Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Wang Tiejun left, but An Xiaohai ultimately did not agree to his suggestion and insisted on staying in prison. Although Wang Tiejun was extremely surprised, he ultimately respected An Xiaohai's choice.

This time, An Xiaohai asked Wang Tiejun for an hour of alone time, which is far from enough under normal circumstances (ten minutes).

To be honest, An Xiaohai was tempted.

Wang Tiejun showed An Xiaohai another possibility in life. In short, Wang Tiejun summarized An Xiaohai's contributions in providing key intelligence three times and applied for a reduction in his sentence.

According to Wang Tiejun's assessment, as long as the judge does not abuse his power, An Xiaohai's sentence could be reduced by at least two years.

Then, with Wang Tiejun acting as guarantor, An Xiaohai was recommended to enter the police academy for targeted training as a special police officer. After graduation, he would go undercover, with his main target still being the Sea Hawk.

As for the prison, it's easy to handle. Once An Xiaohai finishes his sentence, just say he's being transferred to another prison. Wang Tiejun is very experienced in all the procedures and details and can handle it very well for him.

This certainly looks like a broad and prosperous road!

However, An Xiaohai resisted this enormous and intense temptation and still chose the original path.

The reason is simple: Wang Tiejun is too upright. An Xiaohai doesn't have much confidence that he can defeat the mastermind behind the scenes and ensure the safety of himself, his family, and his friends.

What's even more terrifying is that if we follow Wang Tiejun's suggestion, there are just too many people involved. If any link in the chain goes wrong, An Xiaohai will be doomed!

If that day really comes, it will be too easy for the mastermind to deal with An Xiaohai. All they need to do is release the news that An Xiaohai is Wang Tiejun's mole, and provide just a little bit of evidence, and An Xiaohai will disappear completely, leaving not a trace!

An Xiaohai will not accept Wang Tiejun's proposal until the mastermind behind this is dealt with.

It's better this way. An Xiaohai is hiding in the shadows, and the mastermind behind the scenes thinks he is slowly falling into the abyss of depravity, so he has relaxed his pressure, allowing An Xiaohai to catch his breath a little.

Now that one of the mastermind's henchmen in the First Prison has been eliminated, An Xiaohai has secretly accumulated some advantages. Judging from the current situation, it shouldn't be so easy for the mastermind to find a henchman in the First Prison.

After all, it takes a lot of courage to bend the law for personal gain.

The outcome is still uncertain!

Considering all the circumstances, An Xiaohai rejected Wang Tiejun.

"No rush. Once I get out, I'll take care of the mastermind behind it all, and then successfully take down the Sea Hawks before heading down that path!"

An Xiaohai took several deep breaths to calm his wildly beating heart.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye. When the prison guards came in to escort An Xiaohai back to his cell, they couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.

At this moment, An Xiaohai seemed to have gone through a difficult struggle. Cold sweat was dripping from his forehead, his prison uniform was almost half-soaked with sweat, and he looked somewhat exhausted.

"Captain Wang is quite something... Don't let An Xiaohai's young age fool you; he's usually so stubborn. I didn't expect him to be so scared after being questioned by Captain Wang. Tsk tsk!"

The cell seemed somewhat empty; Zhao De, Guo Xiangshui, Gui Liu, and Xu Yun were all absent.

Xu Yun is the leader of the loose organization in No. 27. He must have had an illness when he was a child, which made his face covered with pockmarks. His friends in the underworld call him Brother Yun, while his enemies call him Yun the Bitch or Pockmarked Yun.

Xu Yun was arrested for theft, but he wasn't just a petty thief. He stole from the vault of a jewelry store, and it's said that he went there in a dozen or twenty cars with a group of brothers.

Actually, calling this a robbery would be more accurate, since there were people in the vault at the time, but they were being held captive.

An Xiaohai also inquired about Guo Xiangshui's situation. After listening to Wang Tiejun's introduction, An Xiaohai couldn't help but frown.

Guo Xiangshui was brought in for smuggling. Because the amount of money involved in his case was not very large, and he had a good attitude in admitting his guilt, he was only sentenced to 5 years.

Based on the timeline, Guo Xiangshui will be released from prison in just over two years, even earlier than An Xiaohai.

An Xiaohai felt that something was wrong. Guo Xiangshui shouldn't just be involved in smuggling; otherwise, it would be difficult for him to have reached his current position in the First Prison.

There are smugglers, including several in Xu Yun's gang, but they are all at the bottom of the group and are always being ordered around.

Guo Xiangshui was completely different; he held a very high position.

Because An Xiaohai had already greatly increased Guo Xiangshui's danger level in his mind, he had observed him quite a bit on a daily basis.

An Xiaohai discovered that whether it was Zhao De, Xu Yun, or even Gui Liu, their respect for Guo Xiangshui was genuine and could even be described as awe.

This is very abnormal!

However, An Xiaohai kept this doubt to himself and did not express it.

Perhaps he really is just a smuggler, or perhaps he's a big shot in the smuggling world; that's the only explanation.

The news Wang Tiejun brought took An Xiaohai three or four days to fully calm down. Looking at the other prisoners laughing and joking in his cell, An Xiaohai let out a long sigh of relief.

After thinking it through, looking back at my emotional journey over the past few days, it seems a bit inexplicable, even a little funny.

Upon closer examination, the path Wang Tiejun offered was not truly a path to a fresh start for An Xiaohai, but rather a path that might lead him back to his past life trajectory.

The reason this proposal caused such a stir for An Xiaohai was that, subconsciously, he hoped that none of this had happened.

However, many things have already happened.

Even though An Xiaohai is a reincarnated person, the fact that he went to prison still happened, and it's impossible for him to return to his normal life trajectory.

Whether he chooses to continue this way or to follow the path offered by Wang Tiejun, An Xiaohai can never go back to the past.

Since that's the case, then let's take control of our own destiny! There's really nothing to worry about!

Lai Donglin recognized An Xiaohai as his elder brother, and he was inseparable from An Xiaohai all day long. He even submitted a report requesting to be transferred to a bunk closer to An Xiaohai, but the prison authorities did not approve his request.

An Xiaohai could clearly feel Lai Donglin's attachment to him. This attachment was not romantic love, but a feeling of spiritual reliance.

It's clear that Lai Donglin truly regarded An Xiaohai as his savior and his only hope in life.

Compared to Lai Donglin, Peng Yuangui was much more cunning. He never intended to acknowledge An Xiaohai as his elder brother. However, like Lai Donglin, he followed An Xiaohai around all day, essentially becoming another of An Xiaohai's younger brothers.

In this way, he not only benefited but also avoided the obligations that his underlings should have. Sometimes, he would even take advantage of his prior acquaintance with An Xiaohai to bully Lai Donglin a little.

An Xiaohai saw it all but didn't do anything about it.

Peng Yuangui is playing with fire! Lai Donglin is no longer the person he used to be who could be bullied at will. If you really ignite him and set him off, then you'll be asking for trouble.

That day was the annual physical examination day at the First Prison. An Xiaohai and the others had worked overtime and didn't come for their check-up until after watching the news that evening. An Xiaohai was the last person in the last batch.

"Hello, Dr. Liu!" An Xiaohai greeted Liu Xuemei with a big smile as soon as he stepped into the clinic.

"Hey! Hello! An Xiaohai!"

An Xiaohai's address of "Doctor Liu" made Liu Xuemei's eyes crinkle into crescent moons with laughter.
