Chapter 185: Too Exciting

Jiang Xue didn’t expect Lin Jian to go straight to robbing the moment he arrived in San Francisco!

Naturally, the Sparrow Hall he robbed was one of the underground businesses controlled by Ye Yuanhang.

Ye Yuanhang was not only a member of the Mafia but also a big shot in the Chinese circle and the leader of the Chinese Association. He had many other impressive titles, such as President of the Chinese Labor Union, President of the Chinese Fellowship, President of the Chinese Advancement Association, and so on.

Beneath his numerous halos and titles, he didn’t just manage the Ye Family’s massive Recovery Group—he was also involved in illegal activities. Casinos were only one of them. He controlled San Francisco’s largest brothel business, keeping hundreds, if not thousands, of fallen women from various countries under his thumb. He even maintained close ties with Mexican drug cartels.

Jiang Xue had previously pulled some strings to investigate Ye Yuanhang’s background, but she only managed to scratch the surface. The documents she gave Lin Jian only listed a few casinos, bars, and Chinese firms. So, she was completely unaware of the true core of his operations.

At the same time, she began to worry about Lin Jian. He had caused such a huge commotion, and he wasn’t a local. How could he possibly escape the Chinese Association’s manhunt?

Thinking of this, she immediately opened WeChat and quickly typed a message to Lin Jian: "I have an apartment in Palo Alto City Center, near Stanford University City in southern San Francisco. The exact location is..."

As a friend, Little Wild Cat was truly impeccable, directly giving Lin Jian the address of a property she owned locally. After sending the message, she slumped onto the sofa, drained, wondering how Lin Jian would spend the night. Where would he go?

However, at this very moment, what Jiang Xue didn’t know was that Lin Jian and his two companions had no intention of hiding at all. Instead, the trio swaggered right into a Chinese restaurant.

Not only did this Chinese restaurant serve specialty dishes from the Continent, but they surprisingly also offered dumplings as a staple! So, Lin Jian ordered ten plates of dumplings along with a whole table full of dishes!

The most amusing part was that after ordering, he pulled a stack of cash from Sha Shun’s backpack and tossed it to the Chinese waiter. One stack was ten thousand US Dollars. And ten thousand US Dollars was a substantial amount even in Migu Country. The Chinese waiter was completely dumbfounded.

Money made things easy. In less than half an hour, the ten plates of dumplings were served one after another.

Lin Jian ate a plate of three-delicacy dumplings, Dachun ate another plate, and the remaining eight plates all went to Sha Shun.

After they finished eating, Lin Jian and Dachun started chatting. "Someone will probably come looking for us in a bit. Try your best to hide behind Shunzi and me. If a fight breaks out, just drop to the floor.

"Also, Shunzi, try not to kill anyone unless absolutely necessary."

Sha Shun blew on a piping-hot dumpling as he ate. "Okay."

Lin Jian rubbed his head. The real reason he came to San Francisco this time was to take Ye Ziqiu away. Robbing and burning the casino was his way of declaring war on Ye Yuanhang. He was using this method to tell Ye Yuanhang that the little security guard who liked Ye Ziqiu was here. If Ye Yuanhang dared to marry her off to someone else, he would make every bone in his body ache.

SCREECH!

SCREECH!

Right then, over a dozen cars suddenly sped up outside the restaurant, parking haphazardly by the entrance. Then, just like the Black Society making an entrance in a movie, male thugs dressed in suits and ties jumped out of all the vehicles. As they gathered together, their overwhelming presence immediately forced all the passersby to step aside.

A full thirty-odd men, led by a man in a beige checkered suit, marched into the restaurant in unison and headed straight for Lin Jian’s table!

Sha Shun was still eating, not even bothering to look up.

Dachun gulped. This was way too thrilling... Compared to this Black Society, his dad was just a country bumpkin coming into the city! Just look at them—their uniforms were perfectly identical, openly declaring to everyone that they were the Black Society, and they didn’t care who knew it!

At this moment, Lin Jian smiled at Dachun and said, "You’ve known Xu Fengbin since you were kids. Didn’t you learn a few moves from him?"

"I... I’ll learn as soon as we get back! I’ll definitely learn!" The guy was sweating profusely, quickly lowering his head, too afraid to look at the thirty-plus Black Society members approaching them!

Of the more than thirty men, ninety percent were Chinese, but there were also three or four foreign men.

Led by the man in the beige checkered suit, the group surrounded Lin Jian’s trio. The checkered suit man then pulled up a chair, sat down in front of them, and blew a smoke ring.

"Nanyue boys?" the man in the beige checkered suit asked coolly.

Lin Jian smiled faintly. It seemed the Chinese and the Nanyue people over here still didn’t get along.

"No, I’m a Mainlander!" Lin Jian said playfully. "It goes like this. Not long ago, your boss, Mr. Ye Yuanhang, threatened me, saying that if I continued to pester Miss Ye Ziqiu, I would face some unnecessary trouble."

With a disdainful smirk, he added, "I’m now returning those exact words to him. Which is... if he insists on having his way and marries off the woman I like to someone else, then he will also face some unnecessary trouble."
