transferred to Area A.

At first, he was a little unhappy, but after thinking about it, he praised him instead. Moreover, his attitude towards An Xiaohai seemed to have changed a bit, and he didn't seem to be in such a hurry to get rid of him anymore.

It's easy to understand if you think about it carefully.

Once An Xiaohai goes to Area A and spends his days with drug dealers and murderers, what good can come of it? Even if he is released in the future, he will most likely go astray.

Yang Yuanbing had seen too many cases like this; in the end, An Xiaohai would only suffer an even more terrible death.

"They really won't rest until they've killed him, and they want him to suffer a terrible death... Is it really necessary? What kind of deep-seated hatred or grudge could they possibly have?"

Yang Yuanbing couldn't help but shake his head. None of this concerned him. He had no ill intentions towards An Xiaohai. He was only doing all this to curry favor with that person and to advance his career in the future.

Even if we take a step back and say that the transfer to Area A was An Xiaohai's own suggestion.

"This An Xiaohai is a bit strange!" Yang Yuanbing shook his head. Lately, the way An Xiaohai looked at him would keep popping into his mind and wouldn't go away.

"And who is the person helping An Xiaohai from behind?" Yang Yuanbing couldn't help but ponder.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend... So the person behind An Xiaohai must be that person's political enemy?... Political struggles are the most terrifying thing. I hope I don't get dragged into it..."

Damn it, could Wang Tiejun be on the other side? ...No, he shouldn't be. Wang Tiejun is notoriously stubborn; he wouldn't easily take sides...

Hmm~ But who knows! Who knows if Wang Tiejun's behavior is just an act? ...

How terrifying!

Yang Yuanbin couldn't help but pat his chest. Thinking about it carefully, An Xiaohai and the person behind An Xiaohai who gave him ideas were both terrifying!

Simply changing cells made the other side relax their attitude a lot, which gave An Xiaohai room to maneuver, but only if An Xiaohai could hold his ground there.

However, since An Xiaohai dared to take the initiative to ask to go there, he must have confidence in handling the situation.

One is the son of the village chief of a small fishing village, and the other is the son of a widowed fisherwoman. It's really strange that both of them are involved in such a big relationship!

"Forget it, I'd better play it safe. I can't afford to offend either of them..."

Yang Yuanbing made up his mind to treat An Xiaohai better in the future. Anyway, that person doesn't know, so it's best not to offend either side!

Wang Tiejun, who was sitting in the car as he drove away, was now laughing so hard he was doubled over.

"Hehe, interesting! Kid, who told you that I, Wang Tiejun, wouldn't use connections? I'll go and open a back door for you right now, and I'll do it openly and honestly!"

"Lin Xuan'er really is Jian Guo's daughter, what a coincidence!"
