The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 358 I am an American, and the Qing envoy summoned me? Is he crazy?

"Brother Wei, those bodyguards never left the hotel! Just one of them went to the telegraph office that day!" said the henchman behind Chen Zhengwei.

He watched for several days but didn't find an opportunity.

You can't do it in the hotel, right?

That would require Chen Zhengwei's approval.

"Then let's wait until they leave the hotel!" Chen Zhengwei waved his hand, he was not in a hurry.

The hotel's rules are there, and he doesn't intend to do anything in his own hotel.

When Chen Zhengwei walked downstairs, he saw Cicely Dupont sitting in the restaurant. Chen Zhengwei often saw her in the hotel these days.

This woman is not difficult to deal with, at least much easier than Lin Changning.

Every time when he was about to take a step further, this woman would always back off, which made Chen Zhengwei somewhat unhappy.

Besides, her bodyguards are also a nuisance.

Chen Zhengwei was about to go and say hello to her when Aaron walked up to Chen Zhengwei and said, "Brother Wei, we arrested someone, a special agent from the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Justice is investigating us!"

"Them again?" Chen Zhengwei raised his eyebrows.

The Justice Department was also involved.

But it’s normal to think about it.

People sent by Rong Jiacai and Greene arrived in Washington, and Rong Jiacai's people also met with a senator.

There has been no movement from Congress recently.

It seems that the Army Department has not yet registered it with Congress.

While Chen Zhengwei was thinking, Cicely Dupont in the distance looked up and saw him, and gave him a smile that made him feel like a blooming rose.

Chen Zhengwei nodded slightly, then turned around and left with A'long.

No matter what, since there are guests, we have to meet them.

"Those thugs on the street are still useful! They found this guy!" Aaron said beside Chen Zhengwei.

"Since we have done the work, we must give benefits and let others know that they can get paid by working with me. Give them $1000!" Chen Zhengwei nodded slightly.

Aaron waved to the thugs who were playing cards in the hotel lobby, and immediately more than twenty people stood up and followed him.

Several of the thugs trotted up to the front and pushed open the door of the hotel.

After leaving the hotel, the group went to a nearby eyewear store, walked straight through the front store, came to the back room, and then opened a door leading to the basement.

After Chen Zhengwei went downstairs, he saw a middle-aged man tied to a chair. There was blood on his face and body. It was obvious that he had suffered some injuries when he was arrested before.

On a table to one side were the gun and special agent's credentials that were found on the man.

Having someone bring a chair over, Chen Zhengwei picked up the other party's ID and sat opposite the man. He crossed his legs, opened the ID and took a look at it.

"Mr. John, can you tell me what you are investigating?" Chen Zhengwei asked casually.

John raised his head and looked at the target of his investigation with one eye; the other eye was completely closed.

"Don't you know what I'm investigating?" John said in a hoarse voice.

"Then let me change the question. How many people came from the Ministry of Justice? What actions have been taken?" Chen Zhengwei asked with a smile.

"I don't know! I just rushed to Chicago after receiving the telegram! Are you worried that the Department of Justice will collect evidence of your crime? Everything you did in Chicago can't escape other people's eyes. Since you came to Chicago, sin has been entangled with you! You can't run away!" John grinned and showed an ugly smile.

"Evil?" Chen Zhengwei sneered. "What a joke!"

"What was Chicago like before? Gangs were fighting for territory, there were murders, robberies, and thefts everywhere, and it was chaos everywhere! It was me who brought order here! The public security in Chicago has improved a lot recently!" Chen Zhengwei said as he lowered his head to pick out the dust accumulated under his fingernails.

"The director of the Chicago Bureau of Investigation is considering giving me an award!"

"In recognition of my outstanding contribution to Chicago policing!"

"You're talking to me about sin?" Chen Zhengwei pulled the corner of his mouth and looked at him sarcastically. "Are you stupid?"

Then he leaned forward and looked at the other person: "Or do you think your Ministry of Justice can confuse right and wrong and call a zebra a zebra?"

"It's really funny to hear you say this! Don't think we don't know that you have bribed the Investigation Bureau! You won't be happy for long! The Ministry of Justice will definitely catch you. Your only chance is to surrender!" John said to Chen Zhengwei.

"Turn yourself in?" Chen Zhengwei laughed loudly and turned to his henchman and asked, "He said I should turn myself in?"

"I'm a good citizen of San Francisco and an honorary citizen of Chicago. Why should I turn myself in? I'm going to turn myself in... Ask the director of the investigation department if he agrees? Ask the mayor if he agrees?" Chen Zhengwei looked wanton. He smiled for a long time before saying, "If you don't want to say it, forget it!"

"In fact, it doesn't matter what your Ministry of Justice wants to do!"

"Please ask Mr. John to take a flight!"

"There are five floors next door. Take him to the roof and throw him down!" Chen Zhengwei ordered with a smile, then got up and left.

But he didn't walk far. Instead, he ordered a glass of juice at the cafe next door, then sat there sipping the juice and basking in the sun.

A group of thugs beat John half to death and then dragged him to the rooftop of a five-story building nearby.

Aaron stood on the rooftop and lit a cigarette, watching the thugs drive the man to the edge of the rooftop, then stretched out his thumb and scratched his neck.

