The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 499 Walking Dollar

In San Antonio, a white man ripped up a newspaper.

"That Chinese is declaring war on us!"

"He thinks he can defeat us like this? He's dreaming! Let's go and kill him first!"

In Dallas, a white man stepped on a wooden box and said angrily, "Call our knights and kill that Chinaman!"

Chen Zhengwei's words in the newspaper not only angered Wilkes, but also angered other KKK members.

Even the dumbest person can understand that if they can get $30 for reporting them, many people will report them... Pedestrians on the street, their neighbors, and even people they work with, will report them without hesitation as long as they find out their identities.

By then, their scalps will be made into boots like those of the Indians.

So they have to fight back, and fight back fiercely enough to scare everyone.

Therefore, Wilkes decided that he must teach Chen Zhengwei a lesson and took people to Houston.

In some other cities in Texas, KKK members who were not under Wilkes' control also gathered people and went to Houston to teach Chen Zhengwei a lesson.

Especially after Chen Zhengwei's speech, reporters ran to ask the mayor of Houston.

The mayor of Houston confirmed the incident and stated righteously that Houston will crack down on the KKK thugs.

……

Over the next two days, more Chinese people arrived in Houston.

Aaron arranged his men to go to Houston along several routes to avoid being ambushed.

Fortunately, there were no problems with these routes, but the arrival times were staggered by several days.

After these people arrived, Chen Zhengwei asked Schultz to settle them down.

Starting from the morning of the third day, as trains arrived one after another, some white people would pretend not to know each other after getting off the train and leave the train station separately.

They were either wearing somewhat old gentlemen's suits or jeans and cotton shirts. What they had in common was that they did not look very decent and did not look like tourists.

"Boss, there are a lot of new faces at the train station today!" Green walked up to Chen Zhengwei and said.

"They are all British and Irish, dressed normally, and don't look like tourists!"

"I've got someone keeping an eye on them!"

"It looks like I poked the rat's nest and kicked the rats out!" Chen Zhengwei smiled. The other party's actions were completely within his expectations.

"They like to use violence, and I like to use violence too. Do you know what's the difference between me and them?" Chen Zhengwei asked Green with some sarcasm.

"The boss is smarter than them. Using violence is only one of the boss's options, and the boss often uses it in conjunction with other means!" Green said after careful consideration.

In fact, he had thought about this matter a long time ago.

In this era, there are many people who like to use violence, but no one is as successful as Chen Zhengwei.

Whether in San Francisco or Chicago, if you observe Chen Zhengwei carefully, you will find that he will use other means besides violence.

For example, he would buy off and bribe people to make the authority his own, and then he would use violence.

No one could stop him at this time.

Or they may first use violence to intimidate the other party, and then bring them enough benefits, such as the gangs across the United States.

"You're right!" Chen Zhengwei praised.

"I like to use violence because it's the easiest. But violence is only one of my options!"

"And they... only use violence. When they encounter something beyond their control, they have no other choice. So their actions are easy to guess!"

"In addition, the KKK is more like a religion. They have their own beliefs and religious hierarchy. They value their skin and honor and are fanatical about it. This is a knife that will stab the enemy, but it will also stab itself at critical moments."

Chen Zhengwei analyzed casually.

He had considered this model before, to shape common ideals and beliefs among the Chinese.

But after analyzing the pros and cons, I gave up.

"Let Schultz send out the invitations. I'm organizing a banquet tomorrow night to raise funds to fight the KKK!"

"Scatter our people out there and have them search for the KKK in the suburbs of Houston and the countryside."

"Leak this news out and give them a chance to take action!"

"Prepare some KKK clothes, and we will also arrange some manpower to help them when the time comes," said Chen Zhengwei.

Even if these KKK members hadn't come, he was prepared to do it himself, and the blame would always be put on them.

Once he does this, he can leave Houston and head to other cities in Texas.

Like he said, what's happening in Houston is just the beginning.

He's going to fight the KKK throughout Texas.

He wants everyone to understand one thing: no matter who you are, you should avoid him and stay away from him.

If anyone dares to provoke him, he will get angry and dig up your roots.

After Green left, Chen Zhengwei leaned on the sofa and thought about who to kill.

The mayor of Houston is the best choice.

After all, he had a good relationship with the mayor of Houston, and had just signed a contract to hire 2000 people from a security company to assist the Houston Police Department in combating the KKK.

He also publicly stated that he would crack down on the KKK.

It was only natural for the KKK to retaliate against him.

No one could imagine that he did it.

After he dies, his successor will still strictly enforce the contract between the two parties and will have better control than him.

Chen Zhengwei felt that his plan was very comprehensive and nothing would go wrong.

