Chapter 1304: Seeing the Behind-The-Scenes Boss Again
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Although there was a relations.h.i.+p between Yang Ming and w.a.n.g Xiaoyan, w.a.n.g Kejin didn’t pledge allegiance to w.a.n.g Xiaoyan but to w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s father.
Therefore, Yang Ming couldn’t request anything from w.a.n.g Kejin, and he wouldn’t want w.a.n.g Kejin to listen to his command. Although Yang Ming could completely suppress w.a.n.g Kejin with his skills, w.a.n.g Kejin was an a.s.sa.s.sin, and he would not succ.u.mb to the powerful.
“This saves you from taking action.” Yang Ming smiled. “You can also explain it to your side.”
w.a.n.g Kejin was embarra.s.sed after being told this by Yang Ming. He replied with an awkward smile, “No. I saw that Mr. Yang first entered Sui’s Group, so I changed my mind. You must have looked for Sui Yuejin for something important, so then I couldn’t kill him…”
“Oh? If you didn’t kill him, can you explain it to your side?” Yang Ming looked at w.a.n.g Kejin’s expression, and it didn’t seem fake, so he was somewhat puzzled.
“I will ask for further instructions.” w.a.n.g Kejin said, “The patriarch also knows Mr. Yang. At least, it could be postponed until the end of the matter before taking action.”
After Yang Ming listened to w.a.n.g Kejin’s words, he also knew that w.a.n.g Kejin would not lie on this issue because there was no need to, so he concentrated on watching the images on the TV screen.
Yang Ming walked around at the door of the Sui’s Group building. After he found out that a security guard was at the door, Yang Ming left Sui’s Group. At that time, Yang Ming found it difficult to enter from the main entrance, so he chose to climb into the building from the side. Of course, most probably, w.a.n.g Kejin was also aware of Yang Ming’s action plan.
After a short while, Yang Ming appeared again at the Sui’s Group building’s door. This was the image of Yang Ming coming out from the inside, and the security guards on duty by the door sent him on his way. This time, Yang Ming walked out openly because of Sui Yuejin’s command. Therefore, these security guards treated Yang Ming as an important guest of Sui Yuejin.
“Not long after Mr. Yang left, someone entered the Sui’s Group building.” w.a.n.g Kejin pointed to the screen and said, “Please look carefully, this person is about to appear.”
Yang Ming held his breath. He was a little excited that he was about to see the true face of this person. Although there had been some speculation, all this should be tricks played by the behind-the-scenes boss. After all, it was only speculation, and there was no actual confirmation.
On the screen, a figure appeared, and Yang Ming’s breathing became rushed.* It is confirmed! It can be confirmed!* Although it was not very clear, and w.a.n.g Kejin’s shot of the surroundings were somewhat dim, this face had been deeply imprinted in Yang Ming’s memory. This face looked a little ordinary but was always against him.
Yang Ming was not sure whether this person was the behind-the-scenes boss himself, but he was certain that this person was definitely the backbone of the behind-the-scenes boss’ organization. Huang Youcai’s status should not be low-ranking. It could be seen from the incident of them cooperating with Alice that if they were not in a high position, they could not have a face-to-face conversation with Alice.
In Yang Ming’s opinion, Alice was undoubtedly a high-ranking person in the behind-the-scenes boss’ organization. After all, Alice’s ident.i.ty was there. If they were not the organization’s higher-ups, the matter would not progress to this degree. With that, the people in the organization would be afraid of them.
“Does Mr. Yang know this person?” w.a.n.g Kejin noticed Yang Ming’s expression was unnatural, so he asked.
Yang Ming didn’t hide it either. He nodded. “Yes, it’s this person. The organization behind him has repeatedly gone against Yanyan and me. That situation in Macau and the a.s.sa.s.sination attempt in Yanyan’s villa were planned by this person. Moreover, the incident of Sui Yuejin and Tian Long was probably also planned by him behind-the-scenes.”
“Oh?” w.a.n.g Kejin suddenly frowned when he heard that this person actually wanted to harm w.a.n.g Xiaoyan. “If I knew this, I would not have let him go.”
