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...
Danny Boy was a superstar of his generation. In this era, he was loved not only in Hong Kong but also in mainland China, as were many people like Chen Rou.
She also remembered that he would die young, but because she didn't know much about the Hong Kong entertainment industry and it had been quite chaotic in recent years, she always thought that he might have died in an accident. And coincidentally, the security in Hong Kong in this life was much better than in her previous life, so she thought that kind of accident wouldn't happen. It was only when she was reading the newspaper that she learned that he had taken alcohol and sleeping pills. Thinking about it, it was such a pity. There were so many good songs that she would listen to often in the future.
The fan-organized prayer event invited several famous monks from Hong Kong and also went to the hospital. Participants included entertainment company employees, Danny's relatives, and the police, all of whom were repeatedly vetted.
This admission ticket was therefore extremely valuable to Nie Jiajun.
Chen Rou thought for a moment and asked first, "Do you want to go?"
Nie Jiajun shrugged and said, "If there's no danger, of course I'd like to go, but I'm afraid I'll get kidnapped."
He took another breath and smiled bitterly: "If I had left a day earlier or a day later, I wouldn't have had to face this temptation."
His words were loaded with meaning, and although she hadn't spoken with Nie Zhao yet, Chen Rou had already noticed something, and then she saw what Nie Zhao had done in this stage of his life and in this life.
First of all, Yu Zhengrong also died two years ago in his previous life, and Yu Heng certainly did not give up his revenge. Guo Xiaobai was also doing business in Hong Kong and doing very well. However, when these people returned and Chen Rou became a special police officer, they were all dead. Zhang Ziqiang may look fierce, but as soon as he returned, he was immediately arrested.
In the future, when she was going through the files of the Nie brothers, she also came across that Cheung Tze-keung had listed them as targets. Of course, listing them didn't necessarily mean that he could kidnap them. Kidnapping is a business where if one out of ten attempts succeeds, it's considered good.
From the fact that Nie Zhao deliberately arranged for Nie Jiajun to return to China today, and under the circumstances of meeting with Yu Guangxu, Chen Rou guessed his intention: Nie Jiajun and the billions of yuan that he could immediately monetize were bait.
Upon encountering him, Yu Guangxu would realize that kidnapping him now would be the perfect opportunity to avenge his father.
If Nie Jiajun’s billions were used as an exchange, then the Yu family could make demands, asking Zhang Ziqiang to help them kill Nie Zhao. Yu Heng also had many connections in the police force, and then he could help Zhang Ziqiang escape from Hong Kong. Wouldn’t that be OK?
This is a great opportunity not only to make money but also to kill Nie Zhao. It's a big one, and if played well, Yu Heng and Zhang Ziqiang can split the spoils, with both of them getting seven or eight hundred million.
But at the same time, their deaths were also imminent, because this flaw was deliberately left by Nie Zhao.
Thinking further back, he must have done the same thing in his past life. Although he failed to kill Cheung Tze-keung, he did kill Yu Heng, thus completely eliminating Yu Heng, that thorn in his side.
Well, Boss Nie is indeed a man who can make a lot of money. Chen Rou would have to think of his scheming and tactics several times before she could figure it out. However, at the same time, she also thought of something: in the future, Nie Jiajun will have no affection for Nie Zhao and will be extremely resolute. Could it be because when he gets older, he will realize that he is also a pawn of his uncle?
And now he feels that the timing of his return is too coincidental, which means that he already has some doubts, right?
In Chen Rou's view, it was true that, as the saying goes, "When you're in the world, you're not in control of your own destiny." You have to take responsibility for what you're supposed to do. That's why Nie Rong was against Nie Zhao entrusting Nie Han with important tasks, but he would teach Nie Han whatever he needed to teach.
Nie Han was once just a lovestruck young girl, but seeing that her two younger brothers were still young and not very useful, and that she was the only one who could help her uncle, she would not devote too much attention to her feelings, even if she secretly loved him to death, and actively participate in the company's affairs. Nie Jiajun was the same. Yu Heng had already affected the Nie family, and someone had to take risks to get rid of him. So, since he had the advantage, he should be the bait, after all, he was also a member of the Nie family.
If it were Nie Zhao, he probably wouldn't hold back and would have said it directly.
However, considering that Nie Jiajun was not as open-minded as Nie Han and was actually a bit petty, Chen Rou thought for a moment and decided to take a different approach and simply bring things up now.
She started by saying, "You know that Yu Zhengrong orchestrated the car accident that caused your parents' accident."
After Yu Zhengrong's death, the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau investigated him for a full six months. Newspapers were full of news about him every day. Although the Nie family was not specifically mentioned, Nie Rong and Liang Lisheng had both talked about it, and Nie Jiajun certainly knew about it long ago.
However, he had always believed that Yu Zhengrong's death was an accident and that Song Yuanchao was merely injured by mistake.
He nodded silently and said, "I should thank Song for that; he was almost beaten to death at the police station."
Chen Rou paused for a moment, then said, "Yu Heng has been keeping an eye on your uncle, vowing to avenge his son. These past few years, he's been having nightmares because of worry and fear. But he's a man, and the head of the family, so he doesn't dare tell you. He can only repeatedly advise you not to go to shady places, not to get kidnapped, otherwise..."
Nie Jiajun was initially shocked because if Nie Yao was timid and afraid, he would sympathize with him and think it was normal. But as for Nie Zhao, he could neither believe it nor accept it. It was like a building; if you say there are cracks in the load-bearing walls, the first reaction of the people living inside is fear!
After a long silence, Nie Jiajun said, "My uncle always says that if we get ourselves into trouble and get kidnapped, he won't ransom us."
It's rare for a father and son to have such a conversation, let alone an uncle and nephew.
But it's easier to talk about your aunt. Chen Rou said, "He not only tells you this, but he also says it in public. So, in all these years, despite your status as brothers, Zhang Ziqiang has never even glanced at you."
