Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

When An Xiaohai appeared in the hotel private room, the previously lively atmosphere froze instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on An Xiaohai's face.

Even Tian Qiaoming and Song Xiaoyu were the same. When they saw An Xiaohai yesterday, An Xiaohai's face was covered with gauze. Although the gauze covered a large area, seeing An Xiaohai's calm and composed appearance, they thought it was just an allergic reaction or something. They never expected that what was covered under the gauze was such a terrible wound.

"Xiao Hai, what happened to your face?" Ah Huo asked, frowning.

"Oh, I encountered some waves at sea and accidentally bumped into something. It's okay, I'm almost healed now. Don't stare at me like that, it makes me feel embarrassed!" An Xiaohai said with a smile.

Ah Huo's eyes reddened, and he quickly lowered his head.

Others might not be able to tell, but Ah Huo was very familiar with this kind of wound. This wasn't a scrape; it was clearly a bullet graze. This showed just how dangerous An Xiaohai had been during the more than one month he had been missing!

"An Xiaohai, don't take this lightly. I think your wound has damaged your facial nerves. It might not be a big problem now, but in the long run, the nerves will pull on the muscles, and it will change your whole face," Guo Fang said with a worried expression.

"Will I become more handsome or uglier?" An Xiaohai asked with a smile. In fact, the military doctor had already reminded An Xiaohai of this, but he hadn't taken it seriously.

"Well... it's hard to say. I don't care if I become handsome or ugly, I'm just afraid of becoming weird."

"Oh, you know quite a lot!"

"I heard from my classmate that his father is a fairly famous plastic surgeon in the United States, and he often tells us about some plastic surgery cases."

I have his father's contact information. I'll find it and give it to you. Go see his father when you have time.

"Oh, thank you so much!" An Xiaohai smiled and winked at Guo Fang. You could tell from the way she and Ah Huo were sitting together that the two of them had finally gotten together.

Guo Fang blushed and didn't say anything more.

"I don't think so. I think Hai-ge looks even more manly with this scar on his face!" Lao Ba was quite the talker.

"Yeah, yeah, Hai-ge looks even more menacing now! He's more like our big brother now, haha!" Er-mao is in good spirits, it seems he's completely moved on.

The atmosphere became lively again.

When Lai Donglin returned, he also brought back gifts that An Xiaohai had bought for everyone, a whole big box of them. An Xiaohai distributed the gifts to everyone.

Everyone was beaming with joy; An Xiaohai's gifts had touched everyone's hearts.

Er Mao, in particular, was so happy when he got the watch that he almost flew away.

The gathering officially began, and Ah Huo rallied his spirits and, on behalf of everyone, told An Xiaohai about the progress made during this period.

An Xiaohai then realized that in just over a month, they had opened more than 100 internet cafes throughout Shenhai City, and every single one of them was doing very well, with a promising future.

An Xiaohai also introduced Tian Qiaoming and his wife, as well as Lai Donglin, to everyone. In this era, learned people were still highly respected, and with An Xiaohai's endorsement, everyone quickly accepted them.

After Tian Qiaoming introduced the business scope of Qiaoyu Company, Ah Huo immediately made a decision to order 200 sets of monitoring systems to be installed in the internet cafe.

This way, even fewer people will dare to cause trouble in internet cafes. If anything happens, they can simply hand over the surveillance footage to the police, and that will be the end of it.

Lao Ba and Da Xian got excited when they heard this. After learning more about it, they actually ordered 1000 sets and installed them in the communities they controlled.

The couple, Tian Qiaoming and his wife, couldn't stop smiling. The hardest part of expanding the market is taking the first step.

Tian Qiaoming and his wife knew that as surveillance systems appeared more and more in various application scenarios, once people experienced their benefits, the market would be opened up quickly, and the road ahead would be much easier.

Song Xiaoyu looked at everyone curiously, glancing at An Xiaohai every now and then.

To be honest, Song Xiaoyu was very nervous when she first walked into the private room. The people in the room looked like gangsters, and she would usually keep her distance from them.

But after getting to know them, she found that they were all quite easy to get along with. She really didn't know how An Xiaohai managed to gather them all together.

After discussing business, they moved on to personal matters. Lao Ba was the most talkative and led the way for most of the time, making the atmosphere of the gathering increasingly harmonious. By the time the party ended and everyone dispersed, it was almost dinnertime.

Everyone was still a little reluctant to leave, but An Xiaohai ended the gathering.

As they were leaving, everyone else was exchanging contact information with Tian Qiaoming and his wife and Lai Donglin, and making arrangements for their next meeting. Er Mao ran to An Xiaohai's side and quietly told him about his third brother.

My third brother went to Malaysia, where he successfully obtained a new identity and met some fellow countrymen who were doing well there. He is now running a small business and is living a pretty good life.

