Chapter 1576: Traps on the Road
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Alas, most of the hired workers in the outer area did not know the forces behind this processing plant.
The workers in the outer area didn’t care about Yang Ming and Liu Yezi following the chubby man toward the inner office. After all, people who came to discuss business would be taken to the back by the chubby man. As for where they went later, the workers didn’t know.
After traversing a spacious corridor, the chubby man turned around and walked into a small emergency stairwell. After going down the stairs, he went through a small narrow hallway before stopping and knocking on the door of a storage room.
He seemed to knock in an orderly and rhythmic way. It must be something like a password.
After a while, the storage room door was opened. Inside stood two macho men holding guns, and they aimed the muzzle at Yang Ming and Liu Yezi.
However, after seeing Liu Yezi, the macho man who was pointing the muzzle at Liu Yezi changed his aim to Yang Ming.
“I’m sorry, this is the rule. Please show me your credentials.” The chubby man turned around and said to Yang Ming seriously.
“No problem.” Yang Ming was not angry. After all, the chubby man was just being careful. Although he was brought by Liu Yezi, this was his first time here. There was nothing wrong with them being serious and careful.
Yang Ming took out his credentials and handed it to the chubby man as he spoke.
The chubby man took the credentials, carefully inspected it for a while, then scanned it with a machine in the side door of the storage room. After confirming the information displayed on the machine matched with Yang Ming’s credentials, the chubby man returned the credentials to Yang Ming, and the two macho men aiming their guns at Yang Ming also stood down.
“Mr. Yang! Welcome! I’m sorry about just now!” The chubby man returned the credentials to Yang Ming and explained again.
“It’s fine. I understand.” Yang Ming smiled, indicating that he didn’t mind.
“This is the expert from the Secret Services team – Yang Ming. He assisted in Li Dianchi’s arrest.” Liu Yezi briefly introduced Yang Ming’s identity, then said to Yang Ming, “We all call this guy Fatty. He’s our liaison here and his apparent identity is the manager of this car recycling plant.”
“Hello, Mr. Yang!” Fatty kindly presented his hand.
Yang Ming shook hands with him, “No need to be polite. I’ll call you Fatty too. Let’s go and see Li Dianchi first?”
“Okay, please follow me.” Fatty led Yang Ming and Liu Yezi to the locker room. The two macho men behind them closed the door after Yang Ming and the others entered.
This storage room was just the entrance to the secret passage. After opening a hidden door on the storage room’s wall, Fatty took Yang Ming and Liu Yezi into the passage, passing through several rugged crossings. When he reached a dead end, Fatty skillfully operated a hidden mechanism on the wall, and they all got out of the passage.
They had entered a deserted underground space. There were no lights and it was dark, but Yang Ming’s eyes could clearly see that there was a car parked further ahead.
Sure enough, Fatty got in the car, turned on the lights, and the underground space was lit up.
“Get in the car,” said Fatty.
Liu Yezi apparently had been here before as there was no look of surprise on his face. Yang Ming had already seen the situation inside, so he was not surprised either.
However, Fatty secretly admired Yang Ming who did not seem to be scared. He is indeed an expert. No matter what, he is not afraid.
“Mr. Yang, so Li Dianchi was caught with your help. When Little Yezi mentioned it, I was surprised. You are truly an expert. It’s a pity that I didn’t see it. But when I met Mr. Yang today, I only then realized that you are so young! So young yet so promising!” said Fatty while driving.
“He…” Yang Ming smiled plainly, but suddenly he looked stern. He quickly got up to pull the car’s handbrake and shouted to Fatty, “Stop!”
Fatty was shocked. He subconsciously stepped on the brakes, and abruptly stopped the car. However, Fatty felt somewhat confused, “What happened? Mr. Yang?”
“There is a problem with the road.” Yang Ming frowned.
“There’s a problem? It’s impossible! I have driven on this road thousands of times, and there is an automatic cruise system in the car. There is nothing wrong with it!” If Fatty didn’t confirm Yang Ming’s identity, he wouldn’t be talking so nicely to Yang Ming.
His sudden action almost scared me to death!
Yang Ming did not explain. He just jumped off the car. He walked quickly to the front of the car, then picked up a small box from the ground. He stood up and handed it directly to Fatty, “Look at it yourself.”
Fatty did not expect Yang Ming to really pick up something off the ground. He took it with some doubts. At a glance, his face changed drastically and became unsightly!
“This… who put this here?” As Fatty said this, cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
Fatty’s vision was not bad. This was a small bomb. The trigger switch was located on top. As soon as the car pressed it, it would detonate. Then…
“I don’t know about this. You need to investigate it yourself.” Yang Ming shrugged and said plainly.
Yang Ming did not doubt Fatty, but who was Yang Ming? He was the new generation of the King of Assassins, so he was always careful and vigilant. Especially in an unfamiliar environment, he would not lower his guard.
Although Fatty’s car was cruising automatically, and it seemed that even Liu Yezi had used this road a few times before, Yang Ming remained vigilant and kept staring at the road in front of him.
Sure enough, Yang Ming found a problem on the road not far away.
“Mr. Yang… I…” Fatty knew that he had become the target of suspicion…
“No need to say anything. I don’t doubt you.” Yang Ming said, “Unless you want to die yourself. If this bomb was pressed, let alone you and me, even this car would be blown up.”
“This… Thank you…” Fatty was relieved after hearing Yang Ming’s words. However, no matter who placed it here, it was his territory, so he couldn’t escape the blame.
“Let’s not talk about this. Let’s quickly go and see Li Dianchi. If my guess is correct, he has already been killed.” Yang Ming sighed. It seems that something is wrong with Fatty’s inner circle. However, this was not Yang Ming’s scope of responsibility after all, and he couldn’t control that much.
“Okay!” Fatty took a breath, shut down the car’s cruise control system, and prepared to drive himself. After all, such a thing had happened. Who knew if there were similar traps on the road later on? Fatty did not dare to take it lightly.
“Go at full speed. There are no more detonators in front,” Yang Ming plainly said as he discerned Fatty’s thoughts. Yang Ming did not stand aside doing nothing. Now that he had found such a trap, Yang Ming did not dare to fool around with his life. He had searched the road ahead with special abilities; at least there were no traps within a certain range. Even if there was something ahead, it wouldn’t be too late to say something at that time.
