As soon as the door closed behind Holly, Edward swung his attention back to his chief of security and raised his brows.

”It's a golden paperweight. I had Chen from the forensics lab swipe it for fingerprints, in case it's the Yangs trying to play with us.”

Edward chuckled incredulously. ”The Yangs do not play like this. Those cheap blokes won't waste a dime if it won't benefit them in any way.”

Apart from being criminally dangerous, the Yangs were pretty tight fisted when it came to the matter of finances.

”This is nothing to worry about Viktor, it's from a friend.”

”A friend? In Shanghai?”

Edward nodded. ”Before my father died, his best friend, a man named Tai Pin relocated from the country. He's back in town and wants to see me.”

Viktor's face held an expression that read doubt and Edward questioned it.

”Well, sir, I don't doubt the theory of your father's friend wanting to see you...”

Edward cut into his sentence, ”It's not a theory, I've been receiving such invites since I was a child.”

Viktor nodded. ”Indeed. Well, you're not the only one who received an invite.”

”Of course I'm not the only...”

It was Viktor's turn to cut in as he revealed who in particular he was referring to when he said his boss hadn't been the only invitee.

”What?” Edward had nearly shot out of his seat, but used his palms against the edge of his desk to hold himself back.

”We have been keeping close contact with them just like you asked us to and we discovered he received an invite to the party, long before you and is already in Shanghai.”

”And?”

”Well of course I didn't read any meaning into it until today when you got an invite as well.”

Edward sighed as he thought on what his right hand man had just told him. Jinn Yang had been invited to the Pins party before him. Jinn Yang was already in Shanghai before him.

This came as a shock to Edward because the Yangs and The Pins didn't know each other. Well, they hadn't known each other twelve years ago when the family was relocating.

The only existing relationship, Edward could account for, between the family was mafia based and it wasn't direct. If they had known each other at all it couldn't have been on personal levels.

Even his own father hadn't been particularly close with the Yangs so when and how had the two families met?

There were so many questions to ask concerning this recent development, but Edward wasn't sure who he could ask. The only way to find out information was to hear directly from the horse's mouth.

Since he had set up a team to go after the Yangs, they had made hits on the family's drug stash, warehouses and business outfits often setting up uninvolved small gangs as the culprits.

So far, the family had no inkling as to who was really attacking them. They had innocent people locked up in their dungeon and the spies Edward had planted reported Jinn Yang blaming the attacks on their recent growth amongst the mafia.
