Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"Damn it! I may treat you like a brother, but let me make it clear, I'm not a country bumpkin!"

"Tianyou, take it easy. Although I'm very confident, there are always risks in doing business, you know what I mean?"

"What's there to be afraid of? If we lose money, we can just run away. You promised to support me anyway."

"Alright..." An Xiaohai rolled his eyes at Xu Tianyou again: "You need to be careful. This matter absolutely cannot be leaked. How are you going to tell those generals? When are you going to tell them? You must think carefully before you act."

"I understand!" Xu Tianyou nodded seriously. At this moment, he had become the cold and aloof Buddha again. This seamless switching between states often made An Xiaohai feel uneasy.

"Wait a minute, Hai-ge, I was wondering why you started eyeing Zhu Polong. So that's what you were after all this time! What a huge scheme you're dealing with!"

"That is indeed one of the reasons, but it's not the main reason."

"Fine, you can keep it from me then!" Xu Tianyou let out a long sigh, propped his head up on his arm, and lay down on the bed. "I can't stay here any longer. I have to go back tomorrow."

I see you're short-handed here, so you can keep the Savage and Red Cannon for yourself.

"I managed to get Hongpao out of prison with great difficulty, and Yeren is someone I brought from the village. They're both very loyal, and they'll only be loyal to me. You can use them without worry."

"Okay, I understand," An Xiaohai agreed. He was indeed severely understaffed. There were ten trucks transporting money over there, and if they were all dispatched at the same time, he couldn't keep up with them all.

Even with the addition of Savage and Red Cannon, An Xiaohai still doesn't have enough manpower. It seems he needs to find some help...

It was almost lunchtime, and An Xiaohai was just thinking about where to take Xu Tianyou for a nice meal when the phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

Who are you looking for?

"Brother Hai, it's me!" Peng Li's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Ali, what's wrong? Did something happen?" An Xiaohai asked, frowning.

"Yes, something unexpected happened," Ali said anxiously. "It was Luo Jue. He challenged Brother Lai to a one-on-one match this afternoon, and Brother Lai has already agreed."

"It was him? Wasn't he terrified that day? Why would he suddenly jump out and challenge Ah Lai to a duel?"

"I heard he's found a backer, apparently a big shot in Luotian District. He's very powerful, and supposedly has hundreds of men under him. Brother Lai has already agreed, but he won't let me tell you."

But I feel like the other side is definitely not simple. They clearly know that you have weapons, Brother Hai, and they still dare to do this. I'm afraid Brother Lai will get hurt, so..."

"You did the right thing; you told me the time and place we agreed to meet."

"3 PM, Baoshan Square."

"I understand. Don't worry, I'll be there when the time comes."

"Thanks, boss!" Ali hung up the phone.

"Wow! Our Brother Hai has actually taken on a new underling and even arranged a fight with someone. How fun is that!?" Xu Tianyou said with a smug look on his face and his eyes shining.

While An Xiaohai was on the phone, this guy had already leaned in to listen.

"Damn it, you're allowed to have your own underlings, but I can't have a few to play with?"

"Who is it? Who could possibly catch Hai Ge's eye? Do I know them?"

"You don't know him, his name is Wang Bulai."

"Never heard of it."

"Ah Lai used to be in the First Prison too. He was locked up with me for a few days. He's a nice guy, with a big heart, but he's a bit short."

"Being short doesn't matter, good things come in small packages! You're going to fight someone this afternoon, can you take me with you?"

"Are you itching for a fight? How old are you? Why do you still want to get into fights?"

"It really itches, my whole body itches! I haven't seen you fight in a long time, I wonder if you're still cool when you fight now."

"Of course he's handsome! But it's best not to fight if you can't handle it, it's troublesome if something goes wrong."

As An Xiaohai was speaking, his phone rang again; this time it was Ah Huo calling.

"Do you know what's going on in Baoshan District?" Ah Huo asked, getting straight to the point without any preamble.

"I just found out, but I don't know who the helper Luo Jue found is."

"It's from Taoji."

"Tao Ji? That little brother of Brother Ba?"

"Yes, that's the guy. He probably got a lot of money."

"Okay, I understand."

