Chapter 1215: Embark on the Return Journey

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

After they left the boat, they still returned to Vietnam by plane. After a dozen hours of traveling, it was still Fatty Li picking them up.

“Yang Ming!” Fatty Li rushed to the plane where Yang Ming was. “You are back!”

“En, I am back, Fatty!” Yang Ming smiled and hugged him. The relationship between Yang Ming and Fatty Li could no longer be based on simple interest. After the previous situation of life and death, their friendship wasn’t the kind that could easily be destroyed.

“I can finally be relieved.” Fatty Li breathed a sigh of relief. “I was still worried about what would happen on your way. You know, that area isn’t under my control.”

“It’s fine. There was indeed an uneasy territory’s boss, but he became honest after being taught a lesson.” Yang Ming shrugged and said indifferently.

“Ha ha!” When Fatty Li thought of Yang Ming’s skill, he understood it. Who can take advantage of Yang Ming?

“Is the situation here stable?” Yang Ming walked as he asked Fatty Li.

“It’s all stable. I am in charge of this area now.” Fatty Li said, “If you want to smuggle in the future, you can directly look for me.”

“How many times can I smuggle?” Yang Ming smiled bitterly. “This time, I’m returning to China; I’m not sure when I will see you again.”

“Yeah!” Fatty Li also had some sentiment. Just like the previous time, he separated with Fang Tian; it was a decade. How many decades can a human live?

“However, you can take your wife back to the country and take a look.” Yang Ming saw Fatty Li’s sadness and patted his shoulder.

“I will…” Fatty Li paused as he said up to here. He wanted to continue saying something, but he stopped again.

“Fatty, what’s wrong with you? Is there anything wrong?” Yang Ming also saw Fatty Li’s hesitation, so he asked.

“Yang Ming, I have something to ask from you… but I also know that this is a little trouble for you, so I don’t know how to say it…” Fatty Li sighed and said slowly.

“Sure enough. You have something!” Yang Ming patted Fatty Li’s shoulder and said, “Fatty, just say it if you have something. Our relationship was established during a life and death situation. There is nothing that we can’t say. If I can help with it, then I will definitely help you.”

Fatty Li listened to Yang Ming’s words, and his heart was moved. Indeed, their relationship was unrepeatable. Their experience between them was destined to be solid and irreplaceable.

Although Yang Ming’s help seemed to be more than what Fatty Li could ask for, how could a comrade in the trenches be calculative of each other?

“Actually, things are like this.” Fatty Li said, “I didn’t want to say this when you just got off the plane, but you’ll soon leave. I really have to say it.”

“Fatty Li, when did you become such a naggy person? Just say it if you need something!” Yang Ming kicked Fatty Li, then he smiled and said, “Why are you talking so much nonsense?”

“Well, then I will say it!” Fatty Li clenched his teeth. “Brother Yang… forget it. I will let Yang Mei tell you later!”

“Yang Mei?” Yang Ming was slightly stunned, then he immediately remembered Yang Mei who was Fatty Li’s wife. Seeing Fatty Li was so hesitant, Yang Ming couldn’t help it. He could only talk about it when he met Yang Mei.

At the moment, in the middle of the night, Yang Ming was going to take a break here. He would return home after daybreak. The place to rest was naturally Fatty Li’s home.

Yang Mei had cooked a few side dishes. She obviously knew that Yang Ming would come back today, so she had carefully prepared it. Although the dishes were very simple, it was perfectly wonderful in color, smell, and taste. Yang Ming, Wang Xiaoyan, Victoria, and Alice were hungry.

“Alice, you are a woman who is always on top. I don’t know if you can get used to this food or not. Don’t eat if you can’t get used to it.” Wang Xiaoyan saw Alice frown when Alice picked up the chopsticks. She apparently thought that the chopsticks were not hygienic.

