The more Chen Rou got to know Nie Zhao, the more unfathomable he seemed.
Two days have passed since he dealt with Liang Lisheng and then locked up Mei Lu. He is a patient and can't eat much. In the past two days, he has only drunk some ginseng soup made at home and has been in a drowsy state while receiving intravenous fluids.
Because he refused to wake up, the doctors were quite worried, fearing that there might be some changes in his brain injury. They even discussed giving him a detailed examination the next morning to see if his brain injury had worsened.
But judging from his bright eyes and strong voice, his brain had clearly recovered well. He was clearly awake when she was chatting with Song Yuanchao, but he pretended to be asleep, probably because he wanted to hear what they were talking about.
Now that Song Yuanchao has left, he is about to formally interrogate her.
Thinking about it, he's quite bold. You know, she's ruthless when it comes to killing, and he was someone she brought back from the Philippines. Although she went on a killing spree to protect him, he also relied on her power to hold onto the wealth even when he was on his deathbed. But the current situation is actually very dire for him, because the only potential rival for his wealth, Nie Yao, has already been killed. If Chen Rou is only after money, she can simply strangle him now, and the entire Nie family will legally belong to her. And with his current weakness, he can't even resist.
She could easily strangle him, but he actually wants to interrogate her?
Is it because he was also reborn and has bargaining chips that she can't see?
Seeing him reach for the water glass, Chen Rou picked it up and handed it to him, adjusting the straw before asking with a smile, "So, what aspect of me are you curious about?"
Having served as a special police officer, she excelled at interrogation. Without batting an eye, she threw the question at Nie Zhao.
Nie Zhao took a sip of water through the straw, then put it down and said, "Uncle Liang came to see me this afternoon. He said he's already looking for a Taoist priest to perform a ritual for you. He also said he's consulted several psychiatrists."
He paused for a moment and then said, "Uncle Ming said that although you are very careful about what you eat and drink, you trust him a lot."
This guy is very clever. He didn't directly point out what was wrong with her, but he said everything he needed to say through the two old men.
Moreover, his words also implied that Liang Lisheng suspected she was possessed by a ghost or mentally unstable, and that Uncle Ming was not as loyal as he appeared to her, even giving Nie Zhao bad advice: to drug her if necessary.
At this moment, Chen Rou could hardly control her expression.
According to Nie Zhao, even if she really killed him with a single blow, she still wouldn't be able to take control of the Nie family.
Not only could she not control him, she genuinely trusted Uncle Ming; she would eat the water and food he brought her.
So it's very likely that as long as Nie Zhao nods, Uncle Ming will secretly drug her and make her unconscious.
If that old man Liang Lisheng brings a group of doctors from the mental hospital and some bodyguards to tie her up, then when she wakes up again, confused and disoriented, she will be treated as a madwoman and locked up in the mental hospital forever.
Looking at Nie Zhao's sincere and frank expression, Chen Rou suddenly felt a little ashamed and a little scared.
She felt ashamed of her underestimation of her opponent and also feared that she had overestimated her own abilities.
This was Hong Kong before the handover, where the bigwigs were all cunning old foxes, each carrying a copy of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio.
Even an old butler like Uncle Ming is someone that ordinary people cannot deal with.
Not to mention Liang Lisheng.
The Old Bull Demon King secretly consulted a Taoist priest and a psychiatrist, yet he didn't reveal it at all on the surface.
Nie Zhao was also a skilled negotiator, so he passed the problem to Chen Rou and asked her to see how she would handle it.
Seeing that he had stopped drinking, Chen Rou put down her glass and asked in return, "So what do you think? Am I normal?"
The attitudes of the few old men are not important; what matters is his attitude.
How he sees her, and how he plans to treat her.
This man was actually quite young, only 27 years old. His gaze often turned cold and chilling, but at this moment, when he looked at her, his eyes were clear and bright, as if you could see right through them, and they were filled with tenderness.
He raised his hand, palm up, gesturing for her to reach out.
Chen Rou paused for a moment, then reached out and placed her hand on his palm. Nie Zhao immediately grasped her hand.
Chen Rou disliked his ambiguous attitude. She felt it was a betrayal of the original owner of the body, so she tried to pull her hand away, but Nie Zhao frowned, endured the pain in his collarbone, and squeezed her hand tightly.
"Speak your mind..." Chen Rou was angry and wanted to warn Nie Zhao not to pull or tug at her.
Nie Zhao also said, "Kwong Tak, the father of Kwong Tsai, was the doctor my mother trusted the most, but my mother still passed away despite his dedicated treatment. That was a knot in his heart that he could not untie. Later, my eldest brother and his wife died in a car accident. He began to suspect that there was something wrong with it, so he called Uncle Ming and asked for my number in Europe, intending to come to me to discuss my mother's illness. But that afternoon, just as he was about to make the call, a group of men in black broke into the house and shot his wife dead. He jumped out of the window with his one-year-old son, Kwong Tsai, and escaped. That's how he survived."
Chen Rou shivered.
The Mei siblings themselves are not particularly powerful, but they have Yu Zhengrong, who has connections in both the legal and illegal worlds and holds a high position of power, behind them.
Mei Lu must have been keeping an eye on Dr. Kuang all along, and his death was imminent when he tried to contact the exiled Nie Zhao.
Dr. Kwong narrowly escaped death, but his wife was brutally murdered, which was utterly despicable.
Nie Zhao continued, "Later, I used Western medicine to prove the cause of my mother's illness and also eliminated the spies that the Mei siblings had placed around me. Then I went to Macau to see Dr. Kuang. You understand my purpose, right?"