"Xiao Hai, let me remind you, what I mean is... it's best to let them fight first before you show up. After they've suffered some losses, you can step in to help them resolve the situation. This is more effective than you intervening directly. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood."

"Good that you understand. In the underworld, you can't be too soft-hearted."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," An Xiaohai said, ending the call with Ah Huo.

"Hey, Hai-ge, who's this guy again? He sounds pretty interesting."

"Ah Huo, a very good brother."

"You suddenly have so many brothers, and you didn't even tell me! You didn't introduce me to them either. I'm heartbroken!"

"Get lost!" An Xiaohai bit his lip. "Tianyou, you'd better not get to know Ah Huo. Even if we get involved with him in the future, you need to keep your distance from him, understand?"

Xu Tianyou raised an eyebrow at An Xiaohai, but ultimately nodded.

"Alright, let's talk about this this afternoon. Let's find a place to eat first."

"No, you guys go eat, I'll go do something else first."

"What are you up to now, old man?"

"Of course I'm going to get a motorcycle, and get a makeover while I'm at it! I'm supposed to have a fight this afternoon, something so cool needs to be styled properly first!"

"Why bother with a motorcycle? Why make things so complicated? Can't you just drive your car?"

"No way! Of course not!" Xu Tianyou shook his head quickly. "If we drive, who will see our dashing figures?! This kind of thing is definitely more exciting if we ride motorcycles, so that everyone can see us clearly!"

I've even come up with a name for us: the Motorcycle Duo, destined to dominate Baoshan District! Haha!

"Alright, you guys go eat. I'm going to prepare. Wait for me, see you in a bit!" Xu Tianyou said and ran off in a flash, leaving An Xiaohai both amused and exasperated.

An Xiaohai and Pan Zhuangzhuang had just finished eating when Xu Tianyou returned excitedly, having changed all his clothes.

He wore a black leather jacket, a white shirt, jeans, and black leather shoes, and sported blond hair and large sunglasses that covered half his face.

To be honest, he is quite handsome, and bears a striking resemblance to Aaron Kwok from Hong Kong.

"Come on, hurry up and change!"

Xu Tianyou tossed a package to An Xiaohai, who opened it and found it contained a set of clothes similar to his own.

"Isn't that unnecessary?!" An Xiaohai broke out in a cold sweat. If they really did that, it would feel so childish!

An Xiaohai imagined the scene of the two of them appearing at the fight scene dressed like this. He thought it would be so embarrassing that they would dig their toes out of their mouths.

"Stop nagging! I finally get a chance to shine in public, can't you just cooperate for a second?!"

"Fine, fine..." An Xiaohai waved his hand impatiently and went into his room to change his clothes.

Seeing Xu Tianyou's face flushed with excitement, An Xiaohai's heart softened instantly. Xu Tianyou was a child with an incomplete childhood. Since he was so enthusiastic, he might as well go along with his craziness.

Baoshan Square

More and more hooligans gathered, their clothes bulging, clearly hiding weapons, which frightened the local residents and they all left the square.

The people in the square were clearly divided into two groups. The smaller group, consisting of Wang Bulai and his group, numbered about thirty or forty people. The larger group was three or four times their size, and more people kept coming from all directions to join them.

Wang Bulai's eyes were a little red. He was gripping a machete tightly in his right hand and a cloth strip in his left hand, which he was tightly wrapping around the hand holding the machete.

In this situation, once you start fighting, blood will definitely be drawn. The blood will make the knife handle very slippery, and if the knife slips from your hand, you're doomed.

"Ah Lai, they don't seem like they want to fight you one-on-one. They're clearly trying to gang up on you! Why don't we avoid this for now and call Brother Hai over? A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle!"

Ali's eyes turned red with anxiety.

Wang Bulai did not answer, but instead used his left hand and teeth to tighten the cloth strip on his hand, tying a knot that was impossible to untie.

Xie Dan grinned, pushed Ali aside, and stood next to Wang Bulai. He had machetes in both hands, which were also tied tightly with strips of cloth.

Ali knew he couldn't persuade him anymore, so he gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, grabbed a machete, and started wrapping cloth around his hand.

Since the brothers are all willing to fight to the death, then damn it, let's fight!
