Chapter 979: Who Gets the Best in the Bet?
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“Nothing. One of my high school classmates and I have a bit of a history.” Yang Ming did not know that Wang Xiaoyan did not understand the recent traffic haunting case, so he did not say it so detailed.
However, Wang Xiaoyan did not ask much but just said, “I am sorry about yesterday, causing you not to able to catch him.”
“Forget it. It is nothing. What is the point in catching him?” Yang Ming smiled and said, “It would be better to have a beautiful woman!”
Wang Xiaoyan rolled her eyes at Yang Ming. It’s hard to talk to this guy. He can’t put in three sentences without talking shop[1]. It really makes people angry.
The car was driving on a wide road. Maybe because they were driving and talking, the time passed by so fast that it felt much faster than yesterday. At least, it was not so boring.
Yang Ming still parked the car in yesterday’s spot and looked at the somewhat charming Wang Xiaoyan lying next to him. He couldn’t help but say, “Why don’t we revisit yesterday’s event in the car before we do that reaction test?”
“Yang Ming!” Wang Xiaoyan’s eyes widened. “Aren’t you tired? Do you want to kill me?”
After that, she turned around self-servingly and ignored Yang Ming. Yang Ming looked and found it a little funny, but he shook his head and said, “Let’s go. Get out of the car. I’m joking with you.”
Only then did Wang Xiaoyan sit up lazily and get out of the car reluctantly. However, after getting off, a cold wind blew by, and she was refreshed. She looked at Yang Ming and said, “Do we start now?”
” En , let’s get started now.” Yang Ming looked at his watch and said, “It’s half past one in the morning. At exactly one forty in the morning, you will come to kill me. You should go and prepare for it first.”
“At exactly one forty in the morning? Isn’t that giving you time to prepare? Does this count as a reaction training?” Wang Xiaoyan raised her doubts.
Yang Ming didn’t think so much. Yang Ming said that he wanted to start ten minutes later because he wanted to leave a ten-minute window to predict whether the special ability of foresight would come into effect. He did not consider that much but was caught by Wang Xiaoyan. So he said, “Then ten minutes later, at any time, you can plan it yourself.”
Wang Xiaoyan nodded and said, “Well, then, I am going to prepare.” After that, she disappeared into the darkness in a flash.
Although Yang Ming could see Wang Xiaoyan’s movements, Yang Ming did not use his special ability to scout it. He stood there quietly, closed his eyes, and waited for the special ability of foresight to appear.
According to common sense, if Wang Xiaoyan wanted to assassinate himself in a while, then his special ability should appear.
One minute… two minutes… five minutes… ten minutes! Yang Ming was getting more and more nervous, but the special ability never appeared! Could it be that my guess was wrong? The two times that the special ability appeared was only by chance?
As Yang Ming was thinking about it, Wang Xiaoyan had already started to take action, and Yang Ming suddenly felt a sharp wind behind him, going straight to his back!
Yang Ming didn’t dare to neglect. Although Little Girl Wang’s strength was not great, this was not a competition of strength. An assassin was all about skill and the position of the hit. A punch that didn’t seem to be heavy which hit the *ss versus the head had two completely different results.
Yang Ming’s body turned to the side, dodging Wang Xiaoyan’s blow while Wang Xiaoyan’s other blow came again. Yang Ming wasn’t in the mood to deal with it at the moment, so he hurriedly jumped aside and then shouted, “Stop! Okay. Let’s not train anymore.”
Wang Xiaoyan stopped, puzzled, and looked at Yang Ming. “What happened? Why are we stopping?”
Yang Ming sighed helplessly. There was no special ability of foresight, so there was no need to fight anymore. Yang Ming wanted to test the foresight ability. It was not a reaction ability at all.
“Your speed is far worse than mine. I can’t test any reaction ability at all. I can detect when you make a move.” Yang Ming could only explain it this way. He couldn’t tell Wang Xiaoyan that his special foresight ability didn’t appear, right?
After she heard Yang Ming’s words, Wang Xiaoyan snorted coldly. “I am not as good as you, alright? Otherwise, I would not ask you to join the Black Widow Assassin Group.”
“It’s the Black Butterfly now.” Yang Ming corrected.
