“Perhaps the person behind-the-scenes is not against you, but me.” During this period, various forces had emerged here at Yang Ming’s side, and he was somewhat nervous.
“They are targeting you? What do you mean?” Sun Jie curiously turned to look at Yang Ming.
“Old San said that the employer said they had to assassinate you in the Nightless Club or the Tavern Heaven on Earth. So, in other words, if something happened to you in these two places, then who is your father going to blame?” Yang Ming turned his head, looked at Sun Jie, and said faintly.
When Sun Jie heard Yang Ming’s words, she suddenly looked up at him in shock. “You mean, these two places are your territory. If something happens to me here, then…”
Yang Ming nodded. “Yes, this way, my relationship with the Sun Family will justifiably end. No matter how good the relationship is between the two of us, if something happens to you in my territory, Father Sun won’t be the same as before. Then, the forces of Donghai and Song Jiang will be cracked. Perhaps because of this, the two gangs will fight badly.”
Yang Ming’s analysis was indeed very reasonable. Even though Sun Jie was so quick-witted, she also fell behind. “Of course, it may be the enemy of our family who wants to provoke hatred between us, and attack using the strength of others!”
“Naturally, this is also a possibility.” Yang Ming laughed after listening. “This person’s intentions cannot be said to be insidious. If something really happens to you, even if your father has doubts, he will probably blame it on me. With this pain of losing a loved one, people tend to lose their minds.”
Sun Jie thought deeply. “Yes, this person is using this mentality. Even if there is doubt, it will be ignored in grief.”
“Why don’t you communicate this with your dad?” Yang Ming felt that this situation was a little bit different, so he suggested it to Sun Jie.
“Naturally, I have to say it. I will call my dad now.” Sun Jie said, “Because I also think that this thing is mostly targeted at my family… because your identity is still in a confidential state. Most of the people who know your identity are close friends around you… So, the possibility that they are targeting you is relatively small.
“But I am different. Even if the person behind-the-scenes does not know your identity, he can also use this strategy. Because clearly, the Nightless Club and the Tavern Heaven on Earth belong to Bao Sanli’s business. Provoking the conflict between our family and Bao Sanli can also achieve this person’s purpose.”
After listening to Sun Jie, Yang Ming nodded. Indeed, Sun Jie said something logical. He didn’t offend anyone in the underworld. According to Yang Ming, these three people did not look like his former enemies.
The level of these three people was really too pitiful. Besides the death warrior, the other enemies were basically clarified. Moreover, these three people were obviously not in the same grade as that death warrior.
Therefore, this matter was more likely an underworld dispute. The method used was also the method used by people in the underworld – hiring assassins.
Sun Jie called Sun Hongjun and informed him about what happened just now. Naturally, Yang Ming’s process of retaliating against the people was said too. Sun Hongjun felt very fortunate, and it seemed that he did not settle on Yang Ming in vain. He insisted that Sun Jie pass the phone to Yang Ming; he wanted to talk to Yang Ming.
“Hello? Uncle Sun.” Yang Ming picked up the phone.
“Yang Ming, I will investigate this matter carefully. However, during the investigation period, you and Little Jie should pay more attention to safety. If there is nothing, don’t go out.” Sun Hongjun informed.
“Don’t worry, Uncle Sun. I will find someone to protect Little Jie,” Yang Ming said. “You can rest assured.”
After this incident, Yang Ming naturally did not dare to take it lightly and was ready to find a good bodyguard for Sun Jie from among Li Qiang’s men. Originally, Yang Ming wanted to find a woman to be Sun Jie’s bodyguard, but he had no suitable candidates.
It seemed that in the future, Li Qiang really had to train a group of female assassins.
Hanging up the phone, Yang Ming drove to the development zone where Sun Jie lived.
“Don’t go out to socialize during this time. I may have to go to Africa in a few days. I won’t be able to protect you at all times, but I will send a good person to you as a bodyguard,” said Yang Ming.
