Wang Baodao was incredibly lucky; the knife missed a vital spot, and after the stitches were done, he only needed to rest.
He was originally focused on watching TV, enjoying the juicy gossip about Chen Rou that the white police officer had revealed, but when he turned his head and saw Chen Rou, he changed his address and said affectionately, "Sister Rou, you're here."
Hu Yong is on duty tonight. Since he belongs to the investigation department, Sun Dahe, who works as a mobile unit in the Kowloon Major Crimes Unit, is in the ward. He is old and embarrassed to call out to him, so he smiled and reached out his hand: "Arou, it's so late, why did you have to make an extra trip?"
Chen Rou looked confused. These seniors used to call her Mrs. Niu, how come they suddenly called her Sweetie?
What's going on with them? Why did they all suddenly change how they address her?
She's the wife of the Nie family from Hong Kong. They used to call her Mrs. Nie. Why did they suddenly change their address tonight?
Oh right, she hasn't watched TV yet. A few young men glanced at the TV and then at her. Hu Yong chuckled, but then looked a little troubled: "Sister Rou, it seems your disguise has been exposed. What should we do?"
Chen Rou looked back at the television. On the screen, the elderly white police officer was speaking eloquently: "I once read a Chinese book called 'The Crabapple Blossoms in Xihua Hall Have Bloomed Again.' Because there was no translated version, I read it word by word using a dictionary. I recommend everyone to read it. For example, Juxiang Study and Xihua Hall—whose residences were they, and what did they mean on the mainland? And the people who worked as guards in Juxiang Study and Xihua Hall—from my perspective, they should be called…"
The host remembered and blurted out, "007, James Bond, right?"
The camera panned to Master Er and Master Dong, both of them looking proud and smug, and giving a thumbs up at the same time.
The director said into his earpiece, "Let's keep talking about this, everyone loves it."
The host then used her limited knowledge to wildly speculate: "So, the female bodyguard of the Nie family must have come from places like Juxiang Study or Xihua Hall. She used to be the No.1 or No.2 bodyguard in the mainland, just like James Bond with the Queen. Am I right?"
Not only did Uncle Er and Uncle Dong nod vigorously, but the white old sir, Mr. James, also nodded. However, such a conjecture was not good for Nie Zhao, because it meant that his relationship with the mainland government was extraordinary.
If the Governor's Office believes this argument to be true, the other party will keep their distance from him.
Chen Rou estimated that the program wouldn't last long, because as long as the Nie Group's board of directors saw it, they would definitely call him, and he would definitely stop the program and suppress the news.
Of course, this is unofficial history, even more unofficial than the 'ditch literature' that will become popular in the future.
Chen Rou herself was stunned. In fact, she had never read "The Begonia Flowers in Xihua Hall Have Bloomed Again." She was even preparing to buy a copy to read. She had never worked as a bodyguard in the inner palace. In the special police force, only Chen Ke had ever done it. He was the only one who could truly be compared to James Bond, 007.
But the camera kept switching scenes, showing Chen Rou's driving skills, leaping off highways, plunging off cliffs, and hanging from cliff faces with one hand. If it weren't for the fact that Chen Rou was a female bodyguard, and the female bodyguard was Chen Rou, she would have believed it.
She was also very interested and wanted to hear the old white police officer reveal some more bombshells that she didn't know.
But soon the reporter looked at the camera and said with a smile, "Dear viewers, grandpas and grandmas, I'm so sorry, due to time constraints, our interview program has to end here. See you again tomorrow night at the same time."
The hospital has more than one ward; there is also a television in the ward opposite Wang Baodao's.
As the saying goes, some are happy while others are sad. A group of special police officers breathed a sigh of relief after watching the program end, but screams and roars came from the ward across the street: "It was Nie Zhao who did it. This is the power of capital."
A moment later, someone chimed in, "Calm down, it's normal for Monopoly to suppress news."
The news was suppressed by Nie Zhao, who said that the Imperial Palace had given him bodyguards. That would have had a huge impact, so it couldn't be spread like wildfire.
It's normal for Hong Kong citizens to believe it; after all, the more outlandish the rumors, the more people love to hear them, especially when they involve wealthy people. But it's one thing for outsiders to believe it, but what Chen Rou found unsettling was that Wang Baodao and his group seemed to believe it too, and they believed it very sincerely.
After the program ended, she turned to look at Wang Baodao, intending to ask about his injuries.
He sat up abruptly and reached out to shake hands: "Sister Rou, no wonder, we're comrades after all."
Hu Yong rubbed his hands together and rushed over to shake Chen Rou's hand: "Can you tell me, Sister Rou, which unit you worked for? I guess it was Xihua Hall. You don't need to answer, just nod."
"This can't be said carelessly," Chen Rou naturally denied, "No."
Sun Dahe used the process of elimination and wanted to try another one, but Chen Rou firmly denied it: "No, I am not."
But as the saying goes, the more you explain, the worse it gets. The group laughed at the same time: "Alright, alright, it involves classified information, we shouldn't ask."
But even though they said they wouldn't ask, they couldn't help but gossip. After all, who wouldn't be curious about a secret agent from the mainland, the mainland secret agent 007?
Wang Baodao asked, "Sister Rou, you're not that old. How old were you when you joined the army?"
Hu Yong said, "Baodao was sent to the army at the age of 14 because he was too naughty. You can't be younger than him, can you?"
When Sun Dahe heard Chen Rou's stomach rumbling, he laughed and said, "We've all eaten, but there's still plenty of food. It might spoil by tomorrow. What would you like to eat? I'll set it out for you."
