The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 369 We Have the Freedom to Resist

"Let those people go to the streets to protest!" Chen Zhengwei ordered again.

In fact, there have been small-scale protests on the streets today, but in Chen Zhengwei's opinion, they are completely insufficient.

He needs more people and a louder voice to be heard throughout America.

"Brother Wei, the slot machines have also been delivered!" Aaron walked to Chen Zhengwei.

Chen Zhengwei kicked him directly: "I was just thinking about something important!"

The emotions that had just been brewing were interrupted by him.

Chen Zhengwei then said:
"Put these slot machines all over Chicago's bars and entertainment venues! But leave the market in the north to that Italian!"

Wars must be fought, and business must be done.

Otherwise, where would we get the money to fight the war?

At the train station in Chicago, wooden boxes were unloaded one after another. This time, 500 slot machines were delivered, and more than 100 were sent to New York.

In the afternoon, more than a hundred slot machines were sent to the north.

"30% is yours, and 70% is ours! Remember this! We will have someone check the accounts every week!" Aaron said, holding a cigar in his mouth.

"Don't worry, I know what's important! I'm already satisfied that Mr. Chen is willing to share part of the market and profits with me!" Ignazio Lupo had a smile on his face, and he was not at all unhappy with Aaron's impoliteness.

"Open the box!" Ignazio Lupo ordered his men.

A moment later, a slot machine in a box was opened and taken out.

Aaron took out a coin and threw it in, then pulled the joystick directly.

Soon, Ignazio Lupo knew the specific ways to play this thing, and he keenly realized that this thing would definitely be a hit.

After telling Ignazio Lupo how to adjust the magnification, Aaron said, "Get your people moving and go to the streets to protest tomorrow!"

Then he took his men away.

"Boss, will this thing work?" Lupo's men asked in a low voice.

"Of course it will work. This thing can make money, and a lot of money!" Lupo laughed.

The slot machines were then sent to the bar on his territory.

In the evening, Ignazio Lupo and his men went around each bar and saw that every slot machine was surrounded by people.

Ignazio Lupo found the sound of coins being dropped in, the lever being pulled, or the wheel spinning extremely pleasant to the ear.

That's the sound of money.

That night, Ignazio Lupo waited until all the bars closed in the late night and his income for the night came out.

“凯蒂酒吧21块50美分，女妖酒吧29块80美分，时光酒吧18块50美分……”随着报账的声音，伊格纳齐奥·卢波的心跳动的也越来越快。

"How much in total?"

"Boss... the total is 3753 US dollars..." said a henchman.

Ignazio Lupo finally laughed out loud and clapped his hands continuously.

These slot machines alone could earn him $10 a month, of which $ belonged to him.

His gang's total monthly income was only over 40,000 U.S. dollars.

This was big business for him and it was pure profit with no risk at all.

"You also go to the protest tomorrow morning! We are immigrants too. Immigrants should not be discriminated against, let alone treated roughly! We should fight for our legal rights!" Ignazio Lupo said to his men.

After thinking for a moment, he added: "Except for those bitch Jews!"

……

The next morning, reports about Chen Zhengwei's interview spread again, not just in Chicago, but in major cities across the United States.

Chinatown, San Francisco.

"Look, look!" A wealthy Chinese businessman walked quickly into the Chamber of Commerce holding a newspaper.

"What happened again?" After seeing the newspaper, other people in the Chamber of Commerce were a little scared, fearing that something like that would happen again.

"Mr. Chen was interviewed in Chicago!"

"What did Mr. Chen say?" The wealthy businessmen in Chinatown gathered around.

"Mr. Chen said... he would not hesitate to use force to retaliate! And he said... he would definitely find the person from the Ministry of Justice..."

Although it was not stated explicitly, everyone knew what Chen Zhengwei meant.

After everyone finished reading the newspaper, the evil spirit in their hearts finally dissipated a little, and the haze between their brows also dissipated for the most part.

"As expected of Mr. Chen!"

"Mr. Chen will really stand up!"

"We must make them pay with blood!"

Michael sat in the investigation bureau, looking at the newspaper in his hand, and sighed. "I just fucking know..."

When the reports came out two days ago, he knew that something big was going to happen, because he knew Chen Zhengwei too well.

Better than those people in Chinatown.

really……

new York
"It's really Mr. Chen!" Huang Kaijia and Zhan Tianyou looked at the newspapers in their hands and clapped their hands in admiration.

They were still wondering what Mr. Chen in San Francisco would do when he heard about this.

Now they saw it, and it was just as they had remembered.

"So encouraging! Mr. Chen is truly a role model for Chinese Americans!"

Although Zhang Kangren didn't say anything, he looked excited.

Other students didn't know who this Chen Zhengwei was, so they all came over to ask, "Who is this Chen Zhengwei?"

Soon, they got some information about Chen Zhengwei from Huang Kaijia and others. They were shocked. They didn't expect that there was such a person among the Chinese in the United States.

"There's a rally at Central Garden. Many people are protesting there and are going to march to City Hall!" someone rushed in and shouted.

"Let's go too!" When the other students heard this, they immediately stood up.

Even foreigners went to protest, so how could the Chinese not show up?
The group hurried to the Central Garden, where they soon found a large crowd of protesters and were swept up in them.

"Punish the executioner severely!" Huang Kaijia shouted along with the protesting crowd, but after a moment he felt something was wrong.

