The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 79 Sowing discord
It was a little after eight o'clock in the evening, not long after dark, and there were few people walking around Chinatown, except for various places for entertainment that began to become noisy.

Brothels, opium dens, foreign stalls, and gambling houses all began to be occupied.

In the casino on Lodz Street, Dayanchang looked at the guests in the casino, but his expression was not relaxed.

"Are those foreigners still over there?" Dayanchang walked around the casino and asked the men around him in a low voice.

"Yes……"

He got the news as soon as Michael and others entered Chinatown.

Michael then went to Sunningzai’s territory on Tavern Street.

He knew that Xin Ningzai would definitely let the foreigners cause trouble for him.

At this time, a henchman came up to Dayan Chang and said, "Brother Chang, those foreigners are coming out!"

Upon hearing the news, Dayanchang felt relieved.

The moment the knife has not yet fallen is the most disturbing. Now that the knife has already fallen, we should deal with it as it comes.

"Close all the doors, tell everyone inside to be quiet, and then go tell Willy!" Dayanchang ordered.

After a while, several casinos, brothels, and opium dens on the street closed their doors on the surface to prevent the foreigners from disturbing the customers inside.

A moment later, Michael and his men arrived at Lodz Street in a menacing manner, only to see that except for some grocery stores and restaurants, all other businesses on the street were closed.

"Officer, why are you here today?" Willy came up with a smile on his face.

"Someone reported that there are illegal and criminal activities here. Open these shops. I want to go in and search!" Michael didn't give Willy any good face at all. He walked to the door of a casino and kicked the door panel.

"Officer! These shops are closed and there's no one inside!" Willy took out a stack of 20 five-dollar bills and stuffed them into Michael's hand.

Michael took the 100 yuan, looked down, and sneered, "Want to bribe me? It seems that there is really something illegal here! I will use this money as evidence. I repeat, open the door, or I will open it myself!"

If he had received this money in the past, he would have been satisfied.

But with Chen Zhengwei as a partner, the 100 yuan is no longer important.

Although Michael didn't show it, he was somewhat afraid of Chen Zhengwei in his heart.

Chen Zhengwei changes his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. You never know when he might turn against you.

He is also very courageous. If someone told him that he was shot secretly, he might not believe it. But Chen Zhengwei definitely has the courage to do so.

Willy's face darkened when he heard this: "Officer, are you sure you want to screw us? We paid the money!"

"What money do I need to pay? How come I didn't know? And I'm here to mess with you! Open the door!" Michael said without any concealment.

Willy's eyes flashed with ferocity, but he suppressed his anger and took out another 100 yuan and stuffed it into Michael's pocket.

"Another piece of evidence!" Michael still had no intention of giving in and waved the money in front of Willy.

Willy cursed in his heart, it seemed that this bastard was really not going to let them go today, and it was useless to give them money.

Michael ordered his men to remove the door panels, and then rushed in with an oil lamp. He saw quite a few people in the casino, but they were all sitting there chatting.

"Officer, they are just chatting here...this shouldn't be illegal, right?" Willy said sarcastically as he stood aside.

All the gambling equipment in the casino was hidden, and a group of people were just gathered together chatting.

There is no law in San Francisco that prohibits group chatting.

"I suspect there are criminals among them. Detain them first and take them back for interrogation later! Search the others!" Michael ordered directly.

"Officer, are you really going to be so drastic?" Willy frowned.

It seems that Michael is determined to cause trouble for them. I don’t know how much benefits these bastards have received to work so hard.

After turning the casino upside down, Michael found nothing, so he ordered people to open the doors of other casinos and brothels, but the guests inside had already jumped out of the windows and escaped.

Michael directed his men to search for a long time before having them escort a dozen gamblers and the casino's thugs away.

After all this trouble, Danshan Hall will have no chance of doing business tonight.

Michael did not leave Chinatown, but went straight to the territory of the Agreement Hall. After sweeping the territory of Gou Gen, Michael led a group of gamblers away.

Lao Guidong, Dayanchang and Gougen were sitting in the teahouse. Gougen cursed loudly: "Those foreigners are fucking bastards. They took a lot of benefits before, and now they have taken benefits from Xinningzi and are looking for trouble with us. They show no mercy at all!"

After cursing for a long time, Gou Gen sat down angrily and asked, "What should I do next?"

"These people can be released tomorrow night at the latest!" Dayanchang said in a deep voice.

"Release a batch tomorrow, and then catch another batch at night? It's clear from their attitude that they want to kill us! Maybe they will come to raid our place every day!" Gou Gen shouted, slamming the table. He was really angry.

Dayanchang's face was gloomy, what Gougen said was what he was most worried about.

Then the two men looked at Lao Guidong.

"What are you looking at me for?" Lao Guidong looked at the two of them with flashing eyes.

"Our place has been raided, why is your place okay?" Gou Gen couldn't help but ask.

"Can't you see that? Our three gangs advance and retreat together, but he asked the foreigners to sweep your place but not mine. It's obvious that he is trying to sow discord!" Lao Guidong said unhappily.

Although he didn't show it on his face, he guessed in his heart that it must be the result of him having someone pass the message to Chen Zhengwei.

But of course he couldn't tell anyone about this.

Gou Gen just asked casually, he didn't doubt Lao Guidong.

After hearing what Lao Guidong said, he stopped talking.

"I don't know how much benefit Xin Ningzai gave to the foreigners to make them put in so much effort! Now the root is with Xin Ningzai. As long as he gives in, we can deal with these foreigners!" said Lao Guidong with a twinkle in his eyes.

"That bastard is a lunatic. How can he give in if we don't deal with him? If you want him to give in, you might as well think about how to deal with these foreigners!" Gou Gen said angrily.

"At worst we can close the casinos and opium dens for a few days. We can still afford these losses. Xin Ningzai will have to pay a heavy price if he wants to control these foreigners. Let's see how long he can hold out!" Lao Guidong thought about it and decided to wait and see.

……

Just as they expected, the people who were captured were released the next day.

However, Michael took people to sweep the area again, but this time he only swept the Danshan Hall and the Protocol Hall. These two halls had been prepared long ago, and the casino didn't even open its doors.

Michael took his men around the territories of the two gangs and then left.

Only Lao Guidong's territory remained unaffected.

In the casino on Tavern Street, Chen Zhengwei, wearing a shirt and holding a half-glass of whiskey in his hand, was leaning on the fence on the second floor, watching the commotion below.

"Brother Wei, the casinos and opium dens in Danshan Hall and Xieyi Hall are closed today. It seems they are going to hold on!"

"Then let them hold on and see how long they can hold on!" Chen Zhengwei shook the wine glass and took a sip.

Naturally, he deliberately let Lao Guidong go.

Even though they knew they were sowing discord.

But after a long time, Gou Gen and Dayan Chang would definitely not be able to bear it anymore.

After a few days, when Danshan Hall and Heyi Hall could no longer hold on, they spread the news that Lao Guidong had contacted them privately.

Maybe they will become chaotic themselves.

Even if they don't cause trouble, it doesn't matter. At worst, they can send someone to shoot Michael and then frame the Sanhetang.

Michael would go crazy.

Michael is his partner. If his partner was shot, he must stand up for him!

Michael will definitely be touched!

Not to mention Michael, even I was moved.
