Chapter 94 Sex Passion Behind Closed Doors(Incest Sex):>Ep4

• About halfway along the Uxbridge Road was a tatty Chinese takeaway called the Bamboo Garden. It was owned by an émigré from Hong Kong, called Teddy Lim, and it was mostly staffed by members of his family. Above the takeaway was a deceptively spacious flat that Mr Lim rented out for a surprisingly low monthly rent.
• His tenant was a gentleman called Alistair Scanlon, who had lived there for years. Alistair - or Al, as everyone knew him - was a newspaper journalist. Back in the 90s, he'd worked in China as a correspondent for one of the major national dailies. While he was there, he reported on the plight of a number of political dissidents, persecuted by the Chinese state. He kept a light shining on their story, forcing the communist government to justify and defend its actions. Eventually, after a campaign of immense pressure, a handful of them were released. One of them was Teddy Lim's cousin, who was eventually allowed to enter Hong Kong; then still under British colonial rule. Teddy Lim never forgot the role Al played in the affair, and when the newly-divorced reporter was looking for somewhere to live, Teddy was happy to help.
• The flat however was mostly a dump. This wasn't entirely Teddy's fault; Al wasn't what you would call house proud, and he barely bothered cleaning the place. Everywhere you looked there were dirty mugs and crockery, unopened letters, magazines and books. And boxes. Dozens and dozens of boxes. The place was full of them, piled one on top of the other. You could barely move for them. They were a potential health and safety hazard, blocking corridors and doorways.
