If it's true that Nie Yao was the one who wanted to kill Nie Zhao, then it involves fratricide.
In ordinary families, it's not common for brothers to kill each other in a single move.
However, when it comes to infighting within wealthy families, it's not uncommon for brothers to turn against each other.
Not to mention distant examples, there have been several recent cases in Hong Kong where brothers from wealthy families have turned against each other and even assassinated one another in a struggle for inheritance rights and leadership.
Just like the once richest family in Hong Kong, the shipping magnate Bao family, the reason for their bankruptcy was because the brothers fought over the inheritance, secretly harmed each other, and both suffered losses.
Moreover, the facts are right in front of us. Chen Rou only called Nie Yao to tell him about her return, and Nie Yao only told Mei Lu and Nie Rong. As a result, the secret was leaked, and Nie Zhao was almost blown to pieces. Obviously, even if the murderer was not Nie Yao, he was still involved.
This is a perfect closed loop. The reason Chen Rou called Nie Yao was to dig a pit for him.
He never expected his brother to escape the pirate park alive, nor did he expect Chen Rou to be so fierce, so fierce that she could single-handedly defeat the notorious pirate Gui Tou Chang, who was feared throughout Asia. He also never expected that she called him only because she seemed to trust him, but in reality, she was trying to lure him into revealing his true colors.
Now, Chen Rou has not only returned, but has also found clues to the mastermind behind the scenes. All kinds of evidence indicate that the one who wanted to kill Nie Zhao was his second brother, Nie Yao. So, as a father, how will Nie Rong judge and deal with the situation?
...
Legally, Chen Rou is Nie Rong's daughter-in-law. However, because Nie Zhao did not sign a prenuptial agreement with her, even though they have only been registered for marriage for four days, once Nie Zhao dies, Chen Rou will be his rightful heir.
Now, she is standing on the side of Nie Zhao's wife, and of course she needs a resolution.
Holding the can of Coke, her eyes burning, she stared at Nie Rong, demanding an explanation from him.
Nie Rong was very confident in his second son. After pondering for a while, he firmly shook his head: "Arou, Yao is not only intelligent and quick-witted, but also unlike Zhao, he is not stubborn and cold. His personality is as gentle and easy-going as his brother Zhen. He is a rare good child. There must be something wrong with what happened today. There must be a mole in the Nie family, but it is unlikely that the mole is Yao."
His statement proves that even with the evidence right in front of him, he still doesn't believe his second son is the murderer.
Chen Rou wasn't surprised. After finishing her cola, she habitually crushed the can and smiled, saying, "It's inevitable for parents to be biased, but Chairman Nie, aren't you being a little too biased towards your second master?"
Then he asked in return, "Why?"
Before Nie Rong could answer, she deliberately added, "Just because he's gentle, obedient, and listens to you?"
At this moment, Nie Rong was still able to suppress his dissatisfaction and disgust towards her, but before Nie Rong could defend himself, Chen Rou immediately said, "Chairman Nie, I have often visited your home since I was a child, and I am quite familiar with the Nie family's affairs. As far as I know, in recent years, the Hong Kong headquarters, which your second master is in charge of, has been losing money year after year. It is only thanks to Mr. Nie Zhao's European company that it has been able to keep the books balanced. That's why you can remain the richest man in Hong Kong. Under such circumstances, how can you think that Nie Yao is more outstanding than Nie Zhao!"
Upon hearing this, Nie Rong flew into a rage and said angrily, "Arou, you lost both your parents at a young age and were able to complete your studies thanks to the support of the Nie family. You have also been a part of the Nie family since childhood. How can you say such things so brazenly? I can only say that you are extremely ungrateful and have no regard for the support the Nie family has given you."
Chen Rou tossed the Coke can into the trash can and said in a gentle tone, "I understand. It seems that you, Chairman Nie, believe in the principle that 'only officials are allowed to set fires, while ordinary people are not allowed to light lamps.' You can be biased towards Nie Yao, but I can't say it out loud, right?"
She leaned closer to him, staring intently into his eyes, and said, word by word, "In my opinion, you are biased towards Nie Yao."
Nie Rongteng slapped the back of the chair and said through gritted teeth, "If I really favored A Yao, I would divide the Nie family's wealth into two parts and let the brothers inherit it together, instead of handing over the Nie family's entire power to A Zhao as it is now."
He then countered, "Didn't you read the newspaper? Didn't you know that just half a month ago, in an interview with the Mirror, I clearly stated that I would step down as chairman of the board and hand over the reins to Ah Zhao?"
This means that he not only didn't favor Nie Yao, but actually treated Nie Yao unfairly!
Chen Rou laughed again: "But the reason you handed over the Nie family business to Nie Zhao is because 70% of Nie Zhao's wealth was earned by Mr. Nie Zhao's mother, who is also my mother-in-law, Han Yuzhu?"
Staring at Nie Rong, she asked a question that most people wouldn't dare to ask the chairman of the Nie family, but it was a perfectly reasonable question.
She said, "Since the money was earned by my mother-in-law, shouldn't it be inherited by my husband? What does it have to do with those people who don't want to be associated with my mother-in-law? Or do you think just anyone can inherit it?"
She was actually mocking Nie Yao's background when she said that.
Because Mei Lu secretly gave birth to Nie Yao while living in seclusion abroad, and Nie Yao was already four years old when Han Yuzhu allowed her to enter the family, he was a big boy. In order to save face, he entered the family as a stepson.
It wasn't until after Han Yuzhu's death that Nie Rong wrote Nie Yao into the family genealogy, thus clarifying his true identity.
No matter what, Nie Yao's background was not honorable. Not only did he have an affair with his wife's cousin, but he also secretly had a child with her, which was a stain on Nie Rong's character.
Chen Rou spoke gently, but the topics she discussed were all sarcastic remarks about Nie Rong and his shortcomings.
Nie Rong appeared calm on the surface, but his face was ashen, and his teeth and hands were chattering.
After a long pause, he said again, "Arou, I think you're either out of your mind or confused. Don't forget, Yao's mother is your mother-in-law's cousin. She only came into the family to serve me after your mother-in-law gave her permission. Although Yao was born earlier than Zhao and is my second son, I excluded him from the inheritance because he wasn't born to Yuzhu. Zhao knows this, I know this, and they both know this. Yao isn't that stupid to covet something he knows doesn't belong to him. Yao's mother shouldn't be that stupid either. You can have doubts, but I hope you have evidence. Otherwise, you have ulterior motives and want to cause trouble and ruin our Nie family. I will never let you off easily!"
