Chapter 841: The Eve of the Assassination
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Hanging up the phone, Yang Ming was still sitting on the bench, but Wang Xiaoyan was a bit impatient. If Yang Ming stayed here, then the clubhouse would be empty in a while, she would not be able to take action!
However, there was only this bench for people to rest in the vicinity, and there was no other place to rest. Wang Xiaoyan couldn’t chase Yang Ming away, right?
In desperation, she could only take a step at a time.
Fortunately, it didn’t take long for the security guards who were standing at the entrance of the clubhouse to get busy suddenly. Then, from the clubhouse, a group of people came out and walked to the parking lot next to the clubhouse.
These people were basically the directors of the major casinos. All of them came with their cars, so even if they wanted to go to dinner, they would each drive a car and gather at the meeting place.
Wang Xiaoyan looked at Yang Ming next to her out of the corner of her eyes. At this time, she had to move. If the restaurant was like this clubhouse where there were security guards, and no outsiders could enter, then there would be no chance to take action.
Wang Xiaoyan had made a move, so Yang Ming had no reason to stay. He just couldn’t move with her, and could only observe her from behind. Yang Ming did not want to stop Wang Xiaoyan. For him, Zheng Shaopeng’s life and death had nothing to do with him. Whether Zheng Shaopeng was good or evil, why he assassinated was due to a bounty. This did not matter.
Yang Ming’s purpose was to find out which group Wang Xiaoyan represented. If she really had a relationship with the Black Widow organization, then Yang Ming must also investigate it carefully!
The reason was very simple. Black Widow had sent people to assassinate Yang Ming and Bao Sanli. He didn’t remember when he became enemies with the Black Widow. If he could start with Wang Xiaoyan, he believed that solving this puzzle was not a big problem.
However, just when Yang Ming thought about how to follow behind Wang Xiaoyan, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Yang Ming took out the cell phone and glanced at the caller ID on it; Zhang Bing called. Suddenly, a bad feeling arose.
“Hello? Is there anything the matter?” Yang Ming picked up the phone.
“Bro, something is wrong!” Zhang Bing said in a hurry.
“Something is wrong? What happened?” asked Yang Ming.
“Wang Mei’s parents were kidnapped by Liu Jihao!” Zhang Bing said, “When we arrived at Wang Mei’s home, her parents were no longer there. They only left a note on the table which asked that you, Bro, go get them…”
“Ask me to go get them?” Yang Ming did not know whether to laugh or cry. No matter how I think about it, there is something unlogical about it. The ones who were kidnapped are Wang Mei’s parents, and neither Wang Mei nor Zhang Bing, but this outsider is asked to go?
Even if he guessed that the check was taken by me, the person he is looking for should be Zhang Bing. He could get the check from me through Zhang Bing. Why would he directly look for me?
This made Yang Ming very confused, but it also gave Yang Ming a little bit of peace. After all, it was now a critical period. There were still important things to do on his own side. It was impossible to set aside time.
If Zhang Bing was now in conflict with Liu Jihao’s people, then Yang Ming really didn’t know what to do. But now, it was Liu Jihao who has taken Wang Mei’s parents and asked him to go get them. No matter what, it avoided direct conflict and gave Yang Ming some gap in time.
Since Liu Jihao asked him to go get the parents, Liu Jihao must have a purpose. His purpose was nothing but money, and he wanted to get the check. In this case, Liu Jihao would not harm Wang Mei’s parents.
As he thought of this, Yang Ming comforted Zhang Bing, “If Liu Jihao did this, it must be that he found out about the check, but you don’t have to worry about it. To get the money smoothly, he will not harm Wang Mei’s parents. Those who seek wealth will not look for trouble. You should go back to the hotel first. Let’s discuss the countermeasures tonight.”
Zhang Bing was already anxious. At this moment, after he heard Yang Ming’s analysis, he suddenly calmed down. What Yang Ming said was right. Liu Jihao should only seek fortune. If he simply wanted revenge, he would not leave this so-called note.
“I got it, Bro. I will go back to the hotel with Wang Mei!” Zhang Bing quickly promised.
As he hung up the phone, Zhang Bing told Wang Mei about Yang Ming’s intention. Wang Mei was also slightly relieved. The two people were of no help here, so they went back to the hotel. They would wait for Yang Ming to come back and make a decision.
When Yang Ming answered the phone, Wang Xiaoyan had stopped a taxi on the side of the road and followed the motorcade in front of her from behind. She did not pay attention to the contents of Yang Ming’s phone call. It was better to leave Yang Ming when he answered the phone. This also stopped Yang Ming from asking where she was going.
Yang Ming looked at the car in front of him that had gone a distance. He quickly stopped another taxi waiting at the roadside and asked the driver to follow the cab that Wang Xiaoyan was in.
