Chapter 239 [Successful](1/2)
"Zhu Cheng is a typical interestist. He saw the result of the fight between Hong Qingyun and me, so he stood on Hong Qingyun's side, but this does not mean that Hong Qingyun is relieved of Zhu Cheng. In a sense, Zhu Cheng's death gave Hong Qingyun a chance."
"Hong Qingyun has won over two of the five elders of the Presbyterian Church and suppressed me. Liu Jinbo, who has a hot personality, is a neutral faction. Now that Zhu Cheng dies, as long as Hong Qingyun lets his people take power, I will completely lose the rights of the Presbyterian Church."
"You must be very surprised why Hong Qingyun looked for you at this time, right? In fact, it is very simple. Zhu Cheng's death is a good thing for him. He asked you to attend Zhu Cheng's funeral, just to take this opportunity to choose a new elder and make you offend me. This is a good thing for him to be a double-evil!"
Sitting in the car heading to Chinatown, Li Yi, in a black suit, leaned on the back of the seat, and Zhang Dekun's words echoed in his ears, but he secretly admired Hong Qingyun's hand for playing beautifully.
If Zhang Dekun had not taken the wrong sword and came to Li Yi alone and was willing to surrender, then Li Yi would definitely be with Zhang Dekun. In this way, if something happened to Zhu Cheng and chose a new elder, Li Yi would naturally stand opposite Zhang Dekun.
However, Hong Qingyun failed to calculate it, so Zhang Dekun would choose to put down his figure and defect to Li Yi.
There is a kind of person in ancient times and modern times: he looks like he is powerless, but he is a hundred times more dangerous than those with fierce faces!
There have been such people in all dynasties who are important officials of the court. Such people will not fight, but often a ghost idea will cause thousands of people to fall into the ground.
Zhang Dekun is undoubtedly such a person.
Zhang Dekun basically never committed suicide in his life, but there are countless people who died at his hands.
If people like Sakura and Jester kill people with their hands, then Zhang Dekun uses his brain.
When he was young and had no capital, Zhang Dekun used his brain to play with the "brothers" around him, letting those so-called brothers carry their heads as urinals to fight for the future, but he himself watched coldly and even put a knife behind his back, and finally picked up the fruit of victory.
After getting old and having capital, Zhang Dekun used his smart head to play with his subordinates, as if he was playing a chess game. He didn't care about losing the loss of the soldier and general. As long as the veteran was safe, the game could continue.
It can be said that before the complete showdown with Li Yi, Zhang Dekun had lost a lot of chess pieces. If he continued to fight, he would lose to Hong Qingyun in the chess game. Otherwise, he would not have had the intention of going to Los Angeles to retire quietly.
Li Yi's appearance disrupted the game where the game was originally decided, and he became the key piece to reverse the game.
But will Li Yi be willing to be a chess piece?
Both Li Yi and Zhang Dekun knew the answer very well.
Zhang Dekun's outstanding ability is undeniable, and even Androv even looked at him with admiration!
However... Such a powerful character did not take power in the Chinese Gang. He fought with Hong Qingyun, the leader of the Chinese Gang for several years and was at a disadvantage.
What people fear the most is the comparison. If Hong Qingyun defeated a character like Zhu Cheng, Li Yi would not care at all, but being able to defeat a fox like Zhang Dekun would naturally be a very powerful character.
Zhang Dekun himself admitted that although Tang Hai was quite capable, he was not qualified to compare with Hong Qingyun.
Everything made Li Yi curious about Hong Qingyun!
While curious, Li Yi also secretly strengthened his guard against Hong Qingyun. In his opinion, although Hong Qingyun has not caused trouble for him, he does not think that Hong Qingyun will live in peace with him.
First of all, the smuggling business in Los Angeles is a big cake, with a profit of over 100 million US dollars a year, which is enough to make Hong Qingyun go wrong. Furthermore, Li Yi is now at the top of his head. Not to mention the strong relationship network in all aspects, he now has a special identity and his own industry. It is impossible to say that Hong Qingyun is not worried about Li Yi seizing power!