Yang Ming shook his head. “Seeing how so many people in the Sui’s Group were all wiped out, you can see that this person is not someone to be trifled with. It’s hard to say whether you can hold him or not.”
“Not necessarily…” w.a.n.g Kejin was not convinced.
“Hehe, even I can’t guarantee that I can hold him.” Yang Ming glanced at w.a.n.g Kejin and said, “Back then, the death warrior that was sent here was not mediocre. It also took a lot of effort to kill her.”
w.a.n.g Kejin’s skill was a lot worse than Yang Ming’s. When he heard that even Yang Ming wasn’t sure whether he could hold this person on the screen, he was not confused anymore. He couldn’t be more powerful than Yang Ming, so he felt a little more balanced in his heart.
“I was too arrogant.” w.a.n.g Kejin took the initiative to admit his mistake.
Yang Ming waved his hand. He was not w.a.n.g Kejin’s superior, so w.a.n.g Kejin did not need to apologize to him. He probably did so because of w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s face. “I am pretty certain that this is the person who killed Sui Yuejin.”
“Yes, it is him.” w.a.n.g Kejin nodded and said, “These are just what I recorded outside the building. There are surveillance videos in the security room inside the building.”
“Oh? Surveillance video? Wasn’t the surveillance video taken away by this person after the incident?” Yang Ming looked at w.a.n.g Kejin with some doubts. It proved that the surveillance video should be in the hands of the behind-the-scenes boss when the tape of him appeared in the hands of the Mount Jing police.
“Yes, this person took the hard disk in the security room surveillance video recorder, but what he didn’t expect was a data backup machine in the cabinet next to it,” said w.a.n.g Kejin.
“Oh? The Sui’s Group actually has a data backup machine?” Yang Ming obviously heard about data backup machines. The so-called data backup machine was used to back up the data of the surveillance video recorder.
Because the images were recorded continuously, the magnetic head of the hard disk in the surveillance video recorder was always working. Even the best server-cla.s.s hard drive could fail at any time.
Therefore, to prevent this kind of accident, the company responsible for installing the surveillance system would usually set up a data backup machine. That was to say, at regular intervals, the surveillance machine would transfer the data to the backup machine for backup.
In this way, even if the hard disk in the monitoring machine was broken, the data was still in the backup device. The problem of the surveillance data not being found would not occur.
But in fact, few companies in the country would adopt this approach. After all, this would increase the cost and the cost of maintenance. Most domestic enterprises would not retain the content of the surveillance data and would erase it every so often.
Therefore, most of the surveillance video installation companies would periodically refresh the hard drives of their customers during the warranty period. This would reduce the failure rate. Before the hard drives broke, they would be replaced with new ones.
These companies would naturally have the means of deceiving the manufacturer. It was not difficult to make a false impression of non-human damage during the warranty period. The replacement also did not require any cost. Instead, they could charge the customer a certain maintenance fee. What could they have against it?
However, in some foreign companies, data backup machines were still widely used. In general, the host used for the backup would not be too far away from the monitor. It might be placed beside it.
“Yes, there is a data backup machine in Sui’s Group.” w.a.n.g Kejin nodded affirmatively. “I found this data backup machine in the file cabinet on the side.”
Yang Ming was a little delighted and praised, “I didn’t expect you to be so careful. This is a good clue.”
w.a.n.g Kejin was embarra.s.sed after being praised by Yang Ming. He explained, “Previously, I saw a similar thing in a foreign company. They also put the data backup machine in the file cabinet. After careful inspection, I found out that it was a computer cabinet. It just looks like a file cabinet on the surface.”
If it weren’t because of w.a.n.g Kejin’s previous mission where he found this secret unintentionally, perhaps he would suffer. So, when w.a.n.g Kejin entered Sui’s Group this time and saw a similar filing cabinet there, he had to open it to see what it was.
w.a.n.g Kejin did not continue to talk about this. After all, he almost failed.
“Where is the hard drive?” asked Yang Ming.
“I just gave it to the Miss.” w.a.n.g Kejin glanced at w.a.n.g Xiaoyan and replied.
“It’s on the side of my desktop computer upstairs. I used the interconnecting device to copy the data into the computer.” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan said, “By now, it should be copied. Let’s go and see.”
