Chapter 2213 - 1707: Six Major Chinese Clans

First update, seeking subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~~...

As for how Lin Qian and Xu Jiao are instructing Wen Yi, Qin Fang is in no mood to care...

He's just like this, he's incredibly ruthless when dealing with others, but when it comes to his own people, he's very protective... His principle is, we don't bully others, but if anyone dares to bully us, we won't be polite.

Just like the situation today, even though he knows Chen Lin's identity is not simple, Qin Fang still gave him a brutal beating.

The women quickly got along, chatting away noisily, while Qin Fang sat on the side, listening carefully, sipping his drink slowly... Only he knows whether he was truly listening or not.

Chu Yunxuan understands Qin Fang the best. Seeing Qin Fang like this, she knows he's pondering something, so she quietly moved closer and whispered in Qin Fang's ear, "Who exactly is Chen Lin from earlier..."

Chu Yunxuan has been in Jiangzhou for quite a while and knows many powerful figures, but she's not familiar with this seemingly significant Chen Lin... Though among the defeated frivolous youngsters Qin Fang beat, there were one or two she might have seen before, but not closely acquainted.

"Someone from the Chen Family, one of the Six Major Chinese Families in America!"

With Chu Yunxuan, Qin Fang had no need to hide anything, so he simply responded.

"Gasp~~~"

Unexpectedly, Chu Yunxuan had heard of them and couldn't help but gasp, her expression turning somewhat shocked, which surprised Qin Fang slightly.

"You've heard of them?"

"Heard of... even knew two!"

Chu Yunxuan nodded and said, "Back in school days, there were two classmates from the Liang and Li Families of those Six Major Families... We were on good terms, even had some contact in recent years!"

Hearing this, Qin Fang also nodded.

The Six Major Chinese Families in America are technically the Six Major Chinese Families in North America... Among them, five families are based in America, while one family's roots are mainly in Maple Country.

These Six Major Families are Jiang, Song, Kong, Chen, Liang, Li...

The first four families should be familiar to the Chinese people, as they resemble the Four Major Families of the Republic of China era... However, in reality, they have no relation at all, just a coincidence.

These Six Major Families went to America during the late Qing dynasty and took over a hundred years to slowly develop... This process couldn't possibly be entirely clean, filled with countless bloodshed and slaughter.

"Actually, these Six Major Families are the six elders of the Green Gang..."

However, Chu Yunxuan knew even more unexpected details than Qin Fang anticipated, even things Qin Fang hadn't thought of, like the true origin of these Six Major Families.

Green Gang of America...

Upon hearing this, Qin Fang understood.

After meeting Chen Lin and others, Qin Fang and Qiao Zhenfei left with unpleasant expressions. Qin Fang had asked about their origins, and Qiao Zhenfei's expression was odd, only saying these people were from the Six Major Chinese Families in America, unaware of their hidden identities.

The Green Gang is a powerful gang established for over a hundred years, yet never suffering decline, only growing stronger.

However, back then, the main power of the Green Gang was domestic, but later it went overseas, leading to a weakened domestic presence...

The Green Gang has rooted in North America, and its power is formidable, so much so that even the Mafia from America's mainland and the powerful Yamaguchi Group can't claim to suppress the Green Gang... It's said this is the result of the Green Gang's intentional restraint.

The Green Gang seems like a loose gang alliance, but internally it's very tightly structured, especially after a century of development, dividing into several power factions in balance, leading to the formation of the Six Major Chinese Families in North America.

The Qing Gang Headquarters manages the power of various branch halls, but the power at headquarters isn't in the hands of the nominal Gang Leader but in the hands of the six elders... The Gang Leader is merely a puppet pushed by the six elders.

This puppet, though having considerable power and a private force, can only survive by depending on the style of the six elders, or... These six elders wouldn't mind changing to another Gang Leader.

Now knowing that these Six Major Chinese Families are the forces of the six elders of the Green Gang, Qin Fang naturally understands... These families have massive industries in North America and even Europe, and these are legitimate enterprises, not counted as part of the Green Gang's assets.

Adding these hidden assets, the Green Gang's strength is terrifyingly extreme...

In comparison, although Boss Kui controls the Green Gang's power in Dragon Country, in terms of financial resources and power, it's far inferior to any family there... Despite having held power for twenty years, he ended with such a tragic fate.

