Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Only the strong know how to fight; the weak don't even have the right to fail, they are born to be conquered.

In the outside world, the strong are those who emerge from within, but in the dog-eat-dog world of prison, the vast majority of the strong are those who emerge from without.

Here, inner strength is rarely seen, but outward strength is undeniable!

This is one of the reasons why An Xiaohai chose to fight Li Yong.

Often, when we encounter trouble, we can't avoid it by simply hiding, nor can we get rid of it by begging. Only by demonstrating our strength at the right time can we possibly eliminate trouble completely.

Although Li Yong was ruthless, he was getting on in years, and after Jia Ming's incident came to light, he hadn't been able to get proper rest.

An Xiaohai had been training specifically for so long, and these three days had been spent under Liu Xuemei's meticulous care, so his physical condition was excellent.

If he still can't beat Li Yong under these circumstances, An Xiaohai should just admit defeat.

The battle was almost without any suspense. Li Yong was already somewhat dazed, and An Xiaohai's appearance was indeed too deceptive, causing Li Yong to seriously underestimate his opponent.

As soon as Li Yongcai came up, An Xiaohai kicked him hard in the groin, causing him to curl up on the ground like a shrimp in pain. Then An Xiaohai straddled him and beat him with his fists!

Kicking someone in the groin is considered unsportsmanlike conduct? Give me a break! Don't you know where you are?! There are no rules here; it's a fight to the death, where anything goes!

An Xiaohai's fists rained down like raindrops, and Li Yong's face was already a bloody mess. An Xiaohai still refused to give up, gritting his teeth and punching again and again. Blood splattered everywhere with each swing of his fists, a shocking sight!

An Xiaohai didn't look at anything, didn't think about anything, and just focused on punching Li Yong's bloody face and head again and again. In fact, at this time, An Xiaohai's fists had almost lost all feeling.

The commotion in cell number 27 had already attracted the attention of the prison guards, but no matter how hard they tried, they were unable to break through the obstruction of the other prisoners.

Liu Cong and Wu Yuehong were outnumbered and outmatched. They dared not engage in a violent conflict with the prisoners, so they could only yell at them to get out of the way while calling for backup.

Once the main force arrived and dispersed the prisoners, the fighting in cell number 27 had stopped.

Li Yong lay on the ground, his face covered in blood, his life hanging in the balance. Ma Xiaowei was still writhing in pain beside him, but his movements had lost their strength and looked more like convulsions.

An Xiaohai sat on the ground not far from Li Yong, his chest heaving violently, his hands a bloody mess.

It is clear that the instigator is likely An Xiaohai, or at least he is one of the main people involved!

The disappointment in Liu Cong's eyes was almost impossible to hide. He walked up to An Xiaohai and tried several times, but he still couldn't utter a single word.

An Xiaohai struggled to control his breathing and stood up, supporting himself on his knees.

"Officer Liu, believe it or not, I didn't do anything!"

An Xiaohai suppressed his guilt and said with a laugh, "But I know we're going to be locked up anyway, so let's go. I don't care what you do with me."

Liu Cong stared at An Xiaohai for a long time. Besides disappointment, his eyes were filled with confusion and even emptiness.

Liu Cong turned and left blankly, and An Xiaohai could only follow with his head down, while Wu Yuehong stayed behind to handle the aftermath.

After following Liu Cong for a while, An Xiaohai realized that the path wasn't to the solitary confinement room, but rather to the infirmary.

At the entrance to the infirmary, Liu Cong suddenly stopped, turned around, glared at An Xiaohai, and asked:

"Why? Tell me why?! You! You only had three years in prison, why couldn't you just endure it?! Why did you become like this?!"

Liu Cong's eyes were a little red, and there were even faint tears welling up in them.

An Xiaohai felt as if he had been violently struck in the heart; the pain was far more excruciating than the pain in his hand.

"To survive!"

After a long pause, An Xiaohai finally answered Liu Cong's question.

Liu Cong paused for a moment, his eyes becoming somewhat blank. After thinking for a while, he opened the door to the infirmary with a wooden expression.

Liu Cong did not follow An Xiaohai into the infirmary, but gestured for himself to go in first, as if he needed to calm down by himself.

"What happened to you again?!" Liu Xuemei asked, heartbroken, as she held An Xiaohai's bloodied and mangled hands.

