“Right.” Chen Mengyan said to Shu Ya, “You haven’t said yet, how did you suddenly change your appearance? You know that I have seen your photos. No matter how much a person changed, she shouldn’t become like another person, right?”
“This…” Shu Ya hesitated and said, “There is some hidden story behind it. I can’t disclose it… You won’t blame me, right?”
Chen Mengyan shook her head and said, “No worries. I’m just curious. You don’t have to overthink it.”
“Thank you.” Shu Ya smiled at Chen Mengyan with understanding. After all, this matter was related to her biggest secret. Even if Chen Mengyan was a person around Yang Ming, Shu Ya didn’t want to talk to her about it too casually.
Chen Mengyan was just curious, but since Shu Ya had hidden troubles not allowing her to disclose it, Chen Mengyan didn’t continue asking.
Because of Shu Ya’s ident.i.ty, the two people couldn’t hang out for too long. Shu Ya still had to rehea.r.s.e tomorrow morning. So, after coming out of the hospital, the two separated at the door of Tavern Heaven on Earth.
Chen Mengyan wanted to tell Yang Ming about Shu Ya’s ident.i.ty, but since Shu Ya wanted to say it personally, then she didn’t have to do anything. Even if Yang Ming knew the truth, he wouldn’t blame her.
Today, the happiest person was none other than Shu Ya. She learned of Yang Ming’s intention from Chen Mengyan’s mouth. Although Shu Ya didn’t know whether Yang Ming’s so-called cherished memory was only missing her or still had feelings for her, it was a great reward. At the very least, Shu Ya’s chances were still high. Moreover, Chen Mengyan didn’t have any hostility towards Shu Ya after discovering her ident.i.ty. This also made Shu Ya really excited.
Shu Ya was very clear about the reality at hand. Chen Mengyan was already with Yang Ming. This was an established fact that couldn’t be changed! No matter how close Shu Ya was with Yang Ming before, it was different now. So, the possibility for Shu Ya to push Chen Mengyan away from Yang Ming was negligible! Moreover, Shu Ya also thought that Yang Ming wasn’t a person who could be easily influenced!
Yang Ming was a cold-blooded a.s.sa.s.sin who had two girlfriends – three girlfriends overbearingly. It made Shu Ya have no confidence at all. The best solution now was that Chen Mengyan could acknowledge her, just like Lin Zhiyun. Shu Ya was satisfied as long as she could stay at Yang Ming’s side.
However, she didn’t expect that her wish could be realized so easily! Shu Ya thought that she would laugh out loud in her dreams tonight.
However, over at Chen Mengyan side, it wasn’t that easy. Chen Mengyan was a little confused. Shu Ya’s emergence gave Mengyan a great sense of crisis, which was why Mengyan roped in Shu Ya from the beginning. Chen Mengyan didn’t have the chance to fight Shu Ya. She could only take the route of harmonious coexistence.
These were secondary. What troubled Chen Mengyan was Yang Ming’s intention. Without Shu Ya’s emergence, Chen Mengyan was sure that she would become Yang Ming’s bride. No matter how many girlfriends Yang Ming had, the official bride would definitely be her.
The situation was a bit different now. Shu Ya also had this opportunity. Although Shu Ya had already indicated her intention today that she wouldn’t do anything sorry to Chen Mengyan because it was impossible to always be at Yang Ming’s side mainly due to work, Chen Mengyan was still not at ease…
When Chen Mengyan got home, she was so unhappy that she went online with some uneasiness. However, Chen Mengyan didn’t bother with it much because she thought she was troubled with Shu Ya’s matter…
Although Yang Ming was busy during this period, he still hadn’t forgotten what Lan Ling’s grandma instructed him. During Yang Ming’s spare time, Yang Ming went to monitor the watchman of the Red Flag Junior High School, Ma Xiaoyao, also known as Uncle Ma.
Even if Yang Ming didn’t find anything unusual, since Lan Ling’s grandmother instructed, it must be taken care of. However, the boring record every day made Yang Ming really impatient. Yang Ming just happened to pa.s.s by Red Flag Junior High School, so he decided to make a visit to Ma Xiaoyao’s place.
Coincidentally, it was the holiday period for the students right now. The school was empty with no one there. Yang Ming got out of the car and reached the school gate that was locked. Yang Ming knocked twice. Not long after, Yang Ming saw Uncle Ma walk out and shout in a drunk manner, “Who is it?”
“Uncle Ma, it is me, Yang Ming!” Yang Ming laughed.
” Oh ? Yang Ming!” Uncle Ma narrowed his eyes and glanced at Yang Ming. He opened the door lock clumsily and said, “What are you doing here tonight?”
“I just pa.s.sed by here, so I dropped by for a visit.” Yang Ming said.
“No way! Do you have anything to ask me?” Uncle Ma didn’t believe it.
“This time really nothing…” Yang Ming smiled bitterly, “It was really on the way. I had nothing to do, so I just came to sit down with you.”
” Hmm ! It is either you have nothing better to do, or why are you here visiting an old man?” Uncle Ma said bluntly, “What? Do you really have nothing to do?”
“That’s not it. I’m here to thank you for the last time about Wu Chiren.” Yang Ming said, “Thank you for providing the clues, but in the end, I still failed to solve the problem.”
