The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 207 Contact the Chinese, I want to meet him
Early in the morning, Theresa Chester, Chester's wife, got up and saw seven bullets on the table with some surprise in her eyes.

(The previous name was a little wrong, it has been corrected. Chester's name is McPhee Chester)
There was clearly nothing on her desk before she went to bed last night, and her husband didn't like guns.

She then went forward and tried to put the bullet away, but when she put it away, she found words engraved on it.

Curiosity drove her to place the bullet in front of her eyes so that she could make out the words on it.

Theresa Chester.

As a result, she saw her own name on the bullet, which made her heart feel as if it was being squeezed. She subconsciously turned her head to look at her husband who was still asleep in the bed.

Then continue to identify the text on other bullets.

Naomi Chester.
Spencer Chester.
She nearly fainted when she saw her son and daughter’s names engraved on the bullets.

But then she saw the names of the coachman, the gardener, the maid, and her husband, McPhee Chester.

Theresa woke Chester up in a panic, showed him the seven bullets in her hand, and asked in panic, "What's going on?"

"What?" Chester frowned when he saw his wife's appearance after being woken up.

"The bullet has each of our names engraved on it," Theresa said quickly.

"Where did you find it?" Chester suddenly woke up and all his sleepiness disappeared.

"On the table..." Theresa pointed to the desk in front of the bed.

When Chester heard this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and felt a chill in his heart.

He quickly grabbed the bullets from Theresa's hand and checked them one by one.

Sure enough, the name of everyone in the family was engraved on it, even the names of the servants.

Chester immediately realized that this was a threat.

The other party put the bullet on the table while I was sleeping, just to tell me that he could kill me easily.

And not just yourself, but everyone in the family.

This filled Chester with anger and fear.

The Chinese man was more vicious than he had imagined, his influence was greater than he thought, and he acted with impunity.

Now the newspapers are full of news criticizing him, the port is still shut down, and the bullet has been delivered to his desk.

Next time, the other party will just take action directly, right?
Now that things have come to this, he has already regretted it.

"What's going on?" Theresa looked worried.

"I'll take care of him!" Chester didn't explain, but just comforted Theresa.

After a while, Chester first asked the maid if anyone came in last night, and the answer was no.

Then he walked around the garden again, but still couldn't find any trace of the other party.

The other party is like a ghost.

When we arrived at the Customs Building, although it was called a building, it actually only had four floors.

Arriving at the office on the top floor, McPhee Chester stood at the window and looked in for a while, then called the secretary in: "Let Daniel come over!"

A moment later, Daniel came to Chester's office: "Mr. Chester!"

"Contact the Chinese and tell them I want to meet him..." McPhee Chester thought for a moment and then changed his words: "Tell them I want to meet him!"

He didn't want to continue fighting with Chen Zhengwei, the Chinese man was too dangerous. Although it was embarrassing...if the San Francisco City Government could arrest him, he would definitely watch him being hanged.

If the San Francisco city government couldn't do it, he didn't want to put himself and his family in danger.

Daniel immediately noticed the difference between Chester's two sentences and said to Chester: "I will contact them!"

"Going right now!"

Daniel went to the dock personally to find the Chinese people wearing black coats and thug hats. Several of them were wrapping themselves in their coats and leaning against the wall chatting.

"I'm a shipping agent, and someone wants to see your boss!"

"Shipping agent?" Shui Zhuzi threw his cigarette butt to the ground and stomped it out: "Who wants to see Brother Wei? You are not clear, how can I let someone notify you?"

"It's the customs official, Mr. Chester." Daniel was not angry.

It can be seen from Chester's change of heart that he is ready to give in.

Although he didn't know how the other party did it, Chester lowered his attitude. He couldn't afford to offend the other party.

Half an hour later, someone knocked on Chen Zhengwei's door.

"Senior brother, senior brother?"

"Fuck, what's going on?" Chen Zhengwei cursed as he sat up from the bed.

"News came from the dock that customs officer Chester wants to meet with you!" Li Xiwen's voice sounded outside the door.

