Chapter 158 [Each person has his own ulterior motives]

Then, on the way to Chinatown, Chekov patiently explained to Li Yi about the situation about the underground world in Los Angeles.

From Chekov's words, Li Yi learned that in Los Angeles, in addition to the Mafia Committee, the four major gangs are the Yamaguchi Group, the Chinese Gang, the African Gang, and the Latin Gang. While some other small gangs do some women's businesses and collect protection fees, they are not qualified to interfere in the smuggling business.

In Chekov's words, the Mafia Committee will not interfere in the smuggling business within three years. First of all, these four gangs are not weak. If they really turn against the Mafia Committee, it will be enough to make the Mafia Committee a headache. Furthermore, the Mafia Committee is composed of the five major mafia families in the United States. If they want to truly deal with these four major gangs, specific plans and sharing the interests after the four gangs are eliminated are also a headache. After all, the five major mafia families are not united.

In Li Yi's memory, the US Mafia Committee will undergo a huge coup this year. However, because he leaked this secret in advance, Androv paid attention to the family's inner demons in advance and strengthened prevention, this may postpone the coup.

Because...the Gambino family is now the strongest in the American Mafia Committee and has a greater say.

...

When the car was about to arrive in Chinatown, Chekov patted Li Yi on the shoulder and said, "Li, my dear friend, I can only help you at the moment. Whether you can successfully take revenge depends on your own efforts. However, if you need information in the future, you can find me, and the price can be discounted."

After saying that, Chekov smiled treacherously.

Although Chekov seems to be a typical profiteer, Chekov is the first time he says the word "old friend", which makes Li Yi feel more favorable to this American who is pitiful and weak on the surface but actually has a lot of energy.

"Please help me pay attention to a German named Jester. He may not have arrived in Los Angeles yet. If he arrives in Los Angeles, please inform me immediately." Li Yi said seriously: "You can rest assured about the price."

"Jester? What a strange name." Chekov looked at Li Yi with some weirdness, but did not ask Li Yi why he wanted to pay attention to this person. Instead, he smiled and said, "I will feel relieved to cooperate with you, because you are very happy to give money!"

Li Yi smiled and said nothing.

He asked Chekov to pay attention to Jester, whose purpose was very simple, and he wanted to form a killer organization.

Because judging from the current situation, the Night Organization has not been established.

In his memory, when Jester first entered Los Angeles, he did not immediately form a killer organization, but only came up with this idea after a period of down-and-out life.

In this regard, in Li Yi's view, if he can help Jester when he is in a downturn, and then let Jester form a killer organization, from the trajectory of historical development, the killer organization he wants to form will be the dark night in the future, and this killer organization will also become the real ace in his hands!

Before that, he needed to gain a foothold in Los Angeles in the shortest time and lay a solid foundation for future plans.

In his previous life, Li Yi had come to Chinatown in Los Angeles for dinner many times. At that time, Chinatown had lost the flavor of Chinatown. The architectural style of Chinatown was no different from other places in Los Angeles.

When he came to Chinatown again in this life, Li Yi was surprised to find that most of the buildings in Chinatown had a distinct oriental style. In fact, Li Yi saw red lanterns in front of a Chinese restaurant, which made him feel very intimate.

As a gathering place for Chinese people in Los Angeles, Chinatown is very lively at night. Among the pedestrians on the street, the proportion of Chinese is significantly higher than that of whites and blacks.

Perhaps because of missing the motherland, there are many domestic cars on the streets of Chinatown. Even Tang Hu himself did not buy European and American cars, but bought the extended red flag.

This reminds Li Yi that people in China seem to like to buy foreign cars.

There seems to be a sharp contrast between the two.

In addition to various Chinese restaurants and teahouses, there are also martial arts halls in the entire Chinatown.

Tang Hu's car stopped in front of a hotel called Zuichunlou.

The architectural style of Zuichunlou Hotel has a strong Chinese flavor, which is quite similar to Wangfujing in Beijing. The welcome lady at the door is wearing an authentic cheongsam, and four red lanterns are hung above the gate.

After the car stopped, Tang Hu walked out of the car with a smile, but did not go in first, but stood at the door waiting for Li Yi.

About half a minute later, Chekov drove his shabby Ford to the entrance of Zuichun Tower and got out of the car with Li Yi.

"Tang, I'm in good condition today. How many women are you going to prepare for me?" Chekov asked Tang Hu with a smile after getting off the car.

"Chekov, there is a service called Eight Dragons Playing with Pearls. I think it will satisfy you." Tang Hu said with a smile.

Chekov was slightly stunned, looked at Li Yi and asked, "What does the eight dragons play with the pearls mean?"

"Okay, Chekov, you don't need to ask Brother Li, you will experience it yourself later." Tang Hu said first before Li Yi spoke, and then said to Li Yi: "Brother Li, let the brothers go in and prepare tonight's meal first, and I'll take you to see my father."

Tang Hu's father is naturally the leader of the Chinese gang in Los Angeles, Tang Hai.

