A-Yuan was startled by his father and turned to crawl into his mother's arms, crying out, "Mang Mang, ouch~"
Not only did Dad take away half of his knife, but he also acted fiercely. A-Yuan was very scared and needed Mom's comfort.
But Nie Zhao was actually more afraid, because on the way back from the airport after returning to Hong Kong, all of his bodyguards, except for Song Yuanchao who didn't go with him, Hank and Sam, and the three Russians, had been drugged.
If they really couldn't get it out, they even teamed up, one holding the other, and the three of them worked together to try to pull it out, using various angles and forces.
Because it's unclear in the US, but in Russia's home country, top agents are also equipped with such special daggers, and only they can draw them. Unfortunately, Russia's rank isn't high enough to have ever obtained such a knife.
But he wanted to try it, so he kept pulling and pulling.
As a result, even the Russian guy couldn't pull out the knife, but a little kid who hasn't even grown teeth yet pulled it out?
Nie Zhao was stunned for a long time, but didn't know what to say.
After finding his mother's protection, A Yuan pretended to cry while nestled in her arms, pointing at the knife in Nie Zhao's hand and making two loud noises, saying: "I want it."
But what surprised Nie Zhao the most was Chen Rou.
She looked at the scabbard, then at the knife, and examined them closely together.
She said, "This is an immortal bird! No way, Mr. Nie, you're coming to the capital, and the reception is so high-level?"
The Phoenix, that's the nickname for this knife. It seems his wife recognizes it too, but Nie Zhao won't give it to her.
He said, "Let the servants carry A-Yuan out first. This is a knife; it's too dangerous for him. Be careful not to cut him."
This guy is really something else; he's an absolute idiot when it comes to weapons.
Chen Rou snatched the knife away and said, "It's a new knife, it hasn't been sharpened. It can't even hurt tofu, let alone hurt a person."
Nie Zhao finally realized what was happening. He reached out and touched it, and sure enough, it was blunt on both sides. The knife hadn't been sharpened or polished, so it couldn't hurt anyone. He then returned the knife to Chen Rou and explained, "It was a gift from a client."
Nie Zhao made the right choice in getting this knife, because his wife indeed liked it.
She took the knife handle from A Yuan and put it back in, smiling as she said, "It seems your client has a very good impression of you, because this kind of knife is particularly precious. Even among our group of high-ranking officials, not everyone has one."
She then took out the knife and examined it closely, saying, "It is usually given as a gift between heads of state, and used for decoration and display. But in terms of both the strength of the steel and its sharpness, it is the best knife I have ever seen."
She twirled the knife, closed it, and then opened it again, laughing as she said, "Haha, from now on this knife is mine."
Ah Yuan eagerly asked for it, so she gave it to him, then pulled Nie Zhao close and kissed him: "Thank you!"
Nie Zhao had never seen Chen Rou show such joy when faced with any jewelry or clothing.
She doesn't wear makeup at home; her skin is fair and clear, with a healthy blush on her cheeks.
He couldn't help but wonder what it would be like if she were wearing heavy makeup and standing in a bar in Victoria Harbour.
He looked down, and his son pulled out a knife and licked it with his tongue.
Even if a knife isn't sharpened, it still has edges and corners, and it wouldn't be good if it poked a child.
Chen Rou quickly said, "You can't lick it, and you can't open it again. Just hold it in your hand and play with it."
Nie Zhao suspected that there might be some kind of mechanism that made the knife possible to be pulled out. He took it while wiping his drool and tried to pull it out. Well, as expected, he still couldn't pull it out. So, of the three family members, only he couldn't pull out the knife.
Furthermore, since even Chen Rou said that this knife is particularly valuable, and she drew it so skillfully, then in her past life, was she also one of the top soldiers on the mainland?
That would have been such a glorious thing, yet she never mentioned it to him.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and so it was true for A-Yuan. He loved the gift his father brought him. He wanted to be held while nursing and even after he got into his crib. In the end, Nie Zhao pulled him away from his arms only after he fell asleep.
The couple lay down on the bed. Although Nie Zhao already knew from the newspapers about the police station's misdeeds during his business trip and his wife's counterattack, he still had to talk about why he went to Victoria Harbour, why he chose movie star Brother Liang to support him, and why she put on that show last night.
Then Nie Zhao realized that his wife's thinking was indeed far-sighted.
First of all, although Cheung Tze-keung is famous in Hong Kong, he is only moderately famous in mainland China.
However, due to various gangster movies, Brother Leung himself was unaware that he was incredibly famous in mainland China.
Only by appearing alongside him could Cheung Tze-keung gain media coverage and be reported in mainland China.
So when Chen Ke and his men catch him, it will naturally cause a sensation on the mainland.
This was a small selfish thought of Chen Rou's, because whether it was her father or Yue Zhongqi, they did the hardest and most dangerous work, but the honors and benefits they received were far less than those of those who sat in offices in the capital.
She hoped that Zhang Ziqiang and Chen Ke would gain greater recognition and attention from the public and the military.
Then there was last night. Instead of waiting for Cheung Tze-keung to come out on his own, she decided to seduce him. Now, after the search for the gun, the citizens of Kowloon have started to keep an eye on Cheung Tze-keung, especially the paparazzi, who stay up all night and wander the streets.
Who knows, you might run into Cheung Tze-keung, take a couple of photos, send them to the newspaper, and make a fortune?
But the more she does this, the more the police superiors will forbid Cheung Tze-keung from coming out again. However, Chen Rou will gradually increase the provocations she gives Cheung Tze-keung. After she exposes the corrupt officials in the police station, she will provoke him again, causing him to break out during his bail period. At that time, Chen Rou will send him back to the mainland and end his kidnapping life.
