Han Yuzhu once said that revenge only leads to more revenge, and that Nie Zhao should be patient with Chen Rou and tell her about Kowloon when she grows up, so that he can help her resolve the hatred between the two big bosses of Kowloon.
Nie Zhao felt deeply guilty towards Chen Rou because he had not followed his mother's wishes.
When he saw her turn to Mei Lu and use the tricks Mei Lu taught her to please him, he shut her out of his life. He was afraid that he would repeat Nie Zhen's mistake and that he would die before he could avenge himself.
So for the first twenty years of Chen Marou's life, he treated her like air.
Even if he gets married, it's only because of his relationship with Kowloon, which benefits his revenge and the Nie family.
It wasn't until they were kidnapped and taken to the Philippines that he realized what a nightmare his existence was for that innocent girl who could only dance. Moreover, he was shocked to discover that what he had done to Chen Rou was no different from what his father, Nie Rong, had done to his mother, Han Yuzhu. Only he himself knew how much remorse he felt at that time.
Of course, even now, looking back, he still can't fall in love with the naive Chen Rou who only knew how to dance. He loves the strong woman in front of him, who is like a rose covered in thorns, and who is only gentle to him.
He disguised himself with a kind face and cautiously approached her, but he couldn't suppress his true nature, his instincts.
...
The night was long, and Boss Nie couldn't sleep.
Moreover, he knows best how to avoid upsetting his wife.
After a moment of silence, he began to talk about business: "Inspector Gu from the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau has a daughter who works at the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC). She has volunteered to investigate Inspector Yu's case. If Wade hadn't bribed someone to keep an eye on me, I would probably be in trouble, because that Miss Gu applied for phone surveillance, including all of our villas. She even went to Happy Valley herself."
Chen Rou didn't understand the connection at first, but she remembered it after using the original owner's memories: "That Miss Gu is an admirer of Nie Yao. She wants to get close to Nie Yao by taking advantage of the investigation. Was it Huo Qi who instructed her?"
Nie Zhao continued, "Huo Qi is the person you chose. He is quite clever. He heard that Li Sir in Kowloon had a grudge against Yu Sir, so he pulled Li Sir to his side and, through Li Sir, checked the phone records of Xiang Tianming's family more than ten years ago. From these records, he identified the call Yu Sir made to Xiang Tianming. With that phone record, Yu Sir was proven guilty."
Investigating a case requires strategy and evidence.
For example, in the case of Nie Zhen, all the clues that were favorable to the Nie family were burned during the police riot in 1977.
Although Huo Qi was an inspector, his superiors did not support him and even secretly sabotaged him, making it difficult for him to continue his investigation.
However, Sergeant Lee of the Kowloon Police Station, who also held the evidence that Sergeant Yu had hired someone to commit murder, was willing to stand up and support Fok Kai. Fok Kai was also determined to get to the bottom of the matter, and the car accident was finally solved.
There was one case in which even if Inspector Yu woke up, he would still be sentenced to hanging.
So if he were still conscious, he probably wouldn't want to wake up and die in a different way.
Regarding Huo Qi, Chen Rou didn't give him much of a second glance; it was Nie Zhao who chose him himself.
Moreover, as far as she knew, although Huo Qi withstood immense pressure and remained impartial in Yu Zhengrong's case, he had also been trying to break through Nie Zhao's bodyguards and even attempted to arrange a meeting with her. The purpose was obvious: to find evidence of the Nie family's detention of Mei Lu and Nie Yao, and to expose the Nie family's vigilante justice so that Nie Zhao and his son could be brought to justice. In short, Huo Sir did not show favoritism, but for Nie Zhao, he was both an asset and a liability—a double-edged sword.
However, Boss Nie was always good at saying sweet things while keeping a dark face. When he praised Huo Qi, he was praising a truly outstanding police officer, and he was giving credit to Chen Rou, who was also an outstanding police officer. Of course, she was happy and overjoyed.
Before Boss Nie could even mention his stomachache, she rubbed his chest with her hand: "As long as Inspector Yu's case is progressing smoothly, that's all that matters. Miss Gu is a help to Huo Qi, but unless Nie Yao is too stupid, he won't cooperate with her. Why are you so worried?"
Strangely enough, the lady would throw a punch at any moment, and she was incredibly ruthless. If she could smash someone's nose, she wouldn't hit their stomach. If she could wipe their stomach, she would never waste time stabbing them again. She had hands made of steel.
But she was also so easily moved to pity the weak. As long as Nie Zhao showed the slightest weakness, her steely hands would turn into soft, gentle ones, encircling his chest and giving him the exclusive favor that he had only ever seen Nie Yao have since childhood, a favor he himself had but never had. He would feel ashamed for deceiving her pity, yet he would also be unable to extricate himself from that pleasure.
And now it's actually very dangerous; he doesn't have a stomachache, but he keeps lying and saying he does.
He's lying, and if he's caught red-handed, given Chen Rou's personality, she'll probably beat him to a pulp.
But Nie Zhao, as if possessed, shamelessly said, "My stomach hurts."
Whether it was Nie Rong, Nie Jiayu, Nie Jiajun, or anyone else in society, he felt no ripples in his heart when they had feelings for Nie Yao. He even thought they were stupid. But Chen Rou was different. Even though she thought the crystal ball was a gift from him and thanked him for it, he knew in his heart that it was a gift from Nie Yao. Nie Yao also knew better than him what his wife liked. He was jealous and went crazy.
He's endured it for so long, but he can't take it anymore; he wants to go further.
Hearing that he wasn't feeling well, his wife fell for it and moved even closer to him: "Why is your stomach hurting again? Haven't you asked the doctor to prescribe any medicine for you lately?"
At this time, in Chen Rou's mind, Nie Zhao was no good, and she was always worried that he might suddenly die.
