Because the female reporter was jostled and almost fell, Chen Rou pulled her up and even helped her straighten her clothes.

Then she whispered, "If you're interested in the Nie family business, you can interview my daughter, Ahan, when you have time. She recently earned her Master of Business Administration degree from the University of Hong Kong, and she's doing exceptionally well in the marketing department."

The female reporter was taken aback, because although she was also a woman, she was a very capable reporter.

But like everyone else, when she sees wealthy families, she only focuses on the gossip, infidelity, and extramarital affairs.

This should be considered Chen Rou's first public interview, and also the first question she answered from the female reporter.

As a wealthy wife, when her husband was rumored to be having an affair, she neither declared war on the mistress from afar to show her power as the first wife, nor did she unite with the two grandsons of the wealthy family. Instead, she brought up a girl who was destined to marry out of the family.

Before the reporter could react, Chen Rou said, "Thank you, but I have to go in now."

As soon as she entered, police officers surrounded her and blocked the reporters from entering.

Because Chen Rou cleverly turned off the microphone in the female reporter's hand while speaking, her voice was not transmitted, and the other reporters all surrounded the female reporter asking, "What did Mrs. Nie just say?"

Someone else asked, "Has she made a statement? How will she treat the female bodyguard?"

Someone else shook the female reporter: "Tell me quickly, what did she say?"

The female reporter was also confused, and after a long while she said, "She said that Miss Nie Han obtained a master's degree in economics and trade."

All the reporters surrounding her immediately deflated and scattered.

Even though Nie Rong has settled down and is focusing on raising Nie Han, she is still a girl, and she has three younger brothers who are eyeing her with covetous eyes. No one expected that the power of the Nie family would fall into her hands. Of course, news about her is not worth much.

The scene of the meeting.

Upon seeing Chen Rou, Director Zhang, who was presiding over the meeting, personally stepped forward and guided Chen Rou to her seat.

Then he sat down next to her and said with a smile, "I've long admired Mr. Nie's name, and it's only today that I get to meet you."

Chen Rou said with a smile, "I often hear Huo Qi, Mr. Huo, talk about you, saying that you are a good boss."

Why would she bring up Huo Qi out of the blue?

Director Zhang's smile was a little unnatural, probably to cover his tracks. He looked at Chen Ke, who was sitting to his right, and introduced him with a smile: "This is a police officer from the mainland, Chen Ke, sir. No, they call him comrade."

Their relationship was unknown to outsiders. Chen Ke reached out his hand and said, "It's good that you're with Nie Tai."

Chen Rou smiled and said, "Hello, Comrade Chen Ke."

Director Zhang added, “We are honored that the mainland police came to Kowloon to assist in maintaining public order in preparation for the handover. However, Mrs. Nie may not know that we have had a very difficult time coordinating with each other during this period.”

Chen Rou naturally gave him a way out and went along with what he said.

She asked with a smile, "What do you mean?"

Director Zhang truly lives up to his reputation as a clerical worker and a master of the pen; his words are simply eloquent and captivating.

He said, "In Hong Kong, we advocate for civil rights, democracy, and freedom, while on the mainland, we emphasize collective consciousness. The collective usually takes precedence over the individual. Starting from two different perspectives, we... find it quite difficult to deal with each other."

Even knowing that they were determined to release Cheung Tze-keung this time, Chen Rou's attitude could not be softened.

She could let go of the bet with Huo Qi, but she couldn't take this Zhang Sir lightly, nor could she let it go so easily.

There were cameras and reporters recording at the meeting, and they were pointing directly at her.

She said, “My son Jiajun survived by the skin of his teeth and was almost killed by the kidnappers. I agree with Director Zhang’s opinion. I think that as a citizen of Hong Kong, he should be protected by the police and the police should uphold justice for him.”

Director Zhang choked for a moment, because his so-called civil rights were given to Zhang Ziqiang.

Cheung Tze-keung was only able to be released on bail based on his civil rights.

Chen Rou's words left him speechless, making him roll his eyes for a long time.

Finally, when he saw Liao Sir from Kowloon Police Station giving his report, he was afraid that Chen Rou would not accept it and would stand up to question him publicly, so he said in advance: "Based on the evidence we have so far, Cheung Tze-keung himself did not fire a gun."

Chen Rou smiled and said, "You're wrong about that. Many media outlets in Hong Kong have captured images of him holding a gun."

Director Zhang was also embarrassed, but he forced himself to say, "However, we did not find the gun at the scene."

Just then, Liao Sir was giving a report and also mentioned this issue.

Director Zhang's public relations efforts officially failed, because Chen Rou, the mistress of the Nie family, who rarely appeared in public and was usually very taciturn, publicly challenged the entire audience.

She said, "All the citizens of Hong Kong have seen that Cheung Tze-keung fired a gun, but now you are using the excuse that you can't find the gun to overturn all his kidnapping activities and grant him bail. Do you want to let the tiger go back to the mountains?"

Liao Sir from Kowloon was giving a report on stage, and he looked quite embarrassed.

But he patiently explained, "Mrs. Nie, without a murder weapon, you cannot be convicted under British royal law."

Chen Rou countered, "What about the gun? Inspector Chen from the mainland communicated with us, saying that they applied multiple times to return to the crime scene and find the gun. Why didn't you approve it?"

For three months now, mainland police have been excluded from the investigation.

When Chen Ke recounted this, it sounded like he was complaining, accusing someone, and even being a bit unreasonable.

But Chen Rou is a party involved in the case. She raises questions from a accusatory perspective, which attracts the attention of reporters, who will naturally write about it.

Liao Sir was stumped and looked at Chief Zhang, who quickly said, "We have searched the crime scene repeatedly, and we also have video evidence. We did not find the murder weapon. Mrs. Nie, let's move on to the next topic regarding this."
