Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

A prison is usually not flawed in its design; the real flaw lies in people's hearts.

Two prisoners escaped, one of whom was none other than the infamous Xu Tianyou!

This matter could not be concealed by the First Prison of Shenhai City, and it caused a huge uproar within the Shenhai City prison system.

Almost all of the police force in Shenhai City was deployed, with no fewer than a hundred sentries, both overt and covert, determined to bring Xu Tianyou and his companion to justice. However, due to the special nature of the case, this matter was not made public.

After all, Xu Tianyou is too dangerous, and involving the public could easily cause unnecessary losses.

The other escaped prisoner was named Luo Ji, the one who broke the steel bars on the bathroom window.

Luo Ji was supposed to escape from prison two days later. He probably went back to the toilet to grind the steel bars and found that the steel bars had been broken.

This meant that Luo Ji's secret had been discovered, and the person who discovered it had already escaped using the broken steel bars. Since the truth could no longer be concealed, Luo Ji had no choice but to immediately attempt a prison break.

Whether it was due to Xu Tianyou's luck or not, Luo Ji's escape from prison was successful this time. He was not discovered by the workers and taken to the police station, but disappeared completely like Xu Tianyou.

An Xiaohai speculated that Luo Ji must have gotten off the bus halfway through the journey. But none of that mattered anymore; what mattered was that Xu Tianyou had successfully gotten out.

An Xiaohai didn't know what kind of impact this would have on him, or on the city. But that was all he could do; he'd just have to take it one step at a time.

As Xu Tianyou's cellmates who spent every day with him, the remaining three in cell 232 naturally faced the most rigorous interrogation. All three, including An Xiaohai, claimed to know nothing, and the prison had no way to deal with them.

Almost everyone knew about the conflict between An Xiaohai and Xu Tianyou, so he was not a suspect. Investigators generally believed that Xu Tianyou and Luo Ji planned the prison break and carried it out together.

Luo Ji was a drug addict, the kind of person who, according to Xu Tianyou, was at the bottom of the drug trafficking food chain. To outsiders, it was perfectly normal for Xu Tianyou to escape from prison with him.

I wonder what kind of expression Luo Ji will have when he hears this news?

Wang Tiejun arrived that afternoon. The two drug dealers who escaped were brought in by Wang Tiejun, so he naturally had to make the trip.

"Are you really not involved in this?" Wang Tiejun looked at An Xiaohai with a suspicious expression.

"Captain Wang, why should I help Xu Tianyou? Give me a reason!" An Xiaohai said impatiently.

An Xiaohai wasn't truly impatient, but this was how a normal teenager would react after being wrongly accused. If he had remained too calm, Wang Tiejun would have become even more suspicious.

An Xiaohai didn't want to be suspected by Wang Tiejun. If this damaged his relationship with Wang Tiejun, the barrier that had been built up with great difficulty would definitely collapse.

"If you know anything about the situation, you must tell me, otherwise you will be in great danger. You should know best what kind of person Xu Tianyou is!" Wang Tiejun said with extreme seriousness.

Wang Tiejun had been secretly watching An Xiaohai. He knew that An Xiaohai and Xu Tianyou had fought in public several times, and the intense hostility between them could be real, or it could be an act.

If An Xiaohai was unaware of Xu Tianyou's prison break, then the conflict between the two is real. Now that Xu Tianyou has escaped, An Xiaohai's situation will become very dangerous.

If An Xiaohai knew about Xu Tianyou's prison break, then the conflict between the two was staged, with the aim of reducing An Xiaohai's suspicion after Xu Tianyou escaped.

If this is the case, An Xiaohai will also be in great danger. This danger does not refer to safety issues, but rather that An Xiaohai may be completely ruined because of it!

Wang Tiejun stared at An Xiaohai for a long time, but couldn't discern anything. After a while, Wang Tiejun breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not terrible if a drug dealer escapes; we can just catch him again. Wang Tiejun firmly believes that if he can catch him once, he can catch him a second time.

But if a teenager goes completely astray, he may never be saved.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. If you say you don't know, then you don't know. Have you heard any new information lately?"

"I've heard some rumors, but I can't be sure if they're true or not."

Tell me about it.