"Li, I don't know that idiot Tang Hu. Tang Hu's father Tang Hai is a very sinister person. You must be careful when dealing with him in the future."

Hearing Tang Hu's words, Li Yi subconsciously remembered Chekov's previous advice to him.

Seeing that Li Yi was not speaking, Tang Hu said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Li, I'm very sorry. I originally planned to take you and your brothers to have a meal first and then meet my father. However, when I called my father in the car just now, my father asked me to take you to see him first."

"Yes." Li Yi was not dissatisfied at all.

Chekov smiled and said, "Tang, if your father doesn't like Li, please notify me as soon as possible."

"Chekov, don't dream." Chekov's words did not make Tang Hu angry, but instead joked with Chekov with a relaxed look on his face, then pulled Li Yi on his extended red flag.

Tang Hu lives in the west of Chinatown. It is a villa with a strong Chinese flavor. The exterior of the villa does not look luxurious, and the area is much smaller than that of the Xiaojia Manor.

From this detail, Li Yi could see that Tang Hu's father Tang Hai should be a very nostalgic person.

Perhaps because he thought of going to have to have a meal and drink with Li Yi in a while, Tang Hu did not drive into the villa courtyard, but parked at the door.

"Let's go, brother, my dad is waiting for us in the study." After getting off the car, Tang Hu patted Li Yi's shoulder kindly and said, "Don't be too restrictive, just treat this place as your own home. My dad heard that you are good at fighting, but he really wants to see you."

Li Yi nodded on the surface, but laughed in his heart. With his strength, any gangster brother would welcome him.

At the same time, no gangster brother will feel at ease with him, and Xiao Qingshan is the lesson of the past.

Like the exterior of the villa, the interior decoration of the villa is not luxurious and looks a bit simple, but the furniture is all furniture from the 1940s and 1950s and looks very old.

"My father is a nostalgic person. He kept these furniture and didn't change anything." Tang Hu couldn't help but say that when he saw Li Yi paying attention to the furniture.

Li Yi asked with a smile: "Then does your dad really want to go back to China?"

"That's not, haha." Tang Hu shook his head with a smile.

Tang Hu's answer was in Li Yi's guess. After all, Los Angeles is Tang Hai's territory. Even if Tang Hai is nostalgic, he would not give up such a large industry here and become a turtle in China.

When Tang Hu brought Li Yi to the study room, an old man about fifty years old sat in the study room. The old man looked a bit similar to Tang Hu. His hair was slightly white and there were a few wrinkles on his forehead, but his face was very rosy and his eyes were very sharp. Just sitting there simply gave people a sense of powerlessness without anger.

Whether in his past or present life, Li Yi has seen too many big shots. In response to this, when facing Tang Hai's scrutiny, he did not show any tension, but instead faced Tang Hai's gaze calmly. While Tang Hai was looking at him, he was also looking at Tang Hai.

"It's Li Yi, sit down." Two seconds later, Tang Hai moved his eyes away, his muscles twitched slightly, and then said to Tang Hu: "Hu Zi, go and make two cups of tea."

"Yes, dad." Tang Hu retreated respectfully.

But Li Yi sat on the sofa in the study and remained silent.

"I have heard Hu Zi say about you. Originally, I welcomed us with both hands when people like you joined our Chinese Gang." Tang Hai paused at this point, and his eyes became much sharper: "However, I want to know that it is easy to make a living in the United States with your ability. Why choose to join our Chinese Gang?"

Seeing Tang Hai's sharp gaze, Li Yi understood that if he couldn't answer this question well, I'm afraid Tang Hai wouldn't let him join the Chinese Gang.

No matter what gangster brothers, they like talents, but they also don’t like raising tigers for trouble.

"Because I want to take revenge." Li Yi met Tang Hai's gaze without changing his face and replied gloomyly.

Hearing Li Yi's answer, Tang Hai did not speak immediately, but stared at Li Yi quietly. Finally, Tang Hai smiled, and that smile was very bright.

"Young man, welcome to join the Chinese gang." Tang Hai stood up, smiled and stretched out his right hand.

Li Yi stood up calmly, walked to the opposite side of Tang Hai, held Tang Hai's hand, but said nothing.

Tang Hai stared at Li Yi with a smile and said, "Young man, I like your honesty. I believe that with your ability, it is only a matter of time to rise. I am looking forward to one day when you can fight back to China on behalf of the Chinese to regain our own things."

Obviously, Tang Hai already knew Li Yi’s true identity.

Li Yi was not surprised by this. After all, he is not disguised as he is now, but has his original appearance.

"Thank you for Uncle Tang's acceptance." Li Yi replied with a smile, but he thought to himself, if he hadn't told the real reason just now, Tang Hai would have spoken to him with another expression, right?

"You don't have to thank me. I have always like young people with strength. There is money in this world, and making money by one person is also profitable, and making money together is also profitable." Tang Hu smiled and took back his hand, and smiled: "What I can do is provide you with a platform. As for how far you can develop, it is your own business."

What you like is to use powerful young people as guns, right?
