Chapter 642: Master Qi

Translator: VinceStar  Editor: PrisMiko

Chen Mengyan was emotionally impulsive and often had regrets after quarreling with Yang Ming. This was also the case. After Chen Mengyan returned home, she thought about it and felt that she had gone overboard…

Zhao Ying is my former teacher. How can I be so sarcastic to her? What if she really had nothing to do with Yang Ming? Moreover, Chen Mengyan also thought that there should be no possibility between Yang Ming and Zhao Ying. Did I really misunderstand him?

Chen Mengyan, who calmed down, decided to give Yang Ming an opportunity to explain. If he called and looked for her, she would give him an opportunity to explain.

However, unfortunately, after waiting for one night, there was no call from Yang Ming. The early next morning, Chen Mengyan couldn’t help but call Yang Ming’s home.

Give Yang Ming a call? Chen Mengyan still couldn’t drop her ego. Why do I have to take the initiative to call you when you made me angry? But when she called Yang Ming’s home, she took the excuse to wish Yang Ming’s parents a Happy Chinese New Year!

Moreover, every time she called, Mother Yang took the initiative to find Yang Ming to talk.

Thinking of this, Chen Mengyan called Yang Ming’s home directly. The person answering the phone was Mother Yang. Chen Mengyan quickly said, “Aunty, this is Chen Mengyan…”

” Oh , it’s Mengyan,” said Mother Yang enthusiastically. “What’s the matter? Is there something wrong?”

“Nothing. I just called to bless you and uncle to have a good year.” Chen Mengyan certainly couldn’t directly say that she was looking for Yang Ming.

” Hehe , thank you. This child, you really have a heart… Big Ming just left. You’re afraid that we, two old people, would be lonely so you called and greeted…” Mother Yang smiled and said, “I’m glad!”

“What? Yang Ming just left? Where did he go?” Chen Mengyan was baffled.

“Didn’t Big Ming go abroad for business? Why? Didn’t you know?” Mother Yang was baffled as well. Logically, if Yang Ming left, there was no way Chen Mengyan wouldn’t know about it.

“Going abroad… for business…” Chen Mengyan’s face was stiff and she answered perfunctorily, “I… I know… I thought he hadn’t left yet…”

” Oh , he left last night!” Mother Yang said, “Mengyan if it’s okay, come over and play when you are free. Big Ming is gone. We, the old couple, are bored…”

“Okay…” Chen Mengyan hurriedly hung up after a quick response.

Went abroad? Yang Ming actually went abroad? Chen Mengyan sat on the bed while she was in shock… How could this be? Yang Ming, you’re really capable. You don’t even tell me when you go abroad?

However, after getting mad, Chen Mengyan suddenly became afraid! The last time was because I misunderstood Yang Ming, causing the two of us to quarrel. As a result, Yang Ming brought back Lan Ling when he returned… This time, again, will Yang Ming bring back another one?

God, what is this? How come there is such a coincidence? Chen Mengyan didn’t care much as she picked up the phone and called Yang Ming’s cell phone, but the other end of the phone replied with a cold female voice, “Sorry, the phone that you have dialed is either switched off or not in the service area. Please dial again later…”

Yang Ming went abroad. He naturally didn’t bring his phone. Europe and the United States were on the 1900 MHz GSM network while the domestic 900/1800 MHz was different. Yang Ming had not activated the world roaming function on his cell phone card. Besides, he was going to assassinate people this time around. How could Yang Ming use his cell phone card?

After arriving in the local area, he simply bought a temporary prepaid card and cell phone. This was why Sun Jie had never been able to contact Yang Ming.

Chen Mengyan was anxious when she couldn’t contact Yang Ming. What should I do? If Yang Ming brings back another woman, then I really want to die!

Just when Chen Mengyan was at a loss, Zhao Ying called to invite Chen Mengyan to have tea. Chen Mengyan also couldn’t be angry with Zhao Ying at the moment. It would better to have another person to discuss it with rather than worrying about it alone. Not to mention that she had probably misunderstood Zhao Ying.

After Chen Mengyan agreed to it, she rushed to the coffee shop Zhao Ying had mentioned.

This coffee shop wasn’t far from the entertainment street of the temple fair. On the other hand, Zhao Ying had already gone to look for the organizer of the rock climbing event this morning. She explained yesterday’s situation to the boss, hoping that the boss would clarify the story. The boss didn’t mind. Besides, yesterday he really saw that someone had pulled down Yang Ming. Yang Ming’s kiss was an accident, so he nodded and agreed.

