Chapter 527: Zhao Ying’s Call
Translator: VinceStar Editor: PrisMiko
As soon as the screen prompted: Your payment has been received. Your order has been submitted to the company’s agenda… Guo Jinbiao was relieved.
After losing contact for a few years, the Black Widow Vengeance Company had also become more modern so they could prevent the payer’s information from being found. It seemed that they also took into account the privacy of the customer.
…
Yang Ming unexpectedly received a call from Zhao Ying. What’s the relations.h.i.+p between them? It couldn’t be said that it was very harmonious. Although they could laugh together when they met up, Yang Ming had already felt that there was a gap between them.
Just like usual, they rarely talked on the phone. They occasionally met on campus, said h.e.l.lo to each other and chitchatted for a while.
Today, Zhao Ying took the initiative to call him. This made Yang Ming’s mind start to get excited again.
“Sister Ying, are you home?” Yang Ming answered the phone.
” En , I have arrived.” Zhao Ying’s tired voice came from the phone. “I’ve only just arrived, and I got off the train. I’m a little tired.”
” En , then you should rest well, Sister Ying.” Yang Ming smiled and said, “Yours even included a sleeper. For those who bought a hard seat or even a standing ticket, aren’t they going to be exhausted?”
“I’m a girl!” Zhao Ying complained with a smile.
Zhao Ying’s tone had moved Yang Ming. Now Zhao Ying had completely lost the teacher’s ident.i.ty. She was now a lively young girl who occasionally acted coquettishly, and this made Yang Ming enchanted.
This kind of feeling was very enjoyable. The distance between Yang Ming and Zhao Ying became closer – from teacher and student to siblings, and then to the present Zhao Ying who acted coquettishly to him. This was just like the feeling of a younger sister.
Although the relations.h.i.+p between the two people had become alienated, in fact, essentially their relations.h.i.+p had become closer than before.
“What’s the matter?” Yang Ming thought that for Zhao Ying to call him, and from such a far distance, It should be more than just flirting, right?
“I just have something to trouble you a little… Yang Ming, you won’t refuse your sister, right?” Zhao Ying hesitated, then asked.
“What are you saying? It’s no trouble at all. Say it if there’s anything.” For Zhao Ying, Yang Ming was obliged to help. Zhao Ying gave him love and care in the past, and the most important thing was trust. That deep friends.h.i.+p could never be repaid in this life.
“This is the case. My father and mother are getting old. I bought two pairs of pillows for them, and they are placed in the house where I used to live. When I left, I forgot to take them.” Zhao Ying said with some embarra.s.sment, “Can you pick them up and send them to my home?”
“It’s okay. No problem! But I don’t have the key. How can I get into your house? Is anyone there?” asked Yang Ming.
” Yah … I don’t know if w.a.n.g Xiaoyan is still there. It’s New Year. She should have gone home, too.” Zhao Ying was shocked listening to Yang Ming’s question and suggested, “How about this? You go to my dormitory and get the room key. I put the key in the second drawer of my desk. When you open it, there is a small cosmetic case. The key is inside.”
“The key question is, is anyone in your dormitory?” Yang Ming was a little dumbfounded. Now the whole school is on vacation, right?
” Aiya , I will give you a mobile number. It’s my dormitory sister. You should call her first to see if she is in Song Jiang. If not, you can find the old lady manager in the dormitory. Ask her to open the door for you. If not, you can call me again.” Zhao Ying said.
“No way. Is it so troublesome?” Yang Ming had some headaches after listening.
“Why? Are you complaining it’s too troublesome?” Zhao Ying laughed.
“Nothing. Who made the relations.h.i.+p between us abnormal?” Yang Ming said paradoxically.
“…” Zhao Ying was speechless for a while, but her heart was still slightly happy. “Thank you, then.”
“Don’t worry…” Yang Ming nodded and promised. But he wasn’t going to do what Zhao Ying said. The ways Zhao Ying told him were too c.u.mbersome. He had to find the girl in her dormitory. Then, he needed to take the key. After that, he could only open the door to the place that Zhao Ying rented. Wasn’t this purely looking for trouble? Yang Ming was best at picking the door lock. It would be just a small security door. He could open it even without a key.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Ming first called Hou Zhenhan.
“Big Hou, how are the things over there? Does Guo Jinbiao have any movement?” inquired Yang Ming.