“I won’t go. Miss and Mr. Yang can go.” Upstairs was w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s boudoir. It was naturally inconvenient for w.a.n.g Kejin to go upstairs to avoid arousing suspicion.
“Let’s go together. What’s the problem? I can even ask you directly.” Yang Ming didn’t think so much and invited w.a.n.g Kejin.
w.a.n.g Kejin looked at w.a.n.g Xiaoyan with some difficulty; he didn’t know if he should go up.
“The computer is in the study. You can go up together too.” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan naturally understood what w.a.n.g Kejin was worried about. The b.u.t.terfly Family had a lot of rules; they were not allowed to enter private rooms casually. Entering the family members’ rooms would result in severe punishment.
The study and other places could not be entered without an invitation, so w.a.n.g Kejin was very hesitant. However, since w.a.n.g Xiaoyan agreed that w.a.n.g Kejin could go up together, w.a.n.g Kejin would naturally not have any concerns.
The three of them went upstairs together. w.a.n.g Kejin performed very well. He looked calm and did not dare to look around casually. He entered the study with Yang Ming and w.a.n.g Xiaoyan.
w.a.n.g Xiaoyan sat in front of the computer, and Yang Ming sat next to her. w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s computer chair was a long bench that could seat several people at the same time, but w.a.n.g Kejin naturally could not be crowded with Yang Ming and w.a.n.g Xiaoyan, so he stood beside them.
w.a.n.g Xiaoyan glanced at the information on the computer; all the copies were successful. The video material was opened, and she watched it with Yang Ming and w.a.n.g Kejin.
Before Yang Ming came, w.a.n.g Xiaoyan had seen it before, but she watched it from that hard disk. It was not yet copied; now, it was copied to her computer.
“Mr. Yang, I really admire you. I didn’t know how you avoided all the surveillance cameras. There was not a single image of you going upstairs.” w.a.n.g Kejin also watched this surveillance video several times before, but he couldn’t find any flaws. Yang Ming seemed to appear directly in Sui Yuejin’s office; his figure was not seen in the video.
However, w.a.n.g Kejin also knew that Yang Ming was not a ghost, and it was impossible to fly directly to Sui Yuejin’s office. Since Yang Ming’s figure was not seen in the surveillance video, it could only be said that Yang Ming was too powerful, and he was good at calculating the intervals between the switching of the monitoring screen.
“There’s no problem once the time and sequence of the surveillance camera switching were studied. It’s not difficult.” Yang Ming waved his hand and didn’t want to say anything more.
w.a.n.g Kejin thought that Yang Ming was being modest. Although everyone knew this principle, it was hard to do it. w.a.n.g Kejin knew that he couldn’t do it.
When Yang Ming went downstairs, he did not evade the camera but went downstairs in an open manner. He was sent out by the security guard on duty at the door.
Then came the man who was suspected to be the behind-the-scenes boss. At present, Yang Ming was not sure whether he was the behind-the-scenes boss himself. He could only address him as the behind-the-scenes boss suspect.
On the screen, there was no sound recorded, and Yang Ming couldn’t see his lips. It was unknown what he said to the security guard on duty at the door. The security guard actually let him in!
The following picture became blank. Obviously, before the hard disk data in the surveillance video recorder was able to synchronize with the data backup machine, it was removed by the black-s.h.i.+rted man suspected of being the behind-the-scenes boss.
However, after he removed the hard disk in the surveillance video recorder, the data backup machine directly took over the data recording work. When the data backup machine determined that the surveillance video recorder had a problem, it temporarily a.s.sumed the function of the data recorder.
Although it could not be seen how the black-s.h.i.+rted man entered the security room, it had the scene of him shooting into Sui Yuejin’s chairman’s office, which was enough to prove that he killed Sui Yuejin!
Yang Ming was immediately a little excited. What was thought to be a complicated case had become much easier with w.a.n.g Kejin’s video. He could just give this videotape to his peers in Mount Jing, and then he could get a warrant from the police.
With that, regardless of whether he was the behind-the-scenes boss or not, he would become a stray dog, and it might be difficult for him to go out in the future. As long as he appeared in public, he might be noticed by others.
