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...
But he sat up again as soon as he lay down: "Let me check the incision, how's the healing going?"
A major test in his life; from then on, Nie Zhao had a wife and son, and they were a family of three.
But he was really tired this past month.
While worrying about his troublesome son, he also had to check whether his wife's surgical wound was healing as expected.
Chen Rou didn't like him pulling down her pants to observe her every day. Besides, the nanny had just come in and was carefully taking the baby away with the nanny. Nie Zhao was used to servants coming and going, but she wasn't.
Seeing that he looked really tired, she patted him and said, "I just checked, he looks fine, lie down for a while."
The nanny glanced at him; he was wearing dress pants, and the boss's legs were simply incredible, impossibly long.
My wife also spent money and worked hard. Not long after giving birth, she was still very toned, and her legs were still so straight.
This couple is really something; they want to make a TV show, but they can't find actors who are good-looking enough.
...
Nie Zhao lay down again, but after sleeping for a while, he sat up again.
He even asked, "Isn't it time for your afternoon physiotherapy session? Shall I go to the physiotherapy room with you?"
The money was well spent, and Chen Rou has indeed recovered very well.
But it's okay to take a day off now and then. She was also tired from the baby's antics, so she said, "If you're not busy, lie down with me for a while. I'll do it later. I want to sleep now."
However, lying in bed together, listening to the noise unique to Central that still lingered outside the double-paned windows despite being filtered several times, she couldn't sleep in broad daylight. After thinking for a moment, she asked again, "By the way, Ah Zhao, what's the baby's name?"
After asking for a long time without getting a reply from Nie Zhao, they looked again and, well, the man had actually fallen asleep.
Chen Rou slowly turned over, and his hand happened to be on her arm. He instinctively pulled away and leaned closer to her. She sat there for a while until he was completely asleep before getting out of bed.
This brings us to the topic of the name of Nie Zhao's son.
Their family didn't really have any rules to begin with. People only start to have rules when they have money. Besides, Nie Rong was free now, and when he heard that a grandson had been born, and it was a boy, who wouldn't want more boys? Even if it was Nie Zhao's son, he would still be happy.
He felt that he should be the one to choose the name, and that it should be in the Jia generation. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he arranged the characters according to the Bagua and named his grandson Jiashan. Then he sent his secretary, A-Kuan, to deliver the name.
But Nie Zhao was furious when he saw it; one could even say he was enraged.
Because he was a rebellious son, and he knew it himself.
Moreover, he himself is not kind. His father used the word "kind" to deliberately rub salt into his wounds.
But because he was happy about having a child, Nie Zhao didn't get angry and just returned the name.
She said that the child's exact birth date did not match the one arranged by the old man, and that she wanted to name the child herself, which caused the delay.
But if he were to choose it himself, he always felt it wouldn't be dignified enough.
But looking across Hong Kong, he couldn't find anyone suitable, or qualified, to name his son.
So even though the little guy is already more than ten days old, his birth certificate still lists him as Chen Rou's son.
Since Nie Zhao was so tired that he fell asleep immediately, Chen Rou decided not to bring up the matter for the time being.
He had already taken off his suit, and the maid had taken it out, but at this moment, Kuang Zai quietly reached in and brought in Nie Zhao's cell phone. It seemed that there was a call coming in; since the boss was asleep, it would be the same to give it to the boss's wife.
After all, up until now, Boss Nie hasn't explicitly mentioned that the phone should be used to protect against his wife's infidelity.
By the way, modern mobile phones have developed text messaging functions and address books, so people can label numbers with names and save them. When it's inconvenient to answer the phone, they can also send text messages.
Seeing that the missed call was from Wade and that he had already hung up, Chen Rou figured it wasn't too important, so she put her phone on the side table next to the sofa and picked up a book.
It's been almost 20 days. The female TCM doctor said it's good to look at books with pictures from time to time. Recently, she has been looking at introductions to various islands near Hong Kong, as well as information about various ocean ferry companies.
Because on the mainland, although Chen Ke and his team had once kept an eye on Cheung Tze-keung, Yue Chung-ki only managed to catch a glimpse of him, and that was under the cover of plainclothes. As a result, Cheung immediately noticed and disappeared.
A domestically produced notorious gangster who grew up on the streets of Hong Kong, Cheung Tze-keung traveled between the mainland and Hong Kong. If he had lived a carefree life for another six or seven years, he certainly wouldn't have been an ordinary person.
Moreover, Chen Ke and his group are coming soon. Based on her professional judgment, Chen Rou guesses that someone in the Hong Kong police force might collude with Cheung Tze-keung to create a sensational case after they arrive, so that they will lose face.
She flipped through books and looked at the computer, trying to find the hideout of Cheung Tze-keung.
On a grander scale, if he could be captured after Chen Ke and his team take over, the reputation of the mainland special police would be established. Looking across the entire South China Sea and even Hong Kong, everyone would have to keep their tails between their legs instead of acting so arrogantly as they do now.
On a smaller scale, Nie Zhao's real estate in Kowloon is about to go on sale. Public security is related to property prices and the safety of citizens. Only if it is safe enough will citizens be willing to stay, instead of taking the demolition compensation and moving overseas to Australia or Canada.
Just after she put down her phone, a notification sounded—it was a text message from Wade:
Boss, the shipping magnate Bao confessed that Yu Heng attempted to use lobbying British banks to provide him with bridge loans in exchange for your whereabouts and to create an opportunity for his assassination. However, the shipping magnate also said...
Next:
Although he had Miss Hong Kong, Anita Mui, wait for you at the airport, he absolutely did not reveal any of your whereabouts to Yu Heng.
There were two text messages in total, both about the same thing.
Chen Rou looked up at Nie Zhao. He was wearing slippers when he got into bed, and he was lying there, still wearing one of his feet.
You could see he was tired, but compared to before, the melancholy and worry on his face were gone.
This future recipient of the Grand Bauhinia Medal is enthusiastically planning to name his baby, hold a 100-day celebration, and even planning a trip to Tokyo to take his baby to Disneyland.
But he was also quite miserable, as if there were always hyenas watching him from the shadows, unwilling to let him go.
