Unlike Nie Zhao, who was disliked by his father from a young age and sent to Europe at a young age, Nie Yao, the second master of the Nie family, grew up under the care and expectations of his parents. Because of his intelligence from childhood, Nie Rong even took him with him when he was working.
Although Nie Rong repeatedly declared that Nie Zhao would be the only one to lead the Nie family, making it seem as if he doted on Nie Zhao.
But in reality, the businesses he gave to Nie Zhao were all built by Han Yuzhu, while he left all his own wealth to Nie Yao.
Nie Yao was Nie Rong's pride since childhood. He never lacked love or money. In addition, Nie Rong personally raised and cultivated him. Although he was pampered, he was also very polite. He was a high-quality young master in Hong Kong. At the age of twenty-six or twenty-seven, he never had a single scandal in the glamorous and tempting city of Hong Kong.
Moreover, because he frequently appears in front of the media and is also the president of the Nie Group, Nie Yaocai is the next chairman favored by the Hong Kong media and Nie Group shareholders, compared to the elusive Nie Zhao.
Because all of the Nie family's bodyguards had been withdrawn to the hospital, he only brought one personal bodyguard.
He waved to the media following him, bent down to take his briefcase from the passenger seat, tossed the keys to the doorman, turned and went inside. As he strode forward, he reached out to stop the receptionist who came to guide him.
Chen Rou had just stepped out of the elevator when she ran into him.
Nie Yao stopped first: "Arou?"
Seeing that her hand was wrapped in white gauze, and that she had tucked her briefcase under her arm, and then gestured for the bodyguard to move away, he quickly ran a couple of steps to pull Chen Rou away: "Your hand is injured, how did you get hurt?"
Chen Rou shook off his hand and asked, "The chairman asked you to oversee the company, so why are you at the hospital?"
Nie Rong entrusted Nie Yao with managing the company at a crucial moment for two reasons. Firstly, there was a slight possibility that he suspected his beloved second son might seize power and property, and he wanted to protect his youngest son.
But the bigger reason is love and power.
He ranked his and Nie Zhao's lives after Nie Yao's.
Assuming that neither he nor Nie Zhao will leave the hospital and die there, without a doubt, Nie Yao will automatically become the next chairman of the Nie family, and all of the Nie family's wealth will be under his control.
Nie Yao possessed a casualness rarely seen in ordinary people. He followed behind her and said softly, "My father hasn't been to the company for three days. There are many important matters that I and the uncles on the board of directors can't handle. He has to make the decisions."
"He's upstairs," Chen Rou said, then brushed past him and was about to leave.
But after a moment's hesitation, Nie Yao turned around and followed her, asking closely, "Arou, are you going out? Where are you going? I'll drive you there."
Chen Rou neither agreed nor disagreed, but instead quickened her pace and walked even faster.
As the saying goes, the real intention of the drunkard is not in the wine. If Nie Yao really came to see his father about company matters, he would have gone upstairs long ago. But he did not go upstairs at this moment. Instead, he followed behind her. There is only one reason: his real purpose in coming here is her!
Stepping out of the hospital building, one finds oneself on a bustling street. This is an era of highly developed audio-visual technology, with video cameras in front of every shop, playing music and music videos that Chen Rou is very familiar with.
She strolled leisurely around the hospital, with Nie Yao following behind her. Seeing her looking at a roast meat restaurant across the street, he asked, "Want to eat roast meat? This place is deserted, so the taste must be bad. I'll call you and order Yung Kee."
Chen Rou wasn't so free that she had to specifically request a particular roast meat restaurant.
The reason she observed the roast meat restaurant was because the building it was in was 21 stories high. From its rooftop, if the angle was right and there was a sharpshooter with perfect aim, it would be an excellent sniping spot.
If Chen Rou didn't want Nie Zhao to get shot in the head before he could deal with Mei Baoshan, she had to observe more carefully.
She was too busy to pay attention the past two days, but now that she has observed the situation, she has a better understanding of the assassination and counterattack. All she needs to do is wait for those scum who colluded with the pirates to harm the original owner and Nie Han to come to her door so that she can settle her scores and avenge her wrongs.
After wandering around, she prepared to head back. As she passed a newsstand, her gaze fell upon a copy of the "Mirror Daily." Chen Rou paused for a moment because the front page headline read: "Mainland military leader XXX leads a delegation through Hong Kong to the Philippines for a 12-day joint anti-bandit operation across two locations and three countries."
Chen Rou pulled a newspaper from the rack and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Having served in the military for many years, she naturally has memories of all the major and minor events that have occurred in the army over the years.
She clearly remembered reading in military history that in 1988, her unit and her predecessors had gone to the Philippines to suppress bandits, but the operation failed. However, it was not because they were incompetent that they failed the mission, but because their plane crashed.
The plane they were on was bombed in the waters off Hong Kong.
The plane was full of her predecessors, all of whom perished and were never found.
If the newspapers say that the joint anti-bandit operation by the troops has been launched, does that mean that the plane was not bombed and that all the special forces soldiers who died in the previous life are still alive now?
They have even launched a campaign to suppress bandits?
Combating privately armed pirate groups has always been an international challenge.
With the reform and opening up, more and more people went abroad, which greatly increased the probability of Chinese citizens being kidnapped and trafficked by human traffickers.
Countries around the world fight bandits and even cooperate in bandit suppression. Although Chen Rou did not experience the bandit suppression mission in 1988, she still had a vivid memory of it because of the tragic sacrifices.
She had only focused on escaping and rescuing Nie Zhao, and hadn't thought of or considered the connection.
