The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 214 Since we have made an enemy, we must beat him to death

In the evening, Chen Zhengwei returned home and went to Lin Changning's room first. The room was empty.

I looked at my room again, and there was no one there.

Now that Lin Mingsheng is back, Lin Changning naturally can no longer live with Chen Zhengwei.

Chen Zhengwei immediately went to find Wanyun angrily.

How can he sleep when the bed is so cold?
The next day at noon, after getting up, Chen Zhengwei strolled to the martial arts gym, where he saw Zhang Ziang, dressed in tights, fighting with Li Xiwen.

Zhang Ziang is tall and strong, a head taller than the teenage Li Xiwen. He has been practicing martial arts since he was young and has considerable strength.

However, Li Xiwen has been following Chen Zhengwei for a long time, and he also has a ruthless spirit, and his body is flexible, so he can hold on for a while.

Chen Zhengwei watched for a while with a smile on his face. Lin Mingsheng glanced at him from time to time. He had asked before that Chen Zhengwei had not practiced boxing for a long time.

This made him feel quite disappointed.

But Chen Zhengwei didn't care. He was no longer at the age of being brave and aggressive.

During the meal, Chen Zhengwei said to Zhang Yan enthusiastically: "Uncle Master, please write a letter to Zhan Tianyou and give me the address. I will send someone to pick him up and come to San Francisco to celebrate the New Year."

"Then I'll leave this matter to you!" Zhang Yan smiled and nodded in agreement.

In fact, Zhan Tianyou is Zhang Yan's nephew, and Zhang Ziang is Zhang Yan's nephew, so Zhang Ziang calls Zhan Tianyou his cousin.

This time, Zhang Yan came here to take Zhang Ziang on a trip and also to visit Zhan Tianyou on behalf of his parents.

After dinner, Chen Zhengwei sent someone to inquire about the train schedule. San Francisco is at the westernmost part of the United States, while Yale University is at the easternmost part of the United States.

With luck, Zhan Tianyou would still have time to celebrate the New Year in San Francisco.

It doesn’t matter if he can’t make it, as long as he can bring his classmates with him.

After dinner, they returned to the martial arts hall. Zhang Yan went back to his room to write a letter, while Zhang Ziang asked Li Xiwen to take him around.

Lin Mingsheng and Chen Zhengwei sat in the hall, ready to talk about Lin Changning.

But Lin Changning did not leave. He just sat in the yard, looking up at the two of them from time to time.

The ears are perked up.

Seeing her like this, Lin Mingsheng sighed and looked at Chen Zhengwei: "What do you want to tell me?"

"How do you think we should propose marriage?" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile. "I have never done this before, so I don't have much experience!"

Seeing that Chen Zhengwei was straightforward about this matter, Lin Mingsheng looked at him for a moment and said, "You decide. The sooner the better! Our Lin family is not a wealthy family, so we don't have so many red tape."

"I only have one request, that you marry me in a formal ceremony and bring me a sedan chair carried by eight people."

He was afraid that Lin Changning's belly would get big in a few months.

As for the rest, he didn't care much.

Chen Zhengwei will not be short of food and drink for Lin Changning.

"I'll go back and ask someone to prepare! The marriage will be arranged in a few days." Chen Zhengwei turned his head and looked at Lin Changning with a smile. Lin Changning glared at him, then turned away and didn't look at him.

After a moment, Zhang Yan took out the letter, along with the address.

"I heard that it's not safe in the United States. Tell them to be careful on the road!" Zhang Yan instructed Chen Zhengwei.

"Don't worry! I'll arrange some more manpower!" Chen Zhengwei smiled after receiving the letter, then got up and left. He had other things to do.

After returning to the casino, Chen Zhengwei called Rong Jiacai and said, "Xiucai, ask Dabolan to check the boss of Wucheng Tobacco for me, and ask Marco to cooperate with him."

"Ask Schultz to send me a few good men, and you can pick a few people to go to Connecticut to pick up a few people. We'll set off in the afternoon and take the train to Oakland! Try to bring them back before the New Year."

Chen Zhengwei didn't know how many he could get, so he asked Zhang Yan and heard that the Qing Dynasty had sent 100 children to the United States to attend schools in different places.

Chen Zhengwei already considers these one hundred highly educated and high-quality talents as his own people.

At least keep half.

We will detain them even if their legs are broken.

After making the arrangements, Chen Zhengwei went to the bank again.

Anna was surprised when she looked up and saw Chen Zhengwei at the counter.

"How did you come?"

"Talk to your supervisor Noel about something!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

A moment later, Chen Zhengwei and Noel were sitting in the office.

"I heard that your president went back to report on his work?" Chen Zhengwei asked with a smile.

"The appointment will be given in half a month at most." Noel was in a good mood.

"If you need any help, you can always ask for my help. I like to help my friends!" Chen Zhengwei also smiled, then took out a note from his pocket, took a look at it and asked:

"Is James Cook, the owner of Fog City Tobacco, a client of your bank?"

Otherwise he always can't remember the name.

Noel was stunned for a moment, then sat on the sofa and looked at Chen Zhengwei, as if trying to see what he was thinking.

"Don't think too much, God has already opened the door for him!" Chen Zhengwei said lightly.