But something went wrong soon. Police Chief George Esther came to the hotel in a hurry.

"Mr. Chen... I received a report that many suspicious people appeared in Houston. They might be the KKK..."

Those KKK members had just arrived in Houston not long before they were reported!
And there is more than one whistleblower. In the past hour or so, more than a dozen people came to report!

After all, this is walking US dollars.

No matter whether the other party is right or not, report it first.

What if that’s the case!
George Esther came to ask for reinforcements. There are less than 50 people in the entire Houston Police Department, but there are no less than 200 suspicious people who arrived in Houston today.

If Chen Zhengwei did not send people to help, it would be difficult for the Houston Police Department to arrest all these people.

Chen Zhengwei said expressionlessly: "They are just small fish and shrimps. Just take your men to catch them."

"Record the names of the informants, and pay the rewards after all these KKK members are busted."

George Esther's body suddenly froze.

"If you can't even do this, what's the point of having the Houston Police Department?"

……

Green quickly started sending out invitations according to Chen Zhengwei's instructions.

"Mayor Morris, our boss asked me to send you an invitation. Tomorrow night, a banquet will be held at the Hutchins House to raise funds for the bonus for fighting the KKK! The money will then be handed over to the Houston City Government to pay the bonus!"

"It is my job to fight the KKK. I will be there on time!" Joseph Morris nodded.

After Green left, Joseph Morris leaned back in his chair with a look of unwillingness in his eyes.

Ever since Chen Zhengwei arrived in Houston, the city has completely changed, and even he, the mayor, has to do things according to Chen Zhengwei's requirements.

He now feels a little regretful that he should have helped the Chinese man who was burned to death to drive out the KKK.

That Chinese man and the KKK are much easier to deal with than Chen Zhengwei.

Not as strong as Chen Zhengwei.

But it’s no use thinking about these things now, I can only take one step at a time.

Other celebrities and politicians also received invitations from Chen Zhengwei, and agreed to attend and were prepared to pay a sum of money.

No one dared to refuse.

Those who didn't come to the party last time are now buried.

……

That afternoon, a violent gun battle broke out in the suburbs of Houston.

A dozen KKK members who had just arrived in Houston were arrested by police after being reported as suspicious.

The police station mobilized most of its personnel, more than 30 people, and engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the other side.

One agent was killed on the spot and three others were injured.

Four KKK members were killed on the spot, five were injured, and six or seven escaped.

Later, a group of Chinese people in hunting clothes joined the capture and chased all the way out of the city.

……

The next day at noon, Chen Zhengwei said while eating breakfast:

"Arrange some personnel to kill Mayor Morris by pretending to be members of the KKK before the banquet tonight!"

Schultz was surprised when he heard the order. He knew that Chen Zhengwei wanted to take the opportunity to do something, but he didn't expect that he wanted to kill Morris.

You should know that Morris has just reached a cooperation with Chen Zhengwei on behalf of the Houston City Government, and also strongly supports Chen Zhengwei in fighting the KKK.

Chen Zhengwei actually wanted to kill him.

"Are you surprised?" Seeing Schultz standing there in a daze, Chen Zhengwei asked casually.

"Yes, I was a little surprised!" Schultz nodded honestly.

"Remember, kill his younger brother too!" Chen Zhengwei did not explain, but continued to give orders.

Schultz suddenly realized that he suddenly remembered that Joseph Morris's brother, Walter C. Morris, was also a member of the KKK.

It seems that the boss still hasn't let go of what happened to Rong Jiasheng before.

"Boss, what about the arrangements at the hotel? The KKK should have received the news, and now someone is watching this place. They may send someone to attack at night."

"Of course, let them come, and then catch them all in one swoop," said Chen Zhengwei.

At the same time, in a house in the suburbs of Houston.

Wilkes, the "Big Dragon," and several other KKK "Big Giants" (internal positions, county leaders) from other cities were sitting together to discuss.

Although they came to Houston separately, they soon got in touch and gathered together.

"Some of our compatriots were captured and killed last night!" Wilkes said to the crowd.

"It's all because of that yellow monkey!" said a very rude white man angrily.

"Yes! In the eyes of many people, we are now walking dollars. This situation is terrible! So we must unite now and give him the most fierce counterattack!"

Wilkes said in a deep voice:
"That yellow monkey will hold a banquet at the hotel tonight and invite all the rich and famous people in Houston to donate money at the banquet to raise funds as bonuses!"

"We have to take action at that time!"

"We have to teach that yellow monkey a lesson and let him know that he has made a huge mistake!"

"This is our territory, not a place where he can do whatever he wants!" On the table in front of Wilkes was a map of the streets around the hotel.
