Chapter 1855: Guess and Doubt

It also confirmed Yang Ming’s speculation. If he isn’t targeting me, then why does he have to kill me? If they imprisoned Zhang Bing and Zhang Jiefang imprisoned to lure me out, then why would they not wait for others to come and save me?

So, Yang Ming had reason to suspect that their target was him instead of Zhang Bing and Zhang Jiefang. If they were targeting him, they should already know the relationship between him, Zhang Bing, and Zhang Jiefang. They used both of them as bait to lure him out here.

Klass’s first question to him when he first entered the door also revealed some suspicious points. He had asked, “Are you a friend of Zhang Bing and Zhang Jiefang?”

According to common sense, Zhang Jiefang was Zhang Bing’s father. Even if someone came to rescue them, the person asking would think that the father was the one who requested the helper instead of the child, Zhang Bing.

After Yang Ming came, he also didn’t say whether he was looking for Zhang Jiefang or Zhang Bing. But Klass put Zhang Bing’s name directly in front and Zhang Jiefang behind. So, he could determine that Klass knew he was Zhang Bing’s friend.

Although there was the possibility that this was simply a verbal error, this doubt still made Yang Ming vigilant, and even more skeptical of the future.

There was a possibility that the security personnel had received Smith’s command since they did not stop Yang Ming on his way out. Yang Ming exited South City Casino smoothly.

It seemed that Zhang Bing and Zhang Jiefang were no longer in the casino. There was no need for them to continue being detained here. Initially, Yang Ming’s plan was to use his special ability to conduct a 360-degree full search of the casino to see if he could find where they were being held. However, this idea was no longer feasible.

A taxi was waiting for passengers outside the casino. Yang Ming unintentionally discovered that it was the same driver who had brought him here before. After arriving here, he remained at the door to continue waiting for passengers, but he did not expect Yang Ming to come out so soon.

The driver was stunned when he saw Yang Ming. “Young man, you lost so quickly?”

He thought, Yang Ming is way too fast? Regardless of the game he played, how could he have lost all his money so fast?

“Hehe, I went to look for someone, not to gamble,” Yang Ming explained, lest the taxi driver asked more.

“I see.” The driver didn’t ask anything further after hearing Yang Ming’s explanation. He said, “Where are we going now?”

“Go back to the Douglas Vast Hotel, the place we left from just now,” Yang Ming said. Yang Ming had no intention to roam around the city of Las Vegas. Apart from casinos, there was really nothing famous here.

Yang Ming was not interested in casinos. If you knew that you would win every time, would you still be interested in gambling? The gambler’s heart sought excitement and adventure. Without the joyful feeling of adventure and excitement, gamblers would lose their joy of gambling.

Some billionaires were already wealthy, yet even they would fantasize about becoming rich overnight. Gambling was just a moment of excitement between the pursuit of victory and defeat.

And when this feeling of excitement turned into knowing that you would win, would you gamble again? Naturally not. Yang Ming was in this situation. He was not short of money and he also knew that he would win every time he gambled. Why would he still gamble?

After returning to the Douglas Vast Hotel, Yang Ming simply told Wang Mei about the other party’s demands. He was going to bet with Klass tomorrow, but he didn’t mention the specific conditions. He didn’t want Wang Mei to worry about him after knowing it.

After informing Wang Mei that Zhang Bing and Zhang Jiefang were fine for the time being, he let her rest in her room with peace of mind. Yang Ming also returned to his room. He didn’t want to be idle. He wanted to investigate the background of the South City Casino and Klass’ identity.

The best way to investigate the background of South City Casino was to consult with someone in the industry. Although Batterton had great connections and a strong background in Las Vegas, he could only inquire about the background of the South City Casino in Las Vegas at best. Yang Ming wanted to know some of the relationships and forces behind the South City Casino. For this, Batterton was obviously powerless.

After thinking about it, Yang Ming dialed Huang Lele’s phone. Huang Lele’s family were wealthy merchants in Singapore. They were also committed to operating the global gambling and entertainment industry. They had opened casinos in many places around the world. Although they were not as big as the South City Casino, it should be easier for Huang Lele compared to Batterton to investigate the background of the South City Casino.

After all, they were competitors in the same industry. Everyone knew this.

However, Huang Lele’s phone was turned off. Yang Ming thought that Huang Lele was probably on a flight now and had to turn off her phone. But it didn’t matter. In addition to Huang Lele, Yang Ming was now familiar with the other members of the Huang Family.

After all, after the battle with Singapore’s Li Family, Yang Ming had established a god-like position in the eyes of the Huang Family.

“Hello?” Huang Rongjin picked up the phone uncertainty. The phone number was forwarded through a foreign IP.

“Second Brother, this is Yang Ming.” Because of Huang Lele, Yang Ming’s address for Huang Rongjin changed from Brother Huang to Second Brother.

“Yang Ming! It’s you, hehe. You haven’t called me in a long time. I’ve missed you!” Huang Rongjin heard Yang Ming’s voice and became enthusiastic.

