Chapter 1080: Analysis of the Behind-The-Scenes Forces

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Sun Jie basically understood Yang Ming’s meaning. Yang Ming did not want to hurt the innocent. Otherwise, using the human wave attack 1 with the security guards wearing bullet-proof vests could kill the two gangsters by stepping on them.

“Is there a surveillance camera in the room?” Sun Jie asked while frowning.

“No, the camera is only installed in the corridor. It isn’t installed in the private rooms.” Brother Wang threw up his hands, shaking his head. “To protect the privacy of our customers, the hotel will not do this.”

Sun Jie nodded. Indeed, if a camera was installed in the private rooms, who would come here to eat? It was a taboo in the general entertainment venues.

“If you can see the situation in the room, it will be good. The door of this room is made of wood. If you shoot at the door, you should be able to shoot the inside,” said Sun Jie helplessly. “But now, we have to find other ways.”

Sun Jie’s words reminded Yang Ming that indeed, it was impossible to rush in, but not if he could see the room from the outside. He could shoot the people inside through the door.

It didn’t matter if there was a surveillance camera or not. Yang Ming could use his special abilities to see the situation in the room!

After the boss and Old San entered the room, they used the gun’s butt to knock out Shen Yuxi. They didn’t want to kill the girl. They would lose their bargaining chip if they killed her, but they didn’t have the leisure time to point the gun at Shen Yuxi!

They wanted to find a way to escape from here as soon as possible!

The boss and Old San weren’t stupid, knowing that this stalemate was only temporary. The people outside would rush in sooner or later, so they had to look around to see if they could get a start from other aspects.

Because Shen Yuxi had been knocked unconscious, Old San didn’t have to carry a gun everywhere he went. Then, he threw the gun on the sofa where the Shen Yuxi was. After all, it was very troublesome to go back and forth with a gun.

The boss’ vigilance was relatively high; the gun never left his hand.

“I’ll go to the bathroom to see; you stand guard outside. Shout if there is a situation. Don’t be sloppy.” The boss instructed Old San.

“I got it.” Old San nodded absently. After all, the situation at the moment had made him a little confused.

His age was relatively young; he didn’t want to die just like that and still wanted to live longer.

The boss quickly walked to the bathroom to see if there were any vents for them to escape through.

The customers on the second floor had been evacuated. The entire floor was filled with Yang Ming’s people. Guo Jianchao was also comforting Yang Li and the others in the room to prevent them from going out.

“Brother Yang, what do we do now?” The security captain, Brother Wang, was so anxious that beads of sweat were all over his head. If anything was wrong with Shen Yuxi, would Yang Ming kill him for that?

Even if Yang Ming didn’t say anything, Bao Sanli probably wouldn’t let him go. When he thought of it, Brother Wang’s head began to sweat.

Yang Ming was one of Xia Bingbao’s men, so he could use firearms legally. Therefore, Yang Ming wasn’t afraid of using a gun in public. He just had to call Xia Bingbao after the case to settle everything.

Yang Ming waved his hand and gestured for Brother Wang to calm down and not talk. Yang Ming stared quietly at the door panel in front of him.

Sun Jie didn’t know what Yang Ming wanted to do, but since Yang Ming was very serious, it was inappropriate to bother him.

Yang Ming pulled out the universal key from his pocket and gently inserted it into the lock hole of the door. He made a few turns, but the door was locked from the inside. It was not enough to open the door with the universal key; he still needed other tools.

Yang Ming looked around him. All of them were his own people. He hesitated and took out another set of tools. He gently did something to the lock, causing it to lose its proper function completely.

After doing all this, Yang Ming waited for the opportunity to come. Finally, the opportunity was coming! When the boss entered the bathroom, Yang Ming slowly lifted the gun and aimed at Old San’s right leg in the room.

Yang Ming didn’t want to kill Old San directly. Compared to the boss, it was easier to learn the truth from Old San’s mouth. Although Yang Ming could use the acupoint method to subdue the boss, Yang Ming didn’t want to use it in front of so many people. Besides, he was keeping Old San alive, just in case anything went wrong.

” Bang ,” Yang Ming pulled the trigger as he slammed the door open, then he directly pointed the gun at the door of the bathroom.

” Ah –” Old San screamed. It was especially shrill mixing in with the sound of the gunshot.

“What’s wrong?” The boss in the bathroom suddenly was shocked. He nervously raised the gun in his hand and pointed at the door of the bathroom, then he shouted loudly. But the boss didn’t dare to go out easily.

Yang Ming didn’t bother with Old San who was on the ground. One of his legs was useless, and he was far away from the gun on the sofa. If he wanted to get the pistol, he would have to work hard.

The boss couldn’t see Yang Ming, but Yang Ming could see the boss. Yang Ming just shot casually and hit the boss’ right hand holding the pistol. The boss also screamed, and the gun fell to the ground. Yang Ming didn’t wait for the boss to react and also shot his left hand. Even if he picked up the gun this time, he wouldn’t be able to use it.

Of course, all of this happened within a second. When Brother Wang brought his people in, Yang Ming had already completed all the movements.

