Chapter 1727: No Sense of Security

“Hey?!” Fan Jinzhe was dumbfounded by Yang Ming’s words! At first, he thought that as long as he understood how Yang Ming’s friends died, he could carefully refrain from these things when the time came. Then, he could avoid these situations. However, what Yang Ming said seemed to indicate that the causes of death were varied. Some succumbed to diseases, some were run over by a car, and some accidentally slipped and fell to death. What was even more abominable were those who hit the curb while riding a motorcycle, then developed cancer, and died…

Could you really develop cancer if you hit the curb? This did not seem in line with science? But, then again, this sort of thing called a Vengeful Spirit was not scientific. Before today, Fan Jinzhe would not believe it, but after listening to Yang Ming recounting his thoughts in detail, Fan Jinzhe had to believe that there really were ghosts and gods in this world.

Then based on Yang Ming’s explanation, whatever I do will not help? I can only stay at home and not go out? No, according to Yang Ming, there is a possibility that one may succumb to diseases while at home. Then, does that mean I am done for?

Thinking of this, beads of sweat ran down Fan Jinzhe’s brow. He was quivering in fear…

“The Vengeful Spirit just talked to me again,” said Yang Ming solemnly after cheekily looking at Fan Jinzhe.

“Ah? what did the Vengeful Spirit say?” Fan Jinzhe quickly asked just to see if things had taken a turn for the better.

“The Vengeful Spirit just said, Don’t think of useless things. Whatever you do will be useless. Even if you stay at home, you will not be safe. Your death is inevitable!” Yang Ming said.

“Wail——” Fan Jinzhe screamed, his legs went soft as he knelt on the ground. His body involuntarily bent down. He kowtowed his head on the ground and beseeched, “Vengeful Spirit, I beg you. Please let me go. I don’t want to die yet. I had no intention of offending you. Don’t come and look for me again. I really had no intention. Please be forgiving, great master. Do not hold your grudge against a commoner like me, please…”

Fan Jinzhe’s nose was running, and tears were streaming down his face. He was as plaintive as he could get. His head was almost fuming with smoke!

Fan Jinzhe was still a little skeptical about the Vengeful Spirit before. Now, when Yang Ming shared his inner thoughts in detail for the second time, Fan Jinzhe could no longer doubt its existence!

The reason being how could there be such a coincidence in the world? If you were able to guess it the first time, would you be able to guess it the second time? Besides, there was no conflict between him and Yang Ming. The only conflict was probably merely a joke between them. He also did not believe that Yang Ming was such a narrow-minded person that made such a farce to scare him.

So, Fan Jinzhe believed it. He truly believed in the Vengeful Spirit’s existence. The world was full of extraordinary things. Now, there were still so many things that could not be explained by science. So, it might be possible for this Vengeful Spirit to exist.

Fan Jinzhe could not care less about his poise. If he had to lose face in front of Zhao Ying, then so be it. There was nothing more important than his own life. What’s the point of having a beautiful woman when one’s life was forfeit?

Fan Jinzhe was kneeling for half an hour, and his head was soaked with blood and bruised from knocking his head on the floor. He then raised his head carefully. “Mr. Yang, what does that Vengeful Spirit say now? Did it say that it would let me off after seeing me confess my wrongdoings sincerely?”

“The Vengeful Spirit didn’t say anything,” Yang Ming spread out his hands and said helplessly with a sympathetic look on his face.

“Ah? It didn’t say anything?” Fan Jinzhe was dumbfounded. He was busy repenting just to win the understanding and sympathy of the Vengeful Spirit. Why did it not say a word?

“Yeah.” Yang Ming nodded.

“Well… could you please plead leniency from the Vengeful Spirit?” Fan Jinzhe asked carefully.

“Mr. Fan, aren’t you thinking too highly of me? Do you know how aloof and remote the Vengeful Spirit is? How can I communicate with it? If it doesn’t possess my body, maybe it will not even bother to talk to me! It is the one who took the initiative to look for me every time. I can’t even find it!” Yang Ming said while sighing.

“Ah, in that case…” Fan Jinzhe was completely dumbfounded this time. He did not expect that he would be so unlucky today. He had created a huge disaster just because of one wrong word.

