Gao Jianfei was somewhat taken aback... This is Uncle Tang?
Is this Uncle Tang, whom Dad arranged to meet him?
He doesn't seem like a good person!
Although Gao Jianfei was unsophisticated, he was definitely not an idiot.
That Brother Cai and his gang were clearly a group of thugs who frequented the train station, specializing in extortion. They were quite influential in the area. However, when they saw Uncle Tang, they were terrified like grandsons... Could Uncle Tang be an ordinary person?
Moreover, Gao Jianfei noticed from the beginning that the dozen or so people Uncle Tang brought were all the same type of people with evil eyes, extremely arrogant, and domineering.
Uncle Tang's bodyguard?
thugs?
In short, Gao Jianfei can already make a direct judgment on one thing... This Uncle Tang, it's too early to say whether he's a good person or a bad person, but he's certainly not an ordinary person!
However... even with so many thoughts and speculations surging up at once, Gao Jianfei could still feel the very real emotions expressed in Tang Bao's embrace.
Tang Bao released Gao Jianfei, then pressed down hard on Gao Jianfei's shoulders with both hands, scrutinizing him closely. "So alike! So alike of Brother Jin when he was young! They're cut from the same mold!"
Suddenly, Gao Jianfei noticed that Tang Bao's eyes were wet!
Tang Bao quickly rubbed his eyes and exclaimed, "Damn! The sandstorm at this train station is really strong, it's gotten sand in my eyes... Uh, by the way, nephew, your Uncle Tang is a rough man and doesn't know how to speak properly, please understand, sigh, I've suffered from my lack of education all my life!"
"Uh...it's nothing, Uncle Tang. I haven't actually studied much." At this moment, Gao Jianfei felt, in a daze, that this Uncle Tang, whom he had just met and who looked rough and fierce, actually had a bit of a cute and friendly quality to him!
"By the way, did your dad teach you anything?" Tang Bao suddenly asked a strange question.
"Huh? Uncle Tang, what did you say? What did my dad teach me?" Gao Jianfei was completely baffled.
"Oh! It's nothing, nothing!" Tang Bao said repeatedly, and deliberately changed the subject, "By the way, what do you plan to do with these scumbags? Just say the word, and I'll take their hands or their feet, no problem! Of course, taking their lives is no problem either! Hahaha!"
At this point, Tang Bao realized he had misspoke and quickly explained, "Nephew, your Uncle Tang is a rough man... uh, just kidding, just kidding. We live in a society governed by law now, how could I intentionally harm them? Anyway, leave this matter to me!"
Pack!
Gao Jianfei knew that Tang Bao was obviously faking it. Judging from Tang Bao's words and actions, Gao Jianfei was certain that he was a gangster! The methods he would use to deal with Brother Cai and the others would definitely be extremely cruel!
However, since Tang Bao was deliberately concealing his identity, albeit clumsily, Gao Jianfei wouldn't expose him. Gao Jianfei chuckled, "Hehe, let Uncle Tang handle this matter."
Tang Bao affectionately put his arm around Gao Jianfei's shoulder and walked towards Cai Ge's group.
Now, Brother Cai and his henchmen were all kneeling on the ground, trembling all over. They wanted to say something, but it was as if their vocal cords had been cut, and they couldn't utter a single word!
Gao Jianfei walked up to one of the henchmen. "Hey, give me back my phone." Just now, this henchman had aggressively snatched Gao Jianfei's phone, and it was currently in his hand.
The henchman was completely terrified, his face turning green, as if he hadn't heard Gao Jianfei's words. Gao Jianfei sighed helplessly, bent down, and took the phone from the henchman's hand.
Then, Gao Jianfei found his suitcase and turned to Tang Bao, saying, "Uncle Tang, let's go."
"Alright! My good nephew, your Uncle Tang will take you out for some fun right away! A welcome-back feast!" Tang Bao grinned, preparing to run off. A subordinate beside him hurriedly asked, "Brother Bao, what do we do with these bastards?"
Tang Bao picked his nose. "I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give them a break. Hmm, I'll just let them slap themselves 50 times on the spot! Damn, I'm getting kinder and kinder!"
After saying that, Tang Bao rushed up and put his arm around Gao Jianfei's shoulder. "Nephew, let me tell you, tonight, we'll go to a hotel for dinner first, then a sauna, then a nightclub to find a few tender young girls, and then you'll have the whole night, haha! How about that? Your Uncle Tang's arrangements are pretty good, right?"
Gao Jianfei was startled. "Uncle Tang, I think... it's not necessary. It's already past 1 a.m., and you still want to go to a hotel for dinner? I think the hotels are already closed."
"No problem! Just pick any hotel in the flower market, no matter what star rating, I'll give them a call right away and they'll arrange everything perfectly!" Tang Bao said, patting his chest.
To be honest, Gao Jianfei had never been to a high-end hotel, never been to a sauna, and never been to a nightclub... He was very unaccustomed to Tang Bao's series of arrangements and had no intention of accepting them.
