Throughout this book there were multiple characters involved with the plot. There was one character I believe changed drastically. This character is Kong, he helped Tiger Lil and Lily find the thief that stole $2,000. He can only speak Chinese and lives with Master Wang in his martial arts studio.

As a result, Bernie (as owner of company) was able to sabotage the event and steal the $2,000. Undoubtedly, what he’s done was wrong but he had a reason to do it. Perhaps he didn’t want his sister to steal his business because when Anne was working at Ciao Chow business was outstanding but when she
