Chapter 1085: Creating a Diversion

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

“What happened to my leg?” The host moved his right leg and found that his right leg was unable to move. Regardless of how he wanted to maintain balance, he could not keep his two legs in coordination. The more anxious the host was, the more unsteady he was. His body trembled, and fell on the stage, making a big “bang” sound.

” Hahahaha …” There was a sneer in the audience. Everyone didn’t think anything. They thought it was just a show, a joke in the auction.

” Ah … my legs, who can help me? I can’t stand up!” The screams of the host made the busy auction hall at first turn quiet. All the people cast different gazes on the host.

“What happened?” Several security guards, who maintained the order of the scene, rushed over under Bao Sanli’s instigation and helped the host with one on the left and one on the right. “How did you fall?”

“I don’t know. My leg doesn’t work all of a sudden; it’s not listening to my command…” The host said bitterly. Obviously, he didn’t realize how serious the matter was. He thought it was because he had been standing for a long time. There was temporary paralysis in his legs!

“Then should we help you to take a break first?” asked the security guard.

“Alright… first help me to sit down for a while!” said the host.

Generally speaking, the sciatic nerve would not have any problems without being traumatized. The host had been standing on the stage, and there was no injection nor wrestling. The chances of a sciatic nerve injury were minimal, so he did not think about that.

Bao Sanli didn’t know how the host suddenly fell with problems on his leg. However, he vaguely guessed it was because of Yang Ming! He was clear about Yang Ming’s capability. Although he did not see how Yang Ming did it, a disability was already considered a light punishment, given Yang Ming’s ruthless means.

Since Bao Sanli didn’t know, he would not ask much. After all, Yang Ming would let him know what he would need to know. It would be in vain if he asked things that he was not supposed to know.

There was more than one host. After learning about the situation here, the China Jewelry Association sent another host to take over the work of the former host.

The former host sat behind the stage without much worry. He watched the auction going on leisurely, thinking about how much commission he could get. He was not worried about his legs at all. How would he know that he would spend the rest of his life as a crippled person?

The first day of the exhibition ended, except that the host was “inexplicably” turned into a crippled man. He was taken away by the hospital’s ambulance, and nothing unusual happened.

The man who wore a grey woolen shirt walked around in the exhibition area for the entire day. His whereabouts were suspicious, but there was no action. After the closing, he followed the other guests to leave the venue. This made Li Qiang feel a little nervous.

“Brother Yang, that person did not make any inappropriate action. After the closing, he left to exit obediently.” Li Qiang reported to Yang Ming.

Yang Ming nodded. The suspicious person might not be suspicious. Perhaps he just lingered around out of love for a particular piece of art. He pretended to hang around in the exhibition area probably also to prevent security guards from paying attention to him. Who knew in this way that he was even more suspicious? However, everything has two sides. Although Yang Ming thought so, he couldn’t rule out his suspicion. “Let’s see if he will appear tomorrow. Pay close attention to the movements of this person; don’t take it lightly.”

Li Qiang nodded and said solemnly, “Do not worry, Brother Yang. I understand!”

In the evening, the entire exhibition area was completely sealed. Infrared monitoring and various advanced anti-theft systems were all running at the same time. Even so, Yang Ming and others did not dare to relax their vigilance!

Although all the people in the exhibition were withdrawn at night with the entire venue tightly sealed, this did not mean that he could sit back and relax. There was even someone who could bust open the bank’s vault, let alone an exhibition hall built at the last moment.

However, the exhibition area and the auction area did not matter. Many manufacturers had their own safes. Moreover, the basic value of each exhibitor’s safe was not too big, at most hundreds of thousands in goods. It was not worth making a move.

Opening a safe was quite laborious. Never mind that there were so many safes. Obviously, even if someone made a move, they would be directed at these safes.

In the auction area, the jewelry for auction had been auctioned today. They were all in the hands of the buyers. The jewelry to be auctioned off tomorrow was not yet sent over. The jewelry dedicated for auction would be delivered the next morning, so there was no need to worry about having problems.

Yang Ming had mostly deployed manpower in the vicinity of the exhibition area. The exhibition area was only left with some regular manpower guards. Even if there were an accident, it would be a small amount of money. Ming Yang Security Company would not bear too much damage.

At night, it was quiet, but everyone was full of spirit, and they did not dare to slack off. The people of Ming Yang Security Company received such a task for the first time. With the lack of experience on the spot, they seemed a little nervous. On the other hand, Li Qiang’s men appeared to be well-trained. They patrolled back and forth in the dark, reporting each other’s situation with the intercom.

With these examples, the talents of Ming Yang Security Company had slowly steadied their minds and joined the rigid security work.

At the moment, Yang Ming was sitting in an RV 1  not far from the exhibition area. He observed the movements of the entire exhibition hall comprehensively. The exhibition hall was transparent in Yang Ming’s eyes, and he could easily see every corner of the exhibition hall.

