The dramatic thing about life is that no one can predict what will happen.
So before Chen Rou met Zhang Ziqiang, she never expected that she would have such a chance encounter with the notorious gangster.
Although Nie Zhao lived like a frightened bird every day, he never knew whether an accident or tomorrow would come first.
Nie Han was the same. Although she cried all night recalling the scene of fighting her way out of the Philippines and fighting back to Hong Kong with Song Yuanchao, and thought that she would never see Song again, when she got up the next morning and went out to go downstairs to the restaurant for breakfast, she saw Song Yuanchao and the two Mao brothers standing in the corridor, talking about something.
Actually, she initially mistook him for someone else, because Song Yuanchao was wearing a green short-sleeved T-shirt, the same kind that Nie Yao and Yue Zhongqi wore, but he was wearing the more fashionable work pants that were more popular in Hong Kong.
Nie Han thought she had misread the door and slammed it shut again, but instinctively she knew she hadn't, so she opened it again. Mao Zi Ge and Song Yuan Chao heard the noise and turned around at the same time, asking in unison, "Good morning, Miss."
There was no news from him until yesterday, but he came back to work early this morning?
So he really did go back to his hometown to get married, and he's already married?
Nie Han wanted to ask, but Miss Cai happened to open the door and come out: "Hi, Han."
He took her hand and said, "Let's go to my room. I've ordered breakfast there."
Ever since it was confirmed that her brother was coming back, Miss Cai seemed like a completely different person. Suddenly, she became kind and considerate, even ordering breakfast for Nie Han in advance. Not wanting to ask, she went to Miss Cai's bedroom.
Song Yuanchao was supposed to undergo three months of intensive training, and the people he sent to the Nie family would, according to the leadership's wishes, be directly parachuted in as the chief detective to take over the arrogant Royal Police officers in Hong Kong after their return.
The leaders felt that they couldn't handle him given his cunning, so they wanted to replace him with someone more clever.
But things are unpredictable, and plans are subject to change. Last night, Nie Zhao personally called Commander Wang, explaining his predicament and pleading with him to send Song Yuanchao over. Since the big boss personally wanted someone, Commander Wang had no choice but to transfer him overnight.
Of course, Song Yuanchao himself was unaware of just how outstanding his position was.
But for the safety of his godson's or goddaughter's father, Song Zai still did his best.
Last night, Maozi had already extracted all the fingerprints and lip prints. Hank came over this morning and also brought over all the fingerprints and lip prints that Song Yuanchao had collected, as well as those of Yu Zhengrong, their two sons, and Yu Heng.
Let's do a comparison test to see if the person tailing Nie Zhao is from the Yu Heng family.
But after comparison, Song Yuanchao shook his head: "It's not Yu Heng, nor his two grandsons. It seems to be an outsider."
Maozi said, "Hiring a hitman in Hong Kong isn't a difficult thing."
However, Song Yuanchao said, "No, there is a 70% chance that they are from the mainland, and another 30% are from Southeast Asia."
In Hong Kong's underworld, even the most respectable gangsters have to pay homage to Master Dong and Master Er. As for Nie Zhao and his wife, they've warned that no one is allowed to touch them. Anyone who dares to do so will not only face death, but their family will also be unable to stay in Hong Kong.
Therefore, if Yu Heng wanted to hire someone, he could only hire newcomers from the mainland or assassins from Southeast Asia.
Song Yuanchao's immediate priority was to find the person, so he took the evidence to the police station.
First, compare the fingerprints with those in the Public Security Bureau's existing fingerprint database. If he really was a killer from the mainland, his fingerprints should be in the Public Security Bureau's database. And right now, that possibility is quite high, because Song Yuanchao hadn't been back to the mainland for several years. After he returned, he heard about several cases of his comrades who, after being demobilized, might have crossed the legal line for various reasons.
Furthermore, the only notorious gangster in Hong Kong who could rival Cheung Tze-keung was the one who retired from the mainland and went there.
He had a gut feeling that this time he would likely be facing his former comrades-in-arms.
That feeling was definitely not good, but the work still had to be done.
On the other side, facing the rising sun, Nie Zhao was jogging with his wife, with Hank and Sam following behind them.
Chen Rou has a special fondness for roadside stalls. After hearing that Sam was allergic to peanut soup, she found a breakfast stall and ordered a bowl of peanut soup for herself, Nie Zhao, and Hank. Sam accompanied her to get the food.
Hank took a moment to report on last night's events: "Inspector Yu said it was possible, but also said..."
Seeing his hesitation, Nie Zhao asked, "What did you say?"
Hank shrugged, looking embarrassed: "He said that what you buried with your own hands was not only Detective Yu's life, but also the future of Hong Kong, and the meaning of his life is because you are still alive."
Although Yu Zhengrong was greedy, Hong Kong's public security was quite good during his tenure as chief detective. The chaos was mainly in Kowloon. From the outside world and the West's perspective, there was only one reason for this: the people living there were all lowly and ignorant.
On the contrary, in the past two years, robberies have occurred frequently in Central, and armored trucks have been hijacked on a regular basis.
Western media outlets have also been unanimously pessimistic about Hong Kong's prospects after its return to China.
Others may be able to let it go, and the sheriff can be replaced, but Yu Heng knows best how Nie Zhao instructed his bodyguard to kill Yu Zhengrong in public, right before his eyes.
In Yu Heng's view, no police officer is without corruption, and compared to other officers, his son is the most outstanding.
He could back down and not lay a hand on Chen Rou and the children to protect his two grandsons, but he had to kill Nie Zhao.
Seeing that the boss was sweating, Hank handed him a white towel at the right time.
Nie Zhao took the towel to wipe his forehead, saw his wife smiling and waving, and nodded.
