Chapter 859: Pursuit
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
It didn’t take long for the car to stop at the pier where Yang Ming wanted to go. However, by this time Liu Minggui had already boarded the motorboat and headed out towards the ocean.
Yang Ming quickly got out of the taxi and then walked to the boat rental office on the dock.
“I want to rent a motorboat.” Yang Ming said to the renter.
“Do you have a driver’s license?” asked the renter.
“No, but I have money.” Yang Ming said straightforwardly, “I know how to drive a motorboat. You can rest a.s.sured.”
These boat rental offices were privately opened, so they treated the rules lightly. When Yang Ming said that he had money, the person in charge of the rental office could not help but grin. “That’s fine, but you are at your own risk the moment you leave.”
Yang Ming nodded. “Don’t worry. I will sign an agreement with you.”
Yang Ming had more cash today, so he threw a stack of thousand pataca bills directly to the owner of the rental office. When the boss’ eyes lit up, he put away the money that Yang Ming gave. Then, he started to instruct the workers without saying anything. “Go and find the best motorboat for this gentleman. Fill it up with oil!”
There were a hundred thousand patacas here. It was enough to buy another motorboat. How would this boss be upset?!
Yang Ming simply signed a safety agreement, took the motorboat’s key, and got on a boat under the guidance of the worker. At this time, Liu Minggui had already run far away.
Fortunately, Yang Ming had a telescopic ability, which could quickly pinpoint Liu Minggui’s position. Yang Ming had learned to drive a motorboat when he was training in Europe. His operating technique was impeccable. It didn’t take long before he started to drive the speedboat in full speed and rush in the direction of Liu Minggui.
Yang Ming was very fast, but Liu Minggui was not slow. Liu Minggui needed to take the GPS in his hand and follow it, but Yang Ming directly stared at Liu Minggui to catch up with him. So Yang Ming had an advantage in speed, and the distance between the two gradually got smaller.
Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters… Liu Minggui also noticed that a motorboat was coming behind him. He looked back but did not pay much attention to it, because this path was a route to Hong Kong. It was also normal for people to pa.s.s by here.
Fifty meters, ten meters… When Yang Ming saw the opportunity, he leaped and landed on Liu Minggui’s motorboat.
Suddenly a person flew over from the sky. Liu Minggui was immediately shocked. He looked at Yang Ming in a daze. “You… who are you?”
“Why? You don’t remember me so quickly?” Yang Ming’s condescending foot stepped on the side of the s.h.i.+p, then he looked down on Liu Minggui, causing him great psychological pressure.
“You… who are you?” Liu Minggui naturally did not remember Yang Ming. He just followed the boss’ command to cause a conflict with Nakino Masato. After he b.u.mped into the target, he quickly left. Where would he find the time to look around at people?
In other words, if Nakino Masato didn’t mistake the person and stepped on Zhang Bing’s foot, Liu Minggui wouldn’t have hit the wrong person. But Nakino Masato was already dead. He couldn’t deal with a deceased person, so he could only admit that he was unlucky.
“You just killed someone and framed it on my friend. Did you forget?” Yang Ming grabbed Liu Minggui’s hair with his right hand, lifted him up, and pulled the key of the motorboat with his left hand. The motorboat’s engine stalled.
“You… you are that Yang Ming?!” Liu Minggui shouted in shock, but then he regretted it! Logically, he should not know Yang Ming. If he knew Yang Ming, it proved that he was suspicious like confessing before the interrogation.
“Okay, just as I expected. How did you know that my name is Yang Ming?” Yang Ming was immediately excited when he heard Liu Minggui’s words as if he had grasped important clues. Indeed, Liu Minggui did not know him at all, but he was able to call out his name suddenly. There was only one possibility that he knew Yang Ming before. That matter must have something to do with him.
Liu Minggui struggled a few times, but when he saw Yang Ming’s burly body, he gave up the struggle. He was not Yang Ming’s opponent at all. Yang Ming could make him immobile with one hand, so it was better not to provoke such a person.
“You talk. Didn’t you hear me?” Yang Ming saw that Liu Minggui didn’t talk, so he grabbed Liu Minggui’s hair and pulled it up.
Liu Minggui yelled. He felt that his scalp was about to be ripped off and begged with a sobbing voice, “Don’t… don’t… I didn’t kill him. It has nothing to do with me…”
“Rubbis.h.!.+” Yang Ming screamed, “It has nothing to do with you? Believe it or not, I will throw you directly into the sea to feed the fish.” Yang Ming pulled Liu Minggui up to a.s.sume an att.i.tude.
“Don’t… don’t…” Liu Minggui was shocked, and his voice changed. He really regretted it! Why did I want to do this kind of thing for ten million? But now I didn’t get ten million. I can’t afford to offend my boss, and yet this guy called Yang Ming seems like a ruthless person. I am not an opponent.
