Chapter 1739: Something Is Wrong With Yang Ming
Yang Ming’s daily life slowly became plainer and plainer. He played
fighting the landlord
with Zhao Ying at a fixed time every day and scammed others together with her. They waited for someone dumb to present themself. Slowly, the topics they conversed about with each other slowly increased.
Yang Ming decided to take Sun Jie’s advice and pursue Zhao Ying online. In the end, Yang Ming found out that this method was undeniably quite effective after trying it out. Zhao Ying was not shy online in comparison to her real life counterpart. Even if they talked about some sensitive topics, Zhao Ying would reply after contemplating for a long time. She would not change the topic like she normally did in real life.
Naturally, Yang Ming would not confess his love to Zhao Ying so quickly. Instead, he started to look into her hobbies. Yang Ming was very clear about what Zhao Ying liked. Because of that, the topics they talked about increased.
Chen Mengyan, Lin Zhiyun and Zhou Jiajia went back to their usual daily school life. Yang Ming would occasionally go back to university. However, whenever Chen Mengyan and the others were not home, Yang Ming would go meet up with Sun Jie, Xiao Qing and Wang Xiaoyan privately. If not, he would talk to Huang Lele and Zhao Ying online. Whenever he thought of Jing Xiaolu or Shen Yuxi, he would text them.


Yang Ming’s previous exciting life had suddenly turned into this dull one. Just as the ladies were enjoying the harmony that Yang Ming brought to the house, only the assassins Wang Xiaoyan and Victoria noticed something unusual about Yang Ming.
Victoria was in Wang Xiaoyan’s villa. They were not strangers and knew each other since they were in Africa. Among Yang Ming’s women, these two were the ones that understood each other the most.
When Victoria found out something unusual about Yang Ming, she immediately went to find Wang Xiaoyan. Wang Xiaoyan had also realized Yang Ming’s unusualness. After the two had a discussion and confirmed with each other, they started to think that Yang Ming was indeed acting quite strange.
It happened like this. Victoria phoned Wang Xiaoyan Ever since the two of them returned to the country, they had rarely interacted with each other. However, they still kept each other’s phone numbers.

Hello? Victoria?
Wang Xiaoyan was in doubt when she saw the caller, and picked up the phone. She could not guess why Victoria would call her.

Wang Xiaoyan? I’m Victoria.
Victoria’s voice came from the other side of the phone.
Where are you? I want to talk to you about something.

Victoria was very casual talking to Wang Xiaoyan. Her tone was not formal. Although Victoria knew about Wang Xiaoyan’s relationship with Yang Ming, she did not have to be respectful towards her. She was only respectful towards her master, Yang Ming.

Talk to me about something? What’s wrong?
Wang Xiaoyan felt a little weird after hearing Victoria’s words.
What matter is it that you wish to talk to me about?


It’s about Mr. Yang,
Victoria spoke concisely without any coating

Yang Ming?
Wang Xiaoyan asked subconsciously.



Yes.
Victoria smiled faintly,
I only call him as Mr. Yang.


Fine. Come to my house to see me.
Wang Xiaoyan knew about Victoria’s personality, and did not ask any further.
My villa is next door to Yang Ming’s. Ring the doorbell after you arrive. I’ll open the door for you.


See you in ten minutes,
Victoria said and hung up.
Wang Xiaoyan shook her head. If it wasn’t because of her trust in Victoria, she would not agree to it so quickly. Since the matter was related to Yang Ming, Wang Xiaoyan would prioritize it even more.
Victoria was on time. Ten minutes later, Wang Xiaoyan’s doorbell rang. Through the surveillance system, Wang Xiaoyan saw Victoria’s silhouette. She opened the door and invited Victoria inside.

Why did you look for me?
Wang Xiaoyan invited Victoria into the living room. She then sat down and asked.

Did you realize that Mr. Yang is acting very weird these past few days?
Victoria did not like to beat around the bush and immediately delved straight into the topic.

