Ye Qian is naturally very clear about this. Although people in the CIA may not dare to openly challenge him because of many reasons, they still have no worries if they secretly send someone to kill him. However,
, even if he knew that the CIA was going to deal with him, Ye Qian's character would not sit still and do nothing. The ghost wolf Bai Tianhuai was fighting alone here for him, how could he really ignore it? This is not
Ye Qian’s character is not Ye Qian’s person.
Ye Qian has always wanted to take back the Hongmen in country M, which is also very convenient for his actions. However, they obviously don't want to pay attention to Ye Qian. They want to compare with the Hongmen in China.
Now it is considered a completely independent organization, and naturally it is unwilling to be governed by others. However, this is a big problem for Ye Qian. Even if they do not return to Hongmen, it is still good to cooperate with him.
No matter what, Ye Qian can't just watch the Chinese gang deal with the ghost wolf Bai Tianhuai, right?
Early the next morning, Ye Qian got up early. Maybe because of the jet lag, Ye Qian didn't get much rest all night, but he was used to it. He didn't need to rest for too long every day to recover.
Mental energy. Xie Fei didn't seem to have this problem. He slept deeply, but Ye Qian asked him to wake up.
After having breakfast at the hotel, Ye Qian and Xie Fei drove out towards Chinatown. NY City's Chinatown is very famous. It is located in the lower city at the southern end of Manhattan. It contains 45 streets and has completely annexed the surrounding Jewish Quarter.
, the Puerto Rican area, and even began to encroach on the Italian area.
The Chinese Gang has a very high status here, not only because they protect the small traders here from being oppressed by the government and other organizations, but also because they are huge and cannot be underestimated.
The taxi stopped on the street of Chinatown. Ye Qian and Xie Fei got out of the car and walked in. Ye Qian had a refreshing feeling, and even had the illusion that he had really arrived in China. He spoke in Chinese, and there were many people on the roadside.
The vendors selling Chinese snacks are a prosperous scene.
Ye Qian and Xie Fei were also walking casually and eating. Hearing Ye Qian's pure Chinese accent, the vendors in Chinatown were also very polite. Chinese people seemed to have a very special character. If it was
In a city in the same province in China, people from other cities in the province tend to stick together; and if it is in other cities, people from each province tend to stick together. Just like in SZ City, the famous
That’s the Hunan Gang and the Sichuan Gang. In other countries, Chinese people from all over the country will stick together. Of course, the Chinese people also seem to have a bad nature, and they are prone to internal strife when they are at ease. At the beginning, many Chinese people in
Most of the very powerful Chinese groups abroad ended up being torn apart because of their nests, and the enemy finally took advantage of them.
The Chinese gangs here still continue some old Chinese customs. The leaders of the gangs often like to hang out in teahouses, order some snacks, brew a pot of good tea, chat about life and politics. Although they are in country M
, but they are always aware of the situation in China. However, because a lot of what they see on TV news is not the real situation, they cannot understand the situation in China at the first time.
The gathering place of the Chinese Gang is located in a teahouse in the center of Chinatown. Although this is not their headquarters, some very important figures from the Chinese Gang come here to drink tea every morning and afternoon. Especially some of the older members of the gang, after all,
Nowadays, many industries of the Chinese have been put on the right track, so they do not need to personally intervene in many things. What's more, the young are better than the old, and many things are left to the younger generation to take charge of.
This teahouse was originally a club, and its business has always been very good. However, due to its good location, the boss of the Chinese gang, Hong Honggen, took a fancy to this place and converted the club into a teahouse. The name Hong Honggen is a bit tacky, but
, few people will mention this name anymore, and they usually call him Mr. Hong. The leader of the Chinese Gang, a big man who once shocked the world, led the Chinese Gang to destroy some small gangs around him, and even the black gangs at the time were
When the Italian Gang and the Italian Gang tried to invade Chinatown, they dealt a severe blow and became famous all over the world.
However, it may be that they are getting older and have lost their original ambitions. The Chinese gang has not made any achievements in these years and has been sitting on their own one-third of an acre of land. More importantly, Mr. Hong seems to be a little tired of this kind of life.
, seems to want to enter the "private room" and be the boss, instead of being such a big gangster anymore.
Ye Qian and Xie Fei arrived at the door of the teahouse and walked straight up without any obstruction. After all, it was a teahouse. Although people from the Chinese Gang liked to come here to drink tea, they were still polite and not arrogant.
When they come in, no one else is allowed in.
