The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 84 You Should Thank Me for My Tolerance

The next day Chen Zhengwei got the witness's address.

There were two witnesses, one named Robert and the other named Sean, who have the same name as Michael's eldest son.

One of the two men was a dock worker and the other was a handyman. Every night after dinner, they would go to the bar to hang out for a while.

On the night the incident happened, both of them were in the bar and had actually met Chen Zhengwei.

However, it was late at night and there were only kerosene street lights outside the bar, and Chen Zhengwei was facing away from the light, so they couldn't see his face at all.

Even if they see clearly, they can't remember what the Chinese look like.

In the evening, Robert was waiting for dinner at home. He didn't feel any pressure at all about appearing in court tomorrow.

Although he did not remember the murderer's appearance, they just wanted those Chinese to pay the price, so the murderer changed from one to three - because the investigation bureau arrested three people.

He also enjoyed the enthusiastic conversations with others in the bar these days, and he enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.

His wife put most of the stew on his plate and placed the rest in front of the three children.

There was only a tiny piece of meat in front of each child, the size of a baby's fist.

The three children looked at the stew in front of them, then looked eagerly at their father's plate and swallowed secretly.

However, none of them spoke up because they had to first ensure the physical strength of the main labor force in the family.

If the main labor force is too weak to work and their income is reduced, the country will fall into a vicious cycle.

"God, Father in heaven, we thank you for giving us these foods, and we ask you to bless us and these gifts of yours..."

The family sat at the table and whispered prayers.

Then someone knocked on the door. Robert's wife went to open the door, only to see a few Chinese men in black suits standing outside.

Before she could say anything, those people walked in directly.

"Chinese? What are you doing here?" Robert stood up suddenly, angry at first, then became uneasy.

Because these people look tough.

Recently, a group of ruthless criminals emerged among the Chinese and had several conflicts with the Irish. Many Irish people were beaten and injured, and the injuries were serious.

Two nights ago, several drunkards had their faces smashed, and the worst thing was that two people had their testicles broken.

He also privately suspected that these people were the murderers.

The person who came in at this time reminded him of the group of criminals he had heard of.

The people who came in ignored him, glanced around and then stepped aside. Then Chen Zhengwei walked in with a few others.

"Sit down and talk! I didn't ask you to stand!"

Chen Zhengwei smiled and gestured for Robert to sit down, then sat directly next to Robert, reached out and grabbed his plate to look at it, then took a child's spoon and tasted the stew.

After chewing it twice, he turned around and spit it out, then pushed the plate back to Robert and cursed, "Damn it, even dogs won't eat it!"

He was just a little curious about what Irish stew tasted like, and it turned out not to be very good.

Robert was pinned on a stool by two thugs, while his wife huddled aside holding the children, looking at this side with some horror.

Chen Zhengwei crossed his legs and looked at the other party and said, "I heard that you will testify in court tomorrow? Is that true?"

"Are you here to threaten me?" Robert finally understood why these people came.

"Threat..." Chen Zhengwei sneered. "It sounds like I'm a bad guy!"

Then he asked with a smile: "Are you sure they are the murderers?"

Robert, who was questioned, suddenly became angry and shouted to cover up his guilty conscience: "Yes, I saw it!" Chen Zhengwei turned his eyes with a smile, looked at Robert's wife and children, and praised: "Your children are very cute!"

The two thugs pulled out guns and pointed them at the heads of Robert's wife and a child. Robert's wife trembled all over and hugged her child tightly.

Chen Zhengwei gave his two men an admiring look, and his men became more and more sensible.

"How could you have the heart to attack a child? Are you still human? Put your guns away. We are here to reason today. Do not take action until reason fails!" Chen Zhengwei stopped the two men in English and gestured to them to put down their guns.

Although the two could not understand English, they could understand Chen Zhengwei's gestures.

Then he turned to look at Robert and smiled, "Don't worry, although they are a little rude, they are all good people!"

"But I don't like people lying to me! Think about it before you answer."

Robert wanted to get up suddenly, but was pressed firmly on the chair. He took a few quick breaths and changed his words:
"No, I didn't see it..."

"Since you didn't see it, why did you lie? Did someone ask you to do this? Or was there any other reason?" Chen Zhengwei continued to ask without changing his expression.

Robert's face looked embarrassed. He couldn't say that he did it to make the Chinese pay the price or that he enjoyed being the center of everyone's attention.

"You are worried about your children? But have you ever thought that your perjury has hurt other people and other families?"

Faced with Chen Zhengwei's slow and leisurely words, Robert felt tremendous pressure.

Of course, the greatest pressure came from the young men around him wearing black gentlemen's suits and the muzzles of guns.

"I'm so sorry, sir!" Robert apologized with difficulty.

"Lying should be punished, but I'm a very generous person, so I'm here. After all, young people always make mistakes," Chen Zhengwei said with a smile to Robert, who was twice his age.

"Do you know what to do?"

"I won't testify against them in court..." Robert said with difficulty. He knew what would happen if he didn't go to court.

Although the Bureau of Investigation and the court would not trouble him, others in the tavern would regard him as a traitor and a coward.

"It seems that you are not hopelessly stupid yet." Chen Zhengwei snapped his fingers: "Now you should thank me for my tolerance!"

"Thank you for your tolerance, sir!" Sweat kept flowing down Robert's head.

“Remember, although young people are entitled to make mistakes, I will only be tolerant once!” Chen Zhengwei patted Robert on the shoulder.

"Next time, it'll be... bang!" Chen Zhengwei put his finger on Robert's temple and made a shooting gesture.

Then he laughed, stood up and left.

The others put away their guns, looked at a few people, and followed Chen Zhengwei out.

Robert felt as if all the strength in his body had disappeared, and he slumped in his chair, feeling both fear and anger in his heart.

Only then did his wife dare to cry out loud.

……

It took some time to deal with the two witnesses. Chen Zhengwei walked back with his men, cigarette in his mouth, and said to his men:

"These people are all born in the Year of the Dog! Give them two sticks, let them know they will be beaten, then they will know to be afraid!"

All the way back to Chinatown, when passing by Lord Street, Chen Zhengwei saw that most of the shops on Lord Street were closed. He stopped for a while and said:
"It's such a big hall, with a lot of people waiting for food. How can they survive if the door is not even open every day?"

"Do you think they are up to something?"

"Brother Wei, what else can they do?" The henchmen beside him immediately responded.

"A cornered dog will do something desperate!" Chen Zhengwei said sarcastically.