“Mr.Fan, actually, I sympathize with you, but I really cannot help you, just like the people who partnered with me in the past. When I saw that they had offended the Vengeful Spirit, I really wanted to help them. But this kind of helplessness. I think you understand. I know that they are going to die, but I can’t do anything about it…” Yang Ming closed his eyes in pain. “Do you understand this kind of feeling?”

“I… I understand…” Fan Jinzhe said in distress.

“Now that you understand, that’s good. Rest assured, if you really have an accident, I will burn you a piece of Joss paper[1] every year,” said Yang Ming firmly.

“I… I know. You can stop telling me…” Fan Jinzhe could not be bothered to please Zhao Ying. With a distracted expression, he stood up and swayed out of the private room.

Yang Ming changed his formerly sad expression. He became incomparably calm and tranquil. He walked over and closed the private room’s door and then walked back with ease. He then sat on the sofa and shrugged his shoulders. “That annoying guy finally left. He was ruining my mood. ”

“Haha…” Sun Jie finally could not help laughing out loud. At first, she was still laughing normally. But later on, Sun Jie laughed until tears came out of her eyes. “I have never seen such a dumb person. He can be scared witless just by a Vengeful Spirit. I am speechless…”

Zhao Ying was initially still shy and moody. At this moment, she could not help but be infected by Sun Jie’s emotions and laugh out loud.

“Is that so funny?” Yang Ming looked somewhat dismayed at the two laughing beauties who were swaying back and forth. How is what I said just fabricated nonsense? It is good technical content, right? To scare this Fan Jinzhe, I had to use my special abilities twice!

However, it was plausible that only Fan Jinzhe could understand this mystery. Sun Jie and Zhao Ying did not know that Fan Jinzhe was so scared because Yang Ming had guessed Fan Jinzhe’s heartfelt thoughts. They thought that Fan Jinzhe acted like that because he was a coward.

“How is it not funny? I don’t expect Fan Jinzhe to be so timid!” said Sun Jie with a sigh after she stopped laughing. “Zhao Ying, this kind of man will not provide you a sense of security. I guess that when you are in peril, he will be the first to run away even faster than a rabbit! I think you should consider it. For now, let’s forget about this.”

It would be better if Sun Jie did not say these words. Once she said it, it reminded Zhao Ying of several things from her past. She thought of that time when she and Yang Ming encountered a robber. She remembered that Yang Ming did not hesitate and stood in front of her…

When it came to a sense of security, the first person that came to Zhao Ying’s mind was Yang Ming. As for Fan Jinzhe, Zhao Ying did not even consider or think about him.

When she thought of all of the things in the past, Zhao Ying could not help but have a fascinating expression on her face. Zhao Ying sighed faintly. After all, the past was the past.

“I am a bit tired. I want to go back to rest,” said Zhao Ying.

“Ah? You are leaving before you even start to eat?” Sun Jie was distracted for a while and immediately understood. Zhao Ying must be hiding something from her. She might feel that the current situation was a little awkward so that she wanted to go home and have some quiet time.

“En, I’m not eating. You guys go ahead.” Zhao Ying’s tone was still soft, but it had an imposing manner that made her word impossible to reject.

“Okay, then we will send you back first.” Yang Ming also knew that today was not a good time to talk. With Sun Jie present, Zhao Ying still could not let go. Although I already know the nature of her relationship with Sun Jie, Zhao Ying is not Xiao Qing. She and Sun Jie are good friends. However, the relationships between Sun Jie and Xiao Qing and Sun Jie and Zhao Ying are very different.

It may be a good thing to give Zhao Ying some space to calm herself down. Once she has calmed down, I will go and have a private conversation with her while trying to unravel her sore point.

“No need. I can go back on my own.” Zhao Ying waved her hand. “It’s not too late now. There are so many taxis in front of the hotel. You guys don’t have to worry about it.”

Seeing Zhao Ying being so firm, Yang Ming had no choice but to say, “Then, I will walk you down the stairs. Is that okay?”

“En…” This time, Zhao Ying had no other ways to reject. She could only nod her head.

“Little Jie, you wait for me in the private room. I’ll go down to send Sister Ying home.” Yang Ming stood up and put on his coat.

