Chapter 656 I Can’t Let You Work in vain

At that moment, the soldiers on the hidden front did not need to divide the work. Some of them took the initiative to rush forward to the location where the gangsters were just now, and some went out and squatted beside the corpse to pick up the gun. When the person in charge of picking up the gun picked up the Thompson and was about to look up to see the enemy’s position…

In the empty courtyard, there was no trace of the other person anymore!

That’s the gang!
The gangsters who come to San Francisco to make a living are not devils, nor are they soldiers.

How could they not be afraid when three of them were killed in the blink of an eye and they didn’t even know where the other side was hiding or how many there were?

Let alone them, what about the blacks who lived by looting and smashing in Xu Chaoyang’s era? When these blacks clashed with the Koreans, the Koreans held their own areas with guns. With unity, they couldn’t even do anything to the blacks, so what could these ordinary people do?

Running became the safest option.

The people from Xieshengtang ran away.

The entrance of Zhigong Hall was still filled with dust from the cars leaving.

Xiaoduo, who was kneeling at the door with a gun in his hand, felt scared at this moment. If these people didn’t run away, if they just stood there with guns and fought back, his body would be full of bullet holes by now, right?
However, he did not say these words. The big beads of sweat on his forehead seemed to prove everything, and he wiped them away with his sleeves.

“Team One, alert!”

“The rest of you, go into the offering hall and guard the money. No one is allowed to sleep tonight. Wait for Situ to come.”

They should move, but the problem is, where can they move to in this unfamiliar place?
They could only wait here, knowing full well the danger – and wait.

The door of Zhigong Hall was closed again, and the people on the street dared to look outside through the glass at this time. However, no household in the whole street dared to light a light. Under the sudden and violent gunfire, the night fell into calm very casually, as if nothing had happened.

Until Situ’s car drove over from afar and the convoy of more than a dozen cars stopped in front of the Zhigong Hall, no policeman passed by the street in front of the Zhigong Hall in San Francisco.

This was the public security in San Francisco at that time. In those days, not to mention the areas where Chinese people gathered, there were no police patrolling at night even in the areas where black people and Italians gathered. If you wanted to wait for a policeman with a badge on his waist to come patrolling, you could only wait until the sun rose.

In this situation, how can ordinary people not succumb to the tyranny of the gangs?

“Xiaoduo!”

“Are you guys okay?”

Situ got out of the car and rushed into his own hall with a large number of Zhigongtang people. The guns they were holding were of various kinds, as if they were the sheriffs who maintained order.

At this time, Xiaoduo walked out of the hall and threw the Thompson in his hand over: “Can we get a batch of this when we go back? This thing is very useful.”

Situ caught the gun thrown by the other party and looked at the bodies on the ground. He couldn’t understand how these unarmed people survived under the gunpoint, and he couldn’t understand how they could drive the other party away…

I asked presumptuously: “Xiaoduo, please stay. I will help you get the money and the guns and let them take them back. You stay here. It will be convenient for the two sides to communicate.”

Such people are too rare for him!
But Xiaoduo looked at him and smiled.

“We can talk about money.”

When Situ said this, Xiaoduo finally opened his mouth: “We all came here for money, but we don’t live for money.”

The moment these words were spoken, Situ saw with his own eyes the other party’s pride. If he asked even one more question at this point, it would be impolite.

The person who entered the offering hall of Zhigong Hall came out at this time and said to Situ: “Old man, it was Xiesheng Hall who did it.”

Situ frowned and fell into deep thought…

“What is the problem?”

Situ thought about it again and again before saying, “The Hongmen has different branches. The Anliang Branch originated from their sheriff named Li. In the fight with the Xiesheng Branch, they were the first to use the power of the police, and that’s how they established themselves in New York.”

“In that fight, both Anliang Hall and Xiesheng Hall were hurt. In the end, Anliang Hall won, which led to the current situation where Zhigong Hall can suppress them… But since then, Xiesheng Hall has become bad. They learned to give money to the police station and set off fire. They rely on selling information about our group of people to be protected by the police.” “Although I don’t know why they suddenly attacked my Zhigong Hall, but after this failure, those bastards will definitely use the same trick again.”

“Xiaoduo, you may have to leave later, at least until I settle this matter.”

“Don’t worry, I will settle this matter as soon as possible. Whether it means bowing your head or paying money, or even admitting defeat, I will let you take the money back as soon as possible. For the sake of the overall situation, I, Situ, can still do it.”

Of course Xiaoduo knew what he was thinking, he knew it too well!

After working on the covert front for so many years, he has become skilled at guessing people’s minds.

“Need not.”

Xiaoduo smiled. At this moment, he had to compromise as Situ said. Even though the other party did not make any demands, time did not allow them to stay.

“Kill them. I’ll do the work and you guys will be responsible for providing the weapons.”

This is San Francisco, not China!
They have no mental burden in doing anything here, otherwise, where would so many provincial and Hong Kong flag soldiers come from in the future?

Situ said in surprise: “That’s not what I meant… Besides, you don’t understand the situation here…”

Xiao Duo put his hand on Situ’s arm and whispered, “We can help if we can. Commander Xu Chaoyang told us before we came that we can’t let you, Situ, work in vain.”

Xu Chaoyang…

Yuan Fuzhen’s backer, Yuan Keqin’s brother-in-law, and Li Wanchao’s master!
That man who dominated the domestic battlefield…

“He knows me too?” This was something Situ had never expected.

“He also knows about Zhigongtang.”

Green Gang!

It can only be the Qing Gang. After all, it was the Qing Gang who contacted me. Otherwise, how would this Xu Chaoyang… uh… Chief, know that I am a gangster?
Situ Buzheng stopped fighting and turned around to ask, “What weapons do you need?”

“Have you got a rifle? I’m used to it.”

“The Liao 13-style rifle is fine, the Zhongzheng rifle is fine, the Type rifle is fine…”

Situ was so angry that he smacked his teeth. Where can he find that thing for you?

These are two completely different worlds!

“Well, see if you can get used to this.”

Situ looked back and brought over a Springfield rifle. This was a sawed-off Springfield. Its shooting range was certainly not as good as the original one, but it was easy to carry.

“Are there any longer ones?”

Xiaoduo took the Springfield, but felt awkward holding it. After it was sawed shorter, he didn’t know whether he should hold it upright or hold it with one hand. He felt totally uneasy holding it in his hand.

But the only weapons used by the gangs, besides shotguns and Chicago typewriters, are these. Most of them use pistols, revolvers, etc…

“How about you try this?”

Situ handed over a rifle that he had just acquired from the military. This rifle had a feature that all soldiers knew: it was designed to pinch fingers. It also had a very interesting nickname here…

　Let me tell you an interesting thing. The former site of On Leung Tong in Chinatown is now a historical site, hahahahahahaha…
