It's hard to sway the principles of someone like Chen Ke because he firmly believes in the rules, adheres to them, and shows absolutely no leniency.
But Yue Zhongqi is different. His bottom line is particularly flexible. Perhaps because of this, in the pirate extermination mission in his previous life, he was one of the few who survived and was able to pass on his experience to her.
If Chen Rou were to talk to Chen Ke about releasing prisoners of war, he would not only refuse, but might also launch into a long lecture.
But after thinking it over, Yue Zhongqi immediately said, "We were almost wiped out by pirates as passing merchants. Fortunately, Mr. Nie's bodyguards came to our aid and saved us. Since we have prisoners, it should be Mrs. Nie who handles them."
Song Yuanchao, unable to wait any longer, started calling out, "Miss Chen?"
Chen Rou reached out her hand: "Then I'll wait patiently for good news?"
Yue Zhongqi stepped forward, shook hands, and then pointed: "Wait for my good news."
Chen Rou didn't use the rope ladder, but instead used the rope that was attached to the side. She pulled herself up and jumped down, then pushed off the side of the boat. Song Yuanchao craned his neck and watched her fall back to his side, then silently drove the speedboat.
Chen Rou found it a bit strange: "Brother Song, you don't seem very happy today?"
More than just unhappy, Song Yuanchao also felt inexplicably wronged, lost, and sad.
A boat packed with people like sardines was about to be sunk by them, and they also saw their long-lost comrades. Logically speaking, Song Yuanchao should not only be happy, but also excited. However, in reality, Sam and Ram were happier than him. He had always thought that he was a special existence as a thorn in Boss Nie's side, but today he realized that, not to mention Chen Ke, there seemed to be a tacit understanding between Yue Zhongqi and Miss Chen.
As for what kind of tacit understanding we have, it's like that of comrades-in-arms, able to stand shoulder to shoulder, share life and death, and advance and retreat together.
However, he couldn't show his frustration, so Song Yuanchao said, "How could that be? I'm actually very happy."
They were already back on the big ship when they started talking. The international police were still sinking the ship and would arrive a little later, but Boss Nie was tired and hungry, so he had to go back and get some takeout to eat and rest for a bit before waiting to receive the international police's cargo.
The small wooden chair with its peeling paint was still uncomfortable to sit on, even though Song Yuanchao had spread his suit jacket on it. But Boss Nie watched his wife enter the cabin until she sat down next to him, then smiled and said, "Happy, aren't you?"
Chen Rou hooked her little finger around the man's and tugged at it: "Happy!"
The last time she pulled his finger like that was on Lantau Island. She pulled his finger like she was teasing a child, and he was happy for many days. He kept wondering why she suddenly pulled his finger. Later, he realized that she had just facilitated the cooperation between Mr. Er and Mr. Dong, and he was especially happy.
Today was no different; she saw her long-lost father and was very happy.
And to express happiness, you pull his little finger.
Mr. Nie didn't know if Miss Chen had ever pulled someone's little finger like that.
But if it were possible, if money could buy it, he would have his bodyguards cut off all those people's little fingers.
He wouldn't allow anyone else to have received the same treatment as him.