Weird…
Wang Xiaoyan looked at Victoria surprised after hearing her words. However, she immediately sank into deep thought. Wang Xiaoyan already had an inkling that something was not right about Yang Ming’s behavior these past few days. However, she did not think too much about it. Instead, she was enjoying the joy of being able to meet up with Yang Ming every day.
However, after hearing Victoria’s words, Wang Xiaoyan decided to think about it thoroughly. She felt that Yang Ming was really being very unusual. He wasn’t like this previously.

What do you mean?
Wang Xiaoyan asked as she looked at Victoria.



In recent days, Mr. Yang would text me every day without fail… And all he talked about was unimportant stuff, as if he was handing matters over,
said Victoria.
If it was the previous Mr. Yang, he would never do this kind of boring stuff. Did you also experience this kind of strangeness?


Hearing you say that…
Wang Xiaoyan frowned faintly,
It is indeed like what you said. Yang Ming would come accompany me almost every day. He would visit for an hour, and then immediately leave…


I feel like Yang Ming is living his life like an old man that is nearing death. He lives according to a set routine, as if he is doing some official matters. It is as though he is purposely interacting with everyone beside him before his death,
said Victoria.

Could it be… Something is going to happen?
Wang Xiaoyan thought in detail about her memories of the past few days. She had been together with Yang Ming for the past few days, yet she did not find anything strange.

With your confirmation, I can be sure that Mr. Yang should be concealing something from us,
said Victoria.
However, since I’m his slave, I have no right to interfere in his matters even if I am worried about him. I hope you can make things clear.


I will look into the matter…
Wang Xiaoyan nodded. Since she had found out about this strangeness, she would definitely try to get an answer.
So, during an afternoon when Chen Mengyan, Lin Zhiyun and Zhou Jiajia went to school, Wang Xiaoyan called Yang Ming into her villa.

Didn’t we just meet yesterday? Why were you in such a rush to call me?
Yang Ming still entered Wang Xiaoyan’s villa through the window. Although Chen Mengyan and the others had gone to school, who knows if they would suddenly come back for whatever reason.
Since Chen Mengyan already knew that Wang Xiaoyan was her neighbor, it would definitely raise Chen Mengyan’s suspicion if he were to enter through the door. Because of that, Yang Ming decided to jump through the roof.
Such good skills, and yet I’m using it to have an affair. If Fang Tian knew about this, what would he think?


After Yang Ming thought about this sentence, he found out that Victoria was also in Wang Xiaoyan’s house. After being surprised, he suddenly felt awkward,
Why are you here as well?


I came here on my own,
said Victoria.
I want to ask you some stuff. We’ll discuss it together with Wang Xiaoyan.


Ask me some stuff?
Yang Ming was stunned,
Don’t we always text each other? Just ask me if you have any questions. Do you have to discuss it with someone else?


Aright, let me say it.
Wang Xiaoyan looked at Victoria and nodded towards her. She signaled Victoria to calm down and not rush things. She then turned to Yang Ming and said,
Yang Ming, what happened to you recently?


Recently? What do you mean by recently?
Yang Ming was surprised, but still asked with an indifferent expression.

Your recent actions, why does it feel like an old person’s life? Your life has become surprisingly routine? Even when you find me… It was also very scheduled. It was basically once every two days?
Wang Xiaoyan stared at Yang Ming’s eyes and asked.

Oh?
 Is that so… Very routine?
Some cold sweat appeared on Yang Ming’s forehead.
Isn’t it good like this? Since I have nothing to do these few days, I decided to accompany you all. What’s wrong with that?


It’s precisely because there’s nothing wrong and your life suddenly became so carefree that it’s weird!
said Wang Xiaoyan.
Yang Ming, it’s impossible for you to be so relaxed. Don’t deny it. I guess I can be classified as the one who understands you the most among your women. I wouldn’t be wrong in this, right?

