The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 717 Did you grow up eating shit?

Randolph Churchill also showed a look of surprise when he received the telegram.

Have the Foreign Secretary and the Colonial Office gone mad?

Inciting the indigenous people to massacre the Chinese, causing the colony on the Malay Peninsula to almost come to a halt... If this is true...

Randolph Churchill thought of his previous meeting with Permanent Secretary Sir Julian Ponsonby in the cafe... The Ministry of Foreign Affairs did have a plan against Chen Zhengwei.

"The Malay Peninsula was also done by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?" Randolph Churchill felt that if it was true, then this matter had great value.

After thinking for a moment, he picked up his coat and went out.

He had to get some truth from Sir Julian Ponsonby.

Even if it costs something to do so.

"Any professional ethics in this world can be bought with money!" Randolph Churchill was very sure of this.

……

Chen Zhengwei's actions were also faster than anyone imagined.

Two and a half days later, a fleet flying the American flag appeared in the waters near Penang.

"Brother Wei, there is a British fleet! It should be the East India and Chinese fleets..."

"I'm not blind!" Chen Zhengwei put down the telescope in his hand. There were two British cruisers docked in the port, and there were also several gunboats.

There is also a cruiser and a protected ship on the sea.

He estimated that all the East India Fleet's staff had been sent here.

"With so many fleets, are they trying to scare me?"

"Fire a cannon to notify them! Have a supply ship dock first and inform them that we are entering the port!" Chen Zhengwei ordered.

Following the flag signal, all the gun bays on the side of the Warrior were opened, revealing a row of gun muzzles.

"What do they want to do?" The captain of the cruiser at sea was observing the fleet with a telescope and saw that the Warrior's gun compartment was open.

“Do they want to attack Penang?”

It was a bit ridiculous when he said this, he knew it was impossible.

The British Royal Navy is the most powerful fleet in the world, and no one dares to be rude in front of them.

However, Chen Zhengwei has always been rude.

Boom boom boom!
Accompanied by a row of cannon fire, a large amount of smoke covered one side of the ship.

Although it was a blank shot, it still scared the entire Penang population.

The customs officials at the port, the Chinese at the dock, and the people in the buildings near the port all looked up at the sea.

Even the Governor of the Straits Settlements, Sir Frederick Agor Wold Clarke, turned his eyes away from the paper in front of him.

"Who is setting off the cannon?" Sir Clark's secretary frowned.

"That guy is coming!" Sir Clark said lightly.

"It's about time!"

"That Chinese guy who causes trouble everywhere?" Sir Clark's secretary suddenly realized.

"If not him, who else could it be? But he dared to do this in Penang..." Sir Clarke stopped talking halfway, but the dissatisfaction on his face was obvious.

Does that Chinaman really think he can run rampant around the world?

In front of the British Royal Navy, his "fleet" was nothing.

Even the French cocks have to be humble before them.

And a Chinese guy who bought a retired warship in the UK actually dared to do this... No wonder the diplomatic department made plans against him.

It's time to teach him a lesson.

"Notify me when the customs officials arrive!" Sir Clark said to his secretary.

Although I really don't like Chen Zhengwei, I still have to meet him later.

After all, Chen Zhengwei's influence and status are not low.

……

"Here he comes! Chen Lao Hu is here!" In a building in Penang, several people were chatting, and a man in a long gown and a mandarin jacket walked in and said quickly.

"Really coming?"

"Where do you think the gunfire in the port came from?"

"That's the guy's usual style!"

"And I asked someone to check it out. There was indeed a fleet flying the American flag! It must be him!"

"Let's go to the port together!"

On the other hand, the gangs in Penang also received the news.

"Let's go and meet that Chen Lao Hu! I heard that he is just over 20? I'm a little curious if he really has three heads and six arms!" A young man in a mandarin jacket pushed the Pai Gow in his hand, stood up and walked out with his men.

"Brother Tai, don't open your mouth for a while. Otherwise, the boss won't let you go!" said a henchman on the side.

"Nonsense, how could I not know that?" said the young man.

His name is Lao Hu Tai. He has no dissatisfaction with Chen Zhengwei, he just wants to see the real Chen Zhengwei.

After all, the news about Chen Zhengwei has spread like wildfire among those people.

As a gangster, he felt a little bit unwilling to accept the situation.

Not long after he came out, he saw Yixing's boss Chen Yayan coming down from a small building. Next to Chen Yayan was a middle-aged man, not tall but sturdy. It was Zhang Yan.

He also rushed here from Singapore after hearing about the events in Perak and Selangor.

Chen Yayan and Zhang Yan took their men directly to the port.

The leaders of the gangs, including Yi Hai, Yi Fu, Hai Shan, He Sheng and Cun Xin, all took their men to the port.

The port was soon crowded with people.

"Wow, what a grand occasion! The big guys from all the gangs are here!" After Lao Hu Tai came over, he followed behind Ji Jiao Dong of the Hehe Society.

