It's a bit cruel, but six months ago, Nie Zhao went to Macau specifically to see Dr. Kuang. It wasn't for his mother, but to test Mei Lu's background and find out just how powerful her connections were.
As he expected, he was kidnapped as soon as he left Kwong Tsai, and Dr. Kwong was later shot dead.
It was at that time that Nie Zhao finally understood the power behind Mei Lu and her brother, a high-ranking police chief who controlled all the police forces in Hong Kong.
He has officially locked onto Yu Zhengrong.
Hearing him say that, Chen Rou felt a little jealous of his intelligence.
Because he was facing an inescapable trap, and he broke through the deadly situation without being reborn or having a prophet, it shows how high his intelligence and how deep his cunning were.
But the same question remains: why didn't he take action six months ago, instead focusing his efforts on building the airport?
Chen Rou wanted to know this, but Nie Zhao avoided the topic.
Pointing to her hand, he said in an exceptionally gentle voice, "When I came out of the water dungeon, I had a dream. I dreamt that you were standing in front of me wearing a military green camouflage T-shirt and black trousers. The backs and palms of your hands were covered in rough calluses. You told me your name was Chen Rou, and you said not to worry, as long as you were there, I would be safe. Although I don't know what you've been through, I want to say that Rou, you are even more outstanding than I ever knew. There's nothing we can't talk about, and there's no need for us to be suspicious of each other. I completely trust you."
Chen Rou felt a chill run down her spine for no apparent reason, because when she met the older version of Nie Zhao before she transmigrated, he was wearing the summer uniform of the Chinese special police: a military green camouflage T-shirt, black uniform pants, and combat boots, with a special police insignia on his chest.
She did indeed say the same thing to Nie Zhao.
So he must have dreamt of a future scene, from the perspective of an older version of Nie Zhao. No wonder the white-haired Nie Zhao called her Arou as soon as he saw her.
The elderly billionaire saw her, and what he saw was his tragically murdered newlywed wife.
She remembered that his eyes looked just like this back then, and then he took her hand, opened it, and looked at it for a long, long time. He must have been very surprised and incredulous at that time.
Chen Rou didn't want to say it outright, so she took Nie Zhao's hand and said, "It's the same now. With me here, you're safe."
Furthermore, "You don't need to be curious about my past; just know that I will protect you."
Nie Zhao nodded, but then asked, "For a girl to have calluses on the back of her hands, you must have suffered a lot, right?"
The reason he always held her hand and touched it was because in his dreams, those hands were covered in calluses, which left a deep impression on him.
He had a gut feeling that a girl with such rough hands must have suffered a lot.
Chen Rou's answer was actually the same one she had given Nie Zhao in her previous life: "I like all kinds of physical training and I also like my profession, so I never feel tired. I also enjoy my life now."
Nie Zhao lowered his eyes for a long time before saying, "People are always bound to have prejudices. When you were little, I always felt that you, like Nie Yao, were deeply influenced by Mei Lu and had a too soft and gentle personality. I didn't... like you."
That's a bit cruel.
Although Chen Rou knew that love couldn't be forced, she still felt uncomfortable thinking about the original owner's feelings for Nie Zhao.
When she's feeling uncomfortable, her naturally upturned eyes will turn fierce.
She finally couldn't hold back any longer and pointed to her eyes: "Have you ever thought that it might really be as Vice Chairman Liang said, that I am possessed by a ghost, and that I am no longer your wife, that Miss Chen Rou?"
Chen Rou assumed that since Nie Zhao had dreamed of his future self, he would agree with her opinion.
But no, he smiled, a smile playing on his lips: "You are you, no matter what you become, you are still you."
His words provoked Chen Rou's rebellious nature.
Caught off guard, she suddenly raised her fist, but stopped abruptly just before hitting Nie Zhao's nose, saying, "But you also said that my original personality was too soft and gentle, but now I'm very fierce, how could I possibly be the same person?"
Liang Lisheng was right; her current condition is called possession by a ghost. She is possessed.
Nie Zhao still disagreed, saying, "But didn't you also go against Mei Lu's wishes to compete for Miss Hong Kong?"
He added, "You are you, you are my wife, Miss Chen Rou."
In fact, the original owner had a very sharp personality when he was a child, but Mei Lu's brainwashing skills were too powerful, so he turned the original owner into someone like Nie Yao, who seemed smart and cute, but also completely lost his independent personality.
Nie Yao had always been Mei Lu's obedient son and never thought of rebelling.
The original owner rebelled and went to compete in the Miss Hong Kong pageant. Unfortunately, she was far inferior to Mei Lu in terms of connections and power, and as a result, she was ridiculed by the media throughout Hong Kong. Unable to withstand the pressure, she quietly withdrew from the competition.
But her resistance was exactly what Nie Zhao admired, which was probably why he married her.
Unfortunately, even though Nie Zhao was shrewd and prudent enough, he still underestimated Mei Lu's influence over the original owner of this body, and thus was ambushed because of her. Again, the original owner bears undeniable responsibility for Nie Zhao's capture.
Caught off guard, Chen Rou was taken aback when Nie Zhao grasped her hand again: "It's late, go and get some rest."
Chen Rou pointed and said, "If I'm possessed by a ghost, you can't hold my hand like that anymore, because I'm not your wife."
To show friendliness, she brought along the Taiwanese boy's signature "oh," placing it at the end of her sentence as an auxiliary sound, intending to be friendly and amicable, and to move their relationship back to that of ordinary friends.
She also wanted Nie Zhao to avoid being too affectionate with her in the future.
But Nie Zhao succinctly replied: "You are the third wife of the Nie family, forever the third wife, go to sleep."
Chen Rou was speechless. Nie Zhao added, "Song Yuanchao is a member of the mainland military. He doesn't know Hong Kong well enough, nor is he cautious enough. From now on, just call him Song Zai and don't call him by his full name anymore."
Yes, Song Yuanchao has military strength and can go undercover, but he's not quite up to the task of conducting covert espionage work.
This intelligence was probably obtained by Uncle Ming for Nie Zhao. Nie Zhao, a bigwig in Hong Kong, was a figure of great value to the mainland military in terms of united front work during the handover, so they certainly wouldn't do anything to harm him.
Nie Zhao turned a blind eye to Song Yuanchao's behavior.
Well, Chen Rou really admires the bigwigs of Hong Kong in this era; they're all shrewd and cunning!
