funeral
"I know everything."
"I'll wait for you here at twelve o'clock tonight."
After Zhou Min sent these two messages, he also sent the meeting place.
The cell phone was given to her by the bodyguard. Fortunately, she still remembered the account password of the identity she had previously forged. After logging in, she directly found Chen Shu's contact information and asked her to come out to settle the previous matter.
The bodyguard also gave her a bank card. She knew that Zhou Xihe wanted her to take the money and run away, and never come back to bother Zhou Qiting again.
She gladly accepted it and did not refuse Zhou Xihe's driver's offer to take her away from the manor. She got on the car with no return and felt at ease.
At this moment, she was sitting upright in the car, looking out the window, silently digesting the information she had just learned from Zhou Xihe and the truth she had inferred.
In the warm climate of G City, it is difficult to visually perceive the cold. Even though it is late autumn now, the woods outside the car window are still green.
Once the branches fall and the leaves fall, it means that the desolation and loneliness have deceived the eyes of autumn, and the cold winter has quietly arrived with the chill.
Vitality hides death, gold and jade hide rotten rags.
City G has always been like this, or rather, the Federation has always been like this.
The vehicle moved forward, carrying Zhou Min away from the last beautiful dream in her life.
Zhou Min asked the driver to drive the car to the suburbs and stop. She was still a wanted criminal, and she couldn't just walk around the city like that. She needed to disguise herself to keep the appointment.
After getting off the bus, she put on a mask, lowered the brim of her baseball cap on her head to let the shadow cover her eyes, then turned and turned into the street.
When she realized that the person following her had disappeared, she threw the bank card that was broken in half into the trash can on the side of the road.
She accepted the bank card just to reassure Zhou Xihe.
After learning about that incident, even without the money, Zhou Min felt that he could not and would not return to Zhou Qiting.
She fully realized that her existence was really just a mistake. She was born in mistake, grew up in mistake, and caused harm to innocent people in mistake.
The more you try to make amends, the deeper the hurt.
Her eyes felt sore and she subconsciously raised her hand to wipe away the tears with her fingertips, but she found that the corners of her eyes were dry.
She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed softly.
Was it her powerlessness over her fate that stopped her from crying? Or was it the smoldering rage that dried up her tears?
Unlike the last time he was seriously injured and felt helpless and hopeless, Zhou Min in a normal state had a good chance of not being recognized by passers-by as long as he covered himself carefully enough.
With the remaining change from her fake identity account, she bought some disguises, a sharp-looking dagger, and a box of peach-flavored candies.
The place where she had agreed to meet Chen Shu was in a neighboring city. If she took public transportation, she would not be able to avoid the cross-city iris detection, so after disguising herself, she used the last bit of money in her account to take a taxi.
The driver only glanced at her when she got in the car, and otherwise focused on driving as usual. He obviously didn't recognize that she was the most wanted criminal of the FBI.
She had just checked online and found that her crime was not as shocking as Chen Shu, who was ranked second, but she was ranked first.
It seems that the fact that he kidnapped the heir of Zhou Group really angered the top management of the Investigation Bureau, which led to the Investigation Bureau issuing such a ridiculous wanted order.
Thinking of Zhou Qiting, Zhou Min opened the lid of the iron box, picked out the candy with the most frosting and threw it into his mouth, hoping to use the sweetness on his tongue to suppress the sudden bitterness in his heart.
But how can we suppress it?
The last bit of real sweetness in her life was stolen away silently, just like the candy box with only a few candies left.
She has always been worthy of those false things, and even the sweetness can only be obtained from memories after losing her.
The distance from the suburbs to the neighboring city was not too far. By the time Zhou Min got off the bus, there were not many candies left in the iron box.
The useless sweetness accumulated layer by layer as she consumed it without restraint. She smacked her numb tongue, closed the lid of the iron box, and put it in her coat pocket together with the dagger.
She followed the direction she remembered and walked towards her destination for tonight.
As he took a step, the candy and the dagger tapped against the iron box from the inside and outside, making sounds of different textures.
-
After escaping alone that day, Chen Shu could no longer find any trace of Zhou Min, and at one point thought that Zhou Min might have died in some unknown corner.
The reason why she didn't think that Zhou Min was arrested by the Investigation Bureau was, firstly, because the wanted warrant for Zhou Min had not been withdrawn, and secondly, she later learned through some channels that Zhou Min had not sent his location to the Investigation Bureau that day.
So Zhou Min cheated her that day.
How could this man still be as hypocritical as ever? Even before his death, he refused to take off his mask and revealed his true bloodthirsty face.
When Chen Shu learned that he had been teased again, he was not angry, but felt very regretful.
Why didn't you tell her what you did for her earlier?
Even though Zhou Min was seriously injured at the time and did not have enough strength to pierce Chen Shu's heart with a dagger, his anger was enough to at least cut her artery, causing her to slowly die from blood loss.
At worst, I could just shoot her. Even if that kind of death can only be felt for a moment, it is better than living in this boring world for a long time.
Fortunately, fate is on my side.
Just today, she received the most exciting news in her life——
Not only did Zhou Min not die, he also learned the thing that she had not been able to tell him at the beginning.
This means that Chen Shu can finally die as he wished at the hands of Zhou Min.
Would he stab her heart with a dagger, as she expected? Looking at the familiar location Zhou Min sent, Chen Shu felt his heart pounding like that day again after a few years.
It didn't take long to drive to the neighboring city. Chen Shu took out all the clothes in his closet that he had never worn and that he was going to wear when killing someone. He tried them on one by one, and it took him a long time to pick out a set of elegant black suits and black tie that he was satisfied with.
