Chapter 1264: My Name Is Yang Ming
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Yang Ming used only a moment to change his expression from a devil-like smile to a cold expression. A sudden chill crept upon Wang Renping. He had no doubt that Yang Ming would do this.
Wang Renping still didn’t know which side’s power Yang Ming was on and what Yang Ming wanted him to do. However, Wang Renping was not stupid. He had already guessed that the reason Yang Ming came this time should be related to the resentment between the Sun Family and Tian Long.
As Wang Renping thought of this, his heart calmed down. He thought of a phrase, Everything that has a beginning has an end.
From the day he betrayed the Sun Family, Wang Renping understood that one day, someone powerful from the Sun Family would look for him, but he had to do it!
On the one hand, he owed money to Tian Long; on the other hand, his grandparents were controlled by Tian Long. Of course, with the current economic strength of Wang Renping, it was a breeze to pay back the money that he owed Tian Long. Back then, Sun Hongjun did not treat him coldly. Wang Renping also received a lot of red packets [1] and benefits from him!
But when Wang Renping mentioned to Tian Long that he wanted to pay back the money, Tian Long smiled and waved as he told Wang Renping not to worry; Wang Renping couldn’t help that Tian Long did not want the money back. Wang Renping also understood that Tian Long wanted him to owe this favor, but it was Tian Long who extended a helping hand at the most difficult moment which Wang Renping couldn’t help with it.
This reason was actually not the main one. If Wang Renping really wanted to fall out with Tian Long, it was enough just to pay back forcibly the money owed, but Wang Renping couldn’t do this! Because his grandparents were still within the scope of Tian Long’s sphere of influence, Tian Long would definitely use this as blackmail. In desperation, Wang Renping would do so many things for Tian Long.
But now, before Tian Long’s success, others had already come to look for him.
“Whatever I can do, I will do my best.” Wang Renping said after a deep breath. His grandparents were in the hands of others, how could Wang Renping dare not do as he was told?
“Great.” Yang Ming didn’t expect to make a breakthrough with Wang Renping so easily; he thought he had to go through a lot of trouble. However, after thinking about it, it was normal.
I have struck the lifeline of Wang Renping; this is the only thing that Wang Renping can’t ignore, family. Therefore, under this threat and pressure, Wang Renping has no choice but to compromise.
Yang Ming was very satisfied with Wang Renping’s attitude. He turned around and closed the door behind him, then said to Wang Renping, “I think you have already guessed why I came to look for you?”
This was considered a very safe place, so Yang Ming decided to implement his own plan here.
Just as Yang Ming had expected, Wang Renping nodded.
“How is the Sun Family? Are they safe?” asked Yang Ming as he looked at Wang Renping’s eyes. At this time, Yang Ming was not afraid that Wang Renping would lie, but there was nothing wrong with being a little cautious.
“Brother Long just put the Sun Family under house arrest and didn’t hurt them,” said Wang Renping truthfully.
Yang Ming nodded. This was the same as what Tian Donghua said before. At least, the Sun Family was not in danger, so Yang Ming was relieved. Recalling Tian Donghua, Yang Ming quickly asked, “Tian Donghua? Do you know where he went?”
“Grand Young Master, he… is also under house arrest by Brother Long…” When it came to this, Wang Renping suddenly realized something. He looked at Yang Ming with some surprise. “I got it! I know who you are!”
“Oh?” When Yang Ming heard Wang Renping say this, he became interested. He assessed Wang Renping up and down and said, “You know who I am?”
“You are Yang Ming! Grand Young Master’s classmate!” Wang Renping nodded and said affirmatively.
“Hehe, you are smart. How did you guess it?” asked Yang Ming as he looked at Wang Renping with great interest.
“You asked me about the Grand Young Master, which means that you are familiar with the Grand Young Master. You care about the Sun Family, which means that you have a very close relationship with the Sun Family,” analyzed Wang Renping. “Moreover, your age should be similar to that of the Grand Young Master. From the above points, I can speculate that you are Yang Ming!”