The ancient Chinese teahouse-style building is very antique. Although it is not really made of wood, it can be painted with a wood-like color on the outside. It doesn't look much different. Ye Qian and Xie
Fei went straight to the second floor and found a seat near the balcony to sit down.
The waiter came over and asked Ye Qian and Xie Fei in Chinese what they wanted to order. Ye Qian glanced at Xie Fei, who curled his lips and signaled Ye Qian to make the decision. Ye Qian nodded slightly and ordered a pot of Longjing.
He glanced around and saw four old men sitting at a table not far from him. One of them was dressed in a Tang suit, with his back to him. However, his back was straight and he looked very energetic. The others
The three old men looked a little more humble. The four of them chatted about something and made some slight laughter from time to time.
After a while, the waiter brought a pot of Longjing. Ye Qian filled Xie Fei's cup, then refilled the tea cup in front of him, picked up the tea cup and touched Xie Fei, smiled and said: "Cheers!
"
Xie Fei pouted his mouth and drank it in one gulp, but because the tea was too hot, it all spurted out with a "pop" sound. Some of the tea almost entered his nostrils, choking him and causing him to feel uncomfortable and he kept coughing. In the teahouse
All the guests turned their attention to him, and some frowned slightly. Ye Qian quickly went over and patted Xie Fei on the back, and said with a smile: "What are you doing in such a hurry? No one is following you."
You grab it."
The old man in Tang suit also turned his head. Although his face was covered with traces of time, his eyes were bright. He stayed on Ye Qian and Xie Fei for a moment before turning around. Xie Fei straightened up.
He waved his hand to indicate that Ye Qian was fine, and then said: "Hurry up and do the business. After the business is done, we can drink it slowly. Anyway, the tea is still burning your mouth now."
With a helpless smile, Ye Qian turned around and walked over to where the four old people were. Xie Fei also stood up and followed. The three old people clearly saw Ye Qian walking over, and their faces couldn't help but look nervous.
, stood up one after another. The old man in Tang suit turned his head and glanced, smiled slightly and waved his hand, motioning for the three old men to sit down.
"Master Hong, right? Hello, I've admired your name for a long time." Ye Qian smiled and stretched out his hand.
The old man in Tang suit did not stretch out his hand, looked Ye Qian up and down, and said: "I haven't seen you in Chinatown before, have you just arrived?"
He took back his hand with a smile, and Ye Qian sat down on the stool without hesitation, picked up the tea cup, poured a cup of tea and drank it. Then he smiled slightly and said: "I just said it two days ago.
When I went to Country M, I heard that Chinatown in Ny City is very famous, so I came over to take a look and pay a visit to the famous Mr. Hong. It is said in the world that Mr. Hong is very upright, has no airs, and is very easy-going to others. Now that I see him, it seems that
That’s not the case.”
"Boy, what are you talking about?" One of the old men with a big belly yelled angrily.
The old man in Tang suit waved his hand slightly to indicate that he was fine, then turned to Ye Qian, smiled coldly, and said, "How can I not be righteous?"
"Master Hong knows it well, so you don't need me to say it clearly, right?" Ye Qian said with a slight smile.
"Some things are better explained clearly." The old man in Tang suit said, "Since you know my identity, you must have deliberately come to see me today, right? Didn't you come all the way just to accuse me of being unjust?"
"I hate those who rely on their elders the most." Ye Qian said, "It seems that there are many untrue elements in the rumors. The most important thing for Hongmen disciples is to respect their teachers and know how to distinguish between superior and inferior. It seems that
Mr. Hong seems to have forgotten this, which really disappoints me. I wonder if Mr. Hong has been in Country M for too long and has even forgotten the most basic Hongmen rules?"
The old man in Tang suit frowned slightly and said, "I didn't expect you to know about Hongmen. It seems that you are also a member of the Jianghu."
"Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Naturally, I am a person from the rivers and lakes." Ye Qian said.
"Then you dare to ask me how I don't respect my teacher? How come I don't know how to distinguish between superior and inferior?" said the old man in Tang suit.
"Hongmen rules are that all Hongmen disciples must salute the Hongmen master when they see him. Now, Master Hong not only dismisses my polite greetings, but also looks indifferent. I don't know if this is disrespectful.
Does it mean that teachers respect the Tao without distinction of superiority and inferiority?" Ye Qian said calmly.
The old man in Tang suit and the three old men couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Apparently they heard the meaning of Ye Qian's words and looked at Ye Qian in astonishment, somewhat disbelieving. The old man in Tang suit looked Ye Qian up and down again.
He smiled coldly and said, "I wonder what I should call this little brother?"
