The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 81 Let them swim back by themselves
Everyone went to the dock and were stopped by people from the Investigation Bureau.

"We're going to get some prisoners on the ship!"

"Criminal?" The other party shrugged, easily made way, and then reminded: "Don't get close to the fire!"

A wooden boat on the edge of the dock was burning with fire, so of course no one would get close to it.

After searching for a while on the dock, Rong Jiacai suddenly pointed at a sailing ship and said, "This should be it!"

After all, there are slight differences in the shape and size of ships between the East and the West, especially those that transport Chinese workers are mostly old sailing ships, which are easy to identify.

At this time, several sailors on the bow were looking at the fire in the distance, careful that the fire would burn to their side.

Michael raised the oil lamp above his head so that the other party could see his identity clearly, and shouted loudly: "Investigation Bureau people, lower the ladder!"

The sailors looked down, then one of them changed his expression and left in a hurry.

After confirming Michael's identity, the others went to call the captain while lowering the ladder.

Chen Zhengwei and his group climbed onto the boat. The captain was also woken up and came over wearing a coat.

"You are?"

"Investigation Bureau, we are looking for a few people who stole this gentleman's money!" Michael glanced at Chen Zhengwei next to him.

The captain looked at what Chen Zhengwei and his group were wearing and thought about what he had learned over the past two days.

People like them who work on ships all year round will inquire about news wherever they go, and the most prominent person in San Francisco's Chinatown recently is Chen Zhengwei.

Especially their clothes are easy to recognize.

"Excuse me, is your last name Chen?" A captain who can sail across the ocean must be no pushover, but having heard something about Chen Zhengwei in the past two days, he asked carefully.

"You're well-informed! Hand the person over!" Chen Zhengwei said playfully.

"It is indeed Mr. Chen. I have been hearing Mr. Chen's name since I came to Chinatown this time, but I have never had the chance to visit him." The captain said carefully, holding Chen Zhengwei in his hands.

"I wonder if there's some misunderstanding?"

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, we'll know after we call out everyone on your ship!"

The captain thought for a moment, then had everyone called over and asked, "Who is the person that Mr. Chen said stole your things?"

"We are from Yi Hai!" Seeing that the captain had a good attitude, Chen Zhengwei told him casually.

He has always been a person who gives me a foot of respect. I will consider whether to give him a yard of respect depending on my mood.

Hearing this answer, the captain finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, all the crew members on the ship were called over. There were more than twenty people in total, all of them were bronze-muscled men with fierce temperaments.

"Is everyone here?"

"Some people are resting in Chinatown. After all, a boat trip is tiring..." explained the captain.

This trip takes about forty days. After docking, we naturally have to get off the boat to have some fun.

Chen Zhengwei looked at everyone and asked directly, "Who was at the bow and left?"

After waiting for half a minute, no one spoke.

"You don't want to say anything, right?" Chen Zhengwei took out his gun and pointed it at the nearest sailor's forehead: "You say it!"

This man was always at the bow, and he must know who had left.

The other sailors became agitated upon seeing this.

"Mr. Chen!" The captain's face darkened.

However, the people led by Rong Jiacai directly took out their guns and pointed them at everyone.

"Everyone be quiet!"

Michael took a look at the situation on the field, ignoring the guns in the hands of Rong Jiacai and others, as if he saw nothing, and said directly to the captain: "It is better to let your people tell the truth!"

The captain was a little surprised by Michael's attitude.

"You don't even say that? Are you so loyal?" Chen Zhengwei pressed the hammer down with his thumb, a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

The sailor with the muzzle of the gun against his head swallowed his saliva and quickly pointed at the two people: "Blind man and Old Huang!"

The faces of the two people who were pointed out changed. The one called the blind man quickly explained: "I'll go inform the captain!"

The other person's face turned pale: "I'm going to call other people..."

"Who was the first to leave?" Chen Zhengwei put down his gun and sneered at the two men. "It was him..." The blind man looked directly at the other man.