“I’ve been a bit busy lately, so I couldn’t find time,” Yang Ming explained apologetically. Yang Ming also couldn’t tell Huang Rongjin about his upcoming trip to Yunnan. Although they had a good relationship, Yang Ming would not disclose this sort of thing prematurely.

“Oh yeah, Yang Ming, why are you looking for me?” Huang Rongjin asked. He thought it was impossible that Yang Ming called him just to greet him. There must be something else.

“Here’s the thing. Help me inquire about the South City Casino in Las Vegas. What is their background?” Yang Ming said.

“The South City Casino in Las Vegas? Yang Ming, have you been to Las Vegas?” Huang Rongjin asked strangely. “This casino is also in Macau. Are they troubling you?”

“There’s also one in Macau?” Yang Ming was stunned. “Trouble me? What do you mean?”

“Yang Ming, don’t you remember? When you were in Macau, you killed the consultant of the Nancheng Casino, Yu Deyi, and forced their casino to move out of our Huang Family Casino’s territory. They even went out of business for a while. Basically, you stripped them of their place in the Macau gaming industry in one fell swoop,” Huang Rongjin explained.

“Nancheng Casino?” After Yang Ming heard Huang Rongjin’s words, he was a little confused. Then, he said to himself, “South City, southern city… Nancheng? Damn, no way? It’s them?”

“Yes. The English name of the Nancheng Casino in Macau is South City, which is run by a company,” Huang Rongjin explained. “That’s why I asked, is it because of that issue in Macau last time that they are troubling you?”

“That should not be the case?” Although Yang Ming had some doubts, he quickly denied this. First, although he had offended the Nancheng Casino while he was in Macau, he was representing the Huang Family Casino at that time. He was just a representative of the Huang Family at best, so even if the people of the Nancheng Casino had some resentment, they would vent their anger on the Huang Family people instead of him.

Second, although Zhang Bing had also gone to Macau, he had gone there afterward. Even if the Nancheng Casino was targeting him, they couldn’t have caught Zhang Bing first to lure him out. Never mind that it was troublesome, Yang Ming also didn’t believe that the senior management of the Nancheng Casino would send the images of everyone around him to all their branch casinos because of this matter. Being able to send his image was already impressive.

The third point was the most critical one. Even if he had offended the Nancheng Casino, they didn’t have to gamble their lives with him. Although he offended the Nancheng Casino in Macau, it was only in the name of a competitor. There was no need to kill him no matter how much they hated him. Casinos were all about profit. Rather than using this method to kill him, it was better to find a killer to kill him without leaving behind any evidence.

Now the Huang Family was not a family they could provoke either. They had merged with Singapore’s Li Family. This was a well-known matter. There was no way they wouldn’t be able to find out about his relationship with Huang Lele. Wouldn’t they just be asking for a deeper hatred with the Huang Family if the brazenly killed him?

If they really hated him, they should quietly kill him so no one would suspect them.

Chapter 1856.

“I don’t think it is very likely. There are rules between casinos. If they want to challenge you, they can only do it in the name of the casino. They wouldn’t act recklessly. That would be breaking the rules. They would be isolated by the rest of the industry,” Huang Rongjin explained, “I don’t really know about the Nancheng Casino’s background. But, I can ask Big Brother and Father when they return. They should know.”

“Well, once you figure it out, call me back. I still have the same China number,” Yang Ming said.

“Okay, I’m going home to meet Father now,” Huang Rongjin said.

“There is also someone else. Help me to investigate him.” Yang Ming remembered Klass.

“En, Yang Ming. Tell me,” Huang Rongjin said.

“This person is called Klass. His gambling skills should be pretty good. Help me to investigate him. He is an Asian man, no more than forty years old; maybe about thirty-five years old. He’s shorter than 175 centimeters and fluent in Chinese,” Yang Ming described Klass’s appearance and characteristics.

“Okay, I have noted it down. I’ll give you the results in a while,” Huang Rongjin took note of what Yang Ming said with pen and paper.

Although Huang Rongjin had not given him very important news, what surprised Yang Ming the most was that this South City Casino was actually the Nancheng Casino in Macau. These two were from the same company.

No wonder he initially thought that the name South City was a bit familiar. It was for this reason. They were better off since he hadn’t gone to trouble them yet, but they came to trouble him first.

Based on Yang Ming’s judgment, the South City Casino was playing an accomplice role in this matter. The main character was still that Klass and the one behind him.

While waiting for Huang Rongjin to call back, Yang Ming turned on the TV in the room and watched some TV shows casually. Shortly thereafter, the telephone rang.

“Hello? Hi.” Yang Ming thought it was Huang Rongjin. It seemed that he was very efficient in doing things.

“Yang Ming, this is Lele. Did you call me?” Huang Lele’s voice came over the phone.

“En?” Yang Ming froze, and then remembered that he called Huang Lele just now. Her phone had the function to send an SMS notification when the phone could not be reached. He did not expect that his phone number could not be displayed in phone calls, but it could be displayed on the SMS.

