Zeng Shijie and Zhou Miaomiao felt guilty. They took so much money from Zhou Jiaxing and were afraid that Zhou Jiaxing would call the police. They were also afraid that Yuan Sixi would remember that Zhou Miaomiao's disappearance was related to Zeng Shijie who left that day. After discussing it, the two decided not to return to Qingshan City, but to go to S City in Eastern Province.
Zeng Shijie said that he had a cousin who worked in S City, Eastern Province, and the two of them went to live with his cousin and find a job in S City. After the situation here settled down, they would return to Qingshan City to officially get married.
At this time, Zhou Miaomiao obeyed Zeng Shijie's words and naturally would not object to anything Zeng Shijie said.
Sitting on the train to S City in Eastern Province, Zhou Miaomiao looked at Zeng Shijie from time to time, then looked at the scenery flashing past outside the window, her heart full of longing for a new life.
At this time, Zhou Miaomiao didn't know that since she met Zeng Shijie, her life had begun to become more tragic. But this is a story for later, so let's not talk about it for now.
The morning after Gu Tiezhu visited Yunyun Garment Factory at night, Gu Hongxing and Gu Xiaofang returned to the factory.
Seeing the familiar gate of Yunyun Garment Factory, the serious security guard, and the kind-looking cleaning lady, Gu Hongxing and his sister finally felt at ease.
In order to avoid Gutiezhu, Gu Hongxing and his companions did not take a direct bus back to Kyoto, but stayed in Qingshan City for two days, thus falling behind Gutiezhu and his companions.
The two siblings were afraid that Zhao Yunxiang would worry, so as soon as they got off the train this morning, they took the bus to the factory.
Seeing Zhao Yunxiang's surprised face, Gu Hongxing and Gu Xiaofang almost cried.
"Aunt Yunxiang!"
"Aunt Yunxiang!"
Gu Hongxing and Gu Xiaofang cried out at the same time, their voices choked.
"Good boy, I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back." Zhao Yunxiang had a lot to ask. She wanted to ask where the two of them had been? Why didn't they want to stay with Gu Tiezhu? What were Gu Hongxing and the others' plans? How were the siblings doing recently? The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back.
Regardless, if the children were willing to return, Zhao Yunxiang would accept them. The children were grown up and had their own ideas. Since they didn't want to live with Gutiezhu, Zhao Yunxiang couldn't just drive them away.
Zhao Yunxiang felt somewhat fortunate for her foresight. A few days before school started, Zhao Yunxiang had already gone to school to register for Gu Hongxing and the others, and had also informed the teacher that Gu Hongxing and Gu Xiaofang had some family matters and would be unable to return to school for a while.
The teacher agreed without asking any questions for Zhao Yunxiang's sake.
"Aunt Yunxiang, you have to be careful. My father is not a good man. When they came into the factory to arrest my brother and me that day, I don't know what they put in the factory's utility room. I saw them acting sneakily when they spoke." Gu Xiaofang saw Zhao Yunxiang and quickly repeated to her what she had heard on the train.
It was also rare that Gu Xiaofang had a good memory. She remembered everything that Gu Tiezhu, Huangmao and the other two said on the train. She repeated them all to Zhao Yunxiang without missing a single word.
After hearing the words "the most dangerous place is the safest place", "the police dare not search", and "go back to get it after the New Year", Zhao Yunxiang thought for a moment and realized that the "hiding and drug" incident before the New Year must have been the work of Gutiezhu and others.
Zhao Yunxiang didn't want to put any psychological pressure on Gu Hongxing and Gu Xiaofang, so she tried her best to suppress her excitement. After talking with Gu Xiaofang and the others for a while, she let the brother and sister go back to the dormitory to rest.
As soon as Gu Xiaofang and the others walked out of the office, Zhao Yunxiang picked up the phone and called home to find General Zhou.
After General Zhou received Zhao Yunxiang's call, he pondered for a while and provided the clue to the Ministry of Public Security.
Under the attention of the Ministry of Public Security, the Shilitun Public Security Bureau immediately took action.
Gu Tiezhu was in a bad mood because he didn't find Gu Hongxing and Gu Xiaofang. In addition, the letter Gu Hongxing left for him made Gu Tiezhu a little "slacking off". For two days, Gu Tiezhu didn't go out and didn't contact his boss.
Gutiezhu was in a daze at home, but Zhou Jiaxing couldn't stay still any longer.
Zhou Jiaxing returned to Kyoto to "earn money." He planned to work for a year, earning around ten thousand yuan, and then quit. Therefore, for Zhou Jiaxing, his time was extremely valuable.
All the way to Kyoto, Zhou Jiaxing used Gutiezhu's money to buy tickets and eat. Zhou Jiaxing originally wanted to borrow money from Gutiezhu, but seeing that Gutiezhu was in a bad mood, Zhou Jiaxing didn't dare to make him feel bad, so he had to find another way.
"Huangchao" Entertainment City is the largest entertainment venue in Shilitun, and it is where Zhou Jiaxing and Huangmao used to frequent.
That night, Zhou Jiaxing came to "Huangchao" and wanted to borrow some money from his former "brother".
Zhou Jiaxing was so poor that he only had one or two coins left in his pocket. If it weren't for the fact that Gutiezhu had a place to stay and food to eat, Zhou Jiaxing would have wanted to go out and "empty his wallet".
"Brother Xing!"
"Brother Xing, here I come!"
"Brother Xing, long time no see. Where did you make your fortune?"
······
After Zhou Jiaxing entered the "Dynasty", he was greeted by a constant stream of greetings. This was especially true of several of his former customers, who, upon seeing him, looked at him with eyes gleaming like wolves staking their claim to prey.
"Brother Xing, you haven't shown up for so long that I thought you went home to get married!" A "bucktooth man" saw Zhou Jiaxing sitting in a corner of the hall and hurried over.
"Big Teeth, lend me some money." Zhou Jiaxing was pleased to see the "bucktooth man." The "bucktooth man" had been buying "goods" from Zhou Jiaxing quite a bit in the past few months, and Zhou Jiaxing knew he was making a lot of money.
"Brother Xing, what you're saying is really out of line, isn't it? We're on no good. Brother Xing, all your expenses tonight will be covered by me." The "bucktooth man" was a sly man. While he spoke nicely, he actually didn't agree to lend the money. In their line of work, you never know what will happen tomorrow. What if he lent money to Zhou Jiaxing and he got into trouble tomorrow? Where would he go to collect the debt?
"Big Teeth, you are such a rude boy." Zhou Jiaxing certainly understood the "bucktooth man's" implication and couldn't help but frown.
"Brother Xing, is Brother Huang coming today?" Another man, as thin as a bamboo pole, approached Zhou Jiaxing, wanting to know about Huang Mao. For the past six months, Zhou Jiaxing and Huang Mao had been inseparable. "Bamboo pole" was Huang Mao's "client."
"Your brother Huang has retired, so it's just right that you can smoke less. You're almost dying, and you're still smoking?" Zhou Jiaxing glanced at "Bamboo Pole", sneered, and said.
"Bamboo Pole" is a drug addict. He is pale and as thin as a bamboo pole. It's obvious that he won't have much time left to live.