Wang Xiaoyan’s words were obviously not out of concern for Alice, but a cynicism. Alice naturally could hear this. After glaring at Wang Xiaoyan, Alice said, “Who said that I am not used to it?”

Yang Ming shook his head and said nothing, but Fatty Li had a bitter smile. He didn’t know what the identity of the woman brought by Yang Ming was, and he didn’t simply dare to open his mouth.

Alice frowned because she had been in the upper class for a long time, so she would have such a subconscious reaction. However, when she really sat down and ate the dishes, she didn’t care so much. She ate them with relish instead.

“Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are really good. It seems that Fatty is really blessed!” Yang Ming laughed while eating.

“Hehe, Mr. Yang, you are used to eating well. It’s only good if you eat it occasionally. If you eat it every day, you wouldn’t think so.” Yang Mei smiled.

When Yang Ming and the other people were about to finish eating, Fatty Li coughed twice to hint to Yang Mei, and she immediately understood it.

“Mr. Yang, I have something to trouble you. Fatty had mentioned half of it to you before…” Yang Mei hesitated and said.

“Sister-in-law, tell me if you need my help. I told Fatty before, but he felt inappropriate. I said that as long as I can do it, I will do it,” said Yang Ming.

“Actually, this is the case. Mr. Yang, can you bring along Yang Hua when you leave?” Yang Mei glanced at Yang Hua who was sitting by the side silently while eating, then she said to Yang Ming.

“Yang Hua? Bring along?” Yang Ming was slightly shocked. Then, he immediately understood the meaning of Fatty Li and Yang Mei. They wanted him to bring Yang Hua back to China and stay away from here.

“Yeah!” Fatty Li also went all in at this moment as he nodded. “The education and environment here are far worse than on the other side. Moreover, following Yang Mei and me… you should know too. Although the situation is stable now, maybe someday, my nemesis will seek revenge again. Yang Mei and I don’t want to drag Yang Hua into it, so I have to ask you to take her away. Just bring her back to her old home; her uncle will be there.”

“So, that’s the case. I thought it was a big deal!” Yang Ming nodded immediately after listening. “This is very easy; rest assured. I will handle it well, but is Yang Hua willing to separate from you?”

When Yang Ming asked this question, he looked at Yang Hua. Yang Hua’s body moved slightly, but she still kept her head down. She had obviously talked with Fatty Li and Yang Mei before and reached a consensus.

“Emotionally, she doesn’t want to, but the environment there is good. Yang Mei and I have already told her,” replied Fatty Li.

“Well, then I will take her with me.” Yang Ming agreed. “As for taking her back to her hometown, it will take a few days more. I have to stay in Song Jiang for a few days to handle things.”

“That’s fine. Yang Hua is not in a hurry.” Yang Mei said quickly, “Mr. Yang, if you have something to do, then you should handle it first!”

The matter had just been finalized. Yang Ming could empathize with their mood. Yang Hua was still young; she should have her own life, but not stay in Vietnam and live a fearful life.

Yang Hua was also destined not to be able to marry an ordinary man with her identity. She could only marry those who were similar to Fatty Li. Yang Mei didn’t want her sister to be like this too, so the only way was for her to leave this place and start a new life.

With the opportunity of Yang Ming, Fatty Li and Yang Mei made up their minds for such a decision. Because of the friendship formed between Yang Ming and Fatty Li during a life and death situation, Fatty Li definitely trusted Yang Ming. If it were another person, Fatty Li wouldn’t be assured with them taking away Yang Hua.

Fatty Li was in too much contact with the ugly side of humans. He knew that with a beautiful girl like Yang Hua, if she were to be entrusted to an ill-intentioned person, she would most likely end up as a prostitute in a nightclub. Of course, this was better. What’s more, she could be sold to a remote mountainous area to marry a disabled person. It was terrible just thinking about it.

But Yang Ming would never do it. Although he didn’t know Yang Ming for a long time, Fatty Li trusted Yang Ming. Especially when Yang Ming’s other identity was an assassin, and an assassin was a more faithful person. With these two points, Fatty Li was assured to entrust Yang Hua to Yang Ming.

