Offer To The CEO

Wednesday, continued …

"Gentlemen he is meant to meet CEO Lu at the fountain near the east entrance to the Remembrance park."

"Thank you, Assistant Wang. OK two groups get there immediately, two groups tag along behind the car, but not following too close. I will follow separately. Let us get going."

As the group headed to the elevator, the bodyguard that was speaking made a phone call "Security Level Red, Threat Level Red. Lockdown until advised otherwise. The Young Madam was heading home but call Bravo Team and advise them to return either to Hou Enterprises or the apartment, whichever they are closest to, as it will take too long to return there, Repeat Security Level Red, Threat Level Red."

A minute later …

The Bodyguards accompanying Anna back the the ancestral home, received the emergency notification, and the one in the passenger seat, turned to make sure Anna was secure in the seat. "Young Madam, we have to alter our plans, and will immediately go to the apartment for safety."

"What is going on?"

"At present we do not know but will find out."

Before Anna could say anything more, the driver increased the speed of the vehicle, and they arrived at the entrance to the apartment within 7 minutes. The guards, unusually from Anna's perspective all moved to surrounded the vehicle, with one helping her out and onto her crutches. As she slowly moved towards the elevator, she noticed three guards had weapons drawn, and were looking around. The stood outside the elevator until she and the two guards that accompanied her were inside. Even as the doors were shutting, Anna observed those outside still had their weapons drawn.

As the doors shut, the guards inside the elevator with Anna, seemed to relax a little, which really started to worry her. As she went to start to speak, the guard who spoke in the car said, "Young Madam, we will explain everything when we are inside the apartment, which is secure."

A minute later, Anna had exited the elevator and had moved into the lounge area and was sitting down. "What is going on?"

"Apologies Young Madam. We received an Alert from Hou Enterprises that there was an immediate threat to the family, and everyone was ordered to be locked down in a secure location, either at Hou Enterprises, here or at the ancestral home. The closest location for you is here. The Elder Master, Elder Madam and First Master, where with your brother and nephews at one of the Elder Master's friends, three minutes drive from the Ancestral home. They arrived back there within five minutes of the alert. Miss Rosemary was back from accompanying you to the hospital, and the First Madam, Second Madam, Miss Rbecca and your nieces had just arrived back from a shopping trip. They are all secure."

"And my husband is still at Hou Enterprises, thank goodness."

"Sorry Young Madam, he is not …"

"Where in the world is he?"

"Young Madam, he was the one that initiated the lock down, with this weeks key words. All we know is that he has gone to a particular location in Remembrance Park"

Anna immediately knew that she was starting to get stressed out, and this would not be good for the baby, so she took a few deep breaths, and pulled out her phone, dialing Assistant Wang "Assistant Wang, where is my husband."

"Young Madam, I have been ordered not to tell you that …"

"You better tell me now." Anna, by now was getting more angrier with each second, not knowing what was happening to her love. "I need to know."

"Young Madam, the Young Master made it clear that I was not to say anything to you at this time…"

"Damn it, get someone down to protect Amanda Mei, now. If there is a threat, given what happened when I was in Yi's office, there will be a threat to her. Make sure she is safe, or her husband will kill us."

"Young Madam …"

"Do not argue with me on this, get it sorted now. I would assume that the lock down room is my husband's office, so get her secure there and have her call me please."

"Yes, Young Madam."

Anna ended the call and turned to the bodyguards. "You heard what I jut told Assistant Wang, see what you can do to help protect her."

"Young Madam, we are tasked with securing the Hou Family."

"Damn it, do not argue with me, Amanda Mei, last week obtained her marriage certificate with Yao Tan, the CEO of …"

"XF International, we know CEO Yao."

"Well, when I was with my husband, and he took a call from CEO Lu, while we were the ones in the firing line of his rants, and I suspect that this is why the lock down is in place, CEO Yao will not be far behind. Make sure his wife is safe."

The bodyguards listening to Anna's logic knew that she was correct. Madam Yao needed to be kept safe, so a quick call was made to ensure someone was available to guard her in the Young Master's office.
