Chapter 1847: A Swift Glance at the Airport

After going through the security check, Yang Ming looked back subconsciously. He sensed that there was someone behind him. It was a kind of intuition. Yang Ming was shocked when he looked back. He saw an unexpected someone!

Huang Youcai! Wang Xifan’s right-hand man, Huang Youcai, who later followed the mysterious behind-the-scenes boss. This was something Yang Ming knew from Victoria’s investigations.

Huang Youcai was sitting in an electric wheelchair with a tall white man standing next to him. The two were talking about something.

The white man was speaking in English, and Huang Youcai could obviously understand English. Yang Ming could read lips and had studied English before. So, he could clearly understand what these two were talking about.

The white man was asking, “Where did Falcon go? Why did he disappear?”

Huang Youcai’s reply was, “He probably went to the toilet?”

“The toilet? Why didn’t he say so? He just disappeared.” The white man shook his head and did not say more.

It turns out that it was not just the two of them. There were three of them instead. Yang Ming frowned. This meant that there was also another guy called “Falcon” who was with them before this. It was apparent that this Falcon had disappeared for some reason.

Of course, Huang Youcai’s “toilet” excuse was totally false. Even the white man did not believe it. Of course, Yang Ming also did not believe it.

Yang Ming sighed a little. He could roughly guess the reason Falcon had disappeared all of a sudden. He was probably because he saw Yang Ming and was afraid that Yang Ming would see him.

Of course, this was just Yang Ming’s guess. However, he was confident that his guess was pretty accurate. Yang Ming had always suspected that the behind-the-scenes boss had a spy amongst the close people around him. This was the only way the behind-the-scenes boss could find out about Yang Ming’s news and whereabouts beforehand.

So, Yang Ming now had reason to believe that Falcon was the spy amongst close people around him. At the very least, they should have met before. This was why Falcon hurriedly chose to hide without saying anything to the white man or Huang Youcai when he saw Yang Ming.

This white man looked like a guest of Huang Youcai and Falcon. They probably came to greet him at the airport. However, Falcon didn’t expect to bump into Yang Ming, which was why he left temporarily.

Yang Ming’s cold gaze stayed on Huang Youcai’s face. At this moment, Yang Ming was no longer avoiding anything. The grudge between him and these people would need to be solved sooner or later. So, he wasn’t afraid that they would notice him.

Especially with the approaching trip to Yunnan, Yang Ming did not want to leave this lurking peril in Song Jiang. Although he didn’t know why these people had targeted him and whether or not they would stop after he left for Yunnan, he was afraid that they would target the people around him instead. This was the last thing Yang Ming wanted to see.

His relatives, his women, and his friends were still here. If he didn’t find out what these people actually wanted before he left, he would not be at ease. However, time was a restriction. It seemed impossible for him to settle them once and for all.

He hoped that they were only targeting him, and would not involve other people. He hoped that they would give it a rest if he were unable to return from Yunnan. And if he were to return from Yunnan alive, it wouldn’t be too late to get rid of them at that time.

A person’s sixth sense is an incredibly magical feeling. Although we have no eyes on our backs, if someone were to stare at us with an unfriendly gaze, we would get involuntary chills. This is also known as the so-called malicious intent.

This thing is incredibly mysterious, but is also invisible. However, many people could sharply sense when they are being spied on or watched.

Huang Youcai felt a sudden chill on his body as he was talking to the white man. It was as if he had been killed by someone’s gaze. Huang Youcai subconsciously looked around him, and met Yang Ming’s cold gaze.

Intentionally or unintentionally, Huang Youcai had always been hiding from Yang Ming. He didn’t want Yang Ming to know of his existence. He enjoyed the feeling of hiding in the dark and being a shadow.

However, he met Yang Ming face-to-face at the airport unexpectedly!

Previously, Huang Youcai was extremely happy when Falcon mentioned that Dr. Benjamin had sent another expert over to help them deal with Yang Ming, and came to the airport with Falcon to greet him in person. Although he couldn’t tell if this white man of ordinary appearance was an expert, he believed that this person was indeed an expert since Falcon was fine with it.

Huang Youcai was also wondering why Falcon turned and disappeared suddenly. But when he saw Yang Ming, he understood everything. It turned out that Falcon had already seen Yang Ming, and was afraid that Yang Ming would recognize him!

Huang Youcai was a little upset when he thought of this. You’re afraid of being recognized, but I am too! Plus, you are in disguise. It is not certain that you will be recognized. So disloyal!

However, Huang Youcai also knew that this was a sudden incident and Falcon might not have had the opportunity to give him a heads up. So, although he was somewhat resentful, he understood. He thought about it in detail. Since the hatred between Yang Ming and I has long been established, it doesn’t matter if he sees me.

Huang Youcai took a breath and calmed his previous panic. He looked at Yang Ming calmly and nodded at him. After that, he no longer paid attention to him and walked toward the domestic arrivals’ exit gate while talking to the white man.

