Although Chen Rou could have told a white lie to coax Wu Yaozu into doing things for her, she chose to tell the truth: "Wu sir, it involves the damage of radioactive elements to the human body, which cannot be cured now and will not be cured in the future."
A filial son might be a mama's boy and not a good husband, but he will definitely be a good son.
Wu Yaozu is a good son. He can't accept that his mother got sick because of him.
Moreover, he and Yu Zhengrong had a deep partnership, and more than one innocent life had died at his hands. Under these circumstances, it would not be easy to get him to turn against him and become a witness for the prosecution. In addition, he would definitely make many additional demands, such as how much money he would be given, how many doctors he would hire, and sending him and his mother abroad.
The Nie family could fulfill those requests, but Chen Rou didn't want to.
Because handling it that way would drag out the whole process, which isn't her style.
After hearing that even the richest family couldn't cure his mother's illness, Wu Yaozu, who was sobbing, sniffed and said, "Then I'll take my leave of you, Miss Chen. Just pretend I never made this call. Goodbye!"
Chen Rou knew he would say that.
She pressed on, asking, "Have you prepared a burial plot for your mother? The feng shui should be quite good, right?"
Wu Yaozu said, "That's my family matter, Miss Chen doesn't need to worry about it."
“I’m not worried about it, but I dare say that the final burial plot will not be for your mother, but for you!” Chen Rou said.
Wu Yaozu choked for a moment before forcing himself to say, "If you want to kill me, then go ahead and kill me. Since my mother can't be cured, I'm a sinner just by living, so I might as well die."
“You didn’t want to die. Your brother runs a fishing boat at sea. You knew you were being deceived by Inspector Yu, but you didn’t dare to offend him. You just wanted to tell your brother the truth so that the two brothers could run away with your mother,” Chen Rou said.
Wu Yaozu did indeed think that way; of course, that's only human nature.
He wanted to expose Yu Zhengrong as a tainted witness, and given his past offenses, he would be locked up in jail for life.
He's not married and has no children, and his mother is seriously ill. How could he possibly willingly go to jail?
He didn't care that Chen Rou had hit the nail on the head. He said, "Alright, Miss Chen, you don't need to persuade me anymore. Let's stop here."
"You hung up on me and were about to call your brother, right?" Chen Rou asked.
Before he could answer, she continued, "If I'm not mistaken, your brother is the one that Inspector Yu prepared, the child he wanted to send to Master Er and Master Dong to choose as their heir, right?"
Taking a breath, she continued, "Wu Sir, you and Yu Sir committed murder. Your brother was his bargaining chip in his attempt to dominate Kowloon. How could you be so naive as to think he wouldn't be eavesdropping on your conversations?"
Wu Yaozu was currently on the mountaintop, outside Mingde Hospital. He had just received his mother's test results. During this cautious period, he was using a public phone, but if he were to call his younger brother, he would definitely use a mobile phone, which would make him vulnerable to being wiretapped. In that case, he might be silenced before he was even ready to escape.
However, instead of being grateful for Chen Rou's reminder, he was actually glad that he hadn't acted rashly and given himself away. He was only thinking about escaping and was about to hang up the phone when Chen Rou said, "The house can't be converted into cash in the short term, and all your savings have been used to pay for your mother's medical treatment. After escaping Hong Kong, where do you plan to go? The Philippines?"
In this day and age, other island nations are alright, but the Philippines is the most chaotic. People who commit crimes in Hong Kong love to run there the most.
"You knew absolutely nothing about the fact that Inspector Yu has such a deep collaboration with the US military?" Chen Rou asked again.
Wu Yaozu shuddered: "What do you mean, 'Inspector Yu has a partnership with the United States'? How is that possible?"
“Yu Zhengrong is a powerful police chief, and Wu Sir, you are just a little dog he can order around at will. He has cooperation with the military leaders of various countries. It seems that a little dog like you is not even worthy of knowing about it.” After Chen Rou finished speaking, she said, “The Nie family is quite wealthy. As Mrs. Nie, I can promise your mother medical insurance until she passes away. But I need you to stand up and expose Yu Sir as a witness.”
“Ms. Chan, you know too little about the Hong Kong police force and too little about Sir. His father was the former Director of the Political Department, and he himself is good at making connections. Whether it’s the leaders of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau or the Independent Commission Against Corruption, they will all be on his side. There will be many obstacles and hindrances to trying him. Even your Nie family cannot do it,” Wu Yaozu said.
Chen Rou knew perfectly well that Inspector Yu was difficult to interrogate; not only did she know, she also had a perfect plan.
She said, "Then record the conversation first, and then get rid of him. Who do you think would protect a guilty dead man?"
In the judicial system, criminals are convicted before being executed. This is the best approach when the judicial system is well-developed, as it ensures that no one is wrongfully executed or killed, and it is also a reflection of civilization and development.
But Hong Kong is currently in chaos, lacking a judicial system. In extraordinary circumstances, extraordinary measures should be taken: kill him first, then try him. Wouldn't that simplify things?
Wu Yaozu stood in a phone booth by the roadside, making a call on a public phone. Holding the receiver, he was genuinely shocked even though he had long since experienced Chen Rou's ruthless skills.
With a bang, he hung up the phone.
Chen Rou was playing with Zhui Feng in the yard at that moment.
Just then, Wu Yaozu hung up the phone, and Song Yuanchao, who had been staking out Kowloon for a week, returned.
Chen Rou didn't actually see him because she was by the pool in the backyard. To prevent being sniped, the pool was surrounded by a three-meter-high concrete wall, and the path leading to the front yard was also planted with greenery, making it a particularly secluded private space.
