Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Yang Ming was surprised when he heard Zhang Zhishen calling him. He asked baffled, “What’s wrong? Do you know me?”
Zhang Zhishen shook his head and said, “I don’t know you, but I was asked by someone to look for you and to give you something by the way…”
“Asked by someone? Give me something?” Yang Ming was somewhat inexplicable. “Who asked you?”
“Don’t you have a friend in Yunnan?” asked Zhang Zhishen.
Yunnan? Friend? Yang Ming frowned. How could I have a friend in Yunnan?Suddenly, Yang Ming was shocked and remembered someone. He suddenly blurted out, “Lan Ling?”
“That seems to be right…” Zhang Zhishen nodded. “I wanted to check your ID card. I have the ID number recorded by Miss Lan, but since you spoke out Miss Lan’s name, it should be right!”
Yang Ming broke into a sweat. How did Lan Ling know these two people? The man seems macho and somewhat reckless, but he isn’t an evil person. The woman is not quite elegant. She looks so gentle and quiet, yet why did she have a strip dance in the dressing room? However, since it had nothing to do with Yang Ming, he simply didn’t ask too much.
“You should look at my ID card, just in case you made a mistake.” Yang Ming said, “But, you should also have proof of your ident.i.ty, right?”
“Yes, yes!” Zhang Zhishen nodded and took a piece of paper out of his pocket, then he handed it to Yang Ming. “You should be familiar with this handwriting, right?”
Yang Ming took the paper from Zhang Zhishen. He saw that there was a copy of his name and ID number. From the writing, it was Lan Ling’s undoubtedly. Yang Ming’s eyesight was better than the average person. He was very sensitive to Lan Ling’s handwriting, so he was sure it wasn’t fake.
Yang Ming handed his ID card to Zhang Zhishen. After Zhang Zhishen finished the comparison, he returned the ID card to Yang Ming as he nodded and said, “There is no mistake! You are really Yang Ming!”
“Fine. What did Lan Ling tell you to give me…?” Yang Ming tried to calm down his tone, but it was difficult to suppress the excitement in his heart.
Yang Ming hadn’t heard from Lan Ling for a long time. Right now, she suddenly sent someone to pa.s.s Yang Ming something. How could Yang Ming not be excited?
“The things are here.” Zhang Zhishen took a small box carefully from his chest pocket and handed it to Yang Ming. “This is what Miss Lan asked me to hand over to you…”
“Thank you!” Yang Ming resisted the inner excitement and took the small box. He wanted to open it on the spot, but because of the presence of outsiders, he had to give up and carefully take it in his hands, fearing that it would be broken.
“You’re welcome.” Zhang Zhishen said with an honest smile, “It’s a coincidence. I didn’t expect to meet you like this, hehe. However, Mr. Yang, you are really amazing. Even the camera can’t hide from your eyes!”
“I’m just more meticulous.” Yang Ming waved his hand. “How come you suddenly called me Mr. Yang? It sounds awkward.”
“You are a friend of Miss Lan. I naturally need to respect you more, and…” Zhang Zhishen spoke until this point and became hesitant. He was silent for a while before he continued, “Mr. Yang, you won’t take a look at what Miss Lan gave you…”
” Oh , I will go back and see.” Yang Ming wondered. I am not in a hurry. What are you worried about? “I have something else today. I will treat you for dinner at another time!”
After Yang Ming finished, he waited for Zhang Zhishen to bid farewell to him. After all, what needed to be said was made obvious, but Zhang Zhishen still stood in front of him. He remained unmoved without bidding farewell.
Yang Ming was somewhat helpless. My words to send him away was already made apparent, yet why did Zhang Zhishen still remain unmoved? So, Yang Ming had to say, “Then let’s settle with that first. I will go first…”
Seeing that Yang Ming was leaving, Zhang Zhishen suddenly felt a little troubled. He hesitated for a long time before he spoke up. “Mr. Yang, where are you going? I will accompany you…”
“You accompany me?” Yang Ming was surprised. “You don’t have to accompany me… Brother Zhang, I know that you are very enthusiastic, but I really have something to do. I can’t accompany you. Let us eat together next time?”
“No… Mr. Yang. How about you take a look at what Miss Lan had given you? There is also a letter from Miss Lan to you.” Zhang Zhishen said in a hurry.
Yang Ming wondered, My wife wrote me a love letter. What does it have to do with you? How come I feel that you are more anxious than me? What is this Zhi Zhishen doing? Is there any fraud with it?
Seeing Yang Ming’s baffled expression, Zhang Zhishen had to say, “Mr. Yang, if you read the letter that Miss Lan gave you, you will understand. I’m the bodyguard sent to you by Miss Lan!”
“What?” Yang Ming listened with his jaws wide. He looked at Zhang Zhishen incredulously. “You said you are the bodyguard that Lan Ling had found for me?”
