Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Twenty minutes later, An Xiaohai's car stopped at the gate of Haixi University. Looking at the tall school gate and the college students with their youthful smiles, An Xiaohai's heart still ached slightly.

The days on campus were like a beautiful dream, but unfortunately, An Xiao'an's dream was only halfway through before it was forcibly interrupted.

An Xiaohai originally wanted to find a place to park his car and walk in, but the gatekeeper saw him from afar and opened the school's iron gate on his own initiative.

An Xiaohai drives a Mercedes-Benz. In this day and age, people who drive Mercedes-Benz are either rich or powerful.

An Xiaohai sighed inwardly, drove the car to the school gate and stopped. After asking the gatekeeper about Xu Zhijie's department, he drove into the campus.

After parking his car outside Xu Zhijie's department, An Xiaohai walked towards the teaching building.

It should be class time now, so An Xiaohai didn't want to call Xu Zhijie. He thought he'd wander around the campus first and call him after class. But An Xiaohai soon realized that something seemed off!

The campus was rather deserted, and it seemed like no one was in class in the teaching buildings.

"My God, am I stupid?!" An Xiaohai slapped his forehead. Today seems to be the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. How could there be students in class?

During this time, An Xiaohai's entire focus was on scheming against An Zhehao, and he had completely forgotten about the winter vacation. Mai Xiaoyu and the others were the same; everyone had completely forgotten about the passing of time.

No wonder the security guard opened the gate so readily. The reason might not have been because he was driving a Mercedes, but because he thought the guard was there to visit one of the teachers who stayed at the school for the New Year.

An Xiaohai smiled wryly and walked back. Before he had taken two steps, he ran into a female teacher who looked to be around 30 years old.

"Who are you looking for?" the female teacher asked with a slight frown. She had been watching An Xiaohai for a while, seeing him wander around outside her department for a long time, and now inexplicably walking back. Finally, she couldn't help but come up and ask.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot it's a holiday. I'll head back now."

"You can forget about the Spring Festival?!" The female teacher clearly didn't believe An Xiaohai's explanation.

"I really forgot. I've been abroad and have no concept of celebrating the Spring Festival. Sorry to bother you."

"You haven't answered my question yet. Who are you looking for? I'm a philosophy professor," the female teacher asked somewhat persistently.

"I'm looking for Xu Zhijie. Do you know him?"

"Heh, I knew it!" The female teacher glared at An Xiaohai, annoyed. An Xiaohai looked like a rich man, and the person in their department most likely to know someone like that was Xu Zhijie: "What's your relationship to Xu Zhijie?"

"I'm his cousin, we haven't seen each other in a long time."

"Cousin?...Looking closely, he does look a bit like him. Come with me for a moment, I have something to ask you!" The female teacher said without waiting for An Xiaohai's reply, and then walked towards the teaching building.

An Xiaohai hesitated for a moment, then turned and followed. If he could get some information about Xu Zhijie or Xu Chonghua from this female teacher, it would be a good thing.

The female teacher led An Xiaohai to an office and had him sit down.

"Is there anything you want to ask me?" An Xiaohai looked around the office; there were many certificates and trophies displayed in a cabinet next to him.

"I am Xu Zhijie's homeroom teacher. My surname is Deng. I asked you to come here so that you can pass on a message to Mr. Xu Chonghua, Xu Zhijie's father."

"Please speak."

Please tell him that this is a school!

Don't think that just because your family is rich and powerful, you can do whatever you want at school. If he continues to completely ignore Xu Zhijie and does something outrageous again, I will deal with it according to the school's rules and regulations.

"No matter who pleads for me then, it won't matter. I won't care. I'm not afraid of anyone!"

"What's wrong? What happened? In my memory, Zhijie isn't the kind of person who would cause trouble."

"Hehe, he's not the kind of person who would cause trouble!" Teacher Deng glared at An Xiaohai again: "Xu Zhijie has fallen for a girl from the next department. If he likes her, so be it. Let him have a quiet relationship. The school will just turn a blind eye."

But what he did was set up candles and flowers and sing outside the girls' dormitory, causing a disturbance among students from several buildings, which had an extremely negative impact!

An Xiaohai raised an eyebrow. This kid's really something! He actually dared to do something so embarrassing. I never would have guessed! But it's just a trivial matter. Surely Teacher Deng shouldn't be this angry?

"That would have been fine, and the matter would have passed with time. However, a few days later, Xu Zhijie's mother, Ms. Ding, came to the school with a group of people and scolded the girl in front of many people, which terrified the young girl."