“According to the spy we placed in Jidun City, Guo Jinbiao didn’t have any movement. He’s just like submitting to humiliation.” Hou Zhenhan reported.
” Oh ?” Yang Ming frowned after listening. “It shouldn’t be. Guo Jinbiao has been in the underworld for so many years. He isn’t the kind of person who can submit to humiliation. If he didn’t react, then we can suspect that he has another conspiracy. You have to be careful against him…”
“I also think this is a bit strange, but there are several of our own people in Jidun City. If there is any movement on their side, I’ll be the first person who receives the news.” Hou Zhenhan nodded. “But now, they aren’t going to do anything, so we don’t have to pay too much attention to it.”
“Okay, then you need to be careful…” Yang Ming didn’t say anything more. Although he felt that something was wrong, he couldn’t say what was wrong with it. Perhaps Guo Jinbiao was waiting for the best time to strike. Now it was still the start of the year. It wasn’t a good time.
“I know, Brother Yang. You can rest a.s.sured.” Hou Zhenhan said, “Brother Yang, is there anything else?”
“Nothing… No, you wait…” Yang Ming suddenly had a thought come to his mind as he remembered the methods he utilized to deal with the Four Snakes Gang!
a.s.sa.s.sination! In Yang Ming’s mind suddenly such a word appeared! Yes, Guo Jinbiao can do the same! If I was Guo Jinbiao, I can’t lead all the underlings to invade Song Jiang City at this time, but I can’t take this humiliation. What should I do? The best way is to send a powerful man to Song Jiang to secretly kill Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan.
Firstly, it’s easier to get it done. Secondly, it’s also a deterrent! Moreover, even if the action fails, he can pull himself out of the situation! It’s really the best of both worlds.
“What’s wrong, Brother Yang?” asked Hou Zhenhan.
“I’m afraid that Guo Jinbiao would secretly send people to trouble you. You and Bao Sanli need to be careful for a while. Don’t fall into his trap.” Yang Ming warned.
“Don’t worry, Brother Yang. Are you’re still worried about my skills?” Hou Zhenhan laughed.
“In short, be careful.” Yang Ming also knew that Hou Zhenhan’s skill was good, but compared with a real a.s.sa.s.sin, it wasn’t worth mentioning.
However, Yang Ming didn’t think that Guo Jinbiao’s underlings would be at the level of a.s.sa.s.sins. In that case, he wouldn’t just be the boss of a small county.
Yang Ming followed the instructions of Lan Ling’s grandmother as he had been monitoring Ma Xiaoyao, Uncle Ma, several times a day. But he only found that Uncle Ma was listening to the little songs on the radio aside from drinking. There was nothing special about it.
In special circ.u.mstances, he would go to the nearby small park every morning for a while. However, he didn’t make contact with anyone during the period. These weren’t enough to make Yang Ming suspicious. What made Yang Ming suspicious was that Ma Xiaoyao was chanting something when he was practicing swords or punching.
Although Yang Ming could see his mouth shapes, he couldn’t understand what Ma Xiaoyao was saying. It was because what Ma Xiaoyao chanted were some meaningless combinations of sounds. At first, Yang Ming thought that it was the mnemonic chanting in sword practice, so he didn’t care.
However, after a long time, Yang Ming gradually found that it wasn’t the case. This is because the meaningless voices that Ma Xiaoyao said every day were different!
For example, what he said when he practiced the sword today was, “Bitter smile green light yellow roll basketball very beautiful static spray paint…” Tomorrow’s had become, “Sprinkle king look great good mouth make a couple of nonsense…”
In fact, if there was only a slight difference, Yang Ming couldn’t see it. After all, the meaningless mouth shapes were the most difficult to identify, but because these meaningless mouth shapes were far apart every day, Yang Ming paid more attention to it.
Uncle Ma usually didn’t look like a psycho. Yang Ming had never heard of anyone who practiced swords and kept saying something meaningless!
Picking on this flaw, Yang Ming began to become serious. He observed the mouth shapes of Ma Xiaoyao every day. Then, recorded the approximate p.r.o.nunciation on the notebook. However, Ma Xiaoyao said them very quickly, and Yang Ming could only record part of it. Yang Ming tried to remember the beginning and the ending of those words as much as he could…
