Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

When An Xiaohai arrived at the meeting room, only Chen Shuifen was outside the isolation window; Lin Xuan'er was not there.

An Xiaohai's heart skipped a beat, but he still forced a bright smile before walking over.

"mom."

An Xiaohai had just picked up the receiver and called out "Mom" when Chen Shuifen burst into uncontrollable tears.

The fact that her sentence had been increased could not be kept from Chen Shuifen. The prison's punishment notice had already been sent home. Now that she saw An Xiaohai with his face covered in bruises, how could Chen Shuifen possibly control herself?

"Okay, Mom, we only see each other once a month. Stop crying. I haven't talked to you in so long, I want to talk to you..."

An Xiaohai could only offer quiet words of comfort, and Chen Shuifen cried for a long time before she could barely control her emotions.

"Xuan'er wanted to come, but I insisted on not letting her. I know you must be injured again, and I didn't want her to see you like this..." Chen Shuifen murmured, as if talking in her sleep.

An Xiaohai frowned deeply; Chen Shuifen's condition was clearly not right.

"Mom, did something happen? If something did, you have to tell me. Don't make me overthink, don't make me guess, okay?"

"I understand," Chen Shuifen nodded. "Something has happened recently."

"What exactly happened?"

After biting her lip and hesitating for a long time, Chen Shuifen finally spoke up.

"Xiao Hai, this is a strange thing. These past few days, Jia Lao Er has been coming to my house to bother me. Sometimes he even stays at my house and freeloads."

I can't do anything about him, so I just have to put up with it, hoping he won't cause anything bigger.

Holy shit...

An Xiaohai was furious. He hadn't expected Jia Lao Er to pull this stunt at this time. This was truly unbearable!

When An Jia was being harassed by Liu Jun's two brothers, he was nowhere to be seen. Now that the trouble has just been resolved, he's back again. This shows just what kind of person he is.

"But something really happened yesterday..." Chen Shuifen paused here, and An Xiaohai's heart jumped into his throat.

"What happened, Mom? He didn't do anything to the family, did he?"

"No, not at all!" Chen Shuifen shook her head: "He was the one who got into trouble."

The day before yesterday, he left after having lunch at home and didn't show up until the evening. I was wondering why, because he would definitely have come over for dinner before.

I only found out early this morning that Jia Lao Er died, in the Chen family's rice paddy.

Later, the police came and cordoned off the area. They said Jia Lao Er was murdered, poisoned, but he had lunch at our house yesterday…”

"I see!……"

An Xiaohai's heart sank. This whole thing was too strange. Could it be that the mastermind behind it all had struck again? Had he managed to get back at his mother?

An Xiaohai's mind was in turmoil.

In the past, An Xiaohai wouldn't have been so worried. His mother had been kind and gentle all her life; she would never poison anyone.

Since she didn't do it, the police station will definitely be able to clear my mother's name.

But now An Xiaohai is no longer so sure. The complexity and darkness involved are beyond the imagination of ordinary people, especially honest people like his mother, who may unknowingly fall into their trap.

Of course, An Xiaohai couldn't tell Chen Shuifen the truth, otherwise Chen Shuifen might have been scared to death.

With limited time left for visits, An Xiaohai had to act swiftly and decisively.

"Mom, listen carefully, you must remember every single word I say!"

"Okay!" Chen Shuifen nodded repeatedly. Although An Xiaohai herself was still in prison, her son was her only pillar of support.

"No matter who asks you about this, you only need to answer that you don't know, and don't say anything more. The more you say, the more mistakes you will make."

Anyway, we're convinced that Jia Lao Er did eat lunch at our house, but you didn't poison him, and we don't know why he was poisoned.

No matter what the other person asks, just answer like this, and only answer like this. Don't say anything extra, and don't try to explain anything, understand?

"Understood!" Chen Shuifen let out a long breath and nodded. "Xiao Jing told me the same thing. Since you all say so, I'll listen to you."

"Xiao Jing?"

"Your classmate Xia Qing has come to visit me several times lately, each time bringing a lot of things. How come you didn't know? She said you knew!"

Chen Shuifen was already somewhat flustered about Xia Qing.

Xia Qing is so beautiful that every time she comes over, Chen Shuifen is afraid that Lin Xuan'er will find out. Now, seeing her son's reaction, Chen Shuifen is even more panicked.

……

"I...I know," An Xiaohai nodded quickly.

An Xiaohai knew that Xia Jing would go to Wang Tiejun's house to check on things, but he didn't expect that Xia Jing would go more than once.

