Chapter 1477: Chapter 1458: The Birth of a Big Boss
The reason for going to find Shava with Eileen is that a man and a woman walking together is much more discreet than a group of burly men gathering.
Gao Yang changed into casual clothes, carrying only a pistol at his waist, with no other weapons.
It was rare for Eileen to wear what a girl should, quite fashionable, and she wore a wig too, but in her large shoulder bag, she carried a submachine gun and a pistol.
The two quietly left their temporary abode, chatting and laughing on the street like a regular young couple.
In fact, ever since the situation in Kiev began to deteriorate, there had been far fewer pedestrians on the streets, but fortunately, Gao Yang and Eileen didn’t walk far before a taxi stopped in front of them.
The taxi driver was Nikolai. Gao Yang couldn’t find a particularly safe yet inconspicuous car, so he had Nikolai revert to his old trade and drive a taxi to pick them up.
Nikolai found driving very relaxing, earning a handsome salary with little work because Satan hadn’t stayed in Kiev for very long, as for now…
Nikolai drove around in circles several times before finally dropping Gao Yang and Eileen off, and then they walked a bit more before meeting Alyosha, who had come to pick them up.
After embracing Gao Yang, Alyosha whispered, “Shava is waiting for you, come with me.”
After speaking, Alyosha glanced a few times at Eileen, who hadn’t spoken, and only upon Eileen smiling and greeting him did Alyosha exclaim, “Ha, it’s really you, I thought I mistook you for someone else.”
Upon seeing Shava once again, the wound on his neck had almost healed, and he could talk.
“Ram, it’s been a long time.”
Shava’s opening scared Gao Yang, his voice was extremely low and hoarse.
After a brief hug with Shava, Gao Yang frowned and said, “Your voice?”
Shava laughed, a sound terribly harsh like sand scraping in an iron pot, and after laughing twice, he nonchalantly said, “The doctor said my vocal cords are damaged, my voice will never recover. I was startled when I first heard my voice, but I’ve gotten used to it. I think this voice is quite good, don’t you think it sounds authoritative, like a boss speaking?”
Gao Yang chuckled a few times, then said loudly, “Yes, it really does sound like a boss’s voice.”
Shava’s residence was very simple, there wasn’t even a sofa in the room. After bringing over two dining chairs for Gao Yang, Shava sat opposite him, then seriously said, “You must have a reason to find me, tell me what I can do.”
Gao Yang was straightforward, “Are your people still active, or have they stopped?”
Shava spread his hands, and solemnly said, “You told the White Shark Gang not to show their faces temporarily, so most of my business is halted, but my people aren’t just hiding, they’re operating in the dark. After all, if we do nothing, the territory we seized might be lost again.”
Gao Yang nodded, lowering his voice, “I want you to help me with something. You know I am at war with a formidable opponent right now. A lot has happened recently, and I’m facing some difficulties. I can’t track the enemy’s whereabouts, so I want you to mobilize your people to help track down my enemies.”
Shava immediately looked serious, “No problem, I’ll help you find them right away, but you need to tell me who to look for, there must be some characteristics.”
Gao Yang thought for a moment, exhaled, and said helplessly, “The issue is I don’t know how many enemies there are, let alone their characteristics. The broad feature is they’re foreigners. Regardless of their number, they can’t be living together; they’re likely operating in small groups, ranging from five to thirty people. I’ll remind you, these people are extremely dangerous. Finding them must be done secretly.”
Shava stroked his chin, thoughtfully saying, “Actually, it’s not too hard to find. At this time, the groups of foreigners likely coming to Kiev are journalists, people planning to profit off the chaos, and embassy staff.”
Gao Yang softly said, “They might also come separately, and this is quite likely. So during the investigation, it’s best to check if recently any foreigners have gathered together, and they’re definitely a group.”
Shava frowned and asked, “Do you know what language they speak?”
Gao Yang smiled bitterly, “I really don’t know, but they probably won’t speak Ukrainian or Russian.”
Shava waved his hand, smiling, “That’s good enough. Wait here, I’ll immediately have people searching, and inform you as soon as there’s news.”
Gao Yang exhaled and said, “Once there’s information, I’ll have people confirm it. If they’re the people I’m looking for, everything after that will be handled easily. Hmm, you help me with this, and I’ll pay you two million dollars.”
Both Shava and Alyosha widened their eyes, then Shava said in surprise, “For such a small task, you even pay? And so much?”
