Chapter 1635: Questions
“Since you know, hurry up.” However, whether Lukowski was a wimp, it had nothing to do with Yang Ming. It was fine as long as Yang Ming could extract from him the news he wanted as soon as possible.
“No… I mean I know you dare to kill me…” Lukowski said bitterly, “But I really don’t know where the two little girls are…”
“…” Yang Ming was speechless for a while. This Lukowski was so straightforward that Yang Ming didn’t know whether to cry or to laugh, “Don’t you know? That guy called Brother Kao told me that they passed them to you! ”
“It is true that they were passed to me, but last night, I gave them to the people of the Blackhawk Gang!” Lukowski was on the verge of tears. “They sent someone to pick them up at the dock here. I really don’t know! ”
“They have been picked up by the people of the Blackhawk Gang?” Yang Ming was suddenly lost in thought. It seems that this Lukowski has no need to deceive me. Maybe Chen Mengyan is not in China anymore.
“That’s right. I just acted according to orders from higher up. Last night, after they were handed to me, they were immediately picked up by a ship belonging to the Blackhawk Gang.” Lukowski said carefully, “I have told you everything I know. Can you take me to the hospital for treatment? If my lower body is not treated in time, I am afraid that it will be disabled. ”
Yang Ming looked at Lukowski, and his expression changed slightly. This guy’s thinking is really different from normal people. At this stage, he still thinks that I will send him to the hospital for treatment? Isn’t he too optimistic?
“Tell me all the news you know about the Blackhawk Gang; the location of the Blackhawk Gang’s headquarters and its scope of influence. Don’t leave out anything,” Yang Ming asked self-servingly while ignoring Lukowski’s request.
“Can you take me to the hospital first? I will tell you these in detail at the hospital!” After knowing that Yang Ming was not a policeman, Lukowski completely gave up on the idea of opposing Yang Ming. Just like he had said, Yang Ming had killed several people, and it was no worse to kill one more. So the only way was to cooperate with Yang Ming.
“Do you think that you are qualified to bargain with me?” Yang Ming sneered and looked at Lukowski with an ambiguous expression, “You haven’t figured out the situation yet, have you? I’m not your underling. Why should I send you to the hospital? ”
“Okay! Then keep asking!” Lukowski didn’t want to offend this ruthless assassin, Yang Ming. Although the physical pain was a little bit unbearable for him, he was afraid that Yang Ming would kill him if he was not happy. Therefore, it was better to endure the pain first.
“Tell me everything about the Blackhawk Gang,” said Yang Ming.
“The Blackhawk Gang is a gang in Russia close to the China border. It mainly deals with drug trafficking. I used to be a middle-level leader of the gang, so I didn’t know much about the core secrets at that time. It was only later when I was stationed here to assist the young leader, Nicholas Shevich, that I gradually learned something about the gang.” Lukowski said carefully, ” However, what I know is just some surface things. After all, I have been here for many years. To what extent has the Blackhawk Gang developed there now? I’m not sure either. ”
“Say what you know. Don’t talk nonsense!” Yang Ming glared at Lukowski, and motioned him not to babble uselessly.
“Yes…” Lukowski was startled. He said quickly, “The headquarters of the Blackhawk Gang is located in Meitena Town. When I left, the gang was not large. It could only be considered middle-sized. There were more than a hundred fixed gang followers, and there were only five core members. Yet, there were many external members, but they were not fixed. The gang was just taking in little punks off the streets to put up a strong front. The real drug trafficking matters were not done by these punks. I don’t know if the scale has expanded now because I haven’t gone back for ten years. ”
Yang Ming nodded, “Where is the headquarters of your Blackhawk Gang?”
“On the dock of northern Meitena Town. It is a trading company called the North Coast International Trading Company. On the surface, it does some international import and export business, but in fact, it secretly buys and sells banned medicines and drugs.” Lukowski said, “However, our chief, Nicholas Shevich’s father, Victor Rajiv, has another status. He is Meitena Town’s councilor. He usually works in a government office on Klater Main Street.”
“The chief of the Blackhawk Gang is actually Meitena Town’s councilor?” Yang Ming shrugged. Although it was a little strange, it did not show anything. After all, it was not uncommon for the underworld godfathers to have a political identity.
“Yes, he used to be, but I don’t know if he is still a councilor now. After all, it is not my area of concern,” said Lukowski.
“Okay, talk about the person you contacted yesterday. Who took Chen Mengyan away?” Yang Ming had a rough idea of the Blackhawk Gang’s profile. But as Lukowski said, he had not returned for many years. It was not certain if the information he gave was still accurate.
“This I know. The one who contacted me is my old acquaintance. Over the years, he has been responsible for the goods coming from there,” Lukowski said. “I’m also not sure of this person’s real name. Everyone in our gang calls him Old Geese.”
“Old Geese?” Yang Ming repeated the name. Obviously, this Old Geese was a nickname. Although Yang Ming didn’t know much about Russian names, he also knew that they would not name anyone Old Geese.