"As soon as I got back, someone bullied me. I fought with him, and that's how this happened," An Xiaohai couldn't bear to lie to Liu Xuemei any longer and told the truth.

"How could you do this, child?! They bullied you, you should have called the prison guards to help you resolve the situation, instead of fighting with them!"

Look at your hand! The bone is showing! Sit up straight, let me help you fix it, just bear with it, honestly!

"Yes, I acted impulsively. I was wrong. I won't do it again..." An Xiaohai sighed inwardly and sat down to let Liu Xuemei treat his wounds.

Strangely, it should have been very painful, but An Xiaohai felt no pain at all, as if his hands didn't belong to him.

Before Liu Xuemei could finish bandaging An Xiaohai, Li Yong and Ma Xiaowei were brought in. Their conditions were very serious and clearly beyond the scope of the infirmary's capabilities.

Liu Xuemei immediately requested that the two be taken to the hospital for treatment. Wu Yuehong ran off to get a report, while Liu Xuemei herself took the opportunity to treat An Xiaohai's wounds.

"If you were hit on a metal bed, it could cause the kind of wound you have on your hand. The wound from hitting a wall is completely different. Remember that."

Before leaving, Liu Xuemei whispered something to An Xiaohai, and then, along with several prison guards, escorted Li Yong and Ma Xiaowei to the city hospital.

An Xiaohai was deeply moved.

Liu Xuemei spoiled him to the point of being indulging him to the point of disregarding principles, and even came up with a plan for him to escape punishment!

At the entrance of the infirmary, waiting to take An Xiaohai to the solitary confinement room, was still Liu Cong. His emotions had mostly calmed down, but the light that had once shone in his eyes had dimmed considerably.

He remained silent the entire way until he closed the iron door of the solitary confinement cell and turned to leave; Liu Cong did not utter another word after that.

"I'm so sorry, Officer Liu! Thank you so much..."

Watching Liu Cong leave dejectedly through the small window, An Xiaohai could only bury his apology deep in his heart.

---------

Just as An Xiaohai had predicted, he was released after only two days in solitary confinement.

After waking up in the hospital, Li Yong and Ma Xiaowei both denied that An Xiaohai had hit them, saying only that they had accidentally fallen.

The fact that he fell on his own means it was an accident. Since it was an accident, the prison is not at fault. Since no one is at fault, punishment is not necessary.

With no reason for punishment, An Xiaohai no longer needed to be confined; the method Liu Xuemei taught him had no effect.

In fact, the prison authorities spent a day working on Yong and Ma Xiaowei; otherwise, An Xiaohai could have been released in a day.

Back in cell number 27, everyone looked at An Xiaohai differently. Respect, indeed, doesn't arise without reason; it requires people to fight tooth and nail for it!

An Xiaohai's actions this time undoubtedly earned him the respect of all the prisoners once again.

No one knew that at this moment, An Xiaohai's disgust for all of this had reached a breaking point. It was so boring! This kind of fighting was completely meaningless!

Hopefully, this kind of ridiculous thing will never happen again! ...

An Xiaohai prayed silently.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and trouble soon came knocking on their own again.

Two days later, An Xiaohai was struggling to eat with his injured hand when someone suddenly ran over, squeezed past Peng Yuangui next to An Xiaohai, and sat down.

An Xiaohai turned his head and saw that it was Kun Ji, one of Gui Liu's subordinates.

Kunji was just a nickname; his real name was Zhang Kun. He wasn't imprisoned for drug trafficking, but for theft. He must have joined Gui Liu after he was imprisoned.

"Brother Hai, I want to be with you!" Kunji's eyes gleamed with fervor.

"With me? Are you kidding me? You're one of Brother Gui's men, why are you with me? Get lost, and I'll pretend this never happened."

"Brother Hai, I really want to be with you! As long as you agree, I'll take care of Brother Gui! Three cuts and six holes are nothing, I can handle it!"

hiss~

An Xiaohai took a breath, stopped eating, and looked at Kunji suspiciously: "Give me a reason!"

Kunji's behavior is highly suspicious. Three cuts and six holes are no joke! Why would this guy be willing to pay such a high price to be with me? Could it be that Gui Liu made him do this? To have him infiltrate my ranks?

A traitor in the underworld?!
