The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 493 Why don’t you speak? Don’t you like to talk?

After Mayor Morris entered the banquet hall, there were finally no other guests outside.

Chen Zhengwei then turned around and asked Green: "Are they all here?"

Green looked at the henchman who was holding a stack of paper records not far away. The henchman nodded, and Green said, "Boss, everyone is here."

"Close the door!" Chen Zhengwei ordered, turning around and walking into the banquet hall with a smile.

At this time, the guests in the banquet hall were chatting in groups of three or five, and the content of their conversations was always about Chen Zhengwei.

But there is one exception.

"Mr. Herman, I didn't expect you to be here. I thought you were at Mr. Rice's party!" a man said to Herman.

There was a certain sarcasm in his words.

These Houston celebrities have deep-rooted relationships with each other.

In addition to allies, there are also enemies formed for various reasons.

It was obvious that there was no harmony between the two people.

After hearing this, Herman retorted: "Aren't you here too?"

"After all, I don't have any plans for the next two days, unlike some people." The other person smiled.

"Of course, after all, you are not popular. Few people will invite you!" Hermann's words were as calm as ever.

The two exchanged a few words, and then they saw Chen Zhengwei walking to the front of the banquet hall and immediately stopped talking.

At the same time, Hermann saw the door of the banquet hall closed, and four big men in gentlemen's suits stood in front of the door with their hands behind their backs.

The others gradually stopped talking and looked at Chen Zhengwei.

Chen Zhengwei held a cigar in one hand and took a sip of red wine in the other hand before passing it to the henchman beside him. He then smiled at everyone and said:

"Everyone here is a local in Houston. I just arrived here today. Since I'm new here, I naturally have to give you a chance to get to know me!"

Chen Zhengwei's opening remarks were very sharp and immediately changed the eyes of many people at the scene.

"As for me, I would also like to take this opportunity to have a good chat with you guys!"

"A few days ago, several of my men were nailed to the cross and burned to death in this city. You are all the local bosses here. Can you tell me what happened?" The smile on Chen Zhengwei's face changed a little, and his eyes and expression were like a ferocious beast that was choosing its prey.

The banquet hall was silent. Most people had heard about this incident, but no one expected Chen Zhengwei to be so direct.

Invite all the politicians and celebrities in Houston, including the mayor, police chief, congressmen, and wealthy people here, and then ask them directly and to the point.

Mayor Morris looked at Chen Zhengwei, then turned his head to look at the police chief, motioning him to speak.

The police chief took a deep breath and prepared to speak.

But Chen Zhengwei spoke again at this time: "Why is no one speaking up? No one knows, right? You local snakes don't know? Or don't you want to say it?"

"Since no one is speaking, then... Congressman Chapman, you speak!"

Chen Zhengwei stared at Congressman Chapman, who suddenly felt as if he was facing a hungry brown bear with bare hands in the wilderness. The tremendous pressure came upon him, and he began to sweat.

"Mr. Chen, I'm so sorry!"

"I hate it most when someone apologizes to me. Apologizing to me means that the other person has done something wrong to me!" Chen Zhengwei interrupted him directly and asked with narrowed eyes.

"You did something to offend me? Did you send those people?"

"No, no!" Chapman almost jumped up and explained quickly: "Mr. Chen, I really didn't know about that matter..."

"My people were ambushed when they came out of your party... and you told me that you didn't know about it. Do you think I should believe it?"

Councillor Chapman's brow was sweating even more.

"Mr. Chen, I really don't know much about this matter. There were a lot of people attending the banquet that day... I..." Chapman felt flustered under Chen Zhengwei's gaze.

Chen Zhengwei brought too much pressure on him.

"Oh? Who else?" A smile appeared on Chen Zhengwei's face.

Chapman realized he had said something wrong and immediately shut up.

However, others have already revealed their dissatisfaction. You know, there were quite a few people attending the banquet that day... and some of them were even present.

"You're not going to say anything? Since you're not going to say anything, I think you did it!" Chen Zhengwei took out his gun and pointed it at Chapman's head.

