Chapter 1831
“But ……,” said Li Guoliang, suddenly with a difficult look on his face.
“But what?” Ji Feng asked, “Looking at you like this, is there any change in the middle?”
“It’s not really a change, it’s just that ……” Li Guoliang said with some hesitation, “Let’s put it this way, I first made contact with that Qing Gang’s Hall Master, then he went to find the Gang Master and the elders, while I was at the place he arranged place to wait for news. That’s why I delayed for so long before returning. However, after that hall master came back, there was some of that what ……”
Ji Feng couldn’t help but say, “Guoliang, when did you become so inked up? If you have anything to say, just say it directly, it’s fine.”
Li Guoliang nodded and said, “After that Qing Gang Hall Master I know came back, he conveyed the meaning of the Qing Gang senior management. They agreed to see us and could give us a chance to talk, but we might not be able to meet the Youth Gang’s gang leader this time when we go over there.”
Ji Feng immediately frowned: “Can’t meet the Youth Gang’s gang leader? Then what’s the point of talking?”
Now Ji Feng kind of understood why Li Guoliang was so hesitant and had a difficult look on his face, it was obvious that the result Li Guoliang got from the Qing Gang wasn’t too good.
Although it was said that the people from Qing Gang agreed that they could meet them, but the gang leader did not come out, so who else could come out, the elders below, or directly the hall master that Li Guoliang knew to talk to them?
It seemed that the Qing Gang was not really willing to help with this, but probably because of the face of the hall master, they agreed to talk about it, but exactly how to talk and what the result of the talk would be, all these questions were unknown, but Ji Feng was likely to have guessed the result.
Li Guoliang said: “The hall master I know said that this time to talk to us, although the gang leader does not appear, but, there will certainly be elders to appear. In the Qing Gang, the gang master is actually just a leading boss, but he won’t have full authority, the elders underneath actually have a lot of power, moreover, the gang master is actually just in charge of the big picture, but the real division of labour is still in the hands of the individual elders.”
Ji Feng was noncommittal and did not speak, just listening to Li Guoliang go on.
Li Guoliang continued, “For example, there are elders who specialise in punishment, and if someone internally makes a mistake, or breaks the rules of the gang, this elder will use the power at his disposal to punish the people in the gang, and no one else can say anything about it. There are also elders who are in charge of external affairs, such as the operation of some external properties and so on. These elders, they all have a lot of power.”
The children of the youth gangs are spread all over the world, although it is said that times are different now and not all of them strictly enforce the rules of the youth gangs.
However, those youth gang members who gathered together still had very strict rules.
The youth gangs in Rice, for example, have close ties with those in other countries, and after all, the times are developing and all kinds of transport and communication equipment are very advanced.
In the past, it might take a few months to travel from China to Rice, and in between, they had to resupply on the shore.
At that time, the children of the youth gangs between the two countries naturally did not have any contact, and even if they did, it was through letters, or some other means, which were rather backward.
For example, if a youth gang member who had settled in England made a mistake, there was no way to punish him with the rules of the gang, even if the top bra*s of the gang based in Rice had the authority to do so.
But now, with the strengthening of China and the hostile attitude of some countries towards the Chinese, the Chinese overseas have learned to stick together and the majesty of the gang is even greater.
What’s more, now that technology is more advanced, transport and communication have become more convenient, and it can be said that the whole circle of the world has been narrowed at once.
Many Chinese tycoons have businesses all over the world and, of course, inevitably, they may cross paths with each other, which creates a circle.
In such circumstances, it becomes even more important for the youth gangs to maintain their majesty.
So in other countries, if a member of the gang makes a mistake, it doesn’t matter if it’s a minor one, as long as the local gang is punished.
But if it was a more serious mistake, the Youth Gang headquarters would send someone over to deal with it directly, and at this time, no one would dare not buy it.
This is the effect of the development of the times, which has made the authority of the Youth Gang even more powerful.
In this way, the power in the hands of the elders at the headquarters of the Youth Gang has increased greatly. One elder is enough to represent the whole gang, and there may be an unknown number of halls under his hands.
For example, the elder in charge of the Hall of Punishment is not only in control of the Hall of Punishment at the headquarters, but also of the other local halls of the Youth Gang. Moreover, the hall masters of those torture halls would come to report every once in a while.
How many Youth Gang members are there in the world?