“w.a.n.g Kejin, you helped me a lot this time. This guy would most likely not have it easy once this video is in the police’s hands. He might not be able to go out in the future, so he won’t have the intention of harming Yanyan and me.” Yang Ming stood up and patted w.a.n.g Kejin’s shoulder.
“Mr. Yang, don’t say that. It is my duty to help the Miss do things.” w.a.n.g Kejin didn’t dare to be proud of himself. Yang Ming also said that this person couldn’t go out, so he couldn’t harm w.a.n.g Xiaoyan. Therefore, w.a.n.g Kejin thought this was what he should do.
Yang Ming did not say anything else, but he had already recorded this camaraderie secretly. In the future, if w.a.n.g Kejin encountered some troubles that he could not solve, Yang Ming would be obliged to help.
“Let’s not waste any time. Erase the image of w.a.n.g Kejin entering Sui’s Group, just keep the ones from in front. There’s no need to cut off my part, just directly copy it. I will go to Mount Jing now,” said Yang Ming.
“Okay.” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan nodded and started to work. It was a simple computer operation. It was not complicated, so w.a.n.g Xiaoyan could handle it easily.
w.a.n.g Xiaoyan burned the captured video on a DVD. Yang Ming picked up the DVD and did not linger. “I will leave first. This matter is more urgent. I will come back to you tonight.”
“Don’t… Sister Ying is coming.” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan quickly waved and refused, “You must never come.”
“Alright, I’ll find another time.” Yang Ming did not care, nodded, and made a “?” gesture. “Keep in contact at any time.”
……
The reason why Yang Ming was so anxious to go to Mount Jing was that the behind-the-scenes boss had set up a few schemes on him. Although he also counter-attacked, he always couldn’t hurt the behind-the-scenes boss’ vitality.
But this time, it was different. As soon as the warrant was issued, the suspected behind-the-scenes boss would most probably not dare to do anything in the open again and stop for a while.
Yang Ming had a lot of matters in his hands, and he was not entirely ready to fight with the behind-the-scenes boss. Elder You’s matter was not handled well yet, so Yang Ming couldn’t be distracted.
Driving directly to Mount Jing, Yang Ming also didn’t care whether he was speeding or not. Things were too big, and there was no time to pay attention to these things, but fortunately, the traffic police in Song Jiang knew the background of Yang Ming’s car and did not block it. After entering the Jingsong Expressway, no one was in charge, so Yang Ming brought the speed of his car to the extreme.
Finally, he had the opportunity to cause trouble for the behind-the-scenes boss. Needless to say, Yang Ming was particularly excited. The feeling of being led by the nose was very uncomfortable; Yang Ming didn’t like it. Now that he could lead the behind-the-scenes boss by the nose, Yang Ming certainly had to hurry.
Exiting the Jingsong Expressway, at the exit of the toll booth, the traffic police on duty looked at Yang Ming’s car and did not block it; he was released directly. Yang Ming’s speeding video on the expressway should have been circulated in the Mount Jing territory. Yang Ming’s car had a Cla.s.s A pa.s.s issued by Captain Yang. It was the highest level of official pa.s.ses. The police of Mount Jing recognized this pa.s.s and naturally would not intercept Yang Ming’s car.
All the way to the Mount Jing police station, it was the same. The guards at the entrance of the Mount Jing police station also saw the pa.s.s on Yang Ming’s car, so they did not block him but directly released him. However, Yang Ming was blocked when he was going upstairs.
“Who are you looking for? Register here.” The police officer who was on duty in the office building stopped Yang Ming.
“I am looking for Captain Yang of the Criminal Investigation Team,” said Yang Ming.
“Oh? Why are you looking for him? Have you contacted him beforehand?” asked the policeman.
“Not yet. I will call him now.” Yang Ming quickly took out his phone to call but was stopped by the policeman on duty.
“No, I have an inner line here. What is your name? I will ask for you.” The police officer on duty asked Yang Ming.
“You tell him that my name is Yang Ming, and he will know.” Yang Ming nodded and said, “Sorry to bother you.”
