Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"Wow! A genuine Flying Bird brand! Haha! If I'd known these guys had offended you, they'd definitely be in trouble, hahaha!"

Xu Tianyou had just arrived when Kunji returned. After inspecting the goods, Xu Tianyou laughed so hard he almost fell over.

"I'll take this batch of goods, but business is business, and I can't lose money. It has to be at the market price. Here, I'll give you this amount," Xu Tianyou said, frowning as he thought for a moment before gesturing.

"130?!" An Xiaohai was startled.

"What? You think it's not enough?"

"No, I think it's too much," An Xiaohai said, letting out a soft breath.

Having spent so much time in prison, An Xiaohai roughly knew the price of this item, but he never expected Xu Tianyou to ask for several times the price right away.

This was in 1996!

"Hehe! So you're complaining about too much! Who complains about the buyer giving too much? I've already told you, all you do is go to school and go to jail, you don't know anything, yet you dare to do anything!"

You wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you, and you'd better never understand the ins and outs of this business. Anyway, I said this is business, and since it's business, I can't lose money, so this is the price.

However, I don't have that much cash on me right now. I'll have someone bring it to you in a few days, but it's best if you come and pick it up yourself; that way, I can save some money on gas.

Xu Tianyou put all the goods into his backpack and placed the backpack next to him.

"No need, keep the money for now, I'll ask you for it when I need it. But there are two things I'd like to ask you for help with."

"explain."

"The first thing is, can you think of a way to get some of this batch of goods by chance from Tong Sheng Lian in Hong Kong? The quantity needs to be large, the kind that would be difficult for them not to sell."

"I finally understand!" Xu Tianyou's eyes darted around. "So you wanted to use this incident to make the Sea Hawks and the Tong Sheng Lian fight to the death?!"

Should we also get some for the Big Circle? I'm afraid even one Tong Sheng Lian (a local organization) wouldn't be enough for the Sea Hawks to kill!

"Forget it, don't mess around! You've dragged the Big Circle Gang into this too. Are you trying to make sure everyone knows I did this?" An Xiaohai rolled his eyes at the guy.

"So you know how to be scared!" Xu Tianyou rolled his eyes, then stroked his chin and said, "It's not a big problem, leave it to me, but I need some time. This is a bit difficult, and I'd be a complete idiot if I messed it up."

"Okay!" An Xiaohai nodded. Xu Tianyou was a very shrewd guy, and An Xiaohai was very relieved to leave this matter to him.

"Anything else? Didn't you say you needed my help with two things?"

"I want my mom, Xuan'er, and Xuan'er's mom to go to your place to avoid the storm for about ten days."

"Of course, no problem at all! It's no big deal!"

It just so happens that I've been relatively free lately, so I'll personally show them around. No wonder you asked me to bring two cars; that's why.

When are you leaving? Today or tomorrow?

"Well... I haven't actually told my mom yet, mainly because I can't find a good reason, and I'm afraid she won't go."

"You can't find a reason? You've made the sea hawk look like a grandson to yourself, and you can't find a reason to fool your mother?"

I'm really fed up with you. Fine, stop looking so gloomy. I'll talk to your mom.

"You tell me?"

"yes."

"How are you going to tell my mom?"

"What do you care what I say! Anyway, I guarantee she'll willingly come with me for about ten days."

Look at you, what kind of look is that? ...Let me tell you, don't underestimate me. I'm not as good as you at other shady dealings, but when it comes to persuading someone like your mother, you can't even come close to matching me.

"Really?"

"Really! I'm known as a friend of women, don't worry!"

"Give me a break!" An Xiaohai glared at Xu Tianyou.

"But you'll have to handle things with your sister-in-law's mother yourself. I'm not familiar with her, so I can't fool her."

"Alright, I'll handle things with Xuan'er's mom."

Around four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Shuifen finally returned, accompanied by Chen Xiru.

Chen Shuifen was very happy to see Xu Tianyou arrive. Of all the friends An Xiaohai later made, Chen Shuifen liked Xu Tianyou the most.

They had only exchanged a few words when Xu Tianyou pulled Chen Shuifen into the room, where the two of them were talking mysteriously about something.

Pan Zhuangzhuang and Kunji exchanged a glance, then made an excuse and slipped away. Only An Xiaohai, Lin Xuan'er, and Chen Xiru remained in the living room.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Lin Xuan'er suddenly returned from school. Although Chen Xiru didn't say anything, her slightly furrowed brows remained furrowed.