“Fine, it’s the Black Butterfly.” Wang Xiaoyan repeated reluctantly. “Since you feel that this training can’t be done, then I will shoot you with a gun. See if you can react in advance!”
With a gun? Yang Ming was slightly surprised. Then he said, “This is great!”
“Great?” Wang Xiaoyan was stunned. Is this Yang Ming stupid? Is it alright to use a gun? This gun is not a joke. If this goes bad, he will lose his life. How can he still say that it is great?
” En , so that’s it!” Yang Ming nodded and said, “You can use a gun.”
Yang Ming naturally knew the danger of guns, but in order to determine the existence of the special ability, Yang Ming decided to take the risk. With his own eyesight and reaction speed, although it was not easy to escape the gunshot from an ambush, it was still possible to ensure that this shot would not hit a vital part of the body.
Wang Xiaoyan saw Yang Ming’s resolute look, so it was inappropriate for her to say anything. She could only say, “Okay, then you wait.”
Wang Xiaoyan once again found a place to hide, but in fact, she did not need to hide. After Yang Ming turned around, he never looked back. She didn’t know what happened to Yang Ming today. He really wanted to do something so crazy. Was he sick?
However, since Yang Ming insisted on doing this, Wang Xiaoyan had no choice but to wait for a while before slowly lifting the lipstick pistol to aim at Yang Ming.
After a long while, Wang Xiaoyan sighed faintly. She really couldn’t take the shot! If it were yesterday, perhaps Wang Xiaoyan really would take the shot. However, now, the relationship between the two was different. Wang Xiaoyan was not a cold-blooded animal, and it was impossible to put Yang Ming in danger.
Wang Xiaoyan was nervous, but Yang Ming was even more nervous. While keeping an eye on the bullets, he had to still pay attention to whether the special ability of foresight would appear in his mind.
However, unfortunately, as before, there was nothing special about it. There was no danger signal in Yang Ming’s mind! Just when Yang Ming was about to be disappointed, suddenly, he heard a gunshot. Yang Ming suddenly burst into shock and quickly concentrated his energy and probed behind him with his special ability. However, he saw a bullet passing over his leg, and it disappeared into the night.
After all, Wang Xiaoyan didn’t make the shot. Although she shot, the gun faced down very low, and she shot it along the edge of Yang Ming’s leg. Wang Xiaoyan didn’t aim at Yang Ming, so this shot naturally was a miss.
“It seems that your reaction ability is not good!” Wang Xiaoyan also broke into a cold sweat, but she pretended to be relaxed in her tone.
Yang Ming shook his head with a bitter smile. It failed; the experiment failed. The special ability that I was looking forward to had not appeared. There weren’t even any signs at all. What is the reason?
Yang Ming frowned. He couldn’t understand it. However, it could only be put aside first because if the experiment continued, there probably would not be any results. Both experiments had failed, so Yang Ming did not intend to test it anymore.
It seemed that if the special ability was not accidental, then he was probably wrong. The triggering condition of the special ability was not as simple as he imagined!
“Don’t try it anymore. Let’s go back.” Yang Ming sighed and said.
“I really can’t understand you. I don’t know what you want to do.” Wang Xiaoyan put away the lipstick pistol and said, “I wasted a bullet. It is a few tens of dollars.”
“Look at you. It’s not like you lack the money.” Yang Ming replied to her.
Wang Xiaoyan smiled faintly. Indeed, this bullet was worth nothing, but it was not good to leave evidence. “Help me find the shell. Although it is remote here, it’s better to be cautious.”
Yang Ming nodded. When he was in Macau, he used this lipstick to kill a few people! Although the two places were separated by a hundred thousand miles, it was best not to have any clues that could be linked so that they wouldn’t be implicated.
Yang Ming had already confirmed the direction of the bullet. Now all he had to do was to search the place where the bullet passed by with his telescopic ability. It was not difficult. Yang Ming found the shell not long after he had this idea.
“You go to turn on the lights. How do you find anything in this pitch-black night?!” Wang Xiaoyan looked around and said in a troubled tone.
” Hehe . Why don’t we have a bet? If I can find the shell in a minute, you have to promise me something.” Yang Ming thought about it and said.
“What is it? Let me hear it first?” Wang Xiaoyan was not stupid. If Yang Ming told her to die, she would not just go and die.
