Chapter 290 - 264: Kitty, Belongs to
Wu Li led Tina out of the factory, and soon after, Liu Zheng followed them in his car.
"Master Wu, Miss Tina, get in," Liu Zheng called from the passenger seat.
Wu Li and Tina got into the backseat; there was also a driver who greeted them briefly before the car started moving.
"Mr. Liu, is everything really alright?" Wu Li asked.
In fact, according to his thoughts, he believed all those spoiled brats inside deserved a lesson, but since it was troubling someone else, Wu Li initially aimed just to target the main culprits. He didn’t expect Liu Zheng to outright dismiss it, saying it was "all small matters."
Liu Zheng smiled, "At first, when you mentioned the other party’s father was in the financial sector, I didn’t think much of it. But after they knew you were associated with Brother Liu, their attitude changed immediately. It shows their father has ties with the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in New York."
Wu Li: "New York Chinese Chamber of Commerce?"
Liu Zheng: "Yes, initially, our Zhiyuan Hall spearheaded the establishment of this chamber, which included local Chinese merchants and overseas investors. The first chairman of the chamber was our Hall Master. After he stepped down, he handed it over to Brother Liu, who became the second chairman. Han Ziguang’s father is probably someone who doesn’t yet qualify to enter the chamber, or he would’ve mentioned that connection straight away. So, Master Wu, you needn’t worry; just wait and see."
Wu Li nodded, realizing that made sense. Hongmen, with its centuries-old history, couldn’t possibly grow internationally purely through force. Li San earned millions of US Dollars in dividends annually, and with Hongmen supporting so many members, where did the money come from? It wasn’t likely from underground boxing alone, an enterprise not fit for public exposure. The leaders surely would have engaged in legitimate business ventures early on.
Overseas Chinese, with their wealth and influence, were not few, and Hongmen aimed to unite them for collective development, magnifying its impact.
With these thoughts, Wu Li no longer worried about tonight’s incident. Han Ziguang’s group, once deprived of their fathers’ capital, would shift from rich heirs to paupers—a psychological plummet that might make them feel life was worse than death.