...
This flashed through my mind, and Li Yi let out a silence and sneered in his heart: Zhang Dekun, Hong Qingyun, everyone wants to win this chess game, it depends on who can laugh to the end!
In the car, Sakura still acted as a driver, while Jester was playing with the large-caliber pistol. It felt as if he wouldn't get tired of playing for a whole day.
Looking at Li Yi's changing expression, Sakura knew who Li Yi was calculating again.
Although she has not followed Li Yi for a long time, she has some understanding of Li Yi. In her memory, once Li Yi shows this expression, he is plotting against others. Once Li Yi shows a calm expression when he is angry, the person who offends him will undoubtedly die!
Traffic jams are inevitable in any big city, and New York, as the capital of the world, is naturally no exception.
Affected by traffic jams, it originally took only 40 minutes to take an hour.
However, Li Yi calculated this point. When he arrived in Chinatown, he did not miss the time he agreed with Hong Qingyun.
Like Chinatown in Los Angeles, New York Chinatown is a place where Chinese people live.
Buildings with a strong oriental style can be seen everywhere on Chinatown, and the pedestrians on the street are also more oriental in their dresses.
Zhu Cheng's funeral was held in a martial arts hall called "Hongmen".
This Hongmen Martial Arts Hall has been established for a long time. At the beginning, these Hongmen members who were driven out by the domestic Tiger Gang established this martial arts hall to satisfy nostalgia, and to remind themselves to always bear great missions on their shoulders.
However, as time goes by, the older generation of Hongmen members were buried, the new generation of Hongmen members took power, and the significance of the existence of the Chinese Gang has also changed tremendously.
For today's Chinese Gang, no one will think about returning to China to eradicate the Tiger Gang and restore the power of the Hongmen.
Of course, Li Yi is an exception here.
But... in a sense, can Li Yi be considered a member of the Chinese Gang?
...
When Sakura drove to Hongmen Martial Arts Hall, there were all kinds of cars parked at the entrance of the Martial Arts Hall.
Although there are many cars, they are parked very neatly.
Two Chinese gang members in black suits and headphones acted as security guards and directed Sakura to park the car to the most remote corner.
"Boss Li, please!" After Li Yi got off the car, the two Chinese gang members made a gesture of invitation to Li Yi, without any awe on their faces. As Hong Qingyun's direct subordinates, they have seen too many regional bosses and never showed respect. It seems that in their opinion, although those bosses are arrogant on their territory, they have to lie down even if they are tigers and dragons after they come to New York!
Li Yi didn't care about this, but took Sakura and Jester straight to the entrance of the martial arts hall.
At the entrance of the martial arts hall were eight big men in black suits standing. The eight big men fought against each other, with a cold expression on their faces standing there, giving people a solemn feeling.
Sakura and Jester were not affected by this. Even Jester was still playing with the large-caliber pistol as if they were in the car, with a lifeless expression on his face. His indifferent gaze made people feel uncomfortable all over his body.
"Jester, put away the gun." Li Yi thought for a while, turned his head and ordered Jest.
Jace nodded and quickly put away his pistol, so fast that it was impossible to see his specific movements.
This detail fell into the eyes of the eight big men at the door, but something called surprise appeared in the eyes of the eight big men.
While surprised, the eyes of the eight big men also flashed with anger!
There are many big shots from the region today, but no one dares to be as arrogant as Li Yi and his group. Even other gangs did not blatantly reveal the gun.
Jester was fine. Not only did he take out his gun, but he kept wandering around in his hands...
This fell into the eyes of the eight big men and immediately became a provocation, a naked provocation!
"Boss Li, either ask your subordinates to hand over the gun or let them stay outside."
When Li Yi walked to the door, the leader shouted and took a step forward to block Li Yi's way, and said without changing his expression.
