Chapter 91 Return to the Country

  "Nonsense! Do you know what you're talking about?" Kenny slammed his hand on the table.

  "I said you've grown a pig's brain, Kenny. Admit it, do you want to disband and then use cold weapons to fight with others for territory, only to be eaten up in the end? Haha... You're really a stupid pig." Randolph didn't get angry at all, but instead glanced at him with disdain from the corner of his eye, and sneered.

  "You!"

  "Enough!" Randall thundered, his face stern. "Three of the big shots have already died in the war with Daniel! We didn't come here today to disband, but to elect a new leader! You know that if we disperse, at most we'll become a few second-rate gangs in Manhattan, but if we integrate together, then we are still!"

  Listening to Randall's loud words, Kenny also stopped speaking, but stared at Randolph with a resentful expression, with deep resentment in his heart.

  Ai Zi Qing watched with great interest, but shook her head secretly in disappointment at the quality of the helpers. However, it was better than nothing, and since they had a good reputation in Manhattan, if she could bring them under her wing, then she would finally have a solid foundation in America.

  But discussing it like this, can they really elect a new leader? It seems strange, doesn't it?

  Next, everyone expressed their own opinions, and at this time, the helpers were divided into three factions, with three leaders in each faction.

  Everyone naturally strongly recommended their own candidate for the position of Bang Zhu, but strangely, only Xiao Luocha's subordinate Gali was silent on the side, as if he had nothing to do with the world.

  While Little Rock's Ren and another man named Jimmy looked on silently as Gary stood by, they furrowed their brows slightly.

  Randall said, "I think this is going on like this, it's not a solution to keep arguing, everyone talks about themselves and has no credibility. I think, since Miss Ai is sitting here today, please let Miss Ai say a few words."

  Ai Zi Qing slightly raised an eyebrow.

  Gary glanced at Ai Zi Qing without leaving any trace, and after seeing the latter's almost imperceptible nod, he straightened his posture and smiled, saying: "Actually, I think there is indeed a most suitable candidate for this position of leader."

  Randle frowned slightly, somewhat annoyed that Gary interrupted him. Even if Gary recommended Randle, it was pointless if no one agreed. He knew today's meeting wouldn't yield any results; everyone just came to save face. Afterwards, they would either resort to force or bribe Miss Ai to gain her support in the next election. That's why Randle seemed extremely respectful of Ai Ziying's opinion today, giving her more attention than usual, but he didn't expect Gary to interrupt him.

  "Gary, don't say anything else, let's just listen to Miss Ai's opinion." Landle looked around with a disdainful gaze and frowned.

  "No, Randall, listen to me, the person I'm recommending is not one of us three." Gary said with a smile, pointing to himself, Randolph and Jimmy.

  Randall was taken aback for a moment, and the rest of the people also perked up their ears. Was he going to support both sides?

  The murmurs gradually subsided, and everyone's eyes were fixed on him. Gary stood up, his figure tall, and said loudly: "In the past, we had a high status in Manhattan. I don't need to say it, but you all should understand why that was. It was because our former leaders and big shots were exceptionally capable and led us to glory! But today, why have we fallen to the point where only a few of us small-time bosses are here discussing who will be the new leader? Forgive me, but I really find it laughable. Think about it carefully, do you really think we have the ability to lead without being oppressed or even annexed and return to our former heights?"

  Gary's words were sincere and his expression was genuine, causing everyone present to purse their lips and sit there, unable to interrupt.

  What did you say?

  Who dares to say they have the ability to control a large gang and their decisions can make it glorious?

  But what about today's visit? Of course, it is for wealth and status, for that selfish desire!

  "Gary, what are you talking about? Are you saying that the leader doesn't need to be elected anymore? Hmph!" Bruce furrowed his brow, extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and muttered in a low voice.

