Chapter 35 A Silent Contest, Chen Rou Escapes

Logically, a person should know best what they are allergic to.

So since the original owner was allergic to artificial musk, this knowledge should have been in her memories.

However, Chen Rou searched through the original owner's memories but couldn't find any related recollections, which she found somewhat illogical. Just as she sent Nie Zhao back to the intensive care unit and was preparing to assign bodyguards for duty, Secretary An came over and said with a smile, "Miss Chen has been working hard for several days. I just heard from the doctor in the health department that your blood pressure was too low and your heart rate was a bit slow during your physical examination. Why don't you go and rest for a while? You can leave the scene to Uncle Ming and me."

Chen Rou suddenly remembered something: "I had a premarital checkup a few days ago, and it seems the report is out."

She picked up the drink and pretended to take a sip, then said, "But the medical report shouldn't be confidential. Only I should know it. Secretary An, where did you get my medical report?"

Secretary An probably didn't expect Chen Rou to ask such a question, and her expression suddenly became unnatural. She awkwardly smiled and said, "Ms. Chen, you are going to marry the future head of our Nie Group, so our chairman will definitely want to see your medical report."

"Does Ah Zhao know that the Chairman took my medical report?" Chen Rou asked rhetorically.

She had a premarital medical examination, and in principle, only Chen Rou and Nie Zhao should know the results. No one else had the right to know. But Nie Rong was both rich and powerful, so he must have a way to get the results. Secretary An sneered and said, "The Chairman is the father, and Third Master is the son. Whatever the Chairman wants to know, Third Master will definitely agree."

The implication is that Nie Zhao is currently unaware of this matter.

Chen Rou nodded, spat out the straw, and asked, "Does Secretary An know if I have any allergies?"

Secretary An hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your medical report is a thick stack of pages. I haven't looked at the allergy report, so I'm not very clear about it." She then asked, "How about I bring the report over and give it to you so you can look at it yourself?"

"No need, I think with my constitution, I shouldn't have any allergy problems," Chen Rou said calmly.

Secretary An looked embarrassed and said with a forced smile, "I should."

He added, "You should get ready and go to rest early. I'll bring someone to relieve you in a bit."

Chen Rou remained noncommittal, watching him leave before throwing the drink into the trash can in front of Nie Han.

Nie Han had slept well and eaten her fill today, and was full of energy. She was extremely supportive of Chen Rou's decision to give her younger brother Nie Jiayu, who was going through a rebellious phase, three uppercuts in a row. She was also worried about Kuang Zai, Song Yuanchao, and the Taiwanese boys, but unfortunately, Chen Rou was too busy to communicate with her.

Now that Nie Zhao has been admitted to the intensive care unit, Chen Rou is exhausted and tired. She needs to show some care to her new aunt who saved her life and whom she loves dearly.

As soon as Chen Rou sat down, she came over and massaged Chen Rou's shoulders, asking, "Little Aunt, do you not like passion fruit-flavored sweet soup? Would you like me to order you something else?"

Chen Rou is from mainland China and is not used to Hong Kong terminology.

Hearing Nie Han call her "mother" and Nie Rong "grandfather" felt strange, but she was a carefree person who never cared about trivial matters. Even though she liked Nie Han very much, she would not gossip with her and would only ask her about the important things.

Enjoying the massage from the richest man's daughter with her eyes closed, she asked, "Ah Han, where did you order your juice?"

Nie Han wasn't stupid; she knew there were bad people in the house. Quick-witted, she leaned closer to Chen Rou and whispered in her ear, "Will there be anything wrong with the juice?"

He added, "I went out myself and specifically bought Hui Lam Kee from Causeway Bay. Their desserts are the best in Hong Kong."

Chen Rou asked, "Who drove you there?"

Nie Han said, "I called Jia Yu's bodyguard, A Ming."

She's the daughter of the richest man in Hong Kong. Hong Kong has been in turmoil these past few years, and she doesn't dare go out without bodyguards.

That morning, just as Nie Jiayu returned, she took Nie Jiayu's bodyguard out for a while.

Chen Rou grabbed Nie Han's hand and whispered in her ear, "Go downstairs. There's a tea restaurant 500 meters from the hospital. Go get me a plate of stir-fried beef noodles. Also, pick up two bundles of drinks and distilled water from the convenience store next door. Go on."

Nie Han paused for a moment, looked up at the bodyguards on duty, and then leaned close to Chen Rou's ear, still whispering, "Mother, you don't mean you suspect Jia Yu's personal bodyguard, He Biao A Ming, do you?"

Chen Rou blinked and patted Nie Han: "Go quickly."

Yes, she did have suspicions about Amin.

Back on the ship, when she interrogated Tiger, he mentioned that Gui Tou Chang had a single contact person in the Nie family, whose name was A Ming. Yesterday, Tiger, along with the medical ship, was blown to smithereens.

The reason Chen Rou was unaware of her artificial musk allergy was because it was discovered during her premarital checkup. She hadn't encountered it before because she never used food or medications containing artificial musk. The reason Nie Zhao specifically told her about this was probably because the doctor had called him to discuss it after the allergy test revealed the allergen.

He didn't choose to tell her because when the test results came out, the two of them had just been kidnapped, and he hadn't yet found a chance to communicate with her.

What should have been known only to the person involved was revealed to Nie Rong through her medical examination report, meaning that everyone in the Nie family, including Secretary An, Mei Lu, and Nie Yao, now knew about it.

One of them wanted to harm her, so he instructed Amin to add artificial musk to her drink. If Chen Rou hadn't been picky about food and didn't like passion fruit flavored drinks, and had been thirsty and hungry just now, she might have already fallen for it and collapsed.
