Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

In that instant, a thousand thoughts raced through An Xiaohai's mind, but only for a moment, and the answer he had already prepared slipped out:

"Is that even a question? She was definitely framed! I'm innocent! But that idiot dared to bully my girl, I'll get him sooner or later!"

"Ma Zi" means girlfriend or wife, a term that originated from Hong Kong and Taiwanese films.

"That's true. What kind of man can't even protect his own woman? I wouldn't be able to swallow this insult either."

But you were too impulsive. There are many ways to kill him. You shouldn't have killed him in front of so many people. You were just unlucky!

But young people are prone to impulsiveness, that's normal. That pretty girl is lucky to have you treat her like that.

If a man is willing to kill and go to jail for my daughter, then I'll be at ease.

It's a pity she only made shady friends; not a single one of them was responsible!

Guo Xiangshui continued talking to himself.

For a moment, An Xiaohai couldn't figure out Guo Xiangshui's true intentions and could only respond with silence.

"By the way, Ah Hai, that Lai Donglin is obviously a sucker, why are you helping him? Can you tell Uncle Shui the truth?"

"Water fish" means a great traitor.

"Because he is an actuary accountant."

"Actuarial accountant? Just a more skilled accountant?"

"This... is not the same thing..." An Xiaohai explained the difference between an actuarial accountant and an accountant to Guo Xiangshui.

"So that's how it is! I didn't expect this liar to be such a big shot! We all misjudged him. Luckily, Ah Hai, you know a lot, hehe!"

Guo Xiangshui chuckled, no one knew what he was up to.

An Xiaohai was certain that Guo Xiangshui would be interested in Lai Donglin, after all, his assets were definitely substantial. If someone like Lai Donglin could help him with ideas or even manage his assets directly, it would be a tremendous help to him.

Guo Xiangshui wanted to talk about something more, but suddenly there was a soft knocking on the iron door of the cell, which meant that the prison guards had noticed their conversation and were reminding them to shut up.

Guo Xiangshui promptly shut his mouth, and soon began to snore softly.

The prisoners had to get up at 6:30 every day, and most of them had to do heavy labor every day, which made them very tired.

Although An Xiaohai had his eyes closed, he was wide awake.

Guo Xiangshui went on and on, he must have had his purpose, but An Xiaohai couldn't figure out what his intentions were for the time being.

In the blink of an eye, An Xiaohai has been in prison for half a year.

Although the past six months have been extremely difficult, An Xiaohai's experiences have been far more exciting and enriching than what he experienced on the university campus.

That's quite ironic!

In another time and space, An Xiaohai, in despair, once saw a saying that the meaning of life lies in experience.

Every life is originally the same; the difference between lives lies in their experiences. The more experiences one has, the richer the meaning of life becomes, and the richer the meaning of life, the more valuable it is.

To put it simply, life is about experiencing.

Experiences themselves are neither good nor bad, only novel or not. Therefore, whatever a person experiences is a gift of life and an integral part of life, and should be gladly accepted and enjoyed.

When An Xiaohai saw this statement, it was as if a drowning person had suddenly found a foothold. This theory supported him through the last few years until Lin Xuan'er left.

"No! This is not how life should be!" An Xiaohai, lying on the bed with his eyes closed and motionless, shook his head slightly in his consciousness.

"Life belongs to me; it only comes once, it's so precious. I don't want any bad experiences; I want life to unfold according to my own will!"

This is what life should be like!

"Since God has given me a second chance, I must seize it!"

An Xiaohai was now almost certain that the person who had secretly handed him the knife was Jian Long from the neighboring Xiayong Village, with a probability of over 90%!

Although An Xiaohai did not see the person's face, after careful consideration, he recalled that the person had a faint, peculiar scent.

It's easy to confirm whether it's Jian Long or not. All An Xiaohai needs to do is find a way to get close to him after he leaves and check if he has that smell on him.

However, the mastermind behind bribing the prison guards to murder him might not be him; it's very likely that the blame will fall on Zhou Tie, the very person he killed.

Although Zhou Tie's father, Zhou Weiguang, is the village chief of Shatoujiao Village, he most likely does not have that much power. There must be a deeper reason behind this.

Either Zhou Weiguang happened to meet some important person, or Zhou Tie's background is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

There are only these two reasons.

An Xiaohai has already asked Pan Zhuangzhuang to secretly inquire about this matter.

Wang Tiejun thought Pan Zhuangzhuang was a bit simple-minded, but that wasn't actually the case. Simplicity was just a facade for Pan Zhuangzhuang; An Xiaohai knew all too well how shrewd he was.

It's not just pretty women who can lie; seemingly honest men can be just as deceitful!

An Xiaohai felt reassured leaving this matter to Pan Zhuangzhuang.

Although that's probably how things are, An Xiaohai had a vague feeling that there were still many things that weren't right, and many things simply couldn't be explained reasonably.

For example, why did Xu Tianyou call himself "Idol Brother"? Why did he show such great kindness and trust towards him? The most inexplicable thing is why he set fire to his own house?

It seems that Xu Tianyou took advantage of the situation to get his own satisfaction while also helping An Xiaohai vent his anger.

An Xiaohai initially thought so too, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

The key lies in Xu Tianyou's personality.

Xu Tianyou can accept being beaten or scolded, but he will never accept being called stupid!

Burning down someone else's house isn't stupid, but burning down the wrong house is. Given Xu Tianyou's character, he shouldn't do something that would damage his reputation.

What Xu Tianyou is more likely to do is lead his men to attack Zhou Weiguang's house directly; that's his style.

Don't give me that excuse about protecting An Xiaohai and pretending to be his mortal enemy. What wouldn't Xu Tianyou do when he's insane?

Xu Tianyou was very considerate of An Xiaohai's feelings, which was quite strange in itself!

Also, what exactly happened to Jia Lao Er? How did he die? Who did it?

An Xiaohai knew his mother, Chen Shuifen, all too well. She was gentle and mild-mannered, and had never argued with anyone in her life. This was her most endearing trait, and also what worried An Xiaohai the most.

An Xiaohai refused to believe that Chen Shuifen was responsible for Jia Lao Er's death.

Besides these, there are many other things that raise suspicions, such as Hu Haikong, who was a powerful figure in the business world, and Guo Xiangshui, who was lying on his head.

All these things seem to have no connection, but An Xiaohai always felt that they were subtly related!

"Motives... it's all about motives!"

"What exactly is their motive for causing so much trouble and such a big mess?" An Xiaohai's brows furrowed even more deeply.

"I don't want to think about it anymore, I need to rest!" An Xiaohai forced himself to clear his mind.

If you keep pondering things endlessly like this, it's easy to get stuck on trivial details, a feeling An Xiaohai has experienced firsthand.

If you can't figure it out, think about it again tomorrow.

"But speaking of which, it seems Qiu Peng has pulled through lately. No way, seeing you living so comfortably just makes me uncomfortable!"