  "No, brother, you didn't understand what I meant. What I'm saying is that the leader must be chosen, and it's a must to choose one, but not from among us with limited abilities, but to choose someone who truly has the ability to lead us to the peak!" Gary shook his head, but said firmly word by word.

  "Oh~ Gary, what do you mean? Are we going to hold a national audition like the 'American Girl' show? Hahaha..." Kenney burst out laughing sarcastically.

  As soon as this was said, everyone burst into loud laughter, as if they had heard a very funny joke.

  "No, no, no, Kenny. The audition is unnecessary because the person I'm going to recommend is right here in this room." Gary said with a smile, waving his hand.

  Randall was the first to react, suddenly turning his head towards the Chinese woman sitting quietly in the front seat! Then he stared at Gary with a confident look, frowning heavily.

  Was it premeditated? Had she been eyeing this fat meat for a long time?

  Randall pressed his lips together in thought.

  Not everyone is as clever as Randall, and the crowd was initially stunned. Someone asked: "Gary, are you sure your brain isn't fried? What nonsense are you talking about? Besides us, there's also...?"

  As soon as the words were spoken, before they could be finished, the person was like a chicken with its neck wrung, suddenly silenced, then stiffly turned their head to look at the only 'outsider' in the room, Ai Zi Qing!

  Gary snapped his fingers, nodded his head, and said with praise: "Dear, you are very clever. I, Gary Alva, recommend Miss Ai to be our true leader!"

  "Are you crazy, Gary! Do you know what you're saying?" You're inviting wolves into the house! Of course, Jimmy didn't dare say that out loud.

  "No, Jimmy, I'm not crazy, trust my eyesight, Miss Ai is absolutely more capable than anyone here to lead us to greatness. Oh my god, I really don't dare to imagine how any of us would survive if we became the leader!" Gary replied with his usual calm tone, without showing any shame due to Jimmy's questioning.

  What to live on!

  Got it!

  It's both a threat and a temptation.

  Gary was telling them that without Ah Zi Qing's support, it would be extremely difficult to make a living by relying on the entrance fees and fighting against unknown enemies in the future, after all, even Luo Ka San had been troubled by this issue before.

  Just then, a low and dull voice suddenly sounded: "I agree with Gari's proposal."

  Everyone suddenly turned their heads to look at Randall, who had been silent since Garry opened his mouth, and couldn't understand why Randall, who had just been trying so hard, suddenly changed his mind. Because it seemed that Garry's proposal hadn't been discussed with the people on his side.

  "I agree with Gary's proposal, I think Miss Ai is very capable of leading us and, in Chinese, has plenty of ability to spare." Randall said with a relaxed smile.

  "I agree, I support Gary's proposal." Randolph also chuckled at this time, narrowing his eyes to take a peek at Ai Zi Qing. Because Gary had not discussed it with him beforehand, he was caught off guard now, but he wasn't stupid and knew what was good for himself. Since several people including Gary dared to speak out in support of Ai Zi Qing, he didn't believe that Ai Zi Qing's side hadn't prepared anything, maybe everything was within her plan! So Randolph thought for a moment before also speaking out in support. Jimmy saw that two of their own and that Randall were all strangely supporting the Chinese girl, suddenly widening his eyes as if figuring something out, then let out a long sigh and didn't say another word.

  "Hey! Are you guys crazy? She's Chinese! And not even a local gang, what's the point? What's the point? This is an utterly unreasonable proposal! I object! Object!" Bruce stood up in anger, and then, as if noticing Ai Zi Qing looking at him, he was suddenly startled, realizing he had spoken out of turn. So Bruce pursed his lips and said in a low voice:

  "Have you asked Miss Ai for her opinion? Don't you need to listen to the opinions of those involved? What if Miss Ai doesn't want to get involved in other people's business, won't you be slapping your own face!"

  Bù lǔ jiāng 'bié rén jiā de shì qíng' jiā zhòng le kǒu qì!

  Translation:

  Burke emphasized "other people's business" even more!