Gao Yang shook his head helplessly and chuckled, “This is no small matter. This is a matter of life and death for me. You have so many people helping me, so naturally, I have to pay.”
Shava hesitated a bit and said, “But that’s a lot of money. How about you give me a little less?”
Gao Yang waved his hand and said, “By the rules, this amount of money isn’t too much. Shava, you need to be faster, the sooner the better. I’m really anxious to get this information.”
Shava smiled and said, “Ram, you saved my life. I’ve always wanted to repay you.”
Gao Yang smiled, waved his hand, then his face turned serious, and he said solemnly to Shava, “Buddy, your voice is very much like a big shot’s. Now I want to know whether you wish to become a real big shot!”
Shava was taken aback, then said absentmindedly, “What do you mean?”
Gao Yang said slowly, “I mean being a real big shot, turning the White Shark Gang into the biggest gang in all of Kiev, all of Ukraine. Then you start to go legit, venture into business, establish a monopolistic trust, become the uncrowned king of Ukraine, a guest of high-ranking officials, influencing this country from places unseen.”
After Gao Yang finished speaking slowly, Shava was stunned for a long time, then started laughing unpleasantly.
“You must be joking with me.”
Gao Yang shook his head and said solemnly, “What I’m saying, some of it depends on whether you have the ability, but making your White Shark Gang the biggest gang in Kiev, the biggest gang in Ukraine, I can help you achieve that.”
After speaking, Gao Yang sat back, and said in a deep voice, “Now I have the ability and resources to put you in the position of a big shot. It’s just up to you whether you want to or dare to, because accepting my help means we’re on the same boat, and it’s very dangerous, extremely dangerous.”
Without hesitation, Shava stood up and grimly said, “Once I stepped on this path, there’s no fear for me! It’s not that simple to become a big shot. No man would pass up this opportunity, I’m in!”
Gao Yang also stood up, patted Shava on the shoulder, nodded, and said in a deep voice, “Very good, I didn’t misjudge you.”
Gao Yang sat back on the chair, gestured for Shava to sit down as well, then, after pondering for a moment, said in a low voice, “Get me some phones, one hundred of them. Not smartphones, the oldest kind, just able to make and receive calls, but they must be new, and I need one hundred SIM cards as well, all new. They must be purchased from various corners of Kiev, and they absolutely can’t be traceable to real identities. Go and get them for me.”
Shava nodded at Alyosha, who immediately got up and left, and after Alyosha left, Gao Yang extended his hand and said in a low voice, “Give me your phone.”
Shava took out his phone. After Gao Yang got it, he said to Shava in a deep voice, “Do you use this phone often?”
Shava shook his head and said, “No, I just bought it recently. While I’ve been hiding, I’ve only used it to contact Alyosha and them. Except for a few of the people I trust the most, no one knows this number.”
Gao Yang nodded with satisfaction, smiled, and said, “Very good, from now on, use this number to contact me. Also, don’t tell anyone else this number, and don’t use this number unless necessary.”
After speaking, Gao Yang used Shava’s phone to dial Hagel’s number.
After a while, Hagel’s voice came through with a deep tone, “Who’s this.”
Gao Yang chuckled softly, “It’s me, Peter. I have something to tell you. This phone number belongs to a person named Shava. He’s with me, and he has a gang called the White Shark Gang. From now on, I want the White Shark Gang to become the largest gang in Ukraine. If Shava needs help from you, he’ll call you using this number. I hope you can assist.”
Hagel said with great interest, “You’re setting up a local gang? No problem, it’s a small matter. Leave it to me. I’ll help him.”
Gao Yang smiled and said, “On the surface, the White Shark Gang will have nothing to do with me, so future matters of the White Shark Gang will be Shava’s to discuss with you. Of course, I won’t let you work for nothing. Shava will regularly give you your due share.”
Hagel replied happily, “Haha, then thank you.”
“Well then, goodbye.”
After quickly securing a powerful backing for Shava in a few words, Gao Yang smiled and hung up the phone. When returning the phone to Shava, Gao Yang didn’t immediately let go of the phone. Instead, he said seriously, “Take good care of this number. For any trouble you can’t handle, call him. He is one of the most powerful people in this country, but remember, don’t let a second person know of his existence. Keep your lips sealed, understand?”
Shava nodded and said in a deep voice, “I understand, I’m not an idiot.”
Gao Yang released the phone, smiled, and said, “Now go full throttle. Whatever you need, I will provide.” (To be continued.
