Jing Xiaolu brought the notebook. Yang Ming took out the memory card from the digital camera in Victoria’s hand and inserted it into the card reader of the laptop. The notebook here was also a model that Guo Jianchao specially prepared for Yang Ming. Therefore, the built-in card reader also saved a lot of trouble.
Yang Ming opened a photo on the memory card, but what Yang Ming saw was Victoria’s selfie in the mirror!
Yang Ming looked at the photo and looked at Victoria next to him; he was somewhat amazed. A girl, no matter what her identity was, loved to show off her good looks shamelessly. This assassin, Victoria, was not an exception.
Victoria was suddenly ashamed; her face immediately turned red. She said, “I was testing the camera to see if it’s good or not, getting a sense of taking pictures… The ones behind are them; these can be deleted.”
“You don’t have to delete them.” Yang Ming smiled and stopped making fun of Victoria. Instead, he scrolled to the back. Sure enough, only the first few were Victoria’s selfies. The photos later were of some scenery. Obviously, Victoria used it for testing, but most of the pictures were in the corridors or rooms of the hotel. Obviously, Victoria was cultivating a sense of taking pictures. In many cases, when she was secretly taking photos, the camera couldn’t be taken out, so she could only blindly shoot. Victoria was probably practicing how to shoot blindly.
Sure enough, Victoria said, “This was taken when I practiced. The photos are at the back.”
Yang Ming smiled and scrolled to the next picture, but the expression on his face froze in a flash.
“Huang Youcai?” Yang Ming’s eyes widened. When he looked at the pictures on the computer screen, he had some petrified feelings. “Is this the person that Alice went to see?”
“This is one of them… Why? Is there anything wrong with it?” Victoria also noticed that Yang Ming’s expression was a bit abnormal, so she asked.
“No…” Yang Ming shook his head.
Yang Ming had imagined the identity of the person targeting him, but he did not expect that the fish that slipped through the net would be Huang Youcai!
Victoria had not heard of Huang Youcai, but Jing Xiaolu was very familiar with the name. Previously, when Yang Ming told her about Wang Xifan’s matters, there was the active presence of Huang Youcai. However, she did not expect that he was the person in the photo.
“This person is Huang Youcai?” Jing Xiaolu also knew about Alice’s matters. She knew that Alice may also be controlled by the behind-the-scenes boss. However, this behind-the-scenes boss is Huang Youcai? Isn’t it too dramatic?
In Jing Xiaolu’s opinion, Huang Youcai was just a good-for-nothing advisor. Apart from being able to scheme some sinister things, he couldn’t do something significant. How could he become a behind-the-scenes boss and plan so many major events to target Yang Ming?
If he simply came up with these ideas, it was possible, but did he have the capital?
“It’s him.” Yang Ming nodded affirmatively. “How is he mixing with Alice? If he had such a great ability, would Wang Xifan fall from power?”
“Is there a photo of the other man?” Yang Ming muttered to himself and asked. Huang Youcai was less likely to play a leading role because Yang Ming knew that Huang Youcai couldn’t do big things; he could only scheme some crafty plots.
“Yes, but it was taken from a distance; it may not be very clear.” Victoria nodded and said, “There was no chance to take pictures inside the coffee shop. I took the opportunity to hide at the coffee shop’s door before they left, then I photographed them.”
Yang Ming scrolled to the photo at the back and saw another man appearing in it. This was a photo of Huang Youcai, Alice and another man. The three were coming out from the coffee shop’s door, and Alice was about to reach out and stop a taxi.
The man’s appearance was very unfamiliar. Yang Ming stared for a long time, carefully recalling the people he had been in contact with. Unfortunately, no such person had appeared before.
This man’s appearance had no special features; it could even be described as ordinary and insignificant. He had the face of an average Joe, and his figure was also very ordinary. There was nothing unusual. He was the kind that could be directly ignored in the crowd.
However, Yang Ming didn’t know why this person gave him a familiar feeling; he seemed to know him. However, under careful observation, there was still no clue. Yang Ming could be sure that he had not seen this person before.
Could this person be the behind-the-scenes boss? Yang Ming was not sure. Judging from Huang Youcai’s appearance here, the people whom Alice met may not be the behind-the-scenes boss. Perhaps, they were the two men under the behind-the-scenes boss.
Thinking of this, Yang Ming sighed slightly. Although these clues were helpful to Yang Ming, it did not help much. Even if he knew that Huang Youcai was among the group of people behind the behind-the-scenes boss, it just meant that Huang Youcai was one of them.
From the old-fashioned style of the behind-the-scenes boss, he contacted Elder You, Tian Long, Sui Yuejin, Qu Daming, Liu Chan, and now Huang Youcai. It shows that the behind-the-scenes boss would use anyone to target me. They didn’t need to have any abilities.
