The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 68 Protest
"Michael, is it okay for me to call you that? You will realize in the future that making me your friend was the best decision you ever made." Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

"You don't look like a Chinese!" Michael said seriously.

In his impression, Chinese people are reserved and introverted, dirty and conservative, always wearing dirty clothes, and even in the United States they keep their country's braids. They have never thought about integrating into the United States, and will not deal with ethnic groups other than Chinese.

"That's why we became friends!" Chen Zhengwei laughed and picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Michael's.

Ding!
……

"Punish the murderer severely!"

“Chinese lives also count!”

Five or six hundred people holding signs marched across Portsmouth Square to the Hall of Justice on Colney Street across the street.

Walking in the front were some Chinese people wearing silk jackets, including the president of the Ningyang Association Wu Shiying, the vice president Lin Yuanshan, and several directors.

The people behind are all members of the Ningyang Guild. Wu Shiying has been preparing for this matter these days.

Even though he had some doubts about the cause of Huang Baoru's death, the laundry shop owner and workers were attacked. Even though he knew it was useless, he had to take some action to maintain his influence in the guild.

At least he is speaking up for the Chinese.

"Punish the murderer severely!"

"Punish the murderer severely!"

A few people at the front of the team waved their fists and led the others in shouting.

Wu Shiying and others naturally would not do such a thing, they just walked in front of the team.

A group of people arrived at the entrance of the Justice Hall and almost blocked the street. They seemed to be making a lot of noise and kept protesting in an attempt to put pressure on the Investigation Bureau. The noisy noise also reached inside the Investigation Bureau.

"Why is it so noisy? Chinese? What are they going to do?" The director of investigation looked out the window and saw the words on the banner.

"It seems to be because of the previous attack on Chinese workers! They should go back to their country, then they won't encounter such things." Another person in the director's office said sarcastically. He was a police chief from the Investigation Bureau.

"Where's Michael? Let him deal with them!" The director frowned. Those people were too noisy.

And it was so hot and he couldn't close the window.

This was just the extent of the pressure the Chinese people below brought to him.

After all, who cares about a group of people who can't make a sound?

Someone responded quickly.

"Michael seems to have gone to Chinatown!"

"Then go and deal with them! Make them quiet down!" the chief instructed the sheriff.

The sheriff left the chief's office and called a random person over: "Go and deal with those Chinese outside!"

"Just listen to what they have to say, then tell them we'll investigate and get them out of here!"

This approach is simple and easy to use.

Soon, Wu Shiying and other Chinese businessmen were taken to the Investigation Bureau, while the others waited in the sun.

……

Seeing Chen Zhengwei and Michael going downstairs together, both Chen Zhengwei's men and the other copper buttons felt relieved.

Chen Zhengwei reached out and took the money from Li Xiwen, then took out 200 yuan and stuffed it into Michael's pocket.

"I am very generous to my friends! You will know in the future that making friends with me is the right choice."

Then he walked to a copper button, counted out 30 dollars and put it into the other person's pocket. This made the other person not know how to react, so he had to turn his head to look at Michael.

Michael showed no expression.

"If I were you, I would say thank you, sir! After all, I really gave you money!" Chen Zhengwei looked at him with a smile.

When the copper button saw Chen Zhengwei's smiling expression, he felt a pressure coming towards him.

Just like Michael's feelings, he had no idea whether the other party would turn hostile in the next second.

"Thank you!" the brass button whispered.

"Very good!" Chen Zhengwei laughed, walked to the next copper button, counted out six 5-dollar bills, and stuffed them into his jacket pocket.

Then he waited for a moment and heard the person in front of him whisper, "Thank you." Chen Zhengwei then walked to the next person with satisfaction.

After stuffing 30 yuan into each brass button, Chen Zhengwei smiled and said, "We will be friends from now on. If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me. If you need help in Chinatown, you can also come to me!"

After he finished speaking, he walked outside, only to see a cargo carriage filled with several half-beaten men, who could only lie there groaning.

Several people were bleeding from axe wounds.

"You caught the criminal, made a great friend, and made a small fortune. You've won three times!" Chen Zhengwei laughed. These people from the Investigation Bureau really made a lot of money this time.

Michael knew that this was the prisoner Chen Zhengwei had prepared for them.

It doesn’t matter who the other party is, they have no way to refute it anyway.

"Old Chen, help them send these prisoners to the judicial hall!" Chen Zhengwei called to Chen Fengyu.

When Michael walked up to Chen Zhengwei, he paused, turned his head and nodded at him, then left with his men.

"Brother Wei, what if they do something tricky?" Rong Jiacai walked up to Chen Zhengwei and asked.

"I've already given them a chance. If they try to play tricks, kill them and replace them with obedient ones!" Chen Zhengwei sneered, and then ordered:

"Arrange some people to change clothes and stand guard at the entrance and exit of Chinatown. If there is any disturbance, come back and notify us immediately, and then everyone will evacuate! Come back after they leave."

Of course Chen Zhengwei wouldn't trust Michael so much, but he wasn't afraid of Michael playing tricks.

……

Michael and his group returned to the Hall of Justice in silence, and saw hundreds of Chinese standing at the door, holding banners in their hands.

When Michael saw the words above, he knew what they were here for.

protest.

Michael looked at them and thought about Chen Zhengwei, whom he had just met, and felt very strange.

Looking at those somewhat numb faces, he was sure that these were the Chinese people he knew.

These people saw that the Chinese people piled on Chen Fengyu's car were a little commotion, and then someone asked: "Old Chen, what's going on?"

After all, they are all from Taishan, and many of them know Chen Fengyu.

"They are a few prisoners!" Old Chen said after taking a look at them.

Michael then ordered the seriously injured Ansongtang members on the carriage to be thrown into jail. With their injuries, it was hard to say whether they could survive more than three days.

Of course, there is no need to consider whether they can survive until the court date.

Michael then went to inform his superior that the prisoner had been caught.

After returning to the office, Michael thought for a long time.

Along the way, he had been thinking about whether to take revenge on Chen Zhengwei, but after considering it for a long time, he gave up the idea.

On the one hand, the risk is too great. On the other hand, if I cooperate with Chen Zhengwei, it will be much easier to be responsible for the security of Chinatown in the future.

And you can get an extra 200 yuan per week, which is 800 yuan a month.

You have to know that his salary is only 40 yuan a month.

……

Wu Shiying and others were evaded for a long time at the Investigation Bureau and were very angry. When they left the Judicial Hall, they also saw several Chinese people who had been arrested.

After Wu Shiying came out, he asked his follower, "What happened?"

"It is said that there are several prisoners, who were brought here by Chen Fengyu in a horse-drawn carriage..."

"Chen Fengyu is from the Wencun Chen family..."

"The young and strong men from the Wencun Chen family and the Haiyan Yan and Rong families are now following that Chen..."

"That guy is trying to curry favor with these foreigners!" Wu Shiying immediately knew that this matter might be related to Chen Zhengwei, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence that Chen Fengyu just drove the car to deliver it.

Then he sneered: "Are these foreigners so easy to curry favor with? I'm afraid he will get nothing in vain!"

"These foreigners don't do anything humane. When it comes to getting benefits, they are greedier than ghosts, but when it comes to actually using them, they push it away completely!"
