Chapter 938: An Ability Demonstration

"Yang Ming, I don't want to beat around the bush with you because it's meaningless." Xia Bingbao said somewhat helplessly, "Since you don't want to say it, fine; then I will say it for you. You see if I'm right."

Yang Ming nodded slightly and signaled Xia Bingbao to continue.

"If my guess isn't wrong, you should have the x-ray vision ability, right?" Xia Bingbao was only probing, but his tone sounded as though he was very sure. At least, he wanted to put pressure on Yang Ming's psychology.

"Go ahead and continue." Yang Ming did not admit it, nor did he deny it, but made a gesture to continue. Because Yang Ming was also clear, if he strongly denied it, then the two people's discussion returned to the previous ones. They would enter an infinite loop that would be impractical at all.

Therefore, Yang Ming gave Xia Bingbao a chance to finish his words and see what his intentions and attitudes were. With that, Yang Ming could also make a better decision.

"Well, first of all, at Donghai Airport, you could tell exactly there were knives in a passenger's bag. With this alone, you have entered our sights," said Xia Bingbao.

"Oh?" Yang Ming smiled faintly after hearing it. "What if I said that when I was outside, I heard their conversation? This is also very common. It isn't a big deal."

"Hehe, yes. It's true that this isn't a big deal." Xia Bingbao smiled and continued, "So, you merely entered our sight just as I said. Pertaining to this, it also brought our sight to you. On the other hand, what really brought our attention to you was the rock gambling incident in Yunnan, but you were smart and low-key. You did not pick all of the refined jade stones among them. You mixed them with other low-quality jade instead. Even then, don't you think your chances of getting good quality jade was too high?"

"Maybe my luck is good," said Yang Ming naturally.

"Well, let's take it that you are lucky." Xia Bingbao did not continue to entangle but said, "So, how do you want to explain the gambling in Macau? Don't tell me that you are really a God of Gamblers. Even a God of Gamblers isn't as amazing as you are."

This time, Yang Ming did not say anything again because he had overdone it that time. He thought it wouldn't be noticed in the casinos in Macau, but he didn't expect Xia Bingbao to have so much energy.

"The most important point is that Xia Xue is my sister. I know very well what happened to her with you yesterday. Don't think that since you can hide it from Xia Xue, you can hide it from me." Xia Bingbao thought that he had caught Yang Ming's weakness, and he spoke very proudly. His eyes were full of confidence.

Yang Ming smiled secretly. Yesterday? Yesterday's thing seems to have nothing to do with my special ability. It should be the voodoo that Lan Ling passed to me. However, Yang Ming would not tell Xia Bingbao about voodoo.

"What are you going to do?" Yang Ming said undecidedly, "If you wanted to ask how I got my ability, I'm sorry that you may be disappointed because I don't know it myself."

"Of course, I'm not asking this." Xia Bingbao never thought about asking how Yang Ming acquired his ability because many people's special abilities came from birth. Some had acquired special abilities in some inexplicable opportunities. It wasn't something that could be imitated through deliberate effort. So even if he knew it, it was still useless. Xiao Bingbao's previous experiences had told him that even if someone got a special ability through an accident, and if they found another person to do the same thing, the special ability would not appear again.

"Actually, you should also be able to feel that I'm not malicious to you. Otherwise, I can't sit down and talk to you so calmly." Xia Bingbao continued, "We just think that you have this ability. It is really a waste not to join our Supernatural Investigation Bureau..."

After Yang Ming listened to Xia Bingbao's words, he couldn't help but smile, "Are you wasting it, or am I wasting it?"

Xia Bingbao laughed twice. "Of course, you can refuse."

"Can I really refuse?" Yang Ming naturally did not believe in Xia Bingbao's words. "I am afraid that if I refuse, someone will monitor me twenty-four hours a day, right?"

Yang Ming had watched the movie, "NEXT." The protagonist inside was monitored for 24 hours a day, and it caused a lot of trouble in his daily life.

"Not monitoring. It is protection." Xia Bingbao made a correction seriously.

"Isn't that the same?" Yang Ming smiled a bit and contemplated. Yang Ming didn't even think that there was such an institution. Most probably, it would not be possible for Yang Ming not to agree with Xia Bingbao's request.

"It is different in nature. It is almost the same in practice." Xia Bingbao nodded.

"But I'm still a student. I need to go to school. I have my own ideals and my own career. I don't want to be an investigator." Yang Ming shrugged and replied.