“Yes, he is a fat man in his forties. One of his eyes suffered an injury in earlier years. It doesn’t seem like it could open. There is a long scar on his eyelids,” Lukowski described him in detail. “I heard that he was a pirate before this. After being subdued by the chief, he took on the task of transporting goods by sea. He has been dealing with me for the past ten years.”
“Are there any pictures of him?” Yang Ming asked.
“This… I don’t have it.” Lukowski shook his head, “You know, in our business, it’s a taboo to leave evidence or anything like that. In case he gets caught or I get caught, it’s easy to give clues if we have photos. That’s why we all know each other, but we never dig into each other’s details. It’s just like he only knows my name is Lukowski, but doesn’t know my last name. ”
“You guys are pretty careful,” Yang Ming glanced at Lukowski in surprise. It was difficult to associate Lukowski with being cautious considering his previous actions.
“This is the rule set by our chief, and everyone abides by it,” Lukowski said embarrassingly.
“Last question, do you have any of Old Geese’s contact information? When is the next time he will be here?” Yang Ming asked.
“I don’t have his contact information. Normally, I’ll contact the Blackhawk Gang, then the Blackhawk Gang will contact Old Geese and ask him to contact me.” Lukowski shook his head, “Old Geese only contacted me using a temporary phone number every time. He will change the number again next time. It is a cautious measure to prevent implicating others when one party is in trouble. ”
“Since you know the contact information of the Blackhawk Gang, aren’t they afraid of you leaking it out?” Yang Ming asked strangely.
“They are not afraid of this. After all, the Blackhawk Gang is in Meitena Town. Even if information about the registrant and the registered place of contact can be found, there is nothing that can be done. This is also why the Blackhawk Gang has no fear of dealing with the Song Jiang police,” Lukowski explained.
“Okay, I need to check if what you said is true. Sorry to let you go through this.” While Yang Ming was talking, he raised his hand and quickly hit several of Lukowski’s several points.
“You – What have you done to me? Oh my god, what’s wrong with my body? It seems like a bug is biting me – I’m so uncomfortable. Stop it now. What have you done to me?” Lukowski’s body suddenly twitched. He couldn’t care about the pain in his lower body anymore as he started yelling for help.
“I’ll ask you again, is what you said before the truth?” Yang Ming basically believed what Lukowski had said before in his heart. But he was careful in everything to avoid big mistakes. Yang Ming would also be more at ease after the final confirmation.
“Everything I said is the truth. Hero, please lift these restraints off me. I’m suffering badly here…” Lukowski rolled on the bed, “I really didn’t lie to you. I… Why don’t you just kill me? This is so uncomfortable. I can’t stand it… ”
Chapter 1636: The Art of Disguise
Looking at Lukowski’s face, Yang Ming nodded slightly but did not immediately undo the acupuncture points for him. However, Lukowski’s words made Yang Ming feel some hilarity. What “hero” and “restraints.” This guy knows a lot. Does he usually read a lot of Chinese Xianxia novels?
“I’m going to die, kill me… I’m begging you! … @ # ¥% … & amp; *” Lukowski’s complexion was pale. He even mixed some Russian words that Yang Ming couldn’t understand. It seemed a bit overwhelming indeed.
“Okay, as you wish.” Yang Ming reached out and poked Lukowski’s neck. Lukowski’s twitching body suddenly stilled, then he laid flat on the bed and never moved again.
Yang Ming had not tasted the feeling of being acupunctured himself. But after repeated use, Yang Ming also knew that no one could keep any secret under this acupuncture method. A person who had been acupunctured was better off dead.
Yang Ming sighed slightly looking at the house full of corpses. He took out his mobile phone and dialed Xia Bingbao’s phone.
“Yang Ming, how is it?” Xia Bingbao was also very concerned about Chen Mengyan’s case. It was mainly because Yang Ming was a very useful person for him, so he would not allow any mishaps to happen to Yang Ming. Therefore, Xia Bingbao was enraged hearing the news that Yang Ming’s girlfriend was abducted by the Blackhawk Gang. He even wanted to lead a team all the way to Russia to destroy the Blackhawk Gang personally.
However, he was rejected by Yang Ming for a simple reason. He wanted to take revenge by himself. After listening to Yang Ming’s words, Xia Bingbao hesitated and actually agreed to it. He didn’t intervene anymore, but advised Yang Ming to take actions within his capabilities. In the case that he couldn’t do it alone, he should not act rashly. Instead, he must contact Xia Bingbao to resolve it. Yang Ming agreed to this condition with a smile.
“I’m in the Goldenhawk Logistics company in Bianhai City. This is a stronghold branch of the Blackhawk Gang in the country. I have killed everyone inside. I’m going to Meitena Town in Russia, where the headquarters of the Blackhawk Gang is located.” Yang Ming briefly reported his schedule to Xia Bingbao, “I’ll leave the follow-up work here to you.”
“Follow-up work… Okay, but be careful when you go to Russia,” Xia Bingbao instructed. “I’ll take care of the other things.”
“Okay, so be it. I’ll contact you again if there is something.” Yang Ming hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
After going downstairs, Yang Ming saw a gasoline barrel at the corner of the lobby on the first floor. Yang Ming quickly opened the gasoline barrel and spilled it all over the two-story loft. he then came out of the loft and left far away before lighting a fire.
