Chapter 1883: Shirking Responsibility

Govisik became extremely angry when he heard that Headless Wolf had run away with the Guillotine Gang’s funds. After he listened to his subordinate’s report, he threw the documents in his hands to the ground.

“Oh god, I knew that this boy couldn’t be trusted!” Govisik said resentfully! He couldn’t even handle one thing, and after messing up, he even ran away without saying anything. Why is this man so unreliable?

“Boss, do you think we should send someone to find this kid?” The subordinate asked carefully when he saw his boss was angry.

“Forget it!” Govisik waved his hand. Although Headless Wolf had taken a lot of money, it was nothing but a drop in the ocean to him. Not to mention he should have consideration for others. Headless Wolf’s sister was his mistress. She had been serving him well. Govisik didn’t want to find trouble with Headless Wolf anymore. “You go out first!”

“Yes…” The subordinate carefully exited Govisik’s office and closed the office door.

Govisik was in deep contemplation. Although he knew that Headless Wolf did not have much ability, a gang boss had many subordinates. Even if Headless Wolf couldn’t do it, his subordinates should be able to do it, right? But since they were all eradicated by Yang Ming in one fell swoop, this also illustrated the problem!

Previously, the family master had greeted him and asked him to cooperate with Klass to mess with Yang Ming. The family master didn’t make it sound like a big deal at all. However, the situation had developed step-by-step to a point where it was out of his control. This Yang Ming did not seem to be a simple character. Among his subordinates, besides the one who was relatively superior at fighting, there should be another large group of people who could fight. Otherwise, the Guillotine Gang would not be completely eradicated.

It seems I can’t make the decision for this matter. Govisik decided to report it to the family master to see what decision the family master would make.

Thinking of this, Govisik called the family master. At this point, even if he wanted to hide it, he couldn’t. Govisik initially did not want to tell the family master about this matter. After he caught Yang Ming, he would report to the family master. This way, he could show that he was decisive and wise after getting into trouble. Although Klass deserved death, it could be considered avenging Klass if Govisik caught Yang Ming in time. The family master would not only say nothing, but he might even praise him.

However, the situation was now beyond Govisik’s control. Govisik wanted to catch Yang Ming but he couldn’t in the end. Yang Ming even ended up eradicating the Guillotine Gang. The matter was becoming bigger, and as for the family master’s side… There were also things that could not be justified!

“Hello? Hello, this is the Nancheng Family,” The voice of the Nancheng Family’s butler came from the phone.

“Hello butler, I’m Govisik, the person-in-charge of the family’s operations in Las Vegas,” said Govisik respectfully. Although this butler was not anyone great, he was still a person near the family master. Govisik had to carefully flatter him.

“Oh, Mr. Govisik, what’s the matter?” The butler’s attitude towards the people-in-charge of the family’s important cities was still very good. When he heard it was Govisik, he asked with a smile.

“I’m looking for the family master. There is something important to report!” said Govisik carefully.

“Alright, wait a minute!” The butler put down the phone and informed the family master. After getting a positive answer, he transferred the call. After a short while, the Nancheng Family’s family master, Jotans’ voice came from the telephone, “Is this Govisik? What’s the matter?”

“Family master, I have something important to report to you…” Govisik carefully organized his words. Of course, he wouldn’t speak frankly. He wanted to relinquish his responsibility as best as he could, so he thought about how to word it before he called. “It’s about Klass!”

“Oh, what’s wrong? Didn’t I ask you to assist Klass? Is he quite satisfied?” Jotans asked.

“Family master… something happened to Klass. He… was killed!” Govisik said sorrowfully.

“What? Killed? What happened? Didn’t I ask you to help him? He was actually killed in your territory. How are you running things in Las Vegas?” Jotans became angry immediately. This Klass was introduced by Alice. The Nancheng Family growing this large was inseparable from Alice’s support. If something bad happened to this Klass, how was he going to tell Alice?

“Family master, don’t get angry yet. Let me explain first!” said Govisik carefully.

“Explain? Explain what? Then tell me, what the hell is going on!” Jotans was infuriated.

“Family master, this is actually the case. Klass only borrowed our casino to gamble with that Yang Ming. I wanted to help him do some things, but he refused. You know, he also brought two teams with him, so he didn’t care about my help!” Govisik explained. “So although I did want to help, I didn’t dare to act rashly without Klass’s permission!”

“En, keep talking!” Jotans was no longer as angry after listening to Govisik’s explanation. After all, Govisik’s words were reasonable! Klass brought his own people, and it was normal for him to not let Govisik intervene.

“In the end, he and Yang Ming bet their lives in the casino by using a revolver with a bullet in it. They each took one shot at a time…” Govisik described the situation at that time to Jotans. “Family master, he himself wanted to play something exciting, and when he was about to lose, he made a scene. As a result, he was killed by a bullet from Yang Ming. Who can be blamed for this?”

