Zhou Fangchun was detained in a damp and dark detention center. She was in a state of emotional collapse. What made her feel worse was not being arrested, but being thrown into the sea by Zhou Chufei when she was about to succeed, which attracted the attention of Bao'an police.
If she couldn't see any hope, being caught wouldn't be so bad, but she was about to succeed; the border of Hong Kong was just a step away from her.
She was on the same boat as Zhou Jian'an, and she was in the cabin. Her chances of success should have been higher than Zhou Jian'an's. She had disguised herself, so the Bao'an police would never have recognized her.
But who could have imagined that Zhou Chufei would do such a thing?
Zhou Fangchun always doted on Zhou Chufei. When Zhou Chufei was little, she often bought snacks for him to eat, afraid that this only grandson of the Zhou family would suffer any grievances.
However, Zhou Chufei ruined her plan, and Zhou Fangchun lost everything. She was about to take a huge sum of money to Hong Kong and live a life of luxury, away from everything on the mainland with her daughter, but she was just one step away.
Just one point...
Zhou Fangchun laughed and cried at the same time. She remembered an old colleague who had suffered a stroke after getting too excited from a winning hand of cards. After being rescued, the colleague was paralyzed and bedridden. Zhou Fangchun bought some things to visit her, and the colleague smiled at Zhou Fangchun and said:
"Xiao Zhou, do you believe it? Everything is predestined, and nothing is up to us."
Zhou Fangchun didn't understand before, but now she does. Life's twists and turns are ridiculous. She thought she was living her own life, but there was always an invisible hand pushing her into this situation.
The thought that Zhou Jian'an had already escaped to Hong Kong, obtained a residence permit, and was living a good life in Hong Kong with millions of dollars, while she had to spend her whole life in prison, filled Zhou Fangchun with resentment and regret.
Zhou Jian'an, whom Zhou Fangchun envied, escaped to the port city as he wished.
The port city was heavily guarded, but fortunately, Boss Jing had connections and bribed the patrol team. When the patrol team changed shifts, they turned a blind eye, and Boss Jing led a boatload of people into the port city's territory.
According to the laws of the port city, they can go to the police station to obtain a residence permit. After meeting the requirements, they can obtain a household registration book in the port city. If they want to speed things up, they can also spend some money to buy identity directly.
Zhou Jian'an didn't expect to escape successfully, but Zhou Fangchun was pushed into the sea by Zhou Chufei. Zhou Jian'an thought that his hope was pinned on Boss Jing. He and Boss Jing agreed to find a good opportunity to push Zhou Fangchun into the sea.
Along the route from Bao'an to Gangcheng, many bodies die every day. A fugitive who had been hiding her identity died, and that was that. After Boss Jing killed her, he could take the body back and bury it, and then use the evidence to collect the money for burying the body from the mainland public security bureau.
But Zhou Chufei made his move.
Zhou Fangchun fell into the water, but Zhou Jian'an escaped successfully without getting a drop of blood on his hands, which he still finds incredible.
Zhou Jian'an stared at Zhou Chufei, feeling that the child was particularly unfamiliar. Zhou Fangchun had always treated Zhou Chufei very well, worrying that he was hungry or cold, and had always given him whatever he wanted.
Zhou Fangchun is Zhou Chufei's second aunt. Doesn't Zhou Chufei have any feelings for her at all? How could he bring himself to push her into the sea?
Zhou Jian'an finally asked:
How could you bring yourself to do it?
Zhou Chufei sneered, thinking to himself that Zhou Jian'an's blood was flowing in his veins.
Zhou Jian'an disregarded his own mother for his own benefit, and Zhou Chufei followed suit, thinking that as long as he could go to Hong Kong, nothing else mattered.
If even her own grandmother was abandoned, what is a second aunt who isn't even related to her?
He overheard the police officers' conversation and was afraid they would find their way to the cabin.
Zhou Chufei knew everything Zhou Jian'an had done. Once they were arrested and brought back to Beijing, Zhou Jian'an would go to jail, and Zhou Chufei would truly lose everything. He didn't want to go back to that kind of life, and he didn't want to be ridiculed by Chu Chu and the others. He wanted to go to Hong Kong with Zhou Jian'an and start over.
Zhou Chufei gritted his teeth, stared at Zhou Fangchun's back, paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth again and threw the person down.
"Is your life more important, or my second aunt? If I don't throw her away, we're both doomed."
Zhou Jian'an's face darkened. He was that kind of person, but he didn't want to raise a kid like him.
That's why people say humans are complex animals.
In a sense, Zhou Jian'an preferred Zhou Chuyu's personality.
Zhou Chuyu is unyielding, clear about right and wrong, and protects her vulnerable mother. Although he doesn't like this daughter, Zhou Jian'an has to admit that Zhou Chuyu's personality is completely different from his own.
Zhou Jian'an is someone who would sacrifice everything for profit; Zhou Chuyu is not, but Zhou Chufei is.