Although Yang Ming could see the entire situation, Yang Ming did not call Li Qiang to withdraw their men. This was also training for them. No matter how strong Yang Ming was, he was still alone after all. He wanted a powerful armed force. Only in this way, the Black Butterfly Assassin Group could let the world know of its existence quickly.

Sitting next to Yang Ming was Lu Xinyang (see chapter 642), the military adviser of the Black Butterfly Assassin Group. This was also considered as a training exercise from Yang Ming. Lu Xinyang was a man of wisdom, but he had not experienced such a big event many times before.

“What do you think?” Yang Ming asked Lu Xinyang faintly, “If you were a robber, what would you do?”

“I…” Lu Xinyang hesitated and somewhat did not dare to speak. After all, sitting in front of them was their big boss, an existence similar to God. Yang Ming’s skill was unpredictable, rogue-like, and average, usually like a punk’s street fighting moves. When Yang Ming used it, it was powerful enough to be deadly for anyone.

“Why? What is your concern?” Yang Ming frowned and asked.

“No…” Lu Xinyang shook his head and said, “I am afraid that I am not good enough, misleading your train of thought.”

“No problem. I’m just using it as a reference. Let’s talk about it,” said Yang Ming waving his hand. Lu Xinyang was more adept at using conspiracy. This was what Yang Ming lacked. To put it bluntly, Yang Ming was soft-hearted!

Today, in regards to Chen Mengyan’s matter, if it happened to another assassin, probably the host and the two bidders would have already lost their lives at that moment!

Yang Ming, only slightly taught the host a lesson, making him crippled. Yang Ming felt there was no reason to vent his anger on the two bidders, so he let them go.

Lu Xinyang hesitated a moment and then said, “Now it seems that the security of the entire exhibition hall is quite strict. If the other party is a person who knows the ins and outs, they should be able to see the difference between the people of our Black Butterfly and the people of Ming Yang Security Company. They wouldn’t dare to act rashly. If the other party can’t notice this, then such an opponent is not worthy of us to get a great number of people involved. We can deal with them easily.”

Yang Ming listened to Lu Xinyang’s analysis and nodded, then said, “Continue.”

“If it were me, in the case of such strict security measures, it is difficult to steal the jewels inside. Hence, I will create a diversion to steal the treasure!” Lu Xinyang said concisely.

“Creating a diversion?” Yang Ming suddenly became interested. Although Yang Ming had an intuitive grasp of the overall situation here, it was also a good thing if he could understand the conspiracy plan of the other party.

“Yes! It’s indeed creating a diversion.” Lu Xinyang nodded and said, “Only by distracting the attention of security personnel, will it be convenient to make a move.”

“It makes sense.” Yang Ming listened to Lu Xinyang’s analysis and agreed. “Do you mean that the other party will send two groups of people to carry out a robbery or theft?”

“Theoretically speaking – yes. According to the literal understanding of creating a diversion, the actual operation can involve three or even four groups of people. In short, the more people there are, the more chaotic it will be, and the more difficult it is to control. With that, it is easier for them to make a move. It works no matter which group of people is successful,” said Lu Xinyang.

Yang Ming patted Lu Xinyang’s shoulder and said, “Not bad. This military adviser is really worthy of the name.”

“Brother Yang, this is also my hobby…” Lu Xinyang showed a sly smile and changed his previously serious expression.

“Do you have a girlfriend?” Yang Ming changed to a relaxed topic and asked with a smile. It was a long night. It was very tough for two men to kill time together. Yang Ming naturally found some topics to consume time, but while talking, Yang Ming’s eyes were locked on the entire exhibition hall, observing the movements inside closely.

“I have…” Lu Xinyang scratched his head and said shyly, but he still answered Yang Ming’s question truthfully, “In my hometown… I called a few days ago, but I didn’t tell her about the things here. I only told her that I am a security guard in a security company.”

“After this, I will give you a vacation. You should let your girlfriend come over and have fun. I will pay for everything,” said Yang Ming.

“Really?” Lu Xinyang was gratified after listening to Yang Ming’s words. He said with some excitement, “That’s great! Brother Yang, you are really generous to us!”

“Naturally, there will be rewards. This time, it is quite nerve-wracking. It is also necessary to relax afterward, but the primary goal now is to safeguard the jewelry!” said Yang Ming.

Over there, both the surveillance room’s and the patrolling security guards were well prepared for the challenge. The entire exhibition hall was dark and quiet, but the inside was patrolled vigorously.

The darkness before dawn was the most terrifying. When the sky was slightly white, it was the time when one cannot lower one’s guard. Everyone understood this truth. The more they thought it would be fine with the sunrise, the more likely a problem would arise! Therefore, many people raised their alertness.

Finally, the bustling scene of the morning exercises, commute to work, and food selling had hinted the new day was here! The exhibition hall was also opened. The staff and dealers of the exhibition hall entered the market under the inspection of the security system. Yang Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

One day had passed; there were still six days left. He hoped that the next day would be the same as yesterday! However, this was obviously merely a wish. Yang Ming himself knew that this was impossible.

