Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"Captain Wang, didn't you repeatedly remind me to be extra careful? Aren't we meeting a little too frequently?"

"Being careful is one thing, but I have to do what you asked me to do! I found the information you asked me to look up, and here it is."

"Didn't I say you'd have your apprentice, Xia Qing, deliver it?"

"I don't think it's appropriate for Xia Qing to deliver this! The information I found was far beyond my expectations. Not just your father and your uncle, your whole family surprised me!"

An Xiaohai, I think I need to get to know you again.

Wang Tiejun pushed over a thick stack of documents, several times thicker than Guo Xiangshui's documents from last time!

"Captain Wang, is it really that exaggerated? Don't scare me!" An Xiaohai took the documents with a mixture of surprise and doubt.

"Take a look first!" Wang Tiejun said, then lit a cigarette and went to the side to smoke, leaving An Xiaohai with a relatively quiet space.

An Xiaohai glanced at Wang Tiejun, flipped through the documents and read a few lines, and was already stunned.

The top document contains information about my grandfather, An Zhenhua:

An Zhenhua was born in 1919. He graduated from Nanjing University and then worked in the secretariat of the Nanjing National Government.

Hey!

An Xiaohai was speechless!

I never imagined my seemingly honest and unassuming grandfather had such an experience! The confidential secretariat... that's practically the same as being a spy...

An Xiaohai was so shocked he couldn't speak. He hurriedly flipped through all the remaining documents. The documents were very detailed, especially the section on the period after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

In many cases, even An Zhenhua's daily life, including his food, clothing, housing, and transportation, was recorded!

This is not hard to understand; An Zhenhua's experience working in the Nationalist government must have had a huge impact on him.

"This isn't right! Captain Wang, where did you get all this information?" After reading his grandfather's information, An Xiaohai calmed down for a long time before finally asking Wang Tiejun.

"Don't worry about where I got the information, but it's absolutely accurate!"

"No, I remember my grandfather was not even 70 years old! He was clearly not from 1919. The first line of the information is wrong."

"I think the problem isn't the data, it's you!" Wang Tiejun said meaningfully.

"An Xiaohai, you! You must never underestimate us from the previous generation!" At this moment, Wang Tiejun finally finished his cigarette and sat down opposite An Xiaohai.

People from that era were different from us!

We were born in a peaceful era. We were born safely and grew up happily. Then we went to school, graduated, worked, started a family... everything proceeded in an orderly manner.

They are different!

They grew up in a turbulent era, the most dangerous and tumultuous time for our entire nation! The world they witnessed was far richer than ours!

They witnessed war, experienced artillery fire, saw the nation perish, and traversed vast rivers and seas! Their lives were filled with endless suffering, yet also with such magnificent grandeur!

Unlike us now, living peaceful, stable, and happy lives, many people may never even leave a single city in their entire lives.

Honestly, sometimes I'm quite envious of them. If I hadn't traveled to so many places for work, I might be just like everyone else.

As Wang Tiejun spoke, he lit another cigarette. This guy had a huge smoking habit, which was very bad for his health.

"But you don't need to worry, these are all things from a long time ago. The old man should be fine, and he must have suffered a lot during that time!"

Your grandma, dad, and uncle have probably suffered a lot too, so try not to think too much about it!

Call ~

An Xiaohai took a deep breath.

At this moment, An Xiaohai understood why his family never mentioned these past events. They didn't want these painful memories to affect him, and they also didn't want to recall them again.

"Don't just stand there, keep watching! Look at your grandma, she's even more amazing than your grandpa!" Wang Tiejun said, giving An Xiaohai a thumbs up.

"Really?" An Xiaohai was a little incredulous. His grandfather's life had already shocked him enough, could his grandmother be even more amazing?

An Xiaohai quickly opened his grandmother's file:

Lin Yujiao was born in 1924. She joined the Nanjiang Red Guards in 1932. During the Long March of the Red Army, she stayed in the local area to continue fighting and later became a backbone member of the Nanjiang Guerrilla Force in Haidong Province.

