Chapter 672

7 minutes later.

A car pulled over to the side of the road.

Gu Huaxing walked over with three of his men.

He had found Hong's message from that counterfeit master, and then followed the address in the message to find this place.

Why did he value the counterfeit master so much?

Because his uncle, his eldest brother, and four others (the Four Heavenly Kings of the Triad) had been captured by the General, who demanded a large sum of money for their ransom.

He didn't have enough money, so he could only come up with the idea of manufacturing counterfeit currency.

Gu Huaxing got out of the car with his three men, then saw the dead police officers on the side of the road, and his expression changed drastically.

At this moment,

Just in time!

The long wail of police sirens tore through the night sky as five police cars sped toward them, getting closer and closer.

"Not good, run!"

Although Gu Huaxing was arrogant, it was impossible for him to foolishly confront the police; if he were to do anything, it would be to kill them to silence them.

The group quickly got into the car.

Starting the vehicle, clutch and throttle, first gear, second gear, third gear...

By the time they accelerated, two police cars had directly intercepted the front of their vehicle.

"Ram through!!"

Gu Huaxing shouted.

The car sped forward, crashing into the police car in front and breaking out a path.

This had truly poked a hornet's nest.

The police car quickly reported: "Suspects spotted! Suspects spotted!"

"The vehicle is heading east toward Locke Road..."

The police cars began to quickly surround and intercept them.

Not long after,

On the other side, the police arrived at Luo De's home.

They saw the corpses of Luo De and Hong lying in the living room, and what was even more heartbreaking was that in the second-floor bedroom, Luo De's wife lay in a pool of blood, with only three stowaways (two adults and one child) left alive.

Why didn't you die?

You really deserve to die!

The tragic situation made the police officers furious.

If these people dare to kill Martin and Luo De's family today, tomorrow you will dare to kill us!

Consequently,

The Los Angeles Police Department blew up, with a large number of police cars rushing out, along with helicopters.

They were in hot pursuit of Gu Huaxing's car.

A new day,

Early in the morning,

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu got up from the hotel feeling refreshed and, together with Tian Yangsheng, went to the tea restaurant downstairs for morning tea.

The television was playing the news from the American Broadcasting Company's KABC station.

"Dear viewers, two shocking criminal incidents occurred in Los Angeles last night."

"Senior officers Martin and Luo De of the San Francisco Police Department were attacked in their homes simultaneously; two brutal massacres resulted in the deaths of 4 people from 2 police families!"

"The following is information on the perpetrators..."

"Gu Huaxing, male, 35 years old, Chinese-American from Los Angeles Tang Renjie..."

"This person is also related to the smuggling case from four days ago..."

"A bounty of 200,000 USD has been issued for his capture..."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "???"

Tian Yangsheng: "???"

The two looked at each other.

Gu Huaxing's exposure happened earlier than Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu had anticipated.

This also meant that the Umbrella Corporation's expansion speed needed to accelerate.

With the Triad leaderless, their territory naturally couldn't be held, and major gangs sent people one after another, preparing to occupy the Triad's territory.

At this moment,

There were several major gangs in Los Angeles:

Chinese forces:

— He Sheng Gang, leader Zhang Li. (From "Rogue Assassin")

— Hua Qing Gang, leader Sun Chu. (From "Luo Miou Must Die")

Island Nation: The Hand, leader Shiro Harakawa. (From "Rogue Assassin")

African-American:

— Isaak O'Day, who had always been a mortal enemy of Sun Chu. (From "Luo Miou Must Die")

— Chambers, a Black gang, holed up in prison, but he had freedom in prison, no different from the warden; he was wealthy and powerful, and had a boxing arena... (From "Cradle 2 the Grave")

White:

— Leader Vincent, whose main business was drug trafficking. (From "True Romance")

— Leader Frank Costello. (From "The Departed")

Besides these major gangs, there were countless Latino and African-American gangs.

However, this battle for territory!

The main force was concentrated on the two Chinese gangs, the He Sheng Gang and the Hua Qing Gang.

Because the Triad's territory was in Tang Renjie.

Tang Renjie,

In a three-story detached office building.

Zhang Li, the leader of the He Sheng Gang, was watching the news report on the manhunt for Gu Huaxing on TV. (From "Rogue Assassin")

Just then, two sets of footsteps approached quickly, and a knock sounded on the door.

"Come in!"

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

The people who came in were Zhang Li's two trusted subordinates; the second-in-command was called Di Wu (from "Young and Dangerous: Szeto Ho-nam"), and the third was called Gao (from "Fast & Furious: Han").

Zhang Li said: "We must take this territory of the Triad!"

