After all, we're going to someone else's territory, and as the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake.
Besides, Chen Rou, an outsider, was not helping to defuse the conflict between the couple; instead, she was fanning the flames. From a moral standpoint, her actions were not reasonable. Moreover, the second branch of the Wen family was not like the Nie family, willing to push their daughters to the forefront.
The second wife of the Wen family knew that her daughter was more outstanding, but she still suppressed her and promoted her son.
Just now, the steward sent by the second wife of the Wen family came to propose marriage with generous gifts, but Chen Rou dismissed him with a few words.
Bao Yuyan also refused to forgive her husband because of Chen Rou's instigation and provocation. All of this was related to the Nie family.
The second wife of the Wen family also had a fiery temper and was a tough woman with a strong hand, so of course she wanted to teach the Nie family a lesson.
Just then, Nie Zhao was about to board the yacht when Secretary An handed him a cell phone: "The sand plant is calling."
The sand plant was managed by Liang Sihan. Sand washing was only a small part of its business; its main business was minerals from the Philippines.
Cargo ships traveling between the Philippines and Hong Kong pass through the Australian waters, and it would be most convenient for the Wen family to use cargo ships to cause trouble if they wanted to. So when Nie Zhao answered the phone, he asked Liang Sihan, "Has something happened in the Australian waters?"
Liang Sihan said, "According to the captain, a group of Portuguese police stopped them and are now determined to board the ship."
Nie Zhao asked, "Have you prepared the petrol bombs? Do you have enough food and water?"
Liang Sihan choked for a moment before saying, "We have petrol bombs, but water and food are not available because the journey only lasts a few hours..."
Nie Zhao immediately started cursing: "Idiot, if you keep doing this, I'll find someone else to do it."
It's only a few hours' journey, but what if there's an accident along the way? Food and water are essential.
Liang Sihan, that idiot, didn't prepare food for the ship. Now he's got something to choke him.
After hanging up the phone, Nie Zhao said to Secretary An, "Find someone to send food and water to the ship in Aohai, then call the police and say that we have encountered pirates and request the Hong Kong police to provide assistance."
Ships from the Philippines are filled with gold and jewels, so the captain certainly wouldn't allow the Portuguese police from Macau to board.
In the event of a conflict, they would make bombs by filling beer bottles with gasoline, forcing the Portuguese police to stay away.
If the Nie family doesn't want to escalate the situation, Nie Zhao should have Chen Rou personally step in and pressure Bao Yuyan to sign a letter of understanding for her husband at the police station and get him released from custody.
If the Second Young Master is released, the Second Wife will inform the Portuguese police, who will then step aside and let the Nie family's boat leave.
But Chen Rou would not back down, so Nie Zhao could only let the cargo ship hold out for now.
It's like two people fighting; you're pulling my ear, I'm pulling your hair, and neither of us can give way.
However, the conflict could escalate at any time, with Portuguese police attacking the ship and crew members throwing petrol bombs.
The battle between dragons and tigers over the red spider lilies is a fierce contest; it all comes down to who is more ruthless.
Despite the business disputes, Nie Zhao was actually in a pretty good mood, even though he was yelling at people.
It was rare for his wife and son to accompany him on this trip; he had been exhausted for a long time, so he treated it as a vacation.
As soon as Nie Zhao boarded the yacht and saw his son, his mood improved even more.
The little one grows up so fast! Nie Zhao still remembers when the midwife handed him the baby in swaddling clothes, the baby was only the size of his two palms. Today, he's even wearing a suit, with his hands in his pockets and walking with his feet turned out.
Nie Zhao never waited for his son to notice him; as soon as he saw him, he would call out, "A-Yuan?"
The little guy saw his dad and ran towards him, but his hands were still in his pockets.
The yacht started moving as soon as the boss boarded, and it was very shaky. Nie Zhao had to hold onto the railing. His bodyguards were all quick to help the child, but A Yuan had a natural sense of balance. With his hands in his pockets, he dodged the bodyguards, seemingly stumbling, but he didn't fall. He rushed to his father with his hands still in his pockets.
Nie Zhao greeted the two elderly people sitting on either side of the sofa and politely asked, "Would you like to go down to the inner cabin to rest for a while?"
His new yacht is large, with three bedrooms, including a master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and a private balcony. Of course, the speed can also be adjusted. Normally, it would take an hour to reach Macau at full speed, but he can slow down, take a shower, lie in bed, or sit on the balcony to enjoy the sunset, and arrive in Macau before dark.
Master Er and Master Dong wanted to rest, but they had things on their minds, so even if they were asked to lie down, they couldn't.
The big boss in Macau is named Hu Xiaotian. According to legend, he is Ye Han's adopted son.
Before the Wen family took over, the Macau gambling industry had four kings vying for supremacy. However, with Ye Han's help, the gambling king won first place. He then handled the operations, while Ye Han was responsible for the casino's technical maintenance. The two worked together to dominate the industry.
The reason why the gambling king dared to kick Ye Han out of the game was because Hu Xiaotian learned the essence of his technique, which is now known even to special police officers like Wang Baodao—the so-called gambling secret manual.
When Ye Han mastered the technology, he was on par with the gambling king and became the second-in-command of the casino.
But since Hu Xiaotian betrayed his adoptive father and defected to the Wen family, he could only become a lackey and henchman. Now, he is just the manager of the gambling hall, which is similar to the lobby manager and security manager of a five-star hotel.
Although Master Er and Master Dong are both over eighty years old, they have worked hard all their lives and are big shots. Originally, when they went to Macau, Hu Xiaotian should have set up a grand ceremony and brought his underlings to the dock to welcome them in a grand manner.
But Hu Xiaotian wouldn't even answer the phone, which made them lose face.
Master Er felt it was better to let go of the matter, quietly go for a walk, and only have Chen Rou pick up Huo Qi before returning to Hong Kong. There was no need to make a scene.
But Dong Ye wasn't about to give up so easily; he was going to play Russian roulette with Hu Xiaotian.
