Chapter 1639 Pawn

“Who were you calling?” A cold voice sounded. The man wearing glasses who had just hung up the phone was shocked. He couldn’t hold the phone stably in his hand, and it fell to the deck of the boat.

“Who?! Who are you?” The man wearing glasses jumped in fright. He was the only one on the boat. How can someone else be talking? When Pu Daniu gave me the mission, only me and Yang Ming were on board. Now that Yang Ming has left, only I should be remaining on the boat. Where did this sound come from?

“You seem to be really forgetful. How did you forget about me so fast when I just left?” An abrupt voice sounded. The one speaking was Yang Ming who had returned. Right now, he was standing behind the man wearing glasses.

“Mr… Mr. Li?” The man wearing glasses was shocked. He turned around and carefully inspected him. After making out the figure’s silhouette, he could tell that it was Yang Ming. His face turned pale, but he immediately smiled unnaturally and said, “Mr. Li, why did you come back? Do you have any other orders?”

The man wearing glasses was hoping that Yang Ming did not hear what he had just said. If it was like this, then even if Yang Ming was suspicious, he would have no solid proof. He believed that as long as he simply said something, he would be able to muddle through.

“Order? How dare I order you?” Yang Ming secretly let out a sigh. He had never thought that the man wearing glasses would be a spy. While Yang Ming was surprised and angry, he also felt a deep pity for Pu Daniu. After all, the person he thought was his confidant was actually a pawn of the Goldenhawk Gang.

Of course, Yang Ming did not assume that the man wearing glasses was there specifically to target him. He only found out about his unusual behavior by chance. He didn’t know whether he or the man wearing glasses was the unfortunate one.

Before this, when Yang Ming and the man wearing glasses were riding on the boat together, he had already felt something unusual about him. He would always check the time, and he constantly asked Yang Ming where he would be after he reached the shore. Although Yang Ming gave him an indefinite answer the first time, the man wearing glasses did not let Yang Ming off the bat and continued to question him. Initially, Yang Ming was not very cautious about this man wearing glasses. However, this turn of events had made him aware of his problem. The more he looked, the weirder he felt the man wearing glasses was.

Although he had this suspicion Yang Ming was still not fully sure about whether the man in glasses was scheming something. After all, it was only natural for a smuggler to ensure Yang Ming’s drop-off location.

This was not like the usual illegal smuggling. Everything was done underground. If preparations weren’t made beforehand, then some problems could arise. This was why Yang Ming was unsure if the man wearing glasses was suspicious at all.

Besides, the man wearing glasses had no other unusual actions besides looking at his watch a few times. This was also an understandable act. After all, it was smuggling. Time management was a must in order to avoid the official border patrols.

However, since he had this suspicion, Yang Ming would never take the risk. He also did not dare to take any risk! After all, the success of this mission was related to the safety of Chen Mengyan. Yang Ming must not be careless at all. If something went wrong, then his mission would fail.

Because of that, when the man wearing glasses asked Yang Ming one last time about how he was going to reach the shore, Yang Ming contemplated for a while and gave out an unexpected answer. He decided to swim over.

With this, no matter if the man wearing glasses was suspicious, Yang Ming would have time to prepare. If there really was something suspicious, then there would be an ambush prepared no matter if it was the dock of Meitena Town or the familiar dock that the man wearing glasses recommended. If Yang Ming got cornered as soon as he reached the shore, then things would be bad.

Although Yang Ming was confident that he could safely retreat, accidents always happen. If he could ensure his safety, then he would rather do so. Because of that, Yang Ming chose to swim across.

Yang Ming was secretly observing the man wearing glasses when he said that he was going to swim. If the man wearing glasses had no problems, then he would turn around and go back to Bianhai City immediately.

If there was something peculiar with the man wearing glasses, then he would definitely contact the other party and tell them about Yang Ming’s method of reaching the shore. After all, Yang Ming’s choice of swimming had messed up the plans of the man wearing glasses.

Sadly, the man wearing glasses really had something wrong with him. From the looks of it, he was someone from the Blackhawk Gang.

“Mr. Li… what do you mean? Why do I not understand?” The man wearing glasses hoped that Yang Ming only had doubt, but didn’t have solid evidence. He was taking his chances as he said, “Brother Niu has already ordered me to listen to Mr. Li’s orders along the way. Was there something I did wrong that made you unsatisfied?”

“Did wrong? Made me unsatisfied?” Yang Ming sneered and said, “I am not unsatisfied with you. However, you seem to be the one unsatisfied with me. You dare to call me Li brat? And who did you tell to be careful?”

“This-” The man wearing glasses was shocked. However, after hearing what Yang Ming said, he started to relax. “So Mr. Li is angry at how rude I was… Then let me apologize to Mr. Li. I’m a rough person, so it is inevitable for me to be a little rude when I speak. I never thought that my conversation with Brother Niu would be heard by Mr. Li. However, Brother Niu has already scolded me just now.”

