Chapter 6 Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness

Hearing the words coming from outside the door, Erin, who was about to jump out of the window to escape, was slightly taken aback.

Uncle Yuan?

Zhongyi Hall?

In Erin's memory, he did indeed know someone he called Uncle Yuan, who was a nephew of a distant relative of Erin's maternal grandfather.

Back then, when the other party smuggled himself from mainland China to New York, it was said that it was Erin's maternal grandfather who helped arrange this and that to barely solve the problem of settling down.

Even initially, the other person stayed at Erin's maternal grandfather's house until they found a job and moved out.

Because of this connection, the two families have a very good relationship.

When Ai Lin was little, Uncle Yuan would visit his maternal grandfather with gifts during holidays.

However, Erin's mother didn't seem to like Uncle Yuan, who was involved in gangs, and didn't like Erin having too much contact with him. After her grandparents died, the relationship between the two families quickly faded.

Even so, every Spring Festival, Uncle Yuan would still bring a bunch of gifts to visit.

After recalling memories of Uncle Yuan.

Erin hesitated for a moment.

After arriving at the door behind the cabinet, I looked through the peephole and saw that in the empty hallway outside, there was only a burly man with a buzz cut, a square face, and a scar at the corner of his eye standing there.

He tentatively asked, "Uncle Yuan?"

"Nonsense, who else could it be but me? You brat, can't you even recognize my voice?" the man outside the door said irritably.

After confirming through "spiritual vision" that only Uncle Yuan was outside the door and that he did not harbor any ill intentions towards him,

Erin then moved the wardrobe that was blocking the door.

Hearing the noise coming from inside the room, a strange look flashed across Uncle Yuan's face as he stood at the door.

After a while, Erin opened the hotel room door and said to Uncle Yuan with a bright smile, "How could that be!"

Uncle Yuan didn't take Ai Lin's words to heart.

Instead, looking at the cabinets next to the door, he nodded with satisfaction: "Hey, not bad, you've improved a bit since before."

After saying that.

Uncle Yuan walked into Ai Lin's rented room without any ceremony, found a seat, and asked Ai Lin, "You brat, how did you manage to mess with those Water Ghost Gang members? Their main influence is around the docks; you shouldn't have been able to provoke them, right?"

Erin said helplessly, "It wasn't me who provoked them, it was them who provoked me."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Yuan raised an eyebrow and said, "Tell me about it!"

"They must have been eyeing the house my grandfather left me and the money my mother left me, so they knocked me unconscious, drugged me, and planned to film me in those kinds of videos to force me to submit. But I escaped. Afterwards, I called the police, and the police stormed into the place where they kidnapped me and rescued another girl they had kidnapped. It seems that they also shot and killed two of them in the process. The three people you mentioned are probably the ones they hired to get revenge on me. To be honest, even if you hadn't told me, I had never heard of the Water Ghost Gang before."

Although Erin did not sense any malice from Uncle Yuan, he only picked out some of the things he could say.

As for the fact that this matter involves the NYPD precinct chief and a potentially important figure, Erin didn't even mention it.

Even Gwen's identity was portrayed by Erin as an innocent victim.

After all, Uncle Yuan wasn't like Pepper Potts, a universally recognized good person. In fact, strictly speaking, the two of them hadn't been in contact for a long time.

For Erin right now, it's best to be cautious.

"Are they eyeing the house Uncle Lin left behind? The Water Ghost Gang seems to be expanding their territory lately. Could it be that they've set their sights on Chinatown?"

After listening to what Erin said, Uncle Yuan seemed to be thinking about something. His brows furrowed, and the furrowing even pulled at the scar at the corner of his eye, making him look even more fierce.

He pondered for a few seconds.

Uncle Yuan stood up and said, "Come with me to see Uncle Qi later. When you do, repeat what you told me to Uncle Qi, but make sure to emphasize that they've got their eyes on your house. Chinatown is our Chinese territory. No matter if it's our Zhongyi Hall or any other branch, we won't let outsiders put their hands in Chinatown."

Ailin's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Uncle Yuan's meaning was clear: he wanted to shift the blame for the three Water Ghosts causing trouble for Erin onto the fact that the Water Ghosts had their eyes on Chinatown.

If someone causes trouble on their own territory and offends other gangs, the Zhongyi Hall and other gangs may not necessarily pay attention to it.

But if someone sets their sights on their territory, the people of Zhongyi Hall will definitely not sit idly by.

As long as Zhongyi Hall takes action, no matter the outcome.

Erin would be much safer than he is now.

Thinking of this, Ai Lin solemnly said to Uncle Yuan, "I understand what to do. Thank you, Uncle Yuan."

Upon seeing this, Uncle Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, but on the surface he waved it off as if he didn't care.

"It's nothing."

"By the way, let's go. Seventh Uncle is getting old; we can't keep him waiting."

"it is good."

New York

Since their immigration, the Chinese community in the Chung Yi Tong community has consistently faced unfair treatment, oppression by capital, racial discrimination, and even bullying from some Black people and gangs. During that period, the lives of the Chinese community were truly miserable.

Against this backdrop, a Chinese gang called "Hongmen" emerged, connecting the poor and the wealthy. It cooperated and competed with the government while dealing with the exploitation of the capitalist class, and even resorted to armed resistance when necessary.

At its peak, nine out of ten people of Chinese descent were members of the Hongmen.

However, with more people, there are more thoughts.

After its peak, the Hongmen declined and split into many large and small Chinese gangs.

Zhongyi Hall is one of them.

Even today, although Chung Yee Tong is not the most powerful among Chinese gangs, it is one of the most senior.

Led by Uncle Yuan, Ai Lin arrived at the hall where the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness was located.

After bypassing the hall, enter a room on the left.

Erin saw three black men tied together with rope.

At this moment, their faces were bruised and swollen, and blood was still dripping from the corners of their mouths. They had obviously been well "treated" by the hospitable friends of Zhongyitang.

On either side of the room stood a row of young men with unfriendly expressions, while at the head of the room sat an old man dressed in a Tang suit, his full head of silver hair meticulously styled.

"Seventh Uncle, the person has been brought."

The old man sitting at the head of the table put down his teacup, nodded to Uncle Yuan, and then looked at Ai Lin and said, "Tell me, little guy, how did you offend the Water Ghost Gang? For them to send three people to break into our Loyalty Hall's territory in the middle of the night with guns, that's no small matter."