The two thugs pushed John down.

boom!
A human body fell from the sky and landed on the street.

The crowd around was startled at first, and then several women screamed.

A lady fainted as her body went limp.

Then a group of people looked above their heads and moved closer cautiously.

Blood continued to flow through the cracks in the brick pavement beneath John's body.

John opened his eye, but it was lifeless.

"Send someone to guard near the Investigation Bureau's morgue and see if anyone has gone there!" Chen Zhengwei gave an order to someone on the side, finished the juice in the glass, put the glass on the table, stood up, put on his hat, and swaggered back to the hotel.

……

Late at night, two well-dressed men walked out of the darkness, looked around, and then entered the morgue of the Investigation Bureau.

A moment later, the two saw the body and after careful identification, their eyes widened.

"It's our man... John..." Philander C. Knox's face turned pale.

In the afternoon, they heard that someone fell from a five-story building on Lake Street, and they felt something was wrong.

It was too close to the Tremont Hotel, and falling from five floors was likely caused by being pushed.

So the two of them came to the Investigation Bureau's morgue late at night to check.

However, what the two did not expect was that he was actually a special agent.

Looking at John's lifeless eyes and the scars on his face, Philander C. Knox and his companions were filled with anger.

Not only did the other party kill the special agent, but they also did it in such a ostentatious way, which was clearly a provocation.

"We will definitely catch him and send him to the gallows!" Philander C. Knox reached out and closed John's eyes, and said in a low voice.

"It's not safe here, let's go!" his companion suddenly said.

At the same time, he took out the gun from his waist.

The two men turned around and quickly left the morgue. However, as soon as they walked out of the door, they saw several people walking out of the darkness, each holding a strange-looking rifle in their hands.

“I didn’t expect to catch two!”

One of the thugs sneered at the two men, and then several of them pulled the trigger at the same time.

Gunshots suddenly rang out in the night.

The bodies of the two men continued to twitch with the storm of bullets, and blood flowers bloomed on their bodies.

In just three seconds, the two men and the wooden door behind them were like a sieve.

Then a few people walked up to the two men, squatted down and searched their bodies.

After a moment, he pulled out a half-broken document.

"He is indeed a special agent!" Several thugs threw the half certificate on the body and then turned and left.

Ten minutes later, people from the investigation bureau arrived.

When a sheriff saw half of an ID on one of the men, his expression changed slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he put the half ID in his pocket.

After returning to the office, he took out a match and burned the certificate.

……

"Envoy of the Qing Dynasty?" Chen Zhengwei was stunned.

The Qing Dynasty envoy sent someone to find him?
"Let him wait for me downstairs!" Chen Zhengwei continued to sit on the sofa in a daze, smoking a cigar.

It was a cloudy day today, the whole city was covered with dark clouds, and he didn't want to move.

After a while, Chen Zhengwei put the cigar in the ashtray, then put on his clothes and went downstairs.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a braid and wearing a long gown and a jacket was waiting in the hotel lobby, looking a little impatient.

After all, he was sent by the minister.

A Chinese person is so arrogant that he has been waiting here for so long.

However, when he saw Chen Zhengwei coming down, he immediately adjusted his expression and sat there waiting for Chen Zhengwei to come over.

Then he saw Chen Zhengwei yawning after coming downstairs, and went to the restaurant without even looking at him.

The middle-aged man was immediately furious, but then he thought that this person might not be the one he was looking for, so he continued to wait there.

Chen Zhengwei didn't see Cicely Dupont, so he sat down at his usual seat and ordered, "Ask the kitchen to bring the morning tea over! Ask that person to come over as well!"

The middle-aged man was led to Chen Zhengwei and saw that it was the young man who didn't even look at him just now. After confirming that the other party was Chen Zhengwei, the middle-aged man's face immediately turned cold.

His name is Chen Guofang. He is a distant relative of Chen Lanbin and also an attendant brought to the United States by Chen Lanbin.

After all, when you are away from home, it is more reassuring to have your own people using it.

It would be fine if it was a foreigner.

When Chen Guofang saw that Chen Zhengwei, a Chinese, was so arrogant and did not take him seriously at all, he suddenly became angry.

As for Chen Lanbin's request for him to be more polite, he had long forgotten it.

"You are Chen Zhengwei, right?"

"My Lord Chen Lanbin, the Qing Dynasty's Minister to the United States, has heard of your name and wants to see you!" Chen Guofang took out a letter from his sleeve with a serious face.

Chen Zhengwei glanced at him, then sneered, "I'm an American... The Qing envoy wants to summon me? Is he crazy?"

"And you... How dare you, any cat or dog, show such disrespect to me?"

"Chop off one hand and chase him away! Chop it outside the hotel and don't stain the carpet!"

Chen Guofang didn't expect Chen Zhengwei to be so cruel. With just one sentence, he not only humiliated Chen Lanbin, but also chopped off his hand.

Two thugs came over to hold him, and Chen Guofang immediately felt as if his tail had been stepped on, and he threatened while struggling:

"How dare you! Even if you don't return to China, don't you have any family in the country?"

"Chop off both of his hands! And buy him a train ticket back to New York!" Chen Zhengwei ordered casually.

"Damn it, a Qing official sent someone to show off here. I'm going to send him a bomb tomorrow!"
