They greeted each other.
Wu An looked curious, and Gao Qiangqi said, "His father had a bit of a disagreement with the vendors in their town before, so he came to our town, and that's where I ended up buying the goods."
"Later, whenever they came to our area, they would look for me."
Fan Dali said, "Boss Gao is a good person; he helped us settle things."
Fan Xiaozhu also looked very grateful.
Wu An didn't ask any more questions; they were all people with stories to tell.
Gao Qiangqi looked at them and asked, "What's going on here?"
Fan Dali scratched his head and said, "It's like this, the day before yesterday, my father, sons, and I went out to sea and met Wu An and his group, so we went down into the fish trap together."
"I benefited from his good luck."
“He made a lot of money, so I treated him to a meal as a token of my appreciation.”
Fan Xiaozhu was a broken record: "Thanks to Wu An for leading us to make a lot of money."
Gao Qiangqi suddenly realized and laughed, "You guys are lucky to be following Wu An."
"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore."
"Ah An, it seems like President Qin wants to talk to you about something."
Wu An had an idea and followed Gao Qiangqi to the side.
The two arrived at an empty private room.
Close the door.
Gao Qiangqi took out a cigarette, and Wu An saw a lighter on the table, picked it up and lit it for him with a "snap".
Gao Qiangqi smiled and said, "You've even learned this trick."
Wu An said, "What's wrong with lighting my cigarette?"
Gao Qiangqi nodded at him.
Wu An finally couldn't contain himself and asked, "Brother Qiang, any progress?"
“Yes.” Gao Qiangqi sat down, took out his phone, and said, “You’re right to suspect that it was Ma Weiqun who led the men to do it.”
Wu An nodded.
I looked at the video on my phone and clicked on it.
The man in the video was drinking, and there were no signs of coercion, at least not from the video. He also seemed to have drunk quite a bit, as his face was flushed.
There was another girl next to me. She had an average appearance and figure, but she was dressed quite fashionably. Her makeup was a bit heavy, like smoky eye makeup, giving her a somewhat decadent look. It seems that this kind of makeup is quite popular among girls around here.
The girl told the man the camera was pointing at to speak properly.
The man actually complied and said it.
Wu An looked up at Gao Qiangqi: "Brother Qiang, how did you do that?"
That's incredible.
A honey trap?
Gao Qiangqi laughed and said, "When I checked, it was quite a coincidence that this scoundrel named Du Shuai was a classmate of one of my employees. What's even more coincidental is that my employee said that Du Shuai likes his sister."
"You know what, the honey trap is simple but it really works."
"After a few drinks, he'll tell you everything."
“Ma Weiqun and his gang have done this kind of thing before; they are repeat offenders.”
"However, this time it was very unusual. Ma Weiqun led them directly to unfamiliar waters, heading straight for you."
"Ma Weiqun said that someone gave him guidance."
Wu An asked, "Who?"
Gao Qiangqi shook his head: "He doesn't know either, but Ma Weiqun said he took out 10% as a kickback, in cash."
Wu An said, "They found out too late. Ma Weiqun has probably already met with that person. There's no way to investigate now, so we can only..."
He looked at Gao Qiangqi.
Gao Qiangqi also looked at him.
The two said in unison, "Let's do it again, following the clues."
Gao Qiangqi smiled and said, "That's feasible."
“That kid Ma Weiqun is good at dirty work, and there are quite a few people on the boat.”
"You need to be prepared."
Wu An nodded and said, "Brother Qiang, this is mainly your fault..."
"rest assured."
"..."
The two chatted in the private room for a while. After the matter was settled, Wu An was about to leave when Gao Qiangqi seemed to remember something and said, "The Fan brothers are alright."
"I see they've really gone all out to treat you to dinner, especially here."
"I guess they're begging you to take them with you."
"If you think it's not a big problem, then take it with you. Having more help at sea is always an advantage."
Wu An nodded, indicating that he understood.
Gao Qiangqi has an "occupational hazard"—he can make friends with people wherever he goes.
It must be admitted that the big boss is quite something; he has a very sharp eye and is very good at judging people. He could see through the Fan brothers' intentions after just one meeting.
He had taken this into consideration, which is why he agreed to have this meal with the Fan brothers.
After Wu An left the private room, Gao Qiangqi took out his phone and called his employees. They chatted for a while and only felt at ease after everything was arranged properly.
He needs to take his younger brother's affairs to heart.
...
When Wu An returned, A Qing asked curiously, "Brother, you were gone for so long, what happened?"
"It's nothing."
Wu An took a sip of wine to moisten his throat.
I ate two bites of food.
Fan Dali offered another toast.
Wu An clinked glasses with him, drank the wine, and said, "You and Brother Qiang are friends, so we're friends too. Brother Dali, just say what you need to say."
Fueled by alcohol, Fan Dali revealed his purpose: he wanted to follow him and go out to sea with him.
Fan Xiaozhu added, "We heard you were lucky, and we want to try our luck too."
Wu An raised an eyebrow and asked, "Not satisfied with getting this advantage?"
The Fan brothers, whose faces were already flushed, looked extremely embarrassed upon hearing the question. Just as they were about to explain, Wu An smiled and said, "If you want to come along, then come along."
"You two brothers are good people, I don't mind too much."
"No one can guarantee your income."
"However, I have one condition."
"If we encounter any trouble at sea and need your help, you must help us."
Upon hearing this, the Fan brothers beamed with joy, like two gorillas—or rather, one a gorilla and the other a skinny monkey—thumping their chests loudly and vowing, "Wu An, no matter what trouble it is, we will be the first to step up and take the lead."
Wu An smiled and said, "Just call me A-An."
Aqing was also very happy.
The brother has taken on a new underling.
By rounding up, he now has a younger brother.
good.
Very good.
Just two months ago, the two brothers were worse off than even the village thugs, but now they have heroes bowing down to them.
You're really amazing, bro.
But Aqing also felt that she was quite capable.
Look how good his eye is; he's been hanging out with his brother since he was a kid.
In the Water Margin, he would at least be considered the second-in-command.
Aqing felt quite proud when she thought about it.
As they left the restaurant, Fan Dali took some cigarettes and alcohol from his motorcycle and gave them to Wu An: two cartons of Huazi cigarettes and two bottles of Tianzhilan cigarettes. He said, "An, don't mind them."
"I really benefited from your luck this time; I made money."
"Don't be disgusted by it."
Wu An declined, saying, "There's no need for that. You say you're taking advantage of my luck, but the fish traps weren't ordered by me. Besides, the fish were all caught by you through your hard work."
"Ah An, please keep this safe. We'll be following you from now on." Fan Dali said, stuffing the bag directly into Ah Qing's hand. Ah Qing didn't refuse and grabbed it.
After exchanging a few meaningless words, the Fan brothers rode off on their motorcycles.
It was still quite early, so Wu An called Mai Hangyu. Not long after, Mai Hangyu arrived on his motorcycle. Wu An parked his tricycle at the market, and the two of them got on Mai Hangyu's motorcycle.
This motorcycle is big enough that three people can squeeze in.