The man said this with confidence and his voice was loud. As soon as he spoke, everyone in the martial arts hall heard it. They all turned their eyes to the door of the hall, and to be precise, it fell on Li Yi.
Li Yi now monopolizes Los Angeles smuggling business in Los Angeles, making money every day. It can be said that he is the most prosperous one in the entire Chinese gang except Hong Qingyun.
In this way, both the Chinese Gang headquarters and those regional bosses have been paying attention to Li Yi for a long time.
Before Li Yi could speak, Sakura took the lead and the harsh murderous intent on her body made the man in the lead change slightly.
Li Yi stretched out his hand to signal Sakura to retreat. After Sakura retreated, he leaned behind his back with both hands, bent down, looked at the leading man with a smile, and asked without a smile: "Is this what Uncle Hong meant?"
Perhaps he didn't expect Li Yi to ask this. The man was stunned at first, but then said in a deep voice: "Elder Zhu Cheng's funeral is being held inside. If you ask your subordinates to come in with a gun, this does not respect Elder Zhu Cheng at all!"
When Li Yi heard the words of the man, he smiled happily.
He had already observed with his own light. Those people inside, whether they were inside the Chinese Gang or the subordinates of other gangs, were carrying weapons, and they could not bring weapons when they arrived here. Moreover, this was said by an inconspicuous character!
This made Li Yi a little angry!
Although Li Yi's smile looked bright, the leader's shouting felt a little uncomfortable. He was about to say something, but the smile on Li Yi's face disappeared!
"roll!"
A loud shout came from Li Yi's mouth, which made the big man's ears buzz, and he was stunned for a moment.
Before he could come back from his stunned consciousness, Li Yi suddenly slapped his right hand!
"Bang!"
A crisp sound sounded at the door. As everyone was watching, the man was knocked to the ground by Li Yi. The man's cheeks were immediately swollen like steamed buns, and several teeth mixed with blood fell to the ground. In the sun, it was very dazzling.
The sudden change made the other seven men stunned, and some people inside. It seemed that they did not expect Li Yi to take action here.
After a brief moment of dazed, the remaining seven men set off together in tacit understanding and surrounded Li Yi.
"Get out!"
At this moment, a low voice came from the hall, with a hint of majesty in it. Obviously, the speaker belongs to the kind of person who gives orders for a long time.
When he heard this, the seven great men immediately retreated back to their original position, and the slumped man also got up from the ground immediately, but his eyes were a little resentful when he looked at Li Yi.
Li Yi did not care about the resentful gaze in the big man's eyes, but turned his eyes to the old man walking towards him.
The old man was wearing a black Tang suit, with a white flower on his chest, pale hair, but a rosy complexion, bright eyes, and steady and powerful steps. The old man's body looked extremely thin, but it gave people a feeling of explosive power.
Li Yi, Sakura and Jester all noticed this feeling.
Even after seeing the old man, a hint of surprise appeared in his originally indifferent eyes, and he did not expect that the skinny old man would be so unique.
Behind the old man was a big man in a black suit. Unlike the old man's thin body, the big man was burly and fierce, and he looked like a tough character at first glance.
This old and the young are no one else, but Hong Qingyun and his godson, Shi Tou.
Just a glance, Li Yi saw that Hong Qingyun was a trainer. He didn't know what martial arts he had practiced, but he knew that Hong Qingyun's fighting ability was not weak. However, when he met Sakura, who specialized in practicing murder, he had no chance of winning.
This is also the biggest difference between martial arts and murderous arts.
The former can be used for fitness or to defend against enemies, but the latter can only be used to kill people.
In terms of fighting alone, Sakura may not be Hong Qingyun's opponent, but if he wants to fight a life-and-death battle, Hong Qingyun will definitely die!
"Xiao Yi, your subordinates are ignorant, don't be angry." Hong Qingyun walked to one meter in front of Li Yi and stood with a smile.
To be continued...
