Chapter 21: No Good Options

  The next morning, Evan came to knock on Jinhu's door. Jinhu was already dressed and lying in bed watching TV listlessly. Hearing Evan's knock, he turned off the TV and walked towards the door with his small luggage.

  "I've got it ready." Jin Hu said as he opened the door and faced Evan at the entrance.

  Aidan nodded and turned towards the elevator, Jinhu followed closely behind him, jogging a couple of steps to keep up: "How was everything yesterday?"

  Evan nodded: "It's going smoothly".

  After hearing Evan's answer, Jinhu also shut his mouth and the two sat in the elevator going downstairs to settle the bill. Evan had somehow gotten a car and was nowhere to be found, so the two hailed a taxi and headed towards the airport.

  The plane was flying in the air, Jin Hu flipped through the newspaper, and the headline was two photos, two titles: A Russian woman fell to her death from a hotel! A suspect of corruption was found dead this morning, with four gunshot wounds, police suspected of being silenced.

  Jin Hu glanced at the title, flipped through the content and lost interest in reading it. The article was written in a flowery style, just like what he had seen with his own eyes at that time, and after scanning it briefly, Jin Hu inserted the newspaper into the trash bag in front of him.

  Aidan opened his eyes and said to Jinhu, "Don't believe what's written in the newspapers. Eight or nine out of ten are nonsense, but people love to read about nonsense." He gestured discreetly with his hand, and Jinhu looked around to see many people reading the newspaper with great interest. Aidan continued to whisper to Jinhu, "What's true doesn't matter to them! The truth is for people like us, because we have the ability, but they don't. That's what they mean by 'with great power comes great responsibility'!" After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and began to meditate.

  Jin Hu looked at the calm face of Evan and sighed in his heart. In comparison, Jin Hu still preferred the Evan from last night, who had a bit more human touch. After glancing at Evan, Jin Hu also leaned back against the chair and closed his eyes.

  Back in the factory, Jin Hu's mood improved a lot. With Kim and Bernie, two treasures by his side, life was filled with laughter.

  Ning Guoquan was indeed entangled with Xu Mao, just as Jin Hu thought. He couldn't get rid of Xu Mao, but he got rid of two good hands of Yi Qing, and from time to time, one or two high-ranking officials would disappear. The emperor was furious and ordered the arrest of Ning Guoquan.

  In the afternoon, everyone was waiting in front of a simple boxing ring for Liao Hui's people to arrive. Jin Hu's face was also filled with smiles, because this time, the person who brought people over was none other than An Wei. Liao Hui indeed had the makings of a big boss, knowing that An Wei had the best relationship with him among all the members of the gang. He directly gave him a small leadership position, managing the former repair shop, and became one of the most powerful figures in the gang, ranking high in the organization.

  Watching two cars drive in one after another, Evan took a step forward and stood still as if to greet them.

  An Wei stepped out of the car, now dressed in a gray suit, his leather shoes spotless, looking every inch the rich young master, followed by two young men with awkward expressions on their faces.

  "Brother Tiger!" An Pei saw Jin Hu and raised his hand high, waving at him.

  Jin Hu looked at him with a smile on his face and nodded in agreement.

  Looking at Jinhu's face, Anwei ran two steps to the front of Jinhu and Aiven: "Brother Hu! Hui asked me to deliver something to you." After finishing, he turned his head and beckoned to the two little followers: "Hurry up and bring the things over!"

  An Wei handed over the things from Xiao Gen Ban and handed them to Jin Hu's two people: "They are all in the bag" After finishing, he patted the bag.

  Aidan took the bag and turned to Jinhu, saying: "You guys are more familiar with bringing him out to play, I'll go take a look at the goods." After finishing speaking, he nodded towards Anpei and smiled as a greeting.

  An Wei nodded at Evan and turned to his two followers, saying: "What are you still dazing about? This is the Tiger Brother I've often mentioned to you. You've also heard Master Ning say that he's not even a match for Tiger Brother!"

  "Brother Hu!" A seemingly clever young man called out to Jinhu and started bowing, but before he could even bend down, An Qi lightly patted him on the head: "You're also calling him Brother Hu? Call him Uncle Hu!"

  Jin Hu listened and waved his hand, saying: "Just a title!" Jin Hu took a look and knew that Liao Hui had given An Wei some greenhorns. But to say it back, if he was a good player, he wouldn't be able to control An Wei's current state, and he would still be jumping around.

  Having introduced An Wei to Bernie and Kim, several people knew that the young man named An Wei had a good relationship with Jin Hu. Bernie and Kim became enthusiastic.

  Jin Hu's side didn't have the Philadelphia police being so poor and tasteless, An Wei arranged not only accommodation but also girls for them. Each of the two young men had two blonde-haired girls, and Jin Mu said when arranging that they shouldn't be dyed, if it was discovered that the hair color was different, they would go back to find the old lady to settle accounts. The two young followers had never enjoyed such treatment before, after finishing dinner, they hid in their room waiting for the girls to get into bed, while An Wei went to Jin Hu's room to chat with him.

