Chapter: 5895
"Ye Chen couldn't help but smile and say: 'This kind of operation is indeed able to achieve maximum resource utilization while also maintaining balance across each stage. It's much more stable than having all these businesses operated by a single gang.'"
"What makes Zano family so formidable is that they rarely engage in any illegal or criminal activities themselves, nor do they have any direct involvement with such activities. This is completely different from the Italian mafia:"
"In the past, Italian mafia members would even jump out and tell everyone loudly after killing someone: 'This person is mine.' However, Zano family's modus operandi is to order someone else to kill someone, then have them dump the body at their own doorstep and report it to the police as if they found a dead body at their own doorstep. They even hand over all surveillance footage to the police, making it seem like they are more eager than the police to crack the case."
"Ye Chen asked curiously: 'Uncle Zhaoyong, is what you're saying true or just a metaphor?'"
"It's true," Chen Zhaoyong said. "Last year, another Italian mafia family's leader was shot and killed by four gunmen from two directions using submachine guns while waiting at a red light. One of the gunmen then carried the body to the doorstep of Zano family's estate, where they promptly reported it to the police and even offered a $1 million reward to help catch the killer."
"But in reality, that family was actually Zano family's largest competitor, both vying for control over cocaine shipments from Colombia and drug distribution rights on the East Coast, including New York. Whoever succeeds in getting the distribution rights can earn at least hundreds of millions of dollars in profits within a year, so everyone knew that the killer must be from Zano family. But no one expected that Zano family's people would still dump the body at their own doorstep after killing someone and put on a show."
"Ye Chen said, 'Let's go out for a bit.' Strong-Ge looked at those five members of the Hellfire Angels and hurriedly asked, 'Mr. Ye, what about them? Should I take care of them first? One bullet per person, I won't waste a single shot!'"
"The five people were shocked stiff with fear, having never thought that the little chef who was so meek they didn't dare fart, would now be determined to kill all five of them at once!"
"Ye Chen saw Strong-Ge's expression was unwavering, and smiled slightly. 'It's too early to kill them right now, let Clock Uncle and Nie Dawei keep an eye on them, wait until we're done with the main business, then we'll take care of them later.'"
"Chen Zhaoyong hurriedly asked, 'Young master, do you have any plans? Is there something that needs to be taken care of?'"
Please let me know if this is correct and I will proceed further.
"Ye Chen smiled and said, 'There's no need to Clock Uncle, just wait for me and Strong-Ge to leave, then close the shop and stay here waiting for us to return. If someone causing trouble comes by during this time, you can use these five people as hostages and immediately call Ke Xin.'"
"In New York, there are no worries without Ke Xin."
"Don't even mention some gangster gangs, let alone Zanuo Family - they're nothing in front of Ke Xin."
"But Ye Chen didn't want to have Ke Xin intervene."
"As soon as she intervenes, the whole situation wouldn't be that interesting anymore."
"However, Ye Chen also knew that he was out of his depth and that if he brought Strong-Ge to see Zanuo Family, they would need to be prepared for other people from Blaze Inn to take notice."
"Chen Zhaozhong naturally understood Ye Chen's intentions and nodded slightly."
"Ye Chen asked Nie Dawei again: 'You've been around in New York for many years. Do you know the specific situation of Zanuo Family? For example, where they live, how many people there are, who runs things?'"
"Nie Dawei quickly replied: 'Zanuo Family is located near Long Island, with a Zanuo Manor. The Black Hand Society can thrive here, and the family has many direct descendants. I estimate that there must be at least 30-50 people in total. Currently, the head of Zanuo Family is Antonio Zanuo.'"
"Good." Ye Chen nodded slightly, then turned to Chen Zhaozhong and said: 'Clock Uncle, I'll take Strong-Ge to visit this Zanuo Manor. If everything goes smoothly, we should be back within two hours.'"
"Ye Chen hurriedly said: 'Be careful, young master!'"
The Zanuo Family from Sicily has been stirring up storms in New York for decades.
This family has been a black hand society generation after generation, and their ancestral object is a Thompson submachine gun produced during World War II.
It's said that the old man who led the Zanuo Family back then sold off their assets on Sicily to come to New York, and it was with this Thompson submachine gun that they gradually established themselves in the American underworld. JrNovels.com