If it weren't for the lack of time, Chen Shu would definitely have a suit custom-made.
After all, dying at Zhou Min's hands is her only long-cherished wish in this life, so of course she has to prepare it in a grand manner.
Before changing her clothes, she took out the candy box that Zhou Min had thrown away and used to store cigarettes, picked up the last remaining cigarette from it, and put it to her nose to sniff.
A faint scent of peach mixed with tobacco is the smell of Zhou Min in her memory, a pungent sweet fragrance.
The cigarette had been sitting there for a long time and was a little damp. She put the cigarette in her mouth, lit the windproof lighter, brought the blazing flame close to the cigarette butt, and took a few deep puffs before she managed to light it.
The forced smoke stung his mouth dully, scraped across his throat, and left a spicy and bitter taste, but Chen Shu enjoyed it intoxicatedly until the tobacco burned out. He then reluctantly pressed the extinguished memories into the palm of his left hand, ready to take them to the grave.
The burning pain, along with the last wisp of smoke, was forever branded on Chen Shu's body.
After everything was carefully prepared, Chen Shu drove to the place Zhou Min mentioned and drove around the area twice.
Having experienced being cheated twice before, in order to avoid complications, she looked around from a distance and made sure that there was no ambush by the investigation agency around before happily rushing to her own funeral.
That place was exactly where Zhou Min massacred the organization, a private villa in the mountains. After the organization was eliminated, the property was abandoned. The once magnificent appearance was covered with decay over time.
Chen Shu parked the car nearby, walked around the dilapidated wall with ease, and pushed open the creaking side door.
After the incident, Zhou Min and Chen Shu erased all traces of their actions at the scene and reported the case after escaping.
After the Investigation Bureau completed the search and cleared the scene, Chen Shu returned here more than once, just to recall the amazing scene that happened that day through the familiar scene.
Now that her memory and reality overlapped, she saw Zhou Min standing in the middle of the hall on the first floor, looking at her, his hands in his pockets, his eyes filled with cold murderous intent and boiling rage.
"I thought you were dead. I didn't expect you to come back to see me." Chen Shu's tone was full of excitement. He walked towards Zhou Min step by step without hesitation. "How did you know? I wanted to tell you in person..."
Without waiting for Chen Shu to get close, Zhou Min stepped forward with his right foot, raised his left leg and bent his knee, exerted force on his waist and hips, and swung his leg out instantly, kicking Chen Shu in the head.
Chen Shu noticed Zhou Min's movement when she moved forward, and suddenly squatted down and shrank his body, barely avoiding the fierce kick.
The long-lost sense of crisis awakened Chen Shu's instinct to counterattack. Taking advantage of the moment when Zhou Min's attack missed and before he could retract his leg, he swept his leg horizontally towards Zhou Min's right ankle which was used for support.
Zhou Min withstood the expected counterattack with his body swaying slightly. His left leg, which had missed the target, was not retracted as normal. At the moment when Chen Shu swept his leg, he used his core strength to transform the sweeping force into a heavy downward chop.
Chen Shu's counterattack failed and he was shocked. He had to withdraw his attack and rolled to the left in panic to avoid the kick.
The heel of the shoe hit the marble floor heavily. After a dull sound, the dust that had been on the ground for a long time was instantly shaken up. Before it was raised into the air, Zhou Min raised his leg and kicked Chen Shu, who had just hurriedly stood up.
The powerful kick landed heavily on Chen Shu's abdomen. The heavy force penetrated his body, and Chen Shu was kicked backwards and fell heavily to the ground with a dull thud. His new clothes were covered with dust in the fierce fight and no longer had their previous decency.
Zhou Min's eyes were cold and filled with a gloomy sense of oppression. He slowly approached the fallen Chen Shu as if examining his prey.
Under the contemptuous gaze, Chen Shu, though in a disheveled state, did not stand up. Instead, he half-lay on the ground, propping himself up with his elbows, looking up at Zhou Min and saying with a smile: "So you want to beat me to death? Okay..."
"As long as it is death you give me, I will accept it with all my heart."
Zhou Min didn't say anything, but stared at Chen Shu silently for a long time. It was unclear whether he was trying to control his emotions or was brewing murderous intent.
As his ears caught a hint of almost imperceptible movement, Zhou Min took out the dagger from his pocket. The faint cold light immediately attracted all of Chen Shu's attention.
Chen Shu lay on the ground with relief, closed his eyes, opened his arms wide, embraced the impending death, and said in a trembling voice with excitement: "Come on..."
Zhou Min slowly knelt on one leg beside her, holding the dagger tightly in his right hand and raising it high. Just like before, with murderous intent, he stabbed the person in front of him in the heart.
The pain in my chest came as expected, but it was not a sharp stabbing pain, but a dull ache.
Chen Shu opened his eyes in disbelief, only to see Zhou Min expressionlessly shaking the plastic imitation dagger in his hand, the tip of which had been broken by the force, and speaking his first words to Chen Shu tonight without any apology.
"I'm sorry, I'm a wanted criminal and can't buy controlled knives."
"Zhou Min, you—"
Bang!
The next second, the door was kicked open as Zhou Min expected, and the sound of the collision interrupted Chen Shu's words.
As the armed investigators filed in, she lowered her eyes and looked at Chen Shu, whose expression suddenly turned desperate. A sarcastic smile finally spread to the corners of her mouth, and she uttered the last words of the night.
"Chen Shu, let us stand trial together."