  After finishing speaking, he turned his head and stared at Aizi Qing with piercing eyes, waiting for her explanation.

  Randolph and Randall sneered inwardly at the fool who couldn't see the situation clearly, giving him a cold laugh. Although they didn't know how Aizi planned to end this matter, it was already clear that she had been planning this for a long time. And yet, Bruce still asked for her opinion?

  Who would have thought that after hearing Bu Lu's words, Ai Zi Qing only slightly raised an eyebrow and revealed a gentle smile: "I don't have any opinions, everything depends on everyone's choice."

  Boom!

  She didn't refuse!

  She accepted Gary's proposal!

  She has a mind to participate in this competition!

  The whole scene fell silent, and everyone was reassessing the pros and cons!

  Are they angry? Of course, but those who have been struggling in society for many years naturally know the truth that circumstances are stronger than people! So they can't help but think about what the consequences would be if they opposed it today.

  And also, Ai Zi Qing's sentence 'Everything depends on everyone's choice'

  Choose?

  This sentence is really worth savoring!

  Buru was also stunned, staring fixedly at Aizi Qing, his chest heaving violently as if suppressing something...

  Finally, he couldn't hold back anymore and burst out in anger: "Miss Ai, are you trying to play us? Want to become the leader without lifting a finger? Hmph, I'd like to see what makes you think you can!"

  Gary shook his head and walked towards Bruce, sighing as he said: "Brother, don't say that. If Miss Ai really becomes the leader of the gang, I believe it will be beneficial for us, trust me."

  "Gary, don't be so arrogant," Bruce said with a cold smile. "No one is your brother, you're just a Chinese dog!"

  Gary's face changed, and he immediately recovered his smile, walked to Bruce's side, patted his shoulder: "Listen to me, brother, Miss Ai is a capable person, since you want to ask why, okay, then I'll tell you."

  No sooner had the words fallen than Gary suddenly burst out!

  He suddenly grabbed the stool with his right hand and swung it at Bru, who was caught off guard. The corner of the stool struck Bru's temple with great force!

  Bang! With a crash, Gary swung the wooden stool again, smashing it towards Bruce's head, accompanied by Bruce's miserable cry.

  The sound of the impact rang out one after another, everything happened in an instant, leaving everyone stunned and motionless. Because it was a meeting, except for Ai Ziying bringing four bodyguards, all subordinates were left outside to make everyone feel at ease sitting at the same table without worrying about who would suddenly become violent...

  Who would have thought!

  Gary was the first to take action, and his methods were so vicious! He subdued everyone on the spot!

  Until the brains splattered on the ground, and fresh blood flowed out, Gary threw down his hands, seemingly casually throwing the wooden stool to the side of the floor, making a huge crashing sound.

  "He said in a low voice: 'What for? Brother, it's just this.'"

  "Kenny's eyes widened as he stiffened his back, pulling out a handgun and pointing it at Gary: "You killed Bruce! Gary, you broke the agreement!"

  "Hey, brother, don't point that gun at me, he's asking for it. I'll ask one last time, who opposes my proposal?" Gary patted the dust off his hands, completely ignoring Kenny's gun barrel, because he knew that Aizi's people wouldn't let Kenny pull the trigger...

  At this moment, two leaders reached for their waist guns, and as they drew their firearms, a scream also rang out with their movements!

  As they watched the two of them fall to the ground with a thud, everyone finally realized that Ai Zi Qing was determined to win today!

  At the same time Kenny was stunned, a bullet came from an unknown angle and hit Kenny right between the eyebrows!

  The room suddenly echoed with the creaking sound of benches scraping against the floor! All the leaders stood up in shock, fearing that they would be next!

  "I agree with Gary's proposal!"

  "I agree too..."

  This sound has risen one after another, and everyone has expressed their opinions!

  Ai Zi Qing shook her head and smiled lightly, glanced at Gary, nodded slightly, then stood up and left.

