Chapter 241: Yang Mingâs Gift
âThis is the car registration for this license plate. The car went through the complete set of procedures [1]. There shouldnât be any problem.â Sun Jie didnât entertain Yang Ming much and handed a blue book to him.
Yang Ming nodded. Even though he didnât say much on the surface, but there was some suspicion in his heart. What did Sun Jieâs family do? Most wealthy families wouldnât have some fake license plates. Even if they were stopped by traffic police, they should have the connections to get away from it! Now it seemed like Sun Jieâs cars all have other license plates. The plates also seemed to be frequently changed.
Yang Ming took a look at Sun Jie, who was ordering the man with the big beard to put away the Donghai license. Sun Jie seemed to have understood Yang Mingâs thoughts. She said faintly, âThe Donghai license plate is fake too. This car was smuggled over here. The windows and doors were all modified to be bulletproof.â
Although Yang Ming knew that his relations.h.i.+p with Sun Jie was intimate, he hadnât yet reached the point where there were no secrets between the two of them. There were no benefits to knowing the answers to certain questions. Sun Jie would have told him all that he needed to know.
âThank you.â Yang Ming smiled at Sun Jie and said, âAfter I finished using the car, I will call you. How do they go back?â Yang Ming was referring to the three men including the big bearded man.
âVia taxi!â Sun Jie lost her patience with Yang Ming. âI didnât think you were that mentally r.e.t.a.r.ded.â
Yang Ming smiled bitterly. He didnât expect that he would be scolded as an idiot when he showed his concern.
After driving Zhang Bingâs car for a while, Yang Ming could be regarded as an experienced driver already. He started the car easily and drove slowly to the hospital where Hou Zhenhan was at.
âHou Zhenhan?â Yang Ming called Hou Zhenhanâs phone.
âBrother Yang. Yes, itâs me. Are there any instructions?â Hou Zhenhan picked up the phone call.
âWell, I have a task for you this evening. Iâm in the parking lot below the hospital. Finish up quickly and get down here as soon as possible.â Yang Ming instructed.
âNo problem. I was accompanying my mother for a meal. I will come down in ten minutes!â Hou Zhenhan said.
âAlright, I will wait. Blue Buick minivan with a Guangdong license plate.â Yang Ming said.
âGot it.â Hou Zhenhan replied.
The four people in the back of the car wouldnât wake up for a while. The big bearded man had knocked them out with some incapacitating agent. It was estimated that they would only wake up around midnight. Yang Ming looked at the cricket cap man with deep thoughts. Although these four people wonât have much chance of getting out after they were sent to Bao Sanli, Yang Ming was still concerned about him. After all, the cricket cap man had seen his appearance. Yang Ming was afraid that he would act as a leak after he woke up.
Yang Ming looked at the cricket cap man and took a deep breath. Although he knew that from the moment he got his abilities, his life trajectory would be completely different, he still struggled for a long time in his heart.
Sometimes life was like that. Sympathy for your enemy could be a cruelty to yourself. Yang Ming sighed. Whether these four men could get out alive from Bao Sanliâs hands would be uncertain. It was very likely that Bao Sanli would kill the four men in front of his underlings to boost morale.
Therefore, even if Yang Ming gave some leeway to the cricket cap man, it didnât mean that he would be able to get off. Thinking of this, Yang Ming slowly approached the cricket cap man. In the Buick, the second part.i.tion was completely enclosed, and the window was covered. Therefore, others couldnât see what went on inside. Yang Ming didnât have to worry about being seen.
Yang Ming raised his hand and slammed it down to an acupuncture point on the cricket cap manâs head. The cricket cap man snorted unconsciously, and the body twitched gently. He then resumed his normal breathing.
Yang Ming breath out a sigh of relief as he calmed his emotions. The cricket cap man was in a comatose state. Most probably, he would never wake up again. However, it also saved him from Bao Sanliâs torture.
After doing all this, Yang Ming took out his phone and gave Bao Sanli a call.
âBrother Yang! What made you call me?â The Bao Sanli now was still in his prideful state, and his tone reflected his joy.
âBrother Bao, one of my friends caught four of Yu Xiangdeâs underlings.â Yang Ming had already thought about the explanation, so he said calmly.
âYour friend? Who?â Bao Sanli was stunned, then he asked with some vigilance.
âHe is also a person who wants to get involved in the underworld of Song Jiang. Thereâs a possibility of you both cooperating together.â Yang Ming said.
