The next morning, Song Yuanchao was left to keep watch, while Ram went home first.
Chen Rou is having morning tea in the flower room right now.
She loved the little greenhouse where her mother-in-law, Han Yuzhu, used to stay. Although it was on the top floor and got direct sunlight, the air conditioning was on morning and evening, so she never felt hot. She could see the azure coastline on one side and the Nie family's gate on the other. It was a place where she could see everything just by sitting there.
Nie Han is still studying. This morning, she got up early and pestered Chen Rou for a long time, asking where Song Yuanchao had been these past few days and when he would be back. Only after Chen Rou confirmed that he would be back by the weekend did she leave dejectedly.
Now, only she and Nie Rong, who returned from the hospital yesterday, are the owners of the house; the rest are servants.
Of course, she was merely a usurper and not the true owner.
While eating her red tea and snacks, she watched the news. Yesterday, when Nie Rong was discharged from the hospital, she gave a brief interview at the entrance of the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital, where she also explained the whereabouts of Mei Lu and Nie Yao.
The old man was still unwilling to give up. He said that Mei Lu had a nervous disorder and was recuperating at a villa somewhere. This was a good explanation and would make it easier for Nie Zhao to send Mei Lu to a mental hospital next. As for Nie Yao, he meant that he had the same strange illness as his first wife, Han Yuzhu, and was also recuperating.
But he added that with the advancements in modern medicine, Nie Yao's illness would be cured within a year or two.
He was actually putting pressure on Nie Zhao. Not only did he not believe the DNA test results, but he was only willing to detain Nie Yao for one or two years. He would definitely continue to challenge Nie Zhao and bring his second son to the forefront.
Let's see what tricks the old man has up his sleeve after losing Liang Lisheng's heart.
Of course, this is all gossip within the richest man's own family, and Chen Rou won't interfere unless it harms Nie Zhao's life.
She saw Ram come upstairs, but just then she saw a news article in the newspaper about the US aircraft carrier's advance into the South China Sea. So she just nodded to Ram, indicating that he should sit down and have dim sum with her, and then read the news first.
Before sitting down, Ram glanced at the newspaper. He couldn't read the words, but he recognized the pictures. So he said, "God, this is the aircraft carrier I used to serve on. It's actually come to Asia. God bless America. We are the messengers of justice."
God bless America, messengers of justice—that slogan sounds so familiar.
Chen Rou tossed the newspaper aside and said with a smile, "This aircraft carrier has launched torpedoes into the South China Sea, but the South China Sea is China's territory."
Ram laughed and said, "Miss Chen, it's the most majestic creature on Earth; it can go anywhere."
Chen Rou picked up a teacup and poured Ram a cup of black tea, then handed him a pastry, saying, "Let's make a bet: the torpedoes it sent to the South China Sea won't return; instead, they'll be retrieved by the local fishermen. If you lose..."
“Impossible. What fisherman could catch such a sensitive torpedo? I’ll bet you $500.” Ram said, reaching out his hand. Chen Rou grasped his hand in return: “Five hundred it is. Let’s make a bet.”
She had to try her best not to laugh, because the US aircraft carrier's advance into the South China Sea these past few days would be a topic of military exam knowledge in the future, and the torpedoes caught by fishermen would be displayed in their unit's museum in the future.
She earned $500 and asked with a smile, "What about the officer's file?"
Ram handed over Officer 00's information: Gender: Male; Name: Wu Yaozu; Age: 32; Family members were somewhat few: a younger brother who worked as a porter at the docks, and a mother who was 50 years old and had kidney disease.
By the way, his file records that he was disciplined in 1986 for accidentally shooting and killing his comrade.
However, he also has many honors in drug enforcement, and on the surface, he is an outstanding police officer of the Narcotics Control Bureau.
Chen Rou was very cautious whenever police officers were involved. She asked Ram, "After following him for two days, what do you think of Wu Yaozu?"
Ram said, "I think he is very good and loving because he can cook and loves his mother very much. I see him pushing his mother out for a walk every night!"
An excellent narcotics officer may kill his colleagues, but he also deeply loves his mother.
Wu Yaozu is a rather complicated person, judging from his resume alone.
So how do we break through his defenses?
Ram ate a couple of bites and was about to leave when Chen Rou called out from behind him, "Get five hundred US dollars ready!"
Ram shrugged, smiled, and left.
Of course, at that moment he had no idea that he would actually lose 500 yuan!
Since Chen Rou wanted to see Wu Yaozu, Song Yuanchao made arrangements. In the afternoon, Chen Rou took Ram up the mountain and was practicing shooting at the training ground when Song Yuanchao called to say that he could arrange a home visit that evening.
...
Nie Zhao had surgery on Sunday, and today is only the third day. He is still resting in the hospital.
Seeing that it was still early, Chen Rou decided to visit Nie Zhao first, and then go to the Wu family for a home visit.
Before leaving, she naturally had to say hello to Nie Rong, who had just returned home.
The old man was in his bedroom on the second floor, waiting for his assistant, Ah Kuan, to announce her arrival before she went in.
As soon as she entered, she saw that the old man had filled a desk with photos and was looking at them.
Some of the photos are of Han Yuzhu, and some are of Nie Yao, but none are of Nie Zhen and Nie Zhao.
“You’ll drive that Porsche 911 from now on, but A-Yao won’t drive it. It’ll just sit there collecting dust,” Nie Rong said.
Porsche 911, it is said that there are only a few in Hong Kong these days. In the entertainment industry, only kung fu superstar Brother Lung has one. Among the big shots, Ghost Head Rong also had one, but it was wrecked by Chen Rou. Nie Yao's is different from theirs because Nie Yao's birthday is September 11th. His car and license plate are both 911, which is a unique sight in Hong Kong.
