Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 304 This is a devil

At that moment, Xu You and Lin Zhe had almost reached the school gate when they heard Zhu Zhu waving and calling for the patrol team, and they all turned around.

Just then, they saw Zeng Tong punch Zhou Ziang in the chin. Even from that distance, they seemed to hear a crisp 'crack' sound as the jawbone broke.

hiss!
That little girl is pretty fierce, and quite cunning too.

Removing Zhou Ziang's chin would stop him from talking nonsense.

The fact that this man followed them unhurriedly for a whole day shows that this kid's cunning is definitely beyond his years.

Lin Zhe glanced down at Xu You and instructed Yueyue and Song Xiaoxiao, "All of you, go back to school quickly, and stop looking around."

He didn't want Xu You to get involved, nor was it necessary.

But the results are often contrary to expectations.

Zhou Ziang was used to putting on a show of weakness in front of others. After his chin was straightened, he immediately tearfully and pitifully defended himself, "I... I wasn't following anyone. I just... I just missed my sister."

He then tearfully explained his relationship with Xu You, recounting how close they were as children. Hearing from his parents that his older sister had come to Kyoto, he couldn't help but run over to find her, but fearing she wouldn't recognize him, he could only secretly follow her.

It is consistent with the facts and has no flaws.

It perfectly expresses a younger brother's strong longing and affection for his older sister.

The police station originally wanted to notify the military academy to send Xu You over, but fortunately their captain arrived in time and only notified the Zhou family to take her back.

That evening, when Zhou Ziang was going upstairs, he lost his footing and tumbled from the second floor to the first floor, breaking his leg.

He originally lived with his grandparents, but after being taken to the police station, he was notified by Zhou Huai'an.

Zhou Huai'an was already feeling frustrated and angry after being scolded in the morning because of the gold shop incident, when he received a notice in the afternoon asking him to pick up Zhou Zi'ang.

Zhou Huai'an didn't want to go to his parents' house, so he took his son back to his own home.

Zhou Huai'an knew his own son all too well. But this time, he didn't want him to provoke Xu You again.

“This isn’t eleven years ago, when Xu You and you were just kids. She awakened her superpowers; she’s a superhuman now, and you’re not the same kind of person anymore, do you understand?”

When Zhou Huai'an led Zhou Zi'ang to his front door, he looked into his eyes and said this.

After saying that, without waiting to see if he had listened or not, she opened the gate to the villa and went inside.

Zhou Ziang watched his father's retreating figure and let out a sneer.

Then, dragging his legs, which were still sore from being beaten by Zeng Tong and Zhu Zhu, he slowly moved into the house he hadn't been to in a long time.

His bedroom was on the third floor. As he was walking up, he must have stepped on something, because he tumbled all the way from the second floor to the living room on the first floor.

At that time, Chen Ju was setting the table in the restaurant. When Zhou Huai'an received the notification to pick up the person from the police station, she had already prepared the meal at home.

Of course, it's a meal for only two people.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Huai'an told her before leaving that she should cook another dish, and made it clear that Zhou Zi'ang would be staying at home tonight.

Chen Ju gave a blank "hmm" without asking Zhou Ziang what he had done or why he was in the police station.

She just mindlessly grabbed a random vegetable from the kitchen and cooked it. It wasn't until she finished cooking and plated it that she realized she had made eggplant and cucumber stir-fry.

These two dishes mixed together are the ones Zhou Ziang dislikes the most.

Chen Ju didn't remake it; instead, she served the dish directly to the table.

The father and son then entered the room one after the other. Zhou Huai'an went in first to wash his hands in the bathroom. Before he had finished washing his hands, he heard a loud clattering sound and quickly came out of the bathroom.

Just then, Zhou Ziang rolled from the second floor to the first floor and landed with a thud on the floor not far from him.

Zhou Huai'an stared in disbelief at his son lying on the ground with one leg twisted.

After a two-second pause, Chen Ju's eyes flashed with a gloating, unbridled joy.

Live it!

Did he die from the fall?

I hope he died from the fall!
With this hope in mind, she still rushed Zhou Ziang to the hospital with Zhou Huai'an.

Upon hearing the news, the elderly Mrs. Zhou rushed over, and the first thing she did upon arriving at the hospital was to slap Chen Ju.

