Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"Because I investigated you, you are her child!" Dr. Yu's tears, which she had managed to hold back, fell again.

"Actually, as long as Li Hao doesn't send you too far, it shouldn't be too difficult for me to find you. I just need to keep an eye on the hospitals in Bao'an County and see what strange things happened during that time."

Coincidentally, during that period, two hospitals experienced a series of strange events, especially Xiaguang Hospital, where not only did people die and a fire break out, but both involved the obstetrics and gynecology departments. This made Xiaguang Hospital even more suspicious, and an investigation was bound to uncover some clues.

"Xiaguang Hospital?"

"It was the predecessor of Xiadong Town People's Hospital."

At that time, there were several hospitals of varying sizes in the Xiadong Town area, the largest of which was Xiaguang Hospital. Later, all of these hospitals were merged to form the current Xiadong Town People's Hospital.

"How did you find out? Weren't you wanted by the police?"

"I'm a member of the medical system, and I've been in the system for so long, I must have one or two good friends."

Six months after it happened, I called my best friend. As soon as he answered, he told me not to go back, saying that many strange things were happening in the medical system, and that he was the one who had told me so much.

"Who is this person?"

"I'm sorry, I can't say. I can't betray him. Please don't bother him. He works at the city hospital and doesn't know the details."

Over the years, I've only contacted him a few times; I don't want to implicate him.

"How did you find out about me? When did you find out about me?"

"I only found out about you in 84, when you were 10 years old."

Before this, although I had narrowed it down to two hospitals, I didn't dare to go for a check-up because I was afraid of being recognized.

In 82, I saved two thieves. They were very grateful and would often come to see me and give me things. After I got to know them, I asked them to steal the archives of Xiadong Town Hospital. Those archives were obviously reconstructed later.

On February 18, 1974, only 13 boys were born at Xiadong Town Hospital. It took me over a year to verify each one before I finally found you.

"Why did you think of checking the hospital? Isn't Li Hao very capable? He took the two children away, but he might not necessarily put them in a hospital."

"Because his behavior was very abnormal! He didn't need to take the baby out that way at all; he could have just waited for the baby to be born smoothly!"

At first, I was completely baffled. Later, I contacted a friend and heard about the strange things that happened in the hospital system, which made me realize that it was related to this.

Li Hao was in such a hurry to have the baby delivered on February 18th, even completely disregarding the mother's life. He must have had a purpose. Whatever he was planning, it meant that the baby had to be born at that time.

But why would he do that? After thinking it over and over, I can only come up with one reason: he wants to use his child to replace other children.

I've thought about this problem for years, and this is the only reason I can come up with.

"How did you choose me from among 13 children?"

"This isn't difficult. The way you look at me is exactly the same as the way Qin Qin looks at me, exactly the same!" Doctor Yu covered his face in pain.

"You've seen me, and even had contact with me?" An Xiaohai frowned slightly.

"Yes, I secretly went to the outskirts of your village to look at you many times, and even asked you for directions. You had just finished school and were walking home hand in hand with a little girl with two braids and wearing a floral dress."

I stopped you and asked you which way to Shatoujiao Village, and you gave me directions. I wanted to chat with you a bit more, but that little girl was very cautious and pulled you away.

An Xiaohai's brows gradually relaxed; he remembered this matter very clearly.

Lin Xuan'er was the one who went home with An Xiaohai that day. Lin Xuan'er was very certain that the person who asked for directions was not a good person and must be a human trafficker, because she had seen this person at the village entrance when she came home from school the day before yesterday.

At this moment, the image of the man who asked for directions that day finally overlapped with the image of Dr. Yu standing before him. Dr. Yu had changed so much; he looked like a completely different person.

"Was it you who impersonated my dad and sent money home?"

"Yes..." Dr. Yu nodded through gritted teeth: "When I feel really upset, I go for a walk around your neighborhood. That's how I gradually learned a lot about your family."

I noticed that you and your son were having a tough time, so I was thinking of ways to help you.

Once, I mustered up the courage to knock on your door. Your mother opened the door, and I stuffed the money into her hand and then turned and left.

But your mother stopped me. She asked if I was sent by Zheran. I had a sudden thought and decided to admit it.

Your mother cried right then and there, and she pulled me aside and asked me a lot of questions about your father.

I just gave you a perfunctory answer. Luckily, your mother is very naive and didn't suspect anything. She even told me a lot about your father.

Later, I would often use this identity to send money to your mother, but I would always choose times when you weren't home.

I'm afraid of meeting you, I'm afraid of seeing your eyes.

Your mother always tells me not to come when you're home, saying she doesn't want to evoke bad memories for you.

She's a good mother, she loves you so much. You have no idea how worried she was when you were in jail…

"I know, you don't need to tell me."

"Yes, I don't need to say it, and I'm not qualified to say it."

Seeing that you were living well, I visited less often after that. However, whenever I saved up some money, I would try to send it to your mother. Sometimes I would go by myself, but most of the time I would ask someone else to help me.

"Why didn't you recognize me when I first came here?"

"How could I have imagined it would be you! How could I have imagined that you would appear in front of me like that? In fact, I rarely pay attention to the appearance of patients, nor do I want to. My eyes are only on the wounds."

