Chapter 1787: What Should I Do If You Are Dead

“Yes, stop! I think you’re fine now!” Xia Bingbao was shocked when he heard Yang Ming talk about the mission. He was afraid Yang Ming would not go!

In fact, Xia Bingbao also knew that the personnel performing this mission had a ninety percent probability of dying. Xia Xue’s participation was decided by the head of the family. Xia Bingbao could not do anything to change it. His father’s train of thought differed to his. His father thought that Xia Xue needed to gain some experience. Otherwise, she would be too inexperienced to be a Police Captain due to her young age.

However, Xia Xue was in this line of business, so it was reasonable for her to participate in this mission. However, it was not fair for Yang Ming. Yang Ming was not a full-time employee. He was a college student enjoying a good life. Wasn’t it a bit cruel to make him undertake such a mission?

However, Xia Bingbao had no choice. After all, this was a major mission to eliminate the evildoers for the public’s wellbeing. If Elder You was allowed to cultivate his sinister arts, the consequences would be disastrous!

Although this seemed to be a bit of a sci-fi sensation with evil arts, it was happening right now! Xia Bingbao had also witnessed Elder You’s practice of consuming human blood to master his arts.

“It was just a joke,” said Yang Ming lightly. “Since I promised you, I will go.”

“Ugh…” Yang Ming’s calm tone actually made Xia Bingbao’s eyelids feel moist, but he held in his emotion and said, “You youngster got into trouble again and made me clean up your mess. Tell me where and I’ll send someone to take care of it!”

“Hehe,” Yang Ming naturally noticed the change in Xia Bingbao’s temperament, but he didn’t comment on it. “Jidun City, in a small alley next to the Old Man Wang’s Xi’an-style Lamb Meat and Bread Soup Shop near the Immortal Resort.”

“I’ll get my people in Jidun city to go over,” Xia Bingbao agreed after listening and hung up the phone.

“Yang Ming, who are you calling? What is this mission thing? What are you talking about?” Jing Xiaolu waited for Yang Ming to hang up the phone, then confusedly asked, “Can this person help you?”

“Wait and see.” Yang Ming smiled.

“Then we are waiting here? Are we waiting for the police to come and arrest us?” Jing Xiaolu felt that she and Yang Ming were behaving silly. After killing a person, is he waiting to be arrested? Does he not even consider running away?

“It’s not certain who will be arrested,” Yang Ming glanced at the Nissan van and said without any worry. This Zhang Kaiyuan and Yu Xiangde had teamed up and attacked him. Could Xia Bingbao let them off? Yang Ming had an important mission now, and these two guys wanted to kill him. Yang Ming guessed that Zhang Kaiyuan would be worse off after being worked over by Xia Bingbao.

“Ah?” Jing Xiaolu looked at Yang Ming stupefied. “Could it be that the police are coming to arrest them, not you? They are the victims!”

“You’re wrong. I’m the victim,” Yang Ming shrugged and said. “He wanted to kill me.”

“This…” Jing Xiaolu thought in her heart, Indeed they wanted to kill you, but that does not mean you can kill them!

As the two of them were talking, sirens were heard from a distance. A standard police car and a black Audi A6 with an official plate stopped in front of Yang Ming.

Yang Ming glanced at the row of passes stuck on the A6 car’s windshield and knew that this car was from his side. It seemed that Xia Bingbao responded really fast. His men actually arrived at the same time as the police. As a matter of fact, Zhang Kaiyuan was the first to report to the police.

However, Yang Ming also knew what kind of organization he was in. It was not surprising that the response speed was fast.

A man in a black suit and sunglasses jumped out of the Audi car quickly and walked towards Yang Ming. While walking, he compared Yang Ming to an image on his cell phone’s screen. Yang Ming used his special ability to see the phone screen in the hand of the man in the black suit. It was his photo. It looked like Xia Bingbao had sent his photo to the man.

The man confirmed that Yang Ming matched up to the image on his cell phone, and then said enthusiastically, “Mr. Yang? I was assigned to come over here by Captain Xia. My name is Li Zhi. May I have a look at your credentials?”

