Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"Zhuang, let me do it."

An Xiaohai woke up at 5 a.m. Luckily, he was indoors and there was no wind, otherwise he would have probably caught a cold from sleeping so long.

This is an office building that has already been built. The water and electricity seem to have been connected, and only the interior decoration is missing. However, for some reason, the entire project has stopped and no one is guarding it, so it has become an excellent observation point.

Pan Zhuangzhuang kept his eyes fixed on the entrance and exit of the Cuifeng Building parking lot. They had agreed that each person would guard it for an hour, but he guarded it all night.

"No need, I'll do it. I'm fine. You rest a bit more. When their car arrives, you'll have to follow them. I can't drive."

Pan Zhuangzhuang shook his head, his gaze remaining fixed.

An Xiaohai looked back at Xu Tianyou, who was lying on his back on the moisture-proof mat.

Perhaps it was because he had finally spoken out about something that had been weighing on his mind that An Xiaohai felt his psychological burden lighten, and he sensed some subtle changes in Xu Tianyou.

He's become less gloomy and more sunny, and he's increasingly resembling a normal person his age.

"Hey, I'm warning you, don't look at me like that with such affection. It makes my heart pound!" Xu Tianyou said in a low voice, his teeth clenched.

This guy was already awake.

"Pan Zhuangzhuang has been on guard all night, he must be hungry. If you're really bored, go downstairs and buy us some breakfast. What good is all this fake concern?"

I freaking...

An Xiaohai's temper flared up again, and he couldn't control it.

I really want to stomp on this guy's handsome little face...

"Sigh, forget it, I'll go buy it myself. He's so stingy! If he doesn't want to spend money, he should just say so. Who does he think he's scaring with that menacing look?" Xu Tianyou muttered to himself as he quickly got up and ran away, probably afraid of getting beaten up.

"Hai, I have a very strange feeling..." Pan Zhuangzhuang finally turned around and looked at An Xiaohai, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered.

"What strange feeling?" An Xiaohai frowned. He thought that when Pan Zhuangzhuang said something was strange, he meant the Cuifeng Building across the street, or what they were doing.

"I think Xu Tianyou is a lot like you."

"I look like him? Are you kidding me? How do I resemble this lunatic?!" An Xiaohai scoffed.

"I can't quite put my finger on it..." Pan Zhuangzhuang frowned seriously and shook his head slightly: "It just feels very similar, and you two look a bit alike, especially your eyebrows, mouth, and eyes..."

Oh right, I know what's similar! Your eyes are so alike! Sometimes, when our eyes meet, it feels like I'm looking at you.

And also, when he's quiet, he's exactly the same as when you're quiet, yes, that's it.

"Come on, are you out of your mind? How could you have such a strange idea..."

"That's true, I think if you were a little crazier, you'd be even more like him."

"Shut up!"

"Hey you two, it's very impolite to talk bad about people behind their backs!" For some reason, Xu Tianyou suddenly rushed back and rolled his eyes at An Xiaohai as soon as he entered the room.

"You just bought breakfast and came back?" An Xiaohai rolled his eyes at him without backing down.

"No, there's a mirror downstairs, and I noticed my hair was messed up. It looks bad, it affects my image! So I came back to fix it, and then I overheard you talking about me behind my back, unbelievable!"

"..."

Xu Tianyou picked up his backpack from the ground, found a comb, and carefully combed his hair. Then, with his hands in his pockets, he sauntered around and turned to leave again. Once outside, he stuck his head out and said, "Pan Zhuangzhuang, you have good taste! I'm rooting for you! Ha!"

Xu Tianyou laughed exaggeratedly twice and finally went to buy breakfast.

Xu Tianyou's trip lasted a full half hour. When he returned, he carried a huge pile of things: steamed buns, mantou, fried dough sticks, porridge, and everything imaginable. Incredibly, he also brought half a roast duck.

I really don't know where he got that roast duck so early in the morning.