The man wearing glasses thought that Yang Ming was displeased solely because he called him “that Li brat”. He did not think that Yang Ming knew about the other matter. It was no wonder that the man wearing glasses had thought so. After all, he had just spoken two or three sentences, and the meanings were unclear as well. If a normal person did not listen carefully and missed a few words, they wouldn’t think that there was anything inappropriate and wouldn’t give it much thought. Consequently, the man wearing glasses was relieved.

“Oh? Really?” Yang Ming looked at the man wearing glasses and gave out a mocking laughter, “Since when did Brother Big Niu have a foreigner name? Vesdruff?”

The man wearing glasses’ facial expression changed drastically upon hearing this name. He now knew that Yang Ming had heard his conversation earlier. Right now, there was no more use in trying to deny it. A ruthless light flashed across his eyes. He suddenly pulled out a handgun from his waist and aimed it at Yang Ming.

“Initially, you could have lived for a while longer. If you were lucky and managed to swim over, you might really avoid any troubles. However, since you came back to die, then don’t blame me!” The man wearing glasses gave out a sigh, “Initially, I did not want to take action myself. If I were to do so, my identity would be easily exposed, and I won’t be able to stay around Pu Daniu anymore…”

Yang Ming was speechless listening to the man wearing glasses speaking to himself. It seemed as if he was forced to kill Yang Ming. Besides, it sounded like Yang Ming was going to become a wraith under his gun. Isn’t this guy too full of himself?

“Who is Vesdruff?” Yang Ming did not care about his mutters and asked.

“There’s no problem with telling you. I’ll let you know why you die.” The man wearing glasses felt like victory was already in his grasp. He felt as if Yang Ming was already under his control since his gun was pointing at him. Because of this, he did not mind talking to Yang Ming for a while.

Although he knew beforehand that the annihilation of the Goldenhawk Gang had a direct relationship with Yang Ming, he did not see it by himself after all. Besides, he didn’t think that Yang Ming did this with just his bare hands. Who knew if he had any helpers or possessed a very strong weapon with him at that time!?

Because of this, the man wearing glasses practically wasn’t taking any precaution against the weaponless Yang Ming. He also didn’t think that Yang Ming would be able to strike back.

“Hehe…” Yang Ming smiled lightly. He did not respond to the man wearing glasses.

“Vesdruff is the deputy leader of the Blackhawk Gang. He is also my boss. As for why I appeared beside Pu Daniu, you don’t have to know. It’s not related to you,” The man wearing glasses explained.

The reason why the man wearing glasses was beside Pu Daniu was really unrelated to Yang Ming at all. This time, he only wanted to take action against Yang Ming solely because of a coincidental accident.

Pu Daniu was the biggest smuggler in Bianhai City. He had many boats under him. Such advantageous resources would obviously be coveted by the Goldenhawk Gang. Because of that, they decided to place a spy beside Pu Daniu, who was the man wearing glasses. He had gotten Pu Daniu’s trust after just a few years and had become a capable right-hand man of Pu Daniu.

However, the man wearing glasses had utilized Pu Daniu’s resources to help the Blackhawk Gang smuggle drugs during their smuggling missions. As a result, the costs and risks of the Blackhawk Gang’s smuggling had been significantly reduced.

The Blackhawk Gang wasn’t really scheming against Pu Daniu. After all, Pu Daniu was not that attractive to them.

Of course, Yang Ming was not interested in knowing this kind of stuff. He only needed to know that the man wearing glasses was someone from the Blackhawk Gang.

Chapter 1640: You Stay Here

“Did you tell that Vesdruff about my aim in coming to Meitena Town?” This was the news that Yang Ming wanted to know the most. If the man wearing glasses had really leaked his plan, then Yang Ming would have to alter it.

“Of course. However, there’s no use in you knowing about this anymore,” The man wearing glasses contemptuously. “Even if I do not say it, do you think that you can leave here?”

“Do you mean that you want to keep me here?” Yang Ming’s facial expression turned serious. However, his tone had no hint of fright.

“Hehe, blame your honesty.” The man wearing glasses said with pity, “If you were with the police, then I would have some worries about taking action against you. After all, a cop going missing all of a sudden is not a small matter. The Song Jiang Police Force would not just let it be. However, since you aren’t, then I have nothing to worry about. The only person who knew that you were coming here is just Sun San. If you were to disappear in a landless place like this, he won’t even be able to guess what had happened. Let’s say he knew that I was the one who killed you. But it wouldn’t even matter. Since I decided to take action against you, I don’t intend to go back anymore. After I finish you off, I’ll directly cross the border. I can still make a living there.”

“Oh? Is that so? I also did not plan on letting you go back.” Yang Ming smiled lightly and said, “However, I also have no intention of letting you cross the border. Since you have such an intention, you shall stay here.”

“Stay here? What do you mean? Are you clear about your situation?” The man wearing glasses dumbstruck for a moment. After he regained his consciousness, he smiled and looked at Yang Ming in contempt, “You really think that you are invincible? Do you think that you can escape from my gun? Since you want to die so much, then let me fulfill your wish.”

