Chapter 1249: Who is Targeting Who?

Yang Ming said it like this, and Jing Xiaolu listened carefully.

“Then, that Elder You thought that you and Lan Ling together will bother him, so he stole the jade to frame Lan Ling. The purpose is to make you mistakenly think that Lan Ling did it so that you will be estranged from Lan Ling?” As Jing Xiaolu spoke until here, she also felt that the possibility was not high. She racked her brain and said, “It can’t be. At that time, you didn’t show that you were very powerful. How can Elder You be wary of you? Does he have a special ability that predicts? Can he foresee that you are going to ruin his future plans?”

“Special ability?” Yang Ming was quiet. How can there be so many special abilities in the world? “If he has a special ability, and he can foresee that I will ruin his plan, then he can completely guard against it. Why wait for me to ruin it?”

“That’s also true…” Jing Xiaolu stuck out her tongue. She was only simply saying it. Although Elder You was powerful, he couldn’t be as powerful as having special abilities. Lan Ling was only slightly stronger with her sixth sense.

“Of course, this is an enemy that is out in the open…” Yang Ming said, “Actually, the enemy you know is not terrifying. The most fearful ones are those enemies that can’t be seen or grasped and are always targeting you. Although Elder You is cunning, and he also practiced that dishonest Kung Fu, I just need to be vigilant against him.”

“Oh? Could it be that there is another enemy that can’t be seen or grasped?” Jing Xiaolu thought Elder You was terrifying enough. She didn’t expect that there was another invisible enemy that wanted to deal with Yang Ming!

Just as Yang Ming was about to say something, his phone rang. However, in a movie theater with loud sound effects, it couldn’t even be heard. If the mobile phone weren’t set to have both ringtone and vibration, it would be hard for Yang Ming to hear.

“Hello?” Yang Ming gestured to Jing Xiaolu and picked up the phone.

“Mr. Yang, this is Victoria.” Victoria also heard that it was noisier at Yang Ming’s end, so she increased the volume of her speech. Anyway, she was now in the hotel room. The sound insulation of the room was very good after renovation; others outside could not hear the movements inside.

“En, how is it?” Yang Ming asked after adjusting the volume of the phone to the maximum.

“Alice and two unfamiliar men met. I have already photographed them.” Victoria said, “Afterwards, I took a taxi to follow the two unfamiliar men, but they were very cunning. They entered a grocery store on the way. Then, they left through the back door of the grocery store.”

“Were you noticed?” Yang Ming didn’t think it was strange. This was the simplest anti-tracking method. If Alice’s people didn’t even have such a sense of defense, then Yang Ming wouldn’t find it threatening.

“No.” Victoria said affirmatively, “Alice has returned to the hotel.”

“Well, hide the camera well. I will look for you tomorrow morning,” said Yang Ming.

Victoria responded and hung up.

Jing Xiaolu was confused when she heard the conversation. She asked Yang Ming after he hung up the call, “What happened?”

“Didn’t I tell you before? There is another person who is targeting me behind-the-scenes.” Yang Ming said, “I have a little clue, so I sent someone to follow them, but the gains are not big.”

“Oh, so that’s it…” Jing Xiaolu nodded. “Do you have something important to deal with? Or should we not watch the movie?”

“It’s nothing.” Yang Ming smiled and said, “I’m not in a hurry. Whether we leave early or later, it doesn’t help.”

“Then you continue to tell me about the thing with the behind-the-scenes boss?” Jing Xiaolu saw that Yang Ming was not going, and she was thrilled.

Yang Ming rationalized his thoughts and continued, “I am going to tell you about this behind-the-scenes boss… In fact, the first time I heard the words, behind-the-scenes boss, it was in Macau…”

Yang Ming told Jing Xiaolu about how he met Wang Xiaoyan in Macau. Of course, Yang Ming did not use Wang Xiaoyan’s real name, but instead, replaced it with a name that resembled a female assassin.

“Ah? You became the enemy of the behind-the-scenes boss like this? That is to say, he caused trouble for you because you hindered his plans?” Jing Xiaolu’s eyes widened as if blaming Yang Ming for being nosy. “Did you do this because she is good-looking?”

“Indeed, she is good-looking, but you are also good-looking.” Yang Ming glared at Jing Xiaolu. “I helped her mainly because I knew her before! This is the main reason.”

Jing Xiaolu listened to Yang Ming’s words and smiled. She was secretly delighted that Yang Ming said that she was “good-looking.” “It turns out to be like this, but just because you saved the female assassin, the behind-the-scenes boss has a hatred against you? Then isn’t he too unscrupulous?”