I am afraid no one can say for sure, at least hundreds of thousands of them. How many of them are rich? How many are skilled? How many of them are top killers?
I’m afraid no one can say for sure how many of them are wealthy?
But one thing is certain, that is, there is no shortage of talent in the gang, and there are definitely many rich people, and there are definitely some top killers.
Imagine, who would dare to mess with such a gang?
Can the Youth Gang not be powerful?
Then, the power of these elders naturally went without saying.
Ji Feng nodded slightly, this was information that he didn’t know much about before, but now that he heard Li Guoliang say this, he had a general understanding of it.
“Guoliang, you mean to say that even if only one elder comes out, the other gangs still have to give face, right?” Ji Feng asked.
“That’s right. The prestige and strength of the Qing Gang in Rice, that goes without saying. It might still be slightly inferior in New York, but if it were in San Francisco, it would definitely be the premier power in the region, and there is no power that can match it.” Li Guoliang said.
“Hmm! I do know something about that.” Ji Feng was deeply impressed.
San Francisco, but anyone who had any knowledge of Chinese history would not be unfamiliar with this place, even though it was a foreign city far across the ocean.
The reason lies in the origin of the name San Francisco.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court was corrupt and incompetent, and foreign enemies invaded the country.
At that time, countless Chinese people were tricked into going to Rice to ‘go for gold’.
Those buyers, cajoled the people of the time that there was gold everywhere in Rice, and there was even a city called ‘Gold Mountain’, which is how San Francisco came to be.
It was only after the people had endured the extremely harsh conditions in the ship’s hold and crossed the ocean to San Francisco, that they realised they had been deceived. They had come here not to look for gold at all, but to be used as cheap labour, even as if they were piglets, with no medicine when they were sick and no one to ask them, and if they were very sick, they would simply be thrown into the middle of nowhere and left to fend for themselves.
However, such days were unknown to those far away in China, and under the great propaganda of those buyers and foreigners’ lackeys, countless Chinese crossed the ocean and were tricked into going to San Francisco.
Many people in modern times may not be aware of that period of history, but it is only occasionally mentioned in movies and television productions, or in novels, but the suffering of our forefathers was real.
It was because of that life, which was worse than that of an animal, that the Chinese people, who had had enough of oppression and humiliation, began to resist, to band together and to fight against those who had humiliated them.
As the Chinese gradually got a foothold in San Francisco, it was only when they looked back that they suddenly realised that almost the whole of San Francisco had become the domain of the Chinese.
The local Chinatown, in particular, was no stranger to even the Chinese who had never been out there, it was just like being at home.
The Chinese are also the number one power in San Francisco, and even the Miamians have to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Just say what Kerry City of the Kerry people, what Boundary Tent’s Boundary Tent Road, in front of the Chinese Chinatown, that is not worth mentioning at all.
There is no foreign power in San Francisco that can match the power of the Chinese.
And the headquarters of the Green Gang is in San Francisco!
So even if one of the local Youth Gang’s hall masters came out and coughed, the whole of San Francisco would catch a chill with him. If an elder of the Youth Gang stomped out, hey, the whole of San Francisco would have to shake a little.
You can imagine how powerful the Youth Gang is in San Francisco.
As for the Youth Gang here in New York, it is just a branch of the Youth Gang. But even so, Chinese power is not to be underestimated in Rice, and it is not to be underestimated in New York!
“Since that’s the case, then what’s there to worry about?” Ji Feng asked.
Since there was an elder of the Green Gang willing to step in, I believed that the other gangs would definitely give face, of course, perhaps not as much as the face of the leading boss of the Green Gang, but it was not useless.
If that was the case, then why was Li Guoliang still looking difficult?
Li Guoliang hesitated for a moment before saying, “Mr. Ji, the hall master I know said that maybe the Qing Gang is not too serious about this matter, so let’s not get our hopes up either ……”
Ji Feng immediately frowned: “What does this mean? After talking for half a day, it seems like the Qing Gang doesn’t want to help?”
Li Guoliang then became a little embarra*sed as he said, “It’s not that they don’t want to help, maybe they think that this matter we have done a little …… too much.”
Chapter 1832
Ji Feng frowned at once: “What does that mean? After talking for half a day, it seems like the Qing Gang doesn’t want to help?”