Di Wu nodded: "Boss is right; if this territory is left vacant and we don't grab it, other gangs will, and we are determined to have it."

Gao nodded: "Agreed."

Soon,

The He Sheng Gang began to send a large number of men rushing toward the Triad's territory.

At the same time,

A manor villa in the West District of Los Angeles.

The home of Sun Chu, leader of the Hua Qing Gang. ("Luo Miou Must Die")

Sun Chu was an old man in his 50s who had come to Los Angeles with his family when he was young. After decades of hard work, he had finally carved out a "kingdom" and occupied a piece of territory in Tang Renjie and the surrounding areas.

He had two sons; one was called Han Xing (Jet Li). A few years ago, Sun Chu committed a crime in the Mainland, and Han Xing took the blame for him and went to prison. The younger son was by his side, living in Los Angeles.

Originally, his capable assistant was Long Kai, who had strong combat power and ability, but he was inexplicably killed overnight. (Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: Hehehe~~~)

And the younger son?

He was just an innocent youth, carrying the clear stupidity of "the world is beautiful" and "one should be kind."

So Sun Chu did not hand over the gang's affairs to him.

With the Triad's Gu Huaxing being wanted, the Triad would inevitably fall apart.

So, without a word, he began to gather his men.

Action!

Grab the territory!

On the Umbrella Corporation's side,

Xiao Fu was mobilizing.

"Those triad gangs might intervene, but don't worry about them. We will proceed according to the original plan. As long as the merchants have signed the contract, they will receive our protection!"

"Don't be afraid of trouble, fight them for me. We are now legal property security, acting in self-defense. We have more people than them, the law will be on our side, the police station will be on our side, and even if there are problems, the bail bond company will help you pay..."

"At worst, we'll just have the lawyers solve it then!"

"For every successful push, there is a reward of 100 USD. If there's any fighting, medical expenses and settlement fees are all covered!"

"Yes, Boss!"

Each and every employee was high-spirited.

Following Xiao Fu's order, thousands of Umbrella Corporation employees began their ground push.

Where gangs existed, protection fees naturally had to be paid, and they would also participate in usury, debt collection, prostitution, and other activities.

But now, with the Umbrella Corporation entering the scene, there was no need to pay protection fees; one only needed to pay property management fees, and all troubles would be solved by the Umbrella Corporation.

If you didn't pay, the Umbrella Corporation would have no excuse to help you when other gangs threatened you. If you wanted them to help, you had to sign a property contract.

Tang Renjie,

Dabao Dumpling Shop.

The boss and his wife were selling dumplings.

Tables of diners were eating dumplings.

Just then,

Umbrella Corporation employees walked in, promoting the property protection agreement.

"Are you the Umbrella Corporation?"

"Yes!"

"That's great, finally waited for you! My friend is in the Tang Renjie in San Francisco, and you've managed that Tang Renjie very well!"

What is reputation?

This is it!

San Francisco and Los Angeles are not far apart, and the connection between the Chinatowns is very frequent.

San Francisco Tang Renjie, because of its reliable security, had terrifyingly high foot traffic, and the shop owners were all rolling in money.

What does all this rely on?

It's the Umbrella Corporation!

So the Tang Renjie here in Los Angeles naturally hoped for the same.

Welcoming the royal army with joy!

"I am willing to pay the property fees to your Umbrella Property!" the boss said excitedly.

"Thank you for your support!"

The Umbrella Corporation employees consisted of one veteran and two new employees.

The new employees were incredibly excited.

Damn, this is too easy!

100 USD in hand, split among the three, 33 USD each!

Awesome!

Veteran: "Thank you for supporting our work. If you encounter any trouble, just call our number."

Boss laughed: "Support, definitely support."

Just at this moment,

Another wave of people turned the corner from another street and walked over.

Subordinates of Sun Chu from the Hua Qing Gang!

What a coincidence!

They bumped right into each other!

At this moment, the Hua Qing Gang subordinates walked into the restaurant.

"Hey, Boss, pay the protection fee!"

"From now on, this street is managed by our Hua Qing Gang. Pay 500 USD every month, you know?"

As soon as they entered the door,

The subordinates shouted loudly, and a group of them swarmed into the restaurant.

Then...

"Brother, this shop has already paid property fees to our Umbrella Corporation and is under our jurisdiction and protection... so please walk away."

"Umbrella Corporation? What kind of trash is that? Get lost!"

"What did you say?"

"F*** your mother! (Mixed Chinese and English profanity)"

"If you have the guts, go outside and fight one-on-one!"

"Afraid of you?"

Soon,

A group of people went out to the street.

At the order, they started fighting!