Every time Third Brother contacted Er Mao, he would ask Er Mao to thank An Xiaohai and instruct him to stay close to An Xiaohai. The reason Third Brother didn't dare to call An Xiaohai directly was because he was afraid of implicating him.

An Xiaohai felt a mix of emotions. People are so complex, with both evil and good sides. But ultimately, those who walk different paths cannot work together.

Ah Huo refused to let An Xiaohai leave alone and insisted on driving him there himself. An Xiaohai did not refuse, which meant Ah Huo must have a lot to say to him.

But after getting into Ah Huo's car, Ah Huo remained unusually silent and didn't say a word until they arrived at the abandoned dock that the two of them often went to, at which point Ah Huo finally started talking.

"You're leaving again, aren't you?"

"Yes," An Xiaohai nodded.

"This time it'll take a long time, won't it?"

"Yes," An Xiaohai nodded again.

"How could you be so careless? You've hurt yourself like this again!"

"Hehe, the enemy isn't made of wood. They won't just stand there and let us shoot them. Don't worry, we haven't suffered any losses."

"That's good!"

"Have you officially started a relationship with Guo Fang?"

Ah Huo didn't say anything, he just took a deep drag on his cigarette.

"Ah Huo, listen to me, don't overthink it, just go for it if you like it! That's life, many times once you miss it, you can never get it back."

Guo Fang is a good girl; it would be a real shame to miss out on her.

"But……"

"No buts, you're not suited for office work, believe me."

So what if you lie to her? Just keep lying to her for the rest of your life. Consider it a strategist putting himself in the game. Dedicate your life to the peace of Deepsea City, control the Deepsea underworld—what a meritorious deed!

"You! You always manage to say things that are impossible to refute."

"Haha, the reason I can't refute it isn't because the words came out of my mouth, but because what I said makes sense."

"Hahahaha... Strategists getting involved themselves, where did you learn that from? Hahaha..." Ah Huo burst into laughter, and the gloom that had been hanging over his heart finally cracked open, letting in the sunlight.

The two chatted for a while longer when An Xiaohai's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that the caller ID could not be displayed; it was 073.

An Xiaohai gave Ah Huo a wink and ran to the side to answer the phone.

"Two things: First, he agreed without any hesitation; "

Second, the DNA comparison is complete. The remains you brought back belong to undercover agents of the Public Security Bureau and the Armed Police who have been missing for over a decade. We have confirmed their identities one by one. Please write down their names…”

073 told An Xiaohai the real names and original positions of all the undercover agents. An Xiaohai listened silently, his heart aching terribly.

"Do you think it's appropriate to report this to their employer?"

What's your opinion?

"I think we should have announced it earlier, but if we announce it here, the news is likely to leak, which will affect your subsequent actions."

Moreover, once the Flying Bird Gang finds out about this, they'll figure out the true purpose of your trip abroad, which will put you in danger.

"I think... we should just issue a small-scale notification."

It's been too long, their families have waited too long... We can't keep them waiting any longer, tell them the truth as soon as possible.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements."

"OK."

"Then our operation can begin, right?"

"Yes, now we're just waiting for their reply. By the way, have you gotten any clues about Lu Guoliang?"

"No, he's too cautious. We can't get any useful information from Lu Guoliang. I suspect he's probably controlling the Flying Bird Gang through someone else."

"I understand. That means it doesn't matter whether the Flying Bird Gang members are left alive or not."

"You could say that."

"That's wonderful! These people have committed so many evil deeds; they don't deserve a fair trial!"

"You... never mind, just be careful."

"Okay, bye."

"goodbye."

An Xiaohai put away his phone and returned to the dock. A seagull flew low over the sea. Perhaps it couldn't find any small fish or shrimp, it circled the surface of the sea once and then flew away and disappeared.

"A new mission?" Ah Huo asked in a low voice.

"Yes, it's not exactly a new mission, it's just some old missions that are due for an end."

"Sigh..." Ah Huo sighed softly, "I really want to fight alongside you..."

"You've always been fighting alongside me!" An Xiaohai chuckled and put his arm around Ah Huo's shoulder.

"Yeah?"

"Of course, even though you're not by my side, your presence gives me endless courage and strength."

"If that's the case, it would be our honor."

"Ha, let's not talk about that anymore. Come on, take me to Deep Sea University."

"I'm not going!" Ah Huo threw down his cigarette butt. "You're reuniting with your wife, why would I go and be a third wheel? You take this!"

Ah Huo tossed the car keys to An Xiaohai. He was now the big boss of Fuhai District, and he no longer drove a Santana, but a brand new Mercedes.

"Thanks, this is a good opportunity to go and show off a bit."

"What are you thanking me for? Go on, don't rush to return the car to me, you can stay as long as you want... Just be careful, don't hurt yourself again!"

"Don't worry, I'll be very careful. Goodbye."

"goodbye!"
