Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Even if fate is turbulent, even if fate is full of twists and turns, even if fate threatens you with the idea that life is meaningless...

…Don't shed tears of sorrow, and never give up. I wish to be with you forever…

Oh oh oh…

At three or four in the morning, three young people and a dog were waving skewers and singing loudly on the street, freely expressing their emotions.

Wangcai's belly was round and full, but it was still not in high spirits. There was no way around it; the things it was carrying were just too heavy.

too tired!

After extreme tension comes extreme frenzy, as if only in this way can all the tension accumulated in the body be dissipated.

All three of them had drunk some alcohol. An Xiaohai showed no signs of anything amiss, Xu Tianyou's face was a little pale, and Kunji had drunk the most, his face was flushed.

The three of them didn't count the money hidden in Wangcai's vest. They just took one bill and used it to pay for their late-night snack. This scared the barbecue stall owner so much that he had to ask several of his colleagues for change.

I'm too lazy to count, but it's definitely enough, not only enough, but far more than enough.

"This money came so easily! Xiao Hai, how is your brain structured? How do you have an endless stream of ingenious ideas? It's amazing, I really want to crack it open and see!"

Xu Tianyou took a big bite of the lamb skewer and said as he chewed.

"Get out of here!" An Xiaohai said with a wry smile.

An Xiaohai knew very well that he was able to come up with such a method not because he was particularly clever, but because he had stolen 30 years of time.

The same case happened four years later, except those guys were unlucky and were subdued on the spot.

That pass was extremely difficult to defend.

"Boss, you're my boss! An Xiaohai is my Kunji's boss, my boss for life! Kunji will stick with you!..." Kunji was already a little drunk.

"Damn... that was so exciting! It's a pity I had to get rid of the clothes and gun, otherwise I really wanted to do it again tomorrow. This money is so easy to come by, easier than selling drugs."

Xu Tianyou sighed, and An Xiaohai glared at him.

"We can't do this anymore, we absolutely can't do it again, not tomorrow, not ever again."

"Why? I think those truck drivers are easy to fool."

"They're easy to bluff at the border, but once they cross, just wait and see."

"Are they going to report us?"

"Of course we'll sue. Do you think their money comes from thin air?"

"You're right, it's a pity."

"It's not a pity. You can never earn all the money in the world. Take your time, there's no rush."

"You're not in a hurry? I'm really worried for you. Here, take this," Xu Tianyou said as he handed something to An Xiaohai.

An Xiaohai took it and saw that it was a necklace with a uniquely shaped Buddha statue as the pendant, which was carved with intricate patterns.

It's quite pretty, but it's a bit big and heavy. The material seems to be silver, and there's a huge red gemstone set in the center. I don't know if it's real or fake.

"What is this?"

"This is a good thing. I got it from Thailand and even had a high monk bless it. Wear it and keep it with you. It will bring you good luck. Look, I have one too."

Xu Tianyou pulled open his clothes, and sure enough, he was wearing a necklace with the same design around his neck, except that the gem in the middle was blue.

"Put it on now, let me help you put it on."

"Alright, I can do it myself!" An Xiaohai dodged Xu Tianyou's outstretched hand and put on the necklace himself.

"Promise me you won't take it off unless absolutely necessary, and don't let anyone touch it, except for your sister-in-law," Xu Tianyou said earnestly. An Xiaohai had never seen him so serious before.

"Alright, I'll keep wearing it... How cringeworthy!" An Xiaohai looked at the necklace again and said with a wry smile.

What does "chuunibyou" mean?

"He's just a bit simple-minded."

"I don't care, you promised me you'd wear it all the time, I'm serious!"

"Alright, that's enough. No need to emphasize it anymore. I promise you, I'll keep wearing it!" An Xiaohai rolled her eyes at Xu Tianyou.

"What are your plans for the future?"

"I plan to open a shop on Guoqiang South Road."

"Selling electronics? Do you want me to introduce you to a source?... Oh, no, you don't need me to introduce you. You're on such good terms with Third Brother, just ask him about the supply and everything will be taken care of. You don't need my help."

"You've already helped me a lot, so I won't say thank you. I plan to run this shop as a legitimate business; I won't consider selling counterfeit goods for now."

"If you run a legitimate business, what about Kun Kee? Why don't you let him work for me for a couple of years?"

"No, Kunji can't go with you; he has to be responsible for sourcing the goods."

……

"Alright, your matter is resolved, that's about it. I should go now, it's been several days."

