Lambda Company is easy to find, and walkie-talkies are even easier to find.

Because the goods need to be delivered tomorrow, they are temporarily stored tonight and piled up in the most conspicuous place in the warehouse.

The security guards are outside and won't enter the warehouse.

The sun had just set, and the afterglow still lingered. The security guard, holding a coffee, sat in a deck chair, lost in thought.

Chen Zheng entered the warehouse, first taking away the walkie-talkie, then circling the warehouse, storing everything in his storage space regardless of whether it was useful or not.

Foreign devils use these things to bleed China dry, making several times the profit, and Chen Zheng pays the customs duties on their behalf.

They took all the goods from one warehouse, and didn't leave out the others either, ensuring everyone got their share.

That night, another shocking case occurred in Shanghai!

All the foreign warehouses in the French Concession were looted.

From cars to matches and nails, nothing was left.

The police searched the warehouse for a long time but found no useful clues.

Even if you used your mother's broom, you couldn't sweep it this clean!

They're even more ruthless than bank robbers.

Tang Asheng was unaware of this matter and arrived at Lambde Company at dawn. The comprador in charge of receiving him was covered in sweat and kept wiping his forehead with a handkerchief.

"Sir, there's been a problem with your order. Delivery may be delayed by a few days. We hope you can understand."

Tang Asheng would certainly not agree:

"No, you urged me to come and pick up the goods yesterday, saying they were already in the warehouse. But after just one night, you changed your mind and want to raise the price? No way, we have a contract."

The comprador quickly explained:

"Mr. Tang, please don't be angry. It's not about the price. The item was indeed airlifted over yesterday. When we opened it at the warehouse, we found that the United States had sent the wrong goods. It wasn't a walkie-talkie at all, but something else. So you'll have to wait a few more days."

"Bullshit, do you think I'm a three-year-old? Fine, I don't want the stuff anymore. Give me back my deposit, and pay the penalty for breach of contract. We'll be even."

"Mr. Tang, if you want to return the goods, I can't make that decision. You'll have to talk to Mr. James."

"Then why are you wasting your breath talking to him? Tell him to come out."

The comprador had no choice but to call James.

James was in a huge mess right now, with everything gone from the warehouse, so he had no time to deal with this little trouble. He told the purchasing agent that he would only refund the deposit and not pay any penalty for breach of contract.

Tang Asheng argued with the comprador, but he only apologized. In the end, fearing that it would take up too much time, he took the deposit and left.

When we arrived at the shop, the workers were already at work.

Chen Zheng got up very early today and took Gu Ping to the house that Boss Du had given him. Unexpectedly, Gu Ping's master had already stayed there last night.

Upon seeing Gu Ping, the master burst into tears, repeatedly saying that he feared he would never see her again.

The house had a doorman, servants, cooks, and gardeners, so Chen Zheng didn't need to worry about anything. He let Gu Ping talk to his master while he went to the trading company.

Seeing that Tang Asheng had not come, he drank tea on the tatami mat in the middle courtyard.

We need to renovate this place sometime and put some traditional Chinese furniture in it, otherwise it's too uncomfortable to sit on our knees.

The Japanese pirates tried to imitate the Chinese kneeling posture, but they only grasped the basics and ended up with bowlegs.

Chen Zheng didn't want to become like the Japanese pirates.

Tang Asheng visited each room, and was startled when he saw Chen Zheng:

"Boss, when did you get here? I didn't see you."

"I've been here for a while, having some tea. Why are you so late?"

Tang Asheng took the tea Chen Zheng offered and drank it in one gulp:

"Hey, don't even mention it. The foreigners said the goods were shipped incorrectly and I have to wait a few more days. I got my deposit back, but they refused to pay the penalty for breach of contract. We argued for ages."

I thought Chen Zheng would be angry, but who is he anyway? He doesn't care at all.

