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...
Although Nie Rong had arranged his itinerary for a formal public visit to the mainland on May 4th, he was actually reluctant to go because, according to Liang Lisheng's feedback, he would only be received by a provincial-level unit, not a national-level unit.
The South China Sea Navy was not included in the reception, which he felt was far too low a standard of hospitality.
However, after being forcefully kicked out of the management by his son, Nie Rong has gradually found enjoyment in retirement, going from initial humiliation, anger, and resentment. He not only started raising birds like Liang Lisheng, but also often plays with Zhui Feng.
In his words, an old man and an old dog are a perfect match.
Being idle at home is naturally boring, and just then Liang Lisheng called to talk about Chen Rou's motorcycle race with Koizumi. Nie Rong became interested: "When is it? I'd like to go and watch too?"
Liang Lisheng said, "Forget it, it won't be until one o'clock in the morning, you can't stay up that long."
Nie Rong really couldn't stay awake at one o'clock in the morning, but he said, "It's so dangerous to drive a sports car at night, why not do it during the day?"
Liang Lisheng explained, "The traffic flow going up and down the mountain during the day is too heavy, which is too unsafe."
Nie Rong hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's change the location. Let's go to Happy Valley and go down from the top of the mountain. I'll open the door for them."
It is said that Koizumi Hei-ding is the racing god of Mount Akina. If you want to find a road in Hong Kong with few people, sharp bends, and no cars, the Nie family's villa behind Mount Ma Pao Di would be a good choice. However, that mountain was bought up by Han Yuzhu 50 years ago and the land has been hoarded until now. Only now has Nie Zhao begun to plan and prepare for development.
Liang Lisheng only wanted to chat about gossip with his elder brother, but his brother gave him a new idea, which he then expanded on: "Doesn't that mean we can catch a glimpse of Third Madam's charm as long as we're in the villa?"
Nie Rong has heard his two grandsons talk about motorcycles every day, and he's almost tired of it. He's also heard that young people are particularly fond of some kind of drifting technique imported from Tokyo, which doesn't sound very reliable.
He said, "It's always safer during the day than at night. I'm afraid of bothering people, so I won't say anything. Can you help me persuade Ah Rou to stop? Don't try to compete with them. It's best if we earn more money than them."
Liang Lisheng understood that his elder brother actually cared more about his daughter-in-law's health and safety than he did, but he was just being naive.
Just as he was about to hang up, Nie Rong asked again, "Has that old man Dong from Kowloon been discharged from the hospital for a while now?"
Liang Lisheng immediately understood: "You want to meet him and ask me to make an appointment with him?"
Having been left behind by Chen Rou and Nie Zhao for so long, Nie Rong was unaware of Chen Rou's relationship with the two old men. He only said, "We can't wait until after the handover to develop Kowloon, that would be too late. If we want to do development, Rou and Zhao should start now. Only one of the old men can stay. We need to discuss cooperation as soon as possible."
While Liang Lisheng was still thinking, Nie Rong said again, "You talk to Arou yourself. If Azhao comes forward... I'm afraid it will affect their marital relationship. You know, Ayu and Ajun aren't very good, and Ahan is even worse. If their marital relationship is better, I can probably see one more grandson before I die. Arou is smart, and I think she should be intelligent."
There were two old men in Kowloon, but in order to maximize commercial interests, only one could be kept, and then all efforts were devoted to real estate development.
That was also the primary factor in Han Yuzhu's choice of Chen Rou as her daughter-in-law.
But as shrewd as Nie Rong was, he knew that having his son talk to his daughter-in-law about this would affect their relationship. He himself didn't want to be the bad guy, and that would mean his loyal little brother Liang Lisheng would have to suffer.
Unfortunately, Liang Lisheng was a man of unwavering loyalty and integrity who loved to take on too much and do things that were neither good nor bad.
He hung up the phone and called Uncle Ming first to ask if the landlady was home and what she was doing.
But when Sister Chang answered the phone and heard that Liang Lisheng was looking for Uncle Ming, she laughed and said, "He's on the hillside behind here. Mr. Liang, aren't you home? If you were home, you could see him."
Liang Lisheng had just returned from the mainland today and was on his way home. He asked, "What did you see?"
Sister Chang and a group of maids were all at the back window. She smiled and said, "Uncle Ming went to the scene to see Third Aunt."
Liang Lisheng suddenly realized what was happening and swerved the steering wheel onto the road behind the Nie family's courtyard. He was always a reckless driver, and with a loud bang, the Pajero's front end lifted up and the rear wheels were off the ground; it had already gone up the mountain.
Behind this is another small hill, owned by the Nie family. Currently, there is only a shooting range on the hillside, which also belongs to the Nie family. Chen Rou wants to practice riding motorcycles, and this mountain road is the most convenient because there are no people or cars around.
But the Nie family has always been like this: when there are no unexpected events, Liang Lisheng is the biggest unexpected event.
Sure enough, just as he turned the corner at the entrance to the mountain, he saw a motorcycle speeding towards him at a dive.
This is a private road, very narrow, only wide enough for one vehicle, and with slopes on both sides and high curbs. If Liang Lisheng were to swerve to avoid it, his own car would overturn.
But just looking at the motorcyclist's thin shoulders and arms, he looks like a third wheel. What can be done about that?
In the blink of an eye, Liang Lisheng swerved the steering wheel, crashing into the curb with a bang. Looking back, he saw Chen Rou standing in the middle of the road, her motorcycle overturned on the ground. She had taken off her helmet and was walking towards him, holding it: "Uncle Liang?"
With a flurry of footsteps approaching, Nie Zhao was also there, and asked, "Uncle Liang, you're back?"
Liang Lisheng understood. Chen Rou was playing with her car here today, and coincidentally, he almost hit her.
Fortunately, only his front bumper was damaged.
But a huge mystery also lingered in his mind. He pushed open the car door and got out, asking, "How did you stop the car?"
