Chen Rou opened the magazine and placed it on the bedside table. She put her hands behind her back and said, "Comrade Yuanchao, you once said that as long as you escaped, you would return to the mainland. Now that I'm not too busy here, if you want to leave... you can leave now."
What? She actually let him leave?
Song Yuanchao's gaze fell on the page Chen Rou had just turned to, which featured a work photo of Yu Zhengrong, also known as Inspector Yu. He was a man in his fifties with tanned skin and single eyelids. Just by looking at the photo, one could tell that he was a cunning and shrewd character, and perhaps also a ruthless one with exceptional fighting skills.
And he will be the formidable opponent that Nie Zhao wants to deal with next.
Miss Chen, can you really handle it if you just let him leave? Besides, the boss told him to stay.
Song Yuanchao frowned: "Miss Chen, are you sure you want me to leave?"
Chen Rou raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?" She then asked, "Didn't you say yourself that you'd go back to the mainland sooner or later?"
...
While saying she was sending Song Yuanchao away, Chen Rou was actually testing him.
She didn't intend to make anything clear or force him to confess; she just wanted to have a general idea of his mission.
Seeing that she was serious, a flicker of panic crossed Song Yuanchao's eyes, but he quickly took off the Rolex and presented it to her with both hands, saying sincerely, "Miss Chen, I certainly can't accept such an expensive watch from Miss Ahan. I'm returning it to you now. I don't ask for a high salary; I'll only do a better job than the local bodyguards in terms of missions. If there's anything I'm lacking, please point it out, and I'll study harder and correct it. But please... keep me here!"
He added, "I want to earn more money before I go home."
If they hadn't come from the same unit, and if Chen Rou hadn't had over a decade of service experience, given Song Yuanchao's strong learning and integration abilities, as well as his sincerity, reliability, and sense of responsibility, she would still be just an innocent Hong Kong girl. She might have been captivated by him and become infatuated with him like Ah Han.
But now she was completely certain: he was her senior, an undercover member in that bandit suppression mission across three countries and two regions.
In other words, he was actually an undercover agent who smuggled himself into the park to scout ahead.
He is now trying his best to stay, which is of course arranged by his superiors, and his ultimate goal is to suppress the bandits.
In other words, although Nie Zhao's next target is the most powerful figure in the Hong Kong police force, the task is also very difficult.
But he has the support of the Chinese nation and its elders.
Then the Nie family's chances of winning are not a matter of probability, but an absolute certainty; they will definitely win!
Chen Rou reached out her hand, and Song Yuanchao immediately reached out his hand as well. She said, "Then let's continue to cooperate happily!"
Song Yuanchao gripped Chen Rou's hand and shook it vigorously, then, as if having made a great decision, said, "Miss Chen, there's something I've always been particularly curious about that I'd like to ask you. I hope you won't mind my abruptness and presumption. As far as I know, people in Hong Kong never address others as 'comrade.' Where did you learn that term?"
Chen Rou, being a time traveler, possessed more knowledge and experience, which allowed her to see through Song Yuanchao. However, he couldn't see through her, and of course, he was curious about her. It was too incredible; a young woman from a Hong Kong petit-bourgeois family always seemed to him like a soldier.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Chen Rou didn't intend to confess. She was thinking about how to explain things to Song Yuanchao when she heard Nie Zhao cough suddenly from his hospital bed. The two comrades who were shaking hands by the bed turned around. Well, the boss was awake.
Song Yuanchao turned around and quickly let go of Chen Rou's hand.
He then gracefully removed the Rolex watch and placed it on the table, bowed, and said, "Boss, I'll go stand guard outside now."
Nie Zhao blinked, which was his way of agreeing.
After Song Yuanchao left and closed the door, he reached out his hand, and Chen Rou readily helped him up. She even thoughtfully shook the headboard for him and put in a cushion.
Nie Zhao's eyes were bright, unlike someone who had just woken up. He turned his head and his gaze fell on Yu Zhengrong's photo.
After a moment of silence, he said softly, "Ah Rou, actually I'm just as curious as that Mr. Song."
Chen Rou had just pulled over a swivel chair and sat down opposite Nie Zhao.
It seems he heard everything she said to Song Yuanchao, and now that he's had a good sleep and is well-rested, he's curious about her and wants to have a chat with her.
In fact, Chen Rou was also very curious about Nie Zhao. She wondered if he had also been reborn, or if he was able to uncover his mother's injustice and his elder brother and his wife's car accident despite his father's senility and constant vigilance, all thanks to his own wisdom.
Since he wants to talk, then let him talk. She also wants to find out more about him.
