The departure whistle has been sounding for a long time and hasn't finished yet.
Inspector Huo had already spotted the ship; it was a sand-carrying vessel belonging to the Nie Group's sand company. The Nie Group's sand quarries were always located near the high seas, meaning that even if someone committed murder and disposed of a body there, no one could do anything about it.
The ship wasn't far away; people could be seen standing on the deck. Officer Huo only needed to raise his binoculars to clearly see the ship's number, and with one more phone call, the maritime police could intercept it in advance and thoroughly investigate the people on board.
But Huo Sir didn't dare to raise his binoculars because Chen Rou was running towards him, while Nie Zhao was running behind her with his arms outstretched.
He put down his binoculars, jumped off the motorcycle, and ran towards Chen Rou, waving his hand: "I didn't do anything."
However, he was no pushover either. His eyes darted around and he asked, "Mrs. Nie, why are you in such a hurry to pursue me? Is there something you need?"
Chen Rou ran only a few hundred meters without even taking a breath.
Looking out to sea, the sand-carrying ship was leaving the shore, and her big fight with Nie Zhao was indeed a bit too obvious. What should she say now?
But Chen Rou can also be unreasonable, because Huo Sir is too stubborn. She had just gone to great lengths to help him get promoted not long ago, but he was still obsessively looking for faults with Nie Zhao. He was the one who was wrong.
Since he was so unreasonable, she decided to resort to sophistry: "Don't you know why I'm in such a hurry?"
Mr. Fok had some suspicions, so he said indirectly, "Ms. Chen, Hong Kong is still managed by the British Royal Police. No other country or individual should interfere in Hong Kong's security issues. I think you understand that."
Chen Rou said, "But as a police officer, you deliberately hit my husband and tried to run away. Was what you did right?"
Huo Sir was stunned by her words and shrugged, saying, "I didn't hit him."
Nie Zhao arrived as well. At this moment, he only wanted to go along with his wife and also wanted to teach Huo Sir a lesson, so he immediately chimed in, "I did bump into him, but I managed to avoid it."
Chen Rou crossed her arms: "Even if it was unsuccessful, you still hit someone, and you didn't even apologize before trying to run away?"
Nie Zhao also said, "Yes, Officer Huo, you should at least apologize to me."
This is called double-crossing. Huo Qi himself was using underhanded tactics, and the other party retaliated with underhanded tactics. He really couldn't say anything, so he could only lower his head and say, "Okay, I apologize, Chairman Nie, I'm sorry."
Nie Zhao didn't really care about him and came over to help his wife: "Let's go, let's go to the hospital."
Chen Rou was being supported by him, but she felt uncomfortable because of the heat, so she pulled away. Of course, she was also concerned about her health, so she asked, "Have the blood test results come out yet? My body should be fine, right?"
This matter needs to be discussed once we're in the car, because Nie Zhao doesn't yet know his wife's attitude towards the pregnancy.
He turned back and hurriedly said goodbye to Huo Qi. He then gently helped his wife into the passenger seat, and took over the driving. He took a deep breath, then another, and another, until Chen Rou asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Nie Zhao blurted out, "You're pregnant."
Before Chen Rou could speak again, he raised both hands and said, "Of course, it's better for the children to be raised by themselves."
This was a complete shock to Chen Rou. She frowned and was about to speak when Nie Zhao continued, "So I will learn how to raise a baby to ensure that the child is not left in the care of a maid, and I will also try my best to ensure that the child's existence does not affect your life. So... if you need any conditions in exchange, please make your request. I will give you a blank contract, sign my name, and you can write everything. But... give birth to him!"
...
Hearing that I was pregnant with a baby inside me felt incredibly magical.
Whether it's a boy or a girl, how old are they now? Can they hear her and Nie Zhao talking?
Chen Rou's initial reaction to having a child was definitely one of rejection. It wasn't because of concerns about her body shape or being burdened by a child; rather, she felt that she wasn't good enough to be a parent, and she feared she wouldn't be able to support a child.
Just then, Nie Zhao said something that resonated with her: "You ran too fast just now, which is very dangerous for the baby. I'll call now to schedule an ultrasound and have the doctor check if the baby is still there."
Chen Rou glanced at the dashboard: "Boss Nie, this is the fast lane, you're going 20 km/h."
He was on the ring road, cars whizzing by, but he was crawling like a snail.
After discovering his wife was pregnant, Nie Zhao tried to show his manly side, saying, "You're pregnant, you have to be gentle and slow, otherwise..."
Chen Rou nodded: "Then you drive slowly, I'll take a nap first."
She was actually being sarcastic, but Nie Zhao not only didn't get it, but also said, "Sleeping is good, you need to rest now."
Chen Rou couldn't accept the news for a while, and secretly thought that if the child was really so fragile that it would fall off if it ran around, it would probably be gone by now, and she would still be the same person, with no change in her life.
Feeling conflicted, she didn't bother arguing with Nie Zhao and simply closed her eyes.
But as soon as she closed her eyes, she suddenly thought of a case—a hostage case she had rescued from northern Myanmar. A female hostage was pregnant with an unknown father's child. On the way home with Chen Rou, the hostage had told her that she had tried to abort the child by jumping from the third floor, taking excessive amounts of cephalosporins, buying abortion pills, and even drinking water infused with cigarette butts, but she still couldn't get rid of the child.
Of course, it was the product of coercion, so the first thing the female hostage had to do after returning home was to have surgery.
