Seeing Yang Ming frown, Zheng Shaopeng was startled. “Everything I said is true… I don’t dare to lie now…”

“Continue. What does that person look like?” Yang Ming continued to ask.

“That… the boss’ face has makeup. He wears a pair of big sunglasses. I can’t see what he looks like…” Zheng Shaopeng said carefully.

“Makeup?” Yang Ming’s brow furrowed deeper. Zheng Shaopeng was scared and almost cried out.

“Big brother, what I said is the truth. I don’t dare to lie to you…” Zheng Shaopeng added quickly.

Yang Ming waved his hand and gestured to Zheng Shaopeng to keep calm. He did not doubt Zheng Shaopeng’s words again because, under Fang Tian’s acupuncture method, no one could lie. Yang Ming frowned because he thought of a person!

At that time, he remembered that Liu Minggui also said something similar. The boss of Liu Minggui seemed to be the same!

Is it true that these two people are the same person? Yang Ming naturally thought of this. But if this were the case, then things would become even more complicated!

Judging from Zheng Shaopeng’s matters, no matter from which angle it’s analyzed, or even if the boss behind the scenes is Zheng Shaopeng, their target is Wang Xiaoyan! Not me! Although I am involved in it, my alternate identity is involved in this. It has nothing to do with my “Yang Ming!”

Moreover, Liu Minggui’s affairs were entirely directed at me. Even Liu Minggui himself personally admitted that I, Yang Ming, was the target of his boss! Zhang Bing was just a victim of an accident.

So, it seemed that behind these two things, if it was the same boss, wasn’t it a bit weird? How could two things that were completely irrelevant be linked together?

If they were all targeting Yang Ming, then it was strange. His relationship with Wang Xiaoyan was just a matter of acquaintances. Even if the person behind the scenes killed Wang Xiaoyan, it had no effect on himself. On the contrary, if they were all targeting Wang Xiaoyan, then killing him would have no impact on Wang Xiaoyan.

Thinking of this, Yang Ming could not help but shake his head, it seemed that he thought too much. Even if both bosses wore makeup and sunglasses, they might not be the same person. Generally, people who hid behind the scenes usually did not want others to know what they look like and were all dressed up.

Yang Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps my thoughts are too complicated. He waved his hand and continued to say to Zheng Shaopeng, “So, you talk. What is the purpose of you coming to Huawei Casino?”

“I didn’t really have a purpose to come to the Huawei Casino. The boss taught me gambling so that I have the skill to make a living. The boss didn’t want me to do anything with it…” Zheng Shaopeng explained, ” When the boss thought that I was pitiful, he taught me the skill. He didn’t even ask for anything in return. I took the initiative to ask him what he wanted in return. Then the boss said that there may be things where needed me in the future, but there may be not. He hoped that I wouldn’t refuse when the time came.

“At that time, I agreed to it without thinking about it. In fact, I thought that if there were no boss, there wouldn’t be me today. ”

“So, this matter with Wang Xiaoyan was your idea, or was it your boss’ idea?” Yang Ming noticed that Zheng Shaopeng didn’t seem to be lying, so Yang Ming believed his words for the time being. “Do you know who Wang Xiaoyan is?”

“I know… that was the boss’ idea …” Since he had already said a part of it, Zheng Shaopeng didn’t mind telling it all. “If not, I wouldn’t know anything about Wang Xiaoyan. Why would I harm her?”

Yang Ming nodded and probably guessed that things would be like this. If Zheng Shaopeng wanted to harm Wang Xiaoyan, it would be impossible to use himself as bait. This only showed that Zheng Shaopeng was a pawn.

“Well, then tell me. What did your boss teach you?” At this point, Yang Ming did not expect to learn anything from Zheng Shaopeng’s mouth. If he was just a chess piece, then he basically knew nothing.

Zheng Shaopeng told Yang Ming what exactly the boss taught him. It was nothing more than a training method for hand speed. Yang Ming nodded after listening.

What Yang Ming was thinking about was how to deal with Zheng Shaopeng. To kill him or to keep him? Or continue to let him stay at the casino?

Yang Ming was not worried that Zheng Shaopeng would tell that Yang Ming looked for him after he left. Zheng Shaopeng was not stupid. He also knew that speaking of this kind of thing was of no benefit to him.

However, Yang Ming was now thinking if killing Zheng Shaopeng would anger the boss behind the scenes. If that behind the scenes boss were targeting Wang Xiaoyan, the behind the scenes boss would definitely think it was Wang Xiaoyan or her group of people who did it if Zheng Shaopeng was killed. Then wouldn’t the boss be more determined to find revenge from Wang Xiaoyan?

