Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Xu Congzhou went to hand over the work to Lai Donglin. An Xiaohai thought for a while longer before picking up the phone and dialing Uncle Xiao Hei's number.

"Xiao Hai, the ship is being modified, everything is going smoothly. How's it going on your end?"

"Everything is going smoothly on our end too, it's just that the wait is a bit tough."

"Yes, waiting is the hardest part..." Uncle Xiao Hei let out a soft breath: "Xiao Hai, don't rush, keep a calm mind. Many things can't be rushed. The more anxious you are, the more it will affect your judgment."

"Yes, I'll be careful. Uncle Black, do you know anything about Rhodes Prison?"

"Rhodes Prison? I know it... Do you suspect that it's controlled by those bandits?"

"Yes, I think that's quite possible."

"Wait, Xiao Hai, wait a minute..." Uncle Xiao Hei interrupted An Xiao Hai:

"Now that you mention it, I'm reminded of something. I remember someone from our village was arrested near the Rhodes Islands and imprisoned for more than half a year. I just don't know if they were imprisoned in Rhodes Prison."

"There's such a thing?"

"This kind of thing happens all the time!"

We're fishing normally, but they always find various reasons to make things difficult for us.

The kid from our village was a bit hot-blooded. He argued with them for a bit, and then they arrested him. He was locked up for a full six months before being released. I just don't know if he's being held at Rhodes Prison.

"Can Uncle Xiao Hei find this person?"

"It shouldn't be a big problem, but it might take some time."

"Don't worry about taking time. Here's what we'll do: don't worry about anything else for now. First, find this person and find out if he's being held in Rhodes Prison. If so, it would be best to bring him here. There are some things I need to ask him in person."

"Okay, leave it to me. Now... about going to Parthia to pick you up..."

"It's not important, you don't need to worry about it. It's the same if we meet in Rhodes Island."

"Then there's no problem at all. Don't worry, I'll find a way to locate the child right away, and I'll let you know as soon as I find him."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Xiao Hei. Be careful."

"I will be careful."

After hanging up the phone, An Xiaohai took a deep breath and stood up. If this young man from the same village as Uncle Hei had been imprisoned in Rhodes Prison for half a year, then the big problem would be solved.

Uncle Xiaohei's reminder just now also made An Xiaohai realize that he had indeed been too hasty lately, and this mentality was actually quite dangerous.

Looking back on my recent series of actions, everything seemed rushed, especially the battle at the Turtle Islands. If I had spent more time preparing, it wouldn't have been so dangerous.

But I was still in a hurry!

Especially in the last two days, things have been at a standstill, and this anxiety has been seriously affecting An Xiaohai. As a result, he has completely lost interest in the upcoming financial war and is only thinking about how to find and locate the Flying Bird Gang's overseas base.

This kind of mentality is clearly abnormal.

An Xiaohai suddenly realized that An Zhehao was putting too much pressure on him. This wouldn't do. The struggle between the two sides had only just begun. If he fell into this mindset, he would surely lose.

An Xiaohai stood by the window and took deep breaths for a long time, finally forcing himself to calm down.

"You've been too tense; it's time to relax a bit..."

An Xiaohai picked up the phone and dialed several numbers. Half an hour later, An Xiaohai led a group of people out of the hotel and joined the crowd celebrating on the street.

"Hey, you finally figured it out! I thought you were going to suffocate yourself!" Xu Tianyou said, making a face at a few Thai girls not far away, which made them scream.

"Can't you be a little less flamboyant? Can't you be a little more low-key? Honestly!" An Xiaohai said without looking up. He was picking out handicrafts at a stall, planning to take them back to Lin Xuan'er to make her happy.

Bring some handicrafts; please skip the amulets and the like.

"A young man who isn't flamboyant isn't a true young man! Hai-ge!" Xu Tianyou continued flirting with the girls, "Honestly, you're so rich, yet you only buy your wife cheap stuff from street vendors!"

"You single dog, what do you know! It's the thought that counts. If a woman truly likes you, she'll be happy no matter what you give her. In Xuan'er's eyes, my money is her money, and she'll feel bad if I squander it."

"Damn! I got goosebumps..." Xu Tianyou exaggeratedly made a gesture of feeling cold all over.

"Hey, look at Bankun and his gang, why are they buying so many daily necessities? So much soap, toothbrushes, toilet paper, do they even need them?"

"You don't understand. That's exactly what they're lacking over there. They've come all this way, so naturally they want to bring back as much as they can."

"So that's how it is. I really don't know why these people make so much money."

"For survival!"

Not everyone can live happily under the sun. If these people cannot raise enough money to arm themselves, they will soon become slaves to the locals.

They had no other choice but to fight against fate in this way.

"You seem to sympathize with them quite a bit."

"I wouldn't call it sympathy, but rather a degree of understanding."

Like the wild people, they were born in a mountain village. If their world was just a mountain village, they could live a happy life.

But that won't work; they need to be exposed to the outside world.

People from the outside world will barge into their lives and tell them how backward they are, how difficult their lives are, how wonderful the outside world is, and what a happy life is.

And so, they truly began to become unhappy, yearning for life outside. But the glitz and glamour of the outside world were not something they could easily obtain.

If you want it but have no other way, you have no choice but to take the risk.

"Hey, what's with all this talk today? Like some philosopher, trying to steal my business?"

"Ha! You know you're always like this, like an old pedant, always lecturing people."

"What's wrong with disciplining you? I'm your older brother! I have to discipline you!"

"Alright, alright, you're my big brother, I'm scared of you! But big brother, keep an eye on that Ah Cai, he seems to be exchanging information with someone."

"I saw it. Don't bother him, let him do what he wants. If you have nothing else to do, go and talk to Alai, reassure him, and tell him not to be so nervous."

"Me, comfort him? Are you kidding me? Would that even work?"

"Of course it's useful! This money is nominally between the two of us. You have no idea how afraid others are of you. I guess Alai is also afraid that if he loses your money, you will cause trouble for me, which is why he's so nervous."

"Wow, you're amazing! You managed to blame it on me!"

"Stop arguing and get going. I finally found a capable underling, I can't let you scare him to death."

"You! I'm scared of you!" Xu Tianyou rolled his eyes and dragged Kunji along to have a heart-to-heart talk with Lai Donglin.

An Xiaohai smiled slightly and moved to another stall to continue selecting handicrafts.

Just then, An Xiaohai felt someone deliberately crowding towards him. His body tensed instantly, but he forced himself to relax again, pretending not to notice.

Sure enough, a moment later, a man in a work shirt squeezed up next to An Xiaohai. An Xiaohai didn't look up at him, but he could smell a faint fishy smell on him.

The man pretended to be selecting handicrafts as well, and casually nudged An Xiaohai with his elbow.

An Xiaohai's pupils constricted sharply!

This person is wearing a red rope bracelet on his wrist, which is almost identical to the bracelet on his wrist!
