* LoveMakesYouEvil: Waise's excuse to Petty for the money laundering scheme was to give them a financially set future together. Though he never went into full with Petty what scheme entailed, understanding the plot in whole makes sense as to why this excuse is present: He not only masterminded the robbery to blindside Uncle Chiu, but [[spoiler: also plotted to kill the old man in the process]]. With Chiu gone and Waise next in line to lead the Triads, he would have been the most powerful man in Hong Kong and super rich from washing all the dirty money that David and Kent brought into Hong Kong from the United States. When Petty confronts him over this, he uses this excuse. Sadly, Petty wasn't interested in being apart of his life after his true colors come out and she dumps him when she realizes that he is a member of the Triads.

* RulesLawyer: Waise Chow, who works for the Triads, knows his way through Hong Kong's laws left and right. In fact, when Tak tried to record him and get him to admit to his role in the recent robbery, Waise called his bluff and knew immediately that: 1) No one would know of his involvement unless they were in contact with someone who worked for the Triads (David in this case)
2) He knew of the wire that Tak tried to conceal. Alerting him that Tak was not a lowlife thief, but an undercover police officer.
Waise was well prepared for someone to try to confront about the robbery that he called Inspector Yeung to take Tak in as a dirty cop and even told Tak that he recorded their conversation. If Tak allowed him to represent him in court, he would make the whole thing go away. Needless to say, Tak had every reason to be pissed off while being dragged off to the station.