Yang Ming frowned. He did not expect Huang Youcai to be so calm. However, his previous moment of panic did not escape Yang Ming’s eyes. Moreover, Huang Youcai did not know that Yang Ming had already discerned that there were three of them, with the third person being called Falcon.

The Donghai International Airport was extremely large. It was not easy to locate a person even with special abilities. Yang Ming used his 360-degree vision to scan his surroundings but did not find anyone suspicious. He then gave up on looking as he still had things to do. He didn’t have the time to linger around here. Even if he did find the person, it was impossible for Yang Ming to go back through the security check again to confirm it. Everything would have to wait until he returned from Las Vegas.

It was not that difficult to take a flight from Donghai to the capital, and then take a connecting flight to Las Vegas. It was already noon the next day when Yang Ming walked out of the Las Vegas McCarran International Airport. Yang Ming got into a taxi that was waiting for passengers at the airport gate, and spoke to the driver in English, “Take me to the Douglas Hotel.”

“Okay.” There were many foreign guests that headed to the Douglas Hotel these days. These taxi drivers also knew that the Douglas Hotel was the designated hotel for the Jewelry Exhibition guests.

Yang Ming was not in the mood to appreciate the street scenery of Vegas. In the past year, he had been to many places and was no longer as curious as he was used to the allure of foreign lands.

The more you see these things, the more similar they all look. However, it was commendable that there was no traffic congestion in such a prosperous international metropolis. The journey was smooth and unobstructed.

The traffic here was completely different from that of the second-tier city, Song Jiang. Song Jiang was already very congested, but this was not the case in Las Vegas. The roads of this city were designed meaningfully, but they were also undoubtedly creative.

Most of the roads in Las Vegas were not closed. They led in all directions. But there were too many roads. It was indeed a pity that some land resources had been wasted in this international metropolis. However, the gains from this sacrifice were incredibly large.

Soon, the taxi arrived at the parking lot in front of the Douglas Hotel. Yang Ming paid the fare, then exited the car and walked into the Douglas Hotel’s lobby.

“Hello, sir!” The receptionist greeted Yang Mingpolitely after he walked in. “Sir, are you looking to stay?”

“En, but I need to find someone first.” Yang Ming nodded.

“There’s no problem with that. But I’m afraid you will not be able to stay. So sorry, but our rooms are full and there are no more spare rooms,” The receptionist said apologetically.

She saw that Yang Ming had come by taxi and was very new. So, she guessed that Yang Ming was not a guest of the hotel, but a newcomer instead. So, she first asked to confirm.

So after hearing Yang Ming’s affirmative reply, the receptionist explained quickly. This hotel had become the designated hotel for the International Jewelry Exhibition. So, it had long been fully booked and they could no longer accommodate any outside guests

Chapter 1848: Caique’s Palpitating Heart

“Oh? You’re full?” Yang Ming froze for a moment. Then, he immediately found the crux of the matter. As the designated hotel for the International Jewelry Exhibition, it was certainly impossible for them to have any more rooms. However, Yang Ming decided that he should first call Wang Mei before doing anything else.

Since Zhang Bing and Zhang Jiefang had both been detained by the casino, their previous rooms should already be vacant. Yang Ming could just stay in their room, and need not get another room.

“Yes. So sorry, this is the designated hotel for the International Jewelry Exhibition…” The receptionist said apologetically.

Sure enough, Yang Ming’s guess was right. Yang Ming didn’t mind, and said, “I’ll borrow your internal phone line first. I’m looking for a friend.”

Wang Mei had not activated international roaming on her mobile phone. Previously, Wang Mei had used the hotel phone to call Yang Ming, and he had seen the IP number transferred from the domestic carrier was shown. Yang Ming could not see the specific number, but Wang Mei said that he could just call her room after he got to the hotel.

“Sure.” The receptionist brought Yang Ming next to the lobby’s reception and handed Yang Ming a phone. She then smiled and asked, “Sir, do you need me to dial it for you?”

“Sure, room 617,” said Yang Ming.

The receptionist deftly dialed the extension to room 617, and handed the telephone receiver to Yang Ming: “Sir, I’ve dialed it for you.”

Yang Ming took the phone and nodded to the receptionist in a friendly manner. The call was connected shortly afterward, and Wang Mei’s somewhat timid voice was heard, “Hello?”

Yang Ming was a little surprised. However, it was not surprising that Wang Mei could speak in English considering her previous job as a flight attendant. Especially when she was born in an international city like Macau.

“It’s me. Wang Mei, I’ve arrived,” said Yang Ming.

“Ah! Brother Yang, where are you? Oh… This is the hotel’s internal phone line, you must be downstairs. Hold on, I’ll go down now!” said Wang Mei quickly.

“En, I’ll wait for you in the hotel lobby.” Yang Ming hung up the phone as soon as he finished, and returned the telephone receiver to the receptionist.

Yang Ming only waited for a short time in the hotel lobby before he saw Wang Mei come running out of the elevator. Seeing Yang Ming was like seeing a savior. “Brother Yang! You’re here!” After she said this, Wang Mei hesitated for a while and said, “Let’s go back to the room and talk?”

