Boss Nie cannot afford to provoke drug dealers; otherwise, his business will flourish everywhere, and any retaliation from them could cause enormous losses to the Nie family.
Deep down, he didn't want Chen Rou to provoke drug dealers.
After all, there would be no killing without buying and selling, and the drug trade will exist as long as there is demand.
However, he did not object to this matter. In fact, when communicating with the mainland, he specifically asked a lot about the current distribution of drug traffickers on the high seas, as well as their respective territories and armed strength.
Then I realized that it was no wonder Chen Rou was in a hurry.
Almost all of Taiwan and the mainland have been trying to break the ice by attracting investment. Drugs are not like other businesses, which at least require a period of negotiation and implementation. They are like locusts. There was originally a large net that completely isolated them from the mainland, but now, with the sudden removal of that net, the locusts have swarmed in and covered the sky.
Another problem is that the mainland's military and police have absolutely no experience in drug enforcement.
It was as if Boss Nie was being pinned down by his wife in bed, and when she took the initiative and demanded it, all his feelings were unlike anything he had ever experienced in any novel, movie, or even in any imagination he had ever had.
Their inspection methods are stuck decades in the past. They don't even know mules exist. Faced with the massive influx of people into and out of various seaports every day, they don't even have X-ray machines or police dogs.
So it was like a raging torrent, a flood of rivers, its market was so vast and its people so foolish, it caused a sensation throughout Southeast Asia.
It just so happens that even though Gui Tou Chang had American satellite positioning and advanced weapons, he was forced to leave the Philippines and fled to Taiwan. He then coincidentally reached an agreement with the Bamboo Union gang, and they decided to join forces for a big heist.
Nie Zhao added, "The trigger for this is that Li Xia's cousin, Li Gang, brought a newspaper with your photo to Taiwan Island, where Gui Tou Chang happened to see it. Enraged, he increased the reward. You shouldn't go to Kowloon for the time being; even if you stay home, be careful."
Although the Nie family has plenty of security personnel, Chen Rou doesn't like to bring bodyguards when she goes out.
With such a high bounty, and Hong Kong being a place one can freely enter and exit, what if some greedy person, willing to risk their life, secretly comes to take her life? Even if they can't kill her, what if they hurt her?
There was a heavy sound on the phone, along with a crackling electrical noise, and the signal wasn't very stable. Chen Rou asked, "Where are you? At the company? Why is the phone signal so bad?"
Nie Zhao looked around and said, "I'm at the mine. I'm sorry, I probably won't be able to go back tonight."
The mine is actually located in a reef area. In order to protect the environment, they extract sea sand there and carry out a strict sand washing process before transporting the sand to Hong Kong for building construction.
Hong Kong has no river sand, so it can only wash sea sand to build buildings. However, if the process is not done properly and the sand is not washed clean, the foundation of the building will be completely corroded over time. In the future, there will be a large number of dangerous buildings in Hong Kong built with sea sand, which were built during the crazy expansion of the real estate market in recent years.
It's normal for the signal to be bad when he's at sea, but Chen Rou thought for a moment and asked, "Is there a cell tower over there?"
Boss Nie looked up and said, "I'm right under the cell tower."
Fearing a poor phone signal, he stood at the foot of the tower to make the call.
Chen Rou said, "How about this, you go a little further away, and then call me back."
Nie Zhao sensed something was off about his wife's tone, but he only said, "Okay."
He originally only carried one phone, but nowadays, mobile phones take two hours to charge and only last for five minutes, so he has to carry several. At this moment, he is on a deserted island with only one cell tower.
He jumped off the island onto the boat and gestured to Sam: "Start the boat and get to a spot 500 meters from here."
Sam steered the boat, exactly 500 meters, and turned back: "Alright, boss."
Nie Zhao dialed the number again, and Chen Rou answered. But suddenly said, "You're lying. You're not at sea at all."
She was already out the door when she asked Nie Zhao, "Where are you? Is it the topless nightclub?"
Topless nightclubs are currently the most popular and hottest places in Victoria Harbour. Anyone who wants to enter, regardless of gender, must first take off their top. So despite the high ticket prices, it's extremely difficult to get a ticket to such a place.
Boss Nie was suddenly doused with cold water and was completely stunned.
But after thinking for a moment, he said, "I'll give you the exact address, then you can come find me."
"Where you are now has nothing to do with where you're going later. Anyway, I think you're either at the Wushangzhuang Nightclub or on a date with some girl, humph!"
As Chen Rou spoke, she quickly went down the stairs and went straight into the basement. She saw the bodyguard on duty, patted the Ferrari she had just driven back, and he jogged over to bring her the car keys. She unlocked the car, got in, and stepped on the gas. Chen Rou's car was already heading out the gate.
Nie Zhao called out "hello" a few times, but his wife didn't respond. Just then, another mobile phone rang, so he hung up on this one and picked up the other. Upon hearing the voice on the other end, he immediately switched to Mandarin: "Mr. Yue, I'm waiting for you."
After hanging up, he picked up the phone that Chen Rou had just called, only to find that she had already hung up.
Mr. Nie felt that something was wrong, but of course, his profession was business, not counter-terrorism and anti-violence, so he couldn't guess what it was for a moment. But he still said based on his intuition: "Sam, don't go back to the sand pit, go to the boat."
He switched back to that old-fashioned mobile phone and dialed the same person from before, saying in Mandarin, "Stop the boat and don't come any closer!"
