The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 223: No More Difficulties If You Die
The next morning, news of the Chinatown party appeared in the newspapers.

The list includes customs officials, a former director of the Bureau of Investigation, many Republican members, and many wealthy people in San Francisco.

Many people have come to know the influence of this Chinese man.

David Brown was drinking coffee and reading the news in the newspaper in the hotel. He had to admit that this Chinese man did have a significant influence in San Francisco.

After meeting Leland Stanford last time, Leland Stanford asked him to talk to Chen Zhengwei.

But he was not reconciled.

After all, the detective agency suffered a great loss this time.

So he used other channels and "met" Mayor Anthony Batty at a banquet last night.

After the communication between the two sides, he finally gained something.

Anthony was indeed unwilling to let the Chinese go. Although he had been persuaded by Darren before, he had other ideas after communicating with David Brown.

After David Brown finished reading the newspaper, he folded it neatly and put it aside, then went to get his coat because he was going to visit Mayor Anthony again.

……

In the evening, Chen Zhengwei hosted a banquet for the leading figures in Chinatown, and Najib also hosted the banquet.

In the evening, there was a crowd of people in front of Dingshilou.

"Congratulations, Mr. Chen, congratulations, Master Lin!"

"They are a perfect match, and will surely live happily ever after!"

People from various associations and gangs in Chinatown arrived one after another, and each presented generous gifts.

After all, today is Chen Zhengwei Najib's day.

If the gift is too big, Chen Zhengwei may not remember it. But if the gift is too small, Chen Zhengwei will definitely remember it.

Lin Changning didn't come today. In the restaurant, Chen Zhengwei was wearing a bright red suit with a happy look on his face.

Originally, Najib was going to place the woman's horoscope on the stove for three days. If nothing bad happened, he would inform the woman's family.

However, Chen Zhengwei didn't care about these things. Rong Jiacheng handed the letter of appointment to Lin Mingsheng on behalf of Chen Zhengwei, and then Lin Mingsheng replied with a letter that he had prepared before.

The ceremony is complete.

After the banquet, Chang Sanben wanted to take everyone away, but Rong Jiacai came over and said, "Third Master, Brother Wei, please stay for a while!"

When Chang San heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he asked in a low voice, "Mr. Chen left me here?"

"Third Master, please think about it again!" Rong Jiacai said with a smile.

When Chang San heard this, he suddenly became uneasy and his face looked uncertain.

He thought that trouble was coming, but he also felt that Chen Zhengwei had closed all the opium dens in his territory, but had not closed the opium dens in their territory.

Did he offend Chen Zhengwei by buying opium from the Jews?

After a while, everyone else said goodbye and left, and Chen Zhengwei waved to Chang San.

"Mr. Chen! Are you looking for me?"

"Chang San, do you really not know? Or are you asking even though you already know the answer?" Chen Zhengwei took out a cigarette, lit it, and asked while looking at him.

"Mr. Chen, I really don't know. Are you talking about the opium I bought from the Jews?" Chang San asked tentatively.

"Look, you already know it!" Chen Zhengwei blew a puff of smoke into his face.

After much thought, Chang San still couldn't bear to give up the profits brought by the opium. Besides, he had spent all his money to get a batch of opium from the Jews, so he couldn't just throw it into the sea, right?
Gritting his teeth, he said, "Mr. Chen, although those opium dens are closed, the heavy smokers are still there. I know you look down on those heavy smokers, but you have to leave them a way to survive!"

"I bought a batch of opium from the Jews. Now that Mr. Chen has spoken, I will sell all the opium dens I have and then close them down. What do you think?"

"What you said makes sense!" Chen Zhengwei thought about it and nodded.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!" Chang San bowed quickly.

Then he felt his neck tighten as if someone was strangling him from behind. His face suddenly changed and he kept struggling.

Aaron was behind him, strangling his neck tightly with his arms.

"If you want to leave them a chance to live, then don't blame me for not leaving you a chance! This will also save you from trouble. You won't have to worry if you die!" Chen Zhengwei said lightly.

Rong Jiacai shook his head slightly, then stepped forward and advised softly:

"Brother Wei, today is a happy day...would you like to let him go?"

Chang San's face flushed, and a hint of hope appeared in his eyes.

"Isn't it okay as long as there is no blood? Look how smart Aaron is!" Chen Zhengwei stood up and walked out.

"I didn't look for him, but he still wanted to play dumb with me. Did he think I was easy to fool?"

"If we let him go today, will others follow suit?"

"Go and take care of everyone in the Xiyi Hall! Ah You, Ah Long, you two are in charge."

Even if there is no problem with these gangs, Chen Zhengwei will find a chance to swallow them up. What is the purpose of so many gangs in such a small Chinatown?
What's more, he caught me.

Aaron tightened his arm with a grim smile on his face. Chang San elbowed Aaron several times in a row, trying to make Aaron feel pain and let go, but Aaron seemed to feel nothing at all.

Before long, the strength in Chang San's arms became weaker and weaker, his eyes were full of despair, and his body gradually went limp.