"Tell me, did you kill my grandson? Otherwise, he was perfectly fine in my house, and only became like this after he came to yours? You vicious woman, so many years have passed, and you still hold a grudge!"

Before the old lady could finish speaking, Chen Ju slapped her back. The crisp sound echoed in the ward, and everyone was stunned.

Including Zhou Huai'an.

The old lady was quite old, and Chen Ju didn't hold back with her slap, knocking her to the ground.

"You think I'm being disrespectful? You keep trying to lord it over me, who do you think you are?"

Chen Ju looked at the old lady's shocked face and scoffed contemptuously. Before Zhou Huai'an could speak, she turned to him and said coldly, "If we can make it work, we can; if not, we'll part ways. Zhou Huai'an, don't think I can't live without you. Even if I can't live, I'll drag your whole family down to hell with me. Just you wait and see."

Her gaze, when she looked at Zhou Huai'an, was filled with chilling coldness and despair, making Zhou Huai'an feel a chill run through his body and unable to utter a single word.

Just like eight years ago, on the day she lost her child, she looked at him with the same eyes.

People may have forgotten that Chen Ju had supernatural abilities before she miscarried.

Like Xu You, she is an earth-type, but her level is relatively low, and she can only control and create some clods of earth and small stones.

However, she later lost her powers after her miscarriage.

No one can explain this phenomenon; nobody knows why.

But one thing is certain: the child she failed to give birth to is most likely an earth-type ability user.

But this child, who could have been her hope, was killed by Zhou Ziang.

Whenever Zhou Huai'an thought of this, he felt the same regret and heartache as Chen Ju.

But unlike Chen Ju, he never considered punishing the culprit.

One was someone she raised herself, and the other was someone she had never even seen before. Which one was more important? So Chen Ju not only hated Zhou Zi'ang, but she also hated Zhou Huai'an and that old woman.

"Zhou Huai'an, you just watched your wife hit me? You unfilial son!"

"enough!"

Zhou Huai'an growled at his mother, who was still sitting on the ground, "Zhou Zi'ang got himself into this mess. It has nothing to do with Chen Ju. You didn't even ask what happened before you started hitting him. Is that right?"

He made no mention of Chen Ju's retaliatory slap.

The old lady choked on her breath and almost fainted.

At the same time, she felt incredibly embarrassed and ashamed, having been hit by her daughter-in-law and then criticized by her son. For a moment, the old lady felt her face burning hot and uncomfortable.

Just then, Zhou Ziang, who had been lying unconscious on the bed, woke up.

Chen Ju glanced at him coldly and left with the question, "How come you didn't die from the fall?"

He turned and left the ward.

The old woman, who had just gotten up from the ground, angrily pointed at Chen Ju's departing figure and yelled at Zhou Huai'an, "Even in this state, you're not going to do anything about it?"

Zhou Huai'an scratched his hair in frustration and said dejectedly, "Me? How can I manage? Have you forgotten that she also had superpowers at the beginning? If it weren't for Zhou Zi'ang, our family would have three superpowered individuals now."

The old woman immediately objected, "What do you mean? You didn't actually believe this woman back then, thinking that Ang'ang pushed her down and caused her miscarriage, did you? How old was your son then? Nine years old! A nine-year-old child, could he do something like this? Zhou Huai'an, I think you were manipulated by this woman."

"enough!"

Zhou Huai'an, unable to contain himself any longer, growled, "Zhou Zi'ang is my son. Do you think I don't know whether he would do such a thing or whether he is capable of doing it?"

After saying his last words, he turned his head to look at the hospital bed. Zhou Ziang had already opened his eyes and was staring at him with his dark, sinister gaze.

The boy lying on the bed was clearly only seventeen years old, but when he wasn't pretending, the way he looked at people was like a demon that had escaped from hell. Even Zhou Huai'an, his father, sometimes felt a chill down his spine.

He was on the building when his mother jumped to her death. Zhou Huai'an always felt that his son became like this because his mother's death in front of him had triggered him, which is why he became increasingly extreme.

That's why he has been so lenient with his extreme behavior over the years.

But at that moment, in that instant, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.

Did his ex-wife, Zi'ang's biological mother, really jump to her death?

His separation from his ex-wife wasn't amicable; she cheated on him, and then they divorced.

The son was awarded to him, but his mother has visitation rights once a month and will pick him up from kindergarten early on Friday.

