Chapter 1857: Subordinate’s Growth
“What’s wrong? Yang Ming?” Huang Rongjin noticed Yang Ming’s doubtful tone and asked.
“I’m fine. Thank you Second Brother.” Yang Ming said, “I will contact you if something happens.”
“Okay, call again if you have any questions.” Although Huang Rongjin was a little puzzled about why Yang Ming asked about these things, he didn’t ask much. Yang Ming must have a reason for asking about these things, but the Huang Family couldn’t do much to help Yang Ming. After all, everyone’s strength wasn’t equal and the gap was too big. Huang Rongjin could only do his best to provide Yang Ming with some help.
After he hung up Huang Rongjin’s call, Yang Ming directly called Golden Bull.
“Butler Jing? I’m Yang Ming.” Golden Bull was still training in the Charles family. Yang Ming planned to send him to Africa after a while to be fully responsible for the assassin group.
“Boss!” exclaimed Golden Bull once he heardYang Ming’s calm voice.
“I’m going to assign a task to you. You must do it well.” Yang Ming commanded. It was about tomorrow’s success or failure. Yang Ming could not be sloppy.
It would be fine if the other party didn’t use any tricks and just obediently released the hostage after Yang Ming won. But if they didn’t release the hostage and caused more trouble, then Yang Ming wouldn’t be polite anymore.
“Yes, boss. Golden Bull is always at your disposal!” said Golden Bull.
“You should go and arrange your manpower, then fly to Las Vegas via a special plane…” Yang Ming made a series of arrangements for Golden Bull.
“Rest assured, Boss. I promise to complete the task,” Golden Bull promised after he wrote down every one of Yang Ming’s orders.
“En, I’m confident in the way you do things.” Yang Ming attached great importance to Golden Bull. Otherwise, Golden Bull wouldn’t be placed in such an important position to focus on training.
Golden Bull was not only a powerful assassin, but also a smart manager. This was Yang Ming’s ultimate purpose. It was impossible for Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan to manage the assassin group’s affairs all their lives. When the island in Africa was developed and everything here was done, it would be time for Yang Ming to retire.
Now that Yang Ming knew that these people had ulterior motives, he would naturally not be stupid enough to go alone and gamble with them. Although Yang Ming was awesome, he couldn’t defeat a group of people with guns and cannons!
Yang Ming was fearless in China because China had some of the strictest gun laws in the world. But the United States was different. There were countless guns among the citizens, let alone casinos that were deeply involved with the underworld. How could there not be any guns?
Although Golden Bull had unrelentingly organized a team to rush to Las Vegas after he hung up on Yang Ming’s call, they only arrived in the early hours of the morning the next day.
After Golden Bull arrived, he was afraid to disturb Yang Ming’s rest, so he just sent Yang Ming a text message. Then, he arranged his men to act according to Yang Ming’s commands. Yang Ming had already made everything clear before, and Golden Bull also understood Yang Ming’s intention. The night was quiet. It was just right for Golden Bull to lay low and wait.
Naturally, Yang Ming wasn’t sleeping very well here. After seeing Golden Bull’s text message, Yang Ming immediately called him, “Golden Bull, have you arrived?”
“Yes, boss. We are rushing to the South City Casino. Some brothers are already stationed outside the casino, some brothers are pretending to be gamblers and some brothers are mingling around in the casino. We are ready to follow Brother Yang’s instructions!” said Golden Bull.
“En, I can rest assured with this arrangement.” Yang Ming was very satisfied with Golden Bull’s arrangement. It seemed that Golden Bull was growing and had matured a lot without Yang Ming realizing. He had undergone a qualitative change from that small assassin in a small assassin group in Song Jiang.
“Captain Wang Peng is responsible for the operations outside the casino. The men outside are all professional mercenaries, while everyone inside the casino are professional assassins. They are my men,” said Golden Bull. “You can also directly contact Wang Peng, Brother Yang.”
“Not bad!” Yang Ming did not expect that Golden Bull had been so careful with the arrangement. Wang Peng’s men were professional mercenaries. These people were well-trained at integrated operations to quickly destroy the enemy. Golden Bull’s men were good at assassination. They were hidden in all corners of the casino, so they could take down suspicious targets very easily.
“Thank you for your praise!” Golden Bull was embarrassed after being praised by Yang Ming, so he chuckled twice.
“I have Wang Peng’s contact number. You should be vigilant according to my arrangements. I will contact you at any time.” said Yang Ming.
“Yes, boss,” said Golden Bull.
Yang Ming was very pleased after hanging up the phone. My men have gradually grown up, and I will gradually let them go to let them continue to work boldly.
He got up, cleaned up, and took a bath. Yang Ming looked at his watch. It was already past five in the morning.
Yang Ming was not worried at all about whether the other party would play any tricks during today’s gambling. Yang Ming did not have the nervousness and excitement of others before the game.
I already know that I will win. What is there to be excited about?
The hotel’s restaurant only opened at six o’clock. Yang Ming lay in bed and watched TV for a while. After seeing that it was almost time, he exited the room and went downstairs for breakfast.
