Offer To The CEO

Chapter 204 - Firing Back - Part 10



Wednesday, continued...

Yao Tan, took a close look at his friend, and realised that he was thinking about something else. "Yi, you have something else on your mind about this whole situation. Tell me, so I can see what I can do to help."

"Last night I felt so stupid that I did not do what I wanted to do, and beat Lu Jinhu up for what he did ..."

"Yi, I was there. You might not have seen me, but I absolutely saw what happened. My first reaction was that I was disappointed in you that you did not react. You, like me, were brought up to respect and protect the women in your life, and I thought that you failed your wife. I was going to call you out on that. Shortly after you left, Amanda and I left as I knew I would not be able to contain my reaction if I ran into them."

"As I took Amanda to her place, we talked about what happened. She told me that she believed you had done the right thing. As we debated it as she explained it to me, one of the most common thing that every Lawyer learns regardless of where they are in the world, is the importance of respecting the law. You do not react and commit an offence because you want revenge, it is the justice system in your country that gives you that revenge."

"As she said, what she learnt when part of her course covered different legal systems and what she got out of the different systems that she studied was if you punched him there and then you would have broken the law, but if the court had given you permission to do that as part of the legal system, then it was alright. It took me a time to get my head around that, but she was right. Not reacting, actually sets you apart from him, and most importantly you are showing the woman that you love that you respect everything that makes her what she is."

"When in the world did you get poetic like that?"

"Every since ..."

"You and Amanda. I thought you swore, because her family and your family, when she was 18 tried to force you into an arranged marriage you would have nothing to do with her."

"She has grown on me. When she came to visit her father, we would stop and chat and about 3 months ago, we started quietly dating. There is no way I want her family to know about it. Now stop distracting me, I know you well enough that you have something planned, as you would not have agreed to the Mall project as quickly as you did."

"You know me too well. I want to bring down Lu Corporation. Its money that has made Lu Jinhu believe he is above the law, and can get away with thing like he did last night. You know, he and the witch of a wife of his, even tried to convince, despite the family connection with Fengs, the police that we had 'stolen' the wedding rings the had requested subject to approval."

"The staff are not that idiotic, to allow someone else to purchase rings if a VIP customer has requested a specific set be made available to viewing. No, the worst thing, and I do not know if it was stupidity or arrogance and a belief that it would never be found out, but apparently CEO Lu had spoken with the police officer who assaulted my wife, and given him the questions to ask my wife."

"Goodness knows what else he was involved in during the whole incident, but I suspect it is even more than my wife was able to get him to admit to. You should see what she did in the police interview, with the truth she was able to twist out so much information from the investigator that indicated a lot behind the situation."

"Now, I am doing it to myself, getting distracted with what happened. I want to bring Lu Corporation down. Without the backing Lu Jinhu would not have the guts to do what he has done, and Yang Lin's family wealth given the deep interconnections between her family's businesses and Lu Corporation will severely impact them. Plus it will deal with CEO Lu as well, as he will loose power. But ...."
