At this moment, Yang Ming didnât rush to the side of the reservoir. Instead, he quietly looked at any movement there. Anyway, there was still more than forty minutes to go. A kilometer can be covered pretty quickly by Yang Ming at a fast pace.
The environment near the reservoir was very simple. Other than an endless pool of water, the edge was all forest. There werenât any special building structures. There were several small shops selling tourist goods that had already closed at this hour.
This kind of environment was very convenient for Yang Ming to explore. Yang Ming looked around at all areas and found nothing special. The stone monument on the edge of the reservoir was empty. Either the other party had not come yet, or he was already here hidden someplace.
However, it wonât be easy to escape Yang Mingâs x-ray vision. Yang Ming looked into the interior of all the small shops, behind the big trees, and even on the tops of the trees. No one was there. Yang Ming was sure of it.
Time was ticking away. It had finally reached 11:40 p.m.
Only then did Yang Ming sigh and walk toward the stone monument at the reservoir. Thinking about what the mysterious man said before, Yang Mingâs heart was relieved. He wouldnât do anything to me, so there was no need to be too careful.
Yang Ming came to the stone monument and looked around, but no one else was there. Could I have been fooled by someone?
Yang Ming looked at the time, 11:58 p.m. The other party didnât appear yet. Yang Ming found a clean place on the steps of the stone monument, sat down and waited quietly for the other party to appear.
Anyway, there was nothing to do. Yang Ming casually looked at the introduction of the West Star Mountain Reservoir on the stone monument.
West Star Mountain Reservoir was built inâŚ, created by the investment of Yunnanâs businessman, Lan HaiâŚ
Lan Hai? Yang Ming was shocked. If he saw this name in other places, Yang Ming might not be too surprised. Although there were not many with the surname Lan, there were so many people in the country. It wasnât unusual to b.u.mp into a few of them.
However, at this moment, Yang Ming came for Lan Ling. Looking at another surname âLan,â it was impossible not to have any doubt! Moreover, it was written very clearly on this stone monument, Yunnan businessmanâŚ
Not many merchants in Yunnan would have invested in the North, especially with this particular surnameâŚ
Just as Yang Ming got lost in his thoughts, suddenly, a big hand was placed on his shoulder. âWhat were you looking at?â
âWho is it?â Yang Ming turned around and saw a masked face! On the mask was a painted face. It wasnât scary, so Yang Ming judged that the person just wanted to conceal her ident.i.ty.
However, this wasnât a problem for Yang Ming at all. Yang Ming smiled secretly. He used his x-ray vision to look behind the mask directly. It was an old womanâs face, a very strange face! Yang Ming confirmed that he had not seen her anywhere else.
Yang Ming couldnât say that his memory was particularly good, but at the very least, he wouldnât be so forgetful to the extent that he couldnât remember people he had met before. So, Yang Ming was quite sure that the person behind this mask was a stranger.
Since you are a stranger, why would you still cover your face? Could it be that she was afraid that I would recognize her later? It seems that only this was the only possibility left.
âIt was you?â Although Yang Ming knew that the woman in front of him had unfathomable skills, he wasnât afraid.
âVery good. You really came.â The person looked at Yang Ming and said plainly, âWhat were you looking at?â
âNothing, whereâs Lan Ling?â Yang Ming asked.
âWerenât you reading something on this stone tablet?â The person didnât answer Yang Mingâs question, but continued to say, âDid you see a name called Lan Hai?â
âWhy?â Yang Ming couldnât help but frown. Could it be that there was really a relations.h.i.+p between this name and Lan Ling?
âThis person was Lan Lingâs grandfather.â The person said.
âWhat? Lan Lingâs grandfather?â Yang Mingâs eyes widened. It canât be. Really?
âWell, I have told you what you needed to know.â The person interrupted Yang Mingâs words as well as his intention to continue to ask questions. âYou die; Lan Ling lives. Or Lan Ling dies; you live. Choose one.â
âWhat did you say?â Yang Ming was confused by what he heard. Why did this person come up and just started speaking about dying or not dying?
âI have no patience. One sentence, either you die or Lan Ling dies.â The person explained, âYes, I heard that you have some kind of voodoo. You can rest a.s.sured. Once Lan Ling is dead, that vicious voodoo will be automatically undone.â
âHow did you know about the voodoo? And how do I know whether what you said was true or not?â Yang Ming frowned and continued to ask.
