Gao Yang had hoped that Number Thirteen would find some more cannon fodder, but after pondering for a long time, Number Thirteen dejectedly said, “My social circle is too narrow.
I can’t find those low-level thugs, so I still have to find some cleaners to help arrange a few cannon fodders.”
Regarding the use of cannon fodders and their sources, Gao Yang decided not to intervene.
He shrugged and said, “Then just go find them.”
Number Thirteen gave a bitter smile and said, “I just went to Chinatown, it was a personal suggestion from the liaison officer there, free of charge, but if they help to directly arrange the cannon fodder, it would be different, that would mean they’re getting involved ahead of time, and they would charge a lot.”
“How much would they charge?” asked Gao Yang.
“Starting from ten million dollars, that’s the rule…”
Gao Yang gasped and said, “F**k, that’s really not cheap.
Just ten million for some cannon fodder after all the cleanup?”
“I told you, that’s the rule, and the rule is the rule…”
Gao Yang fell silent and after a while, he helplessly said, “Our money needs to be spent where it’s useful.
Just for some cannon fodders, I don’t think it’s worth it.
What if we find them ourselves?”
Number Thirteen shrugged and said, “Of course, the only requirement is that they need to shoot at Tomler when it’s time to charge out.
I don’t expect them to actually kill Tomler.
If Tomler were to be killed by some low-level thugs, what value would our existence have?”
Gao Yang thought about it and said, “Hmm, yesterday when I met you, I took a cab.
That driver seemed to have connections with a gang called Bird Gang.
How about I try to reach out to him?”
Number Thirteen thought for a moment and said, “Bird Gang?
Never heard of it, but if you think they would dare to make a move, that’s fine.”
Gao Yang thought for a moment and said, “I don’t know, but compared to spending ten million dollars, I think it’s better to give it a try.
Yeah, the Bird Gang should be a black gang, at least they fit our requirement in terms of skin color.”
Number Thirteen smiled and said, “Good, they dare to do anything, give it a try, there are always many people who want money more than life.”
Gao Yang actually still had that taxi driver’s phone number, but he wouldn’t use his own phone to call.
Gao Yang reached out his hand to Number Thirteen and said, “Let me borrow your phone.”
Number Thirteen took out his phone and said, “Feel free, this number is registered under the army, it will be discarded after the operation, feel free to leak it.”
After sharing a smile with Number Thirteen, Gao Yang dialed the taxi driver’s number, and soon, a cheerful voice said, “Hey, I’m Fat Harry, who is this?”
Gao Yang whispered, “Hello Harry, I was your passenger yesterday, remember me?”
“Oh, hey, brother, glad you called, what’s up?
I’m happy to help you, really, just say the word, brother.”
Gao Yang thought for a moment, whispered, “Yesterday you mentioned you might have some connections with Bird Gang, here’s the thing, I have some trouble that needs to be taken care of, and I’m new to New York and don’t know many people.
Um, I want to know if Bird Gang is really powerful, and if they could take money to do some work for me.”
Harry’s voice became extremely excited and said, “Brother, we’re like brothers, listen to me, brother, hold on a moment, don’t hang up.”
Gao Yang heard a sharp screech of brakes over the phone, followed by Harry shouting loudly, “Get out!
Please get out!
I have urgent matters to attend to, no charge for your ride, ladies, please get out, quickly!
Don’t dawdle.”
After a brief pause, Harry continued in a cheerful voice, “Brother, now I can tell you, Bird Gang is absolutely very powerful, really, very powerful!
They can help you do anything!”
Then, lowering his voice, Harry mysteriously said, “They can even help you kill people!
Trust me, as long as you can pay enough money, they can help you do anything!”
Gao Yang chuckled and said, “Great, introduce them to me, what’s your fee?”
“I have a good relationship with Bird Gang, brother.
With my introduction, you can get anything done!
What do you think about five thousand dollars?”
“Okay, five thousand dollars, I’m in Chinatown, could you come pick me up?
We can go now.”
Harry was in Manhattan, and after waiting half an hour, Harry arrived.
Seeing Gao Yang, a wealthy client, from a distance, Harry rolled down his car window before parking right in front of Gao Yang.
Stepping out of the car, Harry, from a distance, held out his fist and laughed loudly, “Hi, brother, how are you?
We meet so soon!”
Gao Yang extended his fist and bumped it against Harry’s, then smiled and said, “Where are we headed?
It’s quite urgent, I want to sort this out quickly.”
Harry laughed heartily and said, “We’re heading there now, but, brother…”
Gao Yang pulled out a stack of money and placed it in Harry’s hand, then smiled, “One thousand dollars now, the rest after the deal is done.”
“Get in the car!
Let’s go, brothers, we need to head to Brooklyn District!”
The taxi weaved through the traffic as Fat Harry, visibly excited, drove swiftly until they reached a Black community in Brooklyn District.
