Thursday, continued …Once Anna and Hou Yi ended their calls, King could not help himself "What in the world?"
Anna with her background could understand exactly what the police were doing. Effectively asking them to become informants, but making them temporary members of the police force to protect them legally.
Anna turned to Snake "You better get whoever was involved in with your previous actions as the authorities will want them."
Then turning to King, Anna said "The problem is they know that there is someone there that is feeding information out to CEO Lu and his cronies. For them the way then are going to operate is to make it seem like they are doing nothing about the crimes, except the two obvious ones involving Hou Yi and myself as the victims. Their intent, through doing this is to legally gather information in a manner that limits the prospects of CEO Lu and his cronies finding our."
"The reasons for the protection is Lion, Snake and your a.s.sociates will be entering into illegal brothels and paying, for all apparent purposes paying for services. For us, and Lion and Snake it also covers us in our directors duties. We know information that as company directors we normally would be obliged to reveal and act on. Protecting the information about the investigation means we would normally breach that obligation so it is about covering us in that respect."
"Why in the world are they taking it slow? Screw that, they need to pay."
Amanda now was annoyed. "d.a.m.n if Croc. They will be. Anna is right. It is obvious that hey have worries the information should they investigate in the normal channels would get out and that would prevent justice for Alecia let alone those girls his actions have significantly hurt. While some of us are known to hate him, nothing we do would be seen out of the norm, but we are protected, Hou Enterprises, XF International and your company as technically we should divulge it. The only problem is other that Lion and Snake the rest of you have to play dumb as you are not covered."
"Who cares!"
"Croc I d.a.m.n well care. Do you want to see that b*stard get away with what he did to Alecia?"
"No way."
"You have your answer. That same question applies to each of you. All we have to do is be careful in what we do as I do not want him to get away with hurting my new daughter let alone other peoples daughters. We need to do what is necessary for justice," came out Amanda.
Having observed the exchange King knew that the Queen and the Empress were right. IF they acted rashly CEO Lu would end us escaping justice. Quietly he said "Croc, she is right. We do not want to screw up justice for the princess. That we all want, particularly as she has only found the strength to confront what has occurred. That has to be the priority and it has the benefit that ultimately it will clean up the neighbourhood."
Lizard continued "The question is what can we do to make the b*stards pay for hurting the princess, legally?"
Shark added "Well we can squeeze Lu Corporations land in the neighbourhood impacting the ability for those illegal activities from occurring, as well as looking at other development opportunities, for example a couple of apartment complex developments and in the warehouse district that project we were considering for a sound stage and editing facilities, that your joint venture could use ..."
"Great idea Shark. If we pressure most of the facilities he uses he will consolidate activities into a couple of locations. Toff, Bug, if we did the sound stange and editing facility, would you be interested in using it?"
"King, if this had been your idea, you know …"
"Yi screw the att.i.tude. I am sick of it and it is stressing me out. Remember your promise …."
"OK Sweetheart." He leaned over and gave Anna a brief kiss. Stressing her out would not help her already risky pregnancy.
"If the pricing is compet.i.tive we will look at using the facility. We cannot say that we will, as both Hou Enterprises and XF International have various facilities around the country. But you can open it to other to use anyway."
Before the bickering could continue, there came a knock on the board room door, and a.s.sistant w.a.n.g came in. At a nod King, Lizard, Shark, Croc and Tiger all left the room, knowing what was about to happen for the others. As they exited the room, their a.s.sociates that would help arrived to all be sworn in as temporary police officers.