Unexpectedly, he saw Batterton standing respectfully not far from his room. When he saw Yang Ming coming out of the room, he quickly said, “Mr. Yang, good morning!”
“Oh?” Yang Ming was stunned. He did not expect that Buatterton would be waiting nearby the room. It seemed like he had been here for some time. The reason why he stood there was to avoid eavesdropping on the conversation within the room. It seemed that Batterton had been professionally trained and he was probably like this to other members of the Douglas Family as well.
“Mr. Yang, the restaurant has specially prepared breakfast for you. May I ask if you want it sent to the room, or do you want to go to the restaurant lounge?” Batterton asked carefully.
“Oh, I’ll go there and eat.” Yang Ming nodded. “Wait for me to see if my friend is up.”
“Okay, Mr. Yang.” Batterton didn’t know how Yang Ming and Wang Mei were related. But they did not look like lovers, so they should be good friends.
Yang Ming knocked on the door of Room 2 next door. Soon, Wang Mei’s voice was heard, “Who is it?”
“It’s me, Yang Ming,” said Yang Ming. “Are you awake? Let’s go to the restaurant for breakfast?”
The room’s door opened with a click. Wang Mei was already dressed, but her eyes were a little red. It seemed like she didn’t sleep well last night. She couldn’t sleep well until Zhang Bin returned safely, so she woke up early.
“En, let’s go,” Wang Mei nodded. “But I have no appetite…”
“Hehe, eat a little. Rest assured, today I promise that Zhang Bin and Uncle Zhang will return safely!” Yang Ming smiled and said.
“En…” Wang Mei still trusted Yang Ming’s ability. When in Macau, Yang Ming demonstrated extraordinary powers. Wasn’t the man who kept bothering me easily settled by Yang Ming?!
Wang Mei was surprised at Batterton’s diligence in leading the way. With Batterton’s identity, even if Yang Ming knew his boss, there was no need for him to do this so early in the morning!
Wang Mei increasingly felt the mystery and power behindYang Ming. It seemed that there was no one he didn’t know nor anything that he couldn’t settle at all.
Batterton personally brought Yang Ming and Wang Mei to the hotel’s VIP restaurant. It was a separate private room with a bathroom, a TV, some morning newspapers and magazines, and bright floor-to-ceiling windows that showed the morning view outside.
“Mr. Yang, please take a look. This is the breakfast menu. Is there anything you want to eat? We will prepare it for you immediately.” Batterton passed a beautiful menu to Yang Ming. At the same time, he gave Wang Mei another copy, “Miss Wang, please.”
Yang Ming took a brief look at the dishes on the menu. Yang Ming didn’t have any diet restrictions, but he didn’t particularly like Western food, so he said, “There’s too much here. Just serve the first half.”
It was the same for Wang Mei. As a Chinese, she didn’t particularly like to eat Western food, so she nodded, “I’m fine with anything.”
“It’s not too much. Mr. Yang, you can eat selectively!” Batterton said quickly.
“Oh, alright. Make the servings smaller.” Yang Ming waved his hand to indicate that Batterton could go and prepare.
“Okay, Mr. Yang.” Batterton trotted out of the private room.
Chapter 1858: Misleading
“Brother Yang, this boss is too attentive…” Wang Mei said carefully, wondering if Yang Ming would think that she talked too much.
“Hehe, he is afraid to lose his job, so he is naturally attentive.” Even if Yang Ming did not have a good impression of Wang Mei and thought that she was a superficial woman, Zhang Bing liked her very much. So, Yang Ming could only accept her. He tried to answer her questions with care, so he didn’t make things awkward and harder for Zhang Bin.
“Brother Yang, you are amazing!” admired Wang Mei.
Yang Ming frowned. What does Wang Mei mean? But he was relieved upon seeing that Wang Mei’s gaze was clear and had no ulterior meaning. He didn’t want Wang Mei to be half-hearted after following Zhang Bing.
“It is really a blessing for my Zhang Bing to follow Brother Yang,” continued Wang Mei.
“Zhang Bing is a good person. Although he has some minor flaws, he is generally great.” Yang Ming said, “As long as I live, I will always support him.”
“Brother Yang is joking…” Wang Mei was stunned, “What are you talking about being alive or not? We are all about the same age. If we are to die, we’ll die around the same time…”
“Hehe…” Yang Ming didn’t say much. Yang Ming was just a little emotional. It was inappropriate to explain his trip to Yunnan to Wang Mei.
Soon after, Batterton personally started serving the food to Yang Ming’s private room. Obviously, the raw materials were all prepared in advance; they just needed to be cooked.
Although Yang Ming instructed Batterton to make the breakfast portions smaller, it seemed that he did not do so. The portions were still not small, or maybe the previous portions were even larger.
“Mr. Yang, Miss Wang, please enjoy your breakfast. I won’t bother you anymore. If you need me, call me at any time. I’ll be at the door!” Batterton set the contents of the dining cart on the table one by one, and then bowed and backed off.
“Just eat whatever you want.” Yang Ming pointed to the table and said to Wang Mei, “I’ll go to the South City Casino in a moment. Just wait for me at the hotel. Don’t go out and run around.”
