Regarding the car accident involving Nie Zhen and his wife, in her previous life, after receiving Nie Zhao's case, Chen Rou specifically searched for information online. According to the information she found, a speeding dump truck ran over Nie Zhen's car.
Later, the mastermind behind the car accident, Xiang Tianming, the leader of the Yiyong Hall, had his limbs chopped off by a group of masked men in the city center. His son was also shot dead in the street, and his wife ended up in Kowloon, working in the sex industry.
Judging from the gossip of future generations, all the revenge was done by Nie Rong.
That also means that Nie Rong had thoroughly investigated the matter, but did not find Mei Lu involved.
He just mentioned the character "Yu," and as far as Chen Rou knows, the current number two detective in the Hong Kong police force is surnamed Yu, named Yu Zhengrong.
If Mei Lu really wanted to get rid of Nie Zhen and his wife and put Nie Yao in power, she couldn't rely on Mei Baoshan alone.
That would be easily detected; the safest way is to find outside help.
But during those ten years, the Nie family was at the height of their power in Hong Kong. How many people would have the audacity to lay a dirty hand on their eldest son? There were only two answers: either desperate criminals or political figures.
So even though Nie Rong didn't finish speaking, Chen Rou analyzed the case and thought of Yu Zhengrong.
Sure enough, Nie Zhao closed his eyes and rested for a long time before opening them again and saying, "That was in 1973. Hong Kong was experiencing a stock market crash, coupled with an oil crisis. Oil prices soared from $3 a barrel to $10 overnight. While most people were still hesitating, it soared to $13 the next night. My older brother ordered a large quantity of crude oil when the price was $3. It was about to arrive in Hong Kong and be unloaded at Central Harbour."
Every murder case has its cause, and every murderer has a motive. Nie Zhao is now talking about the motive for his older brother's death.
At this point, Secretary An and Liang Lisheng left with the doctor, leaving only Uncle Ming and Chen Rou in the room.
Mei Lu stopped pretending, but she had her own twisted logic. She said, "Ah Zhao, you should know that I was never the mastermind. I never even thought of killing my cousin. I just thought she was working too hard and wanted her to rest."
If Chen Rou were Nie Zhao, she would have lost control of herself by now and would have tortured Mei Lu.
Not only was he shrewd, but he was also very stable. He didn't argue with Mei Lu's absurd explanation. He only said, "At that time, Yu Zhengrong was the Commissioner of Police in Central. He knew that a large amount of crude oil was arriving in Hong Kong, and every barrel was more expensive than gold. So he had a crooked idea to make a fortune from it. So he asked someone to spread a false message to Xiang Tianming, a big brother of the Yiyong Hall, saying that my brother was going to speculate on the Kowloon Stock Exchange that day and had tens of millions of dollars in cash in his car. That's why Xiang Tianming hit him."
Mei Lu has certainly broadened Chen Rou's horizons today.
From the initial timid and innocent girl to the unreasonable and argumentative, and finally to the rationality at this moment, even the most skilled actors would find it difficult to imitate.
She was so calm and rational, as if she were having a casual chat with Nie Zhao. With a bitter smile, she said, "Since you already know everything, you should also know that I only got your brother's whereabouts from Liang Lisheng and informed Yu Zhengrong, but I was forced into it. At that time, Inspector Yu, he..."
Yu Zhengrong, on the surface, appears righteous and upright, but he is very capable. He discovered the incestuous relationship between Mei Lu and Mei Baoshan, siblings, long ago, and used it to blackmail Mei Lu into giving him information.
What else could Mei Lu do? She didn't want to lose the money and wealth she had worked so hard to acquire, so she had no choice but to compromise.
During that incident, Yu Zhengrong took advantage of Nie Rong's grief over the loss of his son and his inability to attend to his business to secretly steal over a hundred barrels of oil and resell them, making a fortune. Later, when Nie Rong found out and reported it to the police, Yu Zhengrong simply found a few scapegoats and that was the end of it.
These double-crossing and ruthless acts of ruthlessness are unbelievable to Chen Rou, who grew up in a society governed by the rule of law.
But this is the reality unfolding in Hong Kong society; it is a bloody history, and those who can fight their way out of such a dangerous place are the truly strong.
Nie Zhao was probably having a really bad headache; his face was waxy white, almost translucent, and he kept raising and lowering his hand.
Chen Rou thought for a moment, then took his cold hand and warmed it with her own.
He not only had a headache, but also the onset of a fever. His body felt extremely cold, and warming his hands with them would make him feel much better.
He struggled to lift his head and gave his wife a grateful look.
After a moment of silence, he said again, "Yu Zhengrong also helped you make the contact with Gui Touchang. You are really lucky. More than ten years later, you have found another opportunity to help your son take another step towards the chairmanship."
Mei Lu did not deny it, but gave a strange smile and asked Nie Zhao in return: "Don't you know that it is the Philippine pirates who have put a bounty on you? I was forced into it. I was forced by Yu Zhengrong."
She raised her head and asked Nie Zhao again, "Since you knew all this beforehand, why didn't you kill Yu Zhengrong? He was the murderer who wanted to kill you brothers. It has nothing to do with me. I'm just a weak woman with no weapons. What did I do wrong?"
In fact, Chen Rou was quite confused. According to Nie Zhao's current account, he had basically taken control of the Nie family's real power before returning to Hong Kong, and had also figured out Mei Lu's background. So why did he hesitate to make trouble for Mei Lu after returning? Instead, he concentrated all the company's manpower and resources and devoted himself to the construction of Hong Kong Airport, ultimately putting himself in such a passive position and barely escaping with his life.
But she also had a vague idea of what was going on.
It's still about her unit, the joint anti-piracy operation between two locations and three countries that took place in 1988.
