Chapter 182 Wuzhou Hongmen

Li Zhenzhen was busy with school, and Zhou Ran also had to go to work at Hongmen. Zhigongtang had a branch in Boston, and he drove there and back every day. Sometimes he even had to take a helicopter to New York, which made him seem even busier than Li Zhenzhen.

Li Zhenzhen was very curious about Zhigongtang. She had heard that Zhigongtang had great influence in the United States, and that it was a gang that even American gangs dared not provoke. Its status among the Chinese was unquestionable. Even US President Roosevelt had been their hired lawyer. Later, the US repeal of the Anti-Chinese Act was also the result of the great efforts of Zhigongtang. It can be said that the Zhigongtang has a very important position in the Chinese American community. They have even established a political party and participated in political life.

She has longed for such a powerful party in her heart. Now that she has the opportunity, she will definitely go to visit it. Zhou Ran is also happy to take her there. He hopes that Li Zhenzhen can understand him in all aspects, so that the barriers between them may no longer exist. Therefore, when Li Zhenzhen proposed to go to the Zhigongtang, he was more active than Li Zhenzhen and took Li Zhenzhen to work that day.

They first drove to Chinatown, where there were modern buildings and three streets. At the intersection outside, there was a two-story green-tiled archway with flying eaves. Li Zhenzhen saw that the front of the archway was inscribed with "天下为公" and the back was inscribed with "礼义廉恥", which looked very grand from a distance.

Seeing that she was staring at the words on the archway, Zhou Ran smiled and said, "This is the words written by Sun Yixian. When he was exiled to the United States, he lived in Zhigongtang."

Li Zhenzhen was even more curious about what he said. When she really saw the entrance of Zhigongtang, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, because this entrance was too inconspicuous. It is located at the end of Chinatown. It is a five-story tube building. On the top of the building hangs a black sign with only five big characters "Hongmen Zhigongtang". Apart from that, there is only a door on the far right of the first floor. Standing outside, it is pitch black and you don't know what's inside.

When Zhou Ran's convoy arrived here, no one came out to greet them. Li Zhenzhen was not afraid to follow him in. They walked into the dark doorway and suddenly saw a bright view inside. It turned out that this was a traditional Chinese hall with a huge altar in the middle. The tablets on it were all the big men of Hongmen from past generations. There were a few couplets hanging in the main hall, and the wall pillars and beams were decorated in red and green, looking like the style of royal architecture in the Qing Dynasty.

There were a few men in black standing guard in the main hall. When they saw them coming, they didn't say anything, just nodded slightly at them, and watched them walk into the elevator.

Zhou Ran took Li Zhenzhen to the second floor, and when he stepped out of the elevator door, he turned back and said to her: "What do you want to see? I will take you to see it later. Come to my office and sit for a while."

Li Zhenzhen curiously followed him into the office area. The first place they passed was a booth area. There were more men and few women. The few who were there were also fierce. When they saw Zhou Ran, they all stood up and respectfully called him "Master". As for Li Zhenzhen who was following behind, they just glanced at her quietly and quickly retracted their gaze.

Li Zhenzhen observed these people and felt that such people were what gang members should look like. However, when she passed an office, she saw through the doors that were not tightly closed that the people sitting inside were all men in suits and leather shoes. They looked like ordinary company leaders, and when they noticed Li Zhenzhen's gaze, they smiled at her, appearing particularly humble and polite.