Yang Ming listened to Jing Xiaolu’s words and suddenly became ashamed. “Of course, it’s not just because of this. I think this behind-the-scenes boss seems to be more against me!”

“Why do you say this?” Jing Xiaolu asked in confusion.

“Although I was in Macau, I stumbled upon the behind-the-scenes boss because I acted before thinking. However, all the following signs indicated a problem; that is, the subject targeted by the behind-the-scenes boss should be me!” said Yang Ming and then told Jing Xiaolu about the attack in Wang Xiaoyan’s home and the encounter of the jewelry thief at the jewelry exhibition.

Of course, Yang Ming did not mention the death warrior who committed suicide in Wang Xiaoyan’s house. He only said that she escaped afterward.

“The thief caught in the jewelry exhibition actually wanted to go to Macau to rely on Zheng Shaopeng?” Jing Xiaolu fell into deep thought after listening. “So, they were really ordered by the same boss! But strangely, he actually targeted you?”

“This is also where I am puzzled.” Yang Ming nodded. “I have never understood where I have offended these people so that they always target me.”

“You must have hindered their interests. Of course, it’s not only because you blocked them to kill the female assassin in Macau.” Jing Xiaolu listened to Yang Ming’s words, hesitated, and told her analysis, “Maybe you did something that inadvertently hindered the interests or the financial resources of the other party. It may not be a matter for you, but for them, you have become a thorn in their side. This is the most likely. Besides this, I really can’t think of anything else that could be a reason…”

“I inadvertently hindered the interests of others?” Yang Ming frowned, seemingly recalling whether he had hindered the interests of others. However, since it was unintentional, there was certainly not much of an impression. What Jing Xiaolu said was not wrong. Something that seemed ordinary or even a matter of course to me, may have stopped others’ livelihood.

This is the hardest to detect. I already didn’t pay attention to it. If I accidentally offended others, I don’t know where to begin even if I wanted to find the reason.

“Now, I can only guess like this.” Jing Xiaolu nodded. “Is the jewelry thief still around? Since he is a master of theft, then I suddenly thought about your jade that disappeared and reappeared. Is it related to him? From your story, the jade disappeared, reappeared, and disappeared again without anyone knowing about it. That is to say, the person who executed this thing is definitely a master of theft, so will there be any connection?”

After listening to Jing Xiaolu’s analysis, Yang Ming’s eyes suddenly lit up. Indeed, he only thought that the jade that was stolen in Yunnan must be related to Elder You’s people. The purpose was to frame Lan Ling and let Yang Ming and her be estranged, but he didn’t think on a deeper level, that the person who stole the jade must also be a master! Since he was a master, would this person who stole the jewelry be the same person?

It was just a pity that the thief had already committed suicide. Yang Ming couldn’t make a dead person speak. The only clue was that encrypted mobile phone. Hopefully, there will be some clues in it.

Seeing that Yang Ming’s face was at first happy, but then turned gloomy, Jing Xiaolu understood that Yang Ming must have thought of something, but that jewelry thief may not be around anymore.

“The behind-the-scenes boss used the stolen jewels in exchange for the jewelry thief to go back.” Yang Ming sighed helplessly.

“It turns out to be like this. It can’t be blamed on you. If such precious jewelry really was lost, you can’t afford to compensate for it.” Jing Xiaolu did not know how much money Yang Ming had, but the jewelry that Yang Ming described was worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Even if Ming Yang Entertainment and other companies were Yang Ming’s, it was not worth the price of that piece of jewelry!

Yang Ming could definitely compensate for it, but he couldn’t tell Jing Xiaolu that the thief was dead. Before Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu had more contact, Yang Ming would not tell her about those things that involved murder and dead people.

“However, according to what you said, these two things seem to have some connection!” Yang Ming frowned. “So, it seems that Elder You and the mysterious boss were working together from the beginning? There is also this possibility.”

Yang Ming felt that things were a bit messy. If the behind-the-scenes boss and Elder You worked together from the beginning, then I really can’t tell who is targeting me.

Is Elder You helping the behind-the-scenes boss to target me, or is the behind-the-scenes boss helping Elder You to target me? Or could it be that both of them want to target me, so they then hit it off?

“What are you thinking about?” Jing Xiaolu looked at Yang Ming’s indescribable expression and asked, “Are you thinking that if so, you can’t tell who is targeting you?”

Yang Ming listened to Jing Xiaolu’s words and nodded subconsciously.

“Stupid, why do you have to be so clear about it?” Jing Xiaolu suddenly covered her mouth and smiled. “No matter which of them are against you, now that they are already united, they are your enemies. Why do you want to distinguish it so clearly?”