“So it was like this!” Jotans understood the reason for Klass’s death and was not as annoyed anymore. “What about Yang Ming? Did you catch him?”

“Sigh… don’t mention it anymore!” Govisik said irritatedly. “I don’t know what kind of monster Klass provoked. That Yang Ming is terrifying! I initially thought that since Klass died in my territory, I naturally couldn’t forgive that Yang Ming! So I asked my subordinates, the Guillotine Gang, to catch Yang Ming, and it turned out…Sigh, I’m so mad! This Klass really knows how to find trouble!”

“What happened?” Listening to Govisik’s complaints, Jotans found it a little strange. “Is that Yang Ming hard to deal with?”

“He’s more than hard to deal with. He’s just impossible to deal with!” Govisik smiled bitterly. “He eradicated my entire Guillotine Gang and spared no one! This was a team that I painstakingly ran for many years. Just because of this Klass matter, they were wiped out in a single day. Family master, you have to help me get justice! Who introduced this Klass? Be sure to tell them off! He just brought us trouble. That Yang Ming is such a ruthless man. Why did we provoke him!?”

Govisik cleanly pushed away all the responsibility for his wrong commands and put it all on Klass. He made himself look like a victim, making it seem like he sent the Guillotine Gang to their deaths to help Klass.

Sure enough, Jotans frowned after listening to Govisik’s complaints. Although he was a bit angry at Govisik sending the Guillotine Gang their deaths, he thought that all this was caused by Klass and did not direct his anger to Govisik. Instead, he felt that Govisik was really innocent and was really unlucky, so he said, “Okay! Stop complaining! Behind Klass is Miss Alice. Our family reached this point today by relying on her. It’s just a little gang. If it’s gone, it’s gone! Just form a new one!”

Govisik certainly knew that Miss Alice was behind Klass. He did not really intend for the family master to tell Miss Alice off. He was just showing a dissatisfied attitude to divert the family master’s attention and shirk responsibility.

When he heard the family master say this, Govisik breathed a sigh of relief. “Alright, since the family master said so, then I can only acknowledge that this was a stroke of bad luck!”

“En, that’s right! Also, since Yang Ming is so powerful, don’t get involved in this matter. I’ll go and report to Miss Alice!” said Jotans.

“Oh right, family master, there is also another very important thing. Yang Ming demanded you to meet him within 24 hours. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!” Govisik felt that it was necessary to pass on this sentence to the family master as it could also highlight how powerful and arrogant Yang Ming was.

Chapter 1884: Alice’s Phone Call

“En, I got it,” Jotans said lightly after listening. “I will deal with it.”

Jotans was very annoyed when he heard Govisik’s recounting of Yang Ming’s words. Even if you are somewhat capable and could crush the entire Guillotine Gang, there is no need to be so arrogant. This Yang Ming actually dares to threaten me, saying that there will be consequences if I do not show up in twenty-four hours! Who does he think he is!

……

After Yang Ming returned to the hotel, he looked for Alice’s phone number in his cell phone and dialed it directly. Yang Ming hadn’t gone to school for a while. He didn’t know how Alice was doing in school. However, since she started school, she had never looked for him nor had she caused trouble with Chen Mengyan and others. As a result, Yang Ming was too lazy to care about her. He just let her do whatever she wanted.

However, when Yang Ming learned that the Nancheng Family was related to Alice, Yang Ming decided to give her a hint! Yang Ming already knew that Alice and the behind-the-scenes boss were allied together. Most likely, this Klass incident was also related to the behind-the-scenes boss.

Since this is the case, I should simply give Alice a call and tell her that I’m about to deal with the Nancheng Family to irritate her!

“Hello? Hello?” Alice looked at the unfamiliar number on her mobile phone and answered the call with some confusion. This was her personal number. No one knew it except for a few familiar people she told. Alice had not seen this number before. It seemed to be a number transferred from abroad, so Alice was a bit puzzled.

“Alice, it’s me, Yang Ming,” said Yang Ming.

“Ah? Yang Ming?” Alice was startled. Her hand holding the phone slightly tightened. However, after hearing Yang Ming’s voice, Alice was relieved for no reason. Her inexplicable irritable mood from before also suddenly disappeared…

Since Yang Ming had called her at this time, it meant that nothing had happened to Yang Ming. Instead, he was alive and well. Then there was only one result. Klass had failed.

Alice carefully looked at her brother who was talking to Huang Youcai not far away. Alice lowered her voice and said to Yang Ming on the phone, “Wait for me, I’m in class. I’ll look for a place I can talk.”

“Okay.” Yang Ming naturally didn’t know that Alice was with the behind-the-scenes boss and his accomplices. When he heard that she was in class, he didn’t doubt her either.

Alice noticed that her brother and Huang Youcai hadn’t noticed her yet, so she took the phone and walked far away until she reached an inconspicuous corner. She then said, “Yang Ming, is there anything? You haven’t contacted me for so long. I thought you forgot about me!”

