Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"Third Brother, eat something else, eat more, fill your stomach. I'm going out to get something. If anyone knocks on the door, don't answer it."

Third Brother's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth without saying a word, only nodding forcefully.

An Xiaohai got up and left, probably because he was in such a hurry that he forgot his phone. Looking at An Xiaohai's phone left on the table, Third Brother's tears fell again.

Ten minutes later, An Xiaohai returned with a schoolbag in his hand. Third Brother was also very obedient; he ate almost all the food on the table.

An Xiaohai opened his schoolbag, took out three gold bars, and stuffed them into his third brother's hand.

"Third Brother, make sure you hide the gold bars well, they're for your own safety, don't let anyone see them; this is $20,000, hide that too, it might come in handy in a critical moment."

There is 200,000 RMB and 100,000 HKD in the bag. If any danger occurs, use this money to save your life. I dare not give you too much more. Money can be tempting, and it would be troublesome if it aroused the bad intentions of others.

This watch is worth some money; you might find it useful if you wear it. Once you've settled in, contact me, and I'll try to send you more money...

As An Xiaohai carried things out, he gave instructions. Third Brother's tears never stopped. He was an old hand at this world and understood all of this. However, he listened carefully to An Xiaohai's instructions without making a sound. As soon as his tears welled up in his eyes, he would wipe them away with his sleeve.

Finally, An Xiaohai took a spare phone from his room and gave it to his third brother before leading him out the door.

The two arrived at the beach, where Yan Hong was already there.

"I told you not to dawdle, you're really the death of me! ... Damn it! Hurry up and put these on!" Yan Hong cursed as he threw two sets of military uniforms at An Xiaohai and his third brother.

An Xiaohai and his third brother started changing clothes, while Yan Hong jumped into the sea, pushed the boat into the deep water, and started the speedboat.

Along the way, they encountered several armed police vessels patrolling the sea, but Yan Hong easily dealt with them all. Two hours later, as the sky began to lighten, the ocean liner waiting for his third brother finally appeared on the distant horizon.

Only then did Third Brother's tense body relax.

"You two, change your clothes right now!" Yan Hong said, angrily changing into casual clothes.

"Captain Yan, why are you changing into this outfit? I think it looks pretty good on me, and it fits me well."

"Brother Hai, Master Hai! Stop messing with me! How many more people do you want to know that I was the one who sent you out?! Hurry up and change!"

An Xiaohai chuckled and changed back into casual clothes with his third brother.

As the small boat approached the ship, before climbing the rope ladder, Third Brother turned around and hugged An Xiaohai tightly.

"Xiao Hai, I'm leaving now. I won't thank you enough!"

"Third Brother, don't say that," An Xiaohai patted his third brother on the back, "Is there anything else I can do for you?"

"No, when you have time, just go and see your sister-in-law and a few of your nephews for me."

We brothers are all finished! The ones who went with Lao Si are all in jail too. That bastard A Lu ran away. The only people we can trust are A Huo and Er Mao.

I'm not worried about Ah Huo; he's very steady. The only one I'm worried about is Er Mao.

Er Mao is loyal, but he's young and too impulsive. He can't make decisions when faced with important matters. If you have the energy, could you help me out?

"Okay, I'll take care of Er Mao, Third Brother, don't worry."

"Then I'm relieved. I'm leaving now! I hope we can meet again in my lifetime."

"Yes, Third Brother will call me once he's settled in."

"Definitely! Goodbye!"

Third Brother climbed onto the ship, and Yan Hong turned the ship around and headed back.

Even after the speedboat had gone quite a distance, An Xiaohai could still see his third brother standing on the side of the boat, waving at them.

Watching his third brother's figure grow smaller and smaller, An Xiaohai felt a mix of emotions.

"How was it? How was my acting?" Yan Hong had already reverted to his cheeky self.

"It's alright..."

"Wow! I think I acted really well, okay?"

"That was too much force, a bit over the top."

"Hmm~ That makes a bit of a point. Oh well, I'll improve it later."

"Speaking of which, Xiaohai, why did you help Chen Zhihao?"

