The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 742: Life, old age, sickness and death are all contributing to Chen Zhengwei
At the pier, there were countless Chinese people gathered here. At a glance, all I could see was a sea of people.

Among them were Chinese businessmen wearing silk robes, leaders of chambers of commerce and gangs, and laborers wearing ragged clothes.

Knowing that Chen Zhengwei was leaving, many workers gathered here and wanted to see Chen Zhengwei, even if it was just a glimpse from a distance.

I also want to express my gratitude.

Chen Zhengwei is a popular figure among the Chinese in Malaysia, if not the most popular one.

Of the 200,000 Chinese in Perak and Selangor, more than 10,000 died in the riots, and many more died in the subsequent sieges.

Nearly 17 people were rescued.

Most of them have been sent to Ryukyu, but some are still in Penang, not to mention the local Chinese in Penang.

A group of people looked at the warships setting sail from the port from time to time and sighed constantly.

Having such a warship is the foundation for our survival.

After waiting for a long time, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance, and several carriages appeared on the street in the distance.

"I'm coming!"

"Make way, make way for a path, you are blocking the road!"

As the carriage approached, Lin Changning said from inside the carriage, "Many people have come to see you off, why don't you get off and say a few words?"

"What is there to say?" Chen Zhengwei said nonchalantly.

There was no intention of getting off the bus.

The carriage just passed through the crowd.

I don't know who started it, but the workers on both sides suddenly knelt down one after another, and then they all knelt together.

"Thank you Mr. Chen!"

"Thank you Mr. Chen for saving my whole family..."

"Thank you Mr. Chen for saving the Chinese..."

Many voices converge together like a river flowing into the sea.

"Everyone remembers what you did!" Lin Changning felt a warm current surging in his body. Only by seeing it with one's own eyes could one feel the shock.

"It's their life-saving grace. If they don't remember it, I should remember it!" Chen Zhengwei curled his lips.

He has never really been interested in this.

Chen Zhengwei rang the bell to signal the carriage to stop, opened the window and looked outside. The sound was not loud, but it could be heard from far away.

"You don't have to kneel. I don't like that! Remember to owe me the boat fare when you get to America!"

Seeing this, Lin Changning was also a little amused.

Even if it's a good thing, Chen Zhengwei always goes against others.

She felt that Chen Zhengwei was actually a very twisted person.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen..." The workers at the port continued to express their gratitude.

Several people from the Chamber of Commerce asked their men to tell those people to stand up: "Mr. Chen has already said that kneeling is not allowed, so everyone stand up."

Chen Zhengwei's carriage had already passed through the crowd and stopped at the pier.

Chen Zhengwei got off the carriage and stretched himself, while people watched from afar.

"Mr. Chen!" Those wealthy Chinese businessmen and people from the chamber of commerce and gangs came over and bowed to see him off.

“They were also full of gratitude just now!”

"It doesn't matter! Anyway, they will work for me when they arrive in the United States! Tell them to work hard. They can live well and I can earn more." Chen Zhengwei waved his hand.

It's more than just giving him jobs. He has shares in many factories in Los Angeles. He owns the school and the hospital. If he opens two more coffin shops, then everyone from birth to old age, sickness to death will contribute to him.

"I left someone at the hotel. If anything happens here, go find them. If they still can't handle it, ask them to send me a telegram!"

"The remaining people can be sent away in two months. The rest of you can just take care of yourself!"

While Chen Zhengwei was talking to those Chinese businessmen, fireworks flew towards him in the air and tried to land on his head, but Chen Zhengwei raised his hand and brushed it aside.

Then he fell on Chen Zhengwei's arm with grievance, bit his clothes and climbed onto Chen Zhengwei's shoulder, rubbed his head against Chen Zhengwei's cheek affectionately, and then looked at the Chinese businessmen and the gang leaders and said, "You street thief, can you talk? Say something!"

Everyone burst into laughter and looked at the fireworks in amazement.

After all, this kind of macaw is a specialty of South America. This is the first time I have seen it here. It is much larger than other birds and has brighter feathers.

"Okay, that's it!"

Chen Zhengwei waved his hand, turned around and led his men on board.

Some Chinese businessmen have already gone to the United States.

As for the rest, most of them will pass once things here are settled.

This time, these Chinese businessmen also suffered heavy losses.

In particular, they had a lot of contracts with Chinese workers, all of which were scrapped.

Given the current situation on the Malay Peninsula, it is difficult to monetize their industries, and they can only find ways to sell them at low prices.

There were also several Chinese businessmen who boarded the ship with Chen Zhengwei, who were hitchhiking to Singapore.

When I got on the boat, I saw that in addition to the thugs, there were also many white waitresses on the deck, all of whom were very beautiful.

These waitresses occasionally get off the ship these days, and some people have heard of them.

"Boss! Madam!" The waitresses stood in two rows. The Chinese businessmen who followed them on board were shocked. Chen Zhengwei's show was too extravagant.

"Arrange accommodation for them! They will stay on the boat for one day!" Chen Zhengwei ordered.

It takes 27 hours to get from Penang to Singapore.

Then he turned around and said to the Chinese businessmen, "You can go to your rooms, as well as the living room, dining room, bowling room and golf room in the cabin!"

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!" several people said hurriedly.

The few people on the boat certainly didn't dare to run around, for fear of accidentally displeasing Chen Zhengwei.

Although Chen Zhengwei is regarded as a well-known figure in Malaysia, he is ruthless when it comes to killing people, and he doesn't care whether you are a foreigner or a Chinese. After entering the cabin, everyone was even more amazed at the luxury of this ship.

