Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"Hehe, although it doesn't sound very nice, I'm just expressing my true feelings. Please forgive me, Captain Wang."

"Real feelings?! Me, the captain of the city's anti-drug squad, am I really that useless in your eyes? You're thinking too simply! An Xiaohai!"

Do you think I don't understand what you're spouting? If I really didn't understand, I'd be lying somewhere long ago, cold and lifeless!

We understand, but these things have existed since ancient times and are difficult to avoid; we have no choice in the matter. However, we can choose whether or not to go along with them!

I firmly believe that good will never prevail over evil! Black is black, and white is white; one day, justice will triumph!

Wang Tiejun was somewhat agitated, his knuckles turning white from his clenched fists.

An Xiaohai didn't know how to describe his feelings at that moment.

People who cannot see the darkness and have pure hearts are admirable, but those who see the darkness and still have the courage to face and fight against it are the true heroes!

"You don't need to look at me like that. Let me tell you, I'm not alone! There are plenty of people like me in our group!"

There are bad apples, but they are absolutely a tiny minority!

Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I advise you not to mess with your father's current wife lightly. Even if you want to investigate her, you must be careful and do it properly.

I'll keep a special eye out for you, understand?

"Okay, I understand," An Xiaohai nodded gently. "Then... what does my dad's other son do?"

"He's still in high school!" Wang Tiejun rolled his eyes at An Xiaohai. "You don't suspect him too, do you?"

"That's not necessarily true! Didn't you just say that the power an official can mobilize is beyond the imagination of ordinary people like us? Do you think an official's son can't mobilize that kind of power?"

"Don't talk nonsense, that's impossible! He's an excellent student in both character and academics!" Wang Tiejun waved his hand.

"What's his name? Can you tell me that?"

"An Weiyi".

"An Weiyi! What a unique name!" An Xiaohai didn't have much feeling for his father, but after hearing this name, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

"It's Wei Yi, not the only one! The woman your father married has the surname Wei, and her name is Wei Lili. Is it strange that their son is named An Weiyi?"

"Hehe, that's not surprising at all. Thank you, Captain Wang."

An Xiaohai was filled with gratitude. Although Wang Tiejun did not approve of his suspicions, he still told An Xiaohai the woman's name in this way.

For Wang Tiejun, this was already quite an achievement.

"What about my uncle? What does he do now? Why is there so little information about him?"

"Your uncle, he went abroad after graduating from university, so there's very little information about him. But he does have some issues! It just probably has nothing to do with what happened between you and your mother..." Wang Tiejun said, touching his lips.

"What's the problem?"

"He was involved in another case in his early years, but after investigation, he was cleared of suspicion."

"What case?"

"This...this is a bit difficult to tell you. Although many years have passed, this case is confidential...In short, it shouldn't have anything to do with you and your mother."

"As his closest relative, don't I have the right to know?"

"As your uncle's closest relative, you do have the right to know about his current situation."

"But you didn't do this!" Wang Tiejun said very seriously. "However, I can tell you a story. After you hear it, just forget about it and never tell anyone."

"Okay, I promise I won't tell anyone."

"Swear to me."

"Swear an oath? Does that even work? Captain Wang, you don't still believe in that kind of thing, do you?"

"It works, believe me. This ritual is more binding than doing nothing."

"Okay, I swear..." An Xiaohai immediately swore, which in his opinion was tantamount to farting.

Wang Tiejun gave An Xiaohai a deep look, lit another cigarette, and finally spoke.

"This story begins in a place called Iron Wolf Port."

"Iron Wolf Port?" An Xiaohai frowned.

He had heard of this place name before, and had even been there; it was right next to Shenhai City. Lin Xuan'er had raised a lot of silkworms for a while, and there was a large mulberry grove there. An Xiaohai had taken Lin Xuan'er there to pick mulberry leaves.

"Don't interrupt!" Wang Tiejun glared at An Xiaohai, who immediately raised his hands in surrender.

"Iron Wolf Wharf, why is it called Iron Wolf Wharf? Is there an iron wolf there? Where is this iron wolf? Do you know?"

"I don't know, I've never thought about it that way. It's just a place name!" An Xiaohai quickly shook his head in agreement.

"Yes, who would care about the origin of the name Iron Wolf Port? It's been called that for generations, and nobody cares about it, until a genius came out of there!"

This genius was admitted to a university in Beijing with excellent grades, majoring in Chinese language and literature. He was particularly interested in ancient culture, so he would often audit classes in the archaeology department.

To everyone's surprise, this talented individual chose to return to his hometown after graduation and became a lowly clerk in the local government.

At the time, the locals were shocked and there were all sorts of opinions, but most of them were mocking this genius.

Two years later, this genius did something truly astonishing, something earth-shattering!

Wang Tiejun stopped there, giving An Xiaohai a provocative look. An Xiaohai rolled his eyes at him. It turned out that this Captain Wang knew how to whet people's appetites!

"The problem lies in the name of the place, Tielangbu!" Wang Tiejun was very satisfied with An Xiaohai's reaction and continued, "It was originally an ordinary place name, but I didn't expect that genius to develop such a strong interest in it."

He spent two years researching and visiting people in the countryside, and finally figured out the origin of the name!

It turns out that during the Qing Dynasty, a meteorite fell from the sky and landed in the small river that runs through Tielangbu. At that time, Emperor Kangxi was in power, and after hearing about this, he made a special trip to Tielangbu.

Emperor Kangxi ordered people who were good at swimming to go down and investigate, hoping to retrieve what had fallen from the sky.

Those who were good swimmers went down to investigate and said that what fell from the sky was a piece of iron, shaped like a howling wolf, and looked very large and heavy. It would not be easy to retrieve it.

After hearing this, Emperor Kangxi, for reasons unknown, abandoned the salvage operation and left with his men, but he did name the place "Iron Wolf Wharf!"

"A meteorite? That genius found this meteorite?" An Xiaohai gradually understood the story. If it was true, this genius was really amazing.

"If only we had found this meteorite, that would have been great!" Wang Tiejun said with a wry smile. "This genius not only found the meteorite, but also salvaged it!"

However, he salvaged it secretly, and after it was brought to the surface, it was smuggled out through foreign forces!

……

"Alright, that's just a story. Once you've heard it, just forget about it."

"Okay, don't worry, I swore an oath!"

An Xiaohai finally understood why Wang Tiejun had handled this matter so cautiously: "But Captain Wang, what does this have to do with my uncle?"

"Of course they're related!" Wang Tiejun squinted at An Xiaohai. "This genius and your uncle were best friends in college, so close they could share a pair of pants, just like you and Pan Zhuangzhuang."

Hey!

An Xiaohai was speechless!

"Damn! Turns out everyone in my family is incredibly talented! I thought I was the coolest kid in the family, but compared to these elders, I'm totally dwarfed!"

"What about my maternal grandparents? And my mother? Why didn't you check them out too?" After a long while, An Xiaohai finally came to his senses and asked this question casually.
