Suddenly, Jiang Cheng saw that the Tianxia Hui's speedboat had left. Not long after, another seven or eight speedboats appeared on the surface of the sea. Five of them stopped, while the rest continued to chase after them. Although he could only see the bottom of the boats, he could still make a simple judgment based on the color of the boats.
(They are the brothers of the Lung Hing Society!) Jiang Cheng immediately understood. When the Tianxia Hui's men saw the Lung Hing Society's men chasing after them, they did not dare to stay any longer. They abandoned the others and fled.
The five speedboats of the Lung Hing Society had just stopped when more than ten people jumped out of the speedboats into the sea. They seemed to be looking for Mino, who had fallen into the water, and Jiang Cheng, who had jumped into the sea to save her.
Jiang Cheng carried Mino and swam towards the center of the five speedboats. With a splash, he poked his head out of the water.
When the brothers of the Lung Hing Society saw Jiang Cheng and Mino coming out of the sea, they all shouted in surprise, "Ah! It's Cheng Ge! Cheng Ge is coming out from here! He even brought Sister Mino with him … That's great! Cheng Ge is fine! " The men shouted in joy as they pulled Jiang Cheng and Mino out of the sea.
Jiang Cheng had already cut the rope that tied Mino's hands behind her back. He carried her to the side of the boat. The people on the boat immediately grabbed Mino's hands and pulled her up. Meanwhile, Jiang Cheng grabbed the side of the boat and flipped himself up.
Jiang Cheng took off his clothes and wrung them dry. Jiang Cheng then helped Mino dry her fiery red dress. He carried her and asked the other brothers, "The others have gone to chase after the Tianxia Hui's men. Where are they now?"
"Yes, Cheng Ge! They're approaching the island in front of us. I believe they'll be able to capture them, "a member of the Lung Hing Society replied.
"Ahem …" Mino coughed lightly in Jiang Cheng's arms and said anxiously, "Okay! The necklace! They took the necklace! "
Jiang Cheng's expression changed, and he quickly asked, "Mino, tell me clearly, where is the sapphire necklace I gave you that day? Is it in the hands of the group of people who are being chased? "
Mino nodded and then shook her head. "Yes, that necklace! But it's not in the hands of that group of people in front. It was taken away by that Chinese gang. I heard that they're going to send it to England's World Chamber of Commerce! "
"Tianyun Gang, British World Chamber of Commerce …" Jiang Cheng murmured these two words softly. What was the use of the Pallade Family's internal medal, Tianxia Hui? It couldn't be sent to the World Auction House to be auctioned right? If that was the case, it would be terrible! Once this thing was auctioned, Barter would know that he had lost it. Once the reason was traced, everything would be exposed, and it might infuriate him.
Fortunately, the necklace wasn't in the hands of Tianxia Hui yet. It was in the hands of the Tianyun Gang. Jiang Cheng still remembered what Johansson reported to him not long ago. The woman he brought back to the Lung Hing Society from Le Havre Port was called Chen Yiting. After investigation, she was the daughter of the leader of the Tianyun Gang, Chen Wei. Maybe he could exchange a hostage to get the necklace.
"Contact the brothers in front and tell them to stop chasing. We're going back immediately!" Jiang Cheng said to the people around him.
Mino had been safely rescued, and the group of people in front didn't have the sapphire necklace and medal, so there was no point in continuing to chase. It was better to return as soon as possible to avoid encountering the Tianxia Hui's reinforcements. Moreover, they had just dealt with the Martin Gang, and there were still a lot of things to sort out. They didn't have time to waste here.
"Okay, I'll contact the brothers in front and tell them to return immediately." A brother of the Lung Hing Society replied.
About five minutes later, five speedboats in front of them came over. After meeting up with Jiang Cheng and the others, they headed back to Xihar Port in the 19th District.
On the way back, Jiang Cheng and the others encountered two yachts that were damaged because of the collision with the oil tanker. There were a dozen Lung Hing Society brothers on the yachts, so they tied the two yachts with ropes and towed them back.
After driving for a while, they finally arrived at Xihar Port. To Jiang Cheng's surprise, Zhuge Liuyun was waiting at the port with many Lung Hing Society brothers, looking anxious.
As soon as Jiang Cheng and the others went ashore, Zhuge Liuyun came up to them. Looking at Mino, who was next to Jiang Cheng, he said with a smile, "Cheng Ge, that's great. Finally, Mino's sister-in-law is back, but …" He changed the topic and continued, "Let's get out of here quickly. Soon, the Yun Gang will bring people here. We've been forced to retreat once, so there will be more people coming next time!"
Jiang Cheng looked at Zhuge Liuyun in surprise. It seemed that Zhuge Liuyun had come for this matter, to prevent him and the other Lung Hing Society brothers from being ambushed by the Tianyun Gang at the Xihar Port. Jiang Cheng nodded and agreed, "Okay, we'll leave now." Then he turned around and shouted to the brothers behind him, "Leave the rental and repair fees for these boats, and give us more thank-you money."
After the arrangements were made, Jiang Cheng left with the brothers from the Lung Hing Society, but after a few steps, he stopped and asked Zhuge Liuyun, "Is there any way to contact the leader of the Tianyun Gang?"
Zhuge Liuyun didn't know what Jiang Cheng wanted to do, but he nodded without thinking. "Yes!"
