Then, the young men obediently approached Brother Cai and presented the money in their hands with both hands, saying, "Brother Cai, it's only a little over a thousand yuan. What bad luck!"
Brother Cai took the more than 1,000 yuan, counted it, and then handed it to the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman opened a handbag and put the money inside.
At this moment, Brother Cai pointed at Gao Jianfei and said, "Ah Fang, the usual rules, hurry up!"
"Yes, Brother Cai, I know." The middle-aged woman handed the handbag in her arms to Brother Cai, and then quickly jogged towards Gao Jianfei.

Chapter Twenty-Five: My Dear Nephew!
Gao Jianfei sat on his suitcase without provoking anyone, smoking a cigarette as he waited for Tang Bao.
But little did he know, trouble was already brewing...
Ah Fang, the middle-aged woman working for Brother Cai, walked straight towards Gao Jianfei with an overly enthusiastic smile on her face. "Handsome young man, have you found a hotel yet?"
"Hmm?" Gao Jianfei looked up at Afang. She was an ordinary middle-aged woman, nothing special. Gao Jianfei smiled politely, "Excuse me, I'm not looking for a hotel, I'm waiting for someone. My uncle."
This was Gao Jianfei's first time traveling so far from home, and according to his logic, once he refused, the woman should have been sensible enough to leave.
but……
"Oh my... handsome young man, our hotel has a great environment, nestled against the mountains and facing the water, with air conditioning and a 42-inch LCD TV. If you have any special needs, you can call us!" Afang's enthusiasm not only didn't diminish, but grew even higher, and she even reached out to grab Gao Jianfei's arm!
Gao Jianfei instinctively stood up. "I really don't want to stay in a hotel!"
Afang persisted, "It's really cheap, handsome young man, come with me! Go check out the place first!" As she spoke, she started pulling Gao Jianfei along.
Although Gao Jianfei had not seen much of the world, this did not mean that Gao Jianfei had a problem with his intelligence.
Especially in such special circumstances where people are far from home, they will have a particularly strong sense of vigilance and defensiveness in their subconscious.
Gao Jianfei immediately realized that something was wrong!
"Don't pull me! Let go!" Gao Jianfei's face turned cold. "Let go!"
"Hey... come with me!" Afang didn't care what Gao Jianfei was saying. She just dragged, pulled, and yanked him to one side, using every trick in the book!
To be honest, Afang is quite strong; she actually dragged Gao Jianfei half a meter.
Gao Jianfei is famous. He's really famous.
"Don't pull!" Gao Jianfei growled, struggling and shaking his arm...
A very dramatic scene unfolded.
As soon as Gao Jianfei exerted his strength, Afang flew more than a meter away like a flying acrobat before crashing to the ground.
Ah Fang fell very skillfully and with great technique.
Then she began to lie on the ground groaning, "Ouch... I... I hit my head... it hurts... ouch, I feel suffocated... ouch..."
Passengers passing by quickly detoured, and no one dared to come and watch the spectacle.
Before Gao Jianfei could even react, nine boys with brightly colored hair rushed over aggressively and surrounded him!
"Ouch..." Afang rolled on the ground. "My head hurts so much, it feels like it's going to split open..."
"What are you doing? Hitting someone? Damn it! Hitting someone?" One of the boys bared his teeth and shouted at Gao Jianfei, "You've got some nerve, daring to hit my sister?"
Another boy called out to Ah Fang, who was lying on the ground, "Sister, what happened?"
"Ouch...this kid hit me...hit me!" Afang lay on the ground shamelessly, pointing at Gao Jianfei, "He hit me!"
Suddenly, the two boys took a step and came to Gao Jianfei's left and right sides, reaching out to press down on Gao Jianfei's shoulders.
"What are you doing?" Gao Jianfei tried to back away, but the other guys had already blocked him from both the front and the back.
Gao Jianfei now fully understands... he's encountered a rogue fraud gang!
