Actually, it would be better if Nie Rong really became a monk.

Chen Rou would also be spared the constant worry of having a new mother-in-law who was her own age.

But he takes such good care of himself that he's reluctant to become a monk, much less to die.

However, after this incident, firstly, Nie Zhao should no longer allow him to appear in public. Secondly, if a woman comes to his door in the future, he should no longer have the illusion that an eighteen-year-old girl is in love with him, and therefore he will not cause trouble.

He must have been quite scared afterward, and he no longer had the will to fight Goller.

He was unaware that his daughter-in-law was pregnant, so he didn't say much.

It wasn't until he was about to leave that he thought of a way to save face. He said to Chen Rou, "Ah Rou, the situation in mainland China is different from that in Hong Kong. The social customs are also different. Hong Kong has many wealthy people, but mainland China has many high-ranking officials, all kinds of high-ranking ones. Remember to tell Nie Zhao that when he goes to mainland China, he should be as humble and low-key as possible, and especially not offend the officials."

Liang Lisheng was absolutely doing this on purpose, adding, "And the mistresses of officials, you must not mess with them."

Isn't he making it clear that Nie Rong almost got involved with a high-ranking official's mistress?

That is indeed the case.

Qin Qianqian was probably walking a tightrope between several options. She came to Hong Kong to find Nie Rong, just to see if there was any possibility of marrying into a wealthy family and becoming the matriarch. But when she realized there was no possibility, she left.

Her financial backer on the mainland is certainly powerful enough to make things difficult for the Nie family.

The girl was simply looking for opportunities in her life to maximize her own interests, and she wasn't wrong.

If Nie Rong really falls into the trap, the sugar daddy will secretly get jealous, and the Nie family will suffer in secret.

Nie Rong knew exactly what was going on, but he was stubborn and would never admit it.

...

After dropping the old man off at Yangmadi and handing the car over to the driver, Liang Lisheng got into Chen Rou's car specifically to talk to her about things on the mainland.

Just like a place, when you go there for tourism, you can see beautiful mountains and clear waters and just think it's beautiful. But you have to live there to really feel the bites of cockroaches, mosquitoes, or other small insects.

Water that is too clear has no fish. Liang Lisheng likes the mainland very much, but after all, he is an outsider. There are many things in various aspects that he is tired of dealing with or unable to handle.

Take the Guo family as an example. Modern society doesn't emphasize guilt by association. Besides, the Guo brothers committed drug trafficking, not economic crimes. Furthermore, Guo Fuzheng's father not only knew how to hire a lawyer from Hong Kong but also understood the various unspoken rules in mainland China. Therefore, from the beginning, he tried his best to avoid the creation of evidence chains.

Everyone knows perfectly well that the brothers embezzled a huge sum of money, but the procuratorate has been investigating but has been unable to find any evidence. That's one reason. Another reason is that Guo Fuzheng's aunt, Wang Jianqin, is in charge of the relocation work.

Actually, the whole thing had nothing to do with Liang Lisheng, but he was a businessman who had made his way up from the docks, so he naturally had compassion for ordinary people. As for that Ms. Wang Jianqin, she always used absurd reasons such as the accounts not being recorded in time, the accounts not being settled, or the office having a power outage to forcefully withhold the relocation compensation. It was normal for her to delay for three to five months. As far as Liang Lisheng knew, there were even cases where the compensation was delayed for two or three years.

However, housing prices in Shenzhen are already rising.

If they receive the demolition compensation in time, they can buy a new house immediately.

If they don't get it, given the current economic growth rate in mainland China, those people might end up like the many people living in subdivided flats in Kowloon, never able to afford a house in their lifetime. Even an outsider like Liang Lisheng couldn't stand it.

Because Chen Rou was pregnant, he didn't dare to smoke in the car, so he kept scratching his head: "Compared to the troublemakers in Hong Kong, especially on the island, the citizens of Shenzhen are really good, just too kind."

Chen Rou smiled and said, "So once you went to Shenzhen, you never wanted to come back?"

Liang Lisheng scratched his head again: "Third Aunt, thank you for reminding me of what happened today. I'll tell Lao Xue when I get back. We should be safe than sorry. I'll ask Lao Xue to keep an eye on that female prosecutor."

The "Old Xue" he mentioned is Minister Xue of the Armed Forces Department, who was also Song Yuanchao's comrade-in-arms.

The work in the Armed Forces Department is easy, and Minister Xue seems to be a very upright person.

The armed forces department and the procuratorate have offices on the same street.

Having someone secretly watching over her was indeed a good thing for the female prosecutor.

They had arrived at their doorstep. Liang Lisheng's perm was originally a solid block, but because he kept scratching it, it had split into several strands, making him look like Goku from Dragon Ball, which made Chen Rou want to laugh.

However, it was only today that Chen Rou suddenly realized how significant it was to change the original course of events and prevent the old man Liang Lisheng from dying prematurely.

Hong Kong is full of wealthy old men and rich people, but among all of them, only Old Man Leung has a natural sense of chivalry and a desire to save the world. Only he feels sad when he sees that ordinary people are not receiving their compensation for demolished houses, and only he will stand up without hesitation when he realizes that he may be able to change the situation.

Perhaps because of this, Mei Lu not only wanted Nie Zhen dead, but also wanted Nie Yao to be his godson.

His affection for Nie Yao was far more effective than that for Nie Rong, his biological father.

Chen Rou gestured with her hand as if she were talking on the phone and said with a smile, "You keep an eye on things first. If there's anything you can't handle, just call me. For emergencies, I'll be in Shenzhen within two hours."

Liang Lisheng opened the car door and got out, walking with a limp, but he was also very energetic: "I know, Third Aunt, watch your step!"

She whispered again, "No wonder she's a mainland devil. She cares about everything related to the mainland!"

He will stay a few more days this time because he needs to help Nie Yao transfer his household registration.