“There’s no need, right? We also have bodyguards in our family.” Sun Jie felt that Yang Ming was making a small matter big, but she was still somewhat happy in her heart. After all, Yang Ming’s nervous look was not fake.
“It’s not the same.” Yang Ming shook his head and said, “My people were all trained by me.”
Sun Jie moved her mouth and looked a little surprised. She wanted to say something, but she didn’t say it in the end. She also knew that if Yang Ming’s secret were really involved, Yang Ming wouldn’t say anything to her, and he would definitely use some excuse, such as being his woman, to elude her.
The formidable strength demonstrated by Yang Ming made Sun Jie more and more amazed. Initially, Sun Jie thought that Yang Ming was just a small gangster who was better at fighting. Although he had the ability, there was still a certain gap with the truly strong characters.
But because of today’s matter, Sun Jie had completely changed her view of Yang Ming! Sun Jie was very impressed with Yang Ming’s agility and calmness during the incident.
Especially when he found out that someone aimed a gun at her, Yang Ming was able to react quickly, and kill the gangster who rushed into the room. Then, he took the gun and stopped the person who came in behind.
This series of actions was so skillful that she saw no trace of sloppiness with it. Steady, violent, and accurate – these were Sun Jie’s three words to describe Yang Ming. Later, what surprised her was that Yang Ming seemed to be very proficient in his use of a gun!
Although Sun Jie also used guns before, there were only a few places where guns could be used domestically. Most of the fights between gangs used cold weapons 1 while most of the hot weapons 2 were only used to scare people.
Although Yang Ming was already at the peak of Song Jiang’s power, after all, he was still a newcomer. Sun Jie did not believe that Yang Ming used guns a lot, but now, it seemed that this was not the case.
When Yang Ming used the gun, he used it directly without studying it. If he were not familiar with a gun, he would not use it with ease.
What really made Sun Jie feel unfathomable was that Yang Ming could shoot Old San and the Boss through the door panel! This was not just a matter of gun skills, but… Sun Jie thought that Yang Ming must have some specific methods, such as listening to sounds. She never thought that Yang Ming was a person with special abilities.
Everything Yang Ming showed made Sun Jie very confused. Sun Jie couldn’t figure out whether Yang Ming was a student or something else… However, if Yang Ming showed these strengths now, it was by no accident that he could achieve success.
The car passed through the shanty town near the development zone, which was the only way to the development zone.
“Is this the land that your company wants to develop?” Sun Jie looked out the window at the shanty town, which was a far cry from the development zone, and asked.
” En , according to Dekang Real Estate’s original plan, this will be developed into a high-end villa area,” answered Yang Ming as he nodded.
“Wei Dekang was living well. How did he suddenly die?” Sun Jie glanced at Yang Ming.
“Who knows? Didn’t they say that he was gay and lovesick?” Yang Ming shrugged and replied.
“Do you believe it?” Sun Jie looked at Yang Ming indifferently.
This gaze creeped Yang Ming out. “What do you want to say?”
“Nothing.” Sun Jie shook her head. There were some things that she suspected, but she didn’t want to say it. After all, it involved some privacy.
“In fact, there is nothing. Wei Dekang offended me.” There were some things that Yang Ming did not need to hide from Sun Jie. The hands of the underworld’s Sun Hongjun were certainly not very clean. It was normal to have blood on his hands. Yang Ming had murdered people in front of Sun Jie before, so he did not care about these small things.
Although Yang Ming couldn’t tell Sun Jie about his special abilities and his identity as an assassin, he really didn’t need to hide anything else from her.

“I guessed it.” Sun Jie said faintly, “But you did it flawlessly. It’s worthy of praise. Even I am only just suspicious. There is no evidence of correlation.”
