On that night by the seaside, two out of three women fell, and the only one remaining awake, Su Ziceng, arrived at Mo City Airport around seven in the morning the following day. She was to take the earliest flight to Japan, seeking to find Yamamoto once more, to ask for clarity.
This escape marked Su Ziceng's second in her life, a departure spurred by a choice to leave, unlike the previous rushed attempt at suicide. This time, she had settled all that needed to be dealt with. She had also met everyone she intended to.
The collapse of the "Golden Coast" seemed like an omen. In the following months, Mo City's political and economic order both felt the impact. The Fei Family officials, led by Mr. Fei, became ensnared in a political donation scandal, which resulted in a joint crackdown by the anti-corruption bureau and the discipline inspection commission.