"Auntie, there's something I want to tell you."

"What is it? Tell me," Chen Xiru said, staring into An Xiaohai's eyes.

"I think...you and Xuan'er, go with my mother to Haixi Province to relax."

"Accompany Shuifen to Haixi Province to relax?" Chen Xiru frowned even more.

"Yes, that young Xu is a very good friend of mine. He will arrange everything."

"Xiao Hai, have you... gotten into some trouble, so you want us to go out and hide for a while?"

Chen Xiru's question startled An Xiaohai. A thousand thoughts raced through his mind in an instant, but in the end, An Xiaohai nodded slightly.

"Yes, I did get into some trouble, but I didn't do anything wrong, and I was very careful about it, so it's unlikely that anyone will find out, and trouble may not come knocking."

Call ~

An Xiaohai breathed a sigh of relief after he finished speaking.

"So, you're not sending us to Haixi Province to relax, but rather to hide there and ensure our safety, right?"

"Yes," An Xiaohai nodded, biting his lip.

"Very good! Xiao Hai, you're very good!"

To An Xiaohai's surprise, Chen Xiru actually laughed after hearing his words, and her brows relaxed: "Okay, I'll go. If Shuifen doesn't want to, I'll persuade her to come with me!"

"Aunt……"

"Don't say anything, I understand!"

Xiao Hai, remember this: as family, the most important thing is to be honest with each other.

We are not afraid to take risks with you, or even lose our lives with you. What we fear most is not being trusted and being kept in the dark.

Can you understand what I'm saying?

"I understand, Auntie. I haven't hidden anything from Xuan'er, but my mother..."

"You don't need to explain. Auntie understands all of this. There are some things that really can't be said to Shuifen. As for her, well, let's not talk about it anymore. You handled this matter very well!"

"Thank you, Auntie!"

An Xiaohai also breathed a sigh of relief. He never expected that Chen Xiru would pass this test so easily.

At the same time, An Xiaohai's doubts deepened, and Chen Xiru became increasingly mysterious in his eyes.

An Xiaohai didn't think much about it; Chen Xiru wouldn't harm him.

After a while, Chen Shuifen and Xu Tianyou finally came out of the room. As soon as they stepped out, Xu Tianyou subtly gave An Xiaohai an OK sign.

After Chen Shuifen came out, she pulled Chen Xiru into the room again, presumably to discuss the trip to Haixi Province.

"So, how did you convince my mom?"

An Xiaohai was very curious. Although Chen Shuifen was gentle and weak, she could be really stubborn when she got stubborn. Xu Tianyou didn't know what method he used to persuade her.

"Don't ask, it's a trade secret! Don't even think about it!"

"Stingy!"

"Me, stingy? You're doing sea hawking, did you even tell me about this fun thing? You didn't include me, and you still call me stingy!" Xu Tianyou said, rolling his eyes.

"It's not that I don't want to play with you, it just happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to tell you."

"Really? Don't keep trying to fool honest people!"

"Of course it's true!"

"Then promise me that if there are any more fun things like this in the future, you can't leave me out! Understand?"

"Understood, understood. In a while, we're indeed going to do something much more fun than this. I wonder if Young Master Xu would be interested in joining us?"

"Of course I'll come!" Xu Tianyou's eyes lit up. "Tell me what it is, stop dawdling!"

"It's like this..."

An Xiaohai whispered his plan to Xu Tianyou.

From the moment An Xiaohai began speaking, Xu Tianyou's expression became incredibly interesting. After An Xiaohai finished speaking, Xu Tianyou, without exception, fell into a daze.

An Xiaohai didn't bother him. He'd be fine after a moment of dazedness; he'd get used to it.

Sure enough, half a minute later, Xu Tianyou flew into a rage and roared in a low voice:

"An Xiaohai! Are you fucking insane?!"

Are you asking for death?! This is way more serious than stealing from the Sea Hawks! Even if the Sea Hawks knew you stole their goods and killed their people, I could barely protect you!

If this goes wrong, you, me, and even everyone on my side together, we won't be able to handle it!

This is insane! Holy crap!

Damn it, I'm the crazy one! Don't make it sound like I've never seen anything like this before, okay? I'm losing face!

"Tell me, when are we going to make our move?!"

"..."