“Originally, the company was bought via normal channels. It is normal to have no evidence.” Yang Ming said with a smile, “When I acquired Wang’s Century Xiongfeng Group, they had unused land in West Star Mountain. If the shanty town development is successful, we can start the development plan in West Star Mountain.”
“The land in West Star Mountain is actually yours?” Sun Jie looked up at Yang Ming, baffled.
“Yeah, what’s wrong?” Yang Ming wondered why Sun Jie had such a reaction.
“My company, a while ago, made a proposal for the construction of a large resort leisure club. The company’s top management agreed that it should be located at West Star Mountain, but West Star Mountain had a whole piece of land that was bought. The company had contacted the owner of the land, but was rejected,” said Sun Jie. “The plan later had to be archived.”
“Inquire? When did you inquire?” Yang Ming wondered. Logically, my company had not yet advanced the business plan for a while, and that piece of West Star Mountain land is idle. It would be better to sell it first. If there are buyers who take the initiative to come to the door, there shouldn’t be any direct rejection. At least, there should be a discussion about the price.
Besides, this is such an important thing. There is no reason not to ask for my opinions. Whether it is Guo Jianchao or Hou Zhenhan, they would have had to ask me.
“This was a year ago.” Sun Jie said, “The specifics were managed by the business department below, so I did not ask.”
“That’s right.” Yang Ming said after listening, “At that time, Wang’s Century Xiongfeng Group had not yet merged into Ming Yang. Wang Xifan was investigated because of the smuggling case. Naturally, there was no time to look into the land’s matter.”
“It turned out to be this case.” Sun Jie said, “The land of West Star Mountain is a strategic place. Don’t look at how quiet it is now. If a resort club is built, it will be first-class in the province. After all, it’s a unique location. It is unmatched by other places. There are mountains in front, a sea behind, and a river on the left. Constructing a resort club in this kind of environment is perfect.”
“If you are interested, we can develop it together.” Yang Ming did not know as much as Sun Jie, and she seemed to be destined to be his woman in his eyes. So, giving the advantage of this good thing to Sun Jie was equal to giving an advantage to himself.
“Okay.” Sun Jie did not refuse. With Yang Ming, she was always not polite. This guy not only took her first time but also continued to shamelessly take her second time, her third time… until the Nth time.
Therefore, Sun Jie boldly took this advantage.
“Wait for my people to come up with a proposal. We are responsible for the construction; you give out the land. The shares will be split in half,” said Sun Jie.
“Okay. Anything is fine.” Yang Ming said indifferently.
“Is it also fine not to give you any shares?” Sun Jie saw Yang Ming’s indifferent look and was annoyed.
“As long as you are given to me, for what purpose do I need those shares?” said Yang Ming justifiably.
“In your dreams.” Sun Jie was angry and amused at the same time. “So your appetite has gotten bigger, and you are eyeing the entire Sun Family business?”
“I don’t lack money.” Yang Ming smiled and said, “Actually, I am more interested in you than the entire Sun Family.”
“Really? I don’t believe it.” Sun Jie snorted. Although she also knew that Yang Ming was rich, who wouldn’t want to have more money? When all the businesses of the Sun Family were added up, it was no less than Yang Ming’s money.
Of course, Sun Jie naturally wouldn’t think of Yang Ming’s income as an assassin. If she knew, she would understand that Yang Ming was telling the truth. At present, Yang Ming was really not interested in that little bit of money.
Naturally, Yang Ming couldn’t let this be revealed to Sun Jie, so he just smiled faintly.
Just after such a thing, Yang Ming and Sun Jie did not wait for dinner, and hurriedly rushed back. Nearing Sun Jie’s house, Yang Ming’s stomach called out. Only then did he remember that they had not eaten yet.
“Are you hungry?” Yang Ming asked Sun Jie.
“At first, I wasn’t hungry, but I’m a bit hungry after you brought it up.” Sun Jie smiled and said, “Why don’t we go find a place to eat something?”
