The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 85 Mr. Chen, I want to work with you
"Since the witnesses did not appear in court and no other reliable evidence was provided to support the prosecution's allegations..."

"Based on the available evidence and circumstances, this court declares that the prosecution's charge of intentional homicide against the defendant is not established. The defendant should be found not guilty and released immediately..."

As the voices in the courtroom were heard, many Irish people sitting in the courtroom showed expressions of incredible shock and disappointment.

The Chinese workers in the dock had expressions of ecstasy on their faces.

The two men who went to ask Chen Zhengwei for help yesterday also looked excited and kept waving their arms.

As the news spread outside the court, the Irish people who were waiting outside began to curse and even picked up stones from the roadside and threw them at the court.

"FUCK, did the judge take money from those bastards?"

"Kill someone and you must pay for it. Make those bastards pay the price!"

Michael watched this scene and called over one of his men, saying, "Let those Chinese leave through the back door!"

He didn't want any more conflicts to happen when the Chinese came out. If something happened again, who knows what Chen would do.

He is different from those weak Chinese.

Several Chinese people left through the back door and then returned to Chinatown.

"Thanks to Director Chen, we must thank him very much! I still have some money here, I will collect it later and buy some things for Director Chen!" The man who was called Third Uncle yesterday reminded as he walked.

"Director Chen?" The three Chinese workers who had just been released were a little confused.

"The guild has arranged lawyers for you...those lawyers are useless! My uncle took me to ask Director Chen for help, and then Director Chen said he would help you. The two witnesses did not show up today, it must have been Director Chen who did it." Another young man explained.

"We have to go to the guild hall too, after all, they hired a lawyer for us. But it was mainly Director Chen who made the effort. If the witness hadn't shown up, even if we had a lawyer it would have been useless. Those foreigners just wanted to find a scapegoat and don't care whether you are the criminals or not." Uncle San also said.

The three of them suddenly realized.

Then he became curious: "Who is Director Chen? There doesn't seem to be a director named Chen in the guild hall!"

They were arrested quite early and detained for more than half a month, so they had never heard of Chen Zhengwei.

"Director Chen is a powerful figure..." the young man said excitedly. Before, he had doubted whether Chen Zhengwei would help them and whether he could help them.

Now that the results are out, he feels that Director Chen is much more capable than the president or anyone like that, and he can really help the Chinese and help them solve their problems.

In addition, after Chen Zhengwei arrived in San Francisco, he rose to prominence in a short period of time, like a legendary story.

This made him admire Chen Zhengwei very much.

The group went back to change clothes and went to the guild hall first.

Knowing that these people were acquitted, people in the guild hall were very excited, thinking that it was because of the great efforts made by the lawyers.

After some investigation, we found out that the two witnesses never showed up, so they were acquitted.

This surprised many people and they asked about it secretly.

Later I learned that these people went to ask for help from Director Chen, Chen Zhengwei.

Many people secretly took note of this incident.

……

"Brother Wei, we have collected all the money!" Chen Zhenghu, along with two of his men, put a bag of money on the table.

"How much in total?" Chen Zhengwei looked up and asked.

"According to Brother Wei, there are 19 brothels, 13 foreign stalls, each of which earns 5 dollars a week, and 52 opium dens, each of which earns 20 dollars a week!"

Originally, Michael only charged five dollars whether it was a brothel or an opium den.

But when it comes to Chen Zhengwei, the brothels charge the same price, but the opium den charges twenty yuan, which makes a total of twelve hundred yuan a week.

Adding the money from the casino, it would be over 1,900 dollars a week.

After deducting the money for Michael, there would still be thirteen thousand left.

Originally, Michael could only earn four hundred dollars a week in Chinatown.

"They handed over the money so honestly?" Chen Zhengwei leaned back in his chair.

"They don't want to pay, but they dare not not pay! After all, the examples of Yihaitang, Danshantang and Xieyitang are right there!" Chen Zhenghu said with a smile.

Of course those big opium dens didn't want to pay. When they heard that they had to pay twenty dollars a week, they all complained bitterly.

However, Chen Zhengwei's attitude was very clear: if you think it's too expensive, then don't do it. The casinos in those gangs have already paid, and there are still several textbooks there, how dare they not pay?
In the end, I had no choice but to pay the money.