"I didn't say that you can't go to school. Going to university is the right of everyone. How can we deprive you?" Xia Bingbao said with a smile, "And, we aren't a feudal dictatorship. We will not let you give up your ideals."

"Then you..." This time it was Yang Ming's turn to be surprised. Since Xia Bingbao said this, what else did he want Yang Ming to do?

"Actually, our unit is different from what you imagined. If you join us, you don't need to go to work every day." Xia Bingbao explained, "Do you think there will be supernatural events or major events happening every day? Of course, not! Doesn't that turn it into a sci-fi world? Sometimes, we even have nothing to do for a year!

Moreover, after joining the investigation bureau, your identity is different from ours. We belong to the long-term investigators of the investigation bureau. On the other hand, you are a special investigator of the investigation bureau. The so-called special investigators are just like you, those who have special abilities in some aspects. Some of the masters in Shaolin Temple are also our special investigators.

In other words, we will only find you when there is a need. At other times, you can do what you would do. No one will bother you. "

"Like this, it sounds good." Yang Ming nodded. If that were the case, then it was fine to participate.

Seeing that Yang Ming was moved, Xia Bingbao quickly continued to lure him. "Moreover, in this business, you will inevitably offend some petty characters. With our identity, it can save you a lot of trouble! Of course, if you are working hard for us, as you do your own things with our identity, we won't interfere."

When Yang Ming heard Xia Bingbao's words, he could not help but twitch his mouth. With his current identity, who dared to offend him? Those who offended him, even without the identity of a special investigator, would die very badly. It wasn't much of an attraction for Yang Ming.

"There is a problem. Is there a salary?" Although Yang Ming had money, he wouldn't do anything just for free.

"Of course. Of course, there is!" Xia Bingbao listened to Yang Ming's words and knew that Yang Ming had agreed. He said quickly, "However, the special investigators don't have much salary. Only two thousand yuan a month. Because, you know, special investigators are very capable. They don't need this salary to feed themselves. They have other incomes outside."

"Oh, as long as it is there, it's fine. I just don't want to work for free." Yang Ming nodded after listening. "Now let's talk about it. If I join, under what circumstances would I need to contribute?"

Work for free? Xia Bingbao was dumbfounded. How many people wanted to join the Supernatural Investigation Bureau but couldn't?

"In fact, there are not many places where you need to contribute. Your ability is extraordinary. We will not need to use it often. We will only look for you in particularly serious or urgent events and circumstances." Xia Bingbao said, "For the other trivial things, the police system can handle it. I came here to help the Song Jiang police investigate the haunted traffic incidents."

Xia Bingbao knew that Yang Ming was also one of the people who had personal experience in the haunted case, so he didn't hide it. Moreover, Yang Ming would soon join their Supernatural Investigation Bureau. There was no need to hide anything.

"In other words, you won't find me more than three times a year, right?" said Yang Ming slyly.

"This..." Xia Bingbao was astounded. He thought to himself, This Yang Ming is really cunning, but I have already said it beforehand. If I go back on it, Yang Ming might go back on it. Thus, he said, "This is hard to say but certainly not more than five times!"

"Well, I agree." Yang Ming was quite satisfied with this result.

"Since you have agreed, then show me your abilities," said Xia Bingbao with a smile.

"Sorry, I don't know how to show it to you." Yang Ming shrugged and said, "But, Uncle Chen has already prepared the meal. Let's go to eat. We can talk about other stuff after a while."

As soon as Yang Ming said that, outside the study came Chen Mengyan's shouting, "Yang Ming, the meal is ready..."

Chen Mengyan didn't know the identity of Xia Bingbao, nor did she know what Xia Bingbao wanted from Yang Ming. Hence when the food was ready, she naturally called Yang Ming.

However, Chen Fei knew Xia Bingbao's identity. He knew that Xia Bingbao was looking for Yang Ming because of important business. When Chen Mengyan called Yang Ming, he quickly pulled his daughter to the side. "Mengyan, don't shout. Yang Ming and Xia Bingbao have formal business. We will wait for a while."

When Yang Ming said the previous words, Xia Bingbao was a little displeased. What is the deal for you to perform your ability? But after listening to Yang Ming, he knew that he was being played by this kid!

Yang Ming must have noticed that the food was ready outside the door. He said so because Chen Mengyan came to call him.

Xia Bingbao nodded with satisfaction. He glanced at Yang Ming and said nothing, "Well, you should go eat first. I won't be eating. I have other important things to do. I need to report to my superior what happened today."
