The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 67 This is Chinatown
Almost in an instant, the casino was tense.

The people from the Investigation Bureau were pointed at by twenty guns. Their faces changed drastically, their scalps tingled, and they looked nervous.

"Put down the gun!" A copper button from the Investigation Bureau yelled at Chen Zhengwei while holding the gun tightly in both hands, his eyes nervously scanning the muzzles of the guns around him.

"I have more guns now... Why are you still so loud? You are really brave!" Chen Zhengwei grinned and pointed the muzzle of the gun at Michael's head. He moved his feet and hid behind Michael.

Seeing the guns around him, Michael confirmed his thoughts.

I have been fooled. The previous case was done by this young man behind the scenes.

"Have you ever thought about what the consequences of doing this will be?" Michael said, suppressing his anger.

"This is Chinatown, my territory. There are tens of thousands of people here, and it's a mixed crowd. A random bullet from the dark corners of the street can take your lives!" Chen Zhengwei sneered behind Michael's head.

"I can kill you in Chinatown at any time, and the Bureau of Investigation won't even know how you died! Guess what the Bureau of Investigation will do? I think the next person to take your place will definitely know better than you."

Michael clenched his fists and gradually calmed down. He finally realized that the young man behind him was completely different from other timid Chinese people. He was extremely courageous.

And what the other party said was right. The other party could kill me here at any time.

The Investigation Bureau would just have someone take over their position and then conduct the investigation, but it was hard to say what the results would be.

This is also the reason why the other party is so confident.

If the area where other ethnic groups live has such a densely populated and complex environment, it will definitely become a chaotic neighborhood that even their investigation bureau personnel would be reluctant to enter.

It’s just that the Chinese in the past were too weak, so he ignored the dangers of Chinatown.

Michael's inner arrogance did not allow him to bow his head, but he knew that his current situation was very dangerous. These people were completely different from the Chinese he had dealt with before.

"Let's talk!"

"Wouldn't it be better if you had this attitude earlier? You have to make a scene that embarrasses everyone!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

"Tell your men to put their guns down!"

The copper buttons from the Investigation Bureau put down their guns reluctantly, but two people put down their guns very quickly and without much psychological burden.

These two people had dealt with Chen Zhengwei once before, and they knew that this young man was completely different from other Chinese.

We cannot treat him the same way we treat other Chinese people.

Michael understood this now.

"Don't be nervous, just relax!" Chen Zhengwei put away his gun with a smile on his face.

If Michael was not honest, Chen Zhengwei could guarantee that he would shoot faster than him.

No one was faster than Chen Zhengwei in drawing and shooting.

Fortunately, Michael didn't do anything fancy. He just put the gun into the holster and turned to look at Chen Zhengwei with a bad look on his face.

No matter who is threatened with a gun to the head, they will feel bad.

Especially the Chinese people whom he had never taken seriously before.

"Sir, can you come to my office and have a chat?"

"I don't think we have anything to talk about!" Michael said coldly.

"Then you have to be careful when you walk..." The smile on Chen Zhengwei's face began to turn cold.

Michael felt furious. When had he ever been threatened like this?

Chen Zhengwei suddenly laughed, and the coldness on his face disappeared. He put his arm around Michael's shoulders and said, "It was just a joke. Why make things so awkward? We can definitely cooperate!"

"You need to manage the public security of Chinatown. I can help you deal with everything in Chinatown! Don't you want to catch the criminal? When you leave later, I can let you take the murderer of the previous case away!"

"You have to come here every week to collect the money. How troublesome is that? I'll help you with that. I'll send you all the money from the casinos and brothels every week!"

Chen Zhengwei took Michael's arm and walked upstairs. Michael was extremely uncomfortable with the change of attitude that was faster than turning the pages of a book.

After entering the office, Chen Zhengwei walked to the wine cabinet: "What do you want to drink? Whiskey or?"

"Whiskey!" Although Michael's face was still not very good, he knew in his heart that the other party was right.

If there was a force in Chinatown that cooperated with him, many things would be easy.

In particular, the other party has a huge advantage. Not only does they have their own power, but they also speak English very well, making communication easy.