Cai Yuanpei, who was standing next to him, leaned over and whispered, "Do you feel that there is something wrong with the people around you?"

"Yes, a little bit..." Huang Kaijia whispered, looking around, and saw that there were a lot of burly men in the parade crowd, some of whom had tattoos on the back of their hands and necks, and they kept spitting out foul language.

These people don't look like good people at all. However, the fact that such people took the initiative to stand up and speak for the Chinese made these students even more excited.

Suddenly I felt that these people looked more handsome.

……

The Qing Dynasty's envoys and officials in New York, such as Yung Wing and Chen Jiashan, also saw the newspaper.

"He's just a commoner, but he has such a big tone! What right does he have to say this? What right does he have to represent the Chinese people? He's not afraid to use force?" Wu Jiashan slammed the table and cursed.

If someone else said this, he might just laugh it off and treat it as a delusional person.

But Chen Zhengwei... he had actually heard of this person recently and knew that this person was extremely bold and presumptuous.

"If it affects the diplomatic relations between the two countries, killing all his clans will not be enough!"

Yung Wing also frowned. Although he was not as angry as Wu Jiashan, Wu Jiashan was right about one thing.

This Chen Zhengwei is, after all, just a gang leader, and now the US government is investigating him. Although saying such things may seem encouraging, it is extremely unwise.

A moment later, Yung Wing went out again and sent a telegram to Washington to strongly protest, demanding that the Ministry of Justice give an explanation and severely punish the murderer.

……

Chicago.

"Punish the executioner severely!"

“Chinese lives also count!”

“The Ministry of Justice should not become the executioner who massacres people!”

Thousands of people stood outside the city hall building, holding signs and chanting.

Mayor Thompson looked at the crowd outside and felt a little headache. The Bureau of Investigation, which was supposed to maintain order, was watching from a distance for some well-known reasons.

This also made him a little annoyed.

And even more trouble is behind him.

Thompson turned and looked at Chen Zhengwei who was sitting there: "So, what do you want me to do?"

"I think the mayor should protest against this atrocity. This is based on one's conscience and the voice of the people!" Chen Zhengwei raised his chin: "Look outside!"

"Those people stood up and made their voices heard based on simple moral values, and Mr. Mayor, as a politician, should do the same!"

"Chen, I want to remind you that you should know the consequences of this matter!" Thompson said earnestly.

"The Bill of Rights gives people basic freedoms, while the Declaration of Independence gives people the idea of resistance!" Chen Zhengwei said.

What do he do with so many lawyers?

Not only will we help him prosecute others and help his subordinates get away with crimes, we will also provide necessary legislative and verbal support at times like this.

“Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government,” Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence.

"So we have freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, freedom to bear arms, and freedom to stand up against injustice!"

"Thompson, you know, there is only one thing I care about most in my life, fairness, fairness, and damn fairness."

"But now I'm being treated unfairly!"

Chen Zhengwei sat opposite Thompson with a calm face, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter.

But Thompson knew he had made up his mind.

After thinking for a moment, Thompson said, "You win. I will hold a press conference to express my attitude towards this matter!"

"Thank you! When you get off the stage, come and have coffee with me when you have time!" Chen Zhengwei smiled and stood up.

"Chen!" Thompson called out to Chen Zhengwei.

"Good luck!"

"God favors me the most!" Chen Zhengwei laughed. He had always thought Thompson was a good person, and now he likes him even more.

Soon, Thompson called the reporters together and said to them: "I saw the recent news and I am very shocked by this!"

"The U.S. government exists to protect the American people, not to kill them with violence!"

"The behavior of the Department of Justice is shocking and horrifying. It is unimaginable if this happened in Chicago or anywhere else."

"At this moment, we all stand together and we must oppose this atrocity!"

“Yes, I am the mayor. My responsibility is to lead the people of Chicago to live a better life and make this city a better place, not to cover up the ugly behavior of certain people!”

"Besides that, I am also an ordinary person, so I am willing to stand with you and those people outside!"

After Thompson finished speaking, he walked into the protesting crowd outside amid the astonished looks of the reporters.

Not only the reporters were shocked, but even the protesters outside were shocked. Their voices paused for a few breaths, and then there was a burst of violent cheers.

It seems like they have won!
At the same time, several California lawmakers appeared in public and were interviewed.

"Yes, I'm shocked!"

"I can't believe this is happening in America!"

"The Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution give each of us spiritual and physical human rights, but some are taking them away!"

Even California Attorney General Isaac Smith stood up and strongly accused: "Some people in Washington are undermining the foundation of the United States! We will never tolerate such behavior!"

……

In just a few days, the entire United States was shaken.

Various voices filled the newspapers, and various marches and protests could be seen everywhere in major cities.

Some ethnic minorities have stood up and made their voices heard, even though they have never met a Chinese person.

In this process, Chen Zhengwei's interview played a huge role, prompting many minority community leaders to speak out.

At the same time, Green hurried to Chen Zhengwei.

"Brother Wei, we have found the home address of that person from the Ministry of Justice!"

"Chauncey Forward, Agent in the Office of Special Agents! Lives in... Upper East Side, Manhattan, New York..."

"He has a wonderful family, a wife, two sons, and a daughter."

"Also, he has a younger sister whose husband has died and she lives with his family."

"It sounds really perfect!" Chen Zhengwei smiled.

"But it won't be happy soon!"

"I want to see them!" Chen Zhengwei ordered.
