Chapter 378 Being Stopped
After reaching a consensus with Lu Chen, Eugene immediately took action. Since Lu Chen required that the travel guide must be detailed, Eugene planned to have most of the employees of the Post participate in this project.
Not only that, the United States has a large land area, and there are dozens of states. The popularity of roads in each state is also different. There are also many routes that are not recorded on the map by the states and cities. He also needs to ask some local people to survey and record the routes. In this way, the manpower investment in this project will definitely not be small. He has to plan and arrange it well.
Eugene was very busy, but Lu Chen did not stay at the Post. After he and Eugene confirmed the matter, they immediately left the Post. He did not dare to stay in Washington for too long, after all, this was the base camp of his enemies. If he was accidentally hit, it would be a big loss.
Although Lu Chen had left Washington as quickly as possible, he was still stopped halfway.
Lu Chen looked at the strangers standing in the middle of the road, who were covered in dust and blocking his car. Lu Chen walked out of the car with a gloomy look and asked them:
"Who are you and why are you blocking my way?"
Among the people who stopped Lu Chen, a man wearing a leather jacket and a big beard walked out and said to Lu Chen with a smile:
"Mr. Lu, please don't leave in a hurry. My eldest brother wants to invite you. Mr. Lu, please come with us."
"Who is your eldest brother? Does he have the method of inviting people by stopping them on the road like you do?"
Lu Chen looked at the bearded middle-aged man and spoke unkindly.
The bearded man smiled and said, "Mr. Lu Chen, I would like to apologize to you for our reckless behavior."
The bearded man bowed to Lu Chen to express his apology. Then he continued:
"Mr. Lu, you are so difficult to invite. If we don't use this method, we won't be able to see you at all. So please forgive me."
Lu Chen looked at the bearded man with some doubts. He originally thought that these people were from Gnandi. He never expected that the bearded man would bow and apologize to him. This made him doubt the identities of these people. He didn't know who they were and why they came to him.
"Who is your boss and why are you looking for me?"
The bearded man said, "Our boss is Crowe from California 18th Street. We are also from California 18th Street."
Hearing this name, Lu Chen became even more confused. California 18th Street? This is Washington, which is very far from California. He asked in confusion:
"Sir, this is Washington, not California. And I live in New York. You came to see the wrong person."
Seeing that Lu Chen had misunderstood, the bearded man immediately explained:
"Mr. Lu, you misunderstood. California 18th Street is the name of our organization. It's not the location. Our activities are not limited to California."
After hearing the other party's explanation, Lu Chen became even more confused. Apart from the Chinese organizations such as the Red Gate, he had never had any contact with any local American gangs. No, he should have had contact with the Blood Gang of Gnandi. But Lu Chen had never even heard of the name of the California 18th Street Gang, let alone had any contact with it. So he didn't know what the other party wanted to do with him.
But no matter what the other party wanted to talk to him about, Lu Chen would definitely not follow the bearded man. If he took over someone else's territory, his own safety would no longer be in his own hands. So he said:
"If you have any problems, you can come to New York to find me. I definitely won't go with you to meet your boss."
Seeing that Lu Chen was unwilling to go with him, the bearded man said with some embarrassment:
"Mr. Lu, please don't make things difficult for us. If we can't invite you, Mr. Lu, we will be punished by the boss when we go back."
As he spoke, the bearded man led his men towards Lu Chen, looking as if he was going to take Lu Chen away by force.
Seeing this, Lu Chen immediately took a few steps back and retreated behind Locke and his group.
When Locke and the others saw the bearded man and the others approaching them with some hostility, they immediately took out the weapons they carried with them.
Seeing Locke and the others take out their guns, the bearded man and the others immediately retreated behind several cars in the middle of the road. Then he shouted at Lu Chen:
"Mr. Lu, don't get me wrong, we really don't mean any harm. Put your guns back and don't let them go off accidentally."
Lu Chen sneered and said:
"You are all planning to take me away by force. You said you have no ill will towards me, but you really think I'm a fool. If you know what's best for you, get out of my way. Otherwise, I will move your car out of the way myself."
As he said that, he took out the small steel cannon that he hadn't used for a long time from the trunk and began to assemble it calmly.
Seeing Lu Chen take out the mortar, the bearded man was really frightened by Lu Chen. He quickly said:
"No, no, no, Mr. Lu, don't be impulsive. We will make way for you immediately."
Having said that, the bearded man immediately called his younger brothers and asked them to move their cars aside and make way for Lu Chen.
Lu Chen couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw these people start to move their cars. He took out the small steel cannon just to scare these people. At such a close distance, his small steel cannon couldn't exert its power at all.
After the bearded man and his men moved the car away, Lu Chen immediately asked Locke to get in the car. Then he asked Locke to start the car and leave.
When the car passed by the bearded man, Lu Chen said to him:
"Go back and tell your boss to come to New York in person if he has anything to discuss. I don't like to go to other people's territory to discuss things."
After Lu Chen finished speaking, Locke immediately stepped on the accelerator and the car quickly drove towards New York.