"Just because he says he wants to meet, we can meet. Tell him it will be in the afternoon!" Chen Zhengwei lay back down.

Last time I went to look for him with the money, I didn't even see him.

He only responds to hard things and not soft things. What a cunning person!

Chen Zhengwei slept until almost noon, then he got up from the bed, went downstairs in his pajamas and smoked.

After seeing Li Xiwen, Chen Zhengwei pondered for a while and asked:
"Xiwen, did you just say something to me?"

"Brother...Chester from the customs wants to meet you! And you said it would be in the afternoon." Li Xiwen said with a smile.

He thought Chen Zhengwei would take such a big thing seriously, but he didn't expect that Chen Zhengwei didn't take it seriously at all.

"Fuck, you bastard!" Chen Zhengwei cursed again, and then didn't take it to heart.

After using so many means, causing such a big fuss, and losing so much, Chester has finally given in. Why am I still in a hurry to see him?
"Go call your senior sister to have morning tea!" Chen Zhengwei called Li Xiwen, then went upstairs to change into a pink suit and took a sable coat.

This one has only one advantage over other mink coats - it's expensive!

Now Lin Changning has two breakfasts and one dinner a day, and he is in a good mood when eating.

She just heard from Li Xiwen that Chester had given in.

"Why are you keeping your neck raised? Do you have a stiff neck?" Chen Zhengwei glanced at her.

Lin Changning snorted and ignored him.

After breakfast, Chen Zhengwei returned to the casino and filled a box with cash, still totaling 20,000 yuan.

Although I scared him this time, I still have to give him the money, and he must accept it. He has no choice but to accept it.

After all, you can scare people for a while, but not forever.

Chen Zhengwei spends money like water, so he doesn't care about the 20,000 US dollars as long as it can be put to use.

Then we took a carriage to the customs building and heard protests in the distance.

The protest is still going on today, and there are more people. Yesterday, time was too tight, and many people did not mobilize. Today, many unemployed Poles and Germans also joined in. The number of protesters exceeded 3,000, almost filling up the road in front of the city hall.

At the entrance of the customs building, the men in the front and rear carriages got off first and were alert to the surroundings.

Then Chen Zhengwei brought Li Xiwen down from the carriage. Li Xiwen was holding a box in his hand.

Chen Zhengwei looked at Li Xiwen beside him, and always felt that it was not impressive to take this child out.

He began to dislike Li Xiwen. He was small, couldn't block bullets, and his marksmanship was average. Although he had good skills, they were usually useless.

I still need to get some tall and strong bodyguards.

Chen Zhengwei glanced around and then entered the building. He soon saw the staff member who told him last time that Chester didn't want to see him.

He walked straight to the other person and spoke slowly:
"Chester asked me to come over and meet him!"

The other party recognized him immediately and said with his head slightly lowered: "I'll go inform Mr. Chester!"

Then he left quickly.

After a moment, the staff member came down again: "Mr. Chester is waiting for you in the office!"

Only then did Chen Zhengwei take Li Xiwen upstairs in a swagger.

Customs officers along the way moved aside when they saw him.

What happened these days is all related to this Chinese man.

Arriving at the door of Chester's office, Chester's secretary said, "Mr. Chester is in the office, you can go in directly."

Chen Zhengwei took the box from Li Xiwen, pushed the door and walked into the room, and saw a blond man in his forties sitting behind the desk.

"It's really not easy to meet Mr. Chester!" Chen Zhengwei pulled over a chair and sat opposite Chester with a smile. Then he put the box on the table and opened it, revealing the US dollars inside.

Chester stared at Chen Zhengwei in front of him.

He is tall and full of strength.

Young! Uninhibited! If that pink suit were on someone else, it would look out of place, but on him, it made this sense of uninhibitedness particularly strong.

"I can release the cargo from that ship! This is the end of our relationship. I won't cause you any trouble in the future, and you don't have to cause me any trouble. As for the money, you can take it back! But you have to restore the port to its original state immediately!"

"I won't take any money. Mr. Chester is very resentful towards me. This is not good." Chen Zhengwei was unmoved. He sat casually on the chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.

