Yang Ming bought a newspaper on the roadside and held it in his hand so that he looked more like a local – a white-collared worker working in a company.
Yang Ming came into the vicinity of the gambling seminar venue according to the address provided in the “Australian Street Shopping” magazine. This place was a small private club. When Yang Ming got in, he was stopped by the security guard at the door. “Hello, sir. Please show me the invitation card.”
Yang Ming was stunned. He didn’t expect that he needed an invitation card to enter here. It seemed that entering this place required a strict investigation. Yang Ming smiled in pleasantry. “I don’t have an invitation card. I thought it is open to the public.”
“I’m sorry sir. You can’t enter without an invitation.” The security politely reached out his hand and stopped it in front of Yang Ming.
“Then… It is alright. It’s nothing.” Yang Ming shook his head in an indifferent manner and turned away from the clubhouse.
The security guards didn’t care too much. Quite a number of people like Yang Ming approached every day. It wasn’t strange to the security guards at all.
However, Yang Ming did not leave immediately, but after turning around and going far away, he returned. This time he did not go to the front door of the clubhouse, but rather he strolled around the clubhouse.
There was a tall fence around the clubhouse. It could be seen that surveillance cameras were in operation on top of the fence. Although Yang Ming could climb over it, he would definitely be recorded by the cameras.
In other words, the security here was very strict. If someone wanted to enter here, aside from an invitation, the person could only break in the place. It was obviously unwise to carry out an assassination here.
Firstly, entering this place proved to be challenging. If there was an invitation, then one could walk in openly. If someone were to break in, it wouldn’t be like this scene now. Those security guards would have acted long ago.
Secondly, even if someone entered here and carried out the assassination successfully, it was difficult to escape. But if the first option was possible, it wasn’t entirely impossible.
However, the key issue was that Yang Ming didn’t think that the assassin could get the invitation here! The reason was very simple. Like Yang Ming, he only knew the location of the assassination target after reading the magazine today. It was impossible to prepare the invitation here in advance. Now, even if he were to find some way to forge an invitation, the timing was basically too late.
Therefore, that person was likely to have left the door in annoyance just like Yang Ming, or he hadn’t come yet!
Thinking of this, Yang Ming decided to wait at the entrance of the club for a while. If Yang Ming could encounter the killer, then it would be better.
However, to be on the safe side, Yang Ming used special ability to look around the interior of the clubhouse. Apart from the security guards, all the other people were gathered in a conference room. They seemed to know each other as they were hyped in the discussion. It could be concluded that the assassin wasn’t among them. Yang Ming slightly felt at ease in his heart.
However, Yang Ming waited for nearly twenty minutes here. No other people approached the clubhouse. Yang Ming could not help but be disappointed. But logically, the assassin shouldn’t be here yet. When Yang Ming just came, the seminar had just started, unless the assassin came earlier.
Thinking about this, Yang Ming suddenly found a young man wearing a cricket cap walking toward the clubhouse entrance! Yang Ming was shocked and immediately became alert.
“Brother Wang, are you on duty today?” The cricket man said to the security guard on duty. Although Yang Ming couldn’t hear, he would determine what they were saying based on their lips.
“Yeah, Boss Zhu, give me twenty chicken chops take away for today!” said the security guard called Brother Wang.
“Okay, no problem. Do I deliver at the same time again?” asked the man named Boss Zhu.
“En, that time for every day!” Brother Wang nodded. “Give me additional servings for the brothers!”
“Don’t worry! You are all my old customers. We will definitely let you have it until you’re full!” Boss Zhu laughed as he nodded to guarantee. Then, he turned around and left.
Yang Ming sighed and shook his head helplessly. It seemed that this was just food delivery. It couldn’t be the assassin. However, Yang Ming was still patient. Otherwise, he had no other place to go. Yang Ming sat on a bench by the roadside, holding the newspaper he just bought. He seemed to be reading the newspaper seriously. Actually, Yang Ming’s eyes stared at the door of the clubhouse through the paper.
After another ten minutes or so, a very stylish and sunny girl, carrying a small bag, came to the door of the clubhouse! From looking at the dress, she should be a student. She wasn’t tall, but she had a well-balanced figure. With a pair of sunglasses on her hair, she seemed more charming and cute.
According to common sense, this person should have no connection with the assassin. Such a pure and lovely girl couldn’t really have a connection with an assassin, but Yang Ming didn’t relax his vigilance.
Assassin? Must she look like so to be an assassin? Yang Ming shook his head. His usual appearance was also very sunny. His identity was also a college student at Song Jiang Industry University. Wasn’t his secret identity shocking as well?
