Chapter 1087: Internal Strife
Yang Ming naturally did not put his hopes on this person. Who knew if these people would listen to this stalwart macho man, or was he trying to find a chance to kill Yang Ming?
Yang Ming pointed the gun at the stalwart macho man and slowly stepped back.
However, only two of the four macho men in front of him obeyed the command of the stalwart macho man. The remaining two were still pointing guns at Yang Ming.
"What is with the two of them?" Yang Ming suddenly had a bad hunch. Nothing was shown on their faces, but the strength of his hand increased a bit. He asked the stalwart macho man. "You don't want me to blow your head off with a gun first, right?"
"Lex, what are you doing?" The stalwart macho man's forehead was oozing sweat. Yang Ming was able to kill two people very decisively just now, so then it meant that Yang Ming certainly did not mind killing him.
"Sorry. We are only assisting in action; we are not your men!" One of the two macho men with guns spoke. He spoke English, but Yang Ming was still able to understand this simple conversation. Thankfully, Yang Ming was also a college student, and he studied English specifically.
"You have to listen to my orders!" The stalwart macho man was obviously a little anxious. He did not expect that someone would not listen to his orders at this moment.
"I'm sorry." Lex shrugged. "Our goal is to get the money, not to care about your life and death."
After that, Lex raised his gun and quickly pointed it at Yang Ming. He pulled the trigger without hesitation.
If this were someone else, he would have already become a dead body at the moment. However, Yang Ming kept his vigilance from the beginning. After listening to the conversation between the stalwart macho man and the person named Lex, Yang Ming immediately understood. The two men are not a group! My own guess is right. They just came together because of their interests. Now, it involves each other's interests, so these people immediately became two factions.
One faction was with the stalwart macho man, and they all put down their guns already. The other two were obviously in another group, and Lex was one of them! To achieve their ultimate goal, these people would not take into account the life and death of the stalwart macho man.
Fortunately, Yang Ming was prepared. When Lex started to take action, Yang Ming pulled the stalwart macho man in front of him, and Yang Ming himself quickly dropped to the ground!
" Bang! Bang! " Two consecutive gunshots went off. The stalwart macho man widened his eyes and slowly fell as he died with a grievance. Lex and the other person took the shots. Their target was Yang Ming, but it turned out to be the stalwart macho man because of Yang Ming.
Lex did not expect Yang Ming to make a judgment in an instant, leaving the stalwart macho man and escaping. What if they didn't shoot and just faked a move to scare Yang Ming? Wouldn't that have released the stalwart macho man? Yang Ming was literally gambling with his own life!
In fact, Yang Ming was not gambling, but he was sure! Yang Ming carefully observed their expressions through the masks of the stalwart macho man and Lex!
After Lex said those words, the stalwart macho man showed a panicked look. Meanwhile, Lex did not show that he cared. This could already explain the problem!
Both their faces were covered with masks. Logically, Yang Ming couldn't see their expressions, so they didn't have to fake their expressions! But they didn't know that Yang Ming had the special ability of x-ray vision, so their flaws were revealed.
Because of this, Yang Ming determined that these two people would shoot. Otherwise, Yang Ming would not be so reckless. He would kill the stalwart macho man before lying down.
However, as a result, there was some risk. It takes time to shoot. If Yang Ming shoots, Lex and another person could also shoot at him. Although Yang Ming could confidently move faster, it was not very secure.
But in this way, he could kill the stalwart macho man at Lex's hands.
"Captain!" The other two macho men who put down their guns saw that the stalwart macho man was killed, and they were somewhat anxious. They directly turned their guns at Lex and the other macho man who shot. "Lex, what do you mean by this?"
Lex was shocked; he did not expect Yang Ming to make that kind of reaction at that moment! What Lex had originally envisioned was that Yang Ming would kill the stalwart macho man and then Lex would kill Yang Ming himself.
In this way, even if the death of the stalwart macho man was related to him, there was no direct relationship, so it couldn't be blamed on him. However, now, it was obvious that the stalwart macho man was shot by him. How could Lex get away with that?
As he thought of this, Lex immediately had some headaches. At this critical moment, there was internal strife. The two people on the stalwart macho man's side pointed their guns at them!
"Don't be agitated, my friend. Listen to me..." Lex gave a look at them as he wanted to point the gun at Yang Ming on the ground. Because to him, Yang Ming was a big threat!
"Put the gun down, or I will blow your head off!" The stalwart macho man's men commanded coldly.
Lex was so angry that he wanted to curse the macho man's mother. This is a critical moment. Don't you see that your enemy is in front of you? However, at this moment, Lex could only drop the gun that he wanted to lift up because it was true that he had killed the stalwart macho man. The stalwart macho man's men were mad at him right now, and they were likely to make some irrational moves.
The other person with Lex was also asked to put the gun down. Yang Ming was watching with joy. The moment he had been waiting for finally arrived. This was a golden opportunity!