  "Brother Tiger! I'm bored over there! I want to come over and join you!" An Chui said, taking a sip of wine as he spoke to Jin Hu.

  "You're doing pretty well now, got a promotion and even have some underlings, right?" Jin Hu said with a smile to An Pei.

  An Wei shook his head after listening: "When I came, Hui Ge told me about Qi Ye letting him kill you, and also the time before when you asked me to hide for a few days. After thinking about it, I didn't want to work there anymore."

  "Oh!" Jin Hu puffed out a smoke ring and looked at An Pei, asking: "What have you thought of?"

  An Wei looked at Jin Hu: "I've thought about the events that have happened over this period of time, and I think there's more to it. Seventh Master hastily handed over power to Hui Ge, but he still tightly grasped his own power, even calling Ning Shifu to his side. Things aren't as simple as they seem. Although I don't know what the truth is, I'm guessing that 7 or 8 out of 10 times it's infighting within our own ranks. Just like you said, we can be ruthless towards our own people, but when facing outsiders, we become turtles hiding in our shells, making others look down on us!" After finishing speaking, he looked up at Jin Hu.

  Jin Hu listened and smiled, An Wei this kid has some brains, so he directly told him what had happened, and then told An Wei about Lu Qi's mistakes. After stringing together the old man's tricks, Jin Hu found that the old guy was wrong from start to finish. No matter how you calculate it, he is going to die! Either he dies at Liao Hui's hands or at Jin Hu's hands, or else Xu Mao, the difference being that if he had handed over the gang's affairs wholeheartedly to Liao Hui, his children might have survived, but now they are likely to be reunited in death. The only person who could originally protect his children, Liao Hui, has become the one who wants to kill them the most, it's unbelievable if he doesn't die.

  Jin Hu sat on the sofa, analyzing the situation, not just explaining it to An Wei, but also thinking for himself.

  "Are you saying that Seventh Master still has children?" An Pei asked Jin Hu.

  Jin Hu smiled and said: "It used to be, but now..."

  An Wei shook his head and sighed: "This is a bit too miserable".

  Haha, Jin Hu laughed twice and patted An Pei's back: "You think the boss's position is so easy to sit in? Anyone who can sit stably has come through this."

  "Well, I still want to follow you and get rid of all these disgusting things," An Pei said.

  He puffed on his cigarette, thinking for a moment: "Things are tough here, more dangerous than where you are. Just stay there and lay low for a while, don't try to grab any position or build your own power, just blend in. I'll think of something and let you know." For the time being, Jin Hu couldn't think of anything good, so he had An Wei stay with Liao Hui for a while, waiting until he came up with a plan. This wasn't the first time An Wei had asked to follow Jin Hu, and now Jin Hu's bandit instincts were acting up again. He thought about his other younger brother, Zou He Ming, who was timid and wondered how he was doing in Linjiang. Then he thought of Zhang Yi Fan, the generous merchant, Wang Jun, with whom he had shared life and death, and then his mind turned to his parents at home. He couldn't help but space out.

  "Big Brother Tiger!" An Pei stared at Jin Hu, thinking he was worried about his own affairs again, and hastily said: "I'm not in a hurry, Big Brother Tiger, take your time to think, I'll just wait for your news!"

  Jin Hu came back to his senses and said to An Pei, "No, I was just thinking of some friends back home. By the way, when is Hu Fei coming over next?"

  An Wei listened and touched his head, saying: "You didn't mention it earlier, but I was wondering. The domestic Gang Ge had lost contact with the gang for a period of time! Now Hui Ge has taken over and wants to continue this matter, let's ask your opinion."

  Jin Hu thought for a moment, feeling a bit embarrassed. In his heart, Jin Hu didn't want Chinese people to sneak over, America wasn't all gold, and the unemployment rate among Americans was already high, so why come here to work illegally? It's no different from being in a sweatshop. But could he say that? Countless people were eager to come, if they wanted to do black labor, Jin Hu would fully support it, especially after getting American citizenship, the laws here were too powerful.

  "After thinking for a moment, he said: 'I'll make a phone call to ask, if possible, it's still better for Liao Hui to go and talk!'"

  "That's it! Hui Ge also said that it was a misunderstanding before, and now everything is normal. He still uses the old way, and Hui Ge has also set new rules. Those who force good people to become prostitutes will be sunk into the sea!" An Wei said to Jin Hu.

  Jin Hu nodded: "This is what Liao Hui did well!" Jin Hu was just casually praising, but specifically, he still had the same view of these gangsters: as long as they had money, there was no bottom line!

  "Knock! Knock!" The sound of knocking came from the door, along with Kim's voice: "Brian!"

  "Come on in! The door isn't locked!" Jin Hu yelled at the entrance.

  Kim pushed open the door and saw An Wei also laughing and said: "Wei! Don't keep the girls waiting, I have something to do with Brian!"