When Chen Mengyan arrived, Zhao Ying was already waiting there. When Zhao Ying noticed Chen Mengyan approach, Zhao Ying nodded to her with a smile and reached out to welcome her. “Here, Mengyan.”

Seeing Zhao Ying was being enthusiastic to her as usual, Chen Mengyan suddenly blushed in embarrassment. At this moment, she was almost convinced that yesterday’s incident was a misunderstanding. Otherwise, why would Zhao Ying ask her out so nicely?

Moreover, her father also said to her before, what was seen weren’t necessarily the facts. But, she was hot-headed yesterday and didn’t think much of them. Also, after returning home, she calmed down before finally thinking it through.

“Sister Zhao Ying… I…” Chen Mengyan was sitting there mumbling as if she was sitting on pins and needles. She didn’t know what to say.

“Mengyan, what’s wrong with you?” Zhao Ying looked at Chen Mengyan who was bewildered and asked curiously.

“No… Yesterday, I… actually…” Chen Mengyan was anxious to explain, but the more she talked, the harder it was to understand.

“Fine. Mengyan, let me speak.” Zhao Ying smiled and said softly, “Yesterday’s incidents… In fact, it was like this… You know that my hometown is in the south. I hadn’t been to Song Jiang’s temple fair before. I came back earlier this year because I wanted to visit the temple fair. I didn’t know anyone here. Yang Ming picked me up at the airport coincidentally, so we went to the temple fair together… Then…”

Therefore, Zhao Ying explained to Chen Mengyan about the rock climbing incident.

” Ah ! It turned out to be like this…” Chen Mengyan listened to Zhao Ying’s explanation. Although she felt it was incredible, she also understood that yesterday’s happenings were actually a misunderstanding.

“Yes, let’s go to the rock climbing section together. Then, you ask the boss there. He knows the whole situation.” Zhao Ying suggested.

“That’s not necessary… Sister Ying, I’m sorry about yesterday…” Chen Mengyan felt that there was no need to ask the boss anymore. Since Zhao Ying dared to allow her to ask, naturally, Zhao Ying was telling the truth.

“There is no need to apologize!” Zhao Ying patted Chen Mengyan’s forehead with love. “You and Yang Ming are both my students. Now, both of you are my brother and sister. How can I keep it in mind if both of you are quarreling in front of me?”

” Oh … Sister Ying, you’re so nice to me…” Chen Mengyan also believed that yesterday’s happenings were misunderstandings. She also knew about the relationship between Yang Ming and Zhao Ying. Although they were teacher and student, they were more like siblings. So when Zhao Ying returned to Song Jiang, it was normal that Yang Ming went to pick her up and accompany her to the temple fair.

Chen Mengyan was just too subjective yesterday and thought that there was something between Zhao Ying and Yang Ming. In fact, it wasn’t Chen Mengyan’s fault. When Yang Ming pretended to be Zhao Ying’s boyfriend beforehand, Chen Mengyan found it slightly uncomfortable. Although she didn’t say anything, she was afraid that Yang Ming would accidentally make it real.

When she saw Yang Ming and Zhao Ying kiss together, she subconsciously remembered that Yang Ming pretended to be Zhao Ying’s boyfriend. She couldn’t help but overthink. Is Yang Ming playing dumb with me? He deliberately said that he is impersonating, but in fact, did their relationship already have a tacit understanding?

In this way, it was impossible for Chen Mengyan not to get mad and cause the angry scene yesterday.

“Great! Just reconcile with Yang Ming later!” Zhao Ying shook her head, “You two are really a quarrelsome but loving couple!”

“Later… I’m afraid it won’t work. Yang Ming went abroad…” Chen Mengyan shook her head with a smile.

“What? Yang Ming went abroad?” Zhao Ying’s eyes widened in surprise. “Why did he go abroad? Didn’t we just see him yesterday?”

Looking at Zhao Ying’s surprised expression, it didn’t seem to be fake. Chen Mengyan finally was assured in her heart. It seemed that there was really nothing between Yang Ming and Zhao Ying, otherwise, it was impossible for Zhao Ying to not know that Yang Ming had gone abroad.

“He left last night… You didn’t know?” Chen Mengyan shook her head.

“Last night? After you were angry with him yesterday, we separated. I also didn’t know he would go abroad!” said Zhao Ying in shock.