Li Guoliang was a bit embarra*sed as he said, “It’s not that they don’t want to help, maybe they think that this matter is a bit …… too much for us to do.”
“Too much?”
Ji Feng’s eyebrows instantly wrinkled up, piling up into a ‘Chuan’ character: “Guoliang, say something clearer, what is going on?”
Li Guoliang then became a bit embarra*sed, not knowing what to say, so he just hesitated.
Ji Feng waved his hand and said, “If there’s anything you want to say, just say it, no need to have any worries, say it.”
Li Guoliang was still a bit hesitant, he said deliberately, “That is to say, the Qing Gang side thinks that we have destroyed the Yamaguchi Group at every turn and taken out so many important figures of the gang, this kind of behavior is a bit too much, so ……”
“So they’re not too willing to come out and mediate, right?” Ji Feng asked.
“Also, not really, since the elders of the Qing Gang are willing to give us a chance to talk, that means there is still room for manoeuvre in this matter, depending on how well we talk then.” Li Guoliang said.
“I understand.” Ji Feng nodded his head.
It seemed that perhaps it was because the people from the Qing Gang thought that their own tactics were a bit too much, or that their own approach was not quite in line with the current rules of the jianghu, making it less convenient for them to come out as mediators.
Or perhaps, it is because what they did, touched some of the interests of the Green Gang?
Or maybe there is some other reason …… but whatever the reason, the result now is that the Qing Gang is not too happy to be the mediator, but for the face of the hall master that Li Guoliang knows, or rather, for the face of everyone is Chinese, the Qing Gang cannot help but show something.
Therefore, the Youth Gang agreed to give them a chance to talk, but it was not clear what the final outcome would be and whether the Youth Gang would step in as a result.
Although Ji Feng would not a*sume anything before the final result came out, this situation had given him a rough idea – the possibility of getting the Qing Gang to step in this time was probably not too great.
Li Guoliang’s face was not too good either, in fact, getting this result was also something he did not expect beforehand.
Before considering this plan, Li Guoliang had contacted that hall master and the answer he got was that he could give it a try, and that the Qing Gang should give him the face.
But now it seemed that the Green Gang might not necessarily come to his aid.
The reason for this was that the Green Gang thought that what Ji Feng had done was a bit too much.
In fact, there was something else Li Guoliang did not say, not that he was unwilling to say it, but it was really not very good to say.
That hall master told Li Guoliang that when the elders above knew that it was Ji Feng who was coming to them for help, their faces were not too good, and they even gave Ji Feng the comment of ‘a yellow-mouthed little boy who is too flamboyant’.
Ji Feng had exterminated the Yamaguchi group in one go, and had taken out so many important figures from so many big gangs, such an act was tantamount to going to war directly with those big gangs.
Even if the Yakuza wanted to retaliate, they would at most send people from the Yakuza headquarters in the boundary tent, and it was unknown whether they could finish off Ji Feng.
However, the rest of the big gangs, themselves located in Rice, their gang’s important figures were killed by Ji Feng, how could these gangs rest in peace?
Even if the Qing Gang stepped in, what could they do?
At most, those gangs might give face to Qing Gang and stop targeting Ji Feng so recklessly, but that is only on the surface, what they would do in private is beyond the control of Qing Gang.
After all, their gang has lost an important person, if they have to stop just based on a word from the Qing Gang, how can they still have a foothold in New York and how can they still be in the road? Who else would want to follow them?
What’s more, the top bra*s of the Qing Gang itself had a very bad opinion of Ji Feng.
Especially, when the rumours from the outside world emerged, the people of the Qing Gang also learned about this matter and the background of Ji Nan Yue and Ji Feng and the others.
Although the time was too short, so they did not understand it clearly, but they knew that the Weida Group was a very powerful group of companies, and Ji Nan Yue was a rich man, while Ji Feng was obviously a kind of second generation, a playboy.
It was also because Ji Feng was a playboy that he did things without thinking, and on the basis of having a rich relative, he dared to take out important figures of those big gangs so recklessly.
Even the top bra*s of the Qing Gang suspected that it wasn’t even Ji Feng’s hand that killed off the important missions of those big gangs. It was rumoured by the outside world that it was done by Ji Feng with his men, but I am afraid that this rumour is also untrue.
Some people have noticed that the rumors are saying that Ji Feng brought his men …… and when you think about it in conjunction with the fact that Ji Feng is a relative of Ji Nan Yue, everything becomes clear.
