Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"No, it's nothing! I was just using an analogy. Captain Wang, why are you so agitated? Do you and Captain Cao really have some kind of secret?"

"You little brat, get lost! You think I'm stupid? Don't believe everything you hear!"

"Alright, alright, I was wrong. Let's get down to business."

"You little rascal! I've noticed you're getting worse and worse, spreading this kind of gossip. Tell me! Who told you this?"

"Hey Captain Wang, stop asking questions and get down to business. Hurry up, we've been here for over half an hour already."

An Xiaohai quickly tried to calm him down, and after Wang Tiejun glared at him several times, he finally stopped pressing the issue.

"I understand. What you mean is basically to shift the blame and divert the other party's attention. I think it's a feasible plan, but the effectiveness is hard to say."

"Yes," An Xiaohai nodded:

"If the sea hawks are really as powerful as you say, they won't fall for it so easily. But doing this will definitely give the kite a chance to catch its breath, so it's better than doing nothing."

"I agree with you. It's better to react than not to react. We can take this opportunity to disrupt their plans and rhythm."

"Yes, but the cost is a bit high, it requires a lot of manpower and resources."

"These are not problems!" Wang Tiejun waved his hand. "As long as we can provide some protection for the kites, it's worth it."

Call ~

Wang Tiejun let out a heavy sigh of relief:

"You've got some skills, kid. What are your plans now? Let me remind you, even though you're out now and it's harder to deal with you, don't underestimate the threat from the mastermind behind it all."

Although they haven't reacted yet, they've definitely started planning their next move against you. Be careful of your surroundings.

"Thank you, Captain Wang, I understand," An Xiaohai smiled slightly, "Captain Wang, do you know that we fishermen have a saying?"

"What do you mean?"

"The ocean is dangerous, but it also has the most fish! Don't worry, Captain Wang, if you consider the world as the ocean, then the First Prison is just a small pond at most."

In that small pond, I had nowhere to hide, but it's a different story in the ocean. I can just find anywhere to hide, and they might have a hard time even finding me.

"You brat!" Wang Tiejun glared at An Xiaohai.

"Let's not talk about that anymore, Captain Wang. I need some time to familiarize myself with the underworld in Deepsea City. Only by getting to know my opponents can I know what to do next."

It might take a month, or it might take two or three months, but I'll do it as soon as possible.

"Your idea is right. We must get to know them as soon as possible, otherwise it's easy to make the wrong judgment."

"I think I can help you with this. Give me some time, and I'll go back and prepare the relevant information. I'll organize everything I can show you, which should save you a lot of time and energy."

"That's great, thank you, Captain Wang."

"No need, we should be thanking you. I'll let you know when I have the information ready."

"Okay, no need to prepare too much detail. I just need to understand the general situation. Knowing too much detail will only make it easier to give myself away unintentionally."

"You're worrying unnecessarily! Our Deepsea City is a special economic zone, and it's right next to Red Port. The underworld is very complex. It's already quite good that you can understand the general situation. I'm worried that you won't be able to remember so much."

"I'll try my best..." An Xiaohai replied with a wry smile.

"Alright, that's all. This is a mobile phone, a gift from Tian Qiaoming? That's quite a generous gift!"

"Yes, Captain Wang, you can take it if you like."

"What are you saying? Are you trying to tempt me into making a mistake?"

"No, I was just thinking that if you have a mobile phone, it'll be easier for me to call you for help!" An Xiaohai rolled his eyes at Wang Tiejun. Couldn't he tell he was joking? Did he really think he was going to give it to you?

"What's with that expression? Do you think I, the captain of a narcotics squad, would care about something like this? Let me tell you, we've already provided them with mobile phones, and we're currently doing some technical processing."

This is my number, remember it, you can use it in a few days.

Wang Tiejun gave his phone number to An Xiaohai, who wrote it down.

"I don't know the phone number yet. I'll look it up when I get back and tell you next time."

"Okay, you can go now. It's about time. It's really not good to stay with me for too long."

"You just let me go like that? I mean, you chased me for blocks, made me fall, then handcuffed me and interrogated me in the car for over half an hour, and then you just let me go like that? Aren't there any legal procedures?"