“I just learned about it…” Chen Mengyan sighed. “I called Yang Ming’s home in the morning. Aunty said that Yang Ming went abroad yesterday…”

“This Yang Ming, why didn’t he tell you when he went abroad!?” Zhao Ying said with some anger, “He didn’t even tell his sister… This kid, he needs to be punished! Wait until he comes back… I will lecture him!”

Zhao Ying was just simply saying it. When they were in high school, she didn’t win in any quarrels with Yang Ming, let alone right now.

“I don’t blame him… It was me losing my temper at him…” Chen Mengyan was also very helpless. “Sister Ying… I’m scared…”

“What are you afraid of?” Zhao Ying was baffled.

“Look. Yang Ming was angry with me last time and went to Yunnan. In the end, he brought back a girl named Lan Ling… Do you think when he goes abroad this time, he will bring back another one?” Chen Mengyan had nothing to hide from Zhao Ying. Chen Mengyan had spoken to Zhao Ying about Lan Ling’s story already.

“This… no way…” Zhao Ying was dumbfounded. “Yang Ming isn’t as bad as you say!”

Zhao Ying thought to herself. If Yang Ming loves everyone he sees, then the matter between me and Yang Ming wouldn’t be dragged for so long. She knew about Lan Ling’s story, but she was surprised the story was him merely taking responsibility after the incident. It was purely helpless.

Then she said, “That time was because Zhang Bing was advocating it! And, at that time, you and Yang Ming didn’t really have a relationship yet. He was free to love anyone. If you think about it, Lan Ling is the genuine girlfriend while you are the latecomer…”

Zhao Ying intentionally or unintentionally instilled this thought into Chen Mengyan. It also paved the path for herself.

“That is also true…” Chen Mengyan sighed with relief. “This time… if he finds another one… then… then I will break up with him!”

” Hehe , I’m afraid that you wouldn’t be able to let go!” Zhao Ying shook her head with a smile.

“Sister Ying… even you make fun of me too!” Chen Mengyan was distressed when Zhao Ying voiced out Chen Mengyan’s thoughts in her heart. Chen Mengyan was really reluctant, especially after the day Yang Ming took her to rock climbing. Chen Mengyan became more and more attached to Yang Ming.

However, Chen Mengyan was also a lot more at ease at the moment. Yes, I just lost my temper at Yang Ming yesterday. I didn’t say that I wanted to break up. Our situation can only be regarded to be in the state of a cold war. Yang Ming shouldn’t have any bad thoughts, right?

Besides, Yang Ming was heading to a foreign country. Those foreign women looked tall and blonde. Yang Ming shouldn’t like them… Chen Mengyan comforted herself…

……

Back in his room, Yang Ming made a phone call to Sun Jie with a bitter face.

“Yang Ming!” As soon as the phone call was connected, Sun Jie’s angry rebuke came from the phone. “You finally appeared!”

“Sweat… What do you mean by I finally appeared? I have been here…” Yang Ming wasn’t a person who would go back on his words, but this time, he had really forgotten about it! He was squandered by Chen Mengyan’s incident, and then he directly went with Fang Tian to perform the mission. Sun Jie’s matter was totally forgotten!

“Yang Ming, where have you been for so many days? Your phone wasn’t even turned on!” Sun Jie was obviously angry. “I asked where you went, but your parents didn’t even tell me! Were you deliberately avoiding me?”

Yang Ming broke into a sweat. I went abroad for business, but because Sun Jie isn’t familiar with my parents, my parents might not tell her the details. However, Sun Jie was mistaken that I didn’t want to tell her and hid from her. He quickly explained, “Sun Jie, I went out of the country over these few days for business.”

If I say that I went to Europe, Sun Jie will definitely ask questions. It is better to just say I went out of the country.

“Then, why didn’t you switch on your phone?” Sun Jie obviously didn’t want to let Yang Ming go so easily.

“My cell phone didn’t have the roaming function activated so I left it at home.” Yang Ming said, “I’m sorry… Sun Jie can we still make it for the matter you mentioned?”

“What can you do if you don’t make it? I have been staring at the moon and the stars waiting for you!” Sun Jie said sarcastically, “My dad already knows about you. How would I find someone else to replace you in such a short time?”

“Then should I drop by tomorrow?” asked Yang Ming carefully. It was indeed my fault. I had already promised Sun Jie and yet I disappeared and ditched her.

