Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Xu Tianyou exhaled a puff of smoke, his gaze fixed on the scattered lights of Luoshan County in the distance, the mountain wind ruffling his hair.

The old goat's hideout was some distance from the county town. The house faced a county road in front and was backed by dense forest, making it convenient for both outings and escapes. However, at this moment, the hideout was completely surrounded by more than 20 cars.

Xu Tianyou stood alone on a small earthen mound, smoking, while the others waited below.

"Boss, I already said he's alright, he should be at a hotel in the county town now," one of Xu Tianyou's men came out of the room and whispered to Xu Tianyou.

"Are you hurt?"

"No, Hai said he was introduced to Zou Laoquan by Xi Gou, so they gave him face and didn't do anything. They even left him 500 yuan for travel expenses."

"I see. Well, they're lucky. Let's leave them with their bodies intact. Now, let's go through the trouble of finding a place to bury them."

"Yes."

"Wait, did anyone ask how these guys got their eyes on Brother Hai?"

"I asked around, and they said that when Hai paid for the room, he had several hundred yuan in his wallet, which they saw. They thought Hai must have more money hidden on him, so they lured him here to steal it."

"Oh, I see. That was so careless. Okay, go ahead... No, wait a little longer!"

"Can't you guys find a decent place to bury them? Don't do what you did last time, trying to save time by burying them in the ground. Now that you've turned the soil over, you've dug them all up! Are you stupid?!"

"Yes, boss..."

The younger brother hurriedly ran back, and then a series of loud bangs and screams rang out from inside the house. The windows of the house flashed with dark red light, which, in the thick darkness of the night, looked like a demon blinking its eyes.

"What's wrong with Idol Bro? He was as smart as a ghost in prison, but now he's like an idiot?"

A lone man, without any weapons, dares to come to a place like this with so much money and a cell phone. Isn't that just courting death? ...Seriously, he's being sold out and still helping the seller count the money. He's incredibly stupid!

However, after visiting Zou Laoquan, he finally understood...

Thank goodness I was here, otherwise you wouldn't even know how you died!

Look at you, what are you going to do without me... You're even planning to keep this from me? Do you think you can keep it from me? This is my territory...

This is really a headache...

Xu Tianyou touched the necklace in his hand and grinned as he thought.

------

An Xiaohai woke up early in the morning, washed up, and planned to go downstairs for breakfast before contacting Xu Tianyou.

Thinking about how the driver had been on this trip with him and had suffered such a fright, An Xiaohai wanted to ask him to come along, but no one came to open the door even after knocking for a long time.

I went to the front desk and asked, only to find out that the driver had checked in yesterday and then driven away again shortly after.

An Xiaohai was startled and quickly ran to the parking lot to check. Sure enough, the car was not there!

"Damn it... could I have been set up?..." An Xiaohai finally realized that he had probably been targeted while he was in the small hotel.

"What the hell!"

An Xiaohai wished he could kill himself, but now he's been sold out and is even grateful for it. He even returned most of the 500 yuan he was given!

"What's going on here?... "

An Xiaohai looked up to the sky and sighed. If Xu Tianyou found out about this, he would laugh at him for the rest of his life!

"No way, I can't let this kid know. I might as well just hire a car and pay him when we get home. Consider it my bad luck!"

Going back is out of the question; the matter isn't finished yet.

An Xiaohai went to the hotel restaurant dejectedly, but breakfast time had already passed. He had no choice but to leave the hotel and go outside to see what he could eat.

He hadn't gone far when An Xiaohai spotted the person he least wanted to see at that moment.

"Hey! Hai-ge, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? What happened? Lost your money? No worries, come on over, I've even ordered you some snail rice noodles, hehe!"

This is a small noodle shop by the roadside. Xu Tianyou has set up a table at the entrance and is slurping noodles in a grand manner. The shop is full of people who are making faces, probably all of them his men.

The shop owner was almost in tears. With such a group of people sitting in the shop, how could any customer dare to come in?

An Xiaohai looked back at the county public security bureau not far away, then tilted his head and stared at Xu Tianyou for a long time.

This guy is too arrogant!

But if someone's treating, why not take it?

An Xiaohai didn't say anything, walked over and sat down, took out a pair of chopsticks and started eating the noodles. He was really hungry! To be honest, the snail rice noodles smelled quite pungent, but the taste was actually quite good.

Xu Tianyou didn't say anything, just kept slurping noodles with An Xiaohai, but kept trying to suppress his laughter. An Xiaohai was really worried that he would spit the noodles out of his nostrils.

"What are you laughing at! If you laugh again, I'll tell you everything about how your legs went weak and you needed to pee!"

"Hahaha……"

Xu Tianyou laughed heartily: "It doesn't matter. Your situation is different from ours. Anyone would have gone weak in the knees and needed to pee in that situation! It's not shameful, hahaha..."

An Xiaohai wiped his mouth while glaring at Xu Tianyou, who was laughing so hard he was practically lying on the table and couldn't get up.

You really messed up like that! Damn it!

"Alright, alright, I'm not laughing anymore. Xiao Hai, you're really not being fair. You came all the way to Haixi without telling me. If this thing hadn't ended up in my hands, I wouldn't have known you were here."

After Xu Tianyou finished speaking, he opened his palm, and the necklace was right there in his palm. He had also replaced the broken chain with a red rope.

"Give it to me!" An Xiaohai snatched the necklace and hung it around his neck.

"Thanks this time, consider it an obligation."

"What did you say?" Xu Tianyou rolled his eyes and waved his hand. "You're really something. A college student, all you do is study and spend time in jail. You don't know anything!"

The outside world is dangerous. Why don't you stay at home and instead run around wandering around?

You're lucky this time, you came to Haixi, and I just happened to be nearby. If this were Yunnan Province, you'd probably be somewhere in the mountains nourishing the earth right now!

Be careful!

"Okay, I won't do it again next time."

"I won't do it again... Take this!" Xu Tianyou glared at An Xiaohai and slammed two things on the table—two car keys.

"A Santana or a Cadillac, you choose."

"Wow, you're being so generous! I can't drive, what am I supposed to do with this?"

"Driving is very simple: start the engine, press the clutch, shift gears, release the clutch while pressing the accelerator, and you're off in a flash. You're a grown man, it's really inconvenient not to have a car."

"You're kidding me, I'm afraid it'll just disappear in a flash!"

Haha! Here you go, pick one yourself!

Don't tell me the other Hai Ge is planning to start from the bottom? This world is all about money; having a car makes all the difference.

If you drive a Cadillac, people will think you're a rich kid; if you drive a Santana, people will think you're a successful boss.

"Would you rather be a rich young master or a powerful boss? The choice is yours."

An Xiaohai frowned.

An Xiaohai came here to find Zou Laoquan in order to get a new identity. This idea only came to him after he had talked to 073.

If demons can transform into other small animals, why can't deer do the same?

Zou Laoquan was someone An Xiaohai from another timeline heard about from a man named Gou Yi a few years later. Zou Laoquan was the person An Xiaohai referred to as Xi Gou, who could help him get another identity.

However, An Xiaohai had not yet fully decided how he would present his new identity to the world.

It doesn't matter, let's get the new identity first. With this new identity, at least we'll have another way out.

"So? Which one do you choose?" Xu Tianyou asked, staring at An Xiaohai with curiosity in his eyes.

"Let's choose this one!"

After a long pause, An Xiaohai finally made his choice and reached out to grab the Cadillac's keys.
