When I get on ships, especially at night. Sometimes but not often, I might encounter some Chinese people with backpacks walking quietly and quickly. I highly suspected they were illegal immigrants to Hongkong. My boss warned me not to care about and talk to any of them, we pretended not to see each other. This kind of cross-border human smuggling operation was very complicated. They may be organized by some human smuggler, helped by some crews and stationed soldiers, or even their commanding officers. That was a felony against law, no one dare to say it in public. Therefore, we didn't want to offend any of them. Our job was only to sell fresh food to captains, we were legally licensed.
One day, I talked to Ahai about the suspicious people I had met on the ship. He looked around first, confirming that no one would hear his voice. He said to me, "Director Chen has told me, and let me tell you that we can directly report any suspect stowaway to him. If the case is confirmed, he would reward 5,000 yuan to the reporter for each person."
Oh, when I got the news. It really scared me a lot, because I was already brainwashed by my boss when I came to the company. My boss had warned serious to me, "This is the border! do not make friends with any soldiers; do not report any smuggling or stowaway actions in case you see it to the army; do not introduce young women to crews even if they are getting out of the ships."
My boss was right, he had much more experience than us in working at the three ports here.

You’re still describing your experience in the past, right? If so, “get” should be “got.”
This sentence is incomplete—merge it with the next sentence.

One day, I talked to Ahai about the suspicious people I had metseen on the ship.
“Met” implies that you came quite close to them, or even talked with them.
He looked around first, confirming that no one would hear his voice.
He said to me, "Director Chen has told me, and let me tell you, that we can (directly) report any suspected stowaway (directly) to him.
“Directly to him” is much more natural.
If the case is confirmed, he would rewardill pay a 5,000 yuan reward to the reporter for each person. / each stowaway."
“If the case is confirmed” doesn’t sound natural, but I don’t have enough context to fix it.
It really scared me a lot, because I washad already brainwasheen indoctrinated / catechized by my boss when I came to the company.
“Brainwashed” implies that your boss had manipulated you into believing something that was false. I don’t think you mean to imply that he was wrong.