"Yes!" Noel said after hesitating.

"How much does he have in your bank?" Although there are several Bank of California banks in San Francisco, the one on Connee Street is the largest one, located in the city center, near the financial district.

He believed Noel should be clear.

"I'm not the bank president yet..." Noel spread out his hands. The information of major customers was not his responsibility.

Then he lowered his voice and said, "I can only guarantee that his heirs will not encounter any unnecessary trouble when receiving the inheritance."

"That's the best, Noel!" Although Chen Zhengwei did not get the news he wanted, he was very satisfied with Noel's promise.

"I may need to take out a loan in the next few days!" Chen Zhengwei thought for a moment and then said, "I'm going to have a good time in my first year in the United States."

Giving out red envelopes to more than 40,000 people in Chinatown, isn’t that lively enough? Isn’t that a big deal?
"Are there any mortgaged assets?" Noel asked first.

"Do you think I can't pay back the money?" Chen Zhengwei raised his eyebrows.

"Of course not. With Mr. Chen's identity, it's easy to get a loan. But if the amount is small, Mr. Chen won't come to me at all. If the amount is large, the approval process at the headquarters is too slow..."

"With mortgaged assets, there is no need for approval from headquarters. I can find a way and it will be done in three days at most." Noel explained immediately.

"Well... I'll come to see you again when the time comes!" Chen Zhengwei left with satisfaction.

He had to first see how the harvest was at Wucheng Tobacco.

Moreover, his current tobacco company is too small to meet the market needs of San Francisco, even if it works in two shifts 24 hours a day.

Wucheng Tobacco Company is a good example.

Located in the south area of Market Street, it covers a large area, workers are readily available, and it is close to the inland river, making transportation convenient.

At this time, James Cook had just returned to San Francisco and watched barrels of tobacco being loaded onto carriages and sent to the company on the inner river next to the South Side.

He had been making contacts everywhere recently and bought tobacco in other states to solve his urgent problem. However, the price of this batch of tobacco was much higher than the one he had obtained from the Cromwell family before.

This made him even angrier towards Chen Zhengwei.

Even if he lost everything, he would stick to the tobacco company and would never let the Chinese succeed.

After the tobacco was delivered to the company's warehouse, James Cook went to the Pinkerton Detective Agency with four Pinkerton security guards.

He wanted to ask how it was going.

However, when they arrived at the Pinkerton Detective Agency, they saw that it was in a mess and some clerks inside were busy packing up.

Everyone's face was filled with worry, confusion and uneasiness.

"What's going on here?" Several security guards were prospective detectives. Upon seeing the situation, they stepped forward to ask, while also showing their badges and credentials.

"Something happened... Almost all the detectives and prospective detectives in San Francisco were arrested. Even Mr. William was arrested!"

"Last night this place was broken into and all the information was stolen..."

Hearing this, several prospective detectives suddenly became anxious.

"How could this be?"

"There has been a major mistake in our work. That Chinese person is from the Investigation Bureau..."

A clerk who was in charge of sorting out the documents said with a gloomy expression.

"And there's a traitor in the detective agency!"

After saying this, he took the newspaper from the side and handed it to the prospective detectives.

"None of us thought that the Chinese man was from the Bureau of Investigation and was a sheriff... equivalent to a police officer."

"The other party also set an ambush..."

After seeing it, several people looked at each other in surprise.

After James figured out the situation, he also started to feel uneasy.

He originally wanted to let the Pinkerton detective investigate the Chinese man's crimes, and then find a way to send the evidence to the mayor.

As a result, now that Detective Pinkerton was in trouble, he didn't know whether he would be implicated.

"Mr. James, although something happened in the detective agency, we will still protect your safety."

"Once Mr. Pinkerton gets the news, he will definitely come and deal with it! Then those Chinese will be in trouble!" The security officer in charge of the team comforted James.

"That's better!" James said uneasily.

This Mr. Pinkerton is Allen Pinkerton, who was once responsible for President Lincoln's security and thwarted the plot to assassinate Lincoln.

James didn't want to stay here for long, so he returned home soon.

……

"So fast this time?" Chen Zhengwei got the information about James Cook in the evening.

"Thanks to Mr. Green for your help!" Dapolon looked at Green next to him politely.

As a genuine detective, Green's abilities are unmatched by Greater Poland's men.

"Well done!" Chen Zhengwei was very satisfied. He planned to ask Green to help train a group of people.

But before that: "Green, who of those in prison right now can help me?"

"I need a chance to talk to them..." Green also wanted to show his value.

"It's not easy to get a chance?" Chen Zhengwei smiled. "Starting tomorrow, have the Investigation Bureau pull everyone out individually, and then you talk to them."

Since each person was brought out individually, they didn't know whether the others had betrayed them, and they would definitely be suspicious of each other.

Maybe he could plant some nails in the Pinkerton detective agency.

Now that you have become an enemy, you have to find a way to kill the other person.

Even if we chase them to Chicago, we must kill them!
Chen Zhengwei will sooner or later expand his influence to Chicago.

There are more opportunities to make money there than in San Francisco.

Moreover, Chen Zhengwei likes bustling big cities.

"You guys lead the way in a moment!"

"Xiucai, go find A'long and ask him to prepare some manpower."