” Hmph ! Come quickly!” Sun Jie said with a sigh of relief, “But I’ll tell you this. My dad has a very bad impression of you! He said that you’re more bad*ss than him. He had to wait for you for so long. ”

“I’m sorry…” Yang Ming quickly apologized. “Luckily, this isn’t real but an act. If I was really your boyfriend, we are done for this time…”

“You know it, too!” Sun Jie said, “But you’d better not expose it… My dad is hot-tempered. If he finds that you’re acting… hmph , you are at your own risk.”

“Won’t the consequences be that I come in alive and leave with a dead body?” Yang Ming smiled.

“There is this possibility!” Sun Jie said, “You can try!”

“Then, it’s better not to try. I’ll try my best to perform…” Yang Ming retracted the joking tone. “Should I drop by tomorrow?”

“En, I will drive back and pick you up tomorrow,” said Sun Jie.

“Don’t make it hard for yourself. I will find a car myself.” Yang Ming said, “It’s very troublesome to come over from there.”

“That is fine. Tomorrow, call me once you reach Donghai City. I will go and meet you.” Sun Jie also thought this was better. It is also very time consuming to go to Song Jiang and return to Donghai.

Besides, when the boyfriend came to her home, if she personally went to Song Jiang to pick him up, it also would seem that she didn’t have status. It wouldn’t be good for her father to see it.

After the phone call with Sun Jie, Yang Ming could only smile bitterly. The others had a good rest at home and got to play around during Chinese New Year. As for myself? I was awfully busy every day.

I just got back from training and yet I have to depart for Donghai. Yang Ming called Hou Zhenhan to borrow a car from him.

“Hello, Big Hou? This is Yang Ming!” said Yang Ming.

“Brother Yang, finally you called. I have something to ask you!” Hou Zhenhan heard Yang Ming’s voice and said quickly.

” Oh ? I have been away for a few days. What kind of matter are you are unable to handle?” Yang Ming didn’t treat it seriously.

“Brother Yang, I don’t how Guo Jinbiao got the connection with Master Qi. Under the auspices of Master Qi, he wants to negotiate with us,” said Hou Zhenhan.

“Who is Master Qi?” Yang Ming had never heard of the name. Who knows what character he is?

“Master Qi… How do I put it? Originally, he was the first gang leader in our province. He was famous in the 1970s, a famous boss. After the crime-fighting executed by the government in 1983, he retired. In the underworld, he is still respected by many people. He is known as Master Qi. Even Sun Hongjun has to respect him.” Hou Zhenhan explained, “Guo Jinbiao took the excuse that we injured his son and found Master Qi. We didn’t know whether Master Qi is old or confused, but he is obviously sided with Guo Jinbiao. The conditions for the negotiations are very demanding. It is targeted at us.”

” Oh ? Is this Master Qi still very powerful now?” Yang Ming frowned.

“In terms of strength, not really. But for those who mingle around, we look up to seniority. He is the senior, so everyone gives him some respect. Moreover, when there are disputes in the underworld, everyone likes to let him be the judge. After all, he is highly respected.” Hou Zhenhan said.

“Really? What did they say?” asked Yang Ming.

“I have negotiated once before, but I don’t want to agree to their conditions.” Hou Zhenhan said, “Bao Sanli also thinks that they are demanding. But because of Master Qi, we couldn’t go against it on the spot.”

“What are the conditions?” asked Yang Ming.

“This… It was not clear on the phone. In just a moment, Master Qi and Guo Jinbiao will come over for the second negotiation. Would you, Brother Yang, like to come over and take a look?” Hou Zhenhan still hoped to have Yang Ming in charge.

“Fine, then come over and pick me up.” Yang Ming thought to himself. Isn’t this phone call seeking trouble for me? Yang Ming thought that even if he didn’t appear, based on Hou Zhenhan’s capability, the matter would be resolved eventually.

Now, since I know about it, there is no reason to ignore it. How did all these matters come together? Can’t I get some rest already?

He put on the coat he took off just now and walked out of the room.

“Big Ming, why did you put on your coat again?” Yang Dahai was watching TV. When he noticed Yang Ming come out, he asked, baffled.

“Dad, there are some things I need to help my friends. I have to go over immediately,” explained Yang Ming.

“This child. You just came back home and you’re going out again… Can’t you stay a little longer?” Yang Dahai said helplessly.

“Old Yang, now the child is busy with company affairs. It’s serious business. Stop worrying for him!” Mother Yang was very understanding of Yang Ming.

” Oh , that’s right.” Yang Dahai nodded. “Then you pay attention to your safety. Come back early!”

“I know. Dad, Mom, I’m leaving.” Yang Ming glanced at the text message. Hou Zhenhan had already arrived downstairs.
