"Stop bragging. You're no match for Big Mouth Chen. You don't even know the situation of your opponent, and you're already going to fight? Have you lost your mind from being in the gang? Do you really think you're some kind of street thug?"
"Go and find out who this kid is. Once we know, there are plenty of ways to kill him. It's not like fighting them is the only option."
Ge Dalong instructed his men that although most of the people in the Number Gang were from all walks of life, the core members were still his brothers who had been brought out from the Military Intelligence Bureau.
As a result, the allure of the world blinded him, and in just a few days, his men had completely transformed into gang thugs.
To outsiders, this was clearly Ge Dalong's overconfidence. These people were not good people from the beginning. Just because they changed into the skin of the Military Intelligence Bureau did not mean they were truly well-trained.
What these people are best at is stalking and spying. When it comes to fighting, they only know how to bully the weak with numbers. Otherwise, why would they be sent out to form gangs?
The number gang didn't move, and the foreigners were even less likely to move. Soon, Boss Huo received the news.
"sail!"
Boss Huo immediately ordered the boats to set off. The damaged boats had already been repaired. This time, Boss Huo dispatched five boats, each fully loaded. Standing next to the side of the boats, a quick glance downwards revealed that the water was only a little over a foot deep.
When it comes to transporting goods, Boss Huo is truly risking his life, going to every angle. Not only does he have to deal with inspections by foreigners and attacks by the number gang, but his unreserved loading capacity alone leaves others far behind.
Many people say that Boss Huo made his fortune through smuggling. But how many smugglers would he be working so hard?
Boss Huo's boats weren't even that big to begin with. And with such a deep draft, and since it's not an inland river, if they were to encounter a strong wind or heavy rain, neither the people nor the cargo would survive!
Standing on his boat, Zhang Guohao was greeted politely by everyone around him, from the elderly to the temporary workers. They all called him "Brother Hao" whenever they saw him.
Yesterday's fierce fight directly cemented Zhang Guohao's status.
In every aspect, Zhang Guohao is someone that everyone can only look up to but never reach. Not only is he good at fighting, but he's also ruthless!
They are ruthless enough to both their own people and outsiders!
If you're ruthless towards outsiders, they'll only admire you.
If you're ruthless to your own people, others will not only admire you, but also respect you.
Now Zhang Guohao doesn't even need to try to establish his authority anymore; this whole crew is already obediently following orders.
The old man, who had just experienced yesterday's fierce battle, was telling the newcomers about Zhang Guohao's glorious deeds.
"This is where Brother Hao threw that guy surnamed Liu into the water. The kid sank to the bottom right then and there."
……
"Well, Brother Hao was right here then, and he charged straight onto their boat! He took them down one by one with a single blow, it was pretty awesome!"
……
"That big-mouthed Chen, he was thrown into the water by Brother Hao right here, I don't know where he's drifted off to now. The fish in this sea must have had a good meal yesterday."
……
The young man who told the story to the newcomers was named Ai Wu. He was about the same age as Zhang Guohao and they boarded the ship together yesterday.
Having been on the ship for only a day, Ai Wu considered himself an old man, especially since he was the only one on the ship who had boarded with Zhang Guohao, so he called himself Zhang Guohao's right-hand man.
As soon as Zhang Guohao arrived today, Ai Wu fawned over him, praising him and bossing others around like a lapdog.
Zhang Guohao neither confirmed nor denied this. He said he was willing to work with others, but he couldn't do every random, messy thing.
Then all that ruthlessness was for nothing!
That's why ancient tyrannical rulers liked treacherous officials; having someone to serve them was truly comfortable.
Ai Wu is quite perceptive. He always greets the old men under Boss Huo with a smile and occasionally offers them a cigarette. He is also quite clever in learning how to sail and load cargo.
Although he always bossed the new temporary workers around, he wasn't too harsh on them, knowing they were just using Zhang Guohao's name to intimidate them.
After Ai Wu told his story, he really fooled the temporary workers. At this time, the sea was calm, and Ai Wu gathered them together to chat, which made the ship less boring.
"Brother Hao, most of the time when we're delivering goods, it's calm and peaceful like this. Yesterday's incident was just a very rare occurrence. There's no need to be so nervous. If we were fighting every day, no matter how many brothers we have, we wouldn't be able to keep up."
The old captain, who had been left behind by Boss Huo, handed over the helm to his apprentice and came over to Zhang Guohao to say something politely.
I don't know how the old captain came to this conclusion. His brain was practically smashed to pieces, and he still said everything was fine.
Perhaps the old captain was worried that Zhang Guohao would be nervous? And that made everyone else nervous too?
Or perhaps the old captain is worried that he was too aggressive yesterday and is now having diarrhea?
"Brother, we're all in the same boat, we don't lie to each other. If things were always calm, we wouldn't have hired so many temporary workers, would we? Of the temporary workers who boarded the ship with me yesterday, eight of them have already met their maker."
When Zhang Guohao heard the old captain say that, he laughed and said...
"Why don't you listen to the elders? Let me tell you, I've been working at sea for over twenty years, and I've been working with Boss Huo for four or five years. We're protected by the Goddess Mazu at sea, who gives us sailors a way to make a living. How can we fight every day?"
"If you work for Boss Huo, you'll have a good life ahead of you. In the first half of this year, we even went to Malacca, and nothing happened to us."
"Working for Boss Huo is a promising career path, and the pay is better than others."
The old captain insisted that he wanted to prove what he said was true.
Hearing this, Zhang Guohao understood. The old captain was trying to win over people for Boss Huo. Zhang Guohao didn't care. If the old men who followed Boss Huo didn't speak up for him, then Boss Huo would have been doing this for nothing.
Seeing that everything was alright at sea, Zhang Guohao decided to chat with the old captain.
The old captain's name was Guo Dagui, a name given to him by his parents. He also had an older brother, and their names together meant "great wealth and high status."
Guo Dagui said that since he started working for Boss Huo, his wife's son has gotten married, his grandson is already several months old, and he even bought a house for his son.
Not long ago, Guo Dagui even took a second wife!
Life was wonderful!
Other sailors simply can't compare! They work themselves to the bone all year to earn a pittance, how can they compare to me?
While listening to Guo Dagui's boasting, Zhang Guohao relaxed a bit, genuinely believing that the day would pass peacefully.
As soon as he turned his head, Zhang Guohao saw another dark figure appear in the distance.
"Brother Hao, just listen to me. Go with Boss Huo, you can't go wrong, and there will be no surprises today!"
Guo Dagui patted his chest and assured him.
"Brother, you've got a silver tongue! Maybe you should go to a temple and pray? It seems like everything you say comes true!"
Zhang Guohao turned around and looked at Guo Dagui.
