Offer To The CEO

230 Arrest - Part 1

Thursday, afternoon

Hou Yi\'s mobile started ringing, and on seeing that the call was from Officer Mu, he quickly answered the call "Officer Mu, what can I do for you?"

"CEO Hou, I have been speaking to the investigators, and we have news that we need to share with you and Madam Hou.If it possible for me to meet you both.I understand that Madam Hou still remains in Hospital."

"When did you want to do that?"

"In an hour, if possible."

"I will meet you there.By the way, my sister-in-law will also be there, as she has come over from Australia to be with her sister.Could you please speak English as that it she only language she understands."

"Not an issue CEO Hou.I will see you then."

With that Officer Mu ended the call.Hou Yi called Assistant Wang into the office, and explained that he would be gone for the rest of the day, before closing up his laptop, and packing his briefcase, exiting his office and the building.

Forty-five Minutes later.

Hou Yi walked into the VIP suite, and found Anna and Rosemary sitting laughing."Ladies what is so funny"

"You should have seen your wife just before.We were working on some of the necessary exercises with her legs to start to regain strength and her face …"

Anna picked up a cushion and threw it at Rosemary.

"I am guessing that this is one of these things that I had to be here for."

"You might be right" came Rosemary, still trying not to laugh too hard.

"Anna, Officer Mu is going to he here in about ten or so minutes.He indicated that there is an update on the investigation."With that Hou Yi sat down beside Anna.

Rosemary looked at the two of them, and figured that the best thing was to say "Does anyone want a hot drink?"

Hou Yi and Anna, said almost in unison "Black Tea with a lemon wedge."

Rosemary wandered off and made a coffee for her and the teas for Anna and Hou Yi.As she sat them down on the coffee table, there was a knock on the door, and someone entered.

"CEO and Madam Hou …"

"Come in Officer Mu.This lady here is my sister-in-law Rosemary Jones."

"Miss Jones."

"Actually it is Mrs Jones, but just call me Rosemary."

"CEO and Madam Hou, Mrs Jones.There is about to be a televised press conference about what happened last week.Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin have just been taken into the custody of the investigators for questioning.Could I suggest that you turn the television on, and I think the press conference will give you more information that I can tell you."

Hou Yi picked up the television remote, and turned the television on, and located a new channel, which had English subtitles for Rosemary.

Up to the microphones on the screen stepped a someone in a uniform, who commenced speaking."Ladies and Gentlemen of the press.We thank you for attending this press conference.There will be no questions taken after this, but the information that we have to impart to the press is of importance."

"As many people know, on Tuesday night last week, the wife of CEO Hou from Hou Enterprises, Madam Hou Anna, was assaulted at the charitable theatre performance by former Vice-CEO Lu Jinhu of Lu Corporation and Madam LU, Yang Lin.Since then there was an incident where Madam Hou, when she was speaking to the police on Wednesday was seriously assaulted that resulted in her hospitalisation."

Hou Yi, Anna and Rosemary simply sat there taking in the recounting of facts that they already knew.Hearing it so bluntly for Anna, was a shock to her.It was her life that they had been messing with.Yes there was some good to have come out of it.She married Hou Yi, the man that she loves, whereas if she had married that idiot Lu Jinhu she would have never had the happy life she was hopeful would eventually come her way with Hou Yi.

All Anna could do was lean back into Hou Yi\'s arms where she knew she was safe.Hou Yi, when Anna did this, started to loose focus on what was occurring during the police press conference.It felt perfect, despite their location to have his wife in his arms.At least at the moment he could provide her with comfort and support hearing her life set out in such black and white terms on national television.

"Social media posts have led us in investigating the incident that occurred at the police station last week, where Madam Hou suffered a broken leg and concussion.The investigations from that social media posts, have determined both former Vice-CEO and Madam Lu, bribed both police officers who were speaking to Madam Hou to ensure that she was injured."

"Consequently, the two police officers involved have not only been charged with the assault, but bribery charges.Former Vice-CEO and Madam Lu were arrested earlier this afternoon, and have bee charged with multiple charges.Madam Lu faces charges over bribery, assault, engaging in corporate espionage, stalking and criminal slander."

"Former Vice-CEO has these charges plus in addition charges for aggravated violence towards a former partner, and illegally attempting to enforce invalid and legally revoked court orders.The signature that was relied on to obtain the orders has been proven by Australian Analysis to be a forgery.Police technical staff have verified that the analysis is correct."

"In undertaking these investigations, multiple rumours have arisen that former Vice-CEO Lu\'s actions towards Madam Hou are not a one off.Rumours exist as to multiple physical and sexual assaults of women and other violence.We are calling for any victims of actions of whether former Vice-CEO Lu or Madam Lu to come forward to enable us to lay an additional charges.

"Finally, we can confirm that the initial charges against the former VIce-CEO Lu and Madam Lu are scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, provided Madam Hou is released from the hospital.If she is not, these matters will go before the courts on Monday.The charges against the police officers will be dealt with in due course by the central prosecuting authorities in the capital.Thank you."

With that the official left the podium, and the press conference faded out.
