Chapter: 5933
Ye Chen waved his hand, saying, "Their money is mostly gained by exploiting ordinary people. If I take it away from them and put it in my hands, then I'm no different from them."
As he said that, Ye Chen laughed, saying, "Zhong Shu treats you like a son. Since we have a connection, you've chosen this path. So, keep the money safely, use it to develop Hua gang, and pave the way for yourself ahead. When your age catches up, you can become a well-known entrepreneur or even run for public office. If you don't have ambition, just accumulate more money in your hands, and you'll be worry-free for life."
"Jiangzi said resolutely, 'Mr. Ye, don't worry, since I've chosen this path, I'll definitely put in my best effort and walk it through!'"
Ye Chen nodded slightly, saying, "However, Jiangzi, remember that although Zano family's gangs won't dare to mess with you, it doesn't mean you don't have other opponents in Göktürk and North Federal Republic. As for me, I'll only help you once. If someday a stronger opponent emerges from Göktürk and wants to take your life, you can only rely on yourself to defeat them. Do you understand?'"
Jiangzi spoke solemnly, "Mr. Ye, don't worry, I understand!"
Ye Chen looked at the previous head of Hua gang, Ni Dawai, and opened his mouth, saying, "Ni Mr."
Ni Dawai's body trembled, speaking respectfully, "Mr. Ye, what instructions do you have?"
Ye Chen said, "You are a citizen of Flame Country, a member of Hua gang, and hang out in the streets of Flame City. Here, you represent all the people of Flame Country who live by their wits, so don't be too reckless again. The fact has already proved that being reckless is not guaranteed to keep you safe. The more reckless you are, the more people will want to ride your back and spit on you."
Ni Dawai was embarrassed and looked down, saying, "Mr. Ye said what... from now on, I'll definitely work together with Jiangzi and won't give Flame Country's people a bad reputation again!"
Ye Chen nodded slightly, speaking very seriously, "I've heard stories about Hua gang developing abroad when I was young. Back then, Hua gang members were brave enough to fight for their rights in Kanar, North Federal Republic, and even South Federal Republic, and they established a good foundation. But I never thought that as we entered the 21st century, various Hua gangs would suddenly decline rapidly, with many of them disappearing or just barely surviving. Do you know why this is?'"
Ni Dawai said awkwardly, "These years... federal forces have indeed been cracking down on gangs more and more strongly, and overseas compatriots are not as united as people from the southern and western regions. So it's become even harder..."
Ye Chen waved his hand, speaking very seriously, "What you're saying is just an excuse. In my view, Hua gang abroad declined rapidly because they lost their bloodline!"
As he spoke, Ye Chen said again: "Many members of Hua gang from back then were veterans who had just left the battlefield. After leaving the battlefield and abandoning their military careers, some people wanted to see what the outside world was like and so they crossed oceans to come here to make a living. At that time, coming to the Federation meant risking nine deaths out of ten; therefore, they didn't fear death or the Northern Federal Republic people, nor the people from the Western Republic, Algeria, and other countries. To them, the mafia was nothing but a joke! The drug traffickers in West Mexico were what kind of thing? When they stood on this land after risking nine deaths out of ten, their lives were just eight words: 'Life and death are fleeting; don't be afraid to fight!'"
As Ye Chen continued speaking, he pointed at Ni Dawai: "Take a look at you people, these so-called second- or third-generation Flame Country folks. You've already lost your parents' bloodline! Many of you were even born in the Northern Federal Republic and obtained their passports without having to cross oceans. Then you grew up drinking milk and eating hamburgers and macaroni. Even if you're wolves' descendants, you've long since become Pomeranians. Not only have you lost your parents' bloodline, but now they're asking you to sit in your ancestors' shoes and walk the same path again. You might still be soft even before you step foot on the boat!"
Ni Dawai's head sank even deeper.
He knew Ye Chen was speaking the truth.
In his youth, his father had participated in the Southwest war, and his old superior had gone ahead of him to the Northern Federation, earning some money and inviting him to join them. It was during that time that these middle-aged people with bullet wounds all over their bodies formed Hua gang on Flame Street and made a name for themselves in the Northern Federal Republic and Kanar.
Back then, the Northern Federation was like a giant sponge, wildly absorbing immigrants from all over the world. Various ethnic groups established gangs like mushrooms after a rainstorm, with over a thousand gangs in just one city alone. Looking at the entire North Federal Republic, there were tens of thousands of gangs.
However, during that era's Hua gang, they managed to carve out their own path amidst these countless gangs, relying on the bloodline deep within them.
But by Ni Dawai's generation, the bloodline had almost disappeared, and so Hua gang continued to decline, constantly losing and retreating. Originally, people thought at least there was still Flame Street as a strong base. But who could have predicted that the enemy's strength was already overwhelming, having been beaten down multiple times?
"Thinking about this, he reddened his eyes and told Lei Chen: 'Lei Chen, I swear to you on behalf of Ni Dawai that we will definitely find a way to retrieve Hua gang's bloodline!'"
"'All right, all said,' he nodded slightly, stood up straightening his back, and opened his mouth: 'I won't linger here anymore. In the future, you two will have to rely on yourselves for everything. When you encounter trouble, it'll be your own responsibility.'"
"Both of them nodded in unison. Lei Chen continued: 'By the way, even though gangs are scarce in the North Federal Republic, you should still use the code of conduct to restrain yourself. Don't bully the weak or exploit others for personal gain. If one day you two become like those gang members, I'll come back to the North Federal Republic and settle your accounts myself!'"
As Lei Chen and Chen Zhaojun left the barbecue store together, Chen Zhaojun turned around and looked at that simple door face with a sigh. 'From now on, my father's barbecue skills will be lost forever,' he whispered."
"Lei Chen smiled and asked him: 'Uncle Clock, will you doubt or oppose my decision today?'" JrNovels.com
