Right in front of the roast meat shop that Chen Rou had just visited, a nearly new old Mercedes-Benz S300 was parked. The driver was standing outside the car, with one hand on the gun at his waist and the other holding binoculars, looking at the tall buildings across the street.
Inside the car, Mei Lu and her younger brother Mei Baoshan sat side by side in the back seat.
There was music in the car; it was a little girl's voice softly singing the Japanese folk song "Hometown".
The children's voices, accompanied by soft music, evoke images of cherry blossom trees, golden straw, and ocean waves, bringing a sense of tranquility.
Mei Baoshan's one hand was in Mei Lu's hand, where she held nail clippers and was carefully trimming his nails. His other hand held a mobile phone, which he was dialing.
After a long silence, he hung up the phone: "Ah Yao isn't answering the phone, and his bodyguard Ah Mang also said he couldn't find him."
Mei Lu paused, "That shouldn't be the case. He was just reporting on company work. The board members sent him. Is that wrong? Besides, he's your nephew. It's only natural for him to speak up for you. Would the master really take his anger out on Yao for the sake of Ah Zhao?"
She choked back tears and said, "I know that my cousin and I are no match for a goose feather, insignificant, but Yao is no worse than Zhao. Grandpa always says he dotes on Yao... But look, when it really comes down to it, Yao is nothing more than a goose feather."
Mei Baoshan put away his mobile phone and said, "We can't delay any longer, I have to go up."
Mei Lu put away the nail clippers, took her younger brother's rough, large hand to her lips, blew away the nail clippings, and then said, "Go."
As Mei Baoshan got out of the car, he straightened his suit, patted the driver, and gestured for him to get in. When he turned around, he saw his sister, Mei Lu, waving at him with a bitter smile. He lowered his eyes, closed the car door, and turned off the warm, soft music inside. His ears were filled with the cries of street vendors, car horns, and other noises from the street.
Looking back at the tall buildings behind him, Mei Baoshan put on his sunglasses, picked up his briefcase, and strode into the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital.
...
Let's get back to Chen Rou.
She showed mercy to Nie Jiayu, but she didn't hold back on Yu Nieyao, beating him into a concussion.
But the gauze on her hand got dirty again and had to be removed.
Her two henchmen were quite well-trained; Wan Daozai was in charge of tying her up, while Kuangzai found gauze to re-bandage her.
The boy was handsome, with fair skin and delicate features. He was quick-witted and nimble-fingered. Chen Rou liked him very much, but she didn't know much about his family. Now that she had some free time, she took the opportunity to ask, "Kwong went home a couple of days ago, right? How is your father?"
The little boy carefully bandaged her wounds, his thick eyelashes fluttering as he parted his lips and said, "She's already passed away."
He added, "My hometown is in Macau. I haven't gone back yet, but when I called, my family said he had already gone."
In fact, Kwong's ancestral home is in the coastal area of mainland China, and his ancestors moved to Macau.
His family's medical skills were also brought from the mainland. In the years when there was no communication between the mainland and Hong Kong and Macau, their family's traditional Chinese medicine practitioners were very popular among the wealthy in Hong Kong and Macau.
Chen Rou asked, "Was it true that Nie Zhao contacted your father about six months ago, and then you were kidnapped, and your father... passed away?"
Kwong sniffed, looked up and said, "During the days you were tied up, he committed suicide by shooting himself!"
Just now, before falling into a deep sleep, Nie Zhao said that he would handle the kidnapping matter, and only told Chen Rou not to be angry, and not to belittle herself because of others' attacks on her.
He had been living in Europe until six months ago, when the Nie family took on the renovation project of Hong Kong Airport and officially returned to work at the Nie family's premises.
Dr. Kwong was Han Yuzhu's family doctor. Nie Zhao visited Dr. Kwong after returning home. Later, Kwong was kidnapped by pirates and taken to the Philippines. Dr. Kwong committed suicide during the period when Nie Zhao was kidnapped. Does this mean that there was something going on with Han Yuzhu's death, and Nie Zhao went to investigate the inside story, while Dr. Kwong committed suicide because he was threatened?
It makes perfect sense to infer from this that Kwong would risk his life to save Nie Zhao in the park.
They were kidnapped by the same group of people, and they fought their way back to Hong Kong to seek revenge, all while targeting the same group of people.
After Kwong finished bandaging her wound, Chan Yau came out of the intensive care unit.
She stopped at the door of Nie Zhao's ward, having already formed a rough judgment in her mind: there was definitely something wrong with Han Yuzhu's death, and Nie Zhao should have had suspicions for a long time as well. However, he was the youngest son, and his only reliable older brother had passed away fifteen years ago. He had been living in Europe for a long time and had neither power nor manpower in Hong Kong, so he couldn't find anything to investigate. It wasn't until six months ago, when he returned to Hong Kong due to the reconstruction of the airport, that he had the opportunity to investigate his mother's death. Of course, even if it was an old case, if it involved a woman with a net worth of billions, then bloodshed and killing would follow.
Thinking of this, Chen Rou couldn't help but worry, fearing that Nie Zhao wouldn't be able to handle the current situation.
But then she thought again that probably wouldn't happen.
After all, when Nie Zhao barely survived and returned to Hong Kong in his previous life, Nie Rong was already dead, and Nie Yao had become the chairman of the board of directors of the Nie Group. Under those circumstances, he finally regained control of the company, and Mei Lu went mad and was admitted to a mental hospital. This shows that he had a backup plan. So Chen Rou had nothing to worry about and could just roll up her sleeves and get to work.
Just as she was about to push open the door, Uncle Ming, the butler, came out of the ward, his brow furrowed in worry: "Sigh!"
Seeing Chen Rou, her eyes lit up again: "Third Aunt, Third Master refuses to take painkillers, why don't you go and persuade him?"
After craniotomy, patients need to be given painkillers for several days, otherwise their heads will feel like they are about to explode. Nie Zhao's current drowsy symptoms are still due to the anesthetic that has not been metabolized after the surgery, but he refuses to continue using anesthetic afterward.
