Chapter 1823: Finalizing the Candidates

"Him? I know Tang Lao has a grandson, but he is very young, and his reputation in Chinatown is not particularly outstanding. If we let him come, will he be able to suppress the other factions?" An'er was startled.

He knew Tang Yi, a simple and honest young man, but letting Tang Yi take charge of this matter was indeed somewhat inappropriate.

But since Chen Yu had said so, there must be a reason for it.

"Tang Yi is my disciple now; is that enough?" Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Enough." An'er's expression turned stern; he finally understood.

So Chen Yu intended to personally support Tang Yi. With him as Tang Yi's master, surely no one would dare to be unconvinced?

"With Mr. Chen personally stepping forward, Tang Yi will surely advance by leaps and bounds, but I still need some time to persuade the wealthy gentry of Milan Street," An'er said.

Yes, when Wang Ye was still around, those with some influence were kept firmly under his thumb.

Now that Wang Ye is gone, those with some strength will all come out to fight for this position.

Therefore, he must persuade those few people; otherwise, the situation will be very troublesome.

"No need to persuade them. Tell them that if they don't agree, they can wait to die. Take a few people with guns inside and threaten them a bit. If they really don't agree, just kill one or two of them while you're at it," Chen Yu said.

He understood the minds of those people best. Kill one to warn a hundred; whoever is unconvinced, you just keep killing them one by one, and it is guaranteed to have a deterrent effect.

"Understood, I will arrange for people to do it now," An'er nodded slightly.

"Wait a moment, I will go see this person myself." Chen Yu saw one of the names on the list, called Li Qinggui.

Among many people, this man's financial power and strength were not the strongest, but his reputation was extremely high.

Back then, it was he who advocated for the establishment of the Chinese Association, but because his influence was weak, he was suppressed by Wang Ye until he couldn't lift his head.

Now, if he were to come forward to establish the Chinese Association, many people would buy into it, so chatting with this person should solve many troubles.

Li Qinggui operated a teahouse, and he was already over fifty years old this year.

His son ran a multinational corporation, and the business was doing quite well. When he learned of Chen Yu's intentions, he personally received Chen Yu.

"I didn't expect that the notorious Wang Ye would actually be dealt with by you, sir," Li Qinggui sighed, "He probably never imagined that he would end up with such a fate."

"Good and evil in this world have a relationship of Karma," Chen Yu smiled faintly, "So the cause he planted and the result he received are all Heaven's will."

"I roughly understand Mr. Chen's intention today. Chinatown cannot be without a master, because everyone wants to come up and take a bite of this piece of fat meat," Li Qinggui said.

"If there is no effective management, then our place will continue to see the same chaotic phenomena as before."

"Exactly, that is the reason I am looking for Mr. Li," Chen Yu said, "Mr. Li proposed the establishment of the Chinese Association back then to help Chinese people in difficulty overcome their hardships together."

"This idea was recognized by many people, so now I want to ask Mr. Li to come forward and establish the Chinese Association," Chen Yu said.

"I am old and have long since lost the ambition of my youth; I fear I am incapable of the position of president," Li Qinggui shook his head.

"The presidency is tentatively divided into three candidates; you and Tang Lao will each serve as one. Don't worry, it is just a nominal position; you won't be asked to do anything dangerous. There will be young people to charge into the fray," Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Who is that young person?" Li Qinggui asked.

"Tang Yi, who is Tang Lao's grandson. The Tang Family has practiced Traditional Chinese Medicine for generations, so you can rest assured. I guarantee that things like Wang Ye and his son running rampant will absolutely not happen again."

"So that is how you have considered it." Li Qinggui pondered for a long time, then said, "Will you allow me to consider it, please?"

"If Mr. Li has any other questions, you can ask me directly," Chen Yu said, "This matter is now imminent, so it is better to finalize it as soon as possible."

"Because various factions are eyeing the position of master of Milan Street, the sooner we decide, the better."

Li Qinggui pondered for a moment: "That child of the Tang family has a good character, but he is too young. If he is directly in charge, I fear some of the old things will be dissatisfied."

"When it comes to schemes, those old guys are unmatched. If Tang Yi is in front of them, I fear he will suffer."

"That is why I found Mr. Li," Chen Yu said, "Mr. Li is virtuous and prestigious; surely no one will have objections to you and Tang Lao serving as presidents."

"As for Tang Yi, he will establish the Law Enforcement Hall and set the rules. If anyone is unconvinced, he will step forward and beat them until they are convinced. How about that?"

Li Qinggui did not speak. After a long while, he slowly nodded and said, "What you said is indeed possible... but."

"If Mr. Li has any other questions, you can bring them up directly," Chen Yu smiled, "Are you suspicious of my identity?"

"To tell you the truth, I am curious about your identity. The change of master on Milan Street is a major event. Now, various Chinese factions are restless, but no one has mentioned the matter of establishing the General Association."

Li Qinggui said: "Because once the Chinese Association is established, it means some people cannot act as recklessly as they did before."

"May I ask who you are? Why do you advocate for the establishment of the Chinese Association?"

"My name is Chen Yu. I am not a Chinese 【overseas】, I am a proper person from Huaxia. I came here to handle some private matters. Fengyi Hall was destroyed by me, and Wang Ye and his son were dealt with by me," Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"You... is what you said all true?" Li Qinggui stood up abruptly. He looked at Chen Yu in shock, both his hands trembling slightly.

It was not out of fear, because he felt Wang Ye and his son deserved to die; he was just shocked by Chen Yu's methods.

The Wangs, father and son, had committed crimes on Milan Street for many years, causing public anger, but because of the strength and background of this pair of father and son, many people dared to be angry but dared not speak.

But this young man in front of him, who looked somewhat refined, was actually able to kill Wang Ye and his son, destroy Fengyi Hall, and then retreat unscathed? This made him feel very shocked.

"I destroyed it alone; it has nothing to do with anyone else. No matter what, the Chinese are compatriots. I just want to establish a new order," Chen Yu said calmly, "So that our compatriots no longer suffer in fire and water."

"If what you say is true, I am willing to come out of retirement to facilitate this matter," Li Qinggui nodded slightly. Among the Chinese, he still had some influence.

"Then thank you, Li Lao. Tang Yi is my disciple. In the future, if there is anything here he cannot solve, I will personally step forward to solve it for him, and I guarantee I will not let you all be troubled."