Holy crap!

An Xiaohai's expression was priceless. Just as Wang Tiejun had said, his grandmother was even fiercer!

Damn, these two were even involved in a KMT-CCP ​​cooperation...

"How about that? Awesome, right! Your grandma is this!" Looking at An Xiaohai's almost dazed expression, Wang Tiejun gave him a thumbs up again: "She personally killed Japanese soldiers, she's a true hero!"

What a pity! If it weren't for your grandfather, she would be in a very high position now. She joined the revolution at the age of 8 and fought as a guerrilla for more than ten years. She is a hero!

An Xiaohai, your grandmother is truly admirable!

An Xiaohai felt an urge to cry.

Grandma's consciousness was already somewhat blurred, and An Xiaohai couldn't reconcile that kind, gentle, and weathered image with the heroic guerrilla fighter described in the documents.

With mixed feelings, An Xiaohai carefully read through his grandmother's information. Indeed, as Wang Tiejun said, if it weren't for his grandfather's involvement, his grandmother wouldn't be in this state now.

After reading his grandmother's information, An Xiaohai calmed down for a while before continuing to read.

Surprisingly, my dad's and uncle's information was much simpler, especially my uncle Ahn Cheol-ho's, which consisted of only two pitiful pages.

An Zheran, An Zhehao... should mean righteousness and integrity, but I don't know why the older brother is named An Zheran and the younger brother is named An Zhehao. Isn't that backwards?

"Captain Wang, I asked you to help me look up information on my dad and uncle, but there's so little information on them, while you've compiled a huge amount of information on my grandparents!"

"And I've looked for ages, but I haven't found a single useful piece of information. What do you mean by this?"

"Uh, don't worry, it's easier to find your grandparents' information!"

……

"Don't look at me like that. We're all on the same household registration. If you want to check, check together."

Your dad should be fine. After leaving you, he went to Beijing to study. He divorced your mom while he was studying, and after graduating, he went to work at a design institute. He remarried immediately and soon had a son.

"What does his wife do? Why isn't it listed in the information?"

"I've seen his wife's information, and there's nothing suspicious about it. She's the daughter of a high-ranking official, a member of the 'Old Three Classes' (referring to students who graduated from high school in 1966-1967), and she's lived near Haizhou City."

Then, in the same year as your dad, she got into the same university. I guess it was because they had similar experiences and got along well with your dad that they ended up together.

"Do you think she's alright because she genuinely doesn't seem suspicious at all, or because she's the child of a high-ranking official?"

"There are two reasons!" Wang Tiejun said without any hesitation: "An Xiaohai, I know what you're thinking, but don't think that way so easily!"

The children of high-ranking officials are no joke!

Ordinary people can never imagine how terrifying the resources an official can mobilize are, let alone a high-ranking official!

Believe it or not, I can access her information one moment and call her home the next.

I advise you not to touch these things lightly without any evidence.

Of course, officials, even high-ranking ones, cannot act with impunity! If they really did what you did, I'd even help you expose them, even if they were the Emperor himself! Understand?

"Understood, thank you Captain Wang," An Xiaohai said with a sigh of relief.

Wang Tiejun was somewhat surprised. At this moment, An Xiaohai did not show any anger. This was unusual!

"An Xiaohai, to be honest, I'm quite happy that you can stay rational!" Wang Tiejun said with a sigh of relief.

"Captain Wang, actually I'm even happier!" An Xiaohai gave Wang Tiejun a smile.

"You? Are happier?"

"Yes!" An Xiaohai nodded. "I originally thought you were too naive and couldn't possibly outmaneuver these people, but now I trust you a bit."

"You brat! What kind of nonsense are you spouting?!" Wang Tiejun was so angry that he pointed at An Xiaohai and couldn't speak for a long time!

This kid! What are you thinking about? Where did your mind wander off to?! He's so infuriating!