Therefore, from the moment the girl approached the clubhouse, Yang Ming’s eyes did not leave her.
The girl was very beautiful. How to should it be said? There was a kind of incomprehensible aura with a hint of laziness, but she was very cute. This feeling made Yang Ming have an illusion of deja vu.
There seemed to be such a person by his side, but Yang Ming couldn’t think who was more like her.
When Yang Ming brought his gaze closer like the focal length in binoculars, Yang Ming felt a sense of oddness with it! The look of the girl looked natural and sweet, but it had been carefully modified!
Although the current non-mainstream people like to make up their own face beyond recognition, it was also because their own foundation wasn’t good. On the other hand, from the face shape and the position of the five senses, this girl seemed to be perfect. There was no need to put so much makeup on herself!
This made Yang Ming subconsciously look at her with x-ray vision. When he saw the girl’s true appearance, he couldn’t help but be surprised! He almost dropped the newspaper in his hands!
Because this incident brought too much shock to Yang Ming, he could not imagine that this girl would actually be that person, a person he knew!
Indeed, this person was his neighbor, Wang Xiaoyan, who looked like a little delinquent girl! The shock that it gave to Yang Ming was not little. Why did Wang Xiaoyan come here?
Yang Ming’s brows frowned together and things became much more complicated. Yang Ming didn’t really believe that Wang Xiaoyan was the assassin, but if not, why did Wang Xiaoyan come here after she put on a disguise?
Yang Ming didn’t believe that there were such coincidences in the world, but coincidences still existed. Yang Ming adjusted his mood and decided to wait and see how the situation would develop.
Yang Ming saw Wang Xiaoyan walked lightly in front of the clubhouse, looked inside the clubhouse curiously, but she did not take the initiative to talk to the security guard.
The security guard Wang saw a cute little girl coming here. Although he was a bit baffled, he still asked, “Little sister, what are you doing here?”
“What is this place? Can I go in?” asked Wang Xiaoyan, taking out her mobile phone and waving it. “I’m here as a tourist. This place seems very beautiful. I want to take a few photos.”
“Little sister, this is a private clubhouse. People who don’t have invitations can’t just enter it…” The security guard brother shook his head shyly, “If you want to take pictures, just take pictures outside… ”
“I see…” Wang Xiaoyan showed a disappointed look. “Then I will take pictures around…”
After that, Wang Xiaoyan turned around and walked around the clubhouse. The security guard brother didn’t care and let her go. Because of Wang Xiaoyan’s appearance, she was too harmless. Brother Wang wasn’t vigilant at all.
From a few conversations between Wang Xiaoyan and the security guard, Yang Ming couldn’t judge whether Wang Xiaoyan was the killer or a partner with the killer. He could only continue to observe her.
However, the next act of Wang Xiaoyan made Yang Ming deeply suspicious! The reason was very simple. While Wang Xiaoyan walked around the clubhouse, instead of taking a photo with a mobile phone, she looked at the fence and the surveillance above it!
When she saw that the protection here was so strict, it seemed that she shook her head slightly and sighed. This raised Yang Ming’s suspicion. Wang Xiaoyan did not come here to take pictures, but she had another intention!
Her approach was exactly the same as his own. First, she found an excuse to talk to the security guard. Then, she observed the security situation and terrain of the clubhouse. This undeniable raised Yang Ming’s suspicions.
However, was Wang Xiaoyan the assassin of the mission? Wasn’t this a bit too far fetched? Yang Ming couldn’t connect her with the assassin. However, as they say, a man can’t be judged by his appearance; JJ can’t be measured [1]. Did Yang Ming look like an assassin?
Even if Wang Xiaoyan wasn’t the assassin, then she should have a connection with the assassin. Yang Ming immediately turned his attention to Wang Xiaoyan’s bag right after. In the next moment, Yang Ming no longer had any doubts!
A small silencer pistol, a small dagger for assassination, binoculars, flashlight… Yang Ming was familiar with all of this. This was a set of assassin’s tools…
Yang Ming’s current mood could only be described in one sentence: The world was really crazy…
Hmm? What is this? In Wang Xiaoyan’s backpack, there was also a pack of feminine hygiene pads. Yang Ming broke into a sweat…
After Wang Xiaoyan observed the terrain, she probably felt that there was basically no possibility to start here, so she turned around and left the clubhouse. She looked around and found the bench where Yang Ming was.
This was the nearest bench in the vicinity of the clubhouse. Although there was already someone on it, Wang Xiaoyan hesitated and walked over here.