“Seize them.” Yang Ming kicked open the door of the bathroom and faintly commanded.

The security guards immediately swarmed in and seized the boss and Old San.

The boss and Old San were a bit inexplicable. They could get hit by people even when the door was closed. This was really extremely bad luck. They lowered their heads dejectedly. They knew that they had lost the bargaining chip. Now they could only allow themselves to be trampled upon.

Yang Ming glanced at Shen Yuxi and said to Brother Wang, “Ask a few waitresses to take her to the hospital.”

Brother Wang saw that Yang Ming was very concerned about Shen Yuxi. He didn’t have doubts anymore and was convinced that Yang Ming was definitely fond of Shen Yuxi, so he didn’t dare to neglect. He quickly found a few waitresses and instructed them to take Shen Yuxi to the hospital like how they treated their grandmothers.

After Yang Ming commanded, he didn’t care about Shen Yuxi, but he frowned and thought about the boss and Old San.

“Yang Ming, how did you do it?” Sun Jie clearly saw what happened just now. As the saying goes, the dilettante watches the lively scene, while the expert looks at the doorway 2 . Whether it was Brother Wang or those security guards, Yang Ming was very powerful in their hearts. He was Brother Bao’s brother, who was a very strong character, so no matter what Yang Ming did, they all took it for granted.

But Sun Jie was different. From Yang Ming’s first shot to his second and third shot after entering the room, Sun Jie could see clearly that Yang Ming was shooting through the door. What’s more, he could actually accurately hit the target. That was simply amazing!

If he hit the target by coincidence, the first shot that hit Old San’s thigh could be explained, but the second and third shot hit respectively, the boss’ right and left hands!

This surprised Sun Jie! Yang Ming’s aim was too accurate! Moreover, it wasn’t just a matter of aiming. The question now was how did Yang Ming shoot the target through the door?

“What how did I do it?” Yang Ming began to act dumb.

Sun Jie glanced at Yang Ming. “Don’t fool with me. Do you think you are stupid or I’m stupid?”

“I have said that when you really become my woman, I will tell you all my secrets,” said Yang Ming.

“Am I not yours now?” Sun Jie whispered angrily.

“It counts physically, but not mentally.” Yang Ming said with an enigmatic smile. “This is what you have admitted.”

“Well, never mind if you don’t want to say,” said Sun Jie angrily.

“I will tell you tonight.” Yang Ming naturally didn’t want to have his relationship with Sun Jie to be too inflexible, so he took a step back and replied. Anyway, he didn’t really think about telling Sun Jie his real secret. He would just fabricate a reason by that time.

Sun Jie clenched her teeth and endured it.

“Do you know these people?” Yang Ming asked Sun Jie.

“I don’t recognize them. Are you sure that they were all directed at me?” After Sun Jie listened to Yang Ming’s words, she felt worried.

” En , just now in the hallway, Old San said such a sentence. He said that their goal was the woman just now…” Yang Ming nodded. “Just now, they were shooting at you. It means that their target is you.”

“I don’t have enemies here, right?” Sun Jie had some doubts.

“Then, I don’t know. The urgent task now is to interrogate the two men to see if there are any clues.” Yang Ming sighed. “But I think hope is very slim. These two people should be those who work for others for money.”

Sun Jie nodded. Didn’t she think so in her heart? Old San also said that when they were in the private room, they were only working for money, so the possibility of them knowing the matter behind the scene was slim.

Yang Ming and Sun Jie walked into the room together, which was the temporary location for retaining the boss and Old San. Brother Wang had already tied the boss and Old San with a rope.

Inside the room, Yang Ming waved his hand to Brother Wang and others who guarded them, and then informed them, “You all go out first.”

Brother Wang and others naturally left the room, leaving only Yang Ming and Sun Jie there.

Yang Ming’s bullets didn’t hit fatal positions, so the boss and Old San were in pain, but their lives were not in danger, and they hadn’t fainted.

“Who sent you guys? Who is your target?” Yang Ming took a chair and sat down, looking at the boss and Old San as he asked.

“I don’t know. Since I am caught, I didn’t think about being alive. If you want to kill me, just do it.” The boss snorted and said coldly.

“Really?” Yang Ming smiled slightly. “Never mind then; I have given you a chance. Since you don’t cherish it yourself, then don’t blame me for not giving a chance. I’ll start with this guy named Old San. What would happen if I break both your legs?”

“If you f*cking have the balls, just kill us. What kind of hero plays dirty?” When the boss saw Yang Ming was going to torture them, in particular, his brother, he was anxious.

“Sorry, I’m no hero.” Yang Ming smiled slightly. “I have a shortcoming. If I don’t achieve my goal, I won’t kill my target. Have you heard of a phrase called living death? Today I will let you taste what it feels like!”

“Don’t!” Old San wasn’t as forthright as the boss, and Yang Ming was going to start with him when he came up, which made him suddenly anxious. “Big brother, let’s just say it. It isn’t related to us initially. Why do we have to die for it?!”

