There are far too many people like Chen Mo who are suspected of committing the crime. After preliminary investigation, Chen Mo's suspicion is even ranked lower.

Moreover, Chen Mo had already instructed his parents on how to handle the money.

Zhou Tianhao was not a law-abiding citizen and had done many immoral things. Naturally, he was worried about being exposed, so he kept a large amount of cash and anonymous or stolen bank cards at home.

After being interrogated and examined, Chen Mo didn't touch anything that might reveal his identity; he only took cash and some bank cards.

The bank card was left untouched, and the cash was disguised as savings and loans to pay for medical expenses.

After all, Chen Mo's family was relatively well-off, and their savings of several hundred thousand yuan did not arouse suspicion. In addition, they had borrowed money from relatives, friends, and colleagues, so it was reasonable for them to raise over a million yuan. This amount of money was enough to support them for a period of time. Once the storm had passed, they could gradually use other funds.

Therefore, the police have not focused their suspicions and investigations on Chen Mo so far, and their investigation into him has only progressed to the review of his background file.

They didn't even know that Chen Mo was on that crashed passenger plane.

Originally, Chen Mo did not reveal his whereabouts when he left, so his parents did not know that he had gone abroad, let alone that their son was on the crashed passenger plane reported on TV.

Until they received a call from the airline.

Upon learning that Chen Mo had perished in a plane crash and his fate was unknown, the two were extremely anxious. However, Chen Jingde still needed care at the hospital, and the two of them could not afford to collapse.

The two could only keep a close eye on the search and rescue progress, while secretly praying that Chen Mo would escape danger and return alive.

Zhang Xin and Xu Qing looked at the three foreigners blocking their way with suspicion. They usually kept to themselves and never interacted with them. When they met at the beach, they would just brush past each other without ever saying hello. What were they up to today?

Before the two women could react, three foreigners rushed forward and snatched the cans of food from their hands.

"What are you doing?!"

Zhang Xin shouted angrily.

The two girls, like two angry little female cats, glared fiercely at the three foreigners who were a full head taller than them, showing no fear whatsoever.

Faced with the two women's questions, the three men gave a disdainful smile.

"The food on the plane should belong to everyone. Why should you eat it all? From now on, anything you find must be divided equally! Aren't you China the most righteous people who value fairness, democracy, and communism?"

The three had long discovered that the "burden" they had abandoned was lucky enough to frequently find compressed biscuits and canned food. They had also searched carefully on the beach, but to no avail, and had long been envious of them.

Today's harvest was meager, but I happened to run into the two people who had just found canned food, and my long-suppressed dissatisfaction finally erupted.

They never considered that when they caught several fish and were full, they didn't share a single one with anyone else.

It's okay for people to be a little selfish, but you can't be selfish yourself and then demand generosity from others; that's shameless.

Chen Mo, watching the scene unfold on the beach from the woods, turned cold. The three, however, remained oblivious, smugly carrying cans of food and preparing to head back.

At this moment, the people in the nearby camp heard the arguing and rushed over.

Seeing the two women's angry expressions and the cans of food in the three people's hands, the arriving group immediately understood what had happened.

The bodyguards immediately stepped forward and stopped the three of them.

"What, you want to fight?"

The three men raised their sharp spears and glared fiercely at the crowd that had surrounded them.

They were inherently aggressive and ruthless, with considerable fighting experience. Coupled with their weapons, they were not afraid of the old, weak, sick, or disabled.

On the other side, although there were nearly ten people, only the bodyguard was capable of fighting. The three foreigners were tall and strong. He was confident that he could handle one or two of them, but he was not so sure about the three of them coming at him together, as they were armed with spears.

"Let them go!"

Su Wan said coldly from the side.

She realized that the situation was unfavorable for them. Since the three men had taken the food, they were unlikely to return it to them. Their arrogant and fearless demeanor, as well as the sweat on the bodyguard's forehead, indicated that it was virtually impossible for them to get the can back.

Since that's the case, there's no need to continue this stalemate. A real fight would be disadvantageous for them. If their only fighting force is injured, they would be at the mercy of others.

We don't know when rescue will arrive, so let's be careful.

The bodyguard felt relieved upon hearing this and then turned to look at the old man.

The old man shook his head as well.

They've already started to steal it, do you expect to reason with them? Since you can't win by fighting, you can only plan for the long term; there's no need to act rashly.

After the three foreigners left, Su Wan went up to comfort the two women.

"You don't blame me for letting them go, do you?" Su Wan asked softly.

The two quickly shook their heads.

"We know that if a fight breaks out, Brother Wang will definitely get hurt."

"But what will happen in the future? They'll definitely rob us again!"

Su Wan patted their heads and said softly.

"When we get back, we'll each make a spear. From now on, don't act alone. Stay together. If they dare to steal again, we'll fight them!"

In the end, Su Wan's gentle voice carried a hint of determination.

Chen Mo's gaze lingered on Su Wan for a moment as he stood in the woods, a slight smile appearing on his lips. He hadn't expected this seemingly delicate woman to be so strong-willed.

"Sister Su is right, I'll definitely bite them to death next time!"

Xu Qing grinned, revealing a set of small white teeth, and said fiercely.

Su Wan smiled gently, it seemed that the two of them didn't need her comfort at all.

Little did she know that the three foreigners had become villains in the eyes of the two little girls. They believed that Super Hero would definitely take down these three bad guys who bullied underage children!

As the three of them were talking, they fell behind and walked back with the others. Suddenly, Zhang Xin let out a soft exclamation and ran towards the boundary between the beach and the woods. The other two quickly followed.

On the sandy ground under the tree, two cans of food lay quietly, with a sealed strip of packaging next to them.

A tall, black figure appeared in their minds. The two women exchanged a glance, happily picked up the can, and curiously tore open the packaging of the strip on the spot.

The black thing inside was revealed; it turned out to be a chocolate bar!

The two little girls were overjoyed. While Su Wan marveled at their luck, a sense of doubt arose in her heart.

This is basically the very edge of the beach. The waves seem to have swept quite far, and by such a coincidence, three things have ended up together.

On the other side, the three foreigners returned to the camp with great satisfaction. One of them eagerly opened the can of food in his hand first, and a long-lost aroma of meat wafted out. Seeing the tempting chunks of meat inside, he couldn't help but swallow hard and put his mouth to it, ready to start eating.

Just then, he suddenly felt a pain in his arm, and his hand involuntarily swung, sending the entire can of food flying and spilling it all over the ground. It was clearly inedible now.
