Sam was driving, and the car was going very fast, speeding all the way.

He was also the most adapted to the pace of Hong Kong among the three American bodyguards, but after all, he was a foreigner and not as good as the locals in any aspect. Suddenly, he turned around and said in English, "Ms. Chen, Mr. Liang is missing. I lost him."

Nie Zhao was also in the car and commanded Sam in English: "Turn left immediately."

This is a busy downtown area. The light is red, and Sam is in the straight lane, but he immediately turns left onto another road, bypassing the traffic police who are directing traffic. He sees the Nie family's bodyguard car, a Mercedes-Benz van, at the next red light. He accelerates to give chase, but the Mercedes-Benz van runs the red light and speeds away.

What else could Sam do? He floored the gas pedal and sped through the red light, eliciting a chorus of horns behind him.

It's rush hour now, and there are already a lot of cars on the road. With the Bentley and Mercedes vans crowding the area, cars are packed together everywhere in the darkness. Traffic police are busy directing traffic and noting down license plates of violating vehicles while holding walkie-talkies.

Chen Rou held the phone in both hands, with Secretary An on one end and Liang Lisheng on the other.

She yelled at Secretary An, "If you don't understand, ask the Taiwanese guy. I need your location, right now, immediately!"

He yelled at Liang Lisheng again, "If Nie Yao dies today, you'll be the culprit! Slow down!"

He turned back and yelled at Secretary An, "If you don't know, ask Wan Bianzi! Hurry up and ask!"

“It’s me, Wan Daozai. We’re across from the Victoria Hotel. We’re estimated to be five minutes from the West District Cargo Terminal. But Ms. Chen… you bastard, can’t you be polite? Stop hitting people!” Wan Daozai yelled.

Secretary An also cried out, "Second Master, I swear to God, neither the Chairman nor Third Master intended to kill you. Please stop hitting Wan Daozai, and don't open the car door randomly. Don't get out of the car! There are bad people outside! Bad people!"

"Ansen, you sissy, stop the car and let him out! You're so annoying!" the Taiwanese guy yelled.

Because it was on speakerphone, Liang Lisheng on the other phone heard the shouting on this end and knew that Nie Yao was out of control and wanted to get out of the car. He also shouted, "Ah Yao, don't get out of the car! You'll die if you get out!"

Chen Rou's head was throbbing from the noise. She turned off the speakerphone on both phones and turned the volume down. She then instructed Sam in English: "Proceed to the West Wing cargo terminal as planned. Run every red light and drive fast."

The car suddenly jolted; Sam was accelerating.

Chen Rou then looked at Nie Zhao and said, "Nie Yao is even more impulsive than we thought. I don't think he'll make it to the cargo terminal."

Nie Zhao pursed his lips, remained silent for a moment, then grabbed a mobile phone and softly called out, "Uncle Liang?"

The person on the other end didn't speak; there was a deathly silence on the phone.

Nie Zhao continued, "When I had just woken up after the surgery, you specifically told me that as a child from a wealthy family, I couldn't discern the situation and didn't know how to protect myself. It was my own fault that I was kidnapped. Do you remember that?"

There was still no response from the other side, only heavy breathing and the whirring of a car engine.

Nie Zhao continued, "I am, and so is Nie Yao. We have both enjoyed the money and material things that fate has given us, and we have also received the same high-quality educational resources. So we should both bear the consequences of our choices, right?"

Finally, someone spoke up: "Boss, I was wrong. I've already stopped."

Sam spoke at the same time: "Miss Chen, we've caught up with the Mercedes, it's right in front of us."

Nie Zhao handed the mobile phone to Chen Rou and nodded.

At this moment, Nie Yao's fate was essentially decided within the Nie family.

It could also be said that Liang Lisheng was finally persuaded by Nie Zhao to give up rescuing Nie Yao.

After all, Nie Zhao and Nie Yao had the same material resources and the same quality education from childhood. When Nie Zhao was kidnapped to the Philippines, he did not complain or blame anyone. Nie Yao should do the same.

Otherwise, it's just like what Liang Lisheng himself said: others are no good!

...

Here's what happened to Nie Yao.

Today marks the first time he has seen the sun in Yemen, the first time he has seen it since being imprisoned for 23 days.

He was helped into the Rolls-Royce by Secretary An and the Taiwanese man who had been injected with sedatives.

He woke up as they were leaving the parking lot. He was still groggy and confused when he first woke up, so he didn't resist. He sat quietly, letting the reporters take plenty of pictures, and that's how the big fish, Gui Tou Rong, got hooked.

But he recovered after about ten minutes.

Seeing that he wasn't tied up and was on the street, he naturally resisted and tried to escape.

Secretary An was Nie Rong's man. Before they set off, Nie Rong had specifically instructed him to analyze the situation with Nie Yao and persuade him to stay in the Rolls-Royce no matter what and not to get out of the car.

Because that Rolls-Royce was Nie Rong's car, and it had the highest bulletproof level among all the cars in the Nie family.

As long as the central control is locked, even a Barrett can only make a few bullet holes; it can't blow it up.

To protect himself, Nie Zhao must engage in a fierce battle with Gui Tou Rong, while Nie Yao can survive as long as he doesn't get out of the car.

This was his only choice, and also the wisest one.

However, it was clear that although Nie Yao's hands were clean and he had not participated in any crimes, he was not as smart as Nie Rong thought. So, Secretary An tried to persuade him a lot along the way, but he not only refused to listen, but also pushed and hit her, insisting on getting off the car.

They split into two groups. Liang Lisheng drove a Mercedes-Benz van, a bodyguard vehicle, with Hank and Ram in tow.
