Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Guo Xiangshui examined the three portraits over and over for a long time, his expression becoming increasingly interesting. He seemed to recognize all three people in the portraits! Except, of course, for the dog.

"Cough... Fatty Ming, what the hell are you doing? Don't you have anything better to do? Are you eating my food or Tong Sheng Lian's food? Let them find their own people, why are you meddling in this?!"

Guo Xiangshui's expression changed instantly. He not only flew into a rage, but also tore the three portraits to shreds with a wave of his hand.

Fatty Ming was a bit confused. What's wrong with the boss? Can't you give me a hint?!

"Get out of here! Go do what you're supposed to do!"

"Boss, I haven't eaten yet!"

"What are you eating?! Get out! Get the hell back here right now!"

"Okay, okay, boss, don't be angry, I'll leave right away!"

Guo Xiangshui suddenly flew into a rage, which terrified Fatty Ming. However, he quickly realized what was happening, got up and left, grabbing a handful of candy from the tea tray on the table and stuffing it into his pocket before leaving.

Ah Huo glanced at the scraps of paper on the ground, then at Guo Xiangshui, and finally at An Xiaohai. He quickly realized what was happening, lowered his head, and covered his mouth with his hand. Judging from his expression, he was trying not to laugh.

"Xiao Hai, Fatty Ming, is from the same village as me. I watched him grow up. His parents passed away early, and he still has his grandparents to take care of. It's not easy for him."

This guy might be a bit simple-minded, but he's very loyal. If I tell him to go east, he'd never dare go west! ..."

"Alright, Uncle Shui, I won't do anything to him, don't worry..."

An Xiaohai was in a real bind. Guo Xiangshui must have already recognized those three portraits. His sudden outburst of anger and his attempt to drive Fatty away was because he didn't want Fatty to be silenced by him.

Damn it...

Why do all these people think I'm the kind of person who would kill someone to silence them at the drop of a hat? How pathetic!

"Oh, then I'm relieved... But while I'm relieved about you, what about Buddha's Son...?"

"Don't worry, I won't tell him, and he rarely comes here..."

"Oh...that's good! That's good! Have some tea!"

Guo Xiangshui refilled An Xiaohai's and Ah Huo's teacups. Although An Xiaohai kept his head down and looked at the teacup, he was also observing Guo Xiangshui's expression out of the corner of his eye.

It's almost certain that Guo Xiangshui works for Haiyaozi, while Xu Tianyou represents Haifoye; the two are competitors.

An Xiaohai previously thought that Xu Tianyou's feud with Gui Liu was due to gang warfare, but later realized that he was mistaken.

At this point in time, Hai Foye's group of talents have just risen to prominence, and their influence cannot extend to Haidong Province for the time being. Their fierce conflict with Hai Yaozi is likely a matter for the future.

It's normal for the two companies to be at odds now, since they are competitors, but it's far from a life-or-death situation.

The relationship between An Xiaohai and Xu Tianyou is slowly being exposed in the underworld, and it is impossible to hide it any longer. The exposure of this relationship has both positive and negative effects on An Xiaohai.

On the bright side, Xu Tianyou is also a drug lord, and An Xiaohai has a close secret relationship with him. In the eyes of the underworld, this is not a big deal. On the contrary, it shows that An Xiaohai is trustworthy.

As long as Xu Tianyou is still alive and kicking, there is nothing to doubt about An Xiaohai.

The downside is that Hai Foye and Hai Yaozi are rivals, and An Xiaohai's close relationship with Xu Tianyou could easily arouse Hai Yaozi's suspicion.

Overall, however, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

No matter how vigilant the Sea Hawks are, An Xiaohai can still be considered one of their own, which is fundamentally different from a police informant.

An Xiaohai noticed that when Fatty Ming left, Da Xian and Guo Xiangshui exchanged a glance and then went downstairs, presumably to remind Fatty Ming, while the others present did not react.

Therefore, it's highly likely that among Guo Xiangshui's men, Da Xian was also a member of Haiyaozi, while the identities of the others remain uncertain. At the very least, Da Xian was a truly trusted subordinate of Guo Xiangshui.

Ah Huo is quite good at making things happen. He always manages to create a lively atmosphere and drinks very freely, accepting almost anything offered. The bottle of strong liquor in front of him was quickly emptied.

An Xiaohai watched with a pounding heart.

After the meal, some people drank tea, some sang karaoke, and some chatted. Anyway, the place was very big, so it didn't affect anyone.

Looking at the laughter and merriment before him, the dazzling lights and bustling activity made An Xiaohai feel increasingly absurd.

The world here is so different from the world that An Xiaohai is familiar with!

Most of the people here didn't finish elementary school, speak crudely, and have sleazy appearances, but they are incredibly wealthy.

They seem to have no need to learn skills or worry about finding a job. They gather here every day to drink tea, chat, and exchange information. Then, using this information and less-than-honorable means, they make a fortune.

In the eyes of these people, as long as they can make money, they don't care about any rules, laws, or taboos! The only bond that connects people is money, and the word "loyalty" that they often talk about.

No wonder people in the underworld have to be loyal to each other!

The revelry continued until the early hours of the morning. Guo Xiangshui couldn't stay awake any longer and went to sleep. Before leaving, he handed the club's key and elevator card to An Xiaohai.

This means that from now on, An Xiaohai will be one of the owners of this place.

When the party finally ended, Ah Huo was very drunk and wouldn't let anyone touch him, except for An Xiaohai. So, the task of taking Ah Huo home naturally fell to An Xiaohai.

After helping Ah Huo downstairs, Ah Huo showed no respect to his own brother, still only letting An Xiaohai support him and refusing to get into the car, insisting on walking.

The group of underlings had no choice but to follow them from a distance.

Meanwhile, in another building in Haiwei Village

"Ah Cai, what's wrong? Why did you rush me here?" Guo Xiangshui asked Li Maocai, looking energetic and showing no sign of fatigue.

"Brother Shui, the guys in the server room just told me that Brother Hai seems to have a signal!"

"Xiao Hai has a signal?" Guo Xiangshui frowned immediately. "Are you sure?"

"I'm not entirely sure," Li Maocai shook his head slightly. "The signal is very weak, and the intervals are quite long. Fortunately, we caught the signal as soon as Hai Ge arrived at the club, otherwise we might not have been able to detect it."

"He actually has a signal on him... That's impossible!" Guo Xiangshui frowned, thought for a while, and finally realized.

"I understand! So Xiao Hai and Xu Tianyou are actually this close... I never expected that!"

…That makes sense! No wonder Xu Tianyou was able to escape from prison!…

Wow... what a talent! A truly rare find! Boss is amazing...

Ah Cai, tell me, how exactly did the boss do it? How did he know Xiao Hai? And why did he recognize Xiao Hai at first glance?

That's terrifying..."

"Hehe, otherwise how could he be the boss!" Li Maocai chuckled lightly. "The boss is indeed incredibly powerful. Otherwise, after all these years, the cops wouldn't have been able to keep up with our every move!"

But Brother Shui, are you sure An Xiaohai is alright? Could the signals on him be...?

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Before Li Maocai could finish speaking, Guo Xiangshui waved his hand to interrupt him: "Xiao Hai can't be a member of the police!"

Let me tell you, Ah Cai, even if one day you see An Xiaohai passing a message to the police with your own eyes, he could never be an undercover agent!

Believe me, I'd stake my life on it!