Chen Lin and others have extraordinary origins, the Green Gang's power is strong, and they have unclear connections with the upper echelons... If not for this, Boss Kui couldn't have held power in Jiangzhou for twenty years without being overthrown.

If it weren't for this, Chen Lin and others couldn't be so arrogant and even ignore Qiao Zhenfei's face. This is where their deep foundation lies.

Of course, with that said, Qin Fang somewhat understood how Chen Lin and others managed to have so many messy masters as bodyguards around them... They were probably masters recruited from around the world by The Green Gang.

"Could it be... this is a sign that The Green Gang is going to return to the Dragon Country?"

Understanding the true origins of Chen Lin and others, Qin Fang couldn't help but raise such a doubt in his heart.

Boss Kui is dead, and though the Jiangzhou Qing Gang has not completely fallen, its power is much weaker than before. Several gangs quickly took over the territories of the Qing Gang, suppressing them quite severely... Even though they weren't destroyed, their survival certainly became extremely difficult.

This kind of situation is clearly not something the Qing Gang Headquarters would want to see, sending a few people to reclaim the lost territories is a very common thing...

But...

"It doesn't seem to be that simple!"

As Qin Fang delved a bit deeper, he felt that things couldn't be that simple.

If it were just about reclaiming the Qing Gang's power, anyone could be sent over, which would not be difficult given the foundation of the Qing Gang... However, this time, even the direct descendants of the Six Major Families were sent over, which is a bit of an issue.

Although Dragon Country is the birthplace of the Qing Gang, over the years they never really considered it important.

Boss Kui was sent over more than twenty years ago, and he initially had a considerable chance to become a major power holder. Being sent to Dragon Country was like being exiled. Even though he managed, after all his efforts over the years, to stabilize the Qing Gang's position, he was never really valued by the headquarters.

If it weren't so, when Boss Kui was seriously threatened and his life was in danger, Uncle Fu wouldn't have had to guard him alone without any response from the headquarters... They simply didn't want to waste manpower here.

The Jiangzhou Qing Gang was so powerful back then, yet the headquarters didn't care, let alone now...

Moreover, Qin Fang had interacted with Chen Lin and others.

Even though they are Chinese, living in America for many years, they seem to have lost any sense of belonging to Dragon Country, whether in mentality or mindset... They're like a bunch of fake foreigners, how could they care about the Jiangzhou Qing Gang's power?

But they indeed came to Jiangzhou, and this time, all the people from the Six Major Families came, which is very questionable...

"This really needs to be investigated..."

If the Qing Gang just wanted to reclaim control, Qin Fang wouldn't care...

Boss Kui's death, even though Qin Fang had a tiny bit of involvement, wasn't caused by him, so even if the Qing Gang came to investigate the matter, Qin Fang wouldn't mind.

However, with Chen Lin and others coming to Jiangzhou together, and their maneuvering being so secretive, it made Qin Fang quite wary...

Especially since these people did not come for the Qing Gang, they must have another purpose.

"What are you thinking about?"

Seeing Qin Fang suddenly in a daze, Chu Yunxuan curiously asked.

"Nothing, just suddenly thought of something..."

Qin Fang waved his hand, dismissively saying.

But as he turned back, it seemed like something crossed his mind, so he immediately asked, "By the way, do you know what the usual relationship between these Six Major Families is like?"

"The usual relationship..."

Chu Yunxuan frowned, recollecting past memories, "It seems I've heard from my two classmates that the Six Major Families intermarry with each other, they have marriage ties... So the relationship should be quite close."

Intermarriage among aristocratic families is a very common occurrence, not only overseas but also in the country... For example, Qiao Zhenfei married a woman from a big family as his wife.

The Six Major Families control The Green Gang, and such connections among them can maintain such rule well... Otherwise, their power would be hard to sustain.

"Right, I remember! There were two men who once fought fiercely over a classmate of mine, and those two seemed to be from the Six Major Families... It is said that they even each rallied quite a few people, it seems everyone from the Six Major Families got involved, and it almost resulted in someone's death! Although this matter was suppressed, I heard about it from that classmate... But after that incident, she was grounded and quickly married!"

Chu Yunxuan seemed to recall something else and immediately shared it with Qin Fang.

"Oh, so the Six Major Families aren't as monolithic as they seem!"

Although this was just a small detail, it allowed Qin Fang to glean a hint of insight, "It seems that if there's an opportunity, I need to communicate more with these people..." (To be continued.