Although Yang Ming was reluctant to admit it, he still nodded,
Let’s say it’s like that. However, I was too exhausted previously. I’m just resting, what’s wrong with it?


Resting? Is this called resting?
Wang XIaoyan took out a list of phone numbers and placed it in front of Yang Ming.


Chapter 1740: Approaching Worries

You… How do you have my phone password?
Yang Ming was shocked when he saw Wang Xiaoyan taking out a list of his call history.

I guessed it. IT’s your birthday. I never expected my first guess to be successful.
Wang Xiaoyan shrugged,
As an assassin, you were too careless in this matter.


…
Yang Ming was a little speechless. This phone number was registered alongside Lan Ling, and the password was casually chosen. At that time, he wasn’t an assassin. Naturally, he didn’t think too much about it. And he did not change it at all afterward. He did not expect Wang Xiaoyan to take advantage of it.

Let’s have a look at your call history. Every day after you wake up, you’ll start phoning people. The people you contact are the same few people. This applies to your text messages as well. Of course, that includes me as well. I’m really impressed by you, Yang Ming. So many people, and yet you take care of everyone without missing anyone out. Aren’t you tired?
Wang Xiaoyan pointed at the few numbers on the call history.
Why does it feel like you’re not resting, and are contacting them for the sake of contacting? It feels more like an obligation.


…
Yang Ming did not expect that despite how careful he was, Wang Xiaoyan still managed to figure something out. Facing this record of his call history, Yang Ming couldn’t refute at all.
However, after he heard Wang Xiaoyan’s suspicions and analysis, Yang Ming finally understood what he had overlooked. He had presented himself too peacefully with a fixed routine, which caused Wang Xiaoyan and Victoria to be suspicious.

Yang Ming, what happened?
Seeing how Yang Ming remained silent. Wang Xiaoyan was shocked. This meant that Yang Ming had acquiesced to her previous words. This meant that something was about to happen!
The more Wang Xiaoyan thought about it, the more she felt that Yang Ming was seemingly handing things over as though he were about to die. Although Wang Xiaoyan was always confident in Yang Ming, she couldn’t help but start to worry about him.
Just like last time, when he went to the Lancer Family alone to save her father, he was still very confident and joked around before he left. However, this time, Yang Ming had assumed this attitude. This meant that it was not a small matter.
Yang Ming remained silent for a moment, and started calculating the pros and cons in his heart. Finally, he sighed and said,
Fine. Since you both have guessed it, then I won’t hide it anymore. Victoria and you are not outsiders, so there’s no problem with me telling you two. However, everything I say today remains here. Don’t tell anyone else.

Wang Xiaoyan was anxious when she saw Yang Ming finally admitting to it.

Actually, I have a position in the government.
Yang Ming did not wait for Wang Xiaoyan and Victoria to respond and continued saying,
There’s this mysterious department called the Supernatural Investigation Bureau. It’s something like a special agent agency. And I am one of its members…


Supernatural Investigation Bureau?
Wang Xiaoyan repeated this name. She felt like she had heard it somewhere before. With how efficient her assassin’s intel was, it wasn’t anything strange for her to have heard of this department before.

In this department, the duties we perform are quite mysterious and dangerous. Under normal circumstances, whenever something supernatural happens and can’t be solved, we would be responsible for handling it.
Yang Ming continued saying,
As for me, I am going to carry out a mission…