Yang Ming smiled evilly and said a few words in Wang Xiaoyan’s ear.
After Wang Xiaoyan heard it, her face suddenly became red. She frowned and said, “Go to hell. Using the mouth is so dirty!”
“It is a bet. There is always a price to pay.” Yang Ming said it in such a serious way that she almost could not see any lustful expression at all.
“Then, what if you can’t find it in a minute?” Wang Xiaoyan thought about it. Yang Ming’s possibility of finding the shell in a minute should be minimal, so she asked.
“If I can’t find it… If I can’t find it, I will do the same. If I lose, I will help you like that. I don’t think you are dirty…” Yang Ming said as casually. His face was not red, and his heart did not skip a beat. It was like chatting normally.
“Go away!” Wang Xiaoyan was extremely angry. “Isn’t that all to your advantage?”
“Then what do you say? Why don’t you say a condition? If I lose, I’ll listen to you,” Yang Ming said.
“Well, if you can’t find the shell in a minute, I… En , you will listen to me about everything in the future.” Wang Xiaoyan said slyly. If Yang Yong agreed to this condition, it was not a simple condition. It could contain hundreds of conditions! Anyway, as long as it is what I, Wang Xiaoyan, proposed, you have to listen!
Compared to Yang Ming’s condition, Wang Xiaoyan felt that she had many advantages. Anyway, the chances of Yang Ming finding the shell in one minute was zero. Why not gamble on it?
“Fine. It’s a deal!” Yang Ming agreed without thinking.
Seeing that Yang Ming was so happy, Wang Xiaoyan was somewhat confused.This guy has almost no chance of winning. How could he still be so happy? Could it be that there was any conspiracy inside? Am I cheated by him? Are the odds already in his favor?
However, it isn’t right. I shot the bullet. Yang Ming is unlikely to know where the bullet fell! I don’t even know, let alone Yang Ming. What did he mean by this? Could it be that he deliberately pretended to be indifferent?
Yang Ming’s behavior today was really strange. Wang Xiaoyan couldn’t understand it. From the previous reaction training, it was a bit confusing, so it was no surprise at the moment.
“Well, now, I will give you some time to prepare. When you are ready, just let me know, and I will start timing it,” said Wang Xiaoyan.
“Then let’s start now,” said Yang Ming.
“Start now? Don’t you want to turn on the lights to shine on that side?” Wang Xiaoyan said, “I have reminded you. Don’t you find an excuse when you lose!”
Yang Ming suddenly smiled bitterly after listening. “Am I am such a person? You have said this sentence many times since yesterday. Let’s start now.”
“Since you say this, let’s get started.” Wang Xiaoyan took out the phone, brought out the stopwatch app, and then pressed the start button. She said “start” in her mouth!
Yang Ming casual swayed to the front. Even Wang Xiaoyan saw it. She was somewhat anxious for him. Could it be that this guy already knows that he has lost and is about to give up?
In this case, even if he won, Wang Xiaoyan would feel that she had lost her face. It seemed that Yang Ming deliberately lost to her. This is not good. Just forget about this bet! Yang Ming doesn’t seem to be normal today. Let’s just assume that he is not normal and is going crazy.
Wang Xiaoyan was about to speak, but she saw Yang Ming stop at a distance and bend down. He reached out like he was picking up something from the ground.
Wang Xiaoyan suddenly widened her eyes and stared at Yang Ming without blinking. She only saw Yang Ming stand up again and raise his hand. There seemed to be something metallic in his hand, and there was a slight glow in the moonlight.
“Found it!” Yang Ming waved to Wang Xiaoyan and said with excitement, “We haven’t reached one minute yet, right?”
He really found it? Wang Xiaoyan felt that her brain short-circuited in a moment. How could it be so fast? She looked at the phone in her hand. It just passed thirty seconds, and it really didn’t take a minute!
“How did you find it? Wouldn’t you just simply take a shell to fool me?” Because Yang Ming found it too quickly, Wang Xiaoyan had to suspect that the guy cheated. “Let me give you a prior statement. This time, the bullets are different from those in Macau. I know the serial number on it. Don’t fool me with the previous shell.”
” Hehe , rest assured. How can I have that leisure?” Yang Ming juggled the shell in the air and walked over there. He went to Wang Xiaoyan and handed the shell to her.
