He was quite pleased: "Miss Chen, I think Mr. Dong is a nice person, just a bit short-tempered."
Chen Rou coughed and said, "Let's talk about Master Dong's matter tonight. Let's go to the wine cellar; it's more private and convenient there."
Just then, Nie Han arrived, and Song Yuanchao shut up.
Of course, Nie Han didn't disturb their conversation; she simply placed the tea and snacks on the table and left.
After she left, Chen Rou said, "After you drop Ah Han off tonight, go find Ah Hui and Ah Fa to ask them for some Jeet Kune Do tips. We're about to face Inspector Yu face-to-face. Ram, Sam, and Hank can only be human punching bags, taking hits from Inspector Yu. But you're different. You have a foundation in boxing, so you'll be fighting him."
Jeet Kune Do was founded by Bruce Lee. Because it combines the attack modes of Wing Chun, boxing, and fencing, it is also known as free fighting. The bodyguards of Inspector Yu and the Nie family all practiced Jeet Kune Do.
Although it doesn't have as many variations as Gui Tou Rong's Snake Wing Chun, its attack power is no less than that of Snake Wing Chun without the aid of a gun. Moreover, Yu Zheng Rong is said to have personally consulted Bruce Lee on boxing techniques.
Overall, he can be considered a master in Jeet Kune Do.
If they wanted to take him down, Chen Rou was no match for him in terms of martial arts skills, so they could only let Song Yuanchao train hard.
"Great!" Song Yuanchao picked up the tea, took a sip, and praised, "The tea brewed by Miss is excellent, the flavor is really strong."
Nie Han brewed almost half a pot of top-grade Taiwan high-mountain Tieguanyin for Song Yuanchao; the tea leaves were so plentiful they filled the lid. No wonder it was so strong!
After reaching an agreement with Song Yuanchao, Chen Rou naturally had to consult with Nie Zhao as well. After all, if they really wanted to win over Yu Zhengrong, it wouldn't be enough for her and Song Yuanchao alone; they would also need Wade to make a thorough plan.
She then called Nie Zhao to ask what time he would be back that evening, as she had something important to discuss.
Nie Zhao countered, "What time do you need me to go back? Are you free to have dinner with your boyfriend today?"
Because of his poor health and the recent risk of assassination, he lets Liang Lisheng and the board members handle all social engagements. He doesn't go anywhere except to work overtime at the company. Also, these past few days, he has been calling every night to ask if his boyfriend wants to have dinner with him.
Chen Rou didn't want to admit that he was her 'boyfriend,' so she refused every time.
Nie Zhao was patient; he would never deliberately go upstairs to harass her late at night if she refused.
He seemed polite, but he put Chen Rou in a very passive position. If she deliberately didn't eat with him, it would make her seem petty and afraid of him. But if she ate with him, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting that they were a couple?
She considered it for a moment and said, "We can skip dinner, but we need to meet tonight."
"Okay, should I go to your room, or should you go to my room?" Nie Zhao asked again.
Chen Rou said, "Let's go to your room. It'll be 10 PM. I'll come find you then."
Nie Zhao was at the company, sitting behind his desk, flipping through a newspaper. He stopped and said, "It'll be eleven o'clock. I have some things to take care of, so I'll be back a little late!"
"Then it'll be eleven o'clock, goodbye!" Chen Rou said and hung up the phone.
...
Night fell in the blink of an eye; it was already evening.
At 9:00 PM Hong Kong time, outside the KING bar in Causeway Bay, gossip reporter Ah B, who was staking out to photograph a recent Miss Hong Kong contestant and a wealthy young man, squatted across the street behind a restaurant's garbage bin, sighing as he took pictures: "Damn it, I don't know where Mrs. May has been lately. Nobody has provided any photos, and even if I make up a few stories, nobody seems to believe me. If I don't get some explosive news soon, I'll have to default on my mortgage next month!"
Just then, his mobile phone rang, and Ah B quickly answered: "Uncle Yong, it's been a long time since we last contacted each other. Has Madam Mei come out of seclusion? Is there any exciting news about the Nie family? I urgently need material."
He didn't know what the other person said, but he grabbed his camera and ran off in a flash. He walked along the streets filled with neon lights from bars, and people dancing and singing popular songs like "The Light of Friendship" and "A Real Man." After crossing a red light, he turned into a narrow, dark alley that reeked of urine and called out softly, "Uncle Yong, where are you?"
From deeper in the alley, someone responded: "I'm here."
"You were sent by Madam Mei, right? It's about the explosive news about the third wife of the Nie family, right? Do you have any swimsuit photos? The public loves those. Oh, right, what about the article I wrote the day before yesterday about her mysterious background, like how Chicken (a character from a Chinese folktale) came from a wealthy family? Madam Mei liked it, didn't she?" Ah B asked as they walked.
This Uncle Yong was the one who used to work as a servant in the Nie family. He stood straight in the darkness, without saying a word.
Ah B felt something was off: "Uncle Ah Yong, what's wrong with you? Are you possessed?"
A person stood silently in the dark alley, which was quite frightening. Ah B felt a chill run down his spine and sensed something was wrong. He turned to run, but as soon as he turned, he bumped into a tall, flat chest. The person grabbed the back of Ah B's head and slammed it against his chest twice, making Ah B dizzy and disoriented with his pectoral muscles. Then, he shoved Ah B backward, slamming him against the wall. Before Ah B could react, the person covered Ah B's mouth with one hand and punched Ah B's stomach with the other.
It must be painful enough for a little puppy to be beaten up by a strong man.
But it wasn't just one strong man beating Ah B, it was two. One pressed his neck down with his knee, covered his mouth with one hand, and punched his eyes and nose with the other. In no time, his nose was bleeding profusely and his eyes were bulging out of their sockets.
