Chen Rou's heart skipped a beat, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
As the saying goes, hardship makes people diligent, while ease makes people lazy. After being a pampered housewife for a few days, she had become somewhat spoiled.
You should know that even the new bodyguards, such as Ram and Sam, are already familiar with the roads in Hong Kong, but she isn't.
Normally, she would familiarize herself with the map and terrain of every city she visited, but she's been lazy lately because she has a driver.
It was late at night, and Hong Kong Island was just a tiny place, but when she looked outside, she couldn't tell where she was for a moment.
Chen Rou felt a little ashamed because if someone were to snipe Nie Zhao at this moment, she might suffer because she was unfamiliar with the terrain, causing Nie Zhao to get injured. This was a lesson she needed to learn and reflect upon.
Of course, she dared not joke around anymore. She put her hand on the gun, observed the outside, and identified the location.
Nie Zhao's hands were trembling, which proved that he must be extremely panicked inside.
But his expression remained calm. He turned on the lights and pulled over to the side of the road. He opened the document compartment on the center console and took out a map. His voice was trembling, but his tone was light and cheerful: "Don't worry too much. Let me study the map first."
By observing the outside, Chen Rou had a general idea of the location and knew which way to go.
But before she could give Nie Zhao directions, he spoke first: "Where is the seven-inch spot of Gui Tou Rong that you just mentioned?"
He shook the map, still frowning, but his tone was light: "I'm very curious, tell me quickly."
Chen Rou raised an eyebrow and asked tentatively, "Have you found your way home?"
Nie Zhao closed the map, turned off the overhead light, and the car was plunged into darkness. He said, "Not yet, but let's talk about Gui Tou Rong first. I'll call Uncle Ming in a bit and have him send someone to pick us up."
So he actually knows how to play the straight man, but he was a step too slow because he got lost.
He couldn't even find his way home, and he couldn't even read the map, but what did it matter? Someone would come to pick him up anyway.
Seeing that his wife was still very nervous, he awkwardly bent over and reached over to press down on the center partition of the back seat.
There are only two seats in the back of this car, with a partition in between that is quite high.
Just now, when he went to find his wife, he did it in a very undignified way, straddling the partition to specifically look for her.
It was only at this moment that Chen Rou realized that the partition in the middle was actually a mini refrigerator, with several bottles of drinks inside.
Nie Zhao gave her a can of iced cola, took a bottle of mineral water for himself, and said, "Shall we talk while we drink?"
He added, "Since we have nothing else to do, let's rest here for a bit."
In her previous life, Chen Rou traveled all over the world and was quite knowledgeable.
She had seen and rescued wealthy people during her missions, but she represented the country and only rescued people. She had no contact with the daily lives of the wealthy. Also, because of her upbringing, like Song Yuanchao, she always had an inexplicable aversion and resistance to the wealthy, and the same was true for Nie Zhao, she naturally resisted him.
But at this moment, after she had fought a fierce battle and resolved a crisis, holding an ice-cold can of Coke, sitting in the comfortable back seat of her Rolls-Royce and looking at Nie Zhao again, the feeling was quite peculiar.
It's probably the kind of relaxed and composed feeling that only wealthy and intelligent people possess. In terms of physical strength and combat skills, any bodyguard could easily crush Nie Zhao, not to mention Chen Rou's comrades from her previous life, each of whom could take on ten of Nie Zhao. But even without an advantage in physical strength, he still possesses a certain kind of strength, a kind of power that is unmatched.
He made Chen Rou feel that he was not a burden, but a companion, which was quite rare.
Chen Rou popped open a can of cola, tilted her head back and drank half of it in one gulp before saying, "Actually, I don't know where his 'seven-inch' is. I can only guess that it should be on the sole of his foot or some acupoint at Sanyinjiao. There are more than 300 acupoints on the human body, and at least more than 100 of them can be used as the 'seven-inch'. It's not easy to find it."
Nie Zhao leaned to the side, one hand resting on the steering wheel. The streetlight illuminated his high, straight nose, casting a graceful curve. His voice was deep and gentle: "Isn't it above our heads?"
Both Gui Tou Rong and Qing Tou Bei have the character "tou" (head) in their names, and both were killed by Chen Rou by having their heads blown off. Therefore, Nie Zhao, like Liang Lisheng, thought that their Achilles' heel was their heads, but that wasn't the case.
“No. They practice a kind of 'childhood kung fu,' training their heads every day from a young age. Their skulls are unusually hard, so it's impossible for them to have seven inches in their heads.” Chen Rou took another sip of cola and said, “But there is one spot on their heads that they deliberately avoid, never training in it, only maintaining the state of a normal person.”
As she spoke, she suddenly reached out her hand. Nie Zhao instinctively wanted to dodge, but after turning his head, he stopped and let his wife touch the scar on his wound that had recently had its stitches removed. She then said, "Baihui!"
She gently stroked his raised scar with her fingers and asked, "Do you remember how Gui Tou Chang tortured you back then? He must have used a torture device, right? It was put over your head, like electrocution, right?"
Recalling that harrowing night, Nie Zhao was clearly unhappy. Of course, he had experienced unimaginable pain that night and didn't want to relive it. But he nodded with difficulty and said, "Yes."
He then asked, "Is there a relationship between these two?"
Yes, there really is.
The reason why Gui Tou Chang conspired with Yu Zheng Rong and went to Hong Kong to kidnap the richest man was to block the anti-bandit troops who were transiting through Hong Kong. They were eager to get flight information from Nie Zhao, so they tied him up and beat him, handcuffed him and interrogated him. However, Nie Zhao seemed to be very resolute and refused to talk. Gui Tou Chang then used the ultimate move on him.
Baihui acupoint, also known as Tianlinggai, is located five inches directly above the hairline. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is called the convergence of all yang energies and the source of consciousness and awareness. In modern Western science, it is also called ESP, extrasensory perception.