Xia Bingbao had probably notified the fire department, so the fire truck never came until it almost finished burning. Only then could the sound of a fire truck be heard from far away. Xia Bingbao’s people had probably also come to follow-up. Yang Ming turned around and left the place.
Yang Ming stopped in a hidden place. His facial muscles contracted suddenly. The original appearance of a young man suddenly became that of a middle-aged man.
This was what Yang Ming had learned from Su Ya. After the Magical Lenses fused with his body, another special ability was obtained – The art of disguise.
Yang Ming could disguise his face as anyone’s appearance. This might sound strange, but it actually happened to Yang Ming. However, Yang Ming did not simply use this ability. After all, Yang Ming didn’t want to leave anyone with any clues to grab a hold of such a secret thing. If this was not an emergency, Yang Ming wouldn’t do it.
In the country, Yang Ming didn’t need to avoid anything because of his special status. Even if an accident happened, Xia Bingbao would help with the aftermath. However, this layer of protection was missing since he was no longer within the country. Yang Ming didn’t want his face to appear on any international arrest warrant, so it was better to be careful.
After completing the disguise, Yang Ming satisfactorily looked at his appearance in the mirror. Then, he accelerated his pace and went to the place where he would meet the others in advance.
On the west side of the dock, a man in his thirties was reading the newspaper in a grocery store. Yang Ming pushed open the door and walked in. The man glanced at Yang Ming soundlessly. He then continued to look self-servingly at the newspaper.
“Is Pu Snake Head here?” Yang Ming asked softly after seeing that there was no one else in the store.
After listening to Yang Ming’s words, the man suddenly put down the newspaper in his hand and quickly raised his head, “Who introduced you here?”
“Donghai’s Uncle Sun San,” Yang Ming said lightly.
The man nodded, then he assessed Yang Ming from top to bottom. He said, “Mr. Li?”
“That’s right, Li Muyi.” Yang Ming nodded, took out a tag from his arms and gave it to the man.
The man took it and carefully looked at the several marks and signs agreed on previously with Sun San. He then nodded with satisfaction, “Since you are introduced by Uncle Sun San, then you are considered as our own person. Don’t be too courteous! Our big boss Brother Niu received a favor from Uncle Sun San in his early years. Since it is commanded by Uncle Sun San, then it is our own business! ”
“Thanks a lot!” Yang Ming was relieved. This was Yang Ming’s Plan B. If Chen Mengyan was not in Bianhai City, he would illegally sneak into Russia as soon as possible. And this man’s gang was a small gang that facilitated smuggling in Bianhai City. The Brother Niu the man was talking about was naturally Pu Snake Head – Pu Daniu.
After all, Bao Sanli was too shallow to know the people of these small gangs in Bianhai City. However, Uncle Sun San had a close relationship with people of all trades, as he was located in the province’s capital, and could take advantage of Sun Hongjun’s earlier prosperity. Most importantly, Sun San had helped Pu Daniu once in his early years. This time when he asked for Pu Daniu’s help, Pu Daniu was naturally bound to help.
“Mr. Li, please come together with me to meet Brother Niu.” After the man confirmed Yang Ming’s identity, he became unusually respectful. Li Muyi was a name that Yang Ming casually fabricated. Even Uncle Sun San didn’t question further, and directly told Pu Daniu the name.
In the backyard of the grocery store, Yang Ming saw a bearded-man who was sturdy and well-built. At first glance, one could see that he was born in a slum. According to Uncle Sun San’s description, Yang Ming could see that this should be Pu Daniu.
“Brother Niu!” Yang Ming did as the Romans did when in Rome. He followed the man and shouted Pu Daniu like Brother Niu.
“This must be Mr. Li!” Pu Daniu waved and smiled, “What Brother Niu. Since you are introduced by Uncle Sun San, I dare not be arrogant. Just call me Da Niu!”
“Well then, I’ll call you Da Niu.” Yang Ming hesitated and responded, “Then don’t call me Mr. Li. Just call me Old Li!”
It was apparent that this Pu Daniu was the kind of person who was not bothered with trifles and had no fancy motives. This was why Yang Ming’s forthright attitude could actually win Pu Daniu’s favor.
“Okay, I’ll call you Old Li then!” Pu Daniu laughed and said, “It looks like you are also a forthright person. I heard from Uncle Sun San that you want to go to Russia?”
“Yes, this time I plan to go to Meitena Town,” Yang Ming said. “I don’t know if there are any ships going directly there?”
“The ship is just a small problem. Since you are introduced by Uncle Sun San, I can drive a ship for you alone,” Pu Daniu hesitated and said, “The key problem is, Old Li, you want to go to Meitena Town. This is a bit difficult to handle! ”
” Oh? Why is that so?” Yang Ming wondered, “Isn’t Meitena Town also a port city? Could it be that the security measures are stricter there?”
“That’s not it!” Pu Daniu waved his hand and said, “Although I am in the smuggling business, my family is not the only one in this business in Bianhai City… Especially Meitena town; smuggling there has always been controlled by the largest gang in this city, the Goldenhawk Gang. Other gangs are not allowed to get involved … ”