“Why? You didn’t manage to find your little girlfriend?” Uncle Ma sat back at the wine table and asked.
“No…” Yang Ming shook his head and said, “Forget it! This kind of thing requires fate. Sometimes a deliberate search won’t bear any result.”
“It is fine as long as you can think openly. Do you want to accompany me for a few drinks?” Uncle Ma pointed to the wine on the table.
“Okay!” Yang Ming nodded. “It just happens that I haven’t eaten yet. Let us eat together.” Actually, Yang Ming wanted to take advantage of Uncle Ma getting drunk to see if he could find something out.
But unfortunately, Uncle Ma didn’t utter anything useful aside from things about his daily life and the funny things in the school. Although the two chatted happily, Yang Ming still had not much understanding of Uncle Ma.
From Uncle Ma’s words and demeanor, he was a peaceful old man. He drank a little every day and enjoyed life. With this drinking period, Uncle Ma was still drunk and became like just now. He didn’t seem to show exaggerated signs of being drunk. However, Yang Ming was a little tipsy with his pace unbalanced.
It seemed that the Erguotou [1] was very strong. Yang Ming claimed that he could still stand straight even after a hundred bottle of wines, but he became tipsy after only two bottles of Erguotou.
Yang Ming definitely couldn’t drive a car. Yang Ming didn’t want to hurt others and himself as well. He stood in the middle of the road waiting for a taxi. However, this road wasn’t the main street. Moreover, it was a school holiday. Usually, there were few people taking taxis on this road, but there weren’t many taxis around. A few taxis with customers...o...b..ard pa.s.sed by.
After Liu Xiaosheng snuck back to Song Jiang, he waited for the opportunity to a.s.sa.s.sinate Yang Ming. However, Yang Ming had too many people around him every day. It wasn’t easy to make a move on him. Moreover, Yang Ming was agile. Liu Xiaosheng was afraid that he would suffer in the end and get beaten up by Yang Ming.
Today, Liu Xiaosheng just found a place to eat some food. He had too much time to spare and was about to find a place to have fun with a young lady. He stopped a taxi, and as he was preparing to go to a bathing center in the city, he pa.s.sed by the Red Flag Junior High School. He suddenly noticed Yang Ming’s BMW parked at the entrance!
Liu Xiaosheng suddenly became vigorous and shouted at the driver, “Stop! Stop!”
Although the driver didn’t understand what was going on, since the customer wanted him to stop, he couldn’t say much. He had to park the car on the side of the road. Liu Xiaosheng threw the driver a twenty yuan bill and got off, not caring about the change.
At first, the driver still felt that Liu Xiaosheng was suffering from neuropathy.Why did he go to such an obscure place? But when the driver got the money, he thought that Liu Xiaosheng was pleasing to the eye and drove off humming a song.
Liu Xiaosheng had been looking for an opportunity to make a move on Yang Ming every day so he wouldn’t let go of any possibility. At first glance, Liu Xiaosheng knew there was no one inside the car, so he found a big tree and hid behind it.
This wait was more than three hours. Liu Xiaosheng was so cold that he was s.h.i.+vering. But, to encounter Yang Ming, Liu Xiaosheng gritted his teeth to bear it!
Finally, when Liu Xiaosheng was hopeless, Yang Ming swayed out. Liu Xiaosheng could smell the stench of alcohol from a distance, and he couldn’t help but be elated. G.o.d is in my favor!
The opportunity that he was unable to find had finally arrived. This Yang Ming had drunk too much now. It was easier for him to make a move!
Liu Xiaosheng tiptoed behind Yang Ming. He pulled out the pot containing the voodoo insect prepared by Yun Guangdou. He was ready to put a voodoo on Yang Ming!
Although Yang Ming drank too much, his mind was still vigilant. This was what Fang Tian taught him on the first day. An a.s.sa.s.sin should always be alert. Otherwise, it would be easy for others to get rid of him.
“Who’s there!?” yelled Yang Ming when he felt someone coming over from behind.
Liu Xiaosheng was surprised. When Yang Ming discovered his presence, Liu Xiaosheng quickly activated the voodoo insect in his hand to activate the voodoo on Yang Ming. However, a heavy blow landed on Liu Xiaosheng’s head. He fainted without knowing what happened.
Yang Ming intuitively felt that there was a dangerous aura from the approaching person. He was afraid that the person was malevolent toward him. Hence, he made the first move and struck the person to the ground! Sure enough, Yang Ming noticed the oncoming person take an inexplicable object to face him.
Yang Ming just wanted to check what happened. Suddenly, he felt an ache in his heart. A bead of sweat the size of a bean dropped down on the spot.
This was by no means a normal physiological reaction. Yang Ming knew that his body was very healthy. There was no such thing as heart disease, so it was impossible to have sudden pain in his heart. However, at the moment, it was a pain that he couldn’t describe! Yang Ming frowned. He couldn’t help but wonder if the person did something to him. But, the severe pain made him light-headed. What was in front of his eyes also became a little fuzzy…
Yang Ming squatted at the roadside covered with snow and started breathing heavily.
Finally, Yang Ming couldn’t bear it. He fell to the ground, and he soon lost consciousness… Liu Xiaosheng who was by Yang Ming’s side had also quietly fainted there…
