Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Qiu Peng collapsed to the ground, trying several times to grab onto something to stand up, but he failed each time.

Qiu Peng simply gave up struggling and lay on the spot, panting heavily.

Extreme joy begets sorrow!

Qiu Peng thought he had been very careful, but he never expected to suffer such a huge setback. This setback was so severe that it could potentially ruin him forever!

"What should I do? What should I do?..." Qiu Peng was in a state of utter confusion.

This matter has now escalated to the point of being out of control. Prison guards are issued firearms, but they are absolutely not allowed to take them out of the prison without permission. To take something out of the prison, a report explaining the reason must be submitted, and it must be approved through multiple layers of review.

Qiu Peng came to the appointment secretly, or rather, to arrest Xu Tianyou secretly. Naturally, he would have brought a gun, and he certainly hadn't reported it beforehand!

Firstly, there was no reason to submit a report. Secondly, Qiu Peng thought that if nothing happened, there would be no problem. If he caught Xu Tianyou, the leaders would choose to ignore the issue of him bringing a gun out without permission.

Of course, even if Xu Tianyou is captured, it doesn't necessarily mean that they will reveal that they are carrying a gun.

But now, the gun is gone!

Qiu Peng could never explain this matter clearly. Qiu Peng himself was not clean, so how could he explain it?

Losing a gun is an extremely serious matter for a police officer. Not only will he be stripped of his uniform, but if the gun causes even bigger problems, he will also be held accountable!

In Qiu Peng's view, this gun was bound to cause trouble because it had fallen into Xu Tianyou's hands!

Who is Xu Tianyou? A madman!

Qiu Peng closed his eyes in anguish. He was a prison guard who was arrogant and had offended many criminals in the prison, including serious offenders who had no hope of ever getting out of prison!

If Qiu Peng were to go to jail one day, it's easy to imagine what would happen!

At that point, it will truly be a situation where one cannot live and cannot die.

"No! This can't be!..." Thinking of this, Qiu Peng shuddered several times and finally mustered some strength to get up from the ground.

Clinging to a sliver of hope, Qiu Peng meticulously checked the house inside and out again. After the inspection, Qiu Peng was utterly despondent.

The gun is definitely not here; we couldn't find it! It must have been taken by that woman named Sister Feng!

Qiu Peng got into the car blankly and started it, not knowing where to go. Before he knew it, the car had arrived at Hongyun Teahouse.

Although he knew the chances were slim, Qiu Peng still fantasized about finding Sister Feng at Hongyun Teahouse. So, this glimmer of hope in his subconscious drove him to drive there.

Just as Qiu Peng was about to get out of the car, his gaze suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure walking into Hongyun Teahouse. Qiu Peng, who had just opened the car door, suddenly froze.

That person is a leader in the prison administration department!

Regardless of why this leader is here or what he's doing here, Qiu Peng definitely can't cause trouble here today.

The bigger the commotion, the faster he'll die! If Qiu Peng dares to reveal what Hongyun Teahouse has been doing behind the scenes, he'll die even faster!

Qiu Peng was utterly devastated and slammed the car door shut.

"Xu Tianyou! I will never forgive you!"

After calming down for an unknown period of time, Qiu Peng roared in the car, attracting the attention of passersby who unconsciously moved away, clearly having heard his shout.

"There's no other way, this is the last option..." Qiu Peng gritted his teeth, started the car, and sped away.

---------

The next day, the atmosphere at Shenhai City No. 1 Prison suddenly became tense. The guards' shifts were disrupted, with prisoners being taken out for questioning and guards being called to the leadership's office for talks.

Several days later, the situation not only failed to improve, but worsened.

Many were baffled. Nothing major seemed to have happened at the First Prison recently, right? The inmates were even more confused; this was too strange!

The only ones who knew the truth were An Xiaohai and Zhao De.

An Xiaohai would never tell anyone, and Zhao De, realizing the seriousness of the matter, also chose to keep his mouth shut.

In reality, things were far more violent than the inmates of Prison No. 1 felt!

Qiu Peng disappeared, and he disappeared with a gun.

The first reaction of the leaders of the First Prison was: Was Qiu Peng murdered?

After all, Qiu Peng is a prison guard with a rather flamboyant style, which has offended some desperate criminals, making him highly likely to face retaliation.

The leaders of the First Prison notified the relevant departments and requested that they investigate Qiu Peng's whereabouts as soon as possible. As a result, the public security and armed police immediately began their operation, and finally the news came from the port.

On the afternoon of April 6, Qiu Peng, carrying a large amount of cash and forging documents from the First Prison, went to Honggang through the Shenhu Port under the pretext of carrying out official business!

This news was like a bombshell in the deep-sea city's political and legal system!

This matter couldn't be kept secret any longer; Qiu Peng was very likely carrying a gun! The Shenhai Municipal Party Committee knew they couldn't cover it up, so they had no choice but to report the matter.

The provincial leaders were furious and ordered a thorough investigation. This investigation uncovered a series of problems involving Qiu Peng:

Putting everything else aside, Qiu Peng owns five properties, all in upscale neighborhoods, with a total value exceeding one million yuan! Even if they are all financed by loans, it would take hundreds of thousands of yuan for a down payment to acquire them!

Where did this ordinary prison guard, who had just been promoted to squad leader, get so much money?!

As the investigation deepened, more and more things about Qiu Peng were brought to light, causing a major shock throughout the prison and political and legal systems of Shenhai City.

On May 1st, Labor Day, prisoners had a day off. As usual, many prisoners gathered in the media room to watch television.

This time, the prisoners' request was strange. They didn't ask to watch entertainment programs, but instead asked to watch the news on Haixi Provincial Satellite TV.

Although the prison guard on duty was puzzled, he still complied with the prisoners' request, since watching the news was not an unreasonable demand.

The news programs on Haixi Province's provincial radio station mostly talked about things in Haixi Province. The prisoners were drowsy listening to them, but no one suggested changing the channel.

Just as the prison guards were becoming increasingly puzzled, a news report suddenly came on:

According to this station, a heinous case involving a police officer's embezzlement, dereliction of duty, and escape with a gun occurred last month at the No. 1 Prison in Shenhai City, Haidong Province.

This case is extremely serious in nature and has a very serious impact. It has attracted great attention from the leaders of Haidong Province, who have repeatedly stated at relevant work meetings that the police officers involved must be brought to justice.

Qiu Peng, the police officer involved in the incident, is a 43-year-old male from Shenhai City, Haidong Province, and is divorced.

Before the news broadcast was even finished, the television was abruptly switched off, and the prisoners, who had been listening intently, immediately erupted in protest.

No wonder things have been so strange in the prison lately! No wonder we haven't seen Captain Qiu for a while! Turns out something really exciting happened, this is thrilling!

"What are you all making a fuss about? Shut up!"

The on-duty prison guard flew into a rage, turned off the television, and berated the prisoners. But by this point, the prisoners were no longer willing to listen to him; instead, the commotion grew even louder.

In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.

With such a scoundrel among the usually high and mighty prison guards, the few remaining vestiges of their authority in the eyes of the prisoners have been completely shattered!

Who would listen to the prison guards at a time like this? Or rather, at a time like this, all the prisoners are taking advantage of the situation to vent their emotions without restraint.

The unrest continues!

The prison guards present were unable to quell the unrest, and even resorted to physical violence, which only escalated the riot, as prisoners who were not in the video room also joined in!

The prisoners smashed various items in their cells, frantically pounded on the locked iron doors, and shouted loudly, venting their frustrations as if it were an apocalyptic carnival!