Zhang Zhishen nodded and smiled. “Mr. Yang, I am the bodyguard that Miss Lan sent to you to protect your safety. My code name is 007!”
“007?” Yang Ming almost fainted. “D*mn, James Bond.”
“Not James Bond.” Zhang Zhishen shook his head. “I’m a Local 007.”
A few black lines appeared on Yang Ming’s head [1]. This Lan Ling, where did she find such a living treasure to be my own bodyguard? Did she make a mistake? Yang Ming was helpless. “Mr. 007, look at me. Do I need your protection…?”
Zhang Zhishen smiled bitterly. “Mr. Yang, I was sent by Miss Lan. She told me to follow you. I must follow you. You should not be bothered by me. You will understand as you read the letter written by Miss Lan…”
“She told you to follow me… Why are you so obedient?” Yang Ming was somewhat helplessness. “Is she your mother?”
However, after he finished his words, Yang Ming regretted a little. If she is your mother, am I not your father? If I have a son like you, won’t I get p.i.s.sed off to death? You are outrageous. Your girlfriend is also outrageous.
” Ugh , you can say that!” After listening to Yang Ming’s words, Zhang Zhishen thought about it and nodded sternly.
“What? What did you say?” Yang Ming squinted. He almost lost his balance and sat on the ground.
“Miss Lan is actually…” When it came to this, Zhang Zhishen looked at Jing Xiaolu next to Yang Ming and did not continue to speak.
“Xiaolu, you wait for me in the car for a while.” There were some things that Yang Ming didn’t hide from Jing Xiaolu, but he had certain other things which he couldn’t let her know especially Lan Ling’s matter. It involved some secrets like “Voodoo.” Yang Ming did not want to let more people know.
Jing Xiaolu did not say anything. Even though she was curious, she also knew that Yang Ming and Zhang Zhishen must have some secret to discuss. Yang Ming did not hide a lot from her, the only exception was now. Hence, Jing Xiaolu also knew this must involve Yang Ming’s privacy. She wouldn’t be the person who would irritate others. So, after she nodded, she quickly walked to Yang Ming’s car which was parked at the police station.
Seeing Jing Xiaolu go far, Zhang Zhishen said, “Actually, I am Miss Lan’s seventh apprentice. Miss Lan is my master! There is a saying with Master that a teacher is like a father. However, Miss Lan is a woman, then it isn’t wrong to say that she is my mother…”
” Ah !” Yang Ming’s shock today was tremendous. Lan Ling has apprentices? And it sounds like it isn’t just a few. This guy ranked seventh. In other words, Lan Ling has at least seven apprentices! No wonder this guy is codenamed 007!
“Look… Mr. Yang, I can’t go against Master’s orders. Hence, please don’t trouble me. Take me, please…” Zhang Zhishen said pitifully.
“Take me, please [2]!” Yang Ming heard the three words from Zhang Zhishen, and he felt a disgusting chill that brought out gooseb.u.mps! If I really let this guy follow by my side, there will be jokes every day.
“You see, I don’t need your protection. How about we have a duel? If you beat me, I will agree to let you stay with me. If you lose, you should quickly go back…” Yang Ming thought for a long time, but he couldn’t find any reason to refuse. It couldn’t be helped.
“Mr. Yang, then I’m definitely not your opponent…” Zhang Zhishen shook his head with a wry smile.
“Then you still want to protect me?” Yang Ming looked at Zhang Zhishen inexplicably.
“My strength is voodoo.” Zhang Zhishen’s previous playful manner dissipated. He restored a serious expression all of a sudden. “Master had said, there may be people who have ill intentions on you. The opponent is good at voodoo. Master is afraid of you falling into danger. Hence, she sent my girlfriend and me to protect you! Master said that although your body is immune to most voodoo, you aren’t immune to certain powerful voodoo…”
Voodoo ! Yang Ming suddenly came into realization. It seems this was the case . Reminiscent of the man sent by Yun Guangdou to administer voodoo, Yang Ming was scared. Indeed, in terms of skills, the average person will not be my opponent. I’m more than enough to protect myself. Only this voodoo is something that I don’t understand. I also can’t use ordinary means to deal with it.
Thinking of this, Yang Ming also understood Lan Ling’s good intentions! This girl is far away, over a thousand miles, but she never forgets my own safety . However, what surprised Yang Ming was, It seems that within this short period of roughly four months, Little Linglng’s progress is so fast. She is already a master.
“Your girlfriend is also a disciple of Lan Ling?” Yang Ming glanced at Zhang Zhishen’s girlfriend.
“Yes!” Zhang Zhishen nodded and explained, “Since Mr. Yang is from the same side, then I will not hide it anymore. Xiao Qi is not the kind of ambiguous person you imagined. What you saw in the video… It was because Xiao Qi was inflicted with voodoo. Those who were inflicted with this voodoo would take off their clothes and make some weird moves as the symptoms appeared…”