"I heard that someone is selling drugs at the Moonlight International Club, and in large quantities. But this news was said unintentionally by a drug addict who was being mocked. I don't know if it's true or just said in anger."

There was indeed a Taiwanese drug dealer distributing drugs at the Moonlight International Nightclub, but that case happened a year later. An Xiaohai wasn't sure if this guy had started yet, but he still mentioned it.

We need to find something for Wang Tiejun to do so he won't keep watching us. If Wang Tiejun really catches the person, it will be some kind of compensation for him.

"Okay, is there anything else?"

"No, the time for outdoor exercise in prison is too short, so I don't have many opportunities to contact them, and the information I can get is limited."

"I think that's already pretty good!" Wang Tiejun closed his notebook. "At least the accuracy of the information you provided was very high, and both intelligence reports were very accurate!"

"By the way, kid, you were the one who instigated Tian Qiaoguang's project, weren't you?"

"What do you mean by 'instigating'? That's too harsh. This is clearly a win-win situation! He can use this opportunity to earn merit and receive an award, and I can use this opportunity to get a reduced sentence. Why not? Besides, I'm short of money, you know that."

"If you really want a reduced sentence, I can help you."

Wang Tiejun spoke very seriously. An Xiaohai provided valid intelligence twice. If Wang Tiejun had reported it normally, An Xiaohai could have had at least one year off his sentence.

"Alright, thank you, Captain Wang! I don't want to explain the reason anymore, anyway, thank you."

"Alright, as you wish, you can go now. Taking too long is not good either, it might arouse suspicion."

"Okay, goodbye Captain Wang."

Wang Tiejun nodded, opened the door, and called the prison guards to take An Xiaohai away.

Watching An Xiaohai's departing figure, Wang Tiejun's brows gradually furrowed. He had a hunch that An Xiaohai was likely involved in Xu Tianyou's prison break.

"Let's hope this kid doesn't go astray..."

As An Xiaohai walked further and further away, a sense of vigilance rose in his heart. Wang Tiejun knew too much about the situation in the prison. Who was providing him with information? Was it an inmate or a prison guard?

There are likely still Wang Tiejun's informants in this prison, which is a double-edged sword, with both advantages and disadvantages.

It seems I need to be more careful from now on.

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and Xu Tianyou seemed to have vanished without a trace. Even Luo Ji, who escaped on the same day as him, had not been heard from at all.

Everyone involved in the manhunt knew that after so much time, the two men had probably already fled far away, and the hope of catching them again using the existing methods was extremely slim.

On the 8th day, all 232 people were released from their confinement and resumed their normal prison life.

Eight days later, An Xiaohai returned to the cafeteria and the first thing he saw was Qiu Peng with two big dark circles under his eyes. This guy hadn't reported Xu Tianyou's matter!

"It must have been tough on him, but it's better this way!" An Xiaohai said with a slight smile.

Meanwhile, a brand-new Mercedes-Benz W126 was parked in front of a slightly dilapidated fisherman's courtyard in Shatoujiao Village, attracting many villagers to watch.

This is the famous Tiger Head Mercedes! It's not something just anyone can afford to ride in. I wonder what important person has come.

The driver, dressed in a suit and wearing white gloves, got out of the car, jogged around halfway, opened the back door, and even reached out to block the door frame – his movements were very professional.

A young man with slicked-back hair and a stylish suit stepped out of the Mercedes-Benz. He was handsome, tall and slender, and wore thin black-rimmed glasses. He was both wealthy and refined.

The young man asked the driver to open the trunk, and personally took out the many exquisite gifts inside. After taking a deep breath and checking his own attire, the young man walked towards the fisherman's courtyard.

The surrounding villagers immediately gasped. This young man seemed to be looking for Chen Shuifen. This fisherman's courtyard belonged to Pan Zhuangzhuang, and now Chen Shuifen lived here with her elderly relatives.

Who exactly is this young man? When did the An family or the Pan family get to know such an important person? It's a pity that this young man has come at the wrong time; he's probably going to get into trouble soon!

The villagers were speculating and expressing their regret.

If An Xiaohai were there, he would be absolutely stunned.

Because this young man was none other than Xu Tianyou himself, who had escaped from the First Prison eight days ago!