Yang Ming was exasperated by Li Zhi’s caution. After he checked the photos, he still had to check Yang Ming’s credentials. But there was nothing wrong with being careful. Yang Ming also understood that so he gave his special credentials to Li Zhi without question.

Li Zhi flipped through it quickly and returned it to Yang Ming. He confirmed the authenticity of the documents as soon as he went over it once. “Thank you, Mr. Yang. My apologies. I have to act according to rules.”

“It’s nothing.” Yang Ming waved his hand. “It must be troublesome for you to come over at this late hour.”

“It’s my duty. Captain Xia told me. Mr. Yang, you are a key person that must be protected, and there can not be any mishap! These little rascals must be blind when they wanted to shoot you. I think that they don’t want to live,” said Li Zhi.

“Brother Li, one of the five men lying on the ground was killed by a bullet shot to the head, and four are unconscious. The person inside the car is fatally injured and unconscious. What do you want to do now?” This policeman had taken over this case after receiving a phone call from Xia Bingbao. He only came here to assist Li Zhi in handling this case.

“Send the wounded to the hospital first, and confirm the identity of the dead,” said Li Zhi. “Detain those unconscious people first. Mr. Yang and I will interrogate them.”

“Yes, Brother Li.” Several police officers began to deal with the scene according to Li Zhi’s instructions.

Jing Xiaolu stared in disbelief from the side! Who is this Li Zhi? He decided this case in a few words and the police seem to be assisting him!

The strangest thing was that he actually asked Yang Ming to show some kind of documents. After Yang Ming showed the documents, the two of them became like comrades at the front line. Moreover, Li Zhi actually said that he would go and interrogate the several unconscious people with Yang Ming!

Does Yang Ming have this power?

“Mr. Yang, where are you going now? Do you think we should interrogate these people now, or shall I take you back to rest?” asked Li Zhi.

“I do not need to go to the interrogation. You can just simply ask them. The reason behind this matter is actually very simple. I accompanied my girlfriend to her class reunion. A man had a crush on my girlfriend before. That’s the guy whom I shot in the lower part of his body. He found a few people from the underworld to teach me a lesson and to abduct my girlfriend. The guy that he found also had enmity with me before. I kicked him when he was in the detention center. So he wanted to kill me with a gun. The end result was that I snatched the gun and killed him instead.” Yang Ming explained briefly.

“That’s what happened!” Although Li Zhi was a little curious about what Yang Ming was doing in a detention center, he did not ask much. Anything was possible in Yang Ming’s field. Maybe Yang Ming went undercover.

“Please help me deal with the follow-up matters. I will not go. I am now going back to the Immortal Resort,” said Yang Ming.

“I’ll accompany you!” Li Zhi said quickly.

“You don’t need to accompany me!” Yang Ming waved his hand, “I can go back on my own, and I have a car here.”

“Mr. Yang, Captain Xia gave me a do-or-die order to protect your safety. I must escort you to the hotel safely!” said Li Zhi firmly.

“This… isn’t necessary, is it?” Yang Ming smiled painfully after hearing this. “It’s only a short distance. I can go alone!”

“This is a mission!” Li Zhi said firmly again. “Captain Xia ordered me to do so!”

“Ugh…” Yang Ming was really a little helpless and had to say, “How about this? I’ll call Brother Xia!”

“That’s fine.” Li Zhi nodded. “Mr. Yang, I was ordered to protect your safety at Captain Xia’s insistence. I really can’t leave. Please understand my circumstances.”

“It’s okay. I understand!” Yang Ming nodded in understanding. Li Zhi naturally obeyed Xia Bingbao. Yang Ming did not need to follow this kind of strict discipline. He was more casual. Those who were permanent staff followed orders strictly.

As Yang Ming spoke, he took out the phone and dialed Xia Bingbao’s phone number.

Xia Bingbao quickly picked up the call, “Yang Ming, how’s it going? Has Li Zhi rushed over yet?”