"If you don't want it, then forget it. From now on, your focus will be on the trading company, mainly dealing with the Japanese pirates. I'll handle the foreign devils."

"But what about those walkie-talkies?"

"I also contacted another company, they should arrive today, so it won't delay anything."

Tang Asheng thought to himself, "As expected, he's still as cunning as a rabbit with three burrows, leaving no room for error."

As the two were talking, the contractor from yesterday came in:

"Manager, it's terrible! Those ronin from yesterday are here again. They're standing at the door and won't leave, demanding to see you."

His voice was trembling as he spoke.

Chen Zheng stood up:

"It's alright, I'll handle it. Old Tang, go to the back door and see if the people I called have arrived."

Tang Asheng found the back door, and as soon as he opened it, more than a dozen ronin rushed in.

But Tang Asheng could tell at a glance that these were not real ronin, but rather Chinese people in disguise.

Just as he was about to ask what was going on, Lu Shao pushed through the crowd and came over:

"You must be the second manager? Boss Chen sent us."

"Alright, alright, come in quickly and follow me."

At the entrance of the trading company, four ronin stood with their arms crossed. Seeing Chen Zheng emerge from inside, followed only by the foreman, their courage surged.

"Are you the head manager of this trading company?"

These ronin had been in Shanghai for a while, and their Chinese dialect was quite fluent. Chen Zheng glanced around and didn't see Oda, knowing it was him causing trouble again.

"I am who I am, what do you want with me?"

The leader of the ronin was furious, forgetting Oda's instructions, and pointed at Chen Zhengdao:

"You idiot! How dare you be so rude to the Japanese? Don't you want to keep your business afloat?"

Hearing the chaotic footsteps behind him, Chen Zheng stepped aside to make way.

"What I hate most are you ronin. You come here and don't even kowtow. What good are your legs? Leave one of your legs as an apology to me."

Lu Shao, dressed as a wanderer, walked at the front. Hearing Chen Zheng's words, he understood what to do.

"Baka! The reputation of the Japanese has been ruined by a bunch of idiots like you. You don't even deserve to be called ronin."

He then kicked the leader of the ronin to the ground. The other ronin tried to fight back, but were overwhelmed by the dozen or so men.

In less than a minute, four ronin lay on the ground, each with a broken leg, groaning like pigs in the New Year.

Chen Zheng sighed, "Professional matters should be handled by professionals. Gang disciples are the most suitable to deal with ronin."

Since they were dressed as ronin (masterless samurai), the other Japanese pirates just watched the spectacle and didn't interfere.

Tang Asheng was dumbfounded.

That's incredibly audacious. This is Japanese-occupied territory. Breaking the legs of four ronin in the street—aren't you afraid of trouble from the Japanese?

Chen Zheng didn't even look at the ronin on the ground. He thought to himself, "Oda, it's time for me to show up. Otherwise, who am I putting on this show for?"

Sure enough, Oda rushed over, pretending to wipe his sweat while shouting:

"Shopkeeper, please have mercy! It's all a misunderstanding..."

Upon seeing the four twisted human legs, Oda's calves cramped up a bit.

I thought that only Mr. Li was someone I couldn't mess with, because he knew a lot of important people in Japan.

I never thought that even this returned overseas Chinese was not someone to be trifled with!

Yesterday, Oda approached four of his ronin friends about kowtowing and apologizing, but the ronin refused to agree.

They kept insisting that Chen Zheng should see it.

Oda explained the pros and cons for a long time, but the ronin still refused to agree.

Having no other choice, Oda had to resort to his ultimate move: his beautiful wife.

After one night, the four reluctantly agreed and came over to apologize.

However, they have a condition: if the person surnamed Li is not present, and only the person surnamed Chen is present, they must first weigh the other party.

If someone is truly someone you can't afford to offend, then kowtowing and admitting your mistake isn't out of the question.

But if the other party is a coward, not only will they not apologize, but they will also try to extort money from them.

I never expected to break my own leg!