"Can you eat more politely? Don't make such a loud noise, okay?" An Xiaohai said, frowning.

"Sorry, I'm used to it, it feels great! Ouch!"

Xu Tianyou wiped the oil off his mouth with a tissue, let out a comfortable groan, and then lay down again. His smug look made An Xiaohai grit his teeth in hatred.

Pan Zhuangzhuang insisted that An Xiaohai and Xu Tianyou rest first, and An Xiaohai couldn't persuade him otherwise, so he had to let him go.

As time passed, once it was past 8 a.m., the number of pedestrians and vehicles on Guoqiang South Road immediately increased, like a large stone being thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.

An Xiaohai dared not lie down any longer. The situation on the road was becoming increasingly complicated. Pan Zhuangzhuang had been working hard all night, and An Xiaohai was afraid that he would make a mistake, so he stood beside him and observed the situation together.

Xu Tianyou was still lying there, but An Xiaohai realized that he wasn't actually sleeping or even resting. He really didn't know what this guy was up to.

At 8:10, Xu Tianyou suddenly sat up, quickly got up and rushed to An Xiaohai's side, looking out the window with a sly glint in his eyes.

"What's wrong? What did you find out?" An Xiaohai frowned deeply.

"Here it is, the car we've been waiting for has arrived."

"What?!"

"Don't speak, the money truck is here, look, it's that one!"

Following Xu Tianyou's directions, An Xiaohai saw a black Mercedes-Benz MPV slowly driving into the underground parking garage of Cuifeng Building.

"Let's go, pack our things, get in the car, and get ready to go after him!"

Xu Tianyou quickly packed his things, and An Xiaohai and Pan Zhuangzhuang also hurried to help.

"Explain yourself clearly, why are you so sure it's that car?" An Xiaohai asked while tidying up.

"I've already told you, all you do is go to school and go to jail, you don't know anything!"

What kind of vehicle is suitable for transporting valuables? First, it should be safe and reliable; second, it should have strong performance; third, it should ideally be bulletproof and riot-proof; and fourth, it should have ample space.

That car just now perfectly fits all four criteria.

"I understand the first and fourth points, but how did you know the second and third points? You didn't even look at them at the beginning!"

"I heard it!" Xu Tianyou made an exaggerated expression of surprise: "Can't you tell that the car's engine has been modified?"

The engine cylinders of that car were cut by at least two centimeters to reduce space and shorten the piston stroke, increasing horsepower and explosive power by at least 10% to 20%. In addition, the turbocharger was modified for heat dissipation.

Can't you hear such an obvious difference in sound?

As for the third point, that's because I'm not blind. I saw it just now. That car has bulletproof glass, how could you not see that?

Xu Tianyou shrugged dramatically, while An Xiaohai gritted his teeth in hatred: "You did this on purpose, didn't you? If you knew this would happen, why did you let Zhuangzhuang stay here foolishly guarding the place all night?"

"I'm innocent! This is just a possibility! How was I supposed to know they would actually use a vehicle like this to transport things? What if I'm wrong?"

"Hai, what's wrong with you?! Why have you become so stupid? Don't scare me!" Xu Tianyou said in a strange voice, mimicking Pan Zhuangzhuang's tone.

An Xiaohai's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Indeed, Xu Tianyou always managed to provoke him, causing his thinking ability and judgment to plummet.

"Alright, enough arguing! Hurry up and pack your things and get in the car. If that car really starts going, we won't be able to catch it!"

Xu Tianyou had already packed his things while he was talking. Actually, there wasn't much to pack; it was just a bag and a sleeping mat.

An Xiaohai knew this wasn't the time to be angry, so he quickly cleaned up the scene again, gritted his teeth, and followed Xu Tianyou downstairs.

"This guy is so annoying... After this is all over, I'm definitely going to give him a good beating! Yes, that's settled!"

An Xiaohai thought bitterly.