However, Yang Ming did not understand the specific operating methods of telecommunications companies. It seemed that mobile phones that did not have roaming on could directly send international SMS messages. So, Huang Lele could directly receive his number despite not having roaming.

“I called you just because I wanted to find out something from you. Seeing that your phone was turned off, I called Second Brother. He said he’ll contact me after checking,” Yang Ming said, “Were you on the plane just now?”

“En, I was on the plane just now. Yang Ming, I’m in Donghai and I can stay overnight. Why don’t you come and find me? I miss you,” Huang Lele heard that Yang Ming had called Huang Rongjin to ask about the situation, so she did not ask more.

“Ugh … I’m in Las Vegas…” Yang Ming said embarrassedly.

“Ah? You went to Las Vegas?” Huang Lele froze. She could only say disappointedly, “That’s okay. It does not matter. Handle your matters first.”

“Or else, once I’m done here, I’ll go see you in Singapore?” Yang Ming also missed Huang Lele a bit. After all, they had not seen each other for some time.

“It’s okay, you don’t have to go through the trouble. I’ve been flying to Donghai these days, and I will come here again next week,” Huang Lele said.

“That’s good too. Then, contact me next week.” Yang Ming sighed. He didn’t know how to tell Huang Lele about his trip to Yunnan. Of course, the best thing was to not tell her.

“En, then I’ll hang up first. Are you waiting for my brother’s call?” Huang Lele said.

“En, he said he’ll call me in a while,” Yang Ming said. “Take care.”

“Okay.” Huang Lele hung up after speaking. Not long after Huang Lele’s call, Yang Ming’s phone rang again.

This time, it should be from Huang Rongjin?

“Hello?” Yang Ming answered the phone.

“Yang Ming, it’s me, Rongjin,” Huang Rongjin said immediately. “I’ve asked my father about Nancheng Casino and this person, Klass. I have compiled their information. Let me tell you about them?”

“En, tell me.” Yang Ming did not expect Huang Rongjin to be so efficient.

In fact, the entire Huang Family considered Yang Ming as their life-saver. Huang Rongjin had immediately informed his father of Yang Ming’s request when he returned home. Then, Mr. Huang immediately called his subordinates, so the news came back quickly.

“Behind the Nancheng Casino is the Nancheng family in Europe. Their entire family has exclusively occupied a small town in the southern frontier and named it Nancheng. Their family is very famous in the European upper society and is a superfamily. It is said that the current Family Master, Goyadod, is supported by Miss Alice. That’s why the Nancheng family has been able to grow rapidly in recent years. However, this is only a rumor. There is no conclusive evidence. After all, Miss Alice is very mysterious. No one can verify this… Oh right, Yang Ming, do you know who Alice is?” Huang Rongjin suddenly thought Yang Ming might not know who Alice was, so he added that last sentence.

“I know her… Continue talking!” Although Yang Ming didn’t show anything on the surface, there was already a stormy sea in his heart! Alice, it turned out to be Alice!

Yang Ming could already determine what kind of person Alice was. He initially had doubts about her. Then, Victoria saw that she was involved with the behind-the-scenes boss. Yang Ming could conclude that Alice was in an alliance with the behind-the-scenes boss.

Although Huang Rongjin said that it was only a rumor that the Family Master Goyadod of the Nancheng family had received Alice’s support, Yang Ming could now confirm that this was not simply a rumor!

Since this matter was related to Alice, everything was becoming clearer. If he did not guess wrong, this time’s matter was perpetrated by the behind-the-scenes boss!

He was the only one who knew about Yang Ming’s relationship with Zhang Bing and Zhang Jiefang. He also knew that Yang Ming would stick up for Zhang Bing, and only he could make Nancheng Casino cooperate with this matter through Alice!

Although everything seemed to be a coincidence before, Yang Ming was now convinced that it was not a coincidence.

Now that they had spoken up and asked him to go gamble his life with Klass at theSouth City Casino at 9 o’clock tomorrow, then they must also be fully prepared and not be afraid that they would regret after losing!

Then he should prepare in advance instead of going to the place and getting caught easily like a fish waiting to be shot in a barrel! Although Yang Ming was confident in his skills, he was in other people’s territory. They could bring out large forces and some hot weapons. He was not an invincible Iron Man, like Jetson. He would be the one to suffer.

He looked at the time. He should still have enough time to mobilize troops now.

“In short, the Nancheng Family’s background is very strong. If it is not necessary, don’t simply provoke them,” said Huang Rongjin. “As for this Klass person you were talking about, I found the person who is closest to him. This person is a rich man in Las Vegas who relied on small gambling to build his fortune in his early years. Later, he gambled more and more and became a part-time consultant for many casinos. His annual salary is more than ten digits.”

“Oh?” Yang Ming listened to Huang Rongjin’s explanation and was even more suspicious of Klass. A ten-figure salary casino consultant played with Zhang Bing for nothing? Was he too bored?
