I knew she wasn’t stupid and if she found out about the deaths, she might make a leap. A right one, just not right enough. I knew about the murders, more than she realized. I was grateful for that at least. I shook my head. I’d tried to keep all of the violence away from her but that damn Liu wouldn’t let it go. Wouldn’t let the Tong go without a fucking fight. The Triad was desperate. They lost a shitload of money and a lot of political ground. And all of it to the Tong. To me. Last week I’d had a business lunch with the top dozen businessmen of the Tong and it had been hammered home for me. There had even been a city councilman there. They’d all been present at Joe’s funeral. I’d even met a few at some of my fights. I was surprised when the head of the small business association called me to set up the meeting and Tsang wasn’t present. I’d had a similar meeting when I’d taken over ownership of the gym with some of the business owners on the block, but this was different.