Therefore, if Huang Youcai wanted to exact revenge for Wang Xifan and Wang Zhitao, it was understandable for him to work for the behind-the-scenes boss.
Since there was still no clue for this matter, it was better to solve the other imminent issue. Yang Ming was not in a hurry to dig out the behind-the-scenes boss now because he knew that this was unrealistic.
“Victoria, you can go back. Continue to monitor Alice; take pictures if there is any situation. You can act as you see fit. You don’t have to call me all the time. It’s good as long as you are not discovered.” Yang Ming instructed Victoria.
“Yes, Mr. Yang.” Victoria nodded. She didn’t stay long; she stood up straight and walked toward the door.
Jing Xiaolu was a bit curious about Victoria’s swift and decisive action. After she left, Jing Xiaolu asked, “Yang Ming, where did this Victoria come from? Why does she look so cool?”
“I found her. She is a female bodyguard that I prepared to protect Chen Mengyan and others secretly.” Yang Ming did not hide anything from Jing Xiaolu. “However, because Alice’s identity is suspicious, I let her stay at the hotel secretly to pay attention to Alice’s movements first.”
As for Alice’s matter, Yang Ming already told Jing Xiaolu, but Yang Ming had not mentioned Victoria yet. That was why Jing Xiaolu was so curious.
“It turns out to be like this…” Jing Xiaolu responded very flatly. She thought, When can Victoria become my bodyguard?
Yang Ming naturally didn’t know what Jing Xiaolu thought. He let her keep the notebook first, then he left the Song Jiang International Hotel in a hurry. Tonight, he had to go see Zhang Zhishen about putting voodoo on the people around Tian Long. This thing couldn’t be delayed; the earlier this was done, the earlier Sun Jie and the others would be safe.
The lobby manager felt that it was strange that Yang Ming left after a short moment, but he didn’t dare to ask. He sent Yang Ming to the car and watched Yang Ming’s car go.
On the way, Yang Ming called Zhang Zhishen.
“Zhang Zhishen, this is Yang Ming. Where are you?” asked Yang Ming.
“I am in my house in the Huashang District.” Zhang Zhishen was sleeping, but he was awakened by the phone ringing. Once he saw it was Yang Ming, he was suddenly alert. Because his duty was to protect Yang Ming, he couldn’t let anything happen to Yang Ming.
This time, because of Elder You’s disappearance, Yang Ming did not need Zhang Zhishen to continue to protect him. So, Zhang Zhishen stayed in the house in the Huashang District to be on standby.
“I have something to discuss with you; I’m coming over right now. Is it convenient now?” asked Yang Ming. After all, Zhang Zhishen lived with his girlfriend. Since it was already so late, Yang Ming was afraid that it would be inconvenient if he went over.
“It’s okay; it’s fine. I will be waiting for you in the living room.” Zhang Zhishen said quickly.
Fifteen minutes later, Yang Ming appeared in the living room of Zhang Zhishen’s house.
“Our discussion won’t affect your girlfriend, right?” Yang Ming glanced at the closed bedroom door and asked.
“It’s okay; don’t worry about her.” Zhang Zhishen waved his hand. “Brother Yang, what’s the matter? You can tell me.”
” En , this time, what I want to ask you is this. Do you know if there is a kind of voodoo that has no reaction at the time it was put on someone, but if the antidote isn’t taken after a while, the voodoo will take effect, and the person will die… I heard Lan Ling mention something similar. I don’t know if you can make it?”
“This kind of voodoo is very simple.” After Zhang Zhishen heard it, he spoke with confidence. “This is the simplest voodoo; almost everyone in the Miao Village can make it. Brother Yang, how long after do you want the voodoo to go into effect?”
” En , now, I need the one that will take effect once a day, and then, I may want it to take effect a little longer,” said Yang Ming.
“No problem; when do you want it?” Zhang Zhishen nodded and asked.
“Can you do it now?” asked Yang Ming.
“If now… then I have to call Xiao Qi to get up and help me make it together.” Zhang Zhishen said as he stood up and prepared to go to the bedroom to ask his girlfriend to wake up. He also understood that it must definitely be a crucial thing for Yang Ming to look for him in the middle of the night to prepare voodoo.
Although Yang Ming felt sorry for Zhang Zhishen and his girlfriend, things could not be delayed. He could only have them work late at night.
Xiao Qi was woken up in the middle of the night. She heard that Yang Ming had something to entrust them to do, so Xiao Qi didn’t complain at all. Instead, she yawned and proactively went to work with Zhang Zhishen.
This time, Zhang Zhishen had already brought a lot of things related to voodoo with him when he came to Song Jiang. Later, he also shipped over a lot of raw materials for the preparation of voodoo.
The voodoo that Yang Ming needed was the most common one, so Zhang Zhishen and Xiao Qi could prepare it very quickly. However, Yang Ming required more of it, so it had to take a bit more effort.
