Chapter 1834: Times Are Changing

"Your way of thinking is not wrong at all," Chen Yu nodded in approval. "You aren't as stubborn as your grandfather and your ancestors."

"The ancestral teachings of my ancestors aren't wrong, but the times are always changing, so we should change based on the reality of the situation instead of blindly letting the ancestral teachings restrict us," Tang Qing smiled. "Let's go, I know a place where the food is especially delicious."

"Alright then, I will respectfully obey," Chen Yu nodded and left with Tang Qing.

The streets at night were very beautiful, with antique-style lanterns on both sides, illuminating the entire street in a reddish glow.

The night market was also very lively, and Chen Yu followed Tang Qing to a small dumpling shop.

They ordered a few side dishes and two servings of dumplings.

"I lived in the country for a period of time, and after coming back, I couldn't get used to the food here," Tang Qing smiled. "But the dumplings at this place are especially authentic, especially this, it's particularly delicious."

Tang Qing was pointing at a plate of century eggs; foreigners really can't accept this stuff.

"I'm surprised to see cold tossed century eggs here?" Chen Yu was slightly stunned, and he smiled. "This is truly surprising."

"Try it," Tang Qing smiled slightly.

Chen Yu nodded, picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of century egg, and put it into his mouth.

This crisp and refreshing texture left a very pleasant aftertaste.

The dumplings were pork and mushroom filling, and the taste was quite good. Chen Yu said while eating, "How did you find this place?"

This shop was in a remote location, so it was hard for an average person to find it. Unless one was a seasoned foodie, it really wouldn't be easy to find a shop in such a remote place.

"A foodie's nose is usually very sharp," Tang Qing smiled. "I followed the scent and found my way here."

"Miss Tang, is this your friend?" Just then, the shopkeeper walked over; he was already very familiar with Tang Qing.

Moreover, most people in Chinatown knew Tang Qing; after all, among those living here, there was no one who didn't know the Tang Clan Medicine Hall.

"Yes, Uncle Zhang, this is my friend. Today's dumplings are especially delicious," Tang Qing smiled faintly.

"Then you should come more often in the future. I heard that your Tang Clan is going to take over Milan Street, and your younger brother is going to establish a patrol group?" Uncle Chen inquired.

"Yes, Uncle Chen, that is the case," Tang Qing smiled.

"That's great! I heard that Tang Lao is going to be the president of the General Association? If that's really the case, then we will have peace here from now on," Uncle Chen slapped his thigh and said.

"That is the case. When the time comes, I will have to trouble all of you neighbors to give us your support," Tang Qing nodded slightly, acknowledging the matter.

"That's a must. Old Master Tang is virtuous and prestigious, and everyone knows the reputation of the Tang Clan. With you taking over this place, we will be able to live good lives from now on."

"That's right, those people before were simply acting recklessly. We who are making a living in a foreign land have no connections and can only swallow our pride. If it really is the Tang Clan taking over, then no one will bully us anymore."

The people around were discussing it heatedly. Everyone trusted the Tang Clan very much because Old Master Tang had a great reputation, and the Tang Clan was also an Aristocratic Family of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

For some impoverished patients, the Tang Clan didn't even charge any fees, so now that they heard the Tang Clan was going to take power, everyone was incredibly excited.

"Please rest assured, the Tang Clan will definitely provide everyone with a good business environment. We Chinese compatriots will work together," Tang Qing stood up and said. "I guarantee that from now on, absolutely no unfair things will happen again."

"Good, Miss Tang said it well."

"We believe in you, and we also believe in the Tang Clan."

Everyone applauded one after another. In the last few days, the rumors about the Tang Clan taking power had already become the talk of the town, but everyone didn't know if this matter was actually true.

After all, the impression the Tang Clan gave people was always one of gentleness and elegance, while the situation here on Milan Street was very complex. Now that it was suddenly said the Tang Clan was going to take over here, it was more or less hard for people to believe.

"Look, your Tang Clan is what everyone hopes for; everyone has suffered for too long," Chen Yu said after she sat down. "It is precisely because of this that the burden on the Tang Clan's shoulders will be even heavier."

"I understand. Actually, the people living here are mostly the working masses who have no say at all; all they have is resignation to their fate," Tang Qing nodded.

The two finished eating and left the small shop. While walking on the road, Chen Yu felt that someone was following them from behind.

He led Tang Qing to a dead-end alley.

"Why come here?" Tang Qing was a bit confused.

"You'll know soon," Chen Yu smiled slightly. He turned his head and said, "Come out. You've been sneaking around following us the whole way; aren't you tired?"

Tang Qing was startled. She looked back and saw several cars rushing over, blocking the small alley tightly.

More than ten people got out of the cars. These people were local forces; they were carrying axes and knives in their hands, looking aggressive and clearly not coming with good intentions.

Tang Qing was stunned. She was a little scared. Chen Yu patted her shoulder to comfort her, then stood in front of her.

With Chen Yu in front of her, smelling the masculine scent on him, Tang Qing finally let out a slight sigh of relief.

With Chen Yu there, she didn't seem so scared anymore.

"Tang Qing, come with us for a trip," an evil-looking man with a tattoo on his head and shiny studs in his nose, ears, and lips grinned, carrying a baseball bat in his hand as he walked forward.

Tang Qing didn't dare to speak; she knew these people were brought by some local forces.

"It's fine, I'm here," Chen Yu smiled slightly. He stared at the extremely non-mainstream man: "Who sent you?"

"It has nothing to do with you, don't bring trouble upon yourself," the man grinned, revealing an extremely ugly expression.

"Of course it has to do with me; you are here for her," Chen Yu said. "The Tang Clan is going to take charge of the Chinese Association. Now that the General Association is about to be established, you people still dare to act recklessly?"

"Hehe, we came here today to stop the establishment of the General Association. Don't waste your breath on him, tie up Tang Qing," the non-mainstream man waved his hand.

The dozen or so people behind him all stepped forward together, brandishing the weapons in their hands, and rushed toward Tang Qing aggressively.

Chen Yu shook his head, feeling a bit helpless. It seemed he would have to start a massacre again today.

His right hand made a lifting motion in the void toward the ground, and more than ten pebbles floated up from the ground, hovering eerily in mid-air.

"I'll warn you once: do not move forward again, otherwise you might die," Chen Yu warned them solemnly.

"Haha, are you crazy? What kind of trick is this? Magic?" The non-mainstream man laughed loudly, then he waved his hand: "Don't waste time, take care of this kid."

"Hack this kid!" Someone roared, and a group of people let out a howl and rushed forward with the weapons in their hands.
