Chapter Eighty-Three Eve

  "Alright, Manhattan's Chinatown is the territory of the Triad, jointly governed by the Hong Kong Triad, Chinese Merchants Association and Korean Merchants Association through a tripartite agreement, with mutual checks and balances."

  "While the leader of Chinatown's Triad, Jack, is one of Feng Shao Rong's men. Jack and his family were Chinese immigrants who moved to America during the Vietnam War era, and from Feng Shao Rong's ancestors on, they supported Jack's family in establishing a foothold for the Triad in Chinatown - or more accurately, the New An Gang. But in the eyes of foreigners, all Chinese gangs are just Triads, just like how we think all foreign gangs are Mafia."

  Zhou Yuan explained.

  He knew that Ai Zi Qing had no time to analyze the foreign underworld forces before, and Jing She's strength in the US was limited, having just established itself. Now, they could only rely on street vendors selling information to get these messages.

  Ai Zi Qing nodded upon hearing this, she also knew what Zhou Yuan had just said.

  The Sun Yee On is one of the largest triad societies in Hong Kong with more than 50 branches.

  Lao Da Feng Shaorong and Huangfu's family are closely related.

  "Whether the Three Unions intervened or not, this muddy water was stirred up by me after all, so this fish... must be caught by me." Ai Zi Qing lowered her eyelids, thinking about the current situation while softly saying.

  Zhou Yuan remained silent, knowing that Ai Zi Qing was thinking of a countermeasure. After all, trying to muddy the waters in this matter wasn't an easy task.

  Halfway through, Ai Zi Qing raised her head and said: "The current situation is that the five parties are divided into four, fighting each other to the point of no return. The Manhattan gang is watching coldly from the sidelines, intending to exhaust their energy. Among them, one party's leader 'Daniel' has gained the support of Chinatown Jack, with a relatively obvious advantage. If Daniel were to join forces with any of the other three parties, it would be equivalent to letting Jack or Feng Shaorong take away this fat meat."

  She continued to mutter to herself: "We were busy dealing with Manhattan's industry affairs recently and missed the best time. Now, if we want to take advantage of this muddy water, we can only make it more turbid by stirring it up..."

  Zhou Yuan's body stiffened, and he looked up in shock.

  ……

  The Café Carlyle, located at the corner of Manhattan's Central Park, was once a high-end entertainment venue. Now it is being taken over by Little Rocco, who previously managed here and later became independent. Little Rocco is a standard Chinese-American mixed-blood, interestingly, his mother is an American woman, while his father is a pure Chinese man.

  So he has an incongruous Chinese name called Luo Ka, and everyone is used to calling him Little Luo Ka.

  Rocco has been careful in his dealings with others since he entered, and although he is not timid, he is also not reckless. His advantage lies in his innate eloquence, which makes him very likable. As a result, he was assigned to manage the Kafiir Song Hall, and this beautiful job made Rocco's status soar instantly, and his connections became extremely extensive.

  But after the downfall, Xiao Luo immediately realized that if he didn't want to end up on the streets, then he had to grasp the resources in his hands, and it was an opportunity!

  Yes, it's an opportunity for those who are mixed in with the daily routine of eating and waiting to die, this is a chance to stand out!

  So, Roca organized those followers who were full of confusion and anger about the future with lightning speed, taking Cafe Kafi as a base, barely supporting the daily expenses of the "gang".

  But after that, he discovered a very serious problem, that is... the establishment of a gang, really not as simple as he imagined, whether it is the daily expenses of food and drink for his subordinates, or the medical expenses needed to deal with the friction and fire fighting with surrounding forces, are not what this small song hall can afford!

  So Roca had no choice but to plan with his brothers to seize the original site and take advantage of this opportunity to expand the gang's scale.

  The intense battles of recent days, as well as the increasing financial pressure, have left Luo Ka feeling extremely uncertain about his future...

  Yesterday, he learned another piece of news that was enough to destroy what little confidence he had left.

  Chinatown's Triad, supporting Daniel!

  If Daniel gets the endless backing of the Triad, won't his recent busywork be all for nothing? It's not impossible that he'll end up dying a miserable death on the streets, because Daniel is someone who knows how to play dirty and has a notorious reputation.

  This news kept him awake all night, thinking about the future development and funding sources. He now fully realizes that expanding the gang requires a fierce battle, and a fierce battle means burning money!

  A night of contemplation allowed him to temporarily come up with a way to counter Daniel and the Triad!

  That is to unite with the other two gangs for now, temporarily resisting the invasion of external forces. As for whether they will merge or continue to fight in the future, that's not something to consider at present.

  The current problem is how can we get the other two parties' leaders to agree? Why should they believe in our proposal?