âIâm also from Miaojiang. Of course, I know.â The other party said very calmly, âThis is a great opportunity to get rid of the confining voodoo in your heart. Donât miss it!â
âYouâre the one whoâs sick.â Yang Ming shouted without fear glaring at the other person. âIf I want to let Lan Ling die, why would I still come here to meet you? I might as well not appear!â
âThatâs because you didnât know about the voodoo!â added the other person.
âF*ck! I know you are good!â Yang Ming said disdainfully, âYou let me see Lan Ling in your hands and let her go in front of me. Also, vow to stop creating any trouble for her in the future. Then, Iâll be okay with you doing anything!â
Yang Ming was now perplexed in his heart. Is this person crazy? She came to look for me to say so many inexplicable words! However, Yang Ming was very certain of this personâs skill. Therefore, Yang Ming intended that if Lan Ling was really in this personâs hands, then he would first get Lan Ling out of danger and then continue to deal with her. At the very least, he would stake his life to go through this.
Therefore, Yang Ming made a decision very quickly. Yang Ming couldnât let Lan Ling die, so it didnât require any hesitation. Therefore, Yang Ming said it very quickly.
â Oh , really? You said it so quickly. Would you be lying to me?â Yang Mingâs speedy decision instead made the other party felt somewhat suspicious.
âF*ck! Do I need to lie to you?â Yang Ming didnât know whether to laugh or cry. âYou have also stated it yourself. You can catch me easily. What good is it for me to lie to you? But youâve got to let me see Lan Ling first!â
âThatâs right. But no, you canât see Lan Ling. You must die first, and then I will definitely let Lan Ling go.â The other party said unreasonably.
âYou think Iâm an idiot?â Yang Ming snorted and said, âYou want me to die without seeing her? Iâm not crazy!â
âThen what do you want?â The other party seemed to nod slightly and continued to ask.
âNothing much. You first let me see that Lan Ling is fine, and then let her go.â Yang Ming said, âThen you make another blood oath that you wonât go to Lan Ling to cause any trouble later, otherwise, Iâll be f*cking your daughter⌠No, your daughterâs age definitely wonât be young now, then granddaughter! You swear that if you violate the oath, your granddaughter will be f*cked by me! I wonât let her go even if Iâm a ghost!â
âCough⌠coughâŚâ The other party heard Yang Mingâs words and suddenly coughed abruptly to the point where tears almost came out. âThat was so funny. Yang Ming, you really dare to say anythingâŚâ
âWhat do you mean?â Yang Ming was somewhat inexplicable. âCould you have gotten asthma? I canât be so lucky. The two of us havenât had our match yet, and then youâre dying off from asthma first! Rest a.s.sured. I wonât send you to the hospital. You may have a good cough!â
âCough⌠cough⌠you little brat. You p.i.s.s me offâŚâ The other party continued to cough with anger.
âRight, wait. Before you die of asthma, can you tell me where Lan Ling is?â Yang Ming suddenly asked.
âCough⌠coughâŚâ The other party continued to cough and ignored Yang Mingâs question.
Yang Ming couldnât do much. He could only continue to sit next to the stone monument and depressingly wait for the person to cough. Then, talk to her again. As for what happened, all I said was that I wanted to f*ck her granddaughter. Can she actually be that happy?
Sheâs crazy I guess? Was it so funny? Your granddaughter is going to be f*cked by me, and yet youâre so happy? Yang Ming directly grouped her to be an abnormal human.
She is still laughing and not yet done? When Yang Ming looked at the phone, the old woman had been coughing for ten minutes and continued to laughâŚ
After a long time, the other party ended the laughter and stopped coughing. âI havenât had such a good laugh in a long time!â
âWas it really that funny?â Yang Ming said helplessly with a bitter face.
âItâs not funny if others said it, but itâs very funny if you say it from your mouth.â The other party said with a smile, one word at a time.
âWhy?â Yang Ming scratched his head and asked, puzzled.
âI believe you felt that you took advantage of me with what you said just now, right?â said the other party.
âWasnât it? Donât tell me you donât have a granddaughter!â Yang Ming asked.
âI have a granddaughter, but I donât think you have been taking many advantages of me.â The other said word by word.
