Chapter 284 - You did what?

13 April, Warren Gong's Villa, City K

After ending the call, Warren picked up the cup sitting on his desk and threw it across the room allowing it to smash into the wall. The idiot. She risked them so much, simply for the need to control money and beat the main Yao family. That loser of a husband of hers, with the attitude instilled by his parents and grandparents about how their branch of the family had been cheated from their rightful inheritance of Jax Corp was problematic. He would love to have him wiped off the face of the earth, but that would simply drive his sister back to him.

The problem for the two of them was the cutting out of his branch of the family's inheriting anything with respect to Jax Corp was appropriate. Before his sister married into a minor branch of the Yao family, his father had investigated the family to find out the clear separation from the main branch of the Yao family. His brother-in-law's great grandfather was the younger of the twin sons of his generation of the main Yao family and his great-grandfather founded the business that had morphed into Jax Corp. The younger son's actions even made the actions of his great-grandfather in establishing the Gong Cartel and parlaying that into the legitimate businesses seem mild. He left so much carnage behind that it had almost brought the whole Yao family to their knees justifying paying him to terminate his inheritance rights which every subsequent generation believed harsh, but well justified.

That information was something he did not want to currently use to control his out of control sister and brother-in-law because it was a onetime only control measure.

Warren's chain of thoughts was interrupted with a knock, and one of his subordinates entered saying "Boss, you have a visitor."

Surprised, Warren said "Who?"

"Mr Devil…"

Warren wondered why he would come here without any notice; it much be something important and he needed to know why. "Show him in," came the somewhat questioning response. Why would he be here?

Within seconds, the Devil was shown in, and said "We need to talk urgently"

Directing him to a couch, Warren observed that the Devil had noticed the broken cup against the wall as they both moved, but he did not react. Knowing he needed to put his professional stills to put his professional skills to use, he said "I hate to rush you today, but I have some legitimate work to do…"

"And deal with the frustration that lead to that broken cup?"

Rather than allowing the Devil to figure out his concerns about him and his minions, Warren said "My sister…"

"That is why I am here. About a week ago, some of my associates drew my attention to the fact that your sister was attempting to recruit people to do something for her. Through a cut-out system, I made contact and determined that she had two things to do. Firstly, she wanted to attack her former daughter-in-law and her new husband to cause harm and additionally to kidnap her grandson if that did not achieve her desired results. I did some investigation of the people she was in contact with, and realised that they were people who not only would easily be traced to her and implicate you, they were tied to some of your enemies."

"That b*tch, simply because I will not pander to her!"

"What is happening in your family, is your problem. My concern was that her actions risked exposure to the authorities for both of us. So that you have plausible deniability using the same cut-out system I arranged for some thugs, with connections to one of your enemies, who thought I was connected to them to contact your sister for her own activities…"

"Which group?"

"Tang Gang."

"Those idiots, those thugs. They believe that they are the best of the underworld gangs, and viciously attack others. They have slowly moved south from their base in the capital to here and over the last twelve months have targeted a number of the smaller groups, either taking them over or decimating them to the point that they do not go against them. All to establish a base to go against us, and the other top tier groups here. Provided they did not touch our bottom line, we and the others did not touch them because we did not want to draw attention to activities. The problem is that their activities have exposed much of our activities here, and to a point elsewhere in the country…"

"Hence why I wanted to use them. My sources already are telling me that they have been saying how they used your stupid sister…"

The lightbulb hit Warren, "But you made sure that all the links are back to them, so when the authorities start to make the connections, the only link to us is my sister, and I have already made it clear to businesses that I will no longer be responsible for any bills she or my brother-in-law run up, so it comes across that they are using a disgruntled sibling cut off from the family wealth to hit at her brother…"

"Hence protecting both of us."

Warren paused and said, "I can see why you kept this quiet as you wanted me to react as others would."

"Absolutely, but I knew that it had to be said to your face, rather than telephone because that would implicate us. Now, I cannot stay, but we need to meet in the next week to talk through plans."

"Just get me the message where and when you want to meet," was Warren's response.

After they shook hands, Warren watched the Devil stand up and walk out the door. As he moved, Warren quietly thought to himself 'You think I am dumb. You are using this as part of your plans. The question is what is it.'

As he pulled out a piece of paper to add to his notes of concern, his public mobile rang and as he answered it, he surprisingly heard Sally Nang's voice on the other end of the phone say "Professor…"
