"it's sensible to wrap up business before the weekend," Nie Huaisang said encouragingly, because he wanted to bolster Wen Chao up further and to keep his brother from entirely rattling him. A rattled Wen Chao would be much more difficult to deal with, until he got a good handle on him. "Da-ge, please don't wait around until Friday. I am scared Wen Chao will find out all the secrets I know if we are alone much longer."

Or else he would just like to give him some incentive to focus on him, alone, so that he could implement some actual planning. "Anyway, banks are closed on the weekend. So the Wen would have to wait until Monday to close out the accounts of the gangs they take over."