“In our business, credibility is the most important. We can’t betray our employers!” The boss glared at Old San and said ruthlessly.

“We are going to f*cking die. Do we still need credibility? I will say it. Don’t kill me; I will say it…” Yang Ming was right. Old San was indeed a coward. He was willing to say anything after a little intimidation.

“Old San!” The boss tried to stop him quickly, but he was knocked out by Yang Ming.

Yang Ming turned around as if nothing happened. “Okay, you talk.”

“Someone gave us brothers five hundred thousand yuan to have us kill you…” Old San looked up at Sun Jie and said, “And he instructed that we must kill you in Song Jiang’s Nightless Club or Tavern Heaven on Earth…”

“Who?” asked Yang Ming.

“That we don’t know. You also know that in our occupation, it is inappropriate to ask for the employer’s information.” Old San shook his head and replied.

This Old San was a coward. Yang Ming just scared him a little, and he spilled everything, so he wouldn’t hide anything. Moreover, when Yang Ming spoke, he used his special ability to check Old San’s thoughts.

Because Old San was afraid of death, he was very nervous now. Yang Ming was able to read his mind. He didn’t hide anything and told everything he knew.

Yang Ming was somewhat fortunate. Before he used his acupoint technique, this guy had spilled everything. Otherwise, he had to explain his acupoint to Sun Jie.

This curious baby seemed to be curious about everything about him. Yang Ming couldn’t not tell her. Every time he had to rack his brain to fabricate an explanation.

“Let’s go.” Yang Ming said to Sun Jie. “These two are just small pawns. They are the ones who risked their lives. We can’t get any useful information from them.”

Sun Jie also nodded. She also understood that no one would reveal their identity to those who worked for money. However, who wanted to kill her?

Sun Jie had no enemies in Donghai and Song Jiang. Besides, she had the name of the Sun Family. If anyone wanted to make a move on Sun Jie, they must measure their own power. Sun Jie wasn’t someone who could be offended easily. If they messed up and provoked the Sun Family, there would be bloody chaos.

So no matter what the considerations were, the hirer wouldn’t reveal his identity. He wasn’t a fool.

Outside the private room, Yang Ming called Xia Bingbao and explained what happened just now. Xia Bingbao only said one thing after listening, “I got it; I will handle it.”

In Xia Bingbao’s view, if Yang Ming didn’t cause a huge mess, he would help settle it. Now, there was nothing wrong with what Yang Ming had done. He was fighting against crime boldly. It was normal for hot-blooded people to do it. But the only difference was that Yang Ming used a gun, but that was not a problem given Yang Ming’s current status.

Xia Bingbao would naturally be responsible for communicating for Yang Ming and cleaning up the scene. After all, Yang Ming’s identity wasn’t known to the public. Although it was alright to have only a few people in Song Jiang know it, everyone didn’t need to know.

After Yang Ming hung up the phone, Xia Bingbao called Chen Fei and said something about Yang Ming. Of course, Yang Ming didn’t know this. If he knew it, he would have called Chen Fei directly. Yang Ming was afraid that Chen Fei’s authority wasn’t high enough to handle this.

In fact, Yang Ming’s thoughts had complicated this matter. These three people were criminals. The process of arresting them wasn’t important. What mattered was the result.

“Who did you call?” After walking out of the Nightless Club, Sun Jie got in the car and asked.

Because of such a matter, they couldn’t have their meal. Guo Jianchao had taken Yang Li home with his girlfriend. Zhang Xiaodan took her boyfriend, Liu Liang, to the hospital.

The police had taken over the case. After Zhang Xiaodan finished the transcript, the police also reminded her not to tell others. However, Zhang Xiaodan did not think that there was anything wrong with it. What happened if Yang Ming killed people? At that time, Yang Ming could be regarded as doing a righteous and courageous act! As for later, when Yang Ming used a gun, she didn’t see it, so naturally, she didn’t know what happened afterward.

The boss and Old San were taken to the police station, and the body of Old Er was collected. At this point, this case was considered over temporarily.

However, both Yang Ming and Sun Jie knew that this was just the beginning. The power behind the matter was just emerging. Perhaps this time was only a probe, or maybe they really wanted Sun Jie’s life.

“A friend.” Yang Ming smiled. “His identity isn’t simple. After all, I used a gun in front of many people, so I needed someone to help me settle it.”

Sun Jie nodded and didn’t ask more. After all, she was born into such a family. She was accustomed to such things. Now, the most important thing was to find out who the person behind-the-scenes was.

“I don’t have any enemies in Song Jiang. Why are these people targeting me?” Sun Jie frowned with a thoughtful look.

“Could it be someone from Donghai?” asked Yang Ming.

“Donghai… It shouldn’t be. Donghai is now under my father’s control, and the Sun Family isn’t the kind of family who bullied the weak. It has a good relationship with all the forces.” Sun Jie shook her head and spoke. “Even if they aren’t satisfied with the Sun Family, they wouldn’t go to Song Jiang to kill me…”

“Maybe the person behind-the-scenes isn’t against you, but me.”
