894: Chapter 884: The Meeting Begins 894: Chapter 884: The Meeting Begins Every man has a dream car in his heart, and Bruce was no exception.
His dream car was a Mustang Boss 429, but even without knowing where the car was, he was already determined to buy it.
Bruce was crazily in love.
With a resigned look, Jansen gave a bitter smile and said, “It’s clearly written here, it’s in Newark, very close.
You can go for a test drive today.”
Newark is part of New Jersey, but it belongs to the New York metropolitan area and is just across the river from Manhattan.
It’s very close.
Slapping his hand, Bruce exclaimed, “This car is destined to be mine.
Guys, who’s coming with me to test drive?”
Just then, as Gao Yang noticed there was no one else in the room, he said apologetically, “Sorry guys, before you go to see the car, I have something very important to tell you.
Yes, we’ve got a job, and it’s a big one.
I was planning to wait for Toad and Little Donnie to arrive and then ask for your opinion on whether to take the task.”
Bruce was stunned for a moment, then asked in a daze, “Is it urgent?”
Gao Yang gave an embarrassed smile and replied, “Very urgent.”
With a look of disappointment, Bruce said, “Oh, all right then.
I can wait a bit longer to see the car.
No, I can buy the car without seeing it.”
After some thought, Gao Yang said, “No, don’t rush.
Let’s first discuss whether to take this job.
Then whether we take it or not, you can still go get your car.
No matter how urgent it is, we still need time to prepare.”
Bruce immediately beamed and thanked him, “Thanks, boss.”
At that moment, attracted by all the commotion, Bob and Jack followed into Jansen’s room.
After figuring out what the shouting was about, Bob immediately said loudly, “A Mustang Boss 429?
That’s a nice car.
I wouldn’t buy an old car, but I’d love to go see it.”
Jack slapped Bruce on the shoulder and laughed, “Congratulations buddy, your wish came true.
Let’s go test drive it together.”
Meanwhile, Eileen teased from the side, “Hey, Jack, I had no idea you were such an impressive drummer, and to think that Test Tube could play the guitar.”
Bruce shrugged and said, “We weren’t just roommates in college, we even formed a band together.
Eileen, I truly didn’t expect you could play the bass, and you’re quite good at it.”
Eileen replied with a giggly smile, “I once thought about becoming a rock singer, I…”
Bob, with a mischievous grin, leaned in and said to Eileen, “Hey, Eileen, I…”
But Eileen, landing a punch on Bob’s forehead, angrily said, “Dare to take advantage of me when I’m drunk?
Do you have a death wish?
Go back to your boat, fatso.”
Jack exclaimed loudly, “Hey, hey, it’s not nice to call someone a fatso in front of me, beautiful.”
“Enough!
Everyone shut up!”
Gao Yang shouted, raising both arms, and after calming down the noisy bunch as if they were at a marketplace, he let out a sigh and said, “Listen, we have serious business to attend to.
Jack, do me a favor, get some good guns for Andy He and Jansen.
Can you do that?”
Jack shrugged and said, “Buddy, I’m at a gun show in Philadelphia.
I’ve got plenty of guns, but no automatic weapons.
I don’t want the ATF on my tail.”
The full name of the ATF is the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
Jack could sneakily sell a few automatic rifles that wouldn’t be used in America in his workshop, but if he dared to bring such things to the gun show, he would be sent straight to prison in minutes.
Gao Yang felt a headache forming and said, “I thought I was going to go to Portland to order guns from you, but who knew you would come to Philadelphia.
So, is there a way?”
Jack pondered for a long time before hesitantly saying, “Bob, you got a way?”
Bob snapped his fingers and said to Gao Yang, “Is it urgent?”
“Very urgent, extremely so.”
“What type of gun, and when do you need it?”
Gao Yang looked at Jansen and asked, “Have you decided which rifle to use?”
Jansen shrugged and answered, “I use the HK416, an M4 would also do, as long as it’s reliable.
I like and am accustomed to the look and operation of the M4 gun family.”
Jack smiled and said, “You can place an order with me now, but you won’t be able to use my guns this time.
Even if I had guns to modify, I couldn’t make them in such a short time.
However…”
Bob immediately continued with a grin, “However, you could borrow Simon’s guns.
He just got a batch of guns modified by Jack for his people, right here in Philadelphia.
Six guns, all HK416s but the short-barreled kind.
Oh, and there are pistols too.
I think Simon would be willing to lend them to you.”
Gao Yang snapped his fingers and laughed, “Great, lucky us.
But we have to ask Andy He what kind of gun he’s going to use.
Hey, where’s Andy He?
Someone call him.”
Rafael stepped out of the open door and shouted, “Dragon Knight!
Which room are you in?”
After a moment, Andy He opened a door, only revealing his head, and peered out to see Rafael.