When Tian Donghua and Tian Long quarreled because of Yang Ming, Wang Renping was in the room next to him, so he knew about Yang Ming. This was also why he could immediately guess who Yang Ming was.
“Yes, I am Yang Ming.” Yang Ming appreciated Wang Renping’s quick-wit. No wonder such a person could gain the trust and appreciation of Song Hongjun, but he did not expect him to be Tian Long’s man. But after this time, perhaps he would never devote himself to Tian Long again.
“No wonder Brother Long said that you are a difficult character.” Wang Renping sighed and said, “I thought that since you were just a college student, what abilities can you have? When I saw it today… I know that I had really underestimated you! You can actually find my grandparents’ residence, settle the two bodyguards outside, and kidnap my grandparents away. This strength should not be underestimated!”
“What you see is just the tip of the iceberg.” said Yang Ming faintly, “Originally, you must die after this incident, but you should thank your grandparents. Their words made me change my mind.”
“What words?” Wang Renping didn’t think about living anymore; he didn’t believe that Yang Ming would let him go. All he prayed for was that Yang Ming wouldn’t harm the innocent and let go of his grandparents.
But now, listening to the words of Yang Ming, it seemed that Yang Ming could let him go. Naturally, Wang Renping became spirited.
“You borrowed money from Tian Long to treat them. Then you had to do things for him and be held back by him. It seems that you are a filial son, so you were forced to do all this. I will let you go.” Yang Ming said this to give Wang Renping some reassurance, telling him that as long as he was doing things for Yang Ming, then there was the hope of reuniting with his grandparents. Yang Ming would also not kill him. This was also a kind of psychological suggestion that a strong desire to survive could make him unswerving.
This was the only chance to overthrow Tian Long. Yang Ming did not allow any mistakes to happen in the middle, so that was why he would treat Wang Renping with mercy and pressure. Although Wang Renping was under duress, Yang Ming could still show him some hope. This way, Yang Ming wasn’t afraid that Wang Renping wouldn’t work hard.
Wang Renping took a deep breath; he couldn’t judge whether Yang Ming’s words were true or false. He didn’t know if Yang Ming would honor the promise afterward, but having hope was always good.
“Thank you.” Wang Renping nodded. “Since this matter has proceeded to this point, just tell me what you want me to do.”
“How many of the higher-ups in the Sun Family company are participating in Tian Long’s plan?” asked Yang Ming.
“About more than thirty people…” said Wang Renping after he thought about it.
“Specifically, how many people?!” Yang Ming frowned. As for this ambiguous answer, Yang Ming was very annoyed. This was a crucial matter. If a person was left out, it might lead to the failure of the whole plan! Therefore, Yang Ming did not allow any omissions.
“Thirty-two people!” Wang Renping hesitated and said.
“Are you sure?” Yang Ming glanced at Wang Renping and asked again.
“I’m sure! Including me, there are thirty-three people!” said Wang Renping affirmatively.
“Well, you call them now and have them come here. You don’t need me to teach you how to make it sound believable,” said Yang Ming faintly. “However, as long as the flaws are not revealed and Tian Long becomes vigilant, you can imagine the consequences yourself.”
Wang Renping nodded. He naturally knew the seriousness of this. He picked up the phone and dialed the phone in the order of the phone book.
“Hello? President Zhang? This is Wang Renping…” Wang Renping’s tone was plain. Even if the person on the other side was a manager, he didn’t have a flattering tone.
President Zhang, on the other side, who heard that it was Wang Renping, immediately became enthusiastic. “Secretary Wang, hello! Is there anything the matter?”
“Come to my old house now. I have a few things to tell you.” Wang Renping’s tone was natural, and it did not reveal any flaws.
