"Gao Hu, you idiot!"

"What's the use of studying!"

At this moment, a group of thugs walked over. The leader, Huang Mao, cursed:

"Tomorrow, come with me to pay respects to Brother Biao and join He Lian Sheng. From now on, you and Ghost Eye will have a place to stay and won't have to live in a tent every day."

Gao Hu cupped his hands: "Many thanks, Brother Gui."

Gao Hu was indeed very grateful to Brother Gui, because joining He Lian Sheng, even as a "Blue Lantern," required giving a red envelope to the boss.

For one person, the red envelope was 380 Hong Kong dollars!

This money was paid by Brother Gui.

This made Gao Hu very grateful.

As long as they joined He Lian Sheng, he and Ghost Eye would never have to wander around like wild dogs again.

Huang Mao Gui looked at the book in Gao Hu's hand with disdain: "Don't thank me. If it weren't for your brother Ghost Eye insisting on bringing you along, I wouldn't want to bring you..."

He had his eye on Ghost Eye's strength; he was young and thin, but his strikes were ruthless and methodical, capable of KO-ing the stronger Blind Dragon.

Once Ghost Eye's nutrition caught up and he became stronger, with further training, he would inevitably become a Red Pole of the society!

This could be considered him "hugging a big thigh" in advance.

The underworld isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships!

Huang Mao Gui understood this very clearly.

Just then...

Vroom vroom vroom~~~~~

Three cars in the distance shone their lights, getting closer and closer.

The group of kids covered their eyes with their hands.

Soon, the cars stopped in front of them, and the headlights were turned off.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, Gao Jin, Following Xiao Fu, and A-Boy got out of the car...

Fish Head Biao and Feiji also got out...

When Huang Mao Gui saw Yu Tou Biao, he was shocked, then put on a fawning expression and walked over quickly.

"Brother Biao!"

"Brother Feiji!"

"What brings you here?"

"If there's anything, please just give the order; I'll definitely get it done!"

Huang Mao Gui acted fawning and sycophantic.

He had always wanted to perform well in front of Brother Biao; wasn't this the perfect opportunity to suck up to him?

Watch my fawning skills; I'll fawn him to death!

"Get out of the way!"

"You're in the way!"

Yu Tou Biao impatiently pushed Huang Mao Gui aside and walked up to Gao Hu.

"You are Gao Hu?"

"It's me, Brother Biao." Although Gao Hu had already shown signs of his potential, in front of his boss's boss, he still appeared a bit nervous.

"Good!"

Yu Tou Biao put his arm around Gao Hu's shoulder and, amidst the shocked and envious gazes of the other kids, dragged him over to Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.

"This is Brother Zu, or Mr. Guan. He's from Hong Xing, very powerful. He has a huge territory in Causeway Bay, a God of Wealth, a God of Stocks..."

Gao Hu looked at Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu—gold-rimmed glasses, suit and leather shoes, handsome and extraordinary... This was exactly the future image he had always aspired to.

Hearing Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's title, he didn't understand what "Causeway Bay Hong Xing" meant, but he understood "God of Stocks."

He was instantly shocked as he looked at Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.

This person was definitely not an ordinary gangster.

Looking at Brother Biao's attitude, it was clear he respected this person very much.

"You are Gao Hu?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu looked at the handsome kid in front of him. Although he wore broken-legged glasses, he already had the temperament of his future self, and the book in his hand made Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu even more satisfied.

"Mr. Guan, I am Gao Hu." Gao Hu had already realized that this might be the opportunity to change his life.

"Very good. From today on, you're with me." Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiled and patted Gao Hu's shoulder.

"Why aren't you agreeing yet? Brother Zu recruiting you is a rare stroke of luck; you're going to be rich!" Yu Tou Biao reminded him.

Gao Hu quickly bowed to Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "Thank you, Mr. Guan!" Then he nervously pulled Ghost Eye to stand in front of Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "Mr. Guan, this is my brother Ghost Eye. We grew up together. I wonder if I can bring him along?"

Gao Hu was afraid Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu wouldn't want Ghost Eye, so he tried hard to promote him: "Don't look at how thin he is now; he's a great fighter. When he grows up and gets stronger, he'll be very powerful!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu carefully examined Ghost Eye.

Ghost Eye felt Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's gaze sweep over him and instantly became nervous.

He also realized that Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was clearly stronger than Yu Tou Biao; naturally, he hoped to follow a stronger boss, and he didn't want to be separated from Gao Hu.

"Your name is Ghost Eye, right?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu suddenly smiled.

"Alright, then come along!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu looked at Yu Tou Biao: "Brother Biao, sorry, I want to take this kid away too..."

Huang Mao Gui on the side: "............"

Awkward~~

Damn, my big thigh is about to be snatched away!

"Of course, I won't take them for free." Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu took out 100,000 Hong Kong dollars and placed it in Yu Tou Biao's hand. "100,000, 50,000 for each."

!.

Using money to win people over!

Paying a high price to show sincerity!

Anyway, 100,000 was just pocket change in Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's eyes!

Yu Tou Biao was a poor guy; seeing the money, he was instantly overjoyed: "Hahaha~~~ Then thank you, Brother Zu."

Then he said to Gao Hu and Ghost Eye: "Follow Brother Zu well from now on, and be loyal to him, you hear?"

"Understood, Brother Biao." *2

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu cupped his hands: "Brother Biao, my business here is done... Next time you come to Causeway Bay, let me know in advance, and I'll welcome you."

Yu Tou Biao was happy: "Good!"

This time, he only gave away two small thugs but received 100,000 Hong Kong dollars and established a connection with Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.

Not bad, not bad!

Soon, amidst the farewells of Yu Tou Biao and the others, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu got into the car, and Gao Hu and Ghost Eye followed, leaving Liyu Mun.

That night, the teenagers in Liyu Mun were all asking who this Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was. How could even their god—Brother Biao—be so respectful to him?

Of course, they couldn't help but envy Gao Hu and Ghost Eye's good fortune in being noticed by such a big shot.

They wished they could take their place!

In the car.

Gao Hu and Ghost Eye sat in the back, very nervous, shrinking like quails, not even daring to touch anything in the car.

They had never ridden in a car before, let alone Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's luxury Bentley, with its exquisite and high-end interior.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu saw the two kids and smiled gently.

"No need to be so nervous..."

"From now on, just call me Brother Zu or Mr. Guan."

"My name is Gao Jin; just call me Brother Jin."

"Call me Brother Xing."

"Call me... Brother Fu."

They introduced themselves one by one, and Gao Hu and Ghost Eye quickly memorized them.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu looked at Gao Hu: "Gao Hu, I came to pick you up this time because an old friend asked me to take care of you, but he has already passed away. This time, I'm taking you to Causeway Bay so you can live a new life."

The "old friend" part was naturally a bluff.

Gao Hu was stunned.

He couldn't think of any old friend or elder in his life.

But he also knew that a big shot like Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu wouldn't come all the way here to pull him out of the mud for no reason... It couldn't be because of his talent, right? Gao Hu didn't think he had any talent.

Therefore, the most likely reason was the entrustment of an old elder.

"Tell me about your experiences..."

"Alright, Mr. Guan."

Gao Hu and Ghost Eye each told their stories, which were basically all extremely miserable: parents dead, house occupied, homeless, living in tents, scavenging, begging...

Gao Jin and A-Boy felt empathy after hearing this; their experiences weren't much different.

Following Xiao Fu couldn't help but feel sympathy for the two little guys.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu patted the two kids' heads: "From today on, you won't have to suffer like this anymore. You will grow up in an orphanage I opened, with food and clothes, and I'll send you to school..."
