Wednesday, continued …

Despite seeing a look of determination pa.s.s on Hou Yi's face Officer Mu knew he was deflated . While it might end up costing him his job, he knew he needed to do more than was expected to support someone in this situation . This time Inspector Gang had gone beyond anything that was acceptable, and what was worse was that Senior Officer Fang allowed him to do it .

"CEO Hou," said Officer Mu quietly .

It took a few seconds before Hou Yi reacted, and quietly said "Yes . "

"We need to talk about what happened . At this point, I actually do not care if talking to you and backing you and Madam Hou up costs me my job with the police . "

"It sounds like you are about to tell me something that you know others within the police department may not like . If it comes to is, and you lose your job, come to Hou Enterprises . We always have openings for honest, hardworking people within the business . "

"Thank You CEO Hou …"

"Officer Mu, I think in the circ.u.mstances you can call me Yi . "

"Thank you, sir . My name is Tong . "

"Tong, what did you need to say . "

"I need to be honest with you . Remember when I spoke to you and Madam Hou at your home about the a.s.sault at the Key Plaza Hotel, and I threatened her with wasting police time . " Officer Mu turned to Hou Yi and noticed that he was nodding his head .

"I never intended to pursue that but was using it to scare her into telling me the truth . I immediately felt that something was not right about her relations.h.i.+ps with Lu Jinhu and you . I was seriously concerned about her being the victim of violence in the home and wanted her to talk to me, so that I could act to ensure that the was protected . "

"It was not me . "

"I know that now Sir . "

"Other than two brief face to face meetings before the day we married, our relations.h.i.+p was carried out in secret, and we communicated through instant messaging applications . When the mood took us, we would message each other and simply talk that way . At the time we first met, my wife was in a relations.h.i.+p with Lu Jinhu . "

"I never pushed her about her relations.h.i.+p, as doing that would be disrespecting her . I had accepted that if all that could happen was, we were friends, then that would be enough for me . For me, right from the start her happiness was all that I wanted . I understand from early on in our communications she was questioning if her relations.h.i.+p with Lu Jinhu was what she wanted . "

"However, to cut a long story short, things developed, and we eventually married . The first night we spent together was the night that we obtained our marriage certificate . While that, in today's world seems unconventional, I know my wife and I have no regrets about that fact . "

"Actually sir, before your press release last Thursday and your press conference Monday, I had already reached out to police in Australia and had enough information that led me to believe that the person who was abusive towards Madam Hou was Lu Jinhu . "

"What, does anyone else know you have this information?" Hou Yi was shocked that in just two weeks, through some inquiries Officer Mu was able to reach a conclusion that Lu Jinhu was violent towards Anna . Hou Yi wondered what he had found out .

"I tried to tell Inspector Gang and Senior Officer Fang, but they dismissed me . "

"What did you find out?"

"According to the few officers that I had spoken to about Madam Hou, she was, despite defending criminals, was well respected by the police . She did not mess then around, was honest, professional and ethical . One officer remembered an incident from just over two years ago, and he was going to search records to find all the information to provide me . I have not received it yet . "

"What this officer told me, was that he was called to scene of a two-vehicle car accident . The car that Madam Hou and Lu Jinhu were traveling in was. .h.i.t from behind . From what he can remember, everyone was injured, but Madam Hou's injuries were the most serious and the only ones that required transportation to hospital for treatment . "

"From what he can remember the balance of the injuries could simply be seen to by their personal doctors, rather than wasting hospital emergency department time . The officer indicated that the only reason he recalled the accident was by witnesses to the accident as at the scene that Lu Jinhu was aggressive, angry, abusive and threatening . He had to keep Lu Jinhu from everyone else . "
