However, from Mei Lu's testimony, she discovered that the case was related to Yu Zhengrong, the second sergeant of the Hong Kong Police Force. Of course, Ah Ming could not be allowed to die; he had to live. If the matter were to be brought to the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) or the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) in the future, Ah Ming would be a witness.

So she went into the intensive care unit and instructed Kwong to let Ah Ming continue taking his medication.

It's pitiful to say that Nie Yao really didn't know anything. He was also intelligent and studious from a young age, and even more sunny and cheerful than Nie Zhao. No director in Nie's Company disliked him, and he was the domineering CEO that girls fantasized about.

The poor CEO had been tied up for three or four days, his hands and feet were raw and bleeding. In addition, the Taiwanese boy refused to change his diapers frequently, so his bottom was sore and he had a fever. When he saw Chen Rou come in, he didn't even cry, he just stared at her longingly.

He had always treated the original owner quite well, and was a simple person. It was a pity that he was reborn into the wrong body and had to suffer inhuman torment. Because he had heard Mei Lu's screams and was worried about his mother, he kept making noises towards Chen Rou.

“Miss Chen, let him down and tie him up. I’m afraid he won’t last more than a few days like this,” Kuang said.

This domineering CEO was supposed to be sent to the Philippines to entertain the troops, how could he just die like that?

Chen Rou often feels compassion for people in tragic circumstances, but this does not interfere with her professional judgment. She said, "Ah Ming has no hands or feet, so it will be difficult for him to escape. Nie Yao is different; he has hands and feet. I'm afraid you and Wan Daozai won't be able to handle him."

Nie Yao heard what she said and shook his head repeatedly, promising that he would not run away.

Kwong scratched his head: "But I'm afraid he might die if the infection gets worse, which would be bad for Third Master."

Mei Lu has been locked in the front room. Uncle Ming instructed Ah Hui to give her a sedative injection.

But even without the sedative, Mei Lu wouldn't have run away, because the moment Nie Zhao altered her DNA, she and Nie Yao lost their basic protection. If she left Yanghe, she would only have one option: to be silenced.

But keeping her and Nie Yao alive would be beneficial to Chen Rou's plan to wipe out the pirates.

Thinking of this, she said, "Have Secretary An buy some handcuffs for the deputy policeman, and handcuff Nie Yao to the oxygen tank so he can lie down for a while."

Kwong said, "Okay!"

Chen Rou glanced at Nie Yao, who was crying with tears in his eyes, and then left.

By simply holding him by the handcuffs, he can move around a little, allowing his blood and energy to circulate, thus preventing him from dying too quickly.

...

Nie Rong's surgery lasted for more than three hours and was considered successful. She was then admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit.

Nie Zhao only had a slight fever this time, and his condition did not relapse. However, he slept for a long time, only waking up for a short while at noon the next day. He only drank some ginseng soup that Nie Han brought before falling into a deep sleep again.

Taking this opportunity, Chen Rou also arranged for the bodyguards, Secretary An, and Uncle Ming to take turns getting a good rest.

She took a break and went out alone, hailed a taxi, and strolled around Central for a bit. She even asked the driver to take her to Causeway Bay so she could get a distant view of Kowloon Walled City, the largest slum in Asia at the time, the one with the most triads, the highest crime rate, and the largest slum in Asia that she had only ever seen in movies.

After getting out of the taxi, Lin Hai looked at the lights across the river, smelled the sea breeze mixed with the scents of smoke, gasoline, and perfume, and witnessed firsthand the modern era's streets filled with men with slicked-back hair, women in halter dresses and with big, wavy perms, and the dense neon signs on every building. Chen Rou felt incredibly relaxed and her heart was filled with joy.

However, it wasn't for the prosperity and development of Hong Kong, but rather because she looked across to Kowloon and thought that once she crossed Kowloon and then Lo Wu, she would be in her hometown. Her parents were still alive, and she herself must have just been born. As long as she completed the mission of eliminating the pirates, she could go home. Chen Rou couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

However, when she thought of her own parents, Chen Rou suddenly remembered something else: the original owner's background.

In fact, she heard what Mei Lu shouted before she was knocked unconscious.

Before his death, Mei Baoshan used his severed arm to write about his original background and the word "hatred".

Chen Rou is not the original owner of this body, so she wouldn't be so impulsive as to turn against the Nie family just because she heard the word "hatred".

But she had also thought about this question seriously. She had been too busy these past two days to think about it. Now that she was using the original body, she naturally needed to know what was written on the will that Han Yuzhu had locked in Standard Chartered Bank.

This shouldn't be difficult, because she was eligible to receive the will as early as the day the original owner and Nie Zhao registered their marriage.

Without further ado, Chen Rou took a taxi back to the hospital, found Uncle Ming, and explained her request: what procedures were needed to open the box and take out the will? She wanted to see the will that Han Yuzhu had left her.

Chen Rou thought that since both Nie family members were lying down and unable to make decisions, Uncle Ming would probably decline the matter and wait until they woke up. However, he did not. He took out his mobile phone and said, "I will call my young lady's law firm right now and have them prepare the formalities. You will be able to see the will at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

Chen Rou pointed to Nie Zhao's hospital room: "Uncle Ming, shouldn't you ask your boss for permission first?"

What if the original owner's parents really had a grudge against the Nie family? If Uncle Ming were to produce the will now, wouldn't that only exacerbate the conflict between the two sides?

The call had been connected. Uncle Ming covered the receiver and said to Chen Rou with a smile, "The Chairman and Third Master have both specifically instructed me that you are the only lady of the Nie family now, and I will only listen to your orders in family matters."