Yang Ming was always confident when doing anything. Even if he did not have absolute confidence, he still had the confidence to try. Consequently, every time Yang Ming went to carry out a mission or save someone, he was always full of confidence. This time, however, Yang Ming had no confidence at all.
Yang Ming had special abilities, and he was the successor to the King of Assassins. Yang Ming had far more advantages compared to normal people. However, Yang Ming’s enemy this time was not ordinary. The enemy was the mysterious and sinister Elder You!
He was not only proficient in using voodoo, but he had also managed to learn sinister arts. Even authentic people from Miaojiang’s Miao Village were not Elder Miao’s opponent. This caused Yang Ming to have less confidence.
Since Elder You could survive Lan Ling’s Miao Village’s attacks and even cause them mass destruction and death in return Yang Ming had no confidence at all.
However, regardless if Yang Ming was confident or not, he had to go this time! No matter if it was for official or private matters, he had to do it. Elder You was originally his opponent to begin with. Even if he did not meet him now, he still had to deal with him in the future.
Besides, a dignified gentleman had to be determined about the things he needed to do. Since he had entered the Supernatural Investigation Bureau for such a long time, he naturally should contribute some efforts to the country. After Yang Ming contemplated, he decided to just accept it.
However, Yang Ming had no confidence that he could even come back safely this time. This caused Yang Ming to appreciate his peaceful life even more. He tried his best to accompany his lovers, and enjoy this rare peace and harmony.
Maybe this time, I won’t come back.
 Although this thought was very disheartening, he had to make preparations beforehand.

Is it very dangerous?
Wang Xiaoyan immediately understood what Yang Ming said. She couldn’t hold back her voice and asked.

En …

 Yang Ming nodded,
To be honest, I don’t have any confidence at all.

Wang Xiaoyan became more anxious after hearing Yang Ming’s words,
Can’t you not go?

Yang Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head,
I have already promised someone.


Yang Ming…
Wang Xiaoyan hugged Yang Ming and entered his embrace. Her tears started to fall uncontrollably. Wang Xiaoyan was a very strong person, and she had not shed tears for a very long time. However, this time, she finally couldn’t hold back her tears anymore.
She understood what Yang Ming meant… She knew about Yang Ming’s strength. Since even Yang Ming had no confidence, it was apparent how hard this mission was.
Wang Xiaoyan was clear that an assassin only lived in the present and did not expect much for the future. However, only normal assassins had this mindset. For someone standing at the peak of the assassin world, even if he failed his mission, he would be able to retreat unharmed. At least, he would not receive any injuries on the spot.

If you fail this mission, can you run away?
Wang Xiaoyan asked.

Of course!
Yang Ming lightly caressed Wang Xiaoyan’s forehead and said,
Do you think that I am an idiot? That I would rush towards death even if I knew about the danger?

However, Yang Ming had one sentence which he did not say but muttered in his heart. I’m just afraid that I won’t be able to escape by then…


Thank god…
Wang Xiaoyan let out a sigh of relief,
Then you must be careful.


I will. I only have one life, so of course I will cherish it,
Yang Ming smiled and comforted her.

Do you need my help?
Wang Xiaoyan asked subconsciously. However, after she finished asking, she smiled bitterly in her heart. Yang Ming had no confidence already. She would just trouble him if she were to go along.

No need…
Yang Ming shook his head.
Don’t worry too much. It’s actually nothing. You and I have faced danger countless times, and managed to come back safely every time.


En…

 Wang Xiaoyan nodded obediently.
However, Victoria was still frowning while sitting at the side. Victoria automatically filtered out Yang Ming’s words of comfort. She grew up in the face of danger, and deeply knew that there were some situations where you could not escape even if you wanted to… There were many occasions where one could not get out once they stepped inside…
It was just like fighting a life and death match in a boxing ring. After entering the ring, there was no way to escape. Yang Ming’s words were just used to comfort Wang Xiaoyan. Because of love, Wang Xiaoyan blindly believed Yang Ming and did not doubt him. Otherwise, with Wang Xiaoyan’s sensitivity, it wouldn’t be hard for her to understand this.
However, Victoria did not expose anything because some things don’t have to be said too clearly. It would happen if it was meant to. She had no way to stop it.
Yang Ming gestured with his hands towards Victoria, and walked down the stairs while hugging Wang Xiaoyan. Victoria looked at Yang Ming, and did not react at all. Instead, she was thinking about something else…