He said loudly, “What’s up?
I drank too much last night and I’m busy with something important right now.”
While Rafael was relaying what Gao Yang had said, a woman’s arm stretched out from the door, draping over Andy He’s shoulder.
Then they heard an impatient female voice saying, “Hurry up, baby, I can’t wait.”
Rafael stuck out his tongue and made a mock shooting gesture at Andy He, who nodded repeatedly and gestured to Rafael to give him ten minutes.
Rafael returned to the room with an expressionless face and shrugged his shoulders, “Andy He is busy; he needs ten minutes.”
“That bastard!”
The crowd cursed in unison, some quite sincerely, while others were simply green with envy.
Jack, looking grumpy, complained, “Why does he get to score with chicks?
I hate Pretty Boys; I hate this superficial world.”
Seeing Cui Bo silently nodding in agreement, Gao Yang, fearing the conversation would veer off topic, hurriedly said, “Alright, we’ll wait for Andy He and see what he chooses.
So, what’s next…
F**k, what do we do next?
Wait for Toad and Little Donnie to come, and wait for Andy He to finish, the bastard!
Bringing a woman here!
I…”
Before Gao Yang could finish, Yelena and Catherine passed by the door of an open room, laughing and talking.
When Yelena saw the group of people inside, she chuckled, “What a lively scene.
Daddy, Gao, what are you guys up to?”
Gao Yang pointed at Bruce, who was surrounded by the crowd, and said hesitantly, “Bruce is buying a car; we’re just watching.
What about you two?
Where are you heading?”
Yelena smiled, “We’re going to Adele’s room.
Did you know?
Their documentary started airing on TV.
Yesterday was the first episode, but we missed it celebrating your birthday, so now we’re going to watch it online.
Don’t you want to come see?”
Gao Yang chuckled, “You go ahead; we still have some things to discuss.”
Just then, Jansen, eyes gleaming, rushed to the door and said eagerly to Catherine, “Hello!
The documentary you narrated is out.
How do you feel about it?”
Catherine gave a faint smile and replied, “Pretty good.”
Jansen hesitated, then stumbled through his words, “So, you and Adele, you’re definitely going to be celebrities.
I was thinking…
uh, could you help me with an advertisement?
Not a TV commercial, but print advertising.
Maybe in the future when our Whiskey sells well, we’ll do TV spots, but for now it’ll just be billboards and such.
Uh, I mean, would you be willing to appear on Whiskey billboards along the road, and also on the packaging boxes?”
After finishing his pitch, Jansen quickly added, “I’ll pay you for the ads.”
Catherine smiled slightly and nodded, “Of course.”
But Yelena tapped Jansen’s shoulder and teased, “I think they would agree, but that depends on whether your Whiskey is as good as you say it is, dear, am I right?”
Yelena’s last question was directed at Gao Yang, who laughed and said, “That’s right, Jansen.
If your family’s whiskey tastes bad, Catherine won’t appear on any billboard.”
Jansen immediately raised his voice, “I promise you, our family’s whiskey is the best Highlands Whiskey!
I’ve already called my father, and he will send some over.
You’ll understand once you try it.”
Yelena didn’t linger, leaving the room with Catherine while laughing.
As Gao Yang thought their discussion couldn’t proceed, his phone rang.
Upon answering, Little Donnie spoke gravely, “Gao, our terms have been met.
Lee and I are on our way; you can gather everyone now.”
Gao Yang hung up the call, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a smile, “Sorry, everyone.
It’s meeting time now.”
Just as the Satan’s were about to discuss business, Jack and Bob quickly left Jansen’s room.
At that moment, both Tommy and Andy He were absent.
Gao Yang scratched his head, wondering, “What’s Tommy doing?”
Glolov also scratched his head and said, “He’s with Vita.”
Gao Yang sighed and asked, “Who’s going to get him?”
Everyone shook their heads, and Rafael waved his hands, saying, “Don’t look at me.
I’ve already interrupted Andy He’s good time; I don’t want to disturb Tommy’s.
Since I’ve already played the bad guy once, one of you go instead.”
Gao Yang clapped his hands and declared, “We’ll draw straws!
Whoever draws the short one is just unlucky, and no cheating!”
A while later, as Little Donnie and Li Jinfang arrived upstairs, Gao Yang, with a grim face, stepped out of Jansen’s room.
Seeing Little Donnie and Li Jinfang climbing the stairs, he pointed grumpily at the door behind him, “Inside, go on in.”
After that, Gao Yang, still with a scowl, went up to Andy He’s door and called out loudly, “Hurry up; it’s time for the meeting.
You’ve got three minutes.”
Upon reaching Tommy’s door, and after making sure it was the right one Glolov had told him, Gao Yang knocked gently and then whispered, “Tommy, Tommy, we’re having a meeting.
Can you come out?” (To be continued.