But Michael still felt a little embarrassed.

Chen Zhengwei poured him half a glass of whiskey, then sat down on a chair, lit a cigarette, and said with a smile:
"I'm a very proud person. A police officer is not worthy of being my friend. Even if he's the squad leader in charge of Chinatown!"

Michael's face darkened, and his anger was aroused again. He felt that he was being despised. However, Chen Zhengwei smiled again, spread his hands and said, "But a future deputy director or even director will be no problem at all!"

"So as long as we become friends, I'm willing to help you!"

"How much money do you need for a promotion? I can write you a check when you need it! Five thousand...ten thousand? Or twenty thousand?"

"A fortune teller once said... Do you know fortune telling? It's your divination. The fortune teller said that my friends are all very lucky! So are you willing to be my friend?"

Chen Zhengwei looked at Michael with a smile and suddenly paused.

"By the way, I still don't know what to call you."

Michael's eyes narrowed, and he confirmed once again that the young man in front of him was completely different from other Chinese people.

When facing other Chinese people, he always holds the initiative.

At this time, the other party completely holds the initiative.

"Michael!" Michael thought for a moment and was somewhat moved by Chen Zhengwei's words.

"So, do you want to accept my friendship?" Chen Zhengwei stretched out his hand.

Friendship or bullets, you always have to choose one.

"I'm willing to cooperate with you!" Michael pondered for a moment, then stretched out his hand and shook hands with Chen Zhengwei. He actually didn't have much choice.

He also realized that the other party had not only taken the initiative but also been controlling his emotions since entering the casino.

Like a devil.

And you don't know if he will turn hostile in the next second! This brings him a lot of pressure.

"Right choice!" Chen Zhengwei laughed.

"Now we can talk about other things... By the way, I'll have someone catch the murderer for you. You can take them with you when you go back later!" Chen Zhengwei opened the door and said to Li Xiwen outside: "Go and find the scholar!"

But a moment later, the scholar came up: "Brother Wei!"

"Where are those people from Ansong Hall hiding? Go and capture a few of them and hand them over to them to take away!"

"It doesn't matter whether I live or die!"

"I'll do it right away!" The scholar's eyes were filled with admiration and excitement.

When the two sides were on the verge of a fight just now, he had only one thought in his mind: we're in trouble.

Unexpectedly, Chen Zhengwei actually pressed down those copper buttons!
Now it seems that the two sides can reach an agreement.

With the support of these copper buttons, it will be easier for them to do things in Chinatown in the future.

"Okay, Michael, the prisoner will be handed over to you in a moment! Let's talk about Chinatown. You have to go to various casinos, brothels, and opium dens to collect money every week. It's too troublesome and too embarrassing. I can help you solve it. Let those casino owners pay the money every month, and then you can come to me directly to collect it!"

In this way, Chen Zhengwei became the bridge between Michael and all the casinos and brothels in Chinatown, and then made his own rules.

Michael went from receiving money from the casino to taking money from him, and the relationship and subjects between the two parties completely changed.

He could even use this as an opportunity to get Michael into trouble with certain people.

“How much money did you get per week before?”

"Six hundred dollars!" Michael said after hesitating.

In fact, he couldn't get that much, because apart from some large casinos, many casinos and foreign food stalls were in the alleys, and they had people stationed at the street corners to watch them every day.

If they see someone from the Investigation Bureau, they will close the shop first.

The same is true for brothels.

As for the opium dens, most of them are hidden in laundries or other shops. Although they are clearly visible to the Chinese, they are very secretive to the people in the investigation bureau.

He could only get about four hundred dollars a week, and he had to share it with his subordinates. In addition, he had the habit of playing cards, so there was actually not much money left.

"Six hundred yuan?" Chen Zhengwei was a little surprised. This was much less than he expected.

In his opinion, Michael should get at least a thousand dollars a week! Obviously there is something he doesn't know.

Chen Zhengwei thought for a moment and said with a cheerful smile, "I guarantee that the money you get every week will exceed this amount!"

Michael felt better.

He has been frustrated today, but he will get an extra two hundred dollars a week in the future, which allows him to forget the previous little unhappiness.
