Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

The word "father" was extremely vague to An Xiaohai, to the point that in his nightmares, his father's image was just a tall, phantom.

An Xiaohai only vaguely remembered some things his father said to him when he was very young, but he couldn't recall what his father looked like no matter what, even though An Xiaohai had hyperthymesia.

There is a folk saying that children are born with some innate spiritual energy, which is why many children can see things that adults cannot.

However, as children grow up, their innate spiritual energy is also lost until it is completely depleted, and they become true mortals. As a result, most of their memories from that time will also disappear.

Therefore, almost everyone can't remember things from their childhood, especially things before the age of five or six.

Far away.

An Xiaohai's only memory of his father was that he would often take him to the beach. However, most of the time, his father would let An Xiaohai play by himself while he sat on the beach staring blankly at the sea.

Sometimes Dad would talk to An Xiaohai, but most of his words were obscure and difficult to understand.

For example, there's the saying: "There is no road on the sea, because the sea itself is the road."

Aside from these, An Xiaohai couldn't recall any other information about his father. All that remained in his memory was Chen Shuifen secretly wiping away tears as she took his father's photo from the deepest part of the wardrobe late at night.

An Xiaohai also harbored deep resentment towards his father.

In another time and space, during An Xiaohai's saddest and most desperate moment, he also longed for his father to appear and protect him from the wind and rain.

But no, not even once!

Until An Xiaohai died unjustly, his father never appeared again.

To say that An Xiaohai's father did nothing would be unfair to him, as he had someone bring him 30,000 yuan after An Xiaohai was released from prison.

But Chen Shuifen was already on her deathbed at that time, and An Xiaohai was utterly despondent, so he didn't even let the person in. All the warmth An Xiaohai had ever felt from his father's side had come from his grandparents.

"My dad has a younger brother, and I have an uncle. How come I've never heard my grandparents mention this before?"

An Xiaohai felt more and more uneasy.

Logically speaking, this should never have happened. An Xiaohai is very close to his grandparents, who are very reasonable people.

Back then, after An Xiaohai's father abandoned his wife and son, his grandparents rushed over from the provincial capital without saying a word. They gave up everything in the provincial capital and settled down in a nearby town, taking care of An Xiaohai and his mother wholeheartedly.

An Xiaohai knew very well that the two elderly people were not so much taking care of him as they were atoning for their son's sins. But An Xiaohai had never heard the two elderly people mention that he had an uncle.

This is very abnormal!

Their uncle must be exceptionally talented; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get into university in the very first year after the college entrance examination was reinstated. Yet, they had such an outstanding son, so why did the elderly couple remain so secretive about him, never mentioning him?

Chen Shuifen was the same; she never revealed a word about it.

An Xiaohai suddenly realized that so much mystery was hidden around him. If it weren't for his rebirth, this mystery might have continued to drift in the dark until everything was completely obliterated!

Call ~

An Xiaohai let out a long breath, and his thoughts began to clear up.

Everything has a cause!

There must be a reason why I have suffered such injustice and torment. Only by finding the reason can we find the right solution.

To find the real reason, we must not limit our focus to one point; we must broaden our horizons completely to increase our chances of finding the truth.

We can no longer focus solely on Zhou Tie; we should also carefully examine ourselves and the people around us!

An Xiaohai bit his lip, his brows remaining furrowed.

"Perhaps the danger comes from Dad's side. Could it be that they've offended someone, and that person is retaliating against them?..."

These are clearly things that Pan Zhuangzhuang can't help with; it would be best for An Xiaohai to handle them himself.

An Xiaohai felt that if he asked his grandparents about his father and uncle, the two old people would probably tell him.

But now that An Xiaohai is in prison, he has no way to ask.

"Should I ask during a prison visit?...?"

It's not impossible, but that would be too rushed, and the environment would be too restrictive. The two elderly people might not talk to An Xiaohai about these things in this kind of setting, and even if they did, they certainly wouldn't go into such detail.

"Never mind, I have to ask about this!" An Xiaohai quickly made up his mind.

This matter is so important that it will affect An Xiaohai's entire judgment and the course of the entire event, so we must find out the truth.

Let's skip Grandma, her health is too poor, but Grandpa is still quite healthy, so let's ask him separately.

Finally, when the time came to make a phone call, An Xiaohai immediately dialed Pan Zhuangzhuang's number and told him that he wanted to see his grandfather alone, and that he would handle things properly.

All that's left is a long wait.

For the first time, An Xiaohai felt a strong desire to get out; the restrictions he faced in prison were simply too great.

"God, please stop playing tricks on me... No, I can't complain about God. He's been very kind to me; at least I have a chance to start over. I'm sorry!"

-------

In the middle of the month, two people left cell number 27: one was released after serving his full sentence, and the other was executed. This event caused cell number 27 to remain silent for five or six days.

In this extremely oppressive atmosphere, An Xiaohai gained a deeper understanding of the prisoners' mentality.

Looking at the others around them, one can imagine how intensely the fear and madness burning within many of them at that moment!

In this light, the perversion and violence these people exhibit in their daily lives are not so difficult to understand. They are also giving up on themselves, only the way they express it is different from what An Xiaohai used to do.

As the saying goes, "What goes out must come in," and soon cell number 27 welcomed two new inmates.

Both are said to be newcomers, having just been sentenced in April in Beijing and sent back to their hometowns to serve their sentences. They are two important figures.

This news was released by Xu Yun.

Prisoners often spread similar rumors in a roundabout way to prove that their methods are unconventional and thus gain the respect of other prisoners.

"Big shot? What big shot? Damn it, who isn't a big shot locked up here?!" Zhao De was very dismissive, but what he was thinking was: Who in the underworld would be locked up here?

However, when two new inmates appeared in cell number 27 under the escort of prison guards, Zhao De decisively chose to keep quiet.

Looking into those two pairs of eyes that occasionally flashed with a hidden fierce light, An Xiaohai's heart skipped a beat.

These two men can indeed be considered big shots. Just a year ago, they were involved in a train robbery that shocked the world!

I never expected it to be them!