Chapman's face suddenly changed; "I..."

boom!
Chen Zhengwei shot Chapman in the head, and Chapman's body fell to the ground with a bang.

The others immediately tensed up, with shocked expressions on their faces.

Chen Zhengwei actually killed someone here, killing a congressman in front of so many people!
Chen Zhengwei shot at Chapman's body with an expressionless face.

Bang bang bang bang!
With each gunshot, Chapman's lifeless body trembled due to the force of the bullets entering his body.

After Chen Zhengwei fired six bullets, he threw the gun to Schultz, took out another gun from his waist and continued shooting at Chapman's body.

All the politicians and celebrities in Houston stood there in fear, their hearts cold and filled with anger.

These people first looked at the door of the banquet hall, but found that it was blocked.

Then he looked at the police chief.

The police chief wanted to speak before, but now he just looked at the others without saying a word, completely ignoring the gazes from others.

Chen Zhengwei finished firing the bullets in the second gun and threw it to Schultz again.

Then he clapped his hands and smiled at everyone: "Okay, the culprit is dead!"

"Everyone who knows me knows that I am a reasonable person!"

"My people attended his banquet and were ambushed... He said he didn't know. Do you think I should believe him?" Chen Zhengwei looked at everyone with a smile, his eyes searching as he swept across everyone's face.

These people were angry and didn't want to answer. But when Chen Zhengwei's eyes fell on them, they immediately felt the terrifying pressure from the other party, like a ferocious beast, and subconsciously shook their heads slightly.

After all, Chapman is dead, and no one wants to go against Chen Zhengwei because of Chapman now.

Since Chen Zhengwei dared to kill Chapman, he would also dare to kill them.

Just a few minutes into the banquet, everyone realized how brutal and cruel this Chinese man was!
"It seems that you all think that I shouldn't trust him. Then there's no problem! This bastard deserves to die!" Chen Zhengwei laughed.

One of Chapman's political allies took a deep breath, looked at Chen Zhengwei and said:
"I……"

boom!
No one noticed when a gun appeared in Chen Zhengwei's hand, with a faint smoke coming out of the muzzle.

"What do you want to say?" Chen Zhengwei asked with a smile.

Pfft!
The body fell to the ground.

Chen Zhengwei waited for a minute, then pointed his gun at the corpse on the ground with a puzzled look on his face and said, "Why don't you speak? Don't you like to talk? I thought you had something to say!" Everyone in the field felt cold all over.

This guy is not only a thug, he's also a lunatic.

"It seems that this gentleman has no problem, so what else do you want to say?"

How dare others speak.

Even Houston Mayor Morris had a sullen face and said nothing.

He felt that he might have overestimated Chen Zhengwei's men, but he definitely underestimated Chen Zhengwei's madness.

"It seems that everyone thinks what I did is right?"

"I told you, I have never done anything wrong! If there is any problem, it is you who are wrong, not me!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

"If you make a mistake, you must admit it!"

"I am a very reasonable person, you should understand this! I will give everyone a chance to speak!" After Chen Zhengwei finished speaking, he paused, put a cigar in his mouth, puffed smoke, and looked at everyone's expressions.

He didn't say the rest, but everyone understood.

He will give everyone a chance to speak, but whether they listen or believe it is up to him.

As long as he is not satisfied, he will kill you.

No other reasons or evidence are needed.

"Everyone should know me. Everyone who knows me should know that my friends are all doing well, their businesses are booming, and they are respected wherever they go!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile after exhaling a puff of smoke.

"Now the person who did the wrong thing has been dealt with! Everyone can be happier! Where is the band?" Chen Zhengwei asked loudly.

The band in the corner was already trembling.

After hearing Chen Zhengwei's words, he quickly pressed the piano keys.

"Let's play some cheerful party music!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

"Drag this idiot and that gentleman who doesn't like to talk out of here!"

Along with the sounds of piano, violin and clarinet, the bloodiness of the banquet seemed to be diluted a little.

However, the crowd did not feel any warmth at all. They watched helplessly as Chen Zhengwei's men dragged the bodies off the ground, leaving large stains of blood and some other things on the street.