"Uncle Tang, I'm tired and I just want to rest..." Gao Jianfei said weakly.
Tang Bao patted his head. "Right, I have to take you to see Feilong tomorrow morning. Well, let's not stay out too late, let's just go grab some late-night snacks!"
"Flying Dragon?" Gao Jianfei was taken aback. "A very... very cool name, huh."
Tang Bao put his arm around Gao Jianfei's shoulder and walked out of the train station. "Feilong is definitely cool! Back in the day... uh, let's not talk about that. Anyway, Feilong is now a successful private entrepreneur, a big boss, a prominent figure in G province. Tomorrow I'll take you directly to meet him. Hmm, I'll give you a senior management position. Damn, those are all paid annual salaries, and there's a company car. Nephew, isn't that awesome?"
"Senior management?" Gao Jianfei subconsciously touched his hair. "Really?"
"Anyway, we'll talk about it when we see Feilong tomorrow. Don't worry, Feilong and I are brothers. He never contradicts me. Uncle Tang will handle him for you! Haha!" Tang Bao laughed heartily, looking very happy.
As you exit the train station, a beautiful night view unfolds before you!
The wide and clean four-lane road, the mesmerizing neon lights, and the magnificent buildings standing on both sides of the street.
Although it was already past midnight, the nightlife at the flower market was just beginning, with stylishly dressed men and women strolling and dancing on the streets.
An air of wealth permeated the atmosphere. That decadent, extravagant atmosphere had silently enveloped Gao Jianfei.
Although the street outside the train station is just an ordinary street in the flower market of G Province, only a small part of the whole, Gao Jianfei had a direct comparison in his mind from just this scene... This flower market is at least ten or a hundred times more prosperous than his hometown of ZG City!
Five brand-new cars were parked on the street: four Audi A8s and one Lamborghini.
Tang Bao patted the Lamborghini and said loudly, "Nephew, this is your Uncle Tang's car. You and Uncle Tang will ride in the same car later! Haha! We two uncle and nephew will have a good chat."
Gao Jianfei stared at the five cars, somewhat dumbfounded. He didn't know their exact value, but he was certain they were high-end vehicles, very expensive...
"It seems that being a gangster is a high-end profession, with unlimited potential for wealth!" Gao Jianfei thought to himself.
At this moment, after dealing with Brother Cai's gang of thugs, Tang Bao's dozen or so men also ran out of the train station, standing in a neat row behind Tang Bao.
Pedestrians on the street avoided Tang Bao and his gang, as if afraid of causing trouble.
At this moment, Gao Jianfei seemed to have thought of something. He quickly took out a pack of Yuxi cigarettes from his pocket, opened it, handed one to Tang Bao first, and then distributed them to Tang Bao's henchmen behind him.
Having worked in society for a few years, Gao Jianfei understood that offering cigarettes was a good way to build rapport. Before coming to G province, Gao Jianfei had prepared a carton of Yuxi cigarettes.
Gao Jianfei thought that he had come to G Province to ask others for help in finding him a job, so he was asking for their help. Therefore, he should be more enthusiastic, offer cigarettes when appropriate, and treat them to meals when necessary. This was something he absolutely could not be ambiguous about.
Tang Bao's thugs were taken aback when Gao Jianfei offered them cigarettes. They were immediately flustered... This was Brother Bao's nephew personally offering cigarettes! These cigarettes were no small amount!
So the thugs were stunned and dared not take the cigarette that Gao Jianfei was throwing at them.
Tang Bao immediately winked at his thugs, "Damn it, my nephew personally offered you cigarettes, and you're not giving him any face?"
"Uh, thank you, thank you." The first thug bent over at a ninety-degree angle and took the cigarette from Gao Jianfei's hand with both hands.
The second thug followed suit.
So Gao Jianfei offered cigarettes to each of them, and the thugs all bowed, accepted the cigarettes with both hands, and whispered, "Thank you, thank you." Their attitude was completely flattered.
Not far away, a group of teenagers witnessed this scene and exclaimed, "Another gang leader has been born! Look at him, how young and stylish he is! He's dressed in cheap clothes, yet his men still treat him with such respect. That's what you call charisma! Aura! With the aura of a gang leader, no matter what you wear or what you look like, as long as you unleash your domineering presence, your men will all submit!"

Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Girl Killing Fish
Gao Jianfei and Tang Bao got into the Lamborghini together.
Tang Bao didn't drive himself; instead, he chatted with Gao Jianfei about all sorts of things, while a henchman with exceptional driving skills drove the car at high speed, cutting through the wind and waves.
A good car is different. Not only is it incredibly fast, but it's also very stable and comfortable. Gao Jianfei couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Tang, this car... must be very expensive, right?"
Tang Bao said nonchalantly, "So-so, a few million."
"Uh..." Gao Jianfei was speechless at Tang Bao's words.
A few million, just average?
However, Gao Jianfei knew very well that Tang Bao wasn't just showing off.
