The Le family was a wealthy family from China. They were also one of the police station's tax collectors, even though they paid less tax than the Watson family.
If that was all, it wouldn't be enough to make Elber hesitate.
The trouble was that they received an inquiry call from the Chinese embassy this morning. The embassy staff asked him about the Le family and said that they were concerned about the safety of their citizens in Wade Town.
How could Elber be an idiot if he could sit firmly in the position of director? The Le family wasn't the first Chinese family to come to Wade, but the embassy had never cared about these issues before. Therefore, it was too obvious who this call was for.