“Master, could you follow the taxi in front?” Yang Ming got in the car and instructed the driver, “Don’t be too close, so that we wouldn’t be noticed.”
The taxi driver listened to Yang Ming’s words, but he had a vigilant look. He hesitated and said, “I’m afraid this doesn’t abide by the rules. Why are you following the car in front?”
Yang Ming didn’t expect the taxi driver to be quite upright. He actually had such a question. But Yang Ming’s reaction ability was super strong, and his ability to boast was also far ahead. When he was in high school, he spent all his time messing with Chen Mengyan.
“Big brother, in fact, I don’t want you to hide from you. The person in the taxi in front is my girlfriend… We both came from the mainland to travel, but we just quarreled because of differences of opinion. How could I not follow her…? This is an unfamiliar place. I’m really afraid that she will get lost, so I want to follow her from far behind and still not let her notice…” Yang Ming said with a bitter face.
“It turns out to be like this…” The driver saw that Yang Ming was so earnest, so he somewhat believed him. However, the main reason was that when the driver was waiting for a guest, he did see a girl enter the taxi in front. The girl was sitting with Yang Ming before. As to whether the two were boyfriend and girlfriend, and whether there was a quarrel, he didn’t care.
But according to what he saw and what he heard from Yang Ming’s explanation at the moment, it was probably about right. Then he said, “Well, boy, you can rest assured. My skills are not boasted. I can ensure that I will catch up with your girlfriend!”
“Thank you, big brother!” Yang Ming took a hundred yuan from his pocket and put it on the console of the car, “This is a small token of my appreciation…”
Seeing that Yang Ming took out yuan instead of the pataca, the driver was even more convinced that Yang Ming was a visitor from the mainland. It was impossible to be a person with ulterior motives.
…
In the motorcade, Zheng Shaopeng was talking to someone on the cell phone in a black Buick Boulevard sedan.
“Boss, the seminar is over. I’m on the way to the restaurant…” Zheng Shaopeng reported.
“Good. Is that little girl catching up to you?” A male voice asked from the phone.
“She caught up. I saw a taxi following behind the motorcade. It should be her.” Zheng Shaopeng said.
“Very good. Everything is going according to plan! This matter will be handed over to you. Don’t let me down!” said the male voice.
“Don’t worry, boss!” Zheng Shaopeng nodded solemnly.
As he hung up the phone, Zheng Shaopeng took a breather. To be honest, he was not very scared now, but utterly terrified! The person he faced was a professional assassin! Although the boss had sent capable people to his side to deal with the assassin, it was better to be safe than sorry. It was a matter of risking his life. If he were not careful, he would be dead!
However, even so, Zheng Shaopeng did not hesitate to agree to this! Because this was what the boss asked him to do, he must do it! Without the boss, there would be no Zheng Shaopeng, and there would be no achievements today!
Of course, this boss was not the owner of the Huawei Casino. Zheng Shaopeng only had a kind of hired partnership in the Huawei Casino. The owner of the Huawei Casino had no power to dispatch him.
Eight years ago, Zheng Shaopeng was nothing but a gambler. In a gambling game, he was caught cheating on the spot, and they wanted to beat him to death. When Zheng Shaopeng gave up all hope, that person appeared and solved Zheng Shaopeng’s troubles!
That person was the boss on Zheng Shaopeng’s phone! This boss not only solved Zheng Shaopeng’s troubles but also took a fancy to Zheng Shaopeng’s speed and talents in cheating. He taught Zheng Shaopeng a lot of gambling skills. Of course, these stunts were not important. What was important was the boss’ unique training method! It made Zheng Shaopeng’s hand speed reach its limit. His ability to shuffle cards was superb!
Zheng Shaopeng did not know the true identity of the boss, nor did he know what the boss did, but it did not matter. The boss gave him a new life and gave him the wealth and glory of today!
It could be said that if there were no boss, Zheng Shaopeng would already be dead. Even if he did not die, he would still be a small gambler who was nothing. And now, Zheng Shaopeng could do whatever he pleased in the gambling world. He enjoyed whatever he could enjoy, and he had lived whatever material life he could possibly live. It was enough for people to live in this realm.
Therefore, when the boss found Zheng Shaopeng and told him his plan, Zheng Shaopeng almost did not even think about it and decided to cooperate with the boss’ plan.
Zheng Shaopeng closed his eyes and took a deep breath. No matter if it is a success or failure tonight, fight on!
Although Zheng Shaopeng wore a bulletproof vest on his body, bullets could be shot at his head, or when he was in close-contact combat, Zheng Shaopeng would be unable to ward them off. His only hope was on the two bodyguards with him.
These two bodyguards were sent by the boss to replace the two original bodyguards around Zheng Shaopeng. These two people looked very ordinary, but Zheng Shaopeng knew that they must not be simple. How could people around the boss be simple?