In fact, with Fatty Li’s own strength, it wasn’t difficult to bring Yang Hua back to China, but the key issue was that Yang Mei was not at ease!

Yang Mei and Yang Hua had been away from there for many years. They didn’t know how their hometown was now. If they just threw Yang Hua directly back to China, let’s not say if her uncle that she had never met would adopt her. Even if he adopted her, it wasn’t certain he would treat her nicely.

With Yang Ming, such a strong backer over there, Yang Mei was relieved. At least, Yang Ming would look after Yang Hua, and she wouldn’t suffer any grievances.

Yang Ming actually understood this too. Since Fatty Li trusted him so much, Yang Ming would not disappoint his trust. He would definitely let Yang Hua have a good life.

It was daybreak, and time for Yang Ming to go too.

Yang Hua and Yang Mei hugged each other for a long time, but she didn’t want to separate. Her eyes were swollen from crying, and her voice was hoarse. Fatty Li and Yang Ming, who were by the side, sighed.

“Alright, Yang Hua, follow Brother Yang Ming. Your life is over on the other side. You will only have a bright future over there.” Yang Mei patted Yang Hua’s shoulder and said.

“Sister… You promise me. Within two years, you will finish the matter with brother-in-law and find me…” Yang Hua said with a whimper.

“En, your brother-in-law and I will find you as soon as possible.” Yang Mei nodded.

Yang Hua silently loosened her grip of her sister’s body. She actually understood that her sister was only comforting her. How could the “business” of her brother-in-law be over just like that?

Two years; it might not be able to end even after ten years. After the separation today, when would they meet again?

It was still Fatty Li who drove Yang Ming to the boat. However, this time, Fatty Li did not go back with Yang Ming, but he arranged a car to pick Yang Ming up on the opposite side.

Yang Hua quietly sat in the back of the car, holding her head with both hands, not knowing what she was thinking. She looked back, but she could no longer see the sceneries of Vietnam.

From today, Yang Hua understood that she would face another kind of life.

“Yang Hua, you will live in Song Jiang for a few days until I finish the matters in my hand. Then I will arrange for someone to take you to your home to find your uncle.” Yang Ming looked back at Yang Hua, then said with a sigh.

Yang Hua nodded silently. She already knew that Yang Ming wasn’t the kind of person like Fatty Li, so she had no hostility at the moment. Her silence was entirely because of grief.

She had been living with her sister for so many years and had separated from her sister today. It was uncertain when would they meet each other again.

Victoria, Wang Xiaoyan, and Alice each occupied a row of independent seats. This was a Toyota Coaster [1]. There were quite a lot of seats, so it was quite open.

Victoria was originally a person who didn’t like to speak, and her identity was quite special. She naturally wouldn’t say too much to others. Wang Xiaoyan was more disgusted with Alice. Alice was afraid that Wang Xiaoyan would notice anything, so she didn’t want to say anything to Wang Xiaoyan.

…

Wang Kejin looked at the information in his hand, and his heart was a little annoyed. This was just an ordinary assassination of a college student mission. He actually wasted so many days. According to the information displayed, there were three places where Yang Ming often appeared.

One was the school district of Song Jiang Industry University and the dormitory apartment building; one was the family area of Song Jiang Ming Yang Heavy Industry; the other was the villa in the Hua Shang District.

After staying in these three places for many days, Wang Kejin did not see Yang Ming, and he even suspected that the information provided was wrong!

However, after confirming with the school’s Academic Affairs Office, Yang Ming was indeed a student of Song Jiang Industry University, and the family area of Song Jiang Ming Yang Heavy Industry was indeed the home of Yang Ming’s parents. The name of the villa was also showing Yang Ming when he investigated the residential property.