Perhaps for various reasons, the opponent did not choose to make a move on the first day. They would probably wait until everyone was exhausted, only to make a move on the last day, or when everyone thought that they would make a move on the last day, they would make a move on the second day.

In short, Yang Ming was not the other party. He couldn’t find out the other side’s ideas. He could only adapt according to the situation. He would do what he needed to do and follow his work systematically.

On this day, like yesterday, the customers of the exhibition hall were ushered in the busy schedule. Sure enough, it didn’t fall out of Yang Ming’s expectations. The person wearing the gray woolen coat yesterday appeared again today!

However, today, he did not wear the same outfit as yesterday. He wore a bluedown jacket 2  today. If Yang Ming did not pay special attention to him, it was hard to connect the same person from yesterday to today.

When Li Qiang saw this person, he immediately informed Yang Ming. Yang Ming asked Li Qiang to pay attention to that person at all times, but refrain from concentrating on that person completely!

After all, Yang Ming listened to Lu Xinyang’s analysis yesterday and felt that what he said was very reasonable. Under the current circumstances, the possibility of the enemy taking the strategy of creating a diversion was very high!

Therefore, if that person were more suspicious, Yang Ming did not think that he would be the ultimate robber. After all, the person’s whereabouts were questionable. If this were not discovered, then the enemy was underestimating Yang Ming’s security measures.

Moreover, Yang Ming didn’t think that the other person would be stupid enough to make this person the ultimate robber, in which case, the other party was too brainless.

Yang Ming started his routine patrol just like yesterday. During the security checkup in the morning, Yang Ming snuck in a little nap. He was now very energetic.

For Yang Ming, a long-term rigorously trained person, sleeping for a short time could solve the problem completely. Sleeping well did not depend on the length of sleep, but the quality of sleep.

Yang Ming had mastered Fang Tian’s unique sleeping style. As long as he slept for a little while, it was enough to replace others for a long time. This was also the reason why, in the past, Fang Tian did not sleep in the middle of the night and sang ” Straw Hat 3 .”

“Everything is normal!” Yang Ming received the news from Li Qiang and Bao Sanli. Everything was in the order they were scheduled.

In peace, there was often danger. The shock always came in an instant without any signs. The alarm inside the exhibition hall blared all of a sudden!

The direction of the alarm sound was precisely in the exhibition area! Yang Ming was surprised deep down in his heart and quickly went to the exhibition area. Although Yang Ming knew that this might be the enemy’s means of creating a diversion, a strategy to lure away the enemy from its territory, Yang Ming had to rush to the exhibition area in the first place. Yang Ming did not dare to be negligent!

When Yang Ming arrived at the exhibition area, the scene was already controlled by Li Qiang! Sure enough, the suspicious person in the blue down jacket was escorted in the middle. In front of him was a cracked showcase that had been smashed! In front of the showcase was an SLR digital camera that was deformed in shape.

The body of the camera was obviously specially manufactured. This camera could not be called a camera; it should be a lead block! It was only processed into the shape of a camera, and it was able to pass through the security check!

The alarm sounded because the showcase was cracked, and the automatic signal was generated!

Yang Ming frowned. This person obviously could not be the ultimate robber. This method was too ruthless and employed no technical skills with it. By using this method to grab the jewelry, his brain must be short-circuited or neuropathic. Otherwise, as long as he used his brain a little, this was simply an idiot’s behavior. It was impossible to succeed!

The suspicious person in the blue down jacket was completely controlled. On his body, in addition to this special “lead” camera, there were no longer any dangerous items!

“What should I do?” Li Qiang saw Yang Ming coming, so he asked Yang Ming.

“Send him to the police station…” Yang Ming didn’t think that this person would know anything. Even if he were in the same group as the “opponent,” he just had a small role. He would never be in contact with any matters involving the core figures.

Therefore, Yang Ming did not need to interrogate since it would be a waste of time. The safest way was to hand it directly to the police station.

Li Qiang nodded. Apparently, he didn’t think that the man would know anything… but it was a bit strange. The man’s approach was a little too radical. It was a failure, but he still had to do it. Why?

“Brother Yang, what this person did does not seem to make sense, right?” Li Qiang asked inexplicably.

The man in the blue down jacket was tied up by Li Qiang’s men. He was about to be sent to the police station.

Creating a diversion ! Yang Ming was shocked and remembered what Lu Xinyang had said before, so he immediately informed Li Qiang, “Tell everyone to enter the first level of alert at once! Don’t be careless!”

Li Qiang was just about to say something when seven or eight masked individuals, wearing sportswear, rushed into the exhibition area! However, their hair color hinted that there were from various countries.

” Dadadada …” The sound of bullets shot came over. One of them, who was a bit tall and sturdy and looked like the leader, shouted, “Do not move. Hold your head and kneel on the ground…”

Guns? How did they get in? This was Yang Ming’s first reaction.