"Very good... then it's you. Tell me, where is the person?" Chen Zhengwei sneered.

"I..." Old Duan hesitated for a moment, but looking at the dozen gun muzzles in front of him, it was obvious that the other party was not someone he could reason with.

The desire to live overcame greed, and he said, "They are hiding in the boxes in the storage room..."

"Wouldn't it have been better if you were so honest earlier? Go and bring those people back to me, along with the things they had!" Chen Zhengwei said to Rong Jiacai and the others.

Rong Jiacai and others went to arrest people, and Chen Zhengwei said to the captain: "Come to my territory to find me at noon tomorrow!"

The captain's heart skipped a beat again: "Mr. Chen, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Don't worry, I'm just asking you about transporting people here!" Chen Zhengwei took out cigarettes, threw one to Michael, and then threw one to the captain.

Michael's eyes lit up after he lit up the cigarette: "Chen, where did you buy this cigarette?"

"The best tobacco, rolled by eighteen-year-old girls on their thighs. And there is nothing artificial on them when they roll it. Each pack of cigarettes has its own aroma..." Chen Zhengwei lied to Michael with a smile.

His cigarette factory is preparing for this, but it is not easy to recruit people.

What he took was drawn from the system.

"Sounds great!" Michael's eyes brightened, and he seemed to feel that there was some kind of aroma in the tobacco.

He had never imagined that cigarettes could be such a luxury. It simply opened the door to a new world.

Even the captain next to him was amazed and had more topics to talk about in the future.

"I'll give you some later!" Chen Zhengwei laughed, patted Michael on the shoulder, and then turned to look at the captain.

The captain lit up a cigarette with a smile: "The taste is indeed different! Since Mr. Chen said so, it would be ungrateful for me to say no."

He roughly guessed what Chen Zhengwei's purpose was. It was nothing more than those piglets. There were several gangs in Chinatown doing this business.

But unlike what he thought, Chen Zhengwei just felt that there were too few Chinese people in San Francisco.

He just wanted to find out more about the situation and try to organize a fleet to bring more Chinese people over.

With more Chinese people, even if they just go to work and then spend money in Chinatown, they can bring themselves continuous value.

What’s more, when there are more Chinese people, their voices will be louder and their influence will be greater.

The louder the voice a Chinese can make, the louder his voice will be.

……

A moment later, Rong Jiacai and others came out, dragging a few people with them.

"These guys still want to run away!" Rong Jiacai kicked one of them.

There were scars from axes on the bodies of these people. The most serious one had a chest wound so deep that the bone was visible. It was obvious that he was not going to survive.

"They like to run, give them a chance later!" Chen Zhengwei sneered. "Where are my things?"

Rong Jiacai took a bundle from the man behind him and handed it to Chen Zhengwei.

When Chen Zhengwei reached out to take it, he felt it was heavy.

Letting Li Xiwen hold the oil lamp, Chen Zhengwei walked aside and opened the bundle. Inside was indeed a pile of US dollars, some gold bars, jade and the like, in addition to these there were also two land deeds and a promissory note for 5000 yuan.

"Someone owes me so much money? I almost forgot!" Chen Zhengwei used the light of the oil lamp to see the handwriting on the IOU clearly, slapped his head, and suddenly realized.

After making sure that there was no problem, Chen Zhengwei packed the bag and threw it to Li Xiwen.

He walked up to Ah Song and squatted down: "How dare you take my things?"

"You will not die well..." Asong's face was covered in blood, and he squeezed out the words from between his teeth.

"I walk and sit upright, eat well and sleep well. Fortune tellers all say that I will live to be a hundred years old!" Chen Zhengwei sneered.

"You want to go back, right? Don't say I didn't give you a chance!"

Chen Zhengwei stood up and said to Rong Jiacai, "Find a boat, throw them into the sea, and let them swim back by themselves!"

"Remember to make it a bit more difficult for them!"

"Just because of these few flops, I stayed up late at night and came here to enjoy the sea breeze..."