"Be careful with your words! Otherwise I will be the first one to deal with you!" Jijiaodong said to Laohutai.

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid!" Lao Hu Tai said immediately, looking at the warship in the distance, clicking his tongue.

It wasn’t long before several of the ships began to pull into port.

The Warrior immediately attracted everyone's attention: "Such a big ship! It's really majestic!"

Tiger Tai said with envy.

The thugs from other gangs also thought that the Warrior was impressive, but the Los Angeles and San Francisco were not small either, their armor just wasn't as thick as the Warrior's, but they were still equally huge.

With so many warships entering the port, the Chinese on the dock were all amazed.

These warships had already made their mark before Chen Zhengwei even appeared.

Even Tiger Tai has become much more honest.

The Chinese businessmen in the distance also felt somewhat emotional when they saw these warships.

"It's better to have guns and cannons in our hands. In this world, having money is useless. With warships like this, why would we be afraid of being bullied?" Ye Guansheng made a clicking sound with his tongue, thoughts turning in his mind.

Before that, he planned to send some people to San Francisco to take a look and leave a way out.

But after this incident, he decided to move his business to San Francisco.

Otherwise, what’s the point of making more money here?
Zheng Jinggui was known as the King of Thunderbolt Tin, and he had some influence in front of the British, but so what? Didn't he still have to run for his life?

He has been to the Governor's Palace several times, but now the British still have no reaction at all?
As the warship approached the shore, just as everyone stretched their necks to see Chen Zhengwei, a noise came from the back of the crowd. A team of British soldiers ran over and separated the crowd, and then several carriages passed through and stopped in front.

"The Governor's carriage! The Governor is here too!"

The crowd was whispering that they had only heard that Chen Zhengwei was very powerful overseas.

Most people do not believe it in their hearts.

It is impressive indeed, but it is definitely not as impressive as people say.

After all, no matter where they are, the white foreigners have the highest status.

Doesn’t even the Emperor Buddha in the capital have to pay compensation?
Now that I see the governor coming to the dock to greet me, I truly understand how great Chen Zhengwei's influence is overseas.

……

"There are so many people here, I like this kind of scene!" Chen Zhengwei stood at the bow wearing red trousers and a white shirt. He took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on his face, then grinned.

Lin Changning stood behind him in a moon-white silk cheongsam, with her trousers visible from the bottom of the cheongsam.

She is used to dressing like this now, wearing long pants underneath, with the sides opened wider but not affecting her movements.

And it’s easier to hide a knife in a skirt.

Anyway, Chen Zhengwei could always find some guns and knives on her at night.

Even after becoming a mother, she still couldn't change this bad habit.

As the ship pulled into the berth and the gangplank was put up, Chen Zhengwei staggered down from the boat with his hands in his pockets.

Li Xiwen and a dozen other people followed Chen Zhengwei with guns.

On other boats, thugs with guns also came down from the boats.

This made Governor Sir Clark frown, but he soon put on a smile and went over to greet them with some officials from the colonial government.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Chen! Welcome to Penang!" Clark smiled and extended his hand.

"I'm not feeling well at all now! I heard that something happened in the Malay Peninsula that was very unfriendly to the Chinese!" Chen Zhengwei stretched out his hand and shook the other's hand, grinning.

"Mr. Chen, some recent events have exceeded everyone's expectations! But things will calm down soon!"

"Really? It's been a few days since the riot? I heard you didn't do anything?"

"This is a misunderstanding! In fact, the colonial government has been working hard! It's just that some things are not known to outsiders! I am really surprised that Mr. Chen is so well-informed at sea!" Governor Clark's words were flawless!

"Why don't you tell me what you did?" Chen Zhengwei's smile was full of playfulness.

"Mr. Chen, are you doubting the ability of the colonial government?" Seeing that Chen Zhengwei was always aggressively causing trouble, Governor Clark's tone began to become somewhat unfriendly.

Especially since Governor Clark had brought people to greet him, but he questioned him in such a public place, which made Governor Clark feel a little embarrassed.

"Yeah, I really doubt your ability!" Chen Zhengwei grinned.

"As everyone knows, I am Chinese and have always been concerned about the living conditions of Chinese people overseas."

"And in the Malay Peninsula, under the rule of the Governor, such a large-scale riot has occurred, and the Governor has done nothing so far!"

"I just want to ask... Did you grow up eating shit?" Chen Zhengwei was wearing sunglasses, so others couldn't see his eyes, but they could feel the ferocity emanating from him from his tone and expression.

"You're going too far! China Chen, you are insulting a governor appointed by the Queen! Insulting a British aristocrat!" Governor Clark's face turned cold.

"Britain is the protectorate of Perak and Selangor. Anything in the Malay Peninsula will naturally be handled by the colonial government!"

"It's not your turn to question me yet!"