However, given the enemy's superior numbers, Gao Jianfei couldn't possibly force his way out; he could only... observe the situation.
To be honest, given his usual temperament, Gao Jianfei would have been terrified in this situation, but at this moment, he appeared quite calm.
It's unclear whether Gao Jianfei's courage and confidence improved after obtaining the Super Ghost Instrument, or whether seeing so many ghosts had indeed honed his courage.
"You think you're so tough? You hit someone and then ask us what we want?" One of the guys gestured with his chin at Gao Jianfei. "Come on, let's go talk over there!"
Immediately, the two boys who were holding Gao Jianfei's left and right shoulders pushed him toward the stone steps where Brother Cai was.
Another young man went over and carried Gao Jianfei's luggage on his shoulder.
The group went directly to Brother Cai.
Brother Cai sat on the stone steps, legs crossed, smoking, with several henchmen standing behind him.
"Brother Cai, this kid hit Sister Fang!" the boy holding Gao Jianfei's left shoulder hurriedly reported.
Brother Cai slowly smoked his cigarette, glancing sideways at Gao Jianfei.
Cai Ge was a little puzzled.
Someone like Gao Jianfei, a country bumpkin who was going far away to work for the first time, should have been very flustered and scared when he encountered this kind of thing, and should have been constantly apologizing and begging for forgiveness. He would never have been so calm!
Of course, his cheap clothes and tattered suitcase all indicated that Gao Jianfei couldn't possibly have any connections! Brother Cai felt he didn't need to make a fuss or worry too much.
"Kid, first time in G province, huh? Do you know this train station is under my protection?" Brother Cai had his own way of dealing with bold people, which was... intimidation! "You hit my men? You bastard, I have dozens of brothers watching me. If you hit my men, aren't you slapping my face? Damn it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Cai stood up aggressively, threw away his cigarette butt, and deliberately lifted his shirt to reveal a dagger hidden in his belt.
Cai Ge's henchmen started cracking their knuckles, making a cracking sound.
It would be impossible for Gao Jianfei to be completely calm and collected.
Gao Jianfei also considered countermeasures.
Right now, Gao Jianfei only has two ways to escape... First, he can directly enter the haunted house. However, that would be too terrifying.
Second, throwing knives.
The crucial problem is that throwing a knife inevitably results in death. Gao Jianfei doesn't want to become a murderer the moment he arrives in G province. Besides, he only has one knife, while there are over a dozen thugs in front of him…
"What exactly do you want to do?" Gao Jianfei struggled for a moment, but the people on both sides held him down tightly.
Brother Cai chuckled. “Kid, we’re not trying to extort you. You hit someone, so you can’t just let it go, right? You’ll need to take her to the hospital for X-rays and a full-body checkup, right? But… I see you don’t have much money to take Afang to the hospital. So, we’ll take the loss. You give us 5,000 yuan, and we’ll settle this privately.”
Before Gao Jianfei could answer, his cell phone rang.
The two boys holding Gao Jianfei captive gave Cai Ge a wink.
Cai Ge said nonchalantly, "Let him answer the phone, we're not afraid, we're not extorting him! Today it's either money or taking Afang to the hospital, there's no third option!"
The two henchmen holding Gao Jianfei released their grip.
Gao Jianfei took out his phone; it was Tang Bao calling.
Answer the call...
"Xiao Gao, where are you now? Your Uncle Tang has arrived at the train station."
"Oh, Uncle Tang, I'm at the North Railway Station, on the stone steps under a China Mobile billboard... Uncle Tang, I..." Before Gao Jianfei could finish speaking, one of his henchmen suddenly grabbed his phone and hung up!
"Alright, stop dawdling... give me the money!" Brother Cai shouted triumphantly at Gao Jianfei, looking like he had Gao Jianfei cornered today.
Just then, one of Cai's henchmen, his eyes bulging, stared straight ahead. He rubbed his eyes, then hurriedly tugged at Cai's sleeve and whispered, "Cai, I...I think I saw...I saw Leopard from Zheng Bang..."