"This is so sudden. You still have a lot of things at my house. Do you want to go back and get them?" An Xiaohai didn't dare to keep Xu Tianyou. He was already being very kind by taking a week out of his time to fool around with him.

"No need, you can pack it for me. I'll be coming again in the future anyway, so I won't have to bring any clothes then."

"You're like a persistent ghost!" An Xiaohai said with a wry smile.

"Don't worry, I told you, I'm sticking with you for life. Alright, I'm leaving!" Xu Tianyou said as he stood up.

"Don't be in such a hurry, the money hasn't been divided yet."

"Don't worry about me, I'm already so happy to have played with you. Today was fucking awesome! It was totally worth it!"

"That won't do. Even brothers should keep clear accounts."

"That works too. Here's what we'll do: I'll keep it with you for now. If I ever run into trouble, at least I'll have some money with you."

"Okay, I'll keep it for you."

An Xiaohai didn't stand on ceremony with Xu Tianyou, since the guy wasn't short of money anyway.

"Oh, right, there's another gift for you."

Xu Tianyou then took out something and slapped it into An Xiaohai's hand. An Xiaohai looked down and saw that it was a photograph of a middle-aged woman and a red Santana.

"Who is this woman?"

"I don't know. All I know is that this woman's name is Chen Huizhu. Six days ago, she stayed at the Four Seas Hotel."

The day you were released, I happened to be here on business. When I heard you were coming out, I immediately went to wait for you outside the First Prison.

The woman was there too; she was hiding in the car watching you. After you left, she left and went back to the Four Seas Hotel.

I originally intended to continue following her, but my brothers have other important matters to attend to, so I can only go as far as I can. You can decide what to do yourself.

"Okay, thanks!" An Xiaohai put the photos away.

Although we don't know who this woman named Chen Huizhu is, the photo shows the license plate number, so we should be able to find out by some means.

Were there any other people outside the prison that day?

Yes, there are quite a few people!

Guo Xiangshui and his daughter lingered at the prison gate for a long time, probably waiting for you; and the fourth brother of the Chaotou Gang, who is the third brother's younger brother, probably saw me, so he didn't show up.

I don't know about the others; I only found these few groups of people.

"Okay, thanks."

"Is this how you thank me? You should at least give me a goodbye hug."

"Thank you!" An Xiaohai gave Xu Tianyou a big hug without hesitation, hugging him tightly.

"Let's go!" Xu Tianyou patted An Xiaohai's shoulder hard, turned around and left without looking back. Xu Tianyou's Mercedes was already waiting for him at the street corner.

Watching Xu Tianyou's car disappear from sight, An Xiaohai let out a long sigh of relief.

"Come on, Kwan Kee, let's go home."

"Time to go home..." Kunji's drunkenness became increasingly obvious.

-------

Meanwhile, in Zhou Meng's office at the Third Detachment of the Armed Police.

An armed police officer was carefully reporting the details to Zhou Meng, while the other armed police officers all had their heads down, looking dejected.

Zhou Meng's eyes widened in anger, and a thousand strange animals seemed to be running through his mind!

Those Hong Kong container truck drivers were no pushovers; after they passed through customs, they began reporting An Xiaohai and his associates for soliciting bribes.

At first, the armed police officers didn't take it seriously, thinking that these drivers were just looking for trouble. They thought they were crazy to be so blatantly soliciting bribes!

However, as the number of similar complaints increased, everyone realized that the situation was serious, so they reported the situation to Zhou Meng.

Zhou Meng's bodyguard, who was also the jeep driver, tried to say something several times, but Zhou Meng glared at him fiercely and shut him up.

In fact, Zhou Meng felt something was wrong as soon as he returned to the team, so he quickly checked if there was a new recruit named Zhang Tiejun in the team, and sure enough, the check revealed a problem.

There is no such person at all!

Zhou Meng immediately sensed that something was very wrong! Now, combined with the report, it became clear what had happened not long ago.

"Damn it... they actually tried to scam me! This is infuriating!" Zhou Meng's expression was strange; he didn't know whether to lash out or not, but one thing was certain:

This matter must not be known to anyone! Otherwise, my lifelong reputation will be ruined!

"You little bastards! You've got some nerve! You dare to sneak onto my turf... You just wait, I'll remember what you look like! Don't let me catch you, or I'll beat the shit out of you!..."

Zhou Meng gritted his teeth as he thought this, while the armed police officers remained silent in fear.

The squad leader's expression this week was terrifying; he's really had terrible luck!