“You call me Little Jie while you called Zhao Ying as Sister Ying. Yang Ming, doesn’t this seem incorrect?” Sun Jie heard Yang Ming simply addressing both of them. She glanced at him and hinted, “I’m about the same age as Zhao Ying!”

“Ugh… then I will call you Little Ying?” asked Yang Ming, glancing at Zhao Ying.

“No, Little Ying doesn’t sound nice.” Zhao Ying glared helplessly at Sun Jie, secretly blaming her for being talkative. Yang Ming and Zhao Ying had not reached that stage of relationship yet. It was natural for Yang Ming to address her as “Sister Ying”. Sun Jie, however, was Yang Ming’s girlfriend. Although she was older than Yang Ming, there was no problem for him to call her Little Jie. Between couples, it did not matter how both sides addressed each other.

Yang Ming smiled awkwardly and exited the private room with Zhao Ying.

Chapter 1728: Tired and Happy

“Shall I call you Sister Ying?” Yang Ming asked Zhao Ying tentatively in the elevator.

“En…” Zhao Ying said quietly.

“…” Yang Ming wanted to find some topics to talk about. However, after thinking that Zhao Ying was not in a good mood today, he decided to give up. In such a situation, if he persisted in saying something meaningless, it would be counterproductive and make the situation more awkward. It was better to wait until Zhao Ying had calmed down to talk.

Outside the hotel, Yang Ming glanced at Fan Jinzhe who was standing in the hotel’s parking. He could not help but laugh.

Fan Jinzhe was beside his Honda Accord. In front of it, there was a Toyota Camry. The front of Fan Jinzhe’s car had rammed into the back of the Camry. Both cars were seriously damaged.

It appeared that Fan Jinzhe must have been in a daze when he came out of the hotel. He was not focused when he drove and hit the car in front.

Zhao Ying apparently saw Fan Jinzhe in the parking lot, but it seemed that she was not interested in Fan Jinzhe’s affairs. She just gave a quick glance, then looked away uninterested.

Seeing that Zhao Ying was not interested, Yang Ming did not pause any longer but walked with Zhao Ying towards the designated taxi passenger waiting area.

“Ei?” Yang Ming’s eyes brightened up when he saw one particular taxi.

When he saw that car, Yang Ming pulled Zhao Ying and walked towards it quickly.

“Why are you still walking? Haven’t we already walked past?” asked Zhao Ying, pointing to the taxi parked in the first parking lot.

“I see an acquaintance. We will take his car,” Yang Ming said to Zhao Ying. “So, I can rest assured.”

“Oh…” Zhao Ying nodded.

The taxi driver who was waiting in the first parking lot was also a little bewildered. The two people did not get in my car but went to the car behind me. What is the reason for this?

The driver was a little dismayed. When he saw that Yang Ming was greeting the driver of the taxi behind him, he immediately understood. The taxi driver was Yang Ming’s acquaintance. So, there was nothing he could do.

“Brother Kun!” Yang Ming walked over, opened the door of the taxi, and shouted inside.

“Yang Ming? How come you are here?” Sun Kun looked up in astonishment, thinking that the world was really small. He met up with someone he knew twice in a day.

“Hehe, I’m eating here,” Yang Ming said as he pointed at the International Hotel behind him. “Brother Kun, I need to trouble you for something. Can you help me send my friend home?”

“No problem!” Sun Kun agreed without a second thought. “Your friend… ei? ”

When Sun Kun’s gaze fell upon Zhao Ying, he could not help but be stunned! When he first met Yang Ming, Yang Ming was with this girl. At that time, Yang Ming was acting like a knight in shining armor.

At that time, Sun Kun thought that this girl was Yang Ming’s girlfriend. However, at a later stage, Yang Ming did not bring this girl out again, and Sun Kun never saw Zhao Ying again.

So, the memory of that occurrence had slowly faded. Especially after he saw Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun, Sun Kun thought that he had misunderstood. Zhao Ying was not Yang Ming’s girlfriend.

But today, when he saw Zhao Ying again, Sun Kun could not help but be distracted. When he saw Yang Ming holding Zhao Ying’s hand again, he was even more suspicious. Could it be that she is also Yang Ming’s girlfriend? My little brother is way too awesome, right?

