Set to trial for aiding CEO Zhu Guorong's escape, Zhou Zhenan expressed regret for letting Zhu board his yacht. Following the insider trading and securities fraud conviction that led to Zhu fleeing, Zhou, known as a 'super car expert' and 'yacht tycoon,' surrendered and is facing charges along with Zhu and others for violating immigration laws. Despite partially admitting guilt in court, Zhou told the media he regrets his 'wrong decision,' convinced by Zhu, emphasizing their good friendship. The trial also involved the boat's captain and crew, expressing regret and hoping for leniency, stating they were unaware of Zhu's escape plan while sticking to the scheduled sailing for sightseeing purposes at Baishawan Pier in 2023, a trip unrelated to Zhu's escape scheme.