To be honest, even if I had noticed you then, I wouldn't have recognized you.

Why?

"Your eyes have changed. They're completely different from when you were a child. There's not a trace of Qin Qin in them anymore."

"So... do I look like that Li Hao?"

Dr. Yu raised his head and looked at An Xiaohai carefully for a while before finally shaking his head: "It doesn't look like him. At least I can't tell. The outline of the eyes is very similar, but the eyes are not similar at all."

But none of that matters. It took me a long time to realize that Li Hao must have been wearing makeup, but his makeup skills were so superb that he fooled me.

"What's the difference between Li Hao's eyes and mine?"

"His eyes are very expressive, but upon closer inspection, you'll find that there's no emotion in them; you're different, your eyes are full of emotion."

"You can tell from that?"

"I can feel it."

"If you saw Li Hao's hands again, would you still recognize them?"

"Yes! Of course I can! Even if it turns to ashes, I'll still recognize it!"

The room fell silent, deathly silent. After a long while, An Xiaohai spoke again: "Repeat what you just told me."

"what?"

"Repeat everything you just told me, from beginning to end!" An Xiaohai's voice was authoritative and full of pressure.

hiss~

Dr. Yu took a deep breath. Although he didn't understand, he still began the second retelling of the story under the immense pressure, as An Xiaohai had requested.

This time, An Xiaohai didn't interrupt him or ask any questions; he just listened silently.

Dr. Yu's account was almost identical to the previous one, but perhaps because his emotions had stabilized considerably, this time there were more details.

After Dr. Yu finished speaking, the room fell into a deathly silence once again.

After an unknown amount of time, An Xiaohai stood up, supporting himself on the chair arm. Perhaps because he was too weak, his body swayed violently the moment he straightened up.

Dr. Yu was startled and wanted to step forward to help him up, but An Xiaohai quickly regained his balance.

An Xiaohai stood there for a while, regulated his breathing, and then tapped the table. Yeren and Acha immediately came over and helped him up.

"Thank you, Dr. Yu, thank you for everything you've done."

I'm leaving. Live your life well. Don't take all the blame on yourself. There's no need. The real culprit is Li Hao.

"Just bear with it a little longer. Once I've wiped out Li Hao and all his cronies, you can live in the sunlight again."

An Xiaohai spoke softly, his voice filled with exhaustion, as Yeren and Acha helped him slowly walk towards the door.

"Waaah..." Dr. Yu covered her face and cried again.

"Wait! Please wait! Is there anything I can do? I don't want to hide here and live like a cockroach anymore! Tell me! What can I do?!"

Just as An Xiaohai stepped out of the room, Dr. Yu suddenly stood up and asked loudly.

An Xiaohai turned around and stared into Dr. Yu's eyes for a long while: "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure! Absolutely sure! I don't want to live like this anymore, drifting aimlessly! Please, let me help you! I'll do anything for you!"

"Very well, then you can come with me. There will always be things for you to do."

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll get something and be right back!"

Dr. Yu, with a burst of strength from who knows where, suddenly jumped up from the ground, rushed out of the ward to the storage room at the end of the corridor, and soon came out carrying an old-fashioned canvas bag.

Judging from this, he had been preparing these escape tools all along.

"You still keep that blood-stained clothes?" An Xiaohai asked with a smile, though his eyes were very red.

"No, no more," Dr. Yu shook his head. "I didn't dare keep them, so I burned them, but I kept two pieces in my bag."

"good!"

An Xiaohai nodded and led everyone towards the door. As soon as they stepped out of the clinic, they saw Old Wu squatting by the door smoking, with several of the Wild Man's brothers watching him.

"Old Wu, what's wrong?"

"Brother Hai!" Old Wu immediately threw away his cigarette butt: "There was a little accident. About an hour ago, Captain Tang and his men were having a late-night snack nearby when they saw A Lai and the others waiting for you at the alley entrance. For some reason, he also started waiting there."

"Didn't I tell you not to tell Ah Lai and the others?"

"Hehe!" Old Wu grinned, "How could I not tell? If Ah Lai and the others found out about this, they would kill me!"

Brother Hai, please forgive me. I know you didn't want the brothers to know you were coming, it was all for their own good, but the brothers can't bear to part with you!

Without you, we'd still be a bunch of thugs, getting beaten up every day. How could we have the good life we ​​have today?!

"Let the brothers see you off. You can punish me however you want. Or I'll kowtow to you!" Old Wu said as he knelt on the ground.

"Alright, get up! Is Captain Tang still here?"

"Yes, he's here," Old Wu said, jumping up in a flash. "I just checked on him, and he's still here. Ah Lai and his gang are blocking him from coming in. The other police officers seem to have already left."

"Is he alone?"

Yes, it was just him alone.

"Oh, that's all right now, let's go."

"Brother Hai, how about I take you on a detour? You're feeling... hehe!"

"It's alright, there are so many of us, why would we be afraid of just one Captain Tang?"

"That's true! We can always fight them to the death! Ha!"

Old Wu scratched his head and followed An Xiaohai toward the alley entrance.
