I don't recognize any of those names like Tiger, Ha, Gui Tou Chang, or Nie Yao.

He once thought that Mei Lu was the gentlest and kindest mother in the world, and Mei Baoshan was the best uncle in his heart.

They also frequently warned him that drug use was shameful and that he should never touch drugs.

But what about them? They were allies with pirates and drug lords. And how did the pirates and drug lords treat those girls? What did they take these beautiful young women for?

Nie Yao finally realized how filthy and sinful his mother and uncle were, and how much sin he carried. But just then, a young girl in the prime of her life died to save him.

He was in pain, distressed, and ashamed, wishing he could have Chen Rou shoot him.

But as the saying goes, some are happy while others are at odds. At this moment, his younger brother, Nie Zhao, was unusually beaming with joy.

The Soviet-style medium-sized warship he bought has not only arrived, but after 24 hours of hard work by a group of painters, it has been painted from the Soviet-style olive green to the American-style silver-gray, and its texture has improved a lot.

At his request, Secretary An is leading a team to work on the interior design.

Everything in the restaurant was removed and replaced with a soft, comfortable sofa; a refrigerator was also installed immediately.

Nie Zhao also carefully selected bottles of wine and beverages and placed them inside.

Secretary An was very thoughtful; he even brought Chen Rou's personal belongings, including her spare pajamas at the hotel. In fact, if there had been enough time, he could have even brought the bed, but the boss was in a rush, so he didn't.

Just as the spray painting work outside was finished, he wiped the black glass coffee table with his sleeve one last time and looked at Nie Zhao: "Boss, what do you think? Are you satisfied with this house?"

The sofa is semi-circular and also black, with a cream-colored cashmere carpet underneath. The walls have also been specially wiped clean, so they are spotless. However, what's not so nice is that they are the original colors. If there's enough time, Mr. Nie would like to put up wallpaper.

After all, the exterior had just been painted, and the smell was still quite strong.

Nie Zhao nodded: "Very good, thank you for your hard work."

He added, "Go back and get your lucky money from the finance department first. I've already made arrangements."

Secretary An led a group of people to work hard for 24 hours. Boss Nie is not a stingy person and will give out big red envelopes.

Although working overtime is tough, everyone is happy to receive extra bonuses.

Secretary An went up to the deck and gathered the spray painters, naturally wanting to spread the boss's orders and gain some favor with him.

Inside the cabin, Wade was quite unhappy: "The paint is harmful, the smell is too strong, and it's bad for your health."

Nie Zhao pointed to his face: "It's only a six-hour round trip, and we will all wear masks."

Wade added, "That area is patrolled by US warships, and there are always pirates around there."

Nie Zhao pointed to the medium-sized ship itself and said, "Don't forget, we are now also US warships."

He painted the entire warship silver, a color commonly used by Americans.

Moreover, they had the British patrol routes, and Chen Ke and his men ran the routes many times without ever encountering the British. Besides, even if they did, Nie Zhao could simply give the governor a heads-up and it would be taken care of.

After a long silence, Wade said, "Boss, you're acting strange. You weren't usually like this."

His boss initially bought medium-sized ships to help the international police.

Of course, the international police would send him large quantities of precious metals, most of which are more valuable than gold.

Because the Soviet Union was about to collapse, this medium-sized ship was being secretly resold for a price lower than cabbage; buying it was a steal.

Actually, Wade had already figured out when the boss asked him to complete the paint job within 24 hours: the boss was going to sea.

But he's too audacious. Back in Europe, he never dared to wander around and was always cautious and careful to protect himself. Now, he's actually going to the Philippines with just a bunch of his family's bodyguards.

Let alone encountering Americans, what if he gets captured by pirates again?

Wade couldn't understand it.

He knew the landlady was in the Philippines, but he also knew that place was extremely dangerous.

It was getting dark, and even a medium-sized ship wouldn't arrive in the Philippines until around 11 p.m.

What if we don't find the landlady at night, but instead run into pirates?

Moreover, the boat has just been painted and is very toxic. Is the owner, who always insists on eating all organic, natural and pollution-free food, planning to become a human air purifier for the international police and help them breathe in formaldehyde?

Nie Zhao was indeed a bit strange, because he was actually very scared.

They were afraid of death and pirates.

Fearing that if they were captured by pirates, they would be subjected to another ordeal without anesthesia, with iron chains piercing their shoulder blades and iron nails pinning their skulls.

He also knew that if he went to the Philippines, the most likely outcome would be that he would cause trouble for Chen Rou.

But he still wanted to go.

Because the night before last, he had exhausted her so much, yet she still left in a gentle and kind tone.

But he let her go without saying goodbye.

When Han Yuzhu was about to die, Mei Lu, fearing that he would catch the illness, forbade him to see her one last time. Nie Zhao did not say goodbye to his mother, so he had an inhuman fear of life and death.

He knew perfectly well that this idea was ridiculous, not naive, and even childish.

But what he feared more than death was that his beloved, his emotional support, would suddenly disappear without a word of goodbye, never to be found again.

He was afraid of this from the moment Chen Rou left.

Everyone else has been living their lives these past few days, and he seems to be doing the same, but beneath that calm exterior, he has gone mad.

He was indeed going to take a risk, but if he didn't go, he feared his heart would shatter at some point.