“Oh? Okay, okay, I will go over right now!” As expected, President Zhang wouldn’t think too much. Wang Renping’s words represented Tian Long’s intention in most cases, so President Zhang was naturally very respectful to Wang Renping. Moreover, when Wang Renping told him to come to talk about things, President Zhang was obviously thrilled. He thought this was a good opportunity to get close to Wang Renping.
Wang Renping hung up the phone and dialed another number. “Hello? Is it Uncle Ma? This is Wang Renping…”
This Uncle Ma was a veteran who carved a career with Tian Long, but after receiving a call from Wang Renping, his attitude was still very harmonious. It couldn’t be helped. This situation had existed since ancient times; the emperor’s ministers still didn’t dare to offend the emperor’s eunuch.
“Secretary Wang, hello. Why do you look for me at such a late hour?” asked Uncle Ma.
“This is how it is. Are you free now?” asked Wang Renping. “Come to my old house. I am looking for you for something.”
Many of Tian Long’s orders were issued by Wang Renping, so Uncle Ma naturally did not dare to neglect. Since Wang Renping said that he looked for Uncle Ma for something, Uncle Ma naturally went. “Okay, then I will go over now…”
Yang Ming watched Wang Renping make his phone calls one by one, and it was very smooth. He could settle each person in almost a few words, so Yang Ming lamented that he really found the right person! This thing was most suitable for Wang Renping to do!
It seemed that Wang Renping was quite prestigious among these people.
When the last call was made, Wang Renping breathed a sigh of relief. He said to Yang Ming, “Mr. Yang, I have already invited these people here according to your command. Maybe they will arrive soon. What do you need me to do next?”
“After they enter the door, you say that there are important things to discuss. Let them hand in communication device and weapons,” informed Yang Ming to Wang Renping after he thought about it.
“It’s okay to hand over the communication devices, but weapons…” Wang Renping paused then said, “It is normal to hand in communication devices when we are in a meeting, but weapons have never been taken away. If I collect their weapons this time, they will certainly have doubts. If the situation can’t be controlled and something wrong happens…”
Wang Renping was now also thinking for Yang Ming; it couldn’t be helped since his grandparents were in Yang Ming’s hands. He had no other way but to turn to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming nodded after listening to Wang Renping’s words. These people were armed with weapons. Yang Ming was not afraid; after all, he was an assassin. Moreover, with the flying needles in his hands, could he be afraid of them?
Taking away the weapons was just a safety measure. Since Wang Renping said so, it didn’t matter if the weapons were not collected.
“Then just collect the communication devices,” said Yang Ming after listening.
“But…” Wang Renping was in a difficult position at this time. He was initially on the opposite side of Yang Ming, but now he had become Yang Ming’s ally. He couldn’t help but think for Yang Ming. Once Yang Ming failed, his grandfather and grandmother’s whereabouts would be unknown. Wang Renping naturally did not want to see this happen, so he had to help Yang Ming. “When they have weapons, will they still listen to you?”
“Don’t think that I can only use tricks to coerce others.” Yang Ming smiled. “They can’t stir up any trouble.”
Seeing that Yang Ming said so with confidence, Wang Renping also couldn’t be helped. At this moment, he could only believe that Yang Ming had a solution.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Yang Ming gave an eye signal to Wang Renping and went into the kitchen in a flash, while Wang Renping opened the door.
The person who came was Wang Renping’s first call, President Zhang. After arriving, President Zhang saw Wang Renping and quickly said, “Secretary Wang, hello. What are you looking for me for?”
“President Zhang, please hand over your communication device first,” said Wang Renping.
“Oh? Okay, okay!” President Zhang also participated in the high-level meetings of Tian Long before. He knew the rules at the meetings, so he did not hesitate to take out his phone, turn it off, and hand it over to Wang Renping.
President Zhang not only did not feel that something was wrong, but was very happy. The more important the meeting was, the more it meant that he was valued. President Zhang was naturally delighted!
