Nie Zhao had just come out of the restroom and was wiping his hands as he walked.
Four tall, burly bodyguards followed behind him, their eyes darting around like a revolving lantern.
Upon seeing Yu Zhengrong, Nie Zhao smiled and quickly walked towards him.
The richest man in Hong Kong, who had just forced his father to resign, was a young talent. Because of his thin build, he wore a suit with a youthful air and an air of nobility. The setting sun shone on his face, and his angular features and full lips resembled those of his mother, Han Yuzhu.
Gui Tou Rong shouted on the other end of the phone, but Yu Zheng Rong decisively hung up.
...
He and Nie Zhao have quite a history.
He had known for a long time that Nie Zhao was no good person.
When Nie Zhao was about five years old, he called the police station, asking them to arrest his father's concubine, Mei Lu, because he believed Mei Lu was a bad person who would kill his mother.
At that time, Yu Zhengrong was arranged by his father to work for the wealthy at the Repulse Bay Police Station as a junior police sergeant.
At that time, he had not yet had a deep collaboration with Mei Lu, but it was impossible for him to respond to a police call because of a child's joke.
Moreover, his father was the director of the political department at the time, and had a lot of influence in the government. Nie Rong also appreciated the father and son. He took advantage of the situation and jokingly told Nie Rong about Nie Zhao's report to the police.
Afterwards, Nie Rong reprimanded Nie Zhao, and also reprimanded Nie Zhen, who was in charge of educating Nie Zhao.
Of course, given the conflict between his wives and concubines, and the fear that Han Yuzhu's family might cause trouble, he kept the matter tightly under control.
Although Yu Zhengrong outwardly treated the matter as a joke, he kept it to himself.
He had been secretly watching Mei Lu and her brother, and then came Han Yuzhu's funeral. In fact, at the funeral, as a police officer on duty, he did not see Nie Zhao do anything excessive. On the contrary, he personally witnessed Mei Lu adding something to Nie Rong's water glass, which was the so-called incident at the funeral where Nie Zhao tried to assassinate Nie Rong.
The substance was identified by the police as castor bean.
Later, the police found Nie Zhao's fingerprints on the water glass, and the murderer was identified as Nie Zhao, who was only seven years old.
Because of that incident, Nie Rong personally spoke to Yu Zhengrong, telling him that it must be kept secret and not leaked.
At the time, Nie Zhao was just a child. He had not poisoned anyone, but he was falsely accused of being the murderer and was to be sent to Europe by his father. However, he did not argue and only told his older brother Nie Zhen to take care before leaving.
At that time, Yu Zhengrong felt that it was extraordinary for a seven-year-old child to be so calm.
He also told Mei Lu that if Nie Zhao was not eliminated, he would surely become a formidable enemy in the future.
That's why he cooperated wholeheartedly when Gui Touchang specifically asked for Nie Zhao, determined to send Nie Zhao to his death.
But as of today, Nie Zhao is still alive and is even approaching him.
...
Seeing that Inspector Yu looked dejected, Nie Zhao asked with concern, "Inspector Yu, are you very busy? Do you have an urgent case?"
Yu Zhengrong realized he had lost his composure and said with a smile, "It was my wife who called to ask if I wanted to come home for dinner."
Nie Zhao slowly folded the handkerchief and put it away, saying, "I was originally thinking that since it's Saturday today and I didn't have any dinner plans, I wanted to have a casual meal with Mr. Yu, but... as men, we shouldn't keep our wives waiting!"
"I haven't been home for dinner for a week. My wife will be angry if I don't go home soon." Yu Zhengrong said as he walked out. His mobile phone was on vibrate mode, and with a muffled sound, it started vibrating again.
He knew, of course, that it was Gui Tou Rong again, but he decisively suppressed it.
He was unaware that Nie Zhao had starved Nie Yao for three days and nine meals a day, effectively turning his second brother into his own substitute, so of course he couldn't guess who the 'Nie Zhao' that Gui Tou Rong was currently keeping an eye on was.
However, as an experienced police chief, he had a gut feeling that Nie Zhao and Liang Lisheng had set him up.
If he were to answer Gui Tou Rong's call here, he would be in trouble with Nie Zhao.
But he couldn't stop contacting Gui Tou Rong, otherwise, if Gui Tou Rong killed the wrong person, he would have to kill him again.
Therefore, he hoped that Nie Zhao could leave as soon as possible.
But Nie Zhao seemed to be doing it on purpose, deliberately delaying the process.
One side of this corridor is a window, outside which is the office building of the Hong Kong government in the 1930s, called the Meili Building. It is a landmark building, and even now, various grand events in Hong Kong are held in the Meili Building.
Nie Zhao slowly stopped, pointed to the Meili Building across the street and said with a smile, "Inspector Yu, my mother once danced with Governor Johnson on the balcony of the Meili Building. I remember she was wearing a cheongsam with roses on it. She was so beautiful."
Yu Zhengrong was anxious inside, but he didn't show it on his face. He walked over and said with a smile, "I remember your mother was sick after you were born, and she has never appeared in public since."
Nie Zhao's eyes softened: "I watched her old video."
Yu Zhengrong walked to his side and started walking forward again, guiding Nie Zhao to continue walking forward as well, saying, "At that time, I should have just joined the police force not long ago. Your mother had postcards that sold better than those of celebrities, and I have treasured them all."
Nie Zhao finally started walking, but then turned back and looked at the Meili Building illuminated by colorful lights under the night sky, and said, "I really want to see her dance with my own eyes. I think it must be very beautiful."
Yu Zhengrong was sweating profusely with anxiety, but she still said, "Your mother is a great woman worthy of remembrance."
Gui Tou Rong was still on the phone, his cell phone ringing loudly.
Nie Zhao seemed not to hear him and said, "But when I was a child, I heard many people say that she was too strong-willed."
