Nie Zhao was much nicer to the Taiwanese guy, asking, "You're here?"
The Taiwanese man bowed and said, "Hello, boss!"
Nie Zhao said meaningfully, "It's been a few days since I last saw you. You look less naive and more world-weary, and much more mature."
Once he's a little more mature, he can go back to Taiwan and take back his Bamboo Union gang?
In a friendly business exchange, the Taiwanese guy deliberately pushed Song Yuanchao aside and said, "Boss, you also have a strong and imposing presence!"
That's pure exaggeration. Nie Zhao is currently in a state where he can't even stand up from his knees; he's as weak as a sponge.
Nie Zhao turned around and said to Chen Rou, "You rest for a bit and wait for us for half an hour."
He and Wade went into the study first, followed by Song Yuanchao, who glared at the Taiwanese boy with a fierce look in his eyes.
Taiwanese boy has never been one to back down from Song Yuanchao, and he loves to tease him: "You bumpkin, go to the hospital and get checked out, you've got strabismus."
Song Yuanchao first watched his boss enter the study, then beckoned to the Taiwanese boy to come to him before saying, "One day I'll tie you up and take you to the Northeast to see for yourself, then you'll know just how terrifying Unit 731 really is."
You ask the heavens, he answers the earth. The Taiwanese guy ignores Song Yuanchao and turns to Chen Rou, saying, "Actually, I've watched quite a few horror movies, but..." He can't describe it, but he just feels very uncomfortable.
The movie that Nie Zhao used to torment his second brother caused considerable suffering to Taiwan.
Chen Rou said, "Wan Daozai, that's a documentary film. You can ask the film company if you don't believe me."
"Men Behind the Sun 731" is not only a documentary film, but also a co-production between mainland China and Hong Kong, with the distributor located in Hong Kong.
There's a scene in the movie where a little girl is left by Japanese and puppet troops on a freezing night. They keep pouring cold water on her arms until her hands are frozen stiff. Then they knock off the ice and put her hands in hot water to thaw them before tearing off her skin and flesh.
The Taiwanese guy almost choked on his saliva: "Documentary? There really was a girl who got her skin peeled off while filming a movie, how hilarious!"
“It’s not just a documentary, it’s history. It really happened, and the number of casualties is far greater than what you see in the movies.” After Chen Rou finished speaking, she gestured for Wan Daozi to come with her and went down to the basement.
The mansion has two underground floors. Parking is just one of the functional areas; there is also a wine cellar, a movie theater, and a billiards room. So far, Chen Rou has only walked through the entire mansion once.
The wine cellar on the second basement floor, once the door is closed, offers just as much privacy as Nie Zhao's study.
Chen Rou led Wan Daozai into the wine cellar, grabbed a drink for him, and asked first, "Is your skin condition all better?"
Although Wan Daozi is dirty, his festering athlete's foot has indeed healed. He exclaimed, "My feet are even softer than my face now!"
It's unclear whether he or Nie Zhao caught the other's dry humor, but Chen Rou really wanted to punch him.
She glared at her and asked, "Who's with you? How's Madam Mei? What about Nie Yao?"
She could ask Nie Zhao about these things, and if she wanted to see Mei Lu and her son, she could go directly to their place of detention, but there was no need for that. From the perspective of a Taiwanese, she mainly wanted to find out about the security situation there.
Wan Daozai was about to complain: "That woman is locked up very deep, only Secretary An can see her. Ah Hui and I are in charge of two men, and they cry every day. The boss even made us watch horror movies and made Nie Yao lose weight. It's so annoying!"
Secretary An was Nie Rong's confidant, and he was tasked with keeping a close eye on Mei Lu, so he naturally did so very closely.
Ah-fai is a relative of the housekeeper, Uncle Ming, so he doesn't dare to act recklessly. In addition, there's Wan-dao-zai, making a total of three forces providing security. These three forces are intertwined and wary of each other, forming a perfect deadlock.
Neither Mei Lu nor Nie Yao could untie that knot.
Nie Yao died young in his previous life, the cause of death unknown. Mei Lu has been confined to a mental hospital. As for Inspector Yu, Chen Rou did not see him on the list of police chiefs after his return, nor did she see any news about him, which proves that he also died young.
Having witnessed Nie Zhao's methods, Chen Rou also questioned the deaths of Nie Yao and Inspector Yu.
As the two were chatting, someone knocked on the door. Chen Rou asked, "Who is it?"
It was Nie Han, who said with a smile, "Xi Niang, your uncle has been looking for you everywhere. I guessed you were here."
It seems that after Nie Zhao and Wade finished their private conversation, she should be there next.
Chen Rou stood up and asked Wan Daozi, "Wan Daozi, if I invite you to the mainland in the future, will you go?"
“Okay, let’s go to Northeast China. If ‘Men Behind the Sun’ is really history, if it really happened, I’ll apologize to Song Yuanchao. He’s not a bumpkin.” The Taiwanese guy pointed to himself: “Me, the most manly man in Hong Kong, I keep my word!”
She ran into Nie Han as she went out, and he said, "Miss, it's been a long time."
Nie Han was as enthusiastic towards Song Yuanchao as he was towards Wan Daozai: "Say less, or I'll want to punch you!"
...
Although she knew she was a bit slow and that the less she knew, the better, Nie Han couldn't help but be curious and wanted to know what her uncle and the others were discussing behind closed doors all day. Just then, Chen Rou and Wan Daozai were about to go into the study, and she wanted to come in and see what was going on.
Nie Zhao shouted sternly, "Ah Han!"
"Okay, okay, I'm going to the kitchen," Nie Han said, while Song Yuanchao had already locked her out.
As usual, Wade waited for Chen Rou to sit down first, greeted her, and then stared at Wan Daozai with a suspicious look behind his thick glasses for a long time until Nie Zhao nodded before he opened the slideshow.
This time it wasn't a photograph, but a long take, filmed at the Hong Kong Police Station.
It is a large complex consisting of an old building built in the 1920s, a 33-story building built in the 1960s, and a new building under construction. This video is an educational documentary filmed by the police, with voice-over narration, aiming to make people understand the administrative branches and internal structure of the Hong Kong Police Force in an open and transparent manner.