âHe asked you to speak to me?â Bao Sanli said after muttering to himself, âBrother Yang, you know, the relations.h.i.+p between the two of us was about life and death in the detention center. If you want to share a piece of it, I would willingly do it without a second thought. But if it were others⌠I am afraid that it may not work based on the present situation in Song JiangâŚâ
Yang Ming had expected Bao Sanli to say this. After all, if Bao Sanli promised to work with someone he didnât know, something was horribly wrong! Especially right now where Bao Sanli was at an advantageous position and had not reached a desperate point. If Yang Ming was in his shoes, he would have done the same thing and not want to work with a stranger.
âNo, I donât know this person either, but I have some friends.h.i.+p with one of his confidants. I just revealed what I heard from him to you.â Yang Ming said with ease.
âOh? That was the case!â Bao Sanli didnât have any doubts. âRight, how did they capture Yu Xiangdeâs people?â
âActually, this is what happened. My uncle was kidnapped by Yu Xiangdeâs underlings. My friend happened to have some conflicts with Yu Xiangde before, then unexpectedly he saved my uncle along the way, which was also the reason why I know he captured Yu Xiangdeâs underlings. My friends.h.i.+p with that person wasnât particularly good. If my uncle wasnât involved, he wouldnât have told me these things.â Yang Ming mixed the truth and told the story.
âI see⌠Right, whatâs your uncleâs name?â Bao Sanli suddenly thought of it and asked immediately.
âYang Dashan.â Yang Ming pretended as if he didnât understand and asked, âWhatâs wrong? Was there a problem?â
âYang Dashan! Is he your uncle?â Bao Sanli asked, surprised.
âYeah, he is my uncle.â Yang Ming pretended to be confused.
âWhat a coincidence. Yes, is your uncle alright?â Yang Dashan was Bao Sanliâs source of wealth. So, Bao Sanli immediately turned his attention to Yang Dashan instead.
âYes, heâs fine. They didnât do anything to my uncle. There shouldnât be many problems.â Yang Ming said, âWhat a coincidence. Their people had a conflict with Yu Xiangde, and by fate, they saved my uncle along the way!â
Yang Ming deliberately said this to dispel Bao Sanliâs suspicion. Certainly, Bao Sanli didnât doubt him, âGood to hear that heâs fine!â
âOh yeah, Brother Bao. They wanted to send Yu Xiangdeâs underlings to you. Do you want them?â Yang Ming asked while smiling.
âSend to me? Why? Donât they want to use them to threaten Yu Xiangde?â Bao Sanli found it strange.
âThey donât have any relations.h.i.+p with Yu Xiangde, and the conflict between them and Yu Xiangdeâs underlings were also accidental. I donât know the exact situation either. How about I ask them to look for you? Because right now I am just a middleman.â Yang Ming said vaguely.
âIf itâs as such⌠Alright. You tell them to find me at the Nightless Club. Weâll speak again after we meet!â Bao Sanli thought about it for a moment. He felt that if these people werenât asking for anything in return, then he would be letting go of a free lunch. But he still had to be careful when it came to this kind of matter!
âOh yeah, I heard that one of the persons captured was named Brother Bear.â Yang Ming noticed that Bao Sanliâs tone didnât sound like he cared a lot about it. So, he emphasized his bargaining chip. Although Yang Ming didnât know what role this Brother Bear had beside Yu Xiangde, if Yu Xiangde could give such an important task to him, his position wouldnât be too low in the gang. Therefore, Yang Ming probed with this sentence.
âWhat! Even Big Bear was caught?â Bao Sanli was shocked and replied in joy, âBrother Yang, where are the people that you have mentioned? Can you call them to come over immediately? I donât even mind sending a car to pick them up!â
Even though Yang Ming didnât know what Brother Bear did, Bao Sanli knew! Brother Bearâs position with Yu Xiangde should be comparable to the position of Yu Lei and Qi Wenrui with me!
He was the right-hand man of the Yu Xiangde. If I were to capture Big Bear, then it would be beneficial regardless of whether it was in front of Yu Xiangde or my own underlings! Therefore, Bao Sanli had a lot of interest right after he heard the word âBrother Bear.â
Yang Ming secretly smiled when he knew that he had guessed it correctly, so he said, âI donât know where they are at the moment. How about this? I will call my friend to look for you immediately!â
âYes. I will depend on you then Brother Yang.â Bao Sanli said joyfully.
Even though there seemed to be a lot of questionable details in this incident, Bao Sanli was originally a boor. He didnât doubt Yang Ming much after the story was blended with Yang Dashanâs name. Moreover, he was elated that Big Bear was captured and couldnât think of anything else! He naturally didnât think about the details thoroughly!