Seeing Yang Ming’s posture, he did not doubt that Yang Ming could really throw him into the sea!
“I’ll count to three, and you’ll explain clearly. Otherwise, hehe, you’ll go into the sea to enjoy the feeling of being bait.” Yang Ming sneered and threatened.
Liu Minggui was so scared that he was shaking. His breathing became rushed, and he was quickly planning in his mind. If I say it, then Yang Ming will send me to the police station and hand me over to the police to handle.
But if I don’t say it… then what will be waiting for me is… Liu Minggui looked at the dark blue sea water, and he couldn’t help but tremble.
When I go to the police station, no matter how big my sin was, it isn’t significant enough to be put to death. Moreover, I didn’t kill anyone. Probably, I have to be sentenced for a few years. But if I don’t admit it, then Yang Ming would probably throw me into the sea.
Liu Minggui was not a fool. After weighing the pros and cons, the final decision was still to confess. “I’ll talk. I’ll talk. Don’t throw me into the sea. I will say it all.”
” Hmph , then talk!” Yang Ming said coldly. He did not expect this Liu Minggui to be such a coward. Originally, Yang Ming planned to use acupuncture points to punish him. He did not expect that such a slight shock would cause this guy to confess.
“I was hired by someone else to do this…” Liu Minggui said slowly, “Yesterday, a friend of mine found me and said that there was a big job. He asked if I could do it. I am just a gambler and have no source of income. As soon as I heard that there was a big job, I was immediately interested. So I asked him, what job? How much money can I earn?
“My friend said that after it was done, I can earn ten million! I thought this is good. Ten million, even if I am told to kill someone, I will have enough money to run away. So I agreed to it without saying anything.
“After I agreed to it, my friend took me to see a “boss.” At that time, there was another person who went with me, the Nakino Masato who died today.
“The boss promised to give me ten million and to give Nakino Masato fifty million … But the cost that Nakino Masato had to bear was much more serious than me. He needed to sacrifice his life, but I just had to push you…”
“You mean that the boss gave Nakino Masato the money to have him die?” Yang Ming was stunned. He did not expect that things would be like this, that Nakino Masato and Liu Minggui were partners and were the subjects of a certain “boss.” However, this Nakino Masato really had a bit of a problem. He was given fifty million to die? So he wondered, “What is the use to have the fifty million if he’s dead?”
“He was terminally ill. He could only live for a few months if he didn’t die. Maybe that fifty million is a huge sum of money for his family?” Liu Minggui explained, “He seemed to have cancer…”
Yang Ming nodded. It turned out to be the case. No wonder he would die for fifty million. It was simply because he would not live long. “Continue.”
“Yes!” Liu Minggui nodded and continued. “The boss’ original target was you. He asked Nakino to step on your foot and then have a conflict with you. Then I would push you from behind onto Nakino Masato so you would be framed…”
“How did Nakino Masato die?” Yang Ming interrupted Liu Minggui’s words and asked.
“Nakino Masato died on his own. He committed suicide!” Liu Minggui words were astonis.h.i.+ng.
” Ah !” Yang Ming exclaimed. It turned out to be like this! Yang Ming always wondered where the knife came from. The original knife was on Nakino Masato himself, and he killed himself! In this way, the previous doubts would be solved!
“But I don’t know why Nakino Masato recognized the wrong person. There was a conflict with Zhang Bing. I couldn’t see clearly from behind. The boss just told me to push the person who was in conflict with Nakino Masato, so I pushed Zhang Bing… In the end…” Liu Minggui spoke with some depression.
“However, even if you succeeded in framing me, you should know that there are many suspicions about this case. Although I may be controlled for the time being, the police will find out sooner or later!” Yang Ming asked inexplicably.
“Then I don’t know… but listening to the boss’ words, it seems that he wanted to create a serial murder case. After you entered the police station, I would play a similar role and then have you kill a policeman… I don’t know the specific plans, and the boss didn’t say… Because the first stage of the plan failed, then there is no point in it.” Liu Minggui explained.
Yang Ming nodded as he realized it. Yes, there may be doubts in the case. When two or three consecutive murders occurred on him, it isn’t a doubt that could be explained clearly. It is uncertain whether I would fall into the plot.
“Who is your boss?” This was the most critical issue and one of the most concerned problems for Yang Ming.
“Boss… I don’t know… I only met him yesterday…” Liu Minggui said with a bitter face.
“Really?” Yang Ming glared and grabbed Liu Minggui’s neck collar.
“Really… I don’t dare to lie to you. I’ve said everything. Why would I want to hide it anymore!?” Liu Minggui said in fear and trepidation.
