Chapter 144 - Causing Trouble (1/2)
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.”