However, this is good news.

Now that Xia Qing knows about Jia Lao Er, Wang Tie Jun will also know. Once Wang Tie Jun knows, it will be a kind of protection.

"Mom, Xia Qing is my senior from high school. She helped me a lot at school and she's quite capable. You can listen to what she says."

"That's good! That's good!" Chen Shuifen patted her chest and said, "But Xiao Hai, Xia Qing, she..."

"She's very pretty, isn't she?" An Xiaohai smiled, knowing that's what his mother meant.

Chen Shuifen is definitely on Lin Xuan'er's side.

Lin Xuan'er and An Xiaohai are childhood sweethearts and have long been accepted by An Xiaohai's family. Everyone is just waiting for the two of them to graduate from university and have a wedding banquet.

Now that Xia Qing, who is unbelievably beautiful, has appeared, how could Chen Shuifen not worry?

An Xiaohai knew very well that Chen Shuifen particularly hated third parties and despised fickle men. An Xiaohai's father had run away in this way, and this was the deepest pain hidden in Chen Shuifen's heart.

"Don't worry, Mom, Xia Qing and I are nothing special, we're just good friends."

She's so beautiful, the line of suitors could stretch from our house all the way to Tsim Sha Tsui. How could I possibly stand a chance? Don't worry, she wouldn't even look at your son."

"That's good!" Chen Shuifen breathed a sigh of relief. "But what's wrong with my son? We don't care!"

That's how mothers are; once they're sure the threat is gone, they start feeling indignant on their son's behalf again. In a mother's eyes, her son will always be the best.

The visiting time was quickly approaching, and Chen Shuifen left, turning back to look at herself every few steps.

An Xiaohai kept smiling and waving goodbye to Chen Shuifen, but the smile on his face immediately froze when Chen Shuifen's figure disappeared from sight.

"How many times has this happened?! When will this end?!" An Xiaohai gritted his teeth.

Looking at the iron bars everywhere, An Xiaohai clenched his fists. He could help Xu Tianyou get out of here, so this prison could not hold him either!

"I hope this is just an accident! I hope you'll stop now and not push me to the brink. If you do, I'll make everyone pay with their lives!"

The flames in An Xiaohai's eyes were surging, and if they were released, they would probably incinerate the heavens and destroy the earth!

That evening, Wang Tiejun appeared at just the right time.

"Kid, I'm starting to believe you a little. There might really be someone trying to harm you. Not only you, they want to harm your family too..." Wang Tiejun said, a cigarette dangling from his hand, his brow furrowed.

An Xiaohai didn't speak, his eyes were terrifyingly gloomy.

"Don't overthink it. Maybe it's just a coincidence. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on this and will make sure your mother isn't wrongly accused."

"I hope so..."

"I hope so?" Wang Tiejun glared at An Xiaohai. "I know what you're thinking, but that's enough!"

The world isn't as dark as you imagine; justice and fairness still exist, and you must believe that.

Does it exist?

"Of course it exists!" Wang Tiejun answered decisively, and took a deep breath as he stood up.

"Don't worry, I will follow this matter to the end, both for public and private reasons. I will definitely get to the bottom of it and clear your mother's name. Just wait and see."

"Okay, I'll wait and see," An Xiaohai nodded, his voice still terribly gloomy.

"Alright, I know it's no use saying anything. Just wait for my message and don't do anything, understand?"

Also, what exactly happened between you and Zhao De? Why did it escalate to such a serious situation, with extended sentences? What exactly happened between you two?

"It's nothing, I was just bullied. If I don't fight back, I'll just keep being bullied, and I don't want that, so I had no choice but to deal with it that way."

"Alright..."

Wang Tiejun felt helpless. The First Prison was not under his jurisdiction, and An Xiaohai was very opposed to exposing their relationship. Even if Wang Tiejun wanted to help, he was powerless to do so.

"I know you're not a police officer, and I can't hold you to the same standards as a police officer. But An Xiaohai, I hope you understand exactly what you're doing."

You must understand that you can still have a bright future after surviving this ordeal.

"I understand, thank you Captain Wang."

"I know you understand, otherwise you wouldn't have come to me!" Wang Tiejun took a deep breath, unsure whether he was saying this to An Xiaohai or to convince himself.

"Alright, I have to go now. Wait for my news. Don't do anything, promise me."

"Okay, I promise."

"Look me in the eyes and say it again!"

I promise you.

An Xiaohai looked into Wang Tiejun's eyes and made a serious promise.