Alice didn’t know what she was thinking. She just said these words naturally. Her mood was also much better than before…

Earlier, when her brother said that he wanted Klass and the Nancheng Family to deal with Yang Ming, Alice didn’t want to agree to this request for some reason. In the end, under her brother’s request, she still called the Nancheng Family and gave them some assignments.

However, after that, Alice was in a state of extreme irritability. For some reason, she hoped that Klass’s plan would fail… She didn’t want anything to happen to Yang Ming like this…

After having these thoughts, Alice was also taken aback! How can I have such thoughts? She took a careful look at her brother and realized that he still hadn’t noticed. While Alice was secretly relieved, she also became more irritated.

On the one hand, she was worried about this Klass matter. On the other hand, she didn’t know what had happened to her. She actually didn’t want an enemy to die. When she thought of Yang Ming dying, she felt her heart throb for no reason…

“No way. I’m just a little busy recently.” Yang Ming said in his heart, This chick is quite good at acting. She already sent someone to kill me, yet she’s not surprised to hear that I’m not dead. She’s even engaging in small talk with me like nothing happened.

“Hehe, let’s go out for dinner together when you have time! I really miss you, Yanyan and Victoria,” Alice spoke up till here and could not help but blush. She didn’t know why, but she didn’t want to bring Wang Xiaoyan and Victoria and just wanted to go out alone with Yang Ming… Alice was taken aback by her messy thoughts!

What happened to me? Could it be…? Alice didn’t dare to think further and shook her head… My only mission is to help my brother accomplish that great thing… How can I think about these things?

“Hehe, we’ll talk when I have time.” Yang Ming didn’t take it seriously. “Oh right, the reason I’m looking for you this time is that I have something to tell you. That Nancheng Family, I heard that you’re supporting them from behind?”

“Ah…” Alice’s heart started to “thump” because of Yang Ming’s sudden words. Her face suddenly paled. “Yeah… why do you ask this suddenly?”

Why do I ask this suddenly? Yang Ming sneered. Aren’t you asking a question for which you already know the answer? You know what you did and you’re even asking me why.

“Hehe, this Nancheng Family has provoked me. I’m going to destroy them. Is that okay?” Yang Ming asked with a smile. Since you asked me why, I don’t need to be courteous with you.

“Ah…” Alice was stunned. She didn’t expect Yang Ming to be so ruthless as to destroy the Nancheng Family directly! Alice was suddenly in a dilemma. She knew that it was normal for Yang Ming to direct this anger to the Nancheng Family because of this matter, and Yang Ming must have found out she was supporting the Nancheng family through investigation… I just wonder if Yang Ming suspects me?

“The Nancheng Family… How did they provoke you?” Alice hesitated. She pretended to know nothing and asked carefully.

“Hehe, it’s nothing. I just can’t stand looking at them!” Yang Ming was too lazy to explain further. He thought, Since you already know what they did, I don’t need to tell you in detail.

“In that case…” Alice didn’t expect Yang Ming to answer like this and suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. “Yang Ming, how did they provoke you? If it is not serious, I’ll talk to them and ask them to apologize to you? Or compensation is fine too. After all, they are a family I support. Can you show me some face?”

“Apologize? Compensation?” Yang Ming naturally knew that Alice would plead for mercy for the Nancheng Family. But Yang Ming was now considering whether to become hostile with Alice and directly expose Alice’s identity.

However, Yang Ming reconsidered and felt that now was not a good time. He was not in Song Jiang. If he caused trouble with Alice at this time, she might target his family or friends! Even a worm could turn [1]! Because of this matter, the behind-the-scenes boss had begun to deal with friends around him. Yang Ming couldn’t guarantee what they would do when they were desperate!

So, Yang Ming hesitated. This Nancheng Family was just one of Alice’s lackeys. Without Alice, they would not be able to set off any storms. It was imperative that he dealt with the behind-the-scenes boss. However, if he didn’t spill some of the Nancheng Family’s blood, he would be a bit unsatisfied. Also, he had already sent the message asking the family master of the Nancheng family to come to see him in twenty-four hours. If he didn’t honor that, wouldn’t Yang Ming become a joke?

“Yes, I can make him apologize and compensate!” Alice said affirmatively.

“Well, then ask the Nancheng Family’s family master to come to the Douglas Vast Hotel in Las Vegas where I’m staying within twenty-four hours to apologize to me and give me some compensation. Let’s talk more when we meet!” Yang Ming agreed with Alice.

“Okay, I’ll call them to teach them a lesson now and ask their family master to apologize to you!” Alice was relieved. She didn’t want Yang Ming to take revenge on the Nancheng Family because of this matter. After all, they were her team, not her brother’s.

And she didn’t want Yang Ming to lose face, so Alice agreed with Yang Ming’s each and every request without a second thought.