Bang bang bang bang~~~

The sound of shattering glass exploded, and someone picked up a stool and smashed it toward the other's head. The muffled sound of fists colliding with flesh mixed with profanity, and several figures wrestled, knocking over roadside stalls. Someone was pinned to a car hood and beaten violently, with splashing nosebleeds staining the windshield. The chaotic crowd pushed and shoved on the street like a tide, startling passersby into screaming and fleeing.

Hua Qing Gang subordinate was furious: "Damn it, is your Umbrella Corporation not afraid of death!"

Umbrella Corporation subordinate: "Haha~~ We have medical expenses, we have bonuses, do you?"

Hua Qing Gang subordinate: "I..."

F*** your mother, I'm suddenly envious!

Umbrella Corporation subordinate: "Also, we are a legal company, we have contracts, legal, do you understand? Legal means if I hit you, it's self-defense; if you hit me, it's a crime, it's harming me!"

Hua Qing Gang subordinate: "I..."

Flipping the table (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ ah!

How can the difference be so big?!

"I don't believe it!"

Hua Qing Gang subordinate roared.

"You're lying!"

"Beep beep~~~"

A police car drove over.

Both sides stopped fighting.

Two white police officers put their hands on their holsters, opened them, touched the gun handles, and walked over.

"What are you doing?"

"Gathering to fight, are you trying to go to jail?"

Umbrella Corporation subordinate explained: "Sir, we are the Umbrella Property Company, not a triad... we have a partnership with your police force..."

"And the boss of this shop has already paid us property management fees..."

They explained it once.

Upon hearing this, the white police officer began to distinguish friend from foe.

Just this afternoon, the Umbrella Corporation donated 2 million USD to the police station for the officers' high-temperature subsidies.

Look, these are friends.

Turning back to look at the Hua Qing Gang subordinate, he said with indifference: "Did you hear clearly? People from the Umbrella Property Company collected money, so they have legal security status! You are committing a crime, do you know that!"

"If I see you committing a crime again, I will shoot directly!"

Hua Qing Gang subordinate: "............"

This works too?

In the following days,

The same scenes appeared repeatedly.

The territory-grabbing behavior of the Hua Qing Gang and He Sheng Gang encountered great obstacles.

The Umbrella Corporation and the Los Angeles Police Department colluded with each other.

Suppressing these two "kind" gangs.

Whenever there was a fight, the police only arrested the Hua Qing Gang and the He Sheng Gang!

They even praised the Umbrella Corporation, saying things like: You have made a huge contribution to the public security of Los Angeles!

The Hua Qing Gang and He Sheng Gang were practically vomiting blood!

Four days later,

All the Triad's territory was completely swallowed by the Umbrella Corporation.

The merchants had long heard of the Umbrella Corporation's reputation; San Francisco Tang Renjie was the example!

Welcoming the royal army with joy!

The enthusiasm for signing was extremely high!

Please, Big Boss, take me with you to get rich ·jpg

Thus!

The Umbrella Corporation officially owned a piece of territory in Los Angeles.

Size: Half of Tang Renjie!

The rapid expansion of the Umbrella Corporation in Los Angeles naturally caused dissatisfaction among some people.

Especially — the Republican faction.

Then,

They began to take action.

The first to be sent into action was Kunnan, the Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, who was a Republican.

(From "The Departed")

"According to our investigation during this period..."

"Everything this Umbrella Corporation does is very legal, and they have money, can afford to hire big lawyers, and are very close to the Democratic Party..."

"So, we have no way to use ordinary methods to frame them."

"Then... that leaves us with one last path!"

"Send an undercover agent into the Umbrella Corporation!"

Chief Kunnan's suggestion was agreed upon by many Republicans.

Consequently,

The plan began to be implemented!

The rooftop.

Seeing the familiar rooftop again.

On this day, Kunnan met Billy, who had been undercover in the gang for half a year.

(From "The Departed")

Billy Costigan was born into a family that had been in the gang for generations. His father despised the family's evil deeds and preferred to work as a porter at the airport, yet he still couldn't escape the fate of being implicated by the gang and eventually died tragically.

His mother's only wish before she died was for Billy to be a good person, so he hated his gang family extremely, and even refused to acknowledge those gang relatives.

He studied hard and scored 1400 on the college entrance exam, but he chose to enter the police academy because he was determined to stand on the opposite side of the gang and become a police officer who punished evil and promoted good.

However, just as he was about to be promoted to a regular officer, fate played a huge joke on him.

Chief Kunnan planned to have Billy go undercover into the gang to combat crime.

Moreover, Billy couldn't refuse.

Everything was because of his gang family background.

(Chen Yongren: I'm damn familiar with this!)