Yang Ming took out two flying needles with his right hand in one move. Taking advantage of the moment when Lex was explaining to the stalwart macho man's men, he quickly shot the flying needles respectively to Lex and the other guy with Lex.
Yang Ming didn't want to end the lives of Lex and the other person. Although Yang Ming could kill them in an instant, Yang Ming wanted to keep them alive to see if he could get something out of them.
Seeing Lex and his companion actually close their eyes and fall to the ground in a daze, the two men of the stalwart macho man were somewhat inexplicable. They swore, "What are you doing? Don't fake death!"
Yang Ming smiled secretly. It is already like this, and yet you have not figured out the situation? You have yet to deal with your enemy who is on the ground, and you think you are free of worries?
Yang Ming quickly lifted the gun in his hand and shot twice. After two gunshots, the weapons in the hands of the stalwart macho man's men fell to the ground. Yang Ming's bullets just so happened to have shot through their hands holding the guns. Yang Ming didn't give them a chance to fight back. Who knew if they would do any tricks while enduring pain?
Yang Ming quickly got up and went in front of the two people, and gave each of them a hand chop. The two of them rolled their eyes and fell to the ground. They no longer had any reaction.
Yang Ming took a long sigh of relief and thought that he was very lucky. This group of people is actually a temporary group formed by two factions. One faction killed the leader of the other faction. It is no wonder that they suddenly had internal strife.
However, even if these people were not of two factions, Yang Ming would find some way to break these people one by one after he seized the stalwart macho man. It was just that now because the problem was solved so easily, it was a bit of a blessing in disguise.
At this moment, he didn't know who was the first to start the thunderous applause in the exhibition hall. At such a critical juncture, Yang Ming knocked down the robbers with his own strength. How could these tourists not get excited?
Initially, everyone's heart was oppressed. They saw the viciousness of the robbers. No one could guarantee that the robbers would not vent out their own anger at them. Now that Yang Ming rescued them, how could they not be grateful?
It was especially so with the family of three just now. The man wearing glasses led the little girl and knelt directly in front of Yang Ming, grateful.
Yang Ming was very indifferent about these vain honors. Otherwise, if Yang Ming wanted to be famous, he would have been famous long ago. It was not necessary to wait until now. When Yang Ming killed Ji Shuisheng for the first time, he could have promoted his act of bravery in the newspaper. However, Yang Ming didn't want fame, so he was always low-key.
This time, Yang Ming also didn't want to be worshipped like a god by human beings. It didn't make any sense. Yang Ming said faintly to Li Qiang, "Report to the police. Let the police handle it."
Yang Ming's current status was different from before, so there was no need to interrogate these people in advance. It was also not difficult for Yang Ming to get the police's interrogation record. Therefore, Yang Ming would not repeat useless work.
Soon, the police rushed to the exhibition hall. Naturally, the team was led by Chen Fei. Although the jewelry exhibition was not an official event, its influence had already made the police pay attention to it. At this moment, after such a big thing happened, it was natural for the police to be sent out instantly.
Yang Ming roughly described the situation at the time, and Chen Fei took away the four living guys that were on the ground. Of course, he also found a few tourists to make a testimony. The transcripts from the tourists were not much different from what Yang Ming said, especially from that family of three. They thanked Yang Ming enthusiastically and also offered to make a banner for him. However, Yang Ming dumbfoundedly rejected it.
To restore the regular operation of the exhibition, people from the Ming Yang security guards quickly cleaned the scene after the police took photos. Chen Fei was now really impressed with Yang Ming.
Chen Fei believed that it was absolutely impossible for Yang Ming to kill three robbers and then catch another four robbers in this case, but Yang Ming had done it. Although the process of Yang Ming capturing the robbers was vague, and he even asked a few tourists, they were also inexplicable why Lex and his accomplices suddenly fainted. However, Chen Fei did not ask anymore.
Chen Fei knew the identity of Yang Ming. If there weren't a reason, Xia Bingbao wouldn't have bothered to recruit Yang Ming. This involved some confidential matters, so Chen Fei would not ask about it.
Although the jewelry exhibition resumed its normal business, there was still a faint bloody smell in the air at the exhibition.
Yang Ming didn't tell Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun about what happened just now. Yang Ming didn't want them to worry, so when they asked about what happened, Yang Ming just joked with a smiling face. "I was invincible; I launched several Yang Style Flying Kicks and defeated the robbers! Everyone is worshipping your husband and calling me a great hero!"
If Yang Ming said it well, Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun naturally would have no doubt about it. However, now, Yang Ming spoke in this joking manner, and it was not reliable at all!
Chen Mengyan said after listening, "What nonsense are you talking about? You are so improper! I heard that the robbers were armed with guns, and there were seven people. All of them were masked macho men, and you can settle them with several flying kicks?"
