Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

The workshop toilet used to be completely exposed, but now it's piled with building materials, providing Xu Tianyou with a hiding place.

Xu Tianyou quickly took off his prison uniform and put on a gold-plated jacket, floral shirt, gold watch, and gold wig that he had prepared in advance.

"Isn't this way too flashy...?" Xu Tianyou could imagine his current appearance.

Without thinking too much, Xu Tianyou found his sunglasses, put them on, took a deep breath, and followed An Xiaohai's instructions to walk out of his hiding place in a grand manner.

The scene outside was somewhat chaotic. Two cement mixer trucks were rumbling as they poured the mixed cement mortar into the reinforced steel molds. A dozen or twenty prisoners were working nearby, and several prison guards were monitoring the situation from a few corners.

Xu Tianyou's appearance was very eye-catching, and he was noticed by many people as soon as he appeared.

Many of the outside workers were not surprised; instead, they bowed and greeted him. Xu Tianyou, following An Xiaohai's instructions, did not respond and remained arrogant.

A prison guard was standing in front of him. Xu Tianyou was very nervous, but he still grinned and offered him a pack of Polo cigarettes. The guard didn't take the cigarettes, but waved him away, telling him to leave as soon as possible.

Xu Tianyou, of course, dared not do anything reckless at this point, so he immediately put away his cigarettes and left with a smile.

"Damn, it actually works!"

As Xu Tianyou strolled casually toward the designated location, he thought to himself, "I really don't know how An Xiaohai came up with this plan, and more importantly, how he knew all this information..."

Upon arriving at the designated location, Xu Tianyou stopped.

This location is right near the prison's iron gate, a very open area where almost all the guard posts can see us. The prison guards on the two closest posts have clearly noticed Xu Tianyou and have already turned around to face us.

Xu Tianyou's legs felt a little weak, but he knew he couldn't back down at this moment!

So, as An Xiaohai had instructed, Xu Tianyou continued to wave and gesturing to the prison guards on the sentry post with a grin. The guards on the sentry post also waved back to Xu Tianyou, signaling him to leave quickly.

Xu Tianyou was caught in a dilemma: to leave or not to leave. He could only continue to grin and pretend he didn't understand what the other party meant. The prison guards on the sentry post, of course, wouldn't stand idly by; one of them had already come down to guard.

Xu Tianyou could only endure it; the time was truly unbearable!

Just then, a figure hurried out from inside the prison area. Xu Tianyou's eyes lit up immediately, and he greeted the figure with a smile.

"Captain Qiu, you must be Captain Qiu? I'm Xiao Fang, Mr. Fang's son. We've met before, do you remember me?" Xu Tianyou greeted him while warmly offering him a cigarette.

Nobody remembers you!

Qiu Peng was very irritable. His eyes were so uncomfortable that he couldn't see Xu Tianyou clearly. He could only see that the kid had dyed his hair a striking blonde.

However, Qiu Peng knew this Little Fang. His father, Big Fang, had a good relationship with Warden Huang. He was said to be involved in packaging non-performing assets outside the prison and had connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles. It was not easy to offend such a person.

Qiu Peng took the cigarette, but didn't light it; he simply put it in his pocket. He had accepted the favor, and it wasn't convenient to smoke now.

"Mr. Fang, what can I do for you? I'm a little unwell right now, as you can see, I need to go back and change my clothes."

"Of course I have good things to discuss with Captain Qiu! It was the warden who told me to come to you, hehe! Captain Qiu, what's up?" Xu Tianyou thought to himself, secretly pleased. That kid did a good job; he'd get his share of the benefits once he got out.

"One of the prisoners was being clumsy and spilled food on me. I need to go back to my dorm to wash my face and change my clothes," Qiu Peng explained patiently.

Qiu Peng was quite pleased with being addressed as Captain Qiu.

Qiu Peng's proposal to promote the team leader was only approved at an internal work meeting, and not many people know about it. The fact that this blond guy even knows about it shows that they do indeed have a close relationship with Warden Huang.

This is actually a beautiful misunderstanding.

An Xiaohai asked Xu Tianyou to call Qiu Peng "captain" simply to make it sound better, just like how everyone in the business world calls someone "boss." Little did he know that this would turn out to be a lucky coincidence.

As for whether Qiu Peng would fall into their trap, An Xiaohai judged that he most likely would.

Qiu Peng is a corrupt cop. With people like him, you should just talk about interests.

Given the relationship between General Manager Fang and the prison warden, Qiu Peng probably wouldn't refuse Xu Tianyou. In fact, he might even be on the same side as the prison warden behind General Manager Fang.

"That was so careless! This criminal must be punished properly! But Captain Qiu, our matter is quite urgent, we need to discuss it immediately. The main problem is that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we can make this much money in one go! What do you think…"

Xu Tianyou casually gestured a number with his hand, which Qiu Peng could barely make out; it was the number 8.

"8000 or 8?... Mr. Fang is such a big boss, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to come here to see me for 8000 yuan, would he? It should be at least 8!..."

A series of thoughts raced through Qiu Peng's mind, and suddenly the blond-haired boy in front of him seemed somewhat agreeable.

"Sure, but I'm really not available right now. How about I go to my dorm and take care of things first? I need to take a shower and change my clothes, and then we can find somewhere to have a proper talk."

Qiu Peng pointed to the marks on his body and said that there wasn't much soup on his clothes, but it was all over his face and hair, especially his eyes, which were still very uncomfortable.

"No need to look for a place, my Captain Qiu, just go to your dormitory, there's no one else there anyway. This matter should be handled quickly, the other party is still waiting for my reply, I'm afraid that if we delay too long, something will go wrong."

Qiu Peng hesitated for a moment.

It's not convenient for outsiders to go to the prison guards' quarters, but after thinking about it, I felt it wasn't a big deal. Anyway, he's connected to Warden Huang, so even if people find out, I'm not afraid. I just don't know what this guy is up to, that he's in such a hurry.

"Alright, as long as Mr. Fang doesn't mind! Come with me."

As Qiu Peng spoke, he was already walking towards the iron gate.

Xu Tianyou hurriedly followed with a smile, his heart pounding in his chest. Everything went as An Xiaohai had predicted, so smoothly it seemed almost unreal.

But this is a good thing!

Xu Tianyou subtly touched the dagger hidden in his jacket; the cold, hard feel of the dagger reassured him.

This was Xu Tianyou's last resort. If Qiu Peng discovered anything amiss, he could use this dagger to kill him, then change into Qiu Peng's clothes and escape.

"Yes, let's do it!"

Xu Tianyou glanced at the sentry posts out of the corner of his eye. Everything seemed normal. Ever since he started talking to Qiu Peng, the sentry posts had stopped paying attention to him.

Qiu Peng opened the two iron gates of the prison area one after another. When he opened the gates, Xu Tianyou paid special attention to which two keys he used.

An Xiaohai specifically instructed that this was something to be very careful about. If they tried the keys one by one in full view of everyone, it would most likely arouse suspicion.

Xu Tianyou wholeheartedly agreed; indeed, details determine success or failure!

In the past few days, Xu Tianyou has become very familiar with those keys, so he knows exactly which two keys Qiu Peng used. Of the remaining three keys, An Xiaohai is certain that one of them is for opening the outermost small door.

So the remaining two keys correspond to the last two iron gates, so it's a choice between two. It's normal to use the wrong key once, and it shouldn't arouse suspicion.

"Xiao Hai, Xiao Hai, you're absolutely amazing!"

After successfully passing through the two iron gates, Xu Tianyou thought to himself with these feelings.