People were idly chatting in small groups throughout the community; when the taxi stopped next to a basketball court in the community, it didn’t attract much attention.
However, as Gao Yang and Number Thirteen got out of the car, many sitting near the basketball court immediately fixed their eyes on them, and almost instantly, someone stood up and walked toward them.
Fat Harry got out from the driver’s seat and confidently put his arm around Gao Yang’s shoulders, loudly saying, “Come with me, everything’s fine, these guys are all my brothers.
Follow me, don’t worry.”
Seeing Fat Harry, no one approached further, while Fat Harry kept waving and greeting people, showing his familiarity with them.
Finally, Harry called out to a tall man, who had just completed a slam dunk on the basketball court, “Byrd, Byrd, come here, brother, come here!”
The tall man walked over, glanced at Gao Yang and Number Thirteen, and after completing a complicated handshake with Fat Harry, he asked in a low voice, “What’s up?”
Fat Harry lowered his voice and said, “Got a business opportunity, big business, let’s walk and talk.”
Byrd, clearly distrusting Gao Yang and his group, said cautiously, “I smell cops around, brother, I hope you guys aren’t here to cause trouble.”
Harry quickly reassured, “Byrd, don’t you trust me?
These guys are my good brothers, really, they aren’t cops.
I vouch for them, trust me.”
Gao Yang cleared his throat and said, “I’m indeed here for a big deal, I don’t have much time to waste.
If you trust us, we can talk; otherwise, I can disappear right now.”
Byrd still looked wary and asked, “What do you want?
Drugs?
Or unregistered guns?”
Gao Yang shook his head and said, “I need you to teach someone a lesson, and I’m willing to pay a hefty price for it.”
Byrd’s expression became more amiable; requesting someone be taught a lesson was not a tactic undercover cops would use.
Byrd punched his fist in front of Gao Yang and after bumping fists, Byrd smiled and said, “Good, let’s talk.”
In a quiet corner by the basketball court, Byrd spread his hands and asked, “So, who do you want to teach a lesson to?”
Gao Yang touched his nose, hesitated, then whispered, “A wealthy man, there’s some business conflict with me.
I want him gone, but it’s challenging, he’s got bodyguards.”
Byrd grinned proudly, made a money-twirling gesture with his finger, and laughed, “Buddy, bodyguards?
That’s different; you’d need to spend a lot of money!”
The fact that big money was needed, not rejected, made Gao Yang lift his head and say seriously, “This job won’t work with just a few people, because that guy has four or five bodyguards.
You need to think this through.
Also, how much do you want?”
After pondering for a while, Byrd stretched out two fingers, his face stern, “Two hundred thousand US dollars, nothing less.”
Number Thirteen smirked, but he wasn’t laughing, and Byrd, thinking Number Thirteen thought the amount was too high, said softly, “You’ll find this money well spent!”
Gao Yang seemed hesitant for a moment, then whispered, “But the man I want to kill is quite formidable, and he’s wealthy too.
Are you sure you won’t back out when the time comes?”
Byrd pointed at the people on the basketball court, boastfully saying, “Buddy, see?
People die here every day, and I have many brothers.
Any one of them would dare to blow your brains out with a gun.”
Gao Yang shrugged and said, “Buddy, your job site might be outside Brooklyn, possibly in Manhattan or on the way to Long Island.
Any problem with that?”
After a brief hesitation, Byrd nodded and said, “No problem, absolutely no problem.
You give the money, I’ll provide the gunmen to eliminate your enemy!”
Gao Yang thought it over and decided to add another layer of insurance; he whispered, “If there are too many people, or if it’s indeed impossible to kill him, there’s another way.
Get more people to fire a few shots at the target, even if they can’t kill him, scaring him is also good.
Even if he stays inside his car, shooting it several times will surely terrify him.
Of course, if that’s the case, well, I’ll pay you up to one hundred thousand, deal?”
Byrd smiled and said, “No problem, I agree!”
Gao Yang waved his hand and said, “As per the rules, payment after the job is done.
But to ease your doubts, I’ll pay ten thousand dollars as a down payment.
Wait for my call to act, okay?”
Byrd was very satisfied, laughing and saying, “You’re truly a good brother, you’ve thought of everything I want, what can I say?
All right, it’s a deal, brother!”
After giving Byrd ten thousand dollars in cash, they got into Harry’s car and returned to Chinatown.
When they got off, Gao Yang gave Harry an additional four thousand dollars.
After Harry had driven off, all excited, Number Thirteen couldn’t help but say, “That fat guy needs to be disposed of afterward to silence him, and those guys, they won’t get the chance to get their final payment.
Ten thousand dollars for five lives, that’s way too cheap.”
Gao Yang shrugged and said, “What can I say?
I have nothing to add.
Alright, the fodder’s dealt with, now where do we find a somewhat better assassin?”
Number Thirteen said sternly, “Don’t worry about it, I’ll handle it.
I know some rookies in the business, they’ll suit well as higher-grade fodder.”