"What, not enough? How about you come check out my team?"

"No need for that. What I mean is, is this normal? Is this how you usually question people?"

"Of course it's normal, it's perfectly normal. Get lost! This is standard procedure, and it won't cause any problems even if someone sees it."

"Is that so? This is absolutely lawless!"

"What do you mean, lawless? Don't talk nonsense, you have no idea how much power someone like me has! Alright, get lost."

"Fine, I'll get out right now!"

An Xiaohai picked up the box containing the mobile phone, opened the door, and left quickly without looking back.

Watching An Xiaohai's figure slowly disappear in the rearview mirror, Wang Tiejun wanted to get out of the car several times to drag him back and ask him some more questions, but in the end he held back.

After shaking his head and giving a wry smile, Wang Tiejun drove away.

After Wang Tiejun's outburst, An Xiaohai lost his desire to go shopping. He found a small shop, bought some things, asked the shopkeeper for a few plastic bags, put them in the box of his mobile phone, and carried them home by bus.

The bus swayed and rattled for a full hour and a half before finally arriving outside Apojiao Village. An Xiaohai had just stepped off the bus when he bumped into Chen Xiru, Lin Xuan'er's mother, who was carrying some things and walking towards him.

"Hello, Auntie!" An Xiaohai greeted her somewhat guiltily.

An Xiaohai's impression of Chen Xiru was that she came from an intellectual family, but later, due to the pressure of making a living, she opened a small fish stall in the village market.

Chen Xiru is usually quiet and looks gentle and weak, but she actually has a very strong personality.

Chen Xiru was clearly unhappy about An Xiaohai's relationship with Lin Xuan'er, so An Xiaohai always felt guilty whenever he saw her.

"Xiao Hai, you're back?!" To An Xiao Hai's surprise, Chen Xi Ru seemed very happy to see him, and An Xiao Hai even caught a hint of joy in her eyes.

"Yes, because I did some good work, I was released early and have been out for several days now."

Chen Xiru had to guard the fish stall alone every day and rarely interacted with the villagers, so it was normal that she didn't know An Xiaohai had returned.

"It's good that you're out. Come over and help Auntie carry some things; I'm almost too tired to carry them anymore."

"Okay, sure!"

An Xiaohai quickly stepped forward to help Chen Xiru lift the two large fish baskets, feeling increasingly puzzled. Chen Xiru would never have been so close to him before.

"Since you've been back for several days, why didn't you tell Xuan'er? Chen Xiru knows Lin Xuan'er well. If she knew An Xiaohai was back, she would definitely come back to see him no matter what."

"Xuan'er is in school, and I'm worried about affecting her studies. Anyway, summer vacation is coming soon, and I can see her when she comes back."

"Well, it's true that there are only a few days left, but I advise you to tell Xuan'er in advance, otherwise the child will be angry with you."

"Hehe, okay," An Xiaohai was even more confused. Chen Xiru used to be indifferent to him, so why was she so much more affectionate after he was released from prison after serving two years?

"I really don't understand! ...Could it be because I spent the last two years in jail for Xuan'er? That shouldn't be the case..."

Despite his doubts, An Xiaohai didn't show them. He chatted with Chen Xiru all the way and escorted her to her doorstep.

"Xiao Hai, would you like to eat before you leave?"

"Oh, I won't eat anymore, thank you, Auntie. I've been out all day, and I was worried my mom would worry."

"Okay, then come back another day. You need to take good care of the wound on your hand. I see there's still a lot of dirt on it. It will get infected if you don't treat it properly."

"Thank you, Auntie. I'll wash it with salt water when I get home."

"Alright, go ahead then."

Goodbye, Auntie!

After saying goodbye to Chen Xiru, An Xiaohai became increasingly puzzled. What exactly was wrong?

Lost in thought, An Xiaohai arrived at his home. As soon as he stepped inside, his brows furrowed.

The house was a mess, with all sorts of things scattered on the floor. Even the heavy two-drawer cabinet in the living room had fallen over. Chen Shuifen and Qin Xiufen were cleaning up the mess.

"Mom, what happened?!"