This made Wang Kejin doubtful, and he could only continue to run back and forth between these three places. He didn’t expect such a simple mission to be so troublesome. If the return could not be completed, how could he have the face return to the Butterfly Family? How could he have the face to be accepted as Master Tombstone’s apprentice?

The mobile phone he carried vibrated twice. Wang Kejin took out the phone and glanced at it; it was his instructor’s call. Wang Kejin sighed a little. His first mission had not been completed; he didn’t know if the instructor would reprimand him.

“Hello, instructor.” Wang Kejin picked up the phone and said seriously.

“Kejin, how is the mission? Why is there no news for so many days? The other instructors also mentioned you in these few days.” The instructor’s voice carried some concern and some slight blame.

“Instructor… my mission has not been completed yet.” Wang Kejin forced himself to say it.

“Oh? The mission has not been completed yet? Hehe, the underworld boss of a city, how is it easy to be assassinated?” The instructor smiled comfortingly. “But you have to hurry up.”

“No, instructor, I haven’t finished the first mission.” Wang Kejin said with some helplessness. Although he knew that if he said so, and the instructor might be disappointed, he couldn’t lie to his instructor.

“The first mission? The mission of assassinating a college student and his girlfriend?” The instructor was stunned and asked somewhat incredulously, “This mission is so simple. Why is it not completed yet?”

“Simple… It is very simple, but I have been watching for so many days. I don’t even see traces of the target.” Wang Kejin hated Yang Ming. Because this Yang Ming did not appear, it made Wang Kejin stuck in such a situation. If he weren’t accepted as an apprentice under Master Tombstone, then his previous efforts were all in vain.

Therefore, Wang Kejin blamed all this on Yang Ming. He now wanted to smash Yang Ming into pieces.

“It turns out to be like this.” The instructor said after listening, “That can’t be blamed on you, but you have to speed up the investigation. This mission was accepted a long time ago, but we don’t have any explanation to the person who submitted this mission. This will influence our reputation.”

“I understand, instructor. Rest assured; I will hurry up.” Wang Kejin promised.

“Well, keep in touch with me if there is any news,” said his instructor.

…

Yang Ming first arranged Victoria, Alice, and Yang Hua in Guo Jianchao’s hotel. The hotel had been refurbished and renamed Song Jiang Ming Yang International Hotel. It had successfully been upgraded to a five-star hotel.

Victoria had no opinion on this. She would accept it since she was here. She understood that Yang Ming still needed some time to arrange her identity, so she wasn’t in a hurry.

Yang Hua also had a similar idea as Victoria. However, it was her first time staying in such a luxurious hotel, so she couldn’t get used to it. As she looked at the magnificent room, it was totally a world of difference between the broken house in Vietnam!

Yang Hua finally understood why so many girls wanted to marry even if they were to spend all their money. This was the qualitative change of life; these were completely two worlds.

Seeing the cautious look of the hotel waiter, Yang Hua also knew that Yang Ming was definitely a very powerful person here. She thought that her brother-in-law was also very powerful in Vietnam, but the benefits that her brother-in-law brought were too little in comparison.

Yang Hua wasn’t a materialistic girl. She thought so much because she also wanted her sister, Yang Mei, to come to China to enjoy her life. Her sister was only a little older than Yang Hua, but she could shoulder much more than her younger sister!

Alice apparently used to live in a similar hotel, so she didn’t seem to have any problems. She was just a little annoyed that Yang Ming ignored her, and he went to do his business.

When Yang Ming left, he had explained to Victoria and Yang Hua, but he didn’t say anything to Alice. Yang Ming didn’t forget about it, but it was obvious that Yang Ming was intentional. Yang Ming was going to give her the cold shoulder.

Of course, Yang Ming must also know that with Alice’s identity and wealth in her hands, she didn’t need Yang Ming to provide her with any help in Song Jiang. As for what she said about going to school with Yang Ming, she could do it herself.

“Brother, I am here in Song Jiang.”