"Are you fucking stupid?" Brother Cai slapped the henchman on the head. "Who is Brother Leopard? He's the current boss of Zheng Bang! He has thousands of brothers under him, money and guns to his name, and he can make us disappear from G province with just one word. What's he doing at the train station in the middle of the night?"
“Brother Cai, it really is Brother Leopard! No doubt about it! I saw Brother Leopard with my own eyes at the entrance of Zheng Bang Workers' Club last time! No doubt about it!” The middle-aged woman, Afang, also ran over and said breathlessly.
“Uh…” Cai Ge was stunned for a moment, then looked straight ahead.
Tang Bao led a dozen or so men and came straight at them!
"Ah!" Brother Cai immediately shouted, then rushed forward with quick steps, "Brother Leopard! My idol! Brother Leopard!"
He ran up to Tang Bao, bent over at a ninety-degree angle, and his legs swayed wildly.
"Huh? Who are you?" Tang Bao picked his nose, took off his sunglasses, frowned at Cai Ge, and then turned to one of his men beside him, asking, "Who is this sleazy guy? One of our Zheng Bang members?"
“Brother Leopard, I seem to vaguely remember this guy, his name is something like ‘Chen Wangcai’. He does some petty extortion and stuff around the train station, he’s not one of Zheng Bang’s.” The henchman said while thinking, “He’s just a bunch of thugs, Brother Leopard.”
"Oh," Tang Bao nodded dismissively. "Hey you, it's the middle of the night, and you're still wandering around here. You're obviously disturbing the peace and order of our flower market. Go away, go away."
"Yes, yes, Brother Leopard, we'll do this job later, and then we'll call it a day. I wonder if Brother Leopard is free? I've admired Brother Leopard's reputation for a long time and have always wanted to invite him for a drink..." Brother Cai stammered, waving his hand at his henchmen, "Damn it! Are you all dumbfounded? Come here... come here and say hello to Brother Leopard!"
The dozen or so henchmen under Brother Cai immediately lined up obediently, bowing at a ninety-degree angle just like Brother Cai, "Brother Leopard... Brother Leopard... Hello..."
A unified voice is not conducive to this.
In the eyes of these young thugs, what kind of person is Brother Leopard?
What a legendary figure!
That's the real B-level underworld boss!
At this moment, Tang Bao looked at the billboard of a mobile company next to the stone steps, and then looked at Gao Jianfei standing there.
Tang Bao's eyes visibly brightened, then flashed with excitement. However, he quickly calmed down, then gently grasped Cai Ge's few remaining hairs, turning Cai Ge's face upwards.
Tang Bao picked a huge booger from his nose and smeared it on Cai Ge's face.
Brother Cai smiled and grinned, not daring to get angry.
"By the way, you still have one last deal to make. What kind of deal?" Tang Bao smiled mysteriously.
"Brother Leopard, it's nothing, just some country bumpkin who beat up my man. We'll make him pay some medical expenses now, he'll be fine soon." Brother Cai pointed at Gao Jianfei.
"Oh! I see!" Tang Bao nodded heavily. "Do you know why I came to the train station today? I came to pick up my dear nephew! He's come from the inland to G province to work!"
"Uh...nephew?" Cai Ge was taken aback. Then, a very bad premonition instantly gripped his heart!
At this moment, Tang Bao excitedly rushed towards Gao Jianfei and gave him a bear hug. "Little Gao! Haha! My dear nephew, you're just as handsome as your dad was when he was young! Damn! Especially those eyes, they really look like your dad's!"
"Wah!" At this moment, the middle-aged woman, Afang, burst into tears!
She really cried. She didn't even have time to cry during her trapeze performance, but now she truly cried!
Cai Ge felt dizzy and shook his head vigorously, but he couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground with tears streaming down his face.

Gao Jianfei was tightly embraced by Tang Bao, who suddenly pounced on him.
