Chen Rou didn't join their conversation and quietly withdrew. Seeing that the ship had already docked at the pier, she looked at the location and remembered that this was the same large pier where she and Nie Han had been tied up and hung down years ago.
Because the water is deep enough and the dock is large enough, ships can moor directly.
The sky was overcast and the wind was blowing hard, looking like it was about to rain.
However, all the soldiers had assembled within 5 minutes. From now on, their job was to salvage the sunken collection box containing Gui Touchang's wealth. But they only had about 7 hours, because by 2 a.m., they had to meet with the local police and the head of ICPO Asia Pacific.
It was hot at sea during the day, so Chen Rou wore a sleeveless white T-shirt. When she got off the ship, she found that the cool breeze was blowing and it was actually a bit cold. But just as she was about to get back on the ship to change her clothes, the ship left.
But then large raindrops began to fall. Seeing a dilapidated guard post nearby, but with its roof still intact, Chen Rou covered her head with her hands and ran forward.
But as she was running, someone caught up with her from behind and draped a sweaty suit jacket over her shoulders.
Chen Rou was still running when she glanced at Boss Nie, who now had a scraggly beard and greasy hair. She pulled him into the guard post. The raindrops pattered down as the two of them stood in the guard post, looking outside.
But of course, they were both laughing.
Suddenly, Chen Rou said, "I thought you wouldn't dare come to this place."
Nie Zhao nodded, but said, "Keep your voice down, or the baby will think his dad is a coward."
Chen Rou was never aware that she was pregnant.
But every time she saw Nie Zhao, she would think of him, but she would subconsciously touch her belly and say, "He's only the size of an egg, he can't hear anything."
Nie Zhao gently stroked his wife's flat belly and said, "The baby's heart will develop first, and then there will be a fetal heartbeat. Then there will be a big head. The ears are the first thing it will have, so it can hear what we say."
Chen Rou said, "You're just an ordinary person. It's normal to be timid and scared. The child won't laugh at you."
But Nie Zhao shook his head and said firmly, "I am not."
He added, "I am at least the bravest father in all of Hong Kong."
Chen Rou murmured to herself, thinking that while others might have a heavy idol image to maintain, Boss Nie's father image seemed to be a bit too much as well.
Fortunately, he didn't blame her, nor did he look at her with those resentful eyes, nor did he use the excuse of the child's well-being to blackmail her or put moral pressure on her. He didn't make Chen Rou feel disgusted, so she was in a better mood.
But there was something even better that made Chen Rou happy, even to the point that she could forget about the future of her demobilized comrades.
Wade strode over, holding several umbrellas. He handed the largest one to Nie Zhao, gesturing for him to open it. He smiled at Chen Rou and said, "Madam, a container has already been loaded onto the ship's winch and will be out of the water soon. Would you please go and inspect the results of your operation?"
He truly deserves the title of a self-made young tycoon who was able to rise directly into the circle of wealthy people by following Nie Zhao.
Look how eloquent he is! He made Chen Rou overjoyed with just a few words.
Yes, she really wanted to know what exactly was inside Gui Tou Chang's gold and silver treasures.
