Although Chen Rou could have told a white lie to coax Wu Yaozu into working for her, she chose to be honest. "Officer Wu, the damage caused by radioactive elements to the human body is untreatable now, and it will remain so in the future."
A devoted son might be a mama's boy and a poor husband, but he is undeniably a good son. Wu Yaozu was such a man; the fact that his mother had fallen ill because of him was something he could not accept.
Furthermore, his partnership with Yu Zhenghong ran deep. He had more than one innocent life on his hands, making it difficult to convince him to turn state’s witness. He would surely demand significant conditions—money, top-tier doctors, and the relocation of himself and his mother abroad. The Nie Family could certainly afford such demands, but Chen Rou had no intention of doing so. Dragging the process out was not her style.