"To be honest, I don't know..." An Xiaohai sighed inwardly, "I don't think Third Brother is a completely wicked person. I feel a little guilty for hurting him so badly."

"I understand how you feel!" Yan Hong gently patted An Xiaohai's shoulder. "I also often have to betray some friends in the underworld. I've felt the same way you have before."

I asked my boss if this meant I lacked conviction. My boss told me that everyone would have this feeling.

The boss said that people like Chen Zhihao who engage in shady dealings actually have a positive effect on maintaining social stability. At least they can keep their unsettled subordinates in check, give them food, and prevent them from causing trouble outside.

So often, we'll turn a blind eye to things like our partner Chen Zhihao, unless they cross the line.

Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, don't feel guilty.

"Don't worry, I won't feel guilty. I'm just a little sentimental. By the way, Third Brother, you didn't come here on purpose, did you?"

"No, I suspect it's him who's deliberately running towards your house."

"Okay, I'm curious, is it against the rules for you to help me like this?"

"It's not against the rules. I reported it to the boss, and he told me to cooperate with you as much as possible, and he'll take care of anything that happens."

"Oh, I see. Thanks."

"Hey, let's not talk about that... By the way, where's the money?"

"What money?"

"Didn't you say you'd give me four million to get Chen Zhihao out of here?"

"Did I say that? I don't remember. Do you have any evidence? If you don't, go ahead and sue me."

"Holy crap, Hai-ge, you double-crossed me! Take this!"

The two started fooling around on the speedboat, but their laughter was completely drowned out by the roar of the engine.

As dawn broke, An Xiaohai and Yan Hong finally returned to the fishermen's dock in Apojiao Village. The two were wearing galoshes, carrying fishing rods, and each holding a bucket, looking as if they had just returned from fishing.

The two of them laughed and joked their way across the dock, but as soon as they stepped off the dock, their laughter stopped. Zhou Meng was standing in the middle of the road with his hands on his hips, his face so gloomy it could drip water.

"You two went fishing?"

Yan Hong swallowed hard, but still gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Go fishing! I'm sending you two fishing!" Zhou Meng gritted his teeth in hatred. He looked around but didn't see any suitable weapons. Finally, he rushed to a fishmonger and snatched his carrying pole.

run!

Before Yan Hong could react, An Xiaohai had already run dozens of meters away, throwing away the bucket and fishing rod—he didn't care! His life was more important!

By the time Yan Hong reacted, Zhou Meng had already rushed over with a carrying pole, swinging it towards Yan Hong's buttocks.

The carrying pole made a whooshing sound as it slammed solidly onto Yan Hong's buttocks.

Hearing the pig-like screams coming from behind, An Xiaohai felt a chill run down his spine and gritted his teeth, charging forward headfirst!

After Zhou Meng knocked Yan Hong down, he chased after him without saying a word and quickly closed the distance between himself and An Xiaohai.

There was no way around it; An Xiaohai was wearing rubber boots, so he couldn't run fast at all!

"It's over, I'm doomed this time!" An Xiaohai was filled with regret.

Zhou Meng was getting closer and closer, and just when An Xiaohai was starting to despair, a car suddenly came speeding from the side and screeched to a halt not far away.

The car door was pushed open, and Xu Congzhou, sitting in the back seat, kept waving at An Xiaohai.

An Xiaohai didn't care about anything else. He jumped into the car and sped off before the door could even close.

When Zhou Meng chased after the car to the road, he saw that it had almost disappeared from sight. Enraged, Zhou Meng slammed the carrying pole to the ground.

"Director Xu, if we just leave like this, what about Captain Yan? He's still behind us."

"Ah, Xiao Yan got caught... Oh, well, he's just unlucky. Don't worry, he won't confess."

"..."

"You're free right now, right?"

"I don't have anything else to do right now."

"Alright, come with me. Our boss is waiting to see you."

"Okay... Captain Yan will really be alright, right?"

"I don't think anything will happen. At most, I'll be in bed for a few days. I won't die."

"..."