Now, Yang Ming also wanted to investigate the Black Widow organization through Wang Xiaoyan. He did not allow anyone to harm Wang Xiaoyan, so he came around to this idea. Yang Ming decided to keep Zheng Shaopeng alive first.

However, it was okay to keep him alive, but it was not Yang Ming’s style not to do anything else.

“Okay, now, I will give you two options.” Yang Ming looked at Zheng Shaopeng and said, “First, you die right away. Second, you can barely live. Which one do you choose?”

Zheng Shaopeng was stunned. He didn’t expect Yang Ming to give him a chance to live. Zheng Shaopeng initially thought that Yang Ming would kill him after asking what he wanted to know. Now Zheng Shaopeng did not expect to be alive at all. He just hoped that Yang Ming would forthrightly kill him and not torture him with extreme means.

“I am… I certainly don’t want to die…” Nonsense. It was better to live like a coward than to die. No one was willing to die for no reason. Zheng Shaopeng was not a fool. Of course, he chose the second option.

“Okay, then. You can live, but you have to pay a small price…” Yang Ming looked at Zheng Shaopeng and said.

“Okay… okay…” Zheng Shaopeng heard the meaning behind Yang Ming’s words. Yang Ming seemed to want him to pay for something. Was it a hand or a foot? If his hand were cut off, then his position as the casino consultant would be lost! You must know that he relied on his hands to make a living!

However, it didn’t matter. The money earned within these years was enough for Zheng Shaopeng to be safe and stable for half a lifetime. Even if he didn’t work, it didn’t matter.

“Do you know what infernal affairs are?” Yang Ming asked. “You now have to pretend that I didn’t look for you. If your boss looks for you, let me know in time… How about that? Any problems?”

“No problem…” Zheng Shaopeng said dejectedly, although he was betraying the boss, at the moment, did he still have a choice? Besides, he had betrayed the boss once before. There was no difference in doing it again in the future. Now this situation was ten times better than what he had imagined. He originally thought that Yang Ming would remove some of his parts!

“However, to be on the safe side, you have to endure some grievance!” Yang Ming reached out and took out a small box from his chest pocket, opened the lid, and took out a small pill from it. He said to Zheng Shaopeng, “Open your mouth; eat it yourself.”

Zheng Shaopeng didn’t know what Yang Ming gave him to eat, but at the moment, even if it was poison, he could only force himself to eat it. At least poisoned to death was better than being tortured to death.

Besides, Yang Ming had already said that he would not take his life. Then it was obviously impossible to be a lethal drug. At best, it was a slow poison, and he would not die after a while if it were eaten.

So, as Zheng Shaopeng thought of this, he quickly took the pill, put it in his mouth and swallowed it down. In fear that Yang Ming did not believe him, he intentionally opened his mouth for Yang Ming to see and then asked, “What did I eat?”

“Voodoo,” Yang Ming said faintly.

“What? Drum[1]?” Zheng Shaopeng did not hear clearly.

“Voodoo, have you heard of it?” Yang Ming explained, “Voodoo insect. Do you know what it is?”

“Voodoo?!” This time Zheng Shaopeng heard it, and suddenly he was shocked. He saw similar things in movies and novels, but this was the first time he saw it in reality!

Could it be… When Yang Ming touched me, it was suddenly so painful and uncomfortable. Is that also a kind of voodoo? En, very likely… Zheng Shaopeng didn’t know about acupoints and subconsciously thought that Yang Ming gave him voodoo then.

“Yes, it is voodoo. You have to take an antidote every once in a while. I will use express mail to send the antidote regularly to you. Of course, if you are not obedient, the antidote will be gone. When the voodoo shows its effect, you will die faster than just now!” Yang Ming scared him. In fact, Yang Ming didn’t know what it would be like when the voodoo showed its effect. He didn’t even know if this voodoo had any effect. When Yang Ming was bored a while ago, he made it according to the book of introduction to voodoo that Lan Ling gave to him. He did not know if it was successful, so he had Zheng Shaopeng experiment on his products.

“Okay, okay, I will be a good internal!” Zheng Shaopeng was franker after he heard it, and he quickly assured Yang Ming.

“This is the antidote for three months. You must take it every month.” Yang Ming gave the remaining pills to Zheng Shaopeng.

Zheng Shaopeng carefully kept it. This was his life-saving thing. If he lost it, he would really die fast.

“Regarding today’s business, don’t mention it to anyone,” said Yang Ming. “If not, you’ll know the consequences.”

“Brother, don’t worry…” Whatever Yang Ming said now, Zheng Shaopeng would listen to it. He could never be as he wished anymore.

“If President Zhang is looking for you, do you know what to say?” asked Yang Ming.

“I say… I won’t say anything.” Zheng Shaopeng said.

“This is the best, but he won’t ask you.” Yang Ming would naturally be on the side of Zhang Guozong.
