Chen Rou had very mixed feelings about Nie Zhao.
When she saw him interacting with foreigners in various formal occasions, and saw the calculations in his dark eyes, she thought of him as the wise and world-weary tycoon from her past life, someone she needed to respect.
But when he sneaks up on her and acts like her husband, interfering in or probing into her life, she gets the illusion that he has no romantic experience and is still a reckless young man, which makes her want to tease him.
As for what she and Song Yuanchao discussed, Chen Rou cannot tell Nie Zhao yet.
Given the current social situation in Hong Kong, where illegal acts are permissible, Nie Zhao's actions were entirely out of self-defense. Chen Rou wanted to seek justice for the original owner of this body, so she would accompany him.
But as a soldier, she, like Song Yuanchao, has principles and bottom lines. She cannot stand by and watch criminals kill civilians. So even if she doesn't take action herself, she must help Song Yuanchao and do her best to save Nie Yao's life.
Of course, the premise is that Nie Yao's existence cannot threaten Nie Zhao's interests, thereby affecting the military's mission.
Then she would become a sinner against the country that nurtured her.
These things can't be explained in a few words, and Chen Rou didn't want Nie Zhao to rack his brains, so she changed the subject and asked, "Does your head hurt?"
Nie Zhao touched the injury on his collarbone and said honestly, "It's okay, it's just a little sore and itchy here."
The bone area was growing new flesh, which was sore and itchy, extremely uncomfortable. But his most painful part was not his collarbone or head, but his hemorrhoids. It was an unspeakable problem, and the pain was so intense that it was indescribable.
The elevator doors opened, and Chen Rou reached out and put her arm around Nie Zhao's arm: "You're not feeling well, yet you still have the leisure to observe Song Zai's chat with me?" Isn't he being a bit too nosy?
Nie Zhao, on the other hand, was quite frank and said softly, "You are my wife, it's normal for me to pay attention to you."
Noticing her displeasure, he added, "I already said it was just a casual question, you don't have to answer."
Although Chen Rou is a soldier and has a rough personality, it is precisely because she is a soldier that she has come into contact with a wide range of men, so she understands men quite well. She said, "I guess you haven't heard any news about the mainland military, have you?"
He's a shrewd businessman; by first throwing out bait and then asking about Song Yuanchao, he was definitely trying to exchange information.
Since Chen Rou is uncooperative, he will likely refuse to share matters concerning the mainland military with her as well.
As expected, Nie Zhao did not respond.
Chen Rou was annoyed, thinking to herself that this guy was really a stingy person!
...
The rooftop greenhouse is open-air, but it is equipped with air conditioning, so it remains cool even on hot summer nights.
This is Repulse Bay, a place with unique Hong Kong charm, where the sea glistens under the setting sun in the distance.
The orchids blooming in the greenhouse are golden-edged Phalaenopsis orchids, which are said to be a variety bred in Japan, and each plant costs tens of thousands of yuan.
At the hospital, Nie Rong had Secretary An with him. Uncle Ming had already gone home and was upstairs, teaching Kuang Zai how to set the table, place the cutlery, and pour red wine. When Nie Zhao came with Chen Rou on his elbow, he demonstrated to Kuang Zai how to pull and push chairs and lay out napkins.
Nie Han was making a phone call while enjoying the sea breeze when she turned around and asked, "Uncle, is that Xi Niang?"
Nie Zhao patted her and said, "We have something very important to discuss. You should all go downstairs for dinner."
Nie Han looked at Chen Rou and said helplessly, "Xi Niang, these are all your favorite dishes. You two enjoy your meal, I won't disturb you any longer."
...
Chen Rou thought Nie Zhao was a stingy person who would deliberately harass her today and refuse to exchange information with her.
But as soon as he sat down, he said, "Because the joint anti-bandit force knew about the ambiguous relationship between the Philippine pirates and the United States in advance, they did not rely on military satellites, and so far there have been no deaths."
The situation in the Philippines is very complex.
Because of rampant trafficking and abuse of laborers and kidnapping of hostages, the country had no choice but to accept the anti-piracy forces dispatched by the international police. However, the so-called joint force of two places and three countries currently consists of many accomplices of pirates among the Philippines' own people, and Brunei, being a small country, is just used to fill the gaps. Therefore, the people who can fight pirates are all Chen Rou's seniors.
Without the help of US military satellites, their mission would be very difficult to carry out in a foreign country with high mountains and deep forests.
But if you rely on it, that's like revealing your identity, and you'll only die faster.
Chen Rou knew all too well the ins and outs of the situation, but unfortunately, there was nothing she could do to help.
Hearing that none of her seniors had died yet, she was naturally in a much better mood.
Dinner was Chinese food, Cantonese cuisine, with braised pork ribs with bitter melon, a dish of shark fin, chicken breast that Chen Rou loves, honey-glazed, and a large clay pot rice. Nie Zhao served himself a bowl of rice and said, "But just last night, the joint forces camp was bombarded by pirates, and two team members were injured."
Chen Rou subconsciously said, "Their camp wasn't well hidden, and it was detected by a military satellite from some country, right?"
The fact that it could be precisely targeted while concealing itself suggests only one possibility: it was detected by military satellites.
Currently, only one country has military satellites in space: the United States.
Nie Zhao placed the rice bowl in front of Chen Rou and said, "Currently, they have moved all their camps and weapons to the sea. Moreover, it is said that some kind people have donated seven or eight assault boats to them. They are also quite lucky, as they have actually found a batch of weapons abandoned by some illegal armed group, including a large number of AK47s and rocket launchers. So the situation should improve."
Kind people donate inflatable boats, and rocket launchers are picked up on the street. Why has Chen Rou never encountered such good fortune while on missions?
There must be more to this than meets the eye.
She picked up her rice bowl, took a bite of rice, and asked again, "Do you know who that kind person was?"