"Were they holding guns?" Yang Ming listened and laughed; he neither confirmed nor denied it.
"Were you there or not?" Chen Mengyan was a little dumbfounded. "Listening to your tone, you didn't seem to be there at all. You made me and Sister Lin worry about you for a long time!"
" Ha , really?" Yang Ming scratched his head and laughed awkwardly. "Forget it. Let's not talk about this."
When Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun saw Yang Ming's appearance at the moment, they believed that he was really talking nonsense and was not present at the time, so they were relieved.
Throughout the afternoon, the entire exhibition hall appeared to be very peaceful, and the security measures at the entrance became more strict. From the initial use of metal detectors to scan visitors, it became necessary to remove their coats for detailed inspection. Moreover, the people in charge of inspection previously handled by Ming Yang's security staff were replaced by police officers.
Although it was a public event, since something had already happened, Chen Fei naturally made a special report and sent several police officers to take charge of the safety during the exhibition.
The Ming Yang Security Company did not have the power to do body searches, so it was more justifiable to have the police be responsible for the security inspection.
However, no other suspicious people appeared at the exhibition, and even the number of tourists was less than in the morning. Probably the previous robbery incident caused a lot of people's psychological fears. They dared not stay at the exhibition for long and left the scene.
The police investigation results came out very quickly. Two of the four captured robbers were African; one was Vietnamese, and the other was Italian.
Lex, an Italian nationality, was an internationally wanted criminal. The other three were not good, either. They were also registered in Interpol's records. Chen Fei then contacted Interpol directly.
The four people were not stubborn. After arriving at the police station, they quickly recalled everything they knew. The two men with the stalwart macho man belonged to an African mercenary organization called "S. B." Meanwhile, Lex and his companion temporarily joined the group. It was arranged by the leader of the organization. Regarding Lex and his companion, the people of the "S. B." mercenary group did not know about them. They only worked together to complete this mission.
The mission they were going to perform was completely arranged from "above." They didn't know who the client was, nor who they were doing it for!
Moreover, they had also committed the previous bank robbery. However, Chen Fei got an important clue. As Yang Ming guessed, these people were also being honest. They robbed the bank, not for the money, but to execute the employer's order!
As for the money from the robbery, they simply didn't care about it. If this task were completed, they would be paid at least hundreds of millions of dollars.
Therefore, following the employer's request, after the bank robbery was done, they threw the money casually on the road.
They were also honest about the symbol of the organization that they left behind. It was necessary, according to the employer's request. They didn't feel that there was anything wrong with exposing the organization because their organization was far away in North Africa, where there was war all year round. They lived in between several small provisional countries. Even if their headquarters were known, others couldn't do anything to them.
Yang Ming only smiled bitterly after listening to the results of Chen Fei's interrogation. Fortunately, Yang Ming had already expected this result and did not appear to be disappointed. After all, Yang Ming had expected that with these people's professionalism, it was impossible to just engage in a robbery. They should be hired by someone. Moreover, Lex also said that their purpose was to receive money.
However, this made Yang Ming feel a little anxious, The other party can actually hire a professional mercenary to deal with me, which shows that their strength is really powerful enough.
It was certain that the guy behind-the-scenes and the guy who attacked Sun Jie at the Nightless Club wouldn't be in a group. If these people were the ones who attacked Sun Jie in the Nightless Club that day, they would probably have succeeded!
Thinking of this, Yang Ming was secretly a little anxious. Those people were really different from the ones from today, so Yang Ming directly denied the connection between the two.
However, the bank robbery case that these people confessed to gave Yang Ming some inspiration. These things formed an incomplete process in Yang Ming's mind, but he had a pivotal point that he somehow couldn't grasp.
After all, Yang Ming was not a specialized conspirator. It was already very good that he could think of these.
"What do you think?" Yang Ming told Lu Xinyang about the whole thing. With Lu Xinyang, Yang Ming did not need to hide anything. Yang Ming relied on this think-tank to contribute to himself, so Yang Ming gave him enough trust.
"According to the development of the current situation, you have already said that their previous bank robbery was intentional. It is confirmed that the purpose of their bank robbery is not for money, but for the employer's request!" Lu Xinyang said, "So why did the employer ask for this, and let them leave their mark? This is my speculation:
"The person behind-the-scenes wants to create an illusion, the illusion of a series of robberies. That is, if today's robbery were successful, then I think they will leave their mark! As a result, it shows that they were committing a succession of crimes. Last time, they robbed a bank, and this time they robbed the jewelry exhibition! Their behavior was random; they were not specially directed at the jewelry exhibition!"
Yang Ming was shocked after listening to Lu Xinyang's words. Yes! I already felt that something wasn't right before. It turns out that what wasn't right is this! Yang Ming thought of this and wanted to call Chen Fei immediately to have him interrogate the robbers about their next move if they had succeeded.