  Luo Ke and Ao Li Fu are the leaders of two other groups, and for a week now, the four groups have been fighting fiercely, with many casualties. Even Luo Ke himself cannot fully trust the others...

  So, Roca got a headache again!

  ……

  Two days later...

  The light rain in Manhattan has continued into its third night.

  Walking on the road, when the soles of shoes touch the ground, splashing water droplets, hitting the pants legs of passersby, making people frown.

  Occasionally, a small sedan would drive by, splashing water as high as half a person, hitting pedestrians on the side of the road and provoking a string of angry American curses.

  Li Wei got off work at over 11 pm tonight because of overtime.

  He cursed the ruthless exploitation of his boss in his heart, resenting the intangible pressure brought by this fast-paced busy life, while holding up an umbrella and walking under the streetlights.

  He had just walked a short distance when he heard the sound of vehicles coming from behind, so he hurried to make way for them. He didn't want to get splashed with mud and water all over his body after a busy day, only to be scolded by his wife when he got home.

  Alas, the vehicles behind showed no intention of slowing down, speeding at 160 miles per hour on this street with extremely few pedestrians, and when they passed by Rivi's side, they splashed up a wave of water that was almost as tall as a person...

  Rivi only heard a splash of water, and then she was soaked from head to toe!

  He stood stupidly holding an umbrella at the side of the street, but swallowed back that foul language he was just about to blurt out...

  What did he see?

  He saw that after the first car, nearly ten black and heavy cars followed at the same high speed, splashing water on him again and again, soaking him from head to toe!

  Those cars have no license plates, and all the license plate positions are empty...

  Perhaps thinking of something, Levi shuddered all over, using his hand to wring out the wet clothes on his body. Then he turned around and walked towards the small path on the left side. Lately, Manhattan has been very chaotic, and he didn't want to encounter anything that shouldn't be encountered...

  ……

  Ai Zi Qing sat in the car, looking at the American man outside the window who was splashed with rainwater all over his body. She then looked at the night leopard hanging on the driving room with a wicked smile and could only respond with a helpless smile.

  "Boss, I've finally come all the way to America, if we don't stir up some trouble, my heart will be as restless as a cat scratching!"

  The night fox sitting next to Ai Zi Qing heard this and sneered: "Not enough trouble yet? You've already carried the rocket launcher, you've already fired it, what more do you want to cause trouble for? If you continue to cause trouble, I'll have no choice but to let you go blow up the President's house!"

  The black panther scratched his almost bald head, sighed and laughed: "A presidential family is a presidential family. In the past when I was in the army, when we came here on a mission, anything related to our identity was not allowed to be brought along. Even if we died abroad, the country would not acknowledge it. Everything had to be done secretly, low-key, all low-key. This time, I can finally make some noise, how could I not feel happy?"

  The night fox heard this but remained silent, letting out a low sigh.

  Ai Zi Qing didn't respond, she knew that as a soldier, for the sake of national interests, one must sacrifice their life to complete their superior's tasks. And what Ye Bao said wasn't complaining about anything, but rather sighing and lamenting about the previous hidden life that was like a shadow.

  To these soldiers, Ai Zi Qing is admired.

  Thinking of this, Ai Ziying's mind emerged with Han Mu's figure, he was also a respectable soldier?

  I remember him mentioning before that he was also busy running around in various countries, completing some tasks for the country that couldn't be done openly. Thinking back to that time, it must have been fraught with danger too? But he persisted on his own, until now, he has become a qualified and excellent soldier, and more importantly, a man worthy of trust.

  At this thought, a proud smile slowly emerged on Ai Zi Qing's cheeks, a gentle smile that even she herself hadn't noticed.

  But this smile surprised the night fox beside him and the night leopard who was observing from the rearview mirror.

  When will this president, known by outsiders as wise and ruthless, also reveal such a gentle smile like a little woman?

  Although they knew that Ai Zi Qing was amiable and gentle, most of the time she sat quietly with a warm smile, even when facing her enemies. However, beneath her laughter and conversation, she was actually strategizing and planning, and when she took action, it was always swift and decisive, never dragging on.

  So for the president who is wise and bright in their eyes, he actually showed such a little woman's smile, and the two were indeed somewhat dazed.

  Ai Zi Qing had no idea what they were thinking, she always thought that she was just an ordinary person, someone who tried her best to fight for and protect the interests of herself and those around her.

  She appears to others as a master strategist, ruthless and decisive, all of which are the result of past life experiences and self-cultivation since her rebirth. However, she didn't realize that now it has become second nature, and that aura also naturally formed.

  As status increases day by day, family property becomes more and more prosperous.

  And she, this ordinary person, is becoming increasingly extraordinary...

  Perhaps she was never meant to be an ordinary person...