“You want to kill me with this kind of gun?” Yang Ming raised his finger and pointed at the gun in the man wearing glasses’ hand as if he did not care about it at all.

“Why? Is there anything inappropriate about it?” The man wearing glasses was a little nervous while looking at Yang Ming, “Don’t play any tricks with me. Don’t simply move your hand. Otherwise, I’ll fire!”

“Okay, then go ahead and shoot,” Yang Ming nodded and agreed.

The man wearing glasses was a little dumbstruck by Yang Ming’s heroic aura. He felt that something was not right, but could not determine what it was. However, since he could not figure it out, the man wearing glasses decided to not think about it anymore. Since this guy is so weird, I might as well just settle him first. If not, if he is really capable of something, then the gains will not make up for the losses if there is an accident.

When he thought up to this point, his facial expression turned serious and he pulled the trigger. However, he didn’t expect to only hear a click sound from the gun.

The heart of the man wearing glasses shuddered. He felt that something was off. Is the gun jammed? Why am I so unlucky? The man wearing glasses barely had the chance to use a gun as he was always beside Pu Daniu. When he suddenly realized that there was no bullet coming out, he started to panic. He immediately pulled the trigger multiple times. Sadly, no gunshot could be heard. He could only hear the click sound.

The man wearing glasses broke out into a cold sweat. He felt shocked as he looked at Yang Ming who was so calm as if he had already anticipated this outcome. Could it be that this guy did something?

“What’s wrong? No more bullets in your gun?” Yang Ming bared his teeth and smiled very innocently. It was as if he was a little kid who had found a treasure and was showing it off to an adult. He reached out his hand and a few bullets were in his palm, “Are you looking for these?”

“Why are the bullets with you? Impossible!” The man wearing glasses could not believe that Yang Ming was able to secretly steal the bullets from his gun. He opened the magazine fanatically and found out that it was empty.

The man wearing glasses’ face twitched twice. Like his phone previously, his gun fell onto the deck of the ship with a loud sound. His eyes were filled with infinite fear, “You already suspected me beforehand?”

Yang Ming nodded. When Yang Ming had his suspicions about the man wearing glasses, he had already taken some precautionary steps. As the Kings of Assassins, it was no trouble at all for him to take out all the bullets from the gun. Yang Ming had already done it secretly without the man wearing glasses noticing.

That was why Yang Ming was not afraid of him at all. If not, even if Yang Ming was careless, he would still have some countermeasures even when there was a gun pointing at him. He would not let the man wearing glasses do what he wanted.

“Before this, you kept looking at the watch and constantly asking about how I’m going to reach the shore. I had my suspicions at that time,” Yang Ming said. “However, I was just suspicious, so I did not take any action against you after taking away the bullets from your gun. This was just a precaution. If you did not have any bad intentions against me, then you wouldn’t be affected at all. However, I never thought that you were from the Blackhawk Gang.”

“I see… it seems that I was too impatient…” Although the face of the man wearing glasses was pale, he still pretended to stay calm and said, “Now, what are you going to do to me?”

As he was saying that sentence, the man in glasses eyes hovered over to the side of the boat. It was apparent that he had no means of defending himself against Yang Ming as his gun was on the floor, so he was planning to run away.

Yang Ming could obviously tell what the man wearing glasses was planning to do. Seeing his act, Yang Ming couldn’t help but feel amused. He pouted and said, “I said it before. You should just stay here.”

“Okay. If that’s the case, I shall do so.” The man wearing glasses nodded with determination, and he slowly stood up. His posture looked like he was already determined to die. However, the moment he stood up, he swayed to the side and jumped off the boat. His whole body dived into the water.

From the perspective of the man wearing glasses, if he jumped into the water, Yang Ming would not be able to do anything to him no matter how strong Yang Ming was. After all, it was so dark. Besides, the man wearing glasses had confirmed that Yang Ming was not holding any firearms on him other than a few bullets. By the time Yang Ming took out his gun from the bag, he would have already disappeared into the dark waters. It would be too late to do anything else as Yang Ming would have already missed the opportunity.

When Yang Ming saw the man wearing glasses jumping into the waters, he did not stop him. Instead, his face held a hint of contempt. His right hand vibrated lightly, and a bullet flew straight to the top of the man wearing glasses’ head. A moan sounded, and the man wearing glasses fell into the water with a loud splash. After floating up for a few times, his silhouette could not be seen anymore.

“You saved me the trouble of throwing you into the sea since you jumped inside it yourself.” Yang Ming simply threw the few remaining bullets into the sea, then clapped his hands.

Yang Ming could even kill someone using something as small and light as a flying needle, let alone a bullet. By using the bullet, Yang Ming had also saved a flying needle.

As for the man wearing glasses, he definitely wouldn’t understand how Yang Ming could kill him with just a bullet. If he knew that Yang Ming was the King of Assassins, he would not be so careless.

However, the man wearing glasses would never understand this reason in his life. He died unknowingly. He had indeed become a confused ghost as he didn’t even know how he died.