The actual people who really did it at that time should be his men.
Moreover, the rumours did not say too clearly how many henchmen Ji Feng actually had, but I think the number should be quite a few, otherwise, how could he have destroyed the Yamaguchi-gumi in one night, and taken out so many gang leaders and important figures in one night?
Even Carl, the head of the Fells family, a powerful family in the White Hand, was taken out.
If you have money, you can naturally find experts, there is nothing unusual about that.
Therefore, the senior management of the Green Gang thought that there should be no doubt that Ji Feng had an expert on his side, but Ji Feng was definitely not an expert of anything, which was understandable.
Because of this, the people of the Qing Gang were a little less interested in meeting Ji Feng. They were all real fighters when they were young, so they all felt dislike, or even disgust, for this kind of fop.
If it was Ji Nan Yue who went to beg the Qing Gang, perhaps the top bra*s of the Qing Gang would still consider it carefully, and the attitude would definitely be different. After all, Ji Nan Yue, as a woman, had built such a large family business with her own hands, which made people feel admired. The fact that Ji Nan Yue is also a Chinese, as a compatriot overseas, will definitely help if it can.
But Ji Feng, the second generation well ……
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are getting into.
This is what Li Guoliang did not say, these words, of course, he could not say to Ji Feng, nor did he dare to say.
Moreover, among these people in Rice, I am afraid that no one knows better than Li Guoliang whether Ji Feng is a fop, a second generation, or a real expert.
Even at that time, when he heard these words, Li Guoliang wanted to tell the hall master he knew what Ji Feng was really from, and how strong he really was!
But without Ji Feng’s permission, Li Guoliang could not disclose a single word of information about him, even if the other party was also from the special department of China, which was the principle of confidentiality.
“Mr. Ji, I think …… it might be better if we could get Mr. Ji to talk to the Qing Gang.” Li Guoliang hesitated for a moment, but still suggested, “After all, Mr. Ji’s status is different from yours, and since she is a female comrade, I believe it is better to talk ……”
But before Li Guoliang could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ji Feng.
Only to see Ji Feng waved his hand and said, “Dismiss this idea before it’s too late, Chief Ji is not available!”
It was because he considered that his little sister was stubborn, if Hong Yiming provoked him again, she would probably go to Wei Da Group, attend that board meeting or whatever, and thus would be noticed by those gangs, and her personal safety might not even be guaranteed at that time.
It is for this reason that Ji Feng has temporarily changed his plan, he has to consider other ways, at least to ensure the safety of his sister, and then he can consider how to solve this matter.
But now the people from the Qing Gang had not even come forward to make peace, so naturally Xiao Nun could not come forward even more.
So this idea simply wouldn’t work. If Xiao Gu could come out comfortably, then Ji Feng wouldn’t even need to go to the Qing Gang to help, he could easily solve the problem himself.
“It seems that the path of getting the Qing Gang to help is not going to work either.” Ji Feng mused.
“Young Ji, what should we do then?” White Spider asked.
She had some worries in her heart, although Ji Feng was super strong, but the problem was, this was in Rice, guns were rife, and Ji Feng and the gangsters they had offended, those people were ruthless, killing people was nothing to them.
Now those gangs are obviously frantically looking for Ji Feng, in this situation, if they find him, there is only one way to die.
Even if the gangs couldn’t find them, what if the other side aimed at Mr. Ji of the Weida Group and tried to catch him regardless of everything?
Ji Feng waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry, things can’t be any worse, if it doesn’t work, just follow my plan, it will only be a bit of trouble at most.”
Bai Spider was stunned, she was not quite sure what Ji Feng had planned.
Li Guoliang said in a panic, “Mr. Ji, the Qing Gang’s side is not completely impossible. They still gave us a chance to talk after all, when we meet the elders of the Qing Gang and then reveal your identity, I believe this face they will definitely give, we always have to ensure the safety of Mr. Ji first!”
Ji Feng nodded thoughtfully and said, “That’s also right!”
Li Guoliang immediately said, “Then I will immediately contact the hall master I know and ask him to arrange a time. Mr. Ji, do you think it’s feasible to meet the elders of the Green Gang this evening?”
“It’s possible!” Ji Feng nodded, but he had little hope in his heart.