“He is here. It’s been resolved, but he said that you want him to protect me?” asked Yang Ming with a grin.

“Yeah, you youngster will either be assassinated or shot one day. I’m scared. Don’t die before you go to Yunnan. I have already made a report to my superior. How can I report that you are dead?” said Xia Bingbao kindly.

Chapter 1788: Even You Too

“This…” Yang Ming broke into a sweat. “Well, I admit that I have exaggerated the facts previously. Actually, I am fine.”

“You youngster, if I don’t teach you a lesson, you will start to fool around with me!” Xia Bingbao laughed after hearing Yang Ming’s words. “Give Li Zhi the phone. I will tell him!”

“Okay, wait a minute!” Yang Ming passed the phone to Li Zhi and said, “Brother Li, take the call. It is from Brother Xia.”

“Captain Xia!” Li Zhi quickly took the phone and said respectfully, “I am Li Zhi!”

“Li Zhi, is everything settled over there?” asked Xia Bingbao.

“Everything is settled!” said Li Zhi. “Mr. Yang is fine.”

“Okay, you can go back,” said Xia Bingbao. “Yang Ming is much stronger than you. You don’t need to protect him.”

“Okay, Captain Xia!” Li Zhi was not offended and answered unhesitatingly. Li Zhi naturally knew that Yang Ming was a very important person in the organization. Otherwise, Xia Bingbao would not be so nervous. He had no doubts about Yang Ming’s abilities. It could be seen from the few people lying on the ground before.

“Well, you can return the phone to Yang Ming,” said Xia Bingbao.

“Yes, Captain Xia!” Li Zhi said, and passed the phone to Yang Ming again. “Mr. Yang, Captain Xia is asking for you.”

Yang Ming nodded and took the phone, “Brother Xia, is there anything else?”

“You youngster better behave for the moment. Do not get into any mishaps!” Xia Bingbao warned.

“Relax, Brother Xia, I’m fine.” Yang Ming smiled. “It has nothing to do with my restlessness. It was someone who provoked me!”

“En, if someone attacks you, just kill them. Don’t leave troubles for the future.” Xia Bingbao exclaimed. “But don’t misuse this privilege. I’m just afraid that after you leave, your enemies who you did not completely eliminate will trouble your family.”

“I understand. I know my limits.” Yang Ming was not a mass murderer. So far, the people that Yang Ming had killed deserved to be dead. There were reasons for their deaths. Yang Ming would not lift his hand against the innocent.

“It’s good that you know. I will not say anything else. Take care,” said Xia Bingbao. He knew Yang Ming’s temperament quite well, so he did not worry that Yang Ming would act rashly.

“Take care.” Yang Ming hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

“Mr. Yang, I will leave first. This is my business card. If you need anything, please contact me at any time. This Jidun city is within my jurisdiction.” Li Zhi handed his business card to Yang Ming after Yang Ming pocketed his cell phone.

“Okay,” Yang Ming nodded. He pondered for a while, then pulled out a business card to hand it to Li Zhi. “This is my contact information. There is no job title printed on it, only a phone number.”

Yang Ming’s business card was simple. It was similar to plain white cards with only his name and phone number printed on it.

“It’s okay, hehe.” Li Zhi glanced at the business card with a smile, and carefully put t away, “I will leave then.”

“Contact me through phone,” said Yang Ming.

Li Zhi did not say anymore. He turned around, got into the car, and drove away.

Jing Xiaolu’s stared at Yang Ming in worship and admiration, “Yang Ming, am I not dreaming today?”

“Of course not.” Yang Ming shook his head.

“What does Li Zhi do? And who is that Captain Xia?” Jing Xiaolu waited till Li Zhi left. She had too many questions to ask Yang Ming, “How come everything was settled as soon as he came?”

“Li Zhi is attached to a national special agent organization. Captain Xia is his top boss… and of course mine as well…” said Yang Ming with a grin. In reality, Yang Ming did not want to tell Jing Xiaolu any of these things. But he did not expect for such a thing to happen coincidentally today. Yang Ming had no choice but to reveal his identity.