She even publicly threatened that if any girl dared to seduce Xu Zhijie again, she would have her face slashed.

"This is outrageous! This is a school! How can they be so reckless?! Are they really lawless?!" Teacher Deng slammed her hand on the table and exclaimed excitedly.

An Xiaohai finally understood that this matter was not caused by Xu Zhijie, but by Xu Chonghua's wife, a woman named Ding Ping.

No wonder Xu Zhijie looked so preoccupied.

"Didn't you call Xu Chonghua about this?" An Xiaohai asked, frowning.

Teacher Deng was slightly taken aback. An Xiaohai was clearly very disrespectful to Xu Chonghua, not calling him "uncle" but addressing him by his first name.

"Why haven't I called? His secretary always answers, and he always says that President Xu is busy. I asked him if he had told Xu Chonghua about this, and he always brushed me off, saying that he had, but President Xu hasn't said anything."

Do you know what this secretary's name is?

"He seems to share the same surname, Ding. I suspect he's a relative of Ms. Ding."

"Yes, that's very possible. That woman and her family are no good," An Xiaohai nodded and said.

Teacher Deng was stunned. She did not expect An Xiaohai to be so rude to Xu Zhijie's mother. Logically speaking, Xu Zhijie's mother was An Xiaohai's aunt.

"Teacher Deng, you don't need to be surprised. Actually, I had a falling out with them a long time ago, all because of this woman. I only have a good relationship with Zhijie, otherwise I wouldn't have come to the school to meet him."

To be honest, apart from Zhijie, I don't want to see any of his family members.

Teacher Deng raised an eyebrow, looking as if she had just realized something: "I knew it... Come to think of it, it seems there's no point in me telling you these things."

"No, it works, believe me."

I'm not the only one in my family who dislikes this woman; many of the elders also hate her. What she did was utterly shameful.

Teacher Deng, do you have any evidence? If you have evidence, please give it to me, and I promise I'll make her pay.

Even if there's no evidence, it's okay. I can assure you that this will never happen again. I'm sorry.

At this point, Teacher Deng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I have evidence," Professor Deng nodded. "She caused a scene at the entrance of the department next door. They recently installed a brand-new surveillance system there, and her entire disturbance was filmed. The videotape is in my hands."

"Great, can I have the videotape? That way, that woman won't be able to deny it."

It would be best if you could make a copy for me. You must keep the original evidence to yourself and never give it to anyone, just in case.

"Okay, of course!" Teacher Deng nodded decisively. An Xiaohai's suggestion that he make a copy dispelled her last bit of concern: "Wait here for me, I'll go make the copy now."

"Is it convenient? Or I can wait for you outside."

"No need, just wait here. There's nothing valuable in my office. By the way, I haven't asked your name yet?"

Teacher Deng already had a very good impression of An Xiaohai. Although An Xiaohai looked cold and his eyes were very sharp, he was reasonable, had a good manner, and his words made people feel at ease.

"Like Zhijie, I also belong to the Zhi generation. My name is Xu Zhimo."

"..."

Teacher Deng spent 20 minutes copying the videotape and handed it to An Xiaohai. When they parted, she gave An Xiaohai her phone number and told him to call her if there was any progress.

An Xiaohai simply bowed slightly and left, leaving without a trace.

After leaving the office building, An Xiaohai made a special trip to the gate of the department next door to take a look. The surveillance system there was clearly from Qiaoyu Company.

The combination of Tian Qiaoming and her husband, along with Yang Yuanbing, truly created a powerful synergy, resulting in an unparalleled speed of market expansion.

An Xiaohai felt much better; he hadn't expected that this misunderstanding would lead to such an unexpected gain.

"Xu Chonghua's wife and secretary both have the surname Ding, which is quite interesting... It might mean we need to re-examine all the relationships between the characters!"

An Xiaohai took the videotape back to his car and immediately set off home. He wanted to go back right away to see who this Ding Ping really was.

As the car drove into the underground parking garage, An Xiaohai saw a familiar car parked in the corner. He immediately stepped on the brakes and stopped the car next to it.

After getting out of the car, the door of the car next to him immediately opened. An Xiaohai glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention, then slipped into the car next to him.

"Director Ye, what brings you here?"

"How could I not come?!" Ye Du's eyes widened. "If I hadn't come to take a look, you would have wiped out our Haixi branch!"