"Ha, nephew, you like this car? If you like it, I can give it to you! Uh... no, I can't give it to you. This is the property of the gang, and we can't just give it to anyone outside the gang..." Tang Bao picked his nose. "Anyway, nephew, as long as you follow Feilong's development, it's not like you can't afford this kind of car! It's just that you'll have to wait a few years. You're young, and youth is your advantage, right?"
“Yes, Uncle Tang.” Gao Jianfei nodded.
At this moment, Tang Bao finally admitted that he belonged to a certain organization... that is, an underground force!
Although Tang Bao initially warned himself to try his best to hide these things from Gao Jianfei, he was, after all, a straightforward person. As he gradually became familiar with Gao Jianfei, he couldn't stop talking and said some things he shouldn't have.
Gao Jianfei had already guessed Tang Shu's identity beforehand, so he wasn't surprised.
A convoy of luxury cars, consisting of one Lamborghini and four Audi A8s, drove through the city center of Huashi, the dreamlike and beautiful night view flashing past Gao Jianfei's eyes. A dazzling array of colors.
At that moment, a thrilling thought flashed through Gao Jianfei's mind!
My dad sent me to find Uncle Tang, saying that Uncle Tang was his coworker for many years, and that Uncle Tang's behavior tonight proved that he and my dad had a very deep friendship! It was almost like brothers!
Because of my father's connection, Uncle Tang treated me incredibly well! This kindness was absolutely genuine, not hypocritical!
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together!
Since Uncle Tang is giving Dad so much face, then was Dad really working in G province before?
Absolutely impossible!
How could a lowly worker like Uncle Tang, a high-ranking figure in a triad, possibly get involved?
Bullshit!
Could it be that Dad is one too?
"Uncle Tang, my dad, could it be... could it be that he was like you before?" Gao Jianfei asked Tang Bao in a trembling voice.
"This..." Tang Bao's expression didn't change. He just subconsciously picked his nose, as if he knew Gao Jianfei would definitely ask this question!
Tang Bao didn't answer Gao Jianfei's question immediately. His gaze was fixed on the scenery outside the car window, lost in thought. After a full half minute, Tang Bao turned to Gao Jianfei and said, "Nephew, the reason your father sent you to see me is because he trusts me! I promised him that there are some things I won't tell you, and you don't need to ask! Also, I won't let you join any gangs! This is my promise to your father! Your father is right... 'In the world of gangsters, one is not free to choose one's own path.' Once you step into these murky waters, you'll be entangled for life! Nephew, listen to your uncle, do honest work, and earn clean money."
"Oh," Gao Jianfei nodded subconsciously. Tang Bao's statement that he wouldn't let him join any gangs actually made Gao Jianfei feel a little disappointed!
"What's wrong, nephew? Not happy?" Tang Bao casually put his arm around Gao Jianfei's shoulder. "Anyway, after I take you to see Feilong tomorrow, you'll understand that you can make money honestly and properly, and you won't have to worry about being hacked to death every night when you go to sleep..." After a pause, Tang Bao said very seriously, "Also, nephew, let me tell you something very clearly: your dad, Gao Jin, is different from us! Although he works for a gang, he's not a thug or a thug. In short, he's never killed anyone! Haha, for that kind of rough work, your Uncle Tang has always been the one to go first!"
After hearing Tang Bao's words, Gao Jianfei didn't ask any more questions. He felt quite warm inside. No matter what, Uncle Tang's treatment of him was absolutely genuine.
"Yes, I'm fine now, Uncle Tang. And thank you!" Gao Jianfei nodded heavily.
"Damn! Why are you being so polite with your uncle?" Tang Bao patted Gao Jianfei's head. "Alright, let's drive to get some late-night snacks, then find you a place to rest for the night. We'll go find Feilong tomorrow morning!"
Speaking of late-night snacks, Gao Jianfei was indeed hungry.
On the train, Gao Jianfei only ate a few cup noodles!
However, Gao Jianfei had already decided that if they were going out for a late-night snack, he should treat them. Uncle Tang had been good to him, and since he needed Tang's help, he should naturally treat him to a meal.
This is a matter of etiquette.
“Uncle Tang, let’s go get some late-night snacks! But it’s on me. Uncle Tang, you don’t need to argue with me; this meal is my treat.” Gao Jianfei said very seriously. “That’s my principle!”
Tang Bao paused for a moment, then stared into Gao Jianfei's eyes for several seconds before bursting into laughter, "Interesting! Nephew, you're quite an interesting person! Well then..." He instructed the driver, "Go to Yuehua Street!"
“Yes, Brother Leopard.” The driver nodded, turned the steering wheel, and drove into a fork in the road on the left. Four Audi A8s followed closely behind.
Gao Jianfei noticed that the road ahead was gradually narrowing. After driving for more than ten minutes, the wide four-lane road became a two-lane road. Moreover, the tall buildings on both sides of the road had decreased significantly, and in their place were some self-built buildings that were only a few stories high.
In other words, the car drove into a place that resembled a rural-urban fringe area!
