Chen Rou first meets Nie Zhao because of an anti-terrorism case involving Hong Kong's wealthy elite. He is the richest man in Hong Kong for many years, and a renowned powerful figure. Even thou...
Upon arriving in Hong Kong, Mr. Dong and Mr. Wan were immediately sent to the hospital.
Chen Rou hadn't rested for several days and nights, so of course she needed to get some rest first.
She's learned to be lazy now, mainly because Boss Nie's bed is so comfortable. That day, she made an exception and took a two-hour nap in broad daylight before getting up.
Actually, Nie Zhao had a much harder time than her, because he didn't rest at all when he got back and went straight to work at the company.
When Chen Rou woke up, she first called Aunt Chang and asked her to make her a cup of coffee and bring it upstairs. Then she had to call Uncle Er to ask about his condition. However, after the call connected, she didn't ask about Uncle Er's health first, but said, "Uncle Er, I came back with Uncle Dong last night."
Grandpa Er set off early and returned early, but he was getting on in years. He rested for a long time after returning and had only just gotten up. He sounded dejected and asked in a hoarse voice, "I heard he was trapped for a long time. Is he alright?"
Chen Rou truthfully stated, "I suffered from heatstroke, dehydration, and dengue fever."
After a moment's thought, Grandpa Er said, "It would be good if it could be cured."
Originally, he couldn't wait for Master Dong to die before him, but now his mindset has changed. He hopes that Master Dong will die before him, but not so quickly, because during the half day that Master Dong was trapped, he discovered that when a person loses an enemy, just like losing a friend, it makes people sad, lost, and bewildered. That feeling is not pleasant either.
Chen Rou added, "He had a high fever and mentioned you in his sleep."
Master Er was a bit smarter than Master Dong in this regard, and he saw through Chen Rou's intentions. He knew she was trying to reconcile him and Master Dong, and that she was only saying nice things, so he immediately said, "Never mind, I don't want to hear it..."
"He said that if he were to die, his biggest worry would be that you would destroy his gang. The second-in-command of the gang has two wives, one big and one small, and he has mortgaged three buildings. One-Eyed is an orphan and a eunuch..." Chen Rou ignored his attempts to stop her and continued talking. What she said was exactly the true situation on Master Dong's side.
Although Mr. Dong never said anything in his sleep to Chen Rou, he was definitely worried about these things.
What she said was exactly what touched Master Er the most, because the reason why the henchmen were so loyal and willing to follow them was because they all had families to support and needed to make a living.
The outcome between Master Er and Master Dong, or who dies first or last, is not significant. What matters is that when they die, their opponents will stop at nothing to attack their subordinates and plunder their assets.
It's quite a coincidence that Master Dong's entrapment was completely accidental, but it provides a good hypothetical scenario. It allows you to imagine what would happen if you put yourself in Master Dong's shoes, now that he's dead.
The Nie family's phone had a recording button, and without making a sound, Chen Rou pressed the record button.
Master Er immediately said, "He is narrow-minded and overthinks things. I can say with certainty that if he dies before me, I will not touch a single piece of the land or property under his name, and I will treat his people as well as possible."
Chen Rou smiled and said, "You're only saying this because he's still alive, right? If he were dead..."
With a firm tone, Master Er said, "Precisely because he is still alive, I cannot bear witness to you or to the world. But Ah Rou, if Master Dong had died under that active volcano in the Philippines yesterday, you would have seen that what I said was true."
Chen Rou pressed the record button and then said, "In this respect, Mr. Dong's magnanimity is not as great as yours."
Although Chen Rou was praising him, Master Er sighed deeply and said, "A-Rou, you're just trying to coax me. I'm very angry."
He went to the Philippines with a group of loyal followers who regarded him as a father, prepared to die for it. He genuinely wanted to help Chen Rou, and in exchange, he wanted an opportunity to do DNA testing.
Because many things are known only to the heart, even though he repeatedly convinced himself that Er Hong was more handsome and generous than Dong Ying, and that Chen Juan must love Er Hong, he didn't have the same certainty in his heart as Master Dong.
He worked himself to the bone, but Chen Rou tricked him. He left early because he was afraid that Master Dong would die. He wanted to come back to discuss the plan, but he suddenly realized that Chen Rou had deceived him, and that's why he reported her in anger.
If it were anyone else, and they pulled such a big trick, Master Er would have already issued a kill order.
But Chen Rou is the wife of the richest man, and is also very likely his granddaughter. He was angry, but he could only complain like this.
After complaining, he said, "Okay, let's stop talking. In the future, unless it's for DNA testing, you don't need to contact me again."
Chen Rou blurted out, "Father, you're not helping me, you're helping the mainland, you're helping the South China Sea Navy."
After realizing he had been tricked, Master Er did not blame Chen Rou or intend to turn against her. However, he made a decision: unlike Master Dong, he would not be manipulated by this little girl. He set a bottom line: unless Chen Rou was willing to do a DNA test with him, he would not fight for his granddaughter.
But as the saying goes, "The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease." He had already given up his thoughts and calmed down, but she provoked him again.
Mr. Er said, “I know that all the ICPO members are from mainland China. This is the first time since China joined the ICPO alliance in 1984 that they have gone abroad to carry out a mission, but that has nothing to do with me.”
Chen Rou smiled and said, "Of course there are, no, there are a lot of them."
He then said, "If you do the math, how many more years until we return?"
Furthermore, "Do you think our mainland government wouldn't do anything to express our gratitude to the patriots in the South China Sea who helped China before the handover, especially considering how many people you've taken care of in Kowloon over the years?"
The charm of language lies in the fact that, to put it bluntly, "Master Er" is a gang leader, a tyrant who bullies men and women, but to put it nicely, he is the protector of the people of Kowloon, their provider.