After waiting for a while, A'long loosened his arms, letting Chang San fall to the ground, and then looked at Yan Qingyou: "Brother Wei asked us to deal with Xiyitang, A'you, what do you say?"

"Have all the people from Xiyitang been captured?" Yan Qingyou looked at the others first.

As soon as A'long took action just now, he signaled to others to capture everyone in the Xiyi Hall outside.

“All taken!”

"Besides Chang San, the only person in charge of Xiyitang is Tu Zuolin. Go talk to him. As long as we can deal with him, we can take over Xiyitang." Rong Jiacai said on the side.

He just advised Chen Zhengwei only because today was a happy day and killing someone was too unlucky.

Now that it has come to this, let’s swallow up Xiyitang as well.

"With Brother Wei's current power in Chinatown, Tu Zuolin dare not resist."

"Some of Chang San's trusted subordinates might want to avenge Chang San, but Tu Zuolin has a family and a career, so he will definitely not risk his life for Chang San."

"I have no objection, what about you?" Yan Qingyou asked A Long.

"I don't have any either! Then listen to the scholar."

"You take people to find Tu Changlin, and I will arrange some manpower!" After saying this, A Long led his people away in a swagger.

When Yan Qingyou went out, he saw five or six people from Xiyitang with guns pointed at their heads, unable to move.

"Watch them!" Yan Qingyou ordered, then asked someone to call over more than 20 people and went to find Tu Changlin.

Tu Changlin was less than 30 years old, with a face full of flesh. When he heard Yan Qingyou bringing people to find him in the casino, he was immediately surprised and wondered:

"They are having a banquet today. Didn't the Third Master go there? Why are you looking for me?"

"Come with me to welcome him!" Although he didn't know what Yan Qingyou wanted him to do, he didn't dare to delay and hurriedly took people to greet him.

Looking at Yan Qingyou, he laughed:
"Brother You, may you make a fortune in the New Year! Why are you here today?"

"I came to talk to you about something. Let's find a quiet place." Yan Qingyou said directly.

"No problem, let's go to the teahouse next door!" Tu Changlin was even more confused, but without any hesitation on his face, he took people to the teahouse next door.

After a while, the two of them each brought a few people and sat down in the teahouse, asking the others to wait downstairs.

After Yan Qingyou sat down, he said directly: "Brother Wei said that we are not allowed to make opium. You should be clear about this, right?"

"It has nothing to do with me. It's all done by the Third Master! The Third Master has the final say in Xiyitang. I have no say in it!" When Tu Changlin heard this, he knew that the other party was here to cause trouble, and he immediately complained.

"I tried to persuade him, but he didn't listen, and there was nothing I could do."

"You can make the decision now!" Yan Qingyou leaned back in his chair and looked at him.

Tu Changlin paused, his expression froze, and he looked at Yan Qingyou with some suspicion.

"Brother Wei is a man who doesn't tolerate any injustice. Chang San still wants to play dumb... He doesn't even think about it. How could Brother Wei be so easily fooled?"

"Third Master...?" Tu Changlin asked tentatively.

"There will be no such person as Chang San in the future! If you are interested, just burn some paper for him during the holidays. He likes money so much, don't let him lack money down there." Yan Qingyou said directly.

Tu Changlin's face became a little uncertain.

Speaking of which, there have been no conflicts in Chinatown in the past few months.

Chang San had some friendship with Chen Zhengwei, but he didn't expect that Chen Zhengwei would be so ruthless and kill people without any mercy.

"Brother Wei can turn a blind eye to other things, but Brother Wei has talked about the opium issue many times!"

"There are only two options before you now. If you take the people from Xiyitang with you, there will be no Xiyitang anymore."

"Or bring the people from Xiyitang to help Changsan get revenge!"

"Brother You, you're joking. I have wanted to follow Mr. Chen for a long time. Besides, Chang San knew that opium was harmful to people, but he still dared to buy it from the Jews. He is courting death!" Tu Changlin forced a smile, although it was not a pretty one.

Fight with Chen Zhengwei? What can we use to fight?

Chen Zhengwei said hello to the Investigation Bureau and all of them will go to jail.

"No need to choose, I will definitely follow Mr. Chen. How dare I go against Mr. Chen?"

"I'll go gather the people from the hall and explain everything to them."

Tu Changlin then asked someone to gather all the people in the hall together, and at the same time he had some plans in mind.

When he heard that Chang San had died, he began to think about giving up.

Although he agreed to bring his men to join Chen Zhengwei, he might be killed by the other party one day.

In this case, I might as well find an opportunity to leave San Francisco and return home with my money and a few trusted aides.

After a while, everyone in the hall gathered together.

Tu Changlin looked at everyone for a moment before he stood up and told them what had happened. Everyone was immediately shocked.

However, no one dared to say that they wanted to avenge Chang San, not even Chang San’s confidants.

Chen Zhengwei is now the only powerful figure in Chinatown, his influence is at its peak, and he has a strong army under his command.

To avenge Chang San is to seek death.
