After all, it was a family matter of the Nie family, and the bodyguards only listened to the Nie family, so they withdrew completely in the blink of an eye.

Nie Zhao couldn't hold on any longer and fell backward. Fortunately, Song Yuanchao caught him, preventing his head from hitting the edge of the bed.

Chen Rou also threw down the knife and gun in her hand, and together with Song Yuanchao, they gently placed Nie Zhao's head on the pillow.

Uncle Ming couldn't get involved, but he kept clenching his hands and hesitated before saying, "Third Master, why don't we rest for a bit before settling the accounts?"

Nie Han got up, wiping the blood from her face, and said, "If I were Mei Baoshan, I would only run away now, run far away, and never come back."

Uncle Ming smiled wryly, looked around, and said softly, "No."

Before that fierce battle, everyone on this floor was unable to distinguish friend from foe, and each had their own agenda.

But this bloody battle was a matter of life and death for Nie Zhao, and it also distinguished friend from foe.

Uncle Ming was still doubting Chen Rou's intentions yesterday, but of course he dared not doubt them now.

He even touched Amin when he fell and found that he was still warm and alive, but he didn't make a fuss. Instead, he chose to play along with Nie Zhao and Chen Rou in a play, a play to deceive Mei Baoshan.

The other bodyguards were in a panic, and because they hadn't dared to move after entering, they didn't know that Amin was still alive. Some of them were Mei Baoshan's inside men and would keep him informed.

Now, as the master, Nie Zhao is openly calling Mei Baoshan to report on his duties. His inside man will also provide corroborating evidence from private sources, saying that both assassins are dead. This means that although the assassination failed, the witnesses are also dead, and there is no way to verify the facts. Under these circumstances, no one can accuse Mei Baoshan, so why would he need to escape?

If he escapes, it will only confirm that he is the mastermind; if he doesn't escape, there's still room to clear his name.

So barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will definitely come.

With his arrival, mysteries such as who is behind him and why he killed Nie Zhao can be solved. The grievances will be settled, and the debts will be repaid. Who caused Nie Zhao to become like this? The matter should be resolved.

Uncle Ming certainly wanted this matter to pass quickly so that Nie Zhao could take over smoothly, but the problem was that he had just come off the operating table and was still in the recovery period. Too much mental and physical exertion might cause something to go wrong.

So he wanted to slow things down, let Nie Zhao rest and recover first, and then settle the accounts later.

He held his breath, watching Nie Zhao, wondering if he would change his mind, but he didn't. Nie Zhao closed his eyes and remained silent for a moment, then raised his hand and waved, pointing at Chen Rou. Uncle Ming immediately understood: "Okay, I will do my best to cooperate with Chen, uh, Third Aunt!"

...

The intensive care unit was vandalized, so Nie Zhao could no longer stay there and needed to be moved to another ward. Therefore, he had to be moved out first.

The room Chen Rou reserved for him only had basic physiotherapy equipment and was not suitable for a critically ill patient like him. However, the ward where Nie Rong was staying had various equipment that Dean Wu had specially transferred from the general ward area. No matter how big the problem is, human life is at stake, and fighting is the norm in Hong Kong these days. So after the fight was over, the doctors came to allocate wards and transfer patients.

With an unknown origin, even Chen Rou couldn't guess what kind of background Song Yuanchao was. He was a retired soldier from the mainland who had landed in Hong Kong ahead of the active-duty soldiers. Not only that, he was now wearing Nie Zhao's expensive custom-made suit, carrying a gun, and had transformed into the No.1 bodyguard captain of Nie's security department, responsible for guarding the sleeping Nie Zhao.

Because the next step is to target Mei Baoshan and hear his backstory, and Chen Rou doesn't have enough manpower at the moment, she assigned Nie Han a task to handle things for her alone.

After settling Nie Zhao in, Chen Rou needed to discuss the next steps with Nie Rong.

At this moment, Uncle Ming and Chen Rou were still in the intensive care unit, as was Nie Rong.

But with Secretary An, his two personal secretaries, and his bodyguard all absent, Nie Rong appeared somewhat lonely and dejected.

The room was still filled with the stench of blood and dismembered limbs; no one came in to inquire, and no one dared to clean it.

The fact that these people could sit still in a dead body was still thanks to Han Yuzhu.

She once bought a piece of land, which was the site chosen by Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital for its new hospital. In Hong Kong, where land is extremely valuable, as long as the Nie family agreed to sell the land, everyone at Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital, from the director to the board of directors, could turn a blind eye to their family's affairs.

However, the main problem is that Hong Kong's judicial system is too chaotic. Money can buy anything, and rich people can commit murder and arson and wear gold belts.

Even though Nie Rong was incredibly wealthy, capable of suppressing a gunfight and temporarily preventing police intervention, and possessed astonishing power, he was still the most heartbroken, tragic, and pained person in the entire scene at this moment.

He sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the crimson blood on the white sheets, silent as a statue.

Chen Rou was taking a break to eat breakfast.

She ate very simply, just the vacuum-packed bread that Nie Han had bought yesterday.

The water was distilled water that Nie Han had brought up from downstairs yesterday. She was very active and never skimped on food and drink. In the poorly ventilated room filled with the smell of blood, she ate a piece of bread and drank a mouthful of water, and in the blink of an eye, she had eaten two large cream breads and drunk a full bottle of water.

While she wolfed down her food in a very rude manner, Nie Rong was extremely worried, but he didn't dare to utter a sound.

He was frightened, frightened by Chen Rou.

Although she had been particularly domineering from the start, he knew there were two possibilities: one was that she was arrogant and ignorant of her own limitations, and the other was that she was indeed powerful and fearless.

But even he couldn't have imagined that she was not only brave but also resourceful, and that she could decisively and swiftly find the murderer with a single, powerful move.

Finally, she finished eating and drinking, let out a burp, and put down her water bottle. Nie Rong, contrary to her arrogance and domineering attitude when she first returned, asked in a consultative tone, "Arou, in your opinion, who should we let in?"
