The West Wharf was merely a warehouse used by the Nie family to load and store various kinds of jewelry, gold, and diamonds.
Its warehouse is not a cold storage facility, but it uses the best steel and has the highest safety factor.
As the door closed, with a few clicks, Liang Lisheng turned on the light.
This is an empty warehouse, dozens of meters deep. Rows of white electric scales are lit up overhead, and the steel plates on all four sides reflect a cold light. Although there is no air conditioning, it is still very cold inside, making people shiver.
Nie Yao broke down the moment he saw the lights turn on.
While escaping through the heavy traffic, Liang Lisheng was his only hope for turning his life around.
But just now, when Nie Yao saw Liang Lisheng's expression towards Nie Zhao, he knew it was all over, he was doomed.
At that moment, just looking at the murderous intent in Liang Lisheng's eyes, he knew that he was doomed.
In the empty and desolate warehouse, the incandescent light shone on the faces of the four people.
Liang Lisheng was still the same as Nie Yao knew, but these days he had many more wrinkles on his face, and he had lost a lot of weight. His once shiny slicked-back hair was gone, and he had become a bald, fat old man.
Nie Zhao was still the same as always, his face forever numb and indifferent, his gaze as cold as ever.
Only Chen Rou seemed to have undergone a complete transformation after returning to the Philippines.
She was wearing a black suit and white sneakers that she would never have chosen before. She held an AK vertically, one hand in her pocket, standing in front of Nie Zhao. She didn't look like a rich lady, but rather like a female assassin or bodyguard.
Looking around, she turned out to be the one he feared most out of the three people who wanted to kill him.
Her eyes were clear and calm, but the calmness sent chills down his spine.
Driven by the will to survive, Nie Yao spoke up: "Godfather!"
His voice echoed in the empty room, carrying a sad and desolate tone.
Liang Lisheng glanced back at Nie Zhao first.
He stood casually behind Chen Rou, his hands in his pockets, as if the person in front of him was not his blood brother, but a stranger. In fact, there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
Of course, Nie Zhao felt no remorse for the seven years that Han Yuzhu had been bedridden with illness, which tormented her and her son.
"Godfather, I'm only 27 years old. Since I was born, I've listened to my parents and tried my best to learn from my older brother. I'm a clean person, I don't gamble, I don't gamble, I don't smoke, and I've never done anything immoral." Nie Yao's lament came from all directions.
From the Philippines to Hong Kong, Tiger, Mei Baoshan, and Ah Zeng all deserved their fates and died with a clear conscience.
However, Xiang Tiange and Gui Tou Rong felt they died with regrets, while Nie Yao was the most bewildered of them all.
He was so outstanding as a child that everyone praised him, and as he grew up, he was constantly pursued by gossip media. He was the heir to a wealthy family that every girl in Hong Kong dreamed of marrying.
But now he was about to die, and at the hands of his godfather who had doted on him since childhood.
He felt wronged and didn't want to die because he had worked hard every day of his life to be the excellent person his mother wanted and to surprise his father every day. He had worked so hard, and his ending shouldn't be death.
...
It is indeed too cruel to have Liang Lisheng kill Nie Yao.
But he finally raised his gun amidst Nie Yao's cries of agony and spoke, almost wailing himself: "Yao, it's so hard to make money in Hong Kong. A few years ago, when the British government was still willing to take charge, even though the Political Department was full of thugs who did this and that every day, they would still occasionally do something. But now, there is no law and no fairness, only the strong and the weak, life and death!"
Although the previous British government often liked to use the name of political prisoners to persecute people, it would also step in to manage things when everyone was in a frenzy of fighting.
However, since the agreement to return Hong Kong was reached in 1984, the British government not only abandoned Hong Kong but also turned Kowloon into a refugee camp on an international level. This means that criminals who have committed crimes in other countries can seek refuge in Kowloon without having to worry about being extradited back.
As a result, Kowloon has become a gathering place for villains and scoundrels from all over the world in recent years.
Hong Kong is a gathering place for villains, and Kowloon is teeming with dragons.
Under such circumstances, making a business and supporting more than 80,000 employees would be an impossible task.
Since he was willing to speak, Nie Yao felt that there was still hope. Of course, he would continue to persuade Liang Lisheng. He said, "Godfather, we originally agreed that I would finish up the matter and we would all leave together before the handover. We would go to Europe to expand our territory!"
If he didn't say that and just kept begging for mercy, Chen Rou would look down on Nie Yao and think he was a coward.
But the fact that he could openly lobby in front of his brother and try to turn the company's deputy against him shows he's a man.
She was also quite curious about how Nie Zhao would react to his second brother's blatant rebellion.
After all, Liang Lisheng's inner opinion was to leave Hong Kong after the handover and strategically retreat to Europe. Nie Yao's opinion was more to his liking. Wasn't Nie Zhao anxious or afraid?
She turned around, and Nie Zhao was right behind her, but he didn't say anything. He just turned her head and smoothed her messy hair.
Then he walked past her and went behind Liang Lisheng.
At that moment, Liang Lisheng had already pressed the gun against Nie Yao's forehead.
Nie Yao raised his hands, staring intently at his godfather, his eyes full of pleading and pleas, his gaze like that of a deer.
Liang Lisheng was trembling all over: "Ayao, sorry, I don't know if you understand what I mean. You can only be the person in charge in a peaceful environment, but the boss is not. He is as insightful as Chairman Han and is someone who can change the business environment."