“President Zhang, please enter and rest first. Some people have not come yet. After they come, we will discuss business.” Wang Renping’s expression was very natural. It was reasonable that he could control it well on the phone calls; after all, it was not face-to-face. Now that Wang Renping was in a situation where he had to do things face-to-face, and he did not show the slightest nervousness, it showed that Wang Renping’s psychological quality was outstanding!
Yang Ming looked at the situation at the door with his special abilities from the kitchen. He felt that this Wang Renping was really a talent. No wonder he could get the Sun Hongjun’s trust; he seemed to be a sly character.
In the absence of any suspicion, President Zhang entered the living room of the old house and waited. Then, other people continued to come. At the request of Wang Renping, they all handed over their communication devices.
However, while others were okay, only one person showed doubts. This person was Li Baihu. Like Wang Renping, he was also one of the most trusted people around Tian Long.
“Brother Wang, I don’t have to hand over the phone, right?” Li Baihu frowned and asked.
“Brother Hu, this is the rule, you understand.” Wang Renping did not show any nervousness at all. He said it in neither an obsequious nor supercilious way.
“Brother Wang, why did you call for so many people? Is it Brother Long’s intention?” Li Baihu looked inside the room and asked.
“Why? You don’t believe it?” Wang Renping snorted. “Do you want me to call Brother Long to let him tell you?”
Li Baihu looked at Wang Renping and said, “That’s not necessary!” After that, he took out his mobile phone, turned it off, and threw it into the small basket in front of Wang Renping.
Although Li Baihu’s heart was a little dissatisfied, he really didn’t dare to let Wang Renping call Tian Long and ask him! He also knew that during this time, Wang Renping’s status had advanced by leaps and bounds and that Wang Renping had already overtaken him. So, what Wang Renping said could really represent what Tian Long said. Li Baihu commented like this because he was dissatisfied and wanted to take the opportunity to find fault.
“Brother Hu!” “Hello, Brother Hu!” “Brother Hu is here!”
Li Baihu was also a famous person around Tian Long, so after entering the house, everyone greeted him. The feeling of being superior and bad*ass satisfied Li Baihu’s ego, and he forgot the previous unpleasant experience.
It seems that I am still very prestigious! Li Baihu thought this way in his heart.
Wang Renping locked the door and walked into the room. The room immediately became quiet; even Li Baihu closed his mouth. However, his superiority was suddenly broken by the arrival of Wang Renping, which made his heart more unhappy.
“I asked everyone to come here to discuss a serious matter…” As Wang Renping spoke until here, he glanced at the door. At this time, Yang Ming also came in.
Li Baihu was dissatisfied with Wang Renping’s tone. At this time, he couldn’t resist but say, “What’s the serious matter? It’s so late, and you still don’t let others sleep?”
Perhaps only Li Baihu dared to talk to Wang Renping like this. Everyone looked at Li Baihu and Wang Renping as an onlooker to see how Wang Renping would respond.
However, Wang Renping did not care about Li Baihu but moved aside. At this time, a young man came in…
“If you don’t want to die, just shut up!” Yang Ming glanced at Li Baihu coldly and walked to the center of the room, standing proudly in front of these people.
“Who are you?” Li Baihu and others had never seen Yang Ming before, so when they saw an unfamiliar person come in suddenly, they were shocked.
Because Wang Renping was the most important person around Tian Long, the people naturally thought that he was not an ordinary character because he was brought over by Wang Renping; maybe he was sent by Tian Long. Therefore, before these people were clear about Yang Ming’s true identity, they dared not express anything lightly. Otherwise, when Tian Long pursued them about it, then it would be a big deal!
These people didn’t know Yang Ming’s background. Hearing that Yang Ming’s tone was very firm, they immediately settled down, including Li Baihu. He just asked Yang Ming who he was, and didn’t dare to speak out!
“My name is Yang Ming. I don’t know if you have heard of me?”
