Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

The saying "the truth will eventually come to light" means that the truth will always gradually surface over time.

An Xiaohai felt he didn't have time to wait for the water level to slowly recede, since the stone was at the bottom and there were other ways to make it float to the surface.

Five days later, Li Yong returned, while Ma Xiaowei was still hospitalized. He had been hit on the back of the head and suffered a concussion, which was quite serious.

Li Yong's face was wrapped in gauze, and his entire head was swollen. He looked quite miserable. This ordeal had completely robbed him of his former arrogance. He now bowed and scraped to everyone he met, acting timidly and subserviently.

But An Xiaohai knew very well that all of this was just an illusion, and Li Yong was doing this mainly to numb himself.

An Xiaohai knew that his plan was somewhat flawed.

I originally thought Li Yong and Ma Xiaowei would be killed, but things didn't go that way at all. Although the prisoners reacted very strongly, only I and Gui Liu actually took action.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Which prisoner would do something that harms their own interests for the sake of so-called morality? Minor offenders wouldn't bother, and serious offenders wouldn't dare to do it.

Whether Li Yong was genuinely clever or desperate, trying to drag me down with him, he insisted that I was in cahoots with Wang Tiejun.

No one believes this claim, but who knows if someone might take it to heart?

Wang Tiejun reassured An Xiaohai that he had a solution, but did not explain the specific method. He simply told An Xiaohai not to do anything and to wait quietly.

An Xiaohai was still feeling uneasy.

There's no other way, this is the only option. At least this has given An Xiaohai a chance to catch his breath, and there will always be a way to solve this problem.

An Xiaohai ate his meal absentmindedly, his attention mostly on Li Yong in the corner. This guy must have used some kind of method to gather several of the most disliked guys in cell number 27 around him.

This is indeed a solution, much better than being alone and isolated. After all, Li Yong and Ma Xiaowei have a notorious reputation, and those who have been bullied for years have certain demands of them.

Both sides have their own needs.

Just as An Xiaohai was thinking about how to completely resolve the troublesome situation involving Li Yong and Ma Xiaowei, a glint of cold light suddenly caught his eye.

An Xiaohai glanced around discreetly and immediately noticed that something was wrong!

A prisoner had finished getting his food and was carrying his bowl towards me. It seemed that something was hidden under his bowl, and the cold light was coming from there.

Clearly, the thing gleaming coldly hidden under the rice bowl was definitely not a benevolent creature!

"Damn it! Is this another attack on me?!" An Xiaohai's hair stood on end, and he immediately went on high alert. At the same time, an uncontrollable rage rose from the bottom of his heart!

How many times has this happened?!

Fortunately, just a few seconds later, An Xiaohai gradually lowered his guard.

That guy wasn't coming for him. Judging from the way he walked and the direction of his attention, it was easy to tell that his target was to his right front.

There were six or seven people sitting at the table to his right. The one in the lead was the third brother from cell number 8. Zhao De somehow managed to get himself seated at that table and was smiling obsequiously at the third brother.

In the blink of an eye, the person carrying the rice bowl had turned to that table. One of the third brother's underlings noticed him, but didn't pay much attention to him.

He was probably just passing by. After all, there are plenty of empty seats around this table, and he might be heading over there.

The man walked steadily behind Third Brother, his posture subtly changing as he walked, clearly indicating that he was secretly gathering strength!

He went there specifically to target his third brother!

A million thoughts flashed through An Xiaohai's mind in an instant!

Should we remind Third Brother? If we do, it will be a life-saving favor, and Third Brother will most likely be grateful to him.

However, reminding Third Brother that such behavior would severely offend the assassin, and if the assassin had powerful backers, then the trouble would be immense.

Any force that dares to oppose the Third Brother is certainly not weak.

But at this moment, An Xiaohai had no time to think carefully. The man had gotten so close that he was only two or three body lengths away from Third Brother, and he had already gripped the weapon tightly in his hand!

From An Xiaohai's position, it was clear that it was a sharp spike that was polished to a high shine. Judging from this, the other party was determined to take Third Brother's life!

"Third Brother! Watch out!" An Xiaohai shouted almost instinctively.

Almost at the same time An Xiaohai shouted, the man had already made his move, suddenly raising the spikes and lunging at Third Brother!

Third Brother reacted extremely quickly!

Perhaps Third Brother sensed something was amiss, or perhaps it was instinct—he was always wary of anyone approaching him. In any case, Third Brother narrowly escaped by a hair's breadth and successfully rolled to the side!

At this point, Third Brother didn't care about his image as the boss anymore; saving his life was the priority!

Ding! ~

The sharp spike in the man's hand pierced the tin-covered dining table with a loud thud, sinking deep into the table and all the way to the hilt! It was clear how much force the man had used.

"You bastard!"

The third brother's gang finally realized what was happening and rushed over while cursing loudly, especially the one who noticed the man first and reacted the fastest.

The assassin tried to pull the spikes off the table, but they were stuck too deep. He tried twice but failed, and was then tackled to the ground by a group of Third Brother's henchmen.

Third Brother was very agile and had already gotten up from the ground. Unsure if there were any other dangers, he instinctively rushed towards the location of An Xiaohai, who had given the warning.

Just then, the third brother's henchmen let out screams and abandoned their fight with the man, retreating to both sides.

An Xiaohai's pupils constricted sharply! From his position, he could see very clearly that the man was actually hiding a dagger in his arms! With his frantic swinging, many of Third Brother's henchmen were injured, and several had their fingers severed.

Blood and severed limbs were everywhere; the scene was horrific!

The assassin's face was contorted, his body covered in blood, but his eyes were still fixed on Third Brother's back as he charged toward him at high speed.

Although Third Brother was terrified, he was experienced in the ways of the world. As he ran toward An Xiaohai, he kept grabbing anything he could and throwing it behind him, trying to disrupt the man's pursuit.

But this didn't work very well. The man ignored the food and soup that were thrown at him and charged at Third Brother with all his might.

The two were getting closer and closer, and Third Brother's henchmen came rushing over from all directions, cursing angrily, but they had no weapons and their threat was greater than their actual strength.

The prison guards realized what was happening and, while shouting to stop them, rushed over with their weapons.

But it was too late. At this moment, the person closest to Third Brother and that person was An Xiaohai!