For the first three months after the divorce, it was always like this: at the end of the month, his mother would pick him up from kindergarten, and then he would go with her to stay at her place for two days.

However, in the fourth month, Zhou Ziang suggested that his mother not pick him up.

At the time, he didn't think much of it, assuming his son was closer to him and didn't want to live with his mother. Until one day, at the kindergarten gate, he overheard some parents whispering, saying that a mother had come to pick up her child and was caught by the wife, who then publicly beat her to the ground.

At first he didn't pay attention, but later, after listening to their description of the third party who was beaten, it sounded very much like his ex-wife.

However, it wouldn't be surprising if it really was her, because the person she cheated with did indeed have a family, just like her.

When they got divorced, their partner also got divorced shortly afterward.

Zhou Huai'an remembered clearly that the man treated her very well; he bought her a large apartment right after their divorce. Under such circumstances, even if her ex-wife came knocking on her door, she wouldn't jump off a building to commit suicide, would she?
The main reason is that I can't bear to part with it.

The man was devoted to her, and he was such a good catch. For someone as pleasure-loving as her, there was no way she would abandon all of that to commit suicide.

Besides, if she were that psychologically fragile, she wouldn't have cheated on her husband.

So his ex-wife's suicide wasn't actually her own choice; it was...
Zhou Huai'an's eyes slowly moved, looking at Zhou Zi'ang lying on the bed, looking extremely disheveled but calm and content. He couldn't help but swallow. How old was he then? Would he really push his mother downstairs?

But if he really did push him, how terrifying must that child be?
For a moment, Zhou Huai'an looked at his son as if he were looking at a monster. What exactly is this thing?
That evening, Zhou Huai'an had his second brother, who had rushed over, take his elderly mother away, and then returned to his ward.

He sat on the single sofa opposite the hospital bed, his eyes fixed on Zhou Ziang.

Zhou Ziang lowered his eyelids, curled up the corners of his mouth, and said, "Ask whatever you want. As long as I know it, I will definitely tell you."

When did he stop putting on an act in front of his father?

It seems like it was the moment his father saw through him.

That makes sense. After all, he's his own father; it's not surprising that he can see through him.

Zhou Huai'an frowned as he looked at his nonchalant attitude.

He regrets it now. He regrets that when he was young, he should have stopped him from lying and framing others in time, instead of going along with it under the guise of protecting him.

If he had stopped him then, would he have been able to correct his awkward personality?
It's a pity that there are everything in this world except "what ifs".

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Huai'an asked directly, "I want to know, when you were five years old, your mother wasn't your Aunt Chen Ju."

Ironically, the day after Zhou Huai'an married Chen Ju, Zhou Zi'ang started calling her "Mom" very affectionately, which moved Chen Ju to tears.

In contrast, Xu You, who always called Zhou Huai'an "Uncle," seemed less likable.

But this son, who kept calling his stepmother "Mom," kicked her in the stomach when she was pregnant and completely unprepared. After she fell, he kicked her several more times until he was sure there was blood under her and that the baby might not survive.

Zhou Huai'an closed his eyes. At this moment, he seemed to truly understand how much pain Chen Ju felt and how deep her hatred for Zhou Zi'ang was.

This child, whom she truly loved, killed her child and almost killed her as well.

"Zhou Ziang, tell me the truth, did your mother jump off the building herself, or did you push her?"

"Of course I pushed it."

Zhou Ziang admitted it very readily, and when he talked about his biological mother, it was as if he were talking about something disgusting and filthy: "How could someone as selfish and pleasure-loving as her commit suicide? It was me who tricked her to the top floor and then pushed her off with a stick."

After saying that, he even spread his hands and said, "Look how good it is that she's dead. No one points at me in kindergarten anymore and says I'm the son of a mistress. That woman who hit and cursed her was even sued by that man, who said that she caused the death of a father because of her defamation. I remember you were the one who told me that. You said he wanted to avenge my mother and sued his ex-wife until she went to jail. Right? You remember? So look how good it is that she's dead. She doesn't have to embarrass me anymore, and she doesn't have to harm others. It's a win-win situation."

In that instant, Zhou Huai'an looked at his son and a chill ran straight from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, making him shiver for no reason.

This is a devil, isn't it? Why would he give birth to a devil?

good night!