Sometimes, people are like this. If others don’t say anything, they wouldn’t think of it. If Yang Ming didn’t mention food, Sun Jie would naturally not feel hungry. However, when Yang Ming brought it up, Sun Jie naturally remembered that she did not eat at night.
“What’s delicious nearby?” asked Yang Ming.
“There is nothing nearby. The wealthy class lives here, and there are no snack bars close by. Moreover, with the prices here, the snack bars can’t afford the rent.” Sun Jie waved her hand and said helplessly, “Almost every family has a housekeeper who cooks full-time. Even if they go out to eat, they will go to luxury restaurants. They won’t go to the snack bars.”
Yang Ming looked around, and indeed, as Sun Jie said, no snacks were nearby. There were only several commercial shops, such as pharmacies, small supermarkets, and professional laundries. There were no snack bars.
No matter how wealthy, it was impossible not to buy medicines or some necessities of life. Some furs and the like that could not be washed at home could only be sent to the laundry. However, snack bars were different. There was a full-time housekeeper at home. If they go out, they will drive to a luxury restaurant. So the snack bar was superfluous. It wouldn’t make money here.
“Don’t you have a full-time housekeeper at home?” asked Yang Ming.
“I live alone. What is the need for a full-time housekeeper?” Sun Jie said with a helpless smile, “I simply have my meals near the company every day, or eat in the cafeteria at school. How would I hire a housekeeper for my home?”
“I see…” Yang Ming thought for a moment and said, “Right, my eldest sister, Yang Li, is next to your house. She has a housekeeper. Let her housekeeper make a few dishes and send it over.”
“You are really thick-skinned. You go and trouble people. With this effort, it is better to drive elsewhere to eat.” Sun Jie did not want to trouble others; she felt that it was inappropriate.
“It’s nothing,” Yang Ming didn’t care much. After all, his Uncle’s family had received too many benefits from him. Yang Ming picked up the phone and called Yang Li, “Big sister, how is it? Have you left the police station?”
In addition to Yang Ming and Sun Jie, other people that were present were asked to the police station to make a statement. However, when Chen Fei summed up the transcripts, anything that involved Yang Ming was kept secret. Yang Ming’s current status was not the same, so everything about Yang Ming could not be made public.
Because the case was very obvious – these three guys held guns, killed people, and kept hostages, there was no need to interrogate much. The guy named Old San had admitted all of it. Anyway, since Old San had already confessed, now he was very open and answered what was asked.
Yang Li was naturally allowed to leave after being asked a few questions.
“Yang Ming, I left. How are you? Why did I not see you?” Yang Li said with some concern, “But don’t worry. The policeman handling the case had already said that your behavior is courageous and was justified as self-defense. The other people had guns. Whatever you did wasn’t excessive.”
“I’m fine.” After the relationship between Yang Ming and Yang Li was mended, Yang Li was a sister who was very good at being a sister. She was very concerned about Yang Ming. “I am going to Little Jie’s home now, and we haven’t eaten yet. We are going to go to your house for dinner!”
“Little Jie?” Yang Li apparently was puzzled by Yang Ming calling Sun Jie as Little Jie. She wondered about Yang Ming’s relationship with Sun Jie, but she said, “You’re welcome. I’ll be home soon. You wait for me at my doorstep. It’s fine if you want to go in first. You are not an outsider anyway!”
“That’s fine. We will wait for you at the door. It is not cold in the car anyway. If we go in, your family will be in doubt,” said Yang Ming.
“That is true. I told my mom that I was eating with Sister Sun Jie. If you all go back first, she would ask.” Yang Li said, “Right. Yang Ming, are you planning not to tell Second Uncle and the rest about what happened just now?”
” En , you should also not tell.” Yang Ming didn’t want his family to worry.
“Alright. I’ll listen to you.” Yang Li had been listening to Yang Ming since she was rescued by him. Yang Li, who had experienced life and death the last time, did not show much fear in the face of danger this time.
