“thanks I received your envelope, I will call you if I need more help from you” said Joel and hang up before Ray entered

“ you call me in, in such a hurry what's going on?” Ray asked

Joel just handed him the envelope “ you will understand when you see this”

Ray looked at Joel with questioning and took out the photos and papers from the envelope and was stunned by seeing it “ are you telling me that Michael is the one we are looking for?”

Joel shook his head “ I don't know but I find his actions kind of suspicious, for more than a month ago I saw Sheh zhi wah on season club talking to Michael and when I asked Michael he denied the fact she was there, after that I hired a detective to find more information and spy on Michael and find that he have interactions with one of Choi Longs territory leader Oscar Leung. I just think you should be aware of this.”

Ray nodded “ even if this looks suspicious I still believe in Michael I don't think he will betray me or Cheng Long”

“ I know you will say this. Just remember that I have warned you about this. Even if you trust him to hundred I still have doubts about him” Joel declared

17:00 pm Nr1 Bar

Tavia have been wiping the same glass for over minutes due to loss in her thoughts about Ron and the conversation she had with Bosco. Scenes from that night was still popping up in her mind every now and then, how he used his body to cover her from getting beaten up.

Charm entered and everyone greeted except Tavia since she was still in her thoughts, Charm walked closer and studied her “ how long have she been standing there?” she asked one of the employer who passed by “ she have been standing there since I came here for twenty minutes ago and have been wiping the same glass over two minutes now” he answered before he continue his way down.

Charm nodded and walked up to her “ how are you doing?” she asked and waged her hand in front of her to get her attention

Tav came back to reality “oh, sorry zhi wah djeh I didn't notice your appearance. What do you want?”

Charm gave out a smirk “ I don't want anything I asked you how are you doing?”

Tav smiled awkwardly “ I'm just fine, haven't slept that well this days but I'm ok” she stated

Charm looked at Tav with carrying “ I understand, you may still be in a chock if you want you can take some day off I think the other can handle it”

Tav shook her head lightly “ No, I will be fine, beside working can make me to think of other things. I think it's better for me”

“No one knows better than yourself but remember if you really don't feel safe or well just tell me.” Charm said

Tav smiled lightly “ thanks zhi wah djeh, I my not be as tough as you but I think I can handle this”

Charm raised her eyebrows after hearing this “ you are tough enough to say that. I believe you. But remember not to tell anyone about what happen to Ron.” said Charm and continued after seeing the questioning face of Tavia “ you know Ron is the territory leader for this area if other people get to know that he is injured and staying in the hospital they will use this opportunity. So less people to know this the smaller is the chance for other people to find out”

Tav nodded in understanding “ I will keep my mouth shut”

“good, well from now on until he is back I will be taking care of this area but I don't have that much time so please help and have an eye and an ear on things going around this area” Charm said with a serious tone

“ I will do my best, if I see any changes I will contact you” Tav convinced her

“ great then I don't need to worry too much” said Charm and winked before she leaved the bar

17:35pm Fungs Bar

Ray sat inside his office and had the evidence Joel gave him in front of him. He didn't doubt that this evidence was real but how couldn't believe that one of his best buddy's was actually a traitor. They have been through so much and Michael have always showed hatred towards Choi Long and disrespect for Charm as a leader, was all this just an act? Ray shook his head he really didn't know what he should do and what was going on. If this was true and he handed this evidence for the others it would make Choi Long to no choice but save Michael but if this was just a misunderstanding Michael will be dead in no time and he will lose one of his best buddy and a good helper.

Ray rested his head in his palm this was giving him headache, if he made the wrong decision Michael would be dead and his family will be bearing the name of traitor forever. “ah!” Ray shouted and leaned back to the chair and took a deep breath his mind was clear he know what he should do.

22:05pm Shehs mansion @ Kongs office

Jade walked in closed the door behind and turned around “ low djeh”

“mm” answered Kong who stood at the window and looked out at the driveway “ so how is things going? Zhi wah are later than usual this days something happen in Choi Long?”

Jade shook her head “ no everything is like usual in Choi Long, zhi wah may have thing to do at KLC. Low djeh you don't need to worry” she tried to convince him

“is it so?” asked Kong with challenge still looking out

“ if any unusual things happen on Choi Long I will inform you, so don't think to much” said Jade with a steady voice

Kong shook his head lightly and turned around at the same time when Charms car rolled into the driveway

“ Jade ah, how long have you been working for me? Don't you think I can hear when you are lying or not.” informed Kong with a modicum of anger. Jade lowered her head

“ So you where lying just now” said Kong and looked at Jade who now was facing him “ low djeh you...”

“ yes, I couldn't hear if you where lying or not, if you weren't lying and felt guilt I couldn't play a prank on you. You have just yourself to blame” Kong said and walked up to her “ so what have happen on Choi Long that you are willing to hide it from me?”

“ low djeh I didn't mean to hide anything from you just that Zhi wah told me not to tell you and I don't want to break that promise” Jade defended

“ Jade, in all this years you have give me the information I wanted, how many times haven't you already break the promises?” said Kong to remind her Jade lower her head and nodded it was true she have break the promises to many times that she even have lost the count

When Kong saw the nod he continued “ so tell me what have happen in Choi Long?” Charm who was about to knock stopped when she accidentally eavesdrops the sentence and freezed

“For some days ago Ron get attacked and are now in the hospital, that's why Zhi wah is later than usual” Jade said

Charm on the other end of the door was chocked she have never expected that the one who secretly give information to her grandfather would be Jade of all persons, she was actually one of the last persons she would ever suspect

“ It have happen something like this?! And you are telling me now? So how are Zhi wah planning to do? She isn't letting this go that easily right?” Kong said with frustration in this time the door open and Charm walked in “ if grandpah you really want to know how I'm going to handle it, it's better for you to ask me personally than ask a third part” said Charm with attitude and had her gaze on Jade. Jade on the other hand was stunned by seeing her and guilty could bee seen all over her face
