In the bustling Causeway Bay, the unlicensed Pajero had already sped away, while the Flying Tigers arrived late.

The foreigner, whose nose was kicked by the female robber and bled profusely, bared his teeth and brandished his fists, yelling and cursing at the Flying Tigers team members.

The real gangsters who had been beaten surrounded the police officers, complaining: "We saw it! It was Officer Huo Qi who kidnapped people!"

A group of fake gangsters filming a movie are gathered around the camera, watching the exciting scene captured by the photographer. The director, holding the script, slaps the group of actors and points at the female robber in the shot, saying, "Open your eyes wide, that's good, now that's what you call professional."

The television reporter, who had just arrived, was interviewing witnesses: "How many kidnappers were there, and who were they kidnapping?"

The witness hesitated for a long time before finally saying to the camera, "I was just passing by, just passing by."

As they sped towards the dock, Qin Qianqian finally realized after hearing Chen Rou speak to her in standard Mandarin and address her as "comrade": "You, Chen Rou, you really are a bodyguard from Zhongnanhai."

At the same time, she was also angry. She sat up and smiled contemptuously: "You must come from a high-ranking family. You have received excellent upbringing and treatment since you were a child. How could someone as high and mighty as you know how miserable the fate of girls from ordinary families at the bottom of society is? If you ask me where my money came from, I will tell you the truth: I earned it through my own abilities."

Although no police cars had arrived yet, Nie Jiajun, who was driving, was on tenterhooks and said, "Brother Huo, quickly shut her up."

Huo Qi turned Qin Qianqian's face and was about to stuff the black mask into her mouth.

Qin Qianqian continued to curse, "Pah! You've ruined the mainland and us, and now even Hong Kong is falling into your clutches. Anyone with a bit of skill has run away. I only regret that I'm not as good as you and all my efforts have been in vain."

Huo Qi hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to let go.

Since the reforms began in the mid-1980s, there has been a sharp outflow of talent from mainland China, with many flocking overseas.

Qin Qianqian wasn't wrong; all the capable people had run away. Against this backdrop, with Hong Kong about to return to China, tough guys like Huo Qi would never have cooperated with the mainland if they hadn't been kicked out of the police force.

Chen Rou is Chen Ke's relative, and it's hard to say whether she can be considered a high-ranking official like Huo Qi. Although she was operating illegally and laundering money, she was indeed transferring money from her own company's account. Was it right for him to kidnap her and send her back to the mainland?

Looking at the pitiful yet stubborn Qin Qianqian, Huo Qi's resolve wavered once again.

Girls like her do indeed have a rather tragic past. She has told people her story countless times and gained their sympathy. Seeing Huo Qi hesitate, still hoping for a glimmer of hope, she decided to tell him.

But before she could even open her mouth, Chen Rou spoke up for her: "Your ancestors were the heirs of the Phoenix Tea Factory, you're probably not lying about that, but before Liberation, your ancestors either smoked opium or gambled, and then they lost the tea factory."

Qin Qianqian was stunned for a moment, because what Chen Rou said was indeed the actual situation of her family.

Chen Rou continued, "Your mother must have been very beautiful, but her family background was too bad, so her first marriage was just average. But she married the factory director in her second marriage, and later she chose to divorce him. I guess it was because that factory director was a scoundrel and molested you."

She actually has such a tragic past?

Huo Qi helped Qin Qianqian sit up straight, and Nie Jiajun also slowed down the car.

Being a woman inevitably means being a little soft-hearted.

Chen Rou recounted Qin Qianqian's true story, which was also the most tragic period of her life. Sniffling, she silently began to shed tears. Finally, she said, "I'm a pitiful person, but everyone bullies me, including you."

She is pitiful, but most pitiful people also have hateful aspects.

Chen Rou continued, "But your mother chose to divorce the factory director for your sake, and she probably wanted to report him. But you betrayed your mother and then got a recommendation from the factory director to study in the capital, right? After you got there, you could have studied hard and fought for legitimate opportunities, but you insisted on hanging around the clique and relying on second-generation rich kids."

Qin Qianqian's tears, which had been flowing like a tap, suddenly stopped, but she sneered, tears still streaming down her face: "Why don't you say that everyone else has a background and connections, while I'm all alone? All the opportunities have long been snatched up by people with resources, and it was Wang Meng who set his sights on me. Unlike you, I don't have a background or connections. I have no choice but to be played by him and then abandoned."

With such a powerful backer behind Wang Meng, Qin Qianqian really had no choice but to target him.

Being played with and then abandoned was her fate, and also the fate of most pretty girls like her.

To be honest, her path in life was indeed not her own choice, and she was truly pitiful.

Chen Rou wouldn't deliberately smear Qin Qianqian or portray her as utterly wicked just to win over Huo Qi.

But since she forcibly arrested her, even if Qin Qianqian herself didn't admit it, Chen Rou still had to clearly tell her where she went wrong.

So she said, "You are indeed pitiful, but also very clever. After being abandoned by Wang Meng, you didn't wallow in self-pity or become silent. Instead, you used his connections to start a business. However, in Shenzhen, there was a place called Hongqi Welfare Home that you forced to demolish using your connections. If it weren't for the Nie family donating 500,000 yuan to rent a temporary place for the children, they would have been forced to move to a temporary resettlement site built on a sewage ditch for five years. Due to frequent fungal infections, the mortality rate of the children in the welfare home soared to 80%. And the rubber factory that you had helped to protect, in order to save on sewage fees, caused the cancer rate of the surrounding residents to skyrocket in five years. There was also the nursing home that you forced to relocate, which only accepted three elderly people in ten years, but obtained tens of millions of yuan in pension funds from the civil affairs department. And all of this is only one percent of what you did."
