When people do things, it's always for a final result.

Chen Rou was truly cautious. Even in the most urgent situation, she did not choose to hand over all the evidence to Huo Qi. Instead, she chose to keep the items related to the Nie family that she had taken from Sir James' safe close to her body. As for keeping them close to her body, she simply used tape to wrap those items around her waist.

When Nie Zhao returned to the hotel, it was almost dawn. Of course, as he expected, all the major newspapers that had been printed overtime had headlines about last night, and the photos used were all of Chen Rou as she was about to emerge from the tunnel.

The implications of that photograph are self-evident.

However, this whole matter is far from over, because this morning, Huo Qi will call the highest levels of the police force to submit a report on his suspicion that Lin Sir and Sir James, representing the Military Intelligence Bureau, are the masterminds behind Cheung Tze-keung. He will also strongly demand that the police conduct a thorough investigation immediately.

He also plans to hold a press conference to reveal some of the evidence to the media. His only demand is that the Hong Kong police publicly question the military about why there is an intelligence station inside a military base, and how many incidents in Hong Kong's 100-year history have involved the Military Intelligence Bureau.

In short, Hong Kong is currently considered one of the most turbulent cities in the world. What are the root causes of this, and is the Military Intelligence Bureau (MIB) involved in fueling the unrest?

This alone is enough to give both the military and the police a major headache.

However, Colonel Lango is not stupid. He will inevitably suspect that Nie Zhao is backing Huo Qi.

Meanwhile, Master Er and Master Dong were about to step forward and smear the Four Seas Gang.

They would be lying through their teeth, after all, compared to the gangs in Hong Kong, the gangs in Taiwan are nothing.

Especially the Four Seas Gang, they're just a bunch of scoundrels who try to look like the Japanese Yamaguchi-gumi, wearing black suits and sunglasses, pretending to be human. How did they manage to get into the Tamar military base and even storm into the dormitory building?

Besides, an explosion that fills the entire floor requires someone with expertise in explosives to carry out.

Do you think those petty bastards from the Four Seas Gang could handle a bomb?

So Colonel Rango wouldn't believe it, but whether he believed it or not didn't matter, because the public would believe it.

As an army, especially one about to leave, they should have refrained from being arrogant. However, after that classic "Guns and Roses" appeared in Hong Kong newspapers and was reprinted throughout Asia, it was hard to say how much public resistance and anger it would provoke.

Colonel Rango would be angry, but at most he could only yell a couple of times in his office.

Because Chen Rou had taken all the risks alone last night, there was only one path left for him: a dead end.

...

Nie Zhao opened the door as quietly as possible and tiptoed in, but Chen Rou woke up immediately as soon as he entered the bedroom.

Boss Nie doesn't smell bad; he takes good care of himself and doesn't stink. But he does smell fishy.

He hadn't slept all night and had been caught in the rain; he looked as fishy as a dead fish.

He always had a regular schedule, but when he stayed up late, his eyes would lose their light, and his face would look tired and frightened.

Of course, Chen Rou knew what he wanted and how to appease him.

Ah Yuan was still asleep, so she gently lifted the pillow and took out the things, then tiptoed outside.

She sat down on the sofa, placed the items on the coffee table, turned on the light, and gestured for Boss Nie to sit down and look at them.

But Nie Zhao did not sit down. Instead, he habitually bent his knees and knelt on the ground.

Because it was just a palm-sized thing wrapped in tape, Nie Zhao was stunned for a moment. He even found it a bit funny, because what could such a small thing be, and could it really be able to punish him?

Of course, crucial evidence doesn't necessarily have to be large, but it must be effective.

After removing the outer tape, Nie Zhao picked up a box about the size of a matchbox: "A pinhole videotape?"

Chen Rou gently unfolded another check: "And this one."

He unfolded another photo: "And this one too."

Nie Zhao closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. Since he had no means to play the video, he first opened the box containing the hidden camera tape, pulled out the film, and held it up to the light: "It was actually a video of me negotiating a deal with the Russians that was secretly filmed?"

He paused and then said, "Could it have been those Kippurers who did it? Did they secretly film me while they were making the deal?"

Meanwhile, Nie Zhao had been reflecting on a question: why did he hire such a strong security team, and why did Song Yuanchao sacrifice almost all of his personal time to be in charge of his security for the first eight years?

With him and Chen Rou, Nie Zhao's security level was comparable to that of the US president and even the Queen of England.

But the Military Intelligence Bureau actually got hold of the evidence of his dealings with the mainland.

He certainly suspected his own bodyguards, and privately had Wade investigate them one by one, over and over again.

Sam had a metal skull implanted due to a brain injury and had retired to live a quiet life at home. However, Nie Zhao was still worried about him and even sent Wade to Texas to anonymously search Sam's trash can to see if he was the one who did it. Nie Zhao agreed to let him come back so that he could keep him by his side for investigation.

Of course, he also suspected that the ICPO members who had served in the Philippines had told Commander Wang to investigate them one by one until they found the leaker.

Of course, although this evidence is not much, it is enough to prove Nie Zhao's innocence.
