If the gun is to be revealed, Chen Rou must be present and witness the entire process.
But as an ordinary person, she naturally needed a reason to go to the police station. However, on holidays like the Victory Day of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the police did not invite business people in principle. So Chen Rou had to think about how to go.
The documents on her desk were faxed over by Secretary An; they contained the private contact information of all the bigwigs in the police force. After glancing at the mobile phone number of Commissioner Zhang of the Police Department for a moment, Chen Rou dialed it directly from the landline.
The other party answered shortly after, their tone wary: "Who is this?"
Chen Rou patted her chest and deliberately lowered her voice: "Hello, Officer Zhang, I am Nie Zhao's wife, Chen Rou."
There was a full three-second pause on the other end, but immediately, Director Zhang raised his voice: "It's actually Mrs. Nie."
He then said excitedly, "You're calling because of what happened last night, right? I solemnly assure you that you and your family are very safe. The Royal Police are here to protect your safety."
His current position is actually the same as Yu Zhengrong's, except that Yu Zhengrong was in charge of more business and had more power, so everyone was used to calling him Detective No. 1. Director Zhang will have to work hard for a few more years to reach his level.
Chen Rou deliberately lowered her voice and asked again, "Mr. Zhang, is what Next Magazine said true? Zhang Ziqiang really went out on the street, and he was with... Out of a mother's concern for her child, I hope you can send more police cars to the Peak."
It's true that Cheung Tze-keung went out last night, but Chief Inspector Cheung didn't know about it at first because Cheung Tze-keung called Sergeant Liao in Kowloon to have the keys delivered. By the time Chief Inspector Cheung found out, the report was almost published. Late at night, he begged the editor to drop the story, had people teach the paparazzi who took the photos a lesson, and ordered Commissioner Liao of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau to go to Kowloon to silence the people. Only then did he manage to cover up the case.
But his tone was so righteous and stern: "Mrs. Nie, please rest assured, the Royal Police can guarantee your safety."
It seems that, as the media has reported, Mrs. Nie has indeed been neglected by Nie Zhao, and is a naive and innocent girl.
She breathed a sigh of relief: "Then, my safety and my baby's safety are all in your hands."
Because of the excessive expenses and huge debts, and because the white backers who supported them wanted them to make things even bigger, Cheung Tze-keung's next kidnapping target was Nip Sin-yuen, Hong Kong's only billionaire heir.
In other words, this gentle-voiced socialite is about to weep bitterly for the loss of her son and will face a choice: pay 5 billion or watch helplessly as her son is killed.
But despite his thoughts, Director Zhang maintained a smile on his face and said sincerely, "Thank you for your trust, Mrs. Nie. From tonight until Zhang Ziqiang's trial, I will personally patrol the mountain road once a day."
Chen Rou suddenly squeezed him, and Xiao A Yuan was stunned because his mother's tone sounded so sweet. The little guy crawled and crawled until he reached his mother's stool, where he stood up by holding onto her legs. He crawled and crawled until he was on his mother's lap, listening attentively.
Mom said, "That's wonderful, Officer Zhang. I want to present you with a banner; I'll deliver it myself."
The richest man's wife wants to present him with a banner?
With the competition, Detective No. 1, coming out soon, if this gets publicized, wouldn't Zhang Sir be in a much better position?
But he naturally waved his hand and said, "How could I dare to accept that? There are plenty of officers in Hong Kong who are better than me. I can't do that."
Chen Rou smiled and said, "Next Thursday, I will personally go to the police station to present you with a banner."
If she had said September 3rd, Director Zhang would have refused outright, because on that day, the leaders of the inspection team, the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB), and the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) would have gathered together, and a large number of editors and reporters from various newspapers would have been present. Although presenting a banner was a good thing, with so many big shots around, his limelight would have been stolen, and the effect would not have been very good.
But he hadn't even met Mrs. Nie yet, especially since Mrs. Nie was heartbroken when that glamorous female bodyguard rode her motorcycle around Hong Kong every night, making all the men in Hong Kong both love and fear her, and also bewitching Nie Zhao.
Director Zhang not only had to accept her banner, but also had to comfort her and show the gentleness and gentlemanly manners of the Royal Police. Thinking about this, he felt a little smug and said with a smile, "Although, well, okay!"
Good, things are settled, the work is finished, Chen Rou can rest now.
Nie Zhao returned around 6 PM. It was 3 PM, and Chen Rou planned to take A Yuan swimming. Although Nie Zhao had always refused to let the child go into the big pool for fear of him choking on water, Chen Rou had taken A Yuan swimming a few laps yesterday. As a baby, he still had the skills he had learned to swim in the amniotic fluid from birth. The little guy only needed to float on his back and splash around in the water, swimming very well.
She instructed the servants to heat up the swimming pool and prepare sunscreen, then she and A-Yuan were about to change their clothes.
But just as she finished changing her clothes, the phone rang, and it was Uncle Ming who answered.
His voice was deep: "Madam, the master has arrived."
Ah Yuan knew they were going swimming, and he was diligently pulling down his little pants. He pouted his little mouth and made a very clear "Oh!" sound, calling out, "Daddy!"
He had seen a guy called "Dad" every day since he was born, but he had been gone for a long time. A Yuan missed him very much. If Uncle Ming called him "Grandpa," then that was Dad. The little guy had his pants half off, but he missed his dad so much that he crawled on the ground and ran away in a flash.
The maid and nanny were downstairs. When Chen Rou heard that her father-in-law was coming, she naturally had to change out of her swimsuit.
Before today, A Yuan would never go down the stairs, but wanting to see his father was a huge motivation. His mother, being rather carefree, didn't notice. A Yuan turned around and got off one step, looked back, and then turned his back again. There was another step. After going down a few steps, he realized that all the steps were the same. He took one step on each knee, wiggling his half-naked little bottom, and went down the stairs.