Chen Zhengwei has a very simple idea.

Anyone who doesn’t charge money is not a good person!

The rhythmic tapping of his fingers made Chester feel a sense of pressure.

"You threatened me, do you still want me to like you?" Chester said, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"I just want to meet Mr. Chester! What happened in the past is over, or... Mr. Chester doesn't want things to just pass?" Chen Zhengwei had a smile on his face.

Chester stared at Chen Zhengwei for a long time before he brought the box in front of him. He glanced inside and then looked at Chen Zhengwei: "Is this okay?"

"There's one more thing! I'm looking for Mr. Chester not just for the cargo on the ship..." Chen Zhengwei crossed his legs.

"The Page Act prohibited Asian prostitutes from entering the United States. However, in reality, those prostitutes were from the Philippines and Indonesia, while the Chinese women came to look for their relatives, to find their husbands and relatives. They were all women of good character, but they were rudely blocked from entering the customs."

"There are a large number of Chinese corpses under the tracks of the Pacific Railway. Their fathers and husbands made great contributions to the construction of the United States. However, they were slandered as prostitutes by some people and could not be reunited with their relatives."

"Some people humiliated them and me simply because of the color of their skin!" Chen Zhengwei's voice was not fast, but every word was full of power.

Chester didn't expect that Chen Zhengwei was going to talk about this. After a little thought, he said:

"I'll ask them to carefully identify them next time!"

"I have to say that the quality of customs staff is really not that good!" Seeing Chester agreed, Chen Zhengwei said frivolously again.

Then he stood up and stretched out his hand to Chester: "Well, Mr. Chester, we will have the opportunity to deal with each other again in the future. After all, we should not be enemies, right?"

Chester extended his hand expressionlessly and shook his hand.

"Can I ask someone to pick up the goods?" Chen Zhengwei said, picking up his hat.

"I'll pass it on!" Chester said.

"The port will be back to normal by tomorrow at the latest!" Chen Zhengwei smiled at Chester, then left with his hat on.

After going out the door, Chen Zhengwei took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth, then walked out with a swagger.

As he walked, he said to Li Xiwen beside him: "Do you know why I have to do so many things?"

Then he laughed and said:
"Just so that now, no one will say no to me!"

Chen Zhengwei walked to the door of the building, glanced outside, and said to Li Xiwen before getting on the carriage: "Go to the dock and ask them to notify the freight companies to call the workers back!"

"As compensation, they are in trouble in San Francisco and can ask for my help!"

After saying that, get in the car.

In the distance, several agents from the Pinkerton Detective Agency mixed in the crowd and watched Chen Zhengwei get on the carriage without doing anything rash. However, what surprised them was that the carriage stayed where it was and did not move.

"Mr. Chen, are you going back to Chinatown?" Chen Fengyu asked through the small window of the carriage.

"Wait a minute!"

Chen Zhengwei closed his eyes, and the scene on the street when he came out of the building just now appeared in front of him.

Although he dealt with Chester, he also caused a conflict between him and the city government, so he wanted to know how the other party wanted to deal with him.

Soon he found a few people inside.

Those people were there when I entered the building, and they are still there now.

They also pulled their hat brims down so that their gazes would not be easily noticed.

These people were staring at him.

Chen Zhengwei thought for a moment, then ordered through the small window: "Go back to Chinatown!"

The carriage returned to Chinatown, and then Chen Zhengwei changed a carriage and driver, came out of Chinatown again, and stopped next to Portsmouth Square.

Chen Zhengwei swept his eyes across the street and quickly locked onto a man wearing a hunting suit, high boots and a gray coat.

He was probably in his thirties, with a thick brown beard, and from the bulge in his clothes one could see that he was carrying two pistols on his waist.

"Turn around." Chen Zhengwei ordered.

Soon, he discovered that the other people had disappeared, and only that person was watching near the square.

Then he drove the carriage to the man.

When Green saw a Chinese carriage stop in front of him, he immediately became alert.

Then the carriage door opened, and two young Chinese men in coats got out of the carriage and walked straight towards him.