“En.” Wang Mei nodded, and planned to do as Yang Ming said. Although she was worried about Zhang Bing’s situation, Yang Ming could go by himself.
Not long after finishing their breakfast, Wang Mei’s cell phone rang. Wang Mei said, “It’s the temporary phone number from the Jewelry Exhibition team. Maybe it’s from the casino!”
People at the South City Casino had always contacted Wang Mei through this phone.
“Answer it. If it’s someone from the casino, pass it to me.” Yang Ming nodded to Wang Mei.
“Hello?” Wang Mei answered the call.
“Miss Wang? I’m Smith. Is the gentleman who came to the casino yesterday there?” Smith’s voice was heard from the phone. The dining room was quiet, so Yang Ming heard it clearly.
“Oh, wait a minute,” said Wang Mei as she passed the phone to Yang Ming.
“Hello, Smith?” Yang Ming answered when he took the phone.
“Yes, just to remind you, don’t forget to come to the casino at nine o’clock. If you’re not coming, just let me know,” said Smith.
“Relax, I will be there on time. But let me tell you in advance. You should bring my friends with you. I will only bet with Klass if I see them,” said Yang Ming.
“This is no problem. You can see them when you come,” said Smith. Yang Ming’s request was reasonable. If Yang Ming couldn’t see his friends, why would he gamble with them? If you gamble without letting them see the bet, where is the spirit of gambling?
“Well, see you later,” said Yang Ming plainly.
In fact, when Yang Ming returned to the hotel yesterday, he noticed that someone was following him. Yang Ming didn’t care about it and was not afraid of them.
Since they could contact him through Wang Mei, they must also know that he was staying at the Douglas Vast Hotel. This was no secret, so Yang Ming just let them follow. Yang Ming did not get the taxi driver to change the route. Yang Ming went straight back to the room once he arrived at the hotel.
They probably wanted to come and see if Yang Ming went to contact some backup or to meet someone. They followed him to the hotel and stayed at the hotel entrance to see if he would come out to contact anyone. But when he didn’t, they were relieved.
They thought that Yang Ming was really here today to take part in the contest, not to engage in any conspiracy. It was for this reason that Smith and Klass brought along Zhang Bing and Zhang Jiefang to the casino so forthrightly.
Otherwise, they would be afraid that Yang Ming would find some strong support to forcefully take these two men away from the casino.
After having breakfast, Yang Ming looked at the time. It was past seven o’clock, and there was just a bit more than an hour to go to the agreed nine o’clock. So after Yang Ming asked Wang Mei to return to the room, he left the hotel and stopped a taxi to head towards the South City Casino.
After arriving at the South City Casino, Yang Ming saw a couple at a small plaza not far from the casino through his peripheral vision. The young man was dressed in a fashionable dress and sunglasses, drinking juice, accompanying and acting very much in love with a stylish girl. Seeing Yang Ming getting off the taxi, the fashionable man slightly shook the juice box in his hand.
Yang Ming brushed his hair without expression to indicate that he had seen the fashionable guy. However, Yang Ming’s action was ordinary. Many people who got off the taxi would habitually adjust their hair.
The young fashionable man was naturally Wang Peng, and the person next to him was probably his helper. Yang Ming didn’t know her. Maybe Wang Peng had gotten her while he was in Africa.
Yang Ming had previously suggested that they include some female members so that they could be arranged to protect Chen Mengyan and others. However, after Victoria’s emergence of Victoria, Yang Ming used her and never asked about female members again.
Yang Ming quickly walked into the South City Casino. Someone among Smith’s men saw him at the entrance, and walked over and said, “Sir, Mr. Smith is waiting in the office.”
Yang Ming nodded expressionlessly. He followed the man across yesterday’s corridor to the security manager Smith’s office.
“Dang dang dang-“ Smith’s men knocked on the door, and Smith’s voice was heard, “Come in!”
The man opened the door and respectfully said, “Mr. Smith, your guest has arrived.”
“Okay, you can go and continue your work.” Smith waved and motioned for him to leave.
Yang Ming walked into the office and saw Smith, as well as Klass from yesterday.
“What about my friends?” Yang Ming didn’t say hello to them, but directly asked where Zhang Bing and Zhang Jiefang were.
Smith and Klass didn’t mind either. Smith said, “Your friends are upstairs. You will see them when you go up.”
“Go up? Are we not gambling here?” asked Yang Ming plainly.
“Of course we are gambling at the top VIP room upstairs. It’s so small here. How can we gamble?” Smith laughed and said.
“Upstairs? Top VIP room?” Yang Ming frowned. “Is it only just us?”
“Yes.” Smith nodded.
“Sorry, I can’t accept it.” Yang Ming shook his head. “There are no other guests around the top VIP room upstairs. They are all your people. I have reasons to suspect that your motives are impure.”
Smith was a little stunned. But what Yang Ming said was true. This casino was his territory, and Yang Ming would be alone in the VIP room upstairs. So Yang Ming’s worries were normal. If he was in the same position, he would think like this too.
However, Smith was not the decision-maker. He could only look to Klass for help.