  Gary followed closely behind her and said after Aizi Qing walked out of the door: "It's been taken care of outside, don't worry."

  "Do it beautifully." Aizi Qing didn't turn back and walked out directly. Ye Ying and the others also retreated out.

  While Gary's men ambushed outside, the house where the meeting was being held suddenly erupted in a chorus of screams and gunfire!

  Apart from Randall, Randolph, Jimmy and a few other qualified leaders, Ai Zi Qing said: We don't need so many useless but ambitious leaders...

  ……

  The inaugural issue celebration of Da Shi Dai Weekly, Ai Zi Qing did not attend, citing busy schedule as an excuse. He didn't even tell Joanne Michahm that she was currently in the United States. Although Joanne was very disappointed, she expressed understanding.

  He knew that Ai Zi Qing was very busy with her own business, so he just told her the general situation over the phone and then mailed the first issue of the magazine to China for her review, and faxed the relevant materials to Ai Zi Qing in China.

  After Ai Zi Qing thoroughly took over, he handed it over to the Brown brothers for management. He also transferred some elite protection and assistance from the Qingshe Night Group to William and Hans. At this time, Ai Zi Qing had another considerable underground force in the United States, apart from his 30% stake in Sunshine Network Company and Dà Shídài.

  She merged James' underground empire and after integration, she was able to monopolize a corner of Manhattan and proclaim herself queen.

  It's no secret that James' underground industry was acquired by Jing Society, and now it has merged in just over a month. This can't help but make those who are informed about the situation marvel, and also makes people look at things from a new perspective!

  If the previous one was just astonishing, then this time, it's terrifying, because now, the Qiang Society, which has taken control of Manhattan, has become one of the few black tycoons!

  Ai Zi Qing stayed in the US to deal with things for the last two days, and police officer Mike often came to her door, repeatedly saying he wanted to investigate several murder cases and gang firefights, suspecting that Ai Zi Qing was involved. However, each time he was blocked at the door by a lawyer invited by Ren Ying, who had a very arrogant attitude, making Mike so angry his teeth itched!

  The rest of the development matters were handed over to Brown Brothers by Aizi Qing, Zhou Yuan asked to stay in the US for a while to get familiar with things here, and then return home after a while, so Aizi Qing didn't wait for him, but instead took Beibei directly onto the plane bound for Hong Kong...

  "Finally school has started." Aizi Qing said softly, propping her chin up with her left hand and gazing at the clouds outside the window.

  "Mummy, is Hong Kong fun?" Bebe asked curiously as she sat on the plane.

  "Hmm, it's going to be a lot of fun. When the time comes, I'll take Beibei out for a stroll. Hmm, we should probably buy a house too, otherwise it won't be very convenient to live." Aiziqing pouted, looks like there's more work to do.

  "Smack!" BeiBei happily wrapped her arms around Aizi Qing's neck, leaving a big lip print on her pale cheek.

  Ai Zi Qing sighed in dismay, fortunately she didn't have a habit of applying powder, otherwise...

  Hong Kong Airport.

  Ai Zi Qing still wore a simple white casual shirt, casual pants, plus a pair of spotless sneakers, a slanted single-shoulder backpack, an outfit that was slightly rustic in Hong Kong, but on Ai Zi Qing's increasingly beautiful face, it looked exceptionally clean and refreshing.

  Standing at the airport gate, where cars and horses are galloping, with Beibei's face getting rosier but still slender in her left hand, and a suitcase in her right hand, which contains all her belongings...

  As soon as they left the airport gate, David was standing beside a white van at the entrance and saw Aizi Qing running over.

  "Zi Qing, how was your holiday? You two get in the car and rest first, I've already booked a restaurant to welcome you back." David said as he took the suitcase from Ai ZiQing's hand and led them towards the van.

  "Ai Zi Qing politely thanked him and said: "David, help me take a look at the apartments for sale near the party venue, and let me know if there are any suitable ones."
