Chapter 382 Sun Yuanlin's Shock
Lu Chen and Sun Yuanlin led their respective teams into the quaint teahouse. They walked through the bustling lobby and headed straight for a more secluded corner, eventually choosing a private room with a quiet environment and good sound insulation. After the two teams entered one after another, they all looked for suitable seats to sit down.
Lu Chen raised his hand to signal his men to go and order tea for everyone. Soon, the waiter brought cups of fragrant hot tea to everyone.
After everyone was seated safely, Sun Yuanlin could not wait to break the silence and asked, "Lu Chen, since you came to see me on purpose, don't hide it. Tell me what's going on."
Lu Chen smiled slightly and responded to Sun Yuanlin directly without beating around the bush: "President Sun, I believe you should know about the recent fierce battle between the Blood Gang and California 18th Street."
Sun Yuanlin nodded slightly, indicating that he had heard about this, and then asked: "I have heard a little about this matter, but I don't know why you mentioned this matter today? Are you trying to get me to join you and get involved in this dispute?"
The purpose of Lu Chen's visit this time was to persuade Sun Yuanlin to work with him to fight against the Blood Gang. So he nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Seeing Lu Chen's straightforward statement, Sun Yuanlin couldn't help but frown and responded firmly, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. Regarding disputes between foreigners, our Tiandihui has always adhered to the principle of neutrality and will never easily get involved in the grievances between foreigners. So you don't have to waste your words on this matter."
Lu Chen frowned and stared at Sun Yuanlin with a puzzled look on his face. He couldn't help but ask, "Why? This is obviously a great opportunity! They are fighting hard right now. Isn't this a great opportunity for the Tiandihui to grab territory?"
Hearing this, Sun Yuanlin looked at Lu Chen as if he were a fool, with undisguised contempt on his face. He sneered and said to Lu Chen:
"Lu Chen, Lu Chen, you have been in New York for so long, but you can't even see this situation clearly? Those foreigners have always been deeply hostile to us! If we can expand our sphere of influence, how can we stay in this small place of Chinatown with the people, guns and ammunition we have here? Look at the red door again. Although they have stationed people in major cities in the United States, in the end, aren't they still forced to hide in this small Chinatown like me!
Do you think they don't want to expand their territory? They are just forced by those foreigners! So, we, the Tiandihui, must not get involved in the conflicts between those foreigners. Because even if we want to participate, they will not allow us to intervene! "
Lu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said solemnly: "President Sun, please believe me. This incident is very different from the past. I can assure you that once you participate in it, you will definitely not suffer targeted attacks from those foreigners."
Hearing this, Sun Yuanlin frowned and asked suspiciously, "You keep saying that we won't be targeted, but who can guarantee that? Will those foreigners obey your orders?"
Facing Sun Yuanlin's undisguised doubts, Lu Chen took a deep breath and patiently explained: "President Sun, you can relax. In fact, the fierce offensive launched by California 18th Street against the Blood Gang this time was fully supported and promoted by me behind the scenes. So, if you are willing to join this action on my behalf at this moment, they will definitely not dare to have any objections."
After hearing this, Sun Yuanlin's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. He stared at Lu Chen in a daze, his lips trembling as he said:
"This... How is this possible! California 18th Street has always looked down on us Chinese. How could they possibly reach a cooperative relationship with a Chinese like you? It's simply unbelievable!"
Facing Sun Yuanlin's face full of disbelief, as if he had seen an alien, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel a trace of contempt and disdain. What do you mean by impossible? It's really strange! He thought to himself, if he told Sun Yuanlin the truth - it was Kro who took the initiative to seek cooperation with him, I wonder if President Sun would be shocked and even start to doubt his entire life?
Lu Chen said softly without changing his expression or heartbeat: "President Sun, please don't be suspicious. Every word I said is absolutely true! If you have doubts about what I said, it doesn't matter. I can call Kero right now and ask him to confirm it to you in person, so that you can completely dispel those unfounded suspicions." After that, Lu Chen pretended to call Kero.
Hearing the name "Kro" come out so easily from Lu Chen's mouth, Sun Yuanlin first subconsciously murmured in a low voice: "Kro..." Then, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Lu Chen with a look full of astonishment, as if he wanted to see through him. At this moment, Sun Yuanlin's heart had already set off a storm, because he never thought that the seemingly ordinary Lu Chen in front of him would actually know Kro, and from his tone, it seemed that the relationship between the two was quite close. Could it be that the rumored gang of tough guys on California 18th Street had really reached a cooperation agreement with Lu Chen? When thinking of this, Sun Yuanlin felt his head buzzing, and for a moment he didn't know how to deal with this sudden situation.
