Chapter 144 - Causing Trouble

18 January, Military Base, City K

Hearing the woman inside the Porsche demanding to see Colonel Rong, shocked the six guards on duty at the main entry gate. They each looked at the other, but all quickly realised that this was one of the social elites within the city, so messing with them would cause a problem. However, it was an open secret around the base that Colonel Rong had married, but no one knew about his wife.

The two most senior guards on duty turned to each other and one quietly said, "There is no way that she would be the Colonel's wife."

The other responded "Just to be on the safe side, we better telephone and get instructions on what to do. The last thing we need to do is create a problem."

As the first one was about to pick up the telephone to make that call Major Hung came into their sight. They figured he would be easier to ask rather than having to try and contact someone.

Robert Hung, however, was not paying attention to what was happening at the main entry gate. He had been walking around the base, attempting to gather his thoughts before he met with his cousin over the weekend. They both knew that now was the key time to put them into a position to launch their final attack and bring down the government and get their revenge on what the state did to their family.

As he moved closer to the gate, his thoughts were interrupted by two soldiers who approached him.

As they snapped a salute, they said "Major."

Noticing them, and looking around seeing a Porsche at the main gate, he asked "What is the problem?"

"Major, the woman in the vehicle is demanding to see Colonel Rong, claiming she was his wife. He did not notify us that anyone would be coming to see him, nor do we have a name to even say who is here."

Robert paused for a second. This was something he could exploit to cause some trouble within the ranks. When it was later clarified, the discontent caused even for a little while would be challenging for Colonel Rong to deal with. The Ranks would distrust him, because of him hiding not only his family wealth, but who his wife was.

He quickly looked around and noticed that there was no senior officers around, to prevent him exploiting the situation, as they had figured out he was a member of the Rong family that owned JL International, and while the name of his wife had been passed around, it would not be out of their ability to make the link that she was a member of the Yao family.

"Gentleman, I am aware that Colonel Rong has married, but I have no idea how he or his wife would have the money to drive, what I know is the late model Porsche over there. That worries me. Let me see who the person is."

"Yes Sir." Robert Hung immediately saw that he had sown seeds in the men mind. There had been rumours around various areas within the military that some senior officers had been using their position to enrich themselves. This would spread like wildfire and cause some discontent in the ranks. Undermining Colonel Rong, even if for a little while, time and time again would create a groundswell that would see him, and those men who came soon after him moved.

As he went to the driver's window, he observed the woman in the vehicle. He had, even before David had shown him the photographs that he had saved from his last base, he had seen photographs of Lexi Yao, and he was certain this was her. "Miss can I help you?"

"I told them I wanted to see my husband now get him here."

"Miss can I have your name, and who is you wish to see. I need to determine if you are authorised to enter or seek clearance." Robert could see that he was angering Lexi Yao, and that was what he needed.

He could sense that the soldiers behind him were getting tense. Perfect, that was showing the arrogance of rich second or subsequent generation people, and when Colonel Rong's background was exposed to the ranks, they would think he was like his wife.

"I told them; I want to see my husband Matthew Rong. Call him and tell him is extremely annoyed wife is at the gate being refused the opportunity to see him."

"Please calm down. There is no need to be angry and aggressive."

"Just shut up. I want you to get him here," shouted Lexi.

"Miss step out of the vehicle," responded Robert.

Looking around Lexi realised that the guards has heard her and in observing them they were ready to remove her is she refused. Damn, it should not be so difficult to see her Matthew. They had to have some things out to make things a little easier for Dominic, and now they had to deal with Richard's parents as well.

Picking up her handbag and phone she climbed out of the Porsche and moved away from it. One of the guards climbed into it and as they started to drive it into the nearby car park, she cringed to see the way it was being driven.

Men, they had no idea how to drive a piece of precision engineering normally. Now you have these idiots that only how to drive big military equipment with no idea driving it. Lexi knew that would mean the car would need to be serviced soon to check for damage.

Standing there, Lexi dialled Matthew's number. As he answered, angrily she said, "Get yourself down to the main gate I need to talk to you now," before ending the call.

Watching her Robert Hung noticed that her clothes were couture clothes. This was so good, playing into the narrative he wanted the junior members to run with.

Less than five minutes later, Matthew arrived at the gate and observed what he knew to be Lexi's Porsche Macan in the car park, and noticed the standoff between Lexi, the guards at the gate and the whole situation being observed by Major Hung.

Matthew was furious that Lexi had ditched those assigned to protect her and as he moved in close, he said "Lexi what are you doing here?"