"Now there is still a chance to ask them to pay. They all have to burn two more incense sticks and pray!" Chen Zhengwei said sarcastically.

If those opium dens were on his territory, and they still wanted to pay, Mr. Chen would be a bodhisattva if he didn't skin them alive. "The other houses were also checked. They belonged to a wealthy businessman named Su, but he was tricked by Yi Hai, and all the houses he owned fell into Yi Hai's hands. The one on Market Street is now rented out to someone who opened a wood shop, and the other two are also rented out."

"They paid Yi Hai half a year's rent before. Brother Wei, what do you think we should do?"

"Let them stay here first! After all, they've already paid the money, we can't chase them away!" Chen Zhengwei thought about it for a moment and then sneered, "I feel like I've changed my career to become a Bodhisattva recently!"

"Brother Wei, you are kind-hearted! That's why everyone follows you!"

"You're really good at flattering people!" Chen Zhengwei laughed.

He has a kind heart at all. These people follow him because he is ruthless and he pays them a lot, so they can make a living by following him.

Otherwise, who the hell would follow you to chop people?
"Brother Wei, the two people from last time are here again, and they brought a few people with them, saying they want to thank you!"

"Let them in!"

Several people were brought in, and the three who had just come out raised their eyes and looked at Chen Zhengwei carefully. When they came here just now, they heard about Chen Zhengwei all the way.

He is indeed very young, looking only about twenty years old, with a fierce look in his eyes, and making people feel pressured just by sitting there.

Chen Zhengwei saw at a glance that several people were holding two chickens in their hands.

He started to speak angrily: "Really? Others repay a drop of kindness with a spring of water, but you are only giving me two chickens for saving my life?"

A hint of embarrassment appeared on the faces of several people in their gratitude: "Mr. Chen, you are so kind, I really don't know how to repay you. We will definitely remember Mr. Chen's kindness... these two chickens..."

"Even if I ask you to repay me now, you won't be able to do so! Just remember my kindness. As for these two chickens, take them back. Look how skinny you all are..."

Chen Zhengwei curled the corner of his mouth and waved his hand.

In fact, as long as this matter gets out, his gains will be enough.

As for the rewards from these people, he really didn't care.

But even though I look down on you, I still have to say it. How can I not repay the favor of saving my life?

If you don’t report it, how can others report it?
The few people knew that Chen Zhengwei didn't like this thing, so they could only thank him repeatedly: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Chen..."

After expressing their gratitude repeatedly, they said goodbye and left.

The young man hesitated before leaving, then mustered up the courage to say, "Mr. Chen, I want to work with you..."

The other few people were startled and looked a little anxious. Although they were really grateful to Chen Zhengwei, everyone knew what Chen Zhengwei did.

They really didn't want this young man to work with Chen Zhengwei.

But they didn't dare to speak up to stop it.

"Do things...are you so brave? Do you dare to chop people? Do you think it's so easy to say do things? Go back and think about it before you say this!" Chen Zhengwei glanced at him and said nonchalantly.

"Mr. Chen, I've made up my mind. I won't be bullied if I follow you. I really want to follow you. I'll do anything you ask me to do!" the young man said bravely.

"Go back and think about it. When you've figured it out, go find Ah Hu!" Chen Zhengwei waved his hand and sent them away.

Now he has more than 110 people under his command. In addition to those from the Chen, Yan and Rong families, he has also recruited 20 to 30 people from Xinning these days, which makes him have more manpower.

After the young man went back, he thought about it and felt that it would be difficult for him to make a breakthrough if he went alone without anyone to help him.

I went to find some fellow villagers and friends and told them what had happened in the past two days.

"The president said every day that he would talk to the foreigners, and every day he said that he would find a solution and asked us to wait for news. But what was the result? After so much talk, it was all in vain!

Mr. Chen is right. If you don’t work hard, you will be bullied.

Those gangs only bully their own people, but Mr. Chen can help us, so I will recognize him for this matter. I want to work with Mr. Chen, at least it will be better than being bullied now. Do you want to go?" The young man encouraged the others.

Two days later, Chen Zhenghu came to the casino and saw a dozen young men standing outside the casino.

"Brother Tiger!"

"Mr. Chen asked us to come find you!"