In the current situation, Jing Xiaolu would not give up asking if he tried to hide some things. Moreover, Jing Xiaolu was smart. She would not believe it if Yang Ming just uttered some nonsense. As of now, Yang Ming might as well be truthful with Jing Xiaolu. Yang Ming believed Jing Xiaolu was a conscientious person. If he told her to keep it secret, she would not go and tell Chen Mengyan and the rest.

“What! Your top boss as well? Does that mean that you are also an agent?” Jing Xiaolu’s eyes widened in surprise and she looked at Yang Ming in wonder, “Really?”

“I shot Yu Xiangde and am still standing here okay. Are you saying it is fake?” Yang Ming shrugged.

“Yeah! It turns out that you are an agent, really an agent. There is really such a profession!” Jing Xiaolu exclaimed with excitement. “I kept on wondering why you were so calm. You have the privilege! Can you kill whoever you want?”

Yang Ming looked at Jing Xiaolu and shook his head helplessly. My other identity is that of the King of Assassins so theoretically, I can kill anyone I wish. But I also have the identity of an agent. How can I kill indiscriminately?

“Xiaolu, we also exercise discipline. This Yu Xiangde is not a good person and he wanted to kill me first. I had no choice but to kill him.” Yang Ming explained. In fact, Yang Ming did not want to kill Yu Xiangde initially, but he discarded his inhibitions after Yu Xiangde took out his pistol. People like Yu Xiangde had too strong a desire for revenge. Even if Yang Ming let him go this time, he might not have any ideas in the short term, but no one could guarantee that in the long term this guy would not be tempted to seek revenge or to attack the people around him. By that time, it would be too late for Yang Ming to regret!

Especially now that he was going to Yunnan, Yang Ming did not want to leave any future problems. So, he had to cut off the roots of the problem.

“So that’s the case. But it’s still so cool!” said Jing Xiaolu. “Yang Ming, why didn’t you tell me before?”

“This… is also confidential…” Yang Ming had to say. “This time you are also involved, so it can’t be helped.”

“So, am I the only woman who knows your secret?” Jing Xiaolu was surprised by Yang Ming’s words.

“There is one more, but you don’t know her.” Yang Ming was referring to Wang Xiaoyan, “She can also be considered to be in my profession.”

“She is also an agent?” Jing Xiaolu did not expect Yang Ming to have such a woman.

“Not an agent, but her nature of work is similar,” said Yang Ming.

“Oh, that is to say, I am the only one among your normal women who knows your secret?” Jing Xiaolu continued to say narcissistically.

“Ugh… you can say so.” Yang Ming nodded wryly.

“Hehe, haha, hee hee…” Jing Xiaolu started to giggle after hearing Yang Ming’s confirmation.

“Why weren’t you a little scared just now?” Yang Ming changed the subject as he did not want to get entangled on this topic. Yang Ming did not want to disclose his Yunnan trip if possible

“I used to mingle in the underworld before! I saw many people fighting and slashing others, and I saw blood almost every time. What’s so scary about it? I still feel fired up!” said Jing Xiaolu.

Yang Ming suddenly started sweating when he heard this. But he also understood that he was also involved in fights before this. Wasn’t he accustomed to it? But Jing Xiaolu was more ruthless than him.

“Get in the car. Let’s go back. This is like eating a meal.” Yang Ming sighed and called Jing Xiaolu to get in the car.

“Well, why didn’t you ask Li Zhi to escort us back?” Jing Xiaolu remembered Li Zhi and said with some disappointment.

“Escort? Why would I want him to do that?” Yang Ming looked at Jing Xiaolu strangely.

“It would be so cool to have him drive his car drive in front of us with lights flashing and siren screaming. How awesome!” said Jing Xiaolu.

“Ah?” Yang Ming did not expect that Jing Xiaolu wanted to have Li Zhi send him back just for this! He was amused. “What’s so awesome about this…”
