If Nie Zhao hadn't just woken up and gently touched Chen Rou, making her realize she was awake and let go, the Taiwanese guy would have definitely gotten a beating today.
But compared to beating up the Taiwanese, Nie Zhao is definitely more important.
So even Song Yuanchao thought that Wan Daozai was bound to get beaten up this time, and was silently praying for him in his heart when Chen Rou surprisingly let go of his hand, shoved Wan Daozai aside, and stepped forward to call out, "Uncle?"
Her soft call was completely different from her usual tone of voice; it was gentle, joyful, and exhilarating.
Song Yuanchao and Wan Daozai both found it a bit cheesy, as did Chen Rou herself. However, it wasn't her intention; rather, it was the lingering consciousness of the original owner that was causing the problem.
The original owner of this body was a gentle and timid girl in her early twenties.
She deeply loves the man in the hospital bed, but deep down she is also a little afraid of him, which makes her feel physically uneasy.
But Chen Rou is different; in both her past and present lives, Nie Zhao has only ever been a person involved in her case.
The case from the previous life is too distant to discuss, but the current case, Nie Zhao, and the information he carries are of paramount importance.
Because he suffered a brain injury and internal bleeding, Chen Rou had been hoping he would wake up, but considering the limited medical resources on the ship, she didn't have much hope that he would wake up. At this moment, it was the most critical stage of her escape journey, so she was naturally overjoyed to see that he had actually woken up.
However, she also acted extremely formally.
She took his hand, changed her tone, and her whole demeanor changed. She said, "Mr. Nie should be awake now, right? Can you hear me?"
The man lying on the hospital bed had just recovered from his fever. His face was sallow, but his eyes were exceptionally bright. In response, he blinked and closed his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but because his voice was too soft, Chen Rou did not hear him.
Of course, he is still very weak, so it is unrealistic for him to think or speak, and Chen Rou has no intention of doing so.
She had already sorted out the key questions, and Nie Zhao only needed to answer yes or no.
She then asked, "Mr. Nie should know who the person who kidnapped us and tried to kill us might be, right?"
Because of a high fever, Nie Zhao's lip membrane had completely burst, and blood seeped out, sticking his lips together. If he wanted to open his mouth, he would first have to open the cracks in his lips. Moreover, when he mentioned this, his breathing became noticeably heavier, clearly indicating that he was very agitated.
He was a patient with intracranial hemorrhage, and such people should avoid getting excited, as it can accelerate the rupture of blood vessels.
Chen Rou quickly said, "You don't need to speak, just blink. If you know, blink once; if you don't know, blink twice."
The future richest man in Hong Kong is still very young, tall, with smooth skin like an olive, and not a single wrinkle at the corner of his eyes.
His consciousness was probably still confused, but his two eyes were as bright, deep, and sharp as jewels.
Chen Rou stared, as did Song Yuanchao and Wan Daozai. Finally, he blinked.
It seems he knows who is trying to harm him.
The emperor wasn't worried, but the eunuch was; a Taiwanese guy leaned over curiously and asked, "Who is it?"
Song Yuanchao grabbed him and dragged him away: "Are you sick? Mr. Nie suffered a brain hemorrhage and is rarely lucid. Don't lead him to think about complicated things. If you want to talk, talk about the key points, understand?"
That's absolutely true.
Chen Rou had a second question: "We're about to return to Hong Kong. If there's one person in the Nie family we can trust, who is it? Your father, mother, the butler, or...?"
You know what, the richest person is different from ordinary people.
This time, Nie Zhao didn't struggle to speak; he simply raised one finger.
This is easy to guess; he believes the only trustworthy person is his father, Nie Rong, the head of the Nie family, No. 1.
Chen Rou is an outsider and doesn't know anything about the Nie family. Nie Han is clueless and naive, and doesn't understand his family's situation either. Now, Chen Rou needs to find someone in the Nie family she can trust.
As for Nie Rong, although she felt that even tigers don't eat their cubs and he couldn't possibly kill his son, if she were Nie Zhao, she also couldn't trust a father who was always criticizing and negating her.
Not knowing what Nie Zhao was thinking, after all, he had suffered a brain hemorrhage, and fearing that he might not have thought things through, Chen Rou said again: "Mr. Nie, please think it over carefully. We are still in great danger. Are you sure you can trust your father?"
As she spoke, she stared intently at Nie Zhao, only to find him also staring straight at her. After a long while, he blinked.
Just then, Kwong rushed in, saying, "Miss Chan, something terrible has happened! A speedboat is coming towards us!"
Chen Rou and Song Yuanchao each grabbed a gun and rushed out. Wan Daozai, still confused, said, "We've already arrived in Hong Kong. It's normal to have speedboats at sea, right?"
Actually, it's not normal to see speedboats at sea right now, because the hospital ship is not currently traveling on a normal route, but in a rocky area, which is very difficult to navigate.
The reason the medical ship was able to sail was because Chen Rou would frequently be carrying out missions in this area in the future. She knew this area very well, but ordinary captains didn't have her experience or her resume. If they wanted to sail their ships into this area, they would be courting death.
Chen Rou wasn't surprised that a speedboat would come.
Since they had been away from the Philippines for a full 24 hours, during those 24 hours, Turtle Head Chang had of course already found out about their requisition of the hospital ship.
He still has people in Hong Kong, and those people are searching all over the Hong Kong waters for this medical ship.
Leaving the Philippines was an escape, but now they need to break through the outer perimeter of Hong Kong and the pirates' encirclement before they can truly be considered to have escaped alive.
...
Song Yuanchao has long legs and runs fast, but he is far less agile than Chen Rou. So by the time he climbed onto the deck, Chen Rou was already using a scope to observe the distance with her AK.
A speedboat did come, but it didn't get close; it just circled around in the distance.
It was clear to the naked eye that there were seven or eight men dressed in black, carrying guns and wearing masks on the speedboat, also looking in this direction.
Song Yuanchao couldn't help but curse: "Damn it, this is Hong Kong, an international metropolis! How can these bandits act so lawlessly that they can openly roam the sea in broad daylight? Where is the rule of law? Where is the law of the land?"
Wan Daozai and Nie Han were too scared to speak. Only Kuang Zai was a little braver. He said, "This is nothing. The real big shots in Kowloon are the triad bosses. Even the police have to salute them when they see them."
Song Yuanchao and Chen Rou had just discussed what to do next and had already formulated a strategic plan, but he was still a little hesitant. So he asked, "Miss Chen, are you sure you want to use your plan?"
Looking around at everyone, I asked on their behalf: "Are you sure your plan will keep everyone safe?"
Chen Rou disliked idle chatter, and given the urgency of the situation, further discussion was pointless. She told Nie Han and Kuang Zai, "You two go into the cabin first and push Mr. Nie out."