“Hold on, how many rooms did you book?” Yang Ming had to first solve the issue of his accommodation at night.

“One!” Wang Mei said, “What’s wrong?”

“One? That many of you in one room?” Yang Ming was taken aback by Wang Mei’s words.

“Um… We got a double suite. Zhang Bing and I slept inside, and Uncle Zhang slept outside…” Wang Mei knew that Yang Ming had misunderstood after seeing the look on his face so she explained quickly.

Yang Ming was relieved and enlightened. He was initially wondering if this Zhang Bing father-and-son had some kind of unique fetish. However, it was a double suite. Yang Ming was a little uncomfortable staying there. After all, Wang Mei was Zhang Bing’s mistress. Although it was a double suite, it was not too convenient for him to stay there. It was better to avoid things like this if possible.

However, the hotel’s rooms were full. This was indeed a headache.

Yang Ming had already glanced around on his way here. This was the only larger hotel around here. The other large hotels were far away, and it would not be convenient for him to discuss things with Wang Mei if he stayed there.

“There isn’t even one room available?” Yang Ming asked the receptionist with a bitter grin.

“Sir, I’m sorry. There really isn’t any…” The receptionist shook her head apologetically.

“Alright, got it.” Yang Ming nodded. However, he did not give up. Instead, he decided to give Caique a call first. Initially, Yang Ming no longer wanted to contact Caique. However, things had come to this point. Only Caique would be able to solve this current emergency.

Yang Ming’s business also included hotels. So, he knew that only the normal rooms were full when hotels state they were fully booked. They would still have reserved rooms for unforeseen circumstances such as inspections by the superiors from the parent company, or connections that came to their door. They would need to have a certain amount of flexibility.

Yang Ming found Caique’s contact information and dialed him directly.

At this moment, Caique had left China and returned to the Douglas Family in Ello Town. Although they had lost their business in China, none of the family members made a sound.

Seeing the elders who were swallowing their rage, Caique was happy. He thought in his heart. You people are also bullies who are afraid of bigger bullies. You know that you cannot afford to offend this new guy, and so you kept your mouth shut. It seems that everyone is afraid of death!

Normally, even if it was not something caused by the family master, the family master would certainly be impeached or even fired if the family got into such a big mess. However, everyone was quiet this time. It was as if nothing had happened.

A sudden hurried ringtone was heard. Caique put down the documents in his hand and reached for his phone. This was his personal number that not many people knew about. Caique glanced at the phone, but it was a foreign call from overseas. Only the transferred IP number was shown, and the actual number was not visible.

Caique didn’t want to pick up at first, but he still picked up after thinking about it. “Hello, how are you? This is Caique.”

“Caique? This is Yang Ming.” Yang Ming didn’t use English either. He knew that Caique could understand Chinese.

“Ah!” Caique was shocked when he heard Yang Ming’s voice. He was relieved that he didn’t ignore the call earlier. Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable!

It seemed that his hesitation was right. If he didn’t pick up this call and Yang Ming were to have any ideas, he would be finished!

“Hello, Mr. Yang!” Although Caique was scared and didn’t know why Yang Ming was calling him, he asked carefully, “Is there anything I need to do?”

Caique said “I need to do”, and not “that needs my help”. This showed his ability with words to avoid Yang Ming’s dislike.

“I’m inside of the Douglas Hotel in Las Vegas at this moment…” said Yang Ming.

Yang Ming’s words chilled Caique’s heart instantly. Oh my, for real? Why is this malefic comet [1] all the way in Las Vegas? He’s even in the Douglas Hotel. It couldn’t be that someone from the Douglas Hotel has offended him, right?

Oh good heavens, wouldn’t this kill me? There are so many better people to offend. Why offend such a person? He’s even more terrifying than terrorists!

“Mr. Yang… Who offended you? I will definitely punish them!” As he thought of this, Caique quickly expressed his position.

“What? Who offended me? No one has offended me.” Yang Ming was stunned. He knew that Caique had misunderstood him. “I called to ask you for help. Are you overthinking?”

“Ah… Okay, okay…” Caique exhaled. He almost had a heart attack. It seemed that his hotel hadn’t offended Yang Ming. That was good. As for the help, Yang Ming had spoken. Even if Caique had to pluck the moon and stars, he would still have to do his best!

“Mr. Yang, do let me know what’s the matter. It’s not about helping. Your orders determine the direction of my life!” Caique said righteously.

“He—” Yang Ming laughed. “It’s not much really. I came to stay, but the hotel fully booked. Is there anything you can do?”

“This matter is too easy!” Caique heard Yang Ming’s words, and said in his heart that this was nothing! Each Douglas Vast Hotel had reserved luxury suites for members of the Douglas Family. They just were not usually open, and would only be used when members of the Douglas Family visited. This time, it just so happened to be used for Yang Ming. So, Caique said, “Mr. Yang, do call for the manager here. Let me speak to him! En… The manager here should be Batterton, right?”

“Okay, hold on.” As Yang Ming finished speaking to Caique, he waved at the receptionist from before.

The receptionist walked over quickly, “Sir, what’s the matter?”