The pungent smell of blood lingered in everyone's nose.

"Gentlemen, you know, I feel that people in Houston are not very friendly and not enthusiastic enough!" Chen Zhengwei suddenly clapped his hands to attract people's attention, and then spoke.

Everyone's heart suddenly started beating wildly, not knowing what this thug was going to do next.

"The banquet has started, why aren't you smiling?" Chen Zhengwei swept his eyes across the room.

"Everyone has a dead look on their face...Did someone die in the family?"

No matter what everyone was thinking, they could only force a smile at this moment.

"That's right, let's be happier! Music louder and more cheerful!" Chen Zhengwei nodded.

He walked towards Mayor Joseph R. Morris with a smile on his face, "Mayor Morris!"

"Mr. Chen!" Joseph R. Morris could only remain calm at this time, his heart beating fast.

"I have a lot of things I want to talk to the Mayor about!" Chen Zhengwei put his arm on Morris's shoulder and walked to the side with his arm around his shoulder.

This action is extremely rude under normal circumstances, but at this moment no one cared whether he was rude or not.

Chen Zhengwei said with a warm smile on his face:

"Everyone knows that the KKK is a group of thugs who advocate racial supremacy and are a cancer in society. A few years ago, the government enacted the Anti-KKK Law..."

"But why are there so many KKK members in Houston? You are the mayor of Houston, I think you must know. Tell me about it."

"Also, I heard that the Morris family has some connection with the KKK. Is that true?"

When Morris heard Chen Zhengwei's words, his heart beat faster.

"Mr. Chen..."

Chen Zhengwei patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Mr. Mayor, would you like to think about it for a while?"

"Houston will fight the KKK with all its might!" Morris said immediately.

"You are thinking about cracking down on the KKK now, but what have you done before? Besides, you haven't told me what the relationship between your family and the KKK is?" Chen Zhengwei and Morris were talking arm in arm. Although outsiders couldn't hear what they were saying, they could tell that Morris was very nervous.

Morris's forehead was covered in sweat and his hands were constantly moving his fingers behind his back.

This is what he does when he's nervous.

Many people who know him know this.

"Mr. Chen, Walter did have some relationship with the KKK, but he has cut ties with the KKK. This incident has nothing to do with him. And the Houston City Government will fully cooperate with Mr. Chen!" Morris said.

"Is that so? That's the best! After all, I think Mayor Morris seems like a good person! There are so many people at the banquet today, and I still need to talk to other people. I'll go to the city hall building to see you tomorrow."

"Welcome to Mr. Chen!" Morris breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and then he felt his back was wet with sweat.

Chen Zhengwei patted Morris on the shoulder and then walked towards the other guests.

"What are you guys talking about? Do you mind chatting with me?" Chen Zhengwei walked up to them and said with a smile.

"Is there anything you can tell me about the KKK?"

"You are all local tyrants, you must know more than me!"

"Mr. Chen, I don't know much..." a congressman said gritting his teeth.

"You don't know much? You local bullies don't know much, or you don't want to tell me? Or are you a member of the KKK?" Chen Zhengwei had a smile on his face, but his eyes became dangerous.

"Although I don't know much, I can still tell Mr. Chen what I know. It would be my greatest honor if I could provide any help to Mr. Chen!" the congressman said quickly.

"Speak faster next time and don't breathe heavily! Did your mother teach you that if you talk like this, it can easily kill people?" Chen Zhengwei patted his shoulder.

The congressman turned pale.

"Yes, I know a little. I know a person who must be a member of the KKK! From his usual conversations, it can be seen that he is very hostile to other ethnic groups. Moreover, the KKK from the original port often goes to his house!" The congressman said stiffly.

Chen Zhengwei called his henchman and asked him to write down the name and address of a man who was a cotton trader.

"Is there anything else? Besides this person...what else do you know about the KKK?" Chen Zhengwei continued to ask, and after a moment turned his gaze to other people.

"And you guys? Is there anything you want to tell me? It'd better be something I don't know."