There was no way out; in order to realize his noble dream, Billy could only obey the arrangement. Beating people, going to prison, accepting labor education; after being released on bail, he immediately found his cousin and asked him to take him to sell drugs.

Then...

Before he even started contacting the gang boss Frank Costello, Chief Kunnan called him to the rooftop, saying he had something to tell him.

"What? Not going undercover with Frank Costello anymore?"

"Let me go undercover at the Umbrella Corporation?"

Billy looked at his superior in disbelief.

"Don't you think this is ridiculous?"

"I just joined the gang, and you're making me change places?!"

Chief Kunnan patiently explained to Billy.

"Think about it, this Umbrella Corporation has too many unreasonable things..."

"Why does it like doing good deeds so much?"

"Why is it so rich?"

"And this police shooting case, most of the industries of the culprit Gu Huaxing were taken over by it, why?"

"Everything it does is so legal, but its nature is more like a gang..."

"Moreover, in San Francisco, it only took two years, and it can already influence the San Francisco election..."

"Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

"My intuition (the Republicans think) is that this Umbrella Corporation absolutely has problems!"

"I think it's a new type of crime, and its danger is much more dangerous than that Frank Costello!"

"So, I need you to go undercover there!"

After hearing this, Billy also felt that this Umbrella Corporation had problems.

His heart wavered.

Chief: "Don't you want to combat crime? I think this Umbrella Corporation is very suitable!"

Upon hearing this, Billy finally nodded.

Anyway, it was all about combating crime, so naturally, it should start from the source of evil.

"Okay, I agree!"

2 days later,

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu got up early in the morning and, taking Tian Yangsheng and Gong Wei, went to the Los Angeles branch of the Umbrella Corporation.

Today, he was leaving the United States and returning to Hong Kong.

The Umbrella Corporation had already stabilized in Los Angeles, and he had had his fill of fun.

It was time to go back.

He held a meeting with Xiao Fu, Abu, Ji Shaoqun, and the others.

After the meeting ended,

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and his group went downstairs, preparing to go to the airport.

Down on the first floor,

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu paused for a moment.

"Hmm?"

"Leonardo?"

He saw a fresh-meat version of "Leonardo" being led by an employee to complete the onboarding procedures.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu said a few words to Xiao Fu and went to the restroom.

Not long after, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu got the information on "Leonardo."

"Isn't this that little cutie from 'The Departed'?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu almost laughed.

Chen Yongren the second.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, Tian Yangsheng, and Gong Wei got into the car, with Abu driving, to take Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu to the airport.

In the car.

"Abu, do you know the story of our brother Ah Ren?"

"I know, his father was a triad member, he couldn't become a police officer, then he became an undercover agent, and finally went undercover at Brother Zu's place, and then was highly valued by Brother Zu..."

"As long as you know... that Billy from just now, like Ah Ren, when you go back, follow Ah Ren's template and give him a set."

"Ah?"

"Ah what? The Umbrella Corporation has such a huge talent gap now. Such a good top student has arrived, why not use him ruthlessly, treat him like an ox or a horse? Make him work ruthlessly?"

Abu: "............"

That makes so much sense!

One hour later,

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, Tian Yangsheng, and Gong Wei were at Los Angeles Airport, boarded the plane, and returned to Hong Kong.

Abu returned to the Umbrella Corporation and told Xiao Fu about it.

Xiao Fu's eyes lit up.

First, he investigated Billy's experience; he really was a police academy graduate, then went to prison, then joined the gang...

Brother Zu is awesome!

He even knew this!

Xiao Fu didn't say a word, called Billy over: "From today on, you are my secretary. Keep your phone on 24 hours a day, on call at any time!"

Billy: "???"

What the hell?

Isn't this promotion a bit too fast?

I haven't even shown my ability yet, hey!

Could it be that the boss took a fancy to my looks?

Hiss~~~

Billy had an urge to run!

That night,

Chief Kunnan received this news.

"???"

He also doubted his life.

Leaked?

Impossible!

Billy's identity was only known to him and Dignam; it was impossible to leak.

So...

Why?

Could it be that the boss, Li Fu, thought Billy was too handsome? Wanted to sexually harass him?

Kunnan sent a message back to Billy:

"In order to eradicate evil, you must satisfy all the other party's requirements!"

Billy: Middle finger!

Screw you!

——————————————

PS: Two chapters totaling nearly 10,000 words, finishing the US plot, full of sincerity. I was going to split it to cheat for 3 chapters, but thought, forget it.

The next plot, the US part comes to an end, returning to Hong Kong + Mainland.

Also, I want to give my wife perfume, any recommendations from fellow readers? Brand model + price?
