Chu Wanyu's face suddenly collapsed, like a deflated ball.

"If you think so, then I'm even more finished... ugh..."

"What's the end?" When Zhao Zhiqiang came back from going to the bathroom, he saw Chu Wanyu's head fell on the table with a look of bitterness on her face.

"No, it's nothing," Chu Wanyu immediately raised her head and sat upright.

When the three people who went downstairs to pay came back, the meal was completely over.

However, no one paid for this meal.

Zongzheng directly waived the bill.

***

On the way back, Shen Hua was a little worried, "If Zongzheng does this, will you owe him a favor?"

Fu Chenghai smiled and said: "Don't think so much. Zongzheng has a bold personality and is not someone who cares about human feelings."

Shen Hua: "What about you? Do you mind? You probably don't want to have contact with people from the First Hospital anymore, right?"

Fu Chenghai paused for a moment, then curled his lips and said, "Nothing can be hidden from your eyes."

Shen Hua suggested, "You can come here less often in the future."

Fu Chenghai shook his head slightly, "No, this place is a famous guest restaurant in Dongjiang. Many bosses want to eat here, so they can't escape. And...don't you also like the food here?"

Shen Hua: "I like it, but I don't want to see you in trouble."

Fu Chenghai: "I'm not embarrassed, I just haven't figured out how to face the people and things in the past. Memories are very poisonous. When I see familiar people and things, it brings back memories of the past, and I feel like my heart can't bear it."

Shen Hua: "Because people who were so close to each other are now so far away?"

Fu Chenghai: "Almost."

Shen Hua: "Do you regret it?"

Fu Chenghai: "It's fate, no one else is to blame."

Shen Hua: "It is always the person who makes the choice. Your teacher also said that he can help you get rid of your grievances. If you accept..."

"It's not an injustice," Fu Chenghai interrupted Shen Hua, "The police have solid evidence."

"What evidence?"

"DNA. Blood stains."

Shen Hua took a sharp breath and quickly calmed down her emotions, "A DNA test is required after a fight?"

Fu Chenghai smiled, very brightly, but his eyes were cold and without warmth, "It's not just about fighting, there are other things."

"Kill someone?" Shen Hua tried to ask.

"Well," Fu Chenghai said, "I said, I fired a gun."

"What if I call the police now?" Shen Hua asked calmly.

"According to the principle of personhood, I should be taken away and put in jail again."

Shen Hua clenched her fists slightly, "How did you settle it in the first place? If you really killed someone, you wouldn't have to go to jail for half a year, right?"

The laws of this beautiful country have been very common in sentencing people for fifty-one hundred years.

Fu Chenghai smiled slightly, "The prisons over there are all privately owned. The place I went to is even more special. It can't even be called a prison, but... a shelter."

Shen Hua was puzzled.

Fu Chenghai said: "It's close to the U.S.-Mexico border, and Mexican bosses often voluntarily go to jail to avoid being pursued by their enemies."

"I've heard something." Shen Hua has lived there for a long time and has heard a lot of strange things. What Fu Chenghai said is nothing new.

Otherwise, Shen Hua would not think that the place was similar to a place of exile.

The biggest rule is that there are no rules.

"What about you? Will you report that I have killed someone abroad before?" Fu Chenghai asked with a smile.

"No," Shen Hua said.

"Oh, why?" Fu Chenghai was a little curious.

"Because you are my husband."

"..."

Fu Chenghai was stiff for a moment.

Even the smile that often hangs on his face seems frozen.

"Seriously?" Fu Chenghai frowned.

Shen Hua looked out the window unconfidently, "I can't do it for justice."

Fu Chenghai smiled, a sneer, "Are you unable to kill your relatives for the sake of justice, or do you want to take a long-term approach to catch big fish?"

Shen Hua's back felt tense.

Fu Chenghai parked the car on the side of the road and stared straight ahead blankly, as if trying to see something through the windshield.

"If I gave you a knife right now, would you kill me?" he asked.

"Why should I kill you?" Shen Hua calmed down and answered as calmly as possible.

Fu Chenghai then let out a bitter laugh, "You should kill me."

He started the car and said nothing more.

Shen Hua was in a daze on her seat.

Her thoughts were completely absorbed in Fu Chenghai's words.

But his hesitant attitude made Shen Hua's thoughts even more confused.

"Why do you think I want to kill you?" Shen Hua asked directly.

Fu Chenghai didn't expect that, he was frozen for a moment, and then smiled: "Because... if you don't kill me, I may kill you in the future -"

Shen Hua's hair stood on end, and she looked at him warily and horrified.

But Fu Chenghai still had the same spring breeze smile and cold and gloomy words as before, but there was another kind of extreme tenderness on his face.

With such contradictions concentrated in one person, Shen Hua felt only uneasy.

"Do you want to start your life again?" Shen Hua suppressed all the anxiety in her heart and asked calmly.

"It's not up to me to choose whether I can start my life again," Fu Chenghai said, "I have to face many things now, including the shoe factory and Fu Jian. The two of them are enough to give me a headache right now."

"The shoe factory is just your wishful thinking. The factory is in doom and gloom. Even if you are a god, you can't save it."

"You can be saved even if you can't be saved."

"To repay your stepfather's kindness?"

"That's right."

"Is he really that kind to you?" Shen Hua actually wanted to ask, if he was so kind to you, why did you kill his son?

However, Fu Chenghai turned his head and looked to one side.

Obviously, Fu Chenghai didn't want to answer in detail.

It was useless to ask any more questions, so Shen Hua changed her words and said, "If you have any difficulties, just tell me and I will definitely help you wherever I can."

"Aren't you worried that I will take advantage of you?"

Shen Hua shook her head, "I feel at ease if I can be used by you."

In this way, she would have enough reasons to stay with Fu Chenghai for a long time and have more opportunities to explore the truth of the matter.

Fu Chenghai smiled, seemingly with a hint of ridicule, "Shen Hua, you are thoughtful and smart, but you can't beat me."

Shen Hua: "I know. But I never wanted to win against you."

She has never been the kind of person who can strategize. She is used to taking one step at a time, and is used to using soldiers to cover up water and earth.

"You are too honest," Fu Chenghai said.

"I'm not very good at lying," Shen Hua said, "It's just that after more experiences, I slowly learned to hide my true thoughts."

"You don't have to hide anything from me. If you have anything to say, you can just say it."

"No," Shen Hua said, "As you said, the truth always hurts the most. I don't want to be the person who hurts others. It's good like this."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure." Shen Hua was very sure.

Fu Chenghai didn't force it, he just said: "If one day you regret marrying me, you can just say so."

"No, I don't regret it, never will."
