Luo Wenyuan asked the old man to find two hemp ropes and tied the two robbers, one tall and one short, like dumplings, to a shelf and waited for the police to arrive. Qingshan took the opportunity to release their acupuncture points to avoid the police noticing any abnormality and having to explain themselves.
Johnson seemed terrified. From the moment his acupuncture points were pressed to the moment he was tied up, he didn't utter a word. He just trembled all over and didn't dare to look at Qingshan. But the shorter man kept cursing and making pale threats like "If you don't let them go, I'll kill you all." In the end, the old man stuffed a rag in his mouth.
Qingshan was very curious. Luo Wenyuan had clearly not entered the store, so how could he know so much about what happened in the store and even guess the owner's fear of revenge?
"Wen Yuan, how did you come up with the idea of asking the president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce for help?"
Luo Wenyuan handed the newly bought watch to Qingshan and asked her to put it in her bag (space). He took the opportunity to hold Qingshan's hand and said:
"Qilin has informants all over the world. I remember one of them saying there's a Big Foot Gang in Chinatown in Angeles City that specializes in robbing and extorting Chinese businesses. Some speculate that the Big Foot Gang is in cahoots with the police and receives inside information, which is why they're able to escape before the police arrive, and rarely get caught. Even if a gang member is accidentally caught, it doesn't matter. The Big Foot Gang's leader has hired a very capable team of lawyers who always find legal loopholes and use various excuses to allow gang members to escape justice. I just saw the expressions of the elderly couple outside, and I suspect they're probably afraid of retaliation from the Big Foot Gang later. If we want them to stand up and identify the gang thugs, we need to find a powerful figure who can handle this matter to help. President Lu has connections with leaders in the police and media, and he's the head of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. He has sufficient social influence, making him the best candidate."
Upper-class Chinese, such as the Tong family and Chairman Lu Dequn, who immigrated earlier or are second-generation immigrants, have already achieved high levels of success and social status. Naturally, they hold greater social influence than ordinary Chinese immigrants like the supermarket couple, and can even be said to control the media. With their help, the long-standing robbery and extortion of Chinese businesses by the Chinatown Big Foot Gang has received sufficient attention. Even under pressure from public opinion, the police have been forced to thoroughly investigate such cases, even assigning officers specifically to ensure the safety of the elderly couple.
"Wen Yuan, how do you know the president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce?"
Before Luo Wenyuan could answer, Tong Nina spoke quickly and proudly, revealing the answer to the mystery: "My mom used to be the president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, but later her health failed, so she gave it to Uncle Lu!"
No wonder Luo Wenyuan was able to recruit the president of the Chamber of Commerce with just one phone call. It turns out that he is Luo Shaolan’s successor!
As they were talking, sirens blared outside. Two police cars with red and blue lights flashing stopped outside the store. Several burly policemen came in and escorted the two thugs away. The smaller one shouted as he walked, "That Chinese woman is a witch. She knows sorcery. Don't let her fool you! Get these pagans out of the US! Go to hell, you 'stainable pigs!'"
The police officer who was holding the smaller man hostage was a tall black man. He seemed very angry when he heard his arrogant remarks. He grabbed the smaller man's arm and pushed him hard, then sarcastically said to him, "Shut your stinking mouth! Save these words for your fellow inmates in jail, idiot!"
After recording the confession and saying goodbye to Lu Dequn who came hurriedly, Qingshan and the other two left Chinatown and went to the next must-see attraction on Tong Nina's travel guide - Venice Beach.