"That's good!" Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Then find someone to send a message to the leader of the Tianyun Gang. If he dares to give the sapphire necklace to Tianxia Hui, wait to collect his daughter's corpse!"
"Okay, I'll do it now!" Zhuge Liuyun nodded in understanding. He raised his hand and waved to the person next to him, whispered a few words in the person's ear, and then waved his hand to ask him to hurry up and do it.
The person quickly left, his footsteps hurried.
Jiang Cheng watched the person leave. This person was Chinese, and he was a new face. He was very sure that he had never seen this person before. Was he a brother who had recently joined the Lung Hing Society?
It seemed that Zhuge Liuyun had guessed what Jiang Cheng was thinking. He explained, "He is a member of the Crocodile Gang, and is currently a brother of our Lung Hing Society. He acts as a bridge to communicate with Crocodile quickly."
Jiang Cheng nodded and walked to the car in the distance. He took Mino's hand and quickly got in the car. Then the car started and drove to the 17th district. Zhuge Liuyun followed closely behind Jiang Cheng. He still had many things to report to Jiang Cheng, such as the territory of the Martin Gang that they had just conquered. Although the Martin Gang had collapsed, it was still a little difficult to completely conquer that land.
Sitting in the car, Jiang Cheng hugged Mino. Although Mino's thin red dress had already dried due to the sea breeze, her body was cold. She couldn't help but sneeze from time to time, which made Jiang Cheng feel sorry for her. He hugged her and wanted to give her some warmth.
"I'm sorry … Cheng … It's all my fault … I lost the thing you just gave me …" Mino lay in Jiang Cheng's arms and said with some self-blame. She seemed to be in a very bad mood.
Jiang Cheng stroked her hair and gently pinched her nose. He smiled and said, "Don't be silly. It's not your fault. To be honest, it's all my fault for not protecting you well and letting those people take you away. Fortunately, you are fine now. Otherwise, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life."
What Jiang Cheng said was from the bottom of his heart. Ever since Mino was kidnapped, his heart was full of guilt, and he was very worried that she would have an accident. Now, Mino was finally returned safely. Except for some bruises on her wrists that had not disappeared, there were no other injuries, which really made him feel relieved.
"Cheng!" Mino was moved and gently hugged Jiang Cheng's waist.
Jiang Cheng patted her back to comfort her. He smiled and looked at Zhuge Liuyun who was beside him. Just now, there were a few times when he wanted to say something but stopped himself. It was as if he had something urgent to say to him.
"Zhuge, if you have something to say, just say it. Did something happen to the Martin Gang again?" Jiang Cheng looked at him and asked doubtfully.
Zhuge Liuyun smiled bitterly and shook his head. He said, "That's not it. But the Arab Gang is in trouble. We just defeated the Martin Gang and quickly occupied a lot of territory. However, one-third of the territory has fallen into the hands of the Arab Gang, and that's not all."
Jiang Cheng frowned. "Why? Following our Lung Hing Society and eating a big bargain, are you still not satisfied? "
"It's more than dissatisfied!" Zhuge Liuyun's smile was a little bitter. "Our Dragonrise Guild has just taken over our territory, and our foundation is still unstable. The Arab gangs will take this opportunity to force us to give up half of our territory to them. Otherwise, they will take it by force!"
"Hehe!" Jiang Cheng was so angry that he laughed. "They are really ambitious. This Arab Gang has been fighting with the Martin Gang for years, but they haven't been able to take over the Martin Gang's territory. Now they think that our Lung Hing Society is a pushover?"
"That's a little interesting." Zhuge Liuyun smiled bitterly. "But they aren't completely bragging. The Arab Gang is stronger than the Red Gloves. Although the number of people is about the same, they seem to have special channels. They can often get a lot of weapons from the Middle East, such as guns, grenades, explosives, and so on."
Jiang Cheng nodded. He had heard rumors about this.
It was said that if it weren't for the fear of the French police's interference, the Arab Gang had the ability to organize a local armed force that was no weaker than the Middle Eastern army. However, how could a country allow a local armed force that it couldn't control within its territory? Naturally, it tried to suppress them, but they didn't dare go too far. If it was too extreme, the Arab Gang might plan a terrorist attack. But because of this, the Arab Gang didn't dare go too far.
Vaguely, it seemed that they had reached some kind of agreement with the French police.
"Even so, does our Lung Hing Society have to give in to them? They are too naive! Now, there are more than 1,000 members of the Lung Hing Society, including the black people who have just surrendered. With guns and ammunition, their strength isn't any weaker than the Arab Gang. Moreover, there are so many people who need to eat. Without this territory, how are we going to feed them? "Jiang Cheng shook his head. This condition violated his principles, so he couldn't agree to it.
Zhuge Liuyun lowered his head in silence. After a while, he raised his head and said, "That's true, but those black people have just surrendered. I'm afraid that if we really fight, they will all become deserters. If we don't reorganize them, we won't be able to use them."
"Of course I know that, but Zhuge, don't forget that Tagore and Johnson are the spiritual leaders of these black people. They can also order those black people around. If the Arab Gang wants to take over the Lung Hing Society's territory, aren't they afraid of breaking their teeth?" Jiang Cheng snorted coldly.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Cheng continued, "Zhuge, go and contact the leader of the Arab Gang in the 18th district. Think of a way. Delay as much as you can. Time is on our side. If they want us to hand over our territory, pretend to agree and negotiate with them first. After a week, when the Lung Hing Society has reorganized itself, they can fight if they want!"