"Mr. Chen's ship is priced at a price that we dare not even think about!"

"The modification cost is almost one million US dollars!" Chen Zhengwei was immediately in a good mood.

This ship has been out for so long, and finally someone asked how much it costs.

Several people gasped.

……

A day later, at the Singapore dock, a group of wealthy Chinese businessmen were waiting there.

"Why are they all gathered together? The owner of Guangli, Boss Xie Wanfeng, and Chen Jinsheng are also here. They are all big shots!" The coolie at the dock squatted aside and whispered.

"I heard that Chen Lao Hu is here!" someone who knew the situation said immediately.

"I heard that Chen Lao Hu killed a lot of natives in Malaysia! Even the British couldn't do anything to him! He is so impressive! If a person can achieve this, it is worth dying for."

"I don't know how many people are hoping that Chen Lao Hu will live a hundred years! He has saved hundreds of thousands of people, saving countless lives. Who among those people doesn't want him to live a hundred years?"

"Besides, we are in Nanyang, and we have to look at the faces of the foreigners every day and get bullied by them. With such a powerful character, those foreigners dare not go too far!"

"I heard that a few days ago, all the wealthy merchants in Southeast Asia went to Penang to see him. Even the wealthy merchants from the Dutch East Indies and the Philippines came!"

"Comparing people will make you die, and comparing goods will make you throw them away. Look at them... Tsk!"

"I heard that Chen Lao Hu is eight feet tall and has an eight-foot waistline. I don't know if it's true or not!"

"We'll know after a while."

As the coolies were talking, Chen Zhengwei's boat came into sight.

The port had already reserved a berth for Chen Zhengwei.

Lin Changning changed her clothes and was in high spirits.

On the deck, he pointed to a row of wooden houses and said excitedly, "My home is in Chinatown."

Chinatown is the center of the Chinese community and the place with the largest Chinese population.

Also, the people there are mainly Fujianese.

"Don't you want to ask me why it's called Chinatown?" Lin Changning turned his head and said when he saw that Chen Zhengwei didn't respond.

"Why is it called Chinatown?" Chen Zhengwei also noticed that Lin Changning was in a good mood. She would never say this normally.

Like a little girl.

After all, we are home!
"We have to use oxcarts to transport water from the well, so it's called oxcart water..." said Lin Changning.

After getting off the boat, people from the security company were waiting at the port, as well as Zhang Yan, Zhang Ziang, and those wealthy businessmen from Singapore.

The coolies in the distance were staring at Chen Zhengwei as he got off the boat.

Standing in the crowd, Chen Zhengwei was more than a head taller than everyone else.

Chen Zhengwei was not very happy at this time. He had been dealing with this group of people every day recently and he was annoyed.

"I just came to take a look, you guys go and do your own thing! Just keep Uncle Zhang company!"

Chen Zhengwei's face darkened a little, and a murderous aura emerged. Others didn't even dare to breathe.

"They came to pick you up with good intentions!" Lin Changning turned his head and said.

Then he comforted the Chinese businessmen: "We just came back to take a look, there is no need to make too much trouble! We have already met those we should have met in Penang before, and we have already said everything we should have said."

"Yes, yes, we were rude! We disturbed Mr. and Mrs. Chen." The Chinese businessmen wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

"If Mr. and Mrs. Chen need anything in Singapore, please let us know at any time!"

Then he said goodbye and left.

After sending the others away, Lin Changning said excitedly:
"Uncle Master! Let's go to Chinatown! Is the house still there?"

"I've cleaned it up for you! It's different now. Every household has someone watching over it. It's cleaned eight times a day!" Zhang Yan said with a smile.

The group boarded a horse-drawn carriage and headed for Chinatown. Along the way, they could see Chinese people everywhere on the street, many of whom were looking at the carriage.

Lin Changning enthusiastically introduced Chen Zhengwei: "This is the port area, where coolies live. Next to it is Hakka Street, where Hakka people live!"

"That's Guildhall Street. There are many guildhall there, such as the Guangdong Guildhall, the Fujian Guildhall... Oh, and there's also the Ningyang Guildhall! It's one of the earliest guildhall in Singapore!"

Chen Zhengwei is from Xinning and was born in Ningyang Guild Hall.

Now even the Ning Yang Association in Singapore is experiencing a surge in popularity.

The Chinese businessmen who just came to pick up Chen Zhengwei also included people from the Ningyang Guild Hall.

"That's Kampong Glam, which is mostly populated by Malays and Arabs. There are also quite a few Chinese there, mainly Hainanese and Teochew people!"

"This is Theater Street... I loved running here the most when I was a kid..." Lin Changning's eyes were filled with memories. When she was a kid, she thought actors looked great in their costumes and she liked coming here to watch them.

The first murder also took place here.

"Singapore is not very big, but its population is quite complex!" Chen Zhengwei said with a sigh.

After a while, the carriage arrived at the back alleys of Chinatown.

"The street is more prosperous, but this side is much quieter."

Lin Changning got off the carriage. In front of him was a yard with a sign of Lin's Martial Arts School hanging on it.

Outside the martial arts hall, there were a few burly men who were a little excited when they saw Lin Changning. They opened their mouths but didn't know what to call out.

Especially Chen Zhengwei, who got off the carriage with Lin Changning, gave people a huge sense of oppression just by standing there.

Chen Zhengwei's name has long been known throughout Singapore.

Nowadays, there is no Chinese in Singapore who doesn’t know him.

These martial arts disciples immediately felt uneasy when facing Chen Zhengwei.
