The bodyguard went to open the door.
Nie Rong and Liang Lisheng exchanged a glance. Not wanting to see a boorish man like Master Dong, they wanted to go back to their room.
But Chen Rou turned around and said, "Father, please give me some face."
In fact, the current situation in the Nie family is that the Third Wife is the one in charge. Nie Rong has neither affairs nor power, nor does he have any face to give her. Since she wants him to stay, he naturally has to stay, so he said, "Okay."
Nie Yao started to disagree again: "Why would I want to see such a bunch of scumbags?"
He was a dead man, pulled down from a high position, and didn't want to see outsiders.
But he has no say in what happens today.
Bending down, Chen Rou placed one hand on Nie Yao's chair and said, "Regarding the matter of Mei Lu drugging Han Yuzhu, because the evidence is conclusive, you cannot deny it, but you are still unwilling to face it."
Furthermore, "But you've been trying to find a way to exonerate her, or rather, to give her a reasonable excuse."
Nie Yao's mindset was strange and contradictory.
He knew that if what Mei Lu had done was true, it was indeed wrong.
But he was unwilling to admit that his birth mother was such a vicious and cruel person.
During his months of imprisonment, he was forced to watch many inhumane films, and then he kept thinking about the authenticity of "Men Under the Sun 731" until recently, when he asked to buy the book.
He seemed to have bought a lot of things, but the one he was most interested in was the one he currently had, "The Story of Bacteria".
The book, written by a fellow villager of his mother Mei Lu, a Japanese, clearly states that in Northeast China in 1937, they carried out a glorious aid activity, not the deliberate release of bacteria as depicted in the film.
A faint hope began to sprout in his heart. He felt that if the story of "Black Sun 731" was fake and fabricated, then the story of his mother was likely also fabricated by Nie Zhao.
That's why he deliberately waited for Chen Rou today, intending to bring this up.
However, he thought that Chen Rou couldn't guess his thoughts; he had to tell her himself.
Chen Rou made it so clear so quickly that he didn't know how to respond and just stood there dumbfounded.
Chen Rou continued, "Your inability to accept this means you do not agree with her actions, nor with the actions of your mother's compatriots in Northeast China in 1937, right?"
Song Yuanchao finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Second Master, if—and I mean if—it's true?"
Nie Yao was clearly taken aback.
He firmly refused to believe that everything in "Men Under the Sun 731" was real.
He has nightmares every day just from looking at it; how painful must it be for someone who has experienced it firsthand?
A plague brought by bacteria is a racial disaster. Only a truly depraved person would deliberately release it.
Thinking of this, he firmly shook his head: "Impossible."
Song Yuanchao couldn't talk to this person, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and Chen Rou patted him on the back again.
Tell him to be careful and not to reveal his whereabouts.
As they were talking, Master Dong, accompanied by his wolf-like, tiger-like, and leopard-like companions and Second Master Weng, entered.
This is the annex of the richest family's estate. The scenery is absolutely stunning, and the feng shui is superb. A strong wind is blowing outside right now, but the wind forms a circle around it, and it is right in the eye of the wind. The sun is shining brightly, and the atmosphere is cool and pleasant.
Wolf, Insect, Tiger, Leopard, and Second Master Weng did not come in; they were outside, but they still had to be searched.
Because of Chen Rou's influence, Master Dong was not searched.
From a distance, he felt a little intimidated, after all, a tycoon like Nie Rong would disdain associating with a nobody like him from Kowloon. But the fact that the other party was smiling warmly at him was already a huge honor.
Liang Lisheng had already struggled to his feet, each step feeling like walking on knives, but he still came forward: "Master Dong!"
Seeing that he was also having difficulty walking, Master Dong quickened his pace to help him, at which point Chen Rou handed him a cane.
She also scolded Uncle Liang: "If your legs are bad, you should walk less. You walk so fast, I can't even keep up with you."
Liang Lisheng took the cane and said with a smile, "Master Dong is a true hero. It is an honor for your father and me to have him as a guest. We didn't go out to greet him because we are too old to walk. But he has come in, how could I not welcome him?"
Nie Rong also stood up and stretched out his hand from afar: "Mr. Dong!"
Mr. Dong smiled and extended both hands: "Mr. Nie!"
But when he glanced at Nie Yao, he couldn't help but be suspicious.
Nie Yao, the second master of the Nie family, everyone says he died on the night Chen Rou killed Gui Tou Qing, but he is still alive.
Even someone as shrewd as Master Dong would wonder, "Now that I've witnessed the Nie family's shady dealings, will I be silenced?"
He was carrying a gun, but he took it off after seeing Chen Rou, and now he has no weapons on him.
If the Nie family were to kill him, he might really die here.
Of course, the old man was secretly worried, but he didn't show it on his face.
Bodyguards set up a table and served tea, and even put up a parasol. Nie Rong naturally served tea first: "Mr. Dong, please have some."
He used to have business dealings with Master Dong, but that was due to Han Yuzhu.
Han Yuzhu partnered with Mr. Dong and did business targeting mainland China.
As for Nie Rong, he didn't know much about history either. After all, he was a businessman, and he only cared about making money.
He himself was quite puzzled, and since it was difficult for Nie Yao to ask, and Chen Rou was going to ask, the question would inevitably be a bit biased, so he took the initiative to ask: "I remember that Mr. Dong often went to the mainland around 1942."
As the saying goes, those who read a lot are often heartless, and those who are righteous are often just lowly butchers.
Mr. Dong, a rough man, was surprisingly forthright.
He put down his teacup, smiled, and said, "The mainland is our home. It's normal for me to make a few more trips when things were tough back then."