“Sister Ying, Master Sun Kun. Do you remember Brother Kun?” Yang Ming pointed to Sun Kun and asked Zhao Ying.

“Ah! You were the taxi driver at that time!” Zhao Ying thought that Sun Kun looked a bit familiar. After Yang Ming asked her, her mind instantly flashed back to that time!

She remembered that Sun Kun was the taxi driver who teased that she and Yang Ming were a couple! Thinking of this, Zhao Ying could not help but blush and also call him “Brother Kun” along with Yang Ming.

“Haha, I didn’t expect to meet another acquaintance today. So, get in the car!” Sun Kun said with a smile.

Yang Ming opened the taxi’s door and let Zhao Ying get in the car, only to find out that both their hands were still clasped together! He could not contain his embarrassment and quickly loosened his hand.

Before this, Yang Ming was holding Zhao Ying’s hand to find Sun Kun. It was just an instinct. To make sure that Zhao Ying was following him, he subconsciously held Zhao Ying’s hand.

On the other hand, Zhao Ying did not think much at first but let herself be instinctively pulled along by Yang Ming. She also did not feel that anything was wrong. She became shy at this moment.

“Brother Kun, please help me send Sister Ying home. I still need to go back to the hotel,” said Yang Ming to Sun Kun.

“You are not getting in the car together with her? Okay then, no problem,” Sun Kun felt slightly weird, but nodded and agreed. “Where to?”

“Huashang District.” Yang Ming said, “Sister Ying, my mind is at peace knowing that Brother Kun will send you home.”

“En, you go back.” Zhao Ying nodded to Yang Ming. Although she was upset beyond words, Zhao Ying felt that it was not appropriate to show it with Sun Kun around them.

Watching Sun Kun’s car leaving with Zhao Ying inside, Yang Ming sighed and turned towards the hotel’s door. With Sun Kun sending Zhao Ying home, Yang Ming did not have to worry about whether Zhao Ying would encounter any problems.

He glanced in Fan Jinzhe’s direction and saw that he was still anxiously waiting there. Maybe, Fan Jinzhe was waiting for the traffic police to handle it or waiting for the insurance company.

Back in the private room, Yang Ming and Sun Jie were not in a good mood over what happened to Zhao Ying earlier. After hastily finishing the food, Yang Ming took Sun Jie to his penthouse on the top floor of the hotel.

As soon as the door closed, Sun Jie threw herself onto Yang Ming’s body. Without any words, the two people embraced each other tacitly, as if they were venting out their repressed emotions…

Listening to the sound of gurgling water from the bathroom where Sun Jie was bathing, Yang Ming smiled bitterly. Among his several women, only Sun Jie and Lan Ling had this level of enthusiasm.

He could only keep up with it because of the extraordinary physical strength he developed from the special assassin training. Any other person would probably be unable to handle it. Looking at the wall clock in the hall, it was already one o’clock in the morning. He and Sun Jie were at it for five or six hours…

Yang Ming hesitated as he picked up the gift that Su Ya had left on the coffee table before she left. However, he did not open it but returned it to its original place.

This gift was given to him by Su Ya in her superstar identity, Shu Ya. Inside the gift may be something that alluded to her true identity. But Yang Ming already knew Su Ya’s identity now. This gift had become unimportant. Yang Ming decided not to open it so that he would not be disappointed. So, he left it as a romantic memory of superstar Shu Ya and him.

Sometimes, some things ceased to be beautiful when they became too clear.

“Yang Ming, why are you dilly-dallying over there instead of coming over to help me rub my back?” Sun Jie complained from inside the bathroom. “Don’t you want to go to bed with me at night?”

Yang Ming was amused by Sun Jie’s words. Luckily it’s me. If it were someone else, they would be eager to not go to bed with you. This high-intensity exercise had gone on for several hours. Who could sustain it?

Yang Ming felt that tonight Sun Jie wanted to release all of her lust which had been suppressed for a long time.

“Coming…” But Yang Ming stood up and walked towards the bathroom. Now that I have chosen such a path, I might as well let myself be tired and happy in the future…

“While you are there, get the cleansing lotion in my bag and hand it over to me!” Sun Jie added.

“Oh…” Yang Ming forced a smile. Sun Jie, the superwoman, was also an ordinary person when she was at home…
