361 A Very Strange Thing

“It’s good to have a car already. Did you think we are like those cool foreign criminal gangs? Would we drive the Rolls-Royce everywhere we go? Some friends gave me this car. Let’s get by with this scrapped Jetta.” Hou Zhenhan smiled, “When you drive it, it feels like a helicopter. Even the clutch had to be activated several times to get it to work.”

“Let me feel it!” Yang Ming said, “I’m about to go out and do something.”

“Brother Yang, this car can be difficult to drive. Are you okay with it?” Hou Zhenhan warned him.

“It’s okay. No matter how hard it is to drive it, it can’t be as bad as the broken car in our driving school.” Yang Ming sat in the driver’s seat and slammed the accelerator.

“That’s true too, but you should be careful.” Hou Zhenhan said.

As an assassin, how can be I picky with which car to drive? Yang Ming was actually training his adaptability, but fortunately, this car wasn’t as difficult to drive as Yang Ming imagined it would be. The engine only died once when he was starting it, and then there had been no problem after that.

“Wait for me for a while here.” Yang Ming told Hou Zhenhan, “I need to do something.”

“Okay.” Hou Zhenhan nodded.

Yang Ming came to Lin Zhiyun’s doorstep and knocked on the door. The one who opened the door was actually Shen Yueping.

“Aunty Shen? Weren’t you out?” Yang Ming asked.

“Not yet. Xiao Yang, how come you’re here so early today?” Shen Yueping asked with a smile, “Missing Little Yun Er?”

Shen Yueping made Yang Ming’s face flush as he said, “Hehe, a bit.”

“I was about to go out. You go ahead and play with Yun Er. Her leg hasn’t fully recovered yet. Don’t play too extreme!” Shen Yueping wanted to mention to Yang Ming not to play some games that had “females on top of men,” but instead, because she was an elder, it was hard to say such words, so she could only remind him ambiguously.

“Okay, Aunty Shen, you can rest assured.” Yang Ming didn’t know what she meant and just vaguely agreed with her. The two confused people thought that they understood each other, so they didn’t speak further.

After Shen Yueping left, Yang Ming entered the house. Lin Zhiyun obviously hadn’t got up that long ago. She was still brushing her teeth in the bathroom. She didn’t close the bathroom door and Yang Ming could see her.

“Wait for me. I’ll be ready right away…” Lin Zhiyun’s mouth was full of bubbles and said vaguely.

“No worries. No hurry. You go ahead and brush slowly.” Yang Ming said.

“Okay!” Lin Zhiyun rinsed her toothbrush and left her gargle cup on the shelf. She then wiped her mouth with a towel.

“How’s your leg? It seemed like you’re much better now?” Yang Ming said with joy looking at Lin Zhiyun who had been able to walk.

“Well, much better. It’s not painful as long as I don’t exert pressure on it. The medicine yesterday was very effective.” Lin Zhiyun said.

“Let’s get a bottle later on, so I can pour some for you. I’ll return the remainder later.” Yang Ming said.

“I think there’s no need for that. I’m almost done with my recovery. Just apply some medicine and it’ll be fine already.” Lin Zhiyun shook her head and said.

“It’s alright. This medicine is very effective. It’s good to leave some at your home.” Yang Ming said, “It doesn’t expire anyway.”

“En, okay then. Right, Yang Ming, why didn’t you go to class today? How come you came so early in the morning?” Lin Zhiyun asked.

“I’m going out to run some errands today, and I came over to see you on the way.” Yang Ming said, “You should have a rest. I’m going to return the medicine.”

Yang Ming remembered the strange incident the other day. He felt very unsettled in his heart. If he didn’t investigate it clearly, this matter would always remain as a knot in Yang Ming’s heart. He decided that he might as well investigate it sooner to get the clues faster.

“Okay, then you quickly go!” Lin Zhiyun naturally couldn’t bother him once she knew that Yang Ming had a matter to deal with although she didn’t have much to do at home and hoped that Yang Ming would accompany her.

“Right. You don’t have much to do at home, do you? Let me get you a computer.” Yang Ming went to the doorstep and suddenly thought of this problem, so he turned back and asked.

“Computer? It’s alright! I will recover very soon…” How would Lin Zhiyun want more of Yang Ming’s things again? Even right now their relationship was a bit unclear. If she wanted more, then the relationship between the two of them…

“En, let’s talk about this next time.” Yang Ming said, “Don’t think too much.”

Lin Zhiyun also felt helpless when Yang Ming insisted. Even though Yang Ming had been very gentle and considerate to her these few days, he was full of chauvinistic behavior and had a very overbearing character. This could be seen from his violent attack on Wu Xinkai! Therefore, Lin Zhiyun wouldn’t win going against him. She could only go along with Yang Ming.

Yang Ming walked out of Lin Zhiyun’s home and quickly came to Fang Tian’s house without stopping in between. Without the urgency from last time, Yang Ming first observed the situation in Fang Tian’s house with his X-ray vision. Everything was normal and there was nothing strange inside.

Was it really an illusion the other day? Yang Ming thought about it with some doubts.

“Young man… Why don’t you go in?” Suddenly, a voice came from behind Yang Ming. Yang Ming was scared until he quivered. My grandmother! It’s once again happening in complete silence. I didn’t even feel anyone appearing behind me!

Yang Ming turned his head back immediately. Unfortunately, there was nothing behind him. However, this time Yang Ming didn’t intend to let it go easily. Yang Ming carefully scanned all the corners behind him including the houses of other people. However, there was nothing suspicious.

Yang Ming’s scalp felt numb. Can I be that unlucky? How can I encounter such a strange phenomenon every time I come here?

However, Yang Ming wasn’t a timid person. He could only forcefully continue forward! He took out the key to open the door. Then, Yang Ming entered Fang Tian’s house.

Yang Ming had opened the door of the room inside, but he suddenly stopped there when he was about to step forward. His jaw had dropped as he looked at the scene unbelievably! It was lucky that Yang Ming’s concentration was better than the average, or else the medicine bottle in his hand would have dropped to the ground!

Sitting on the bed where Fang Tian normally slept was an old man staring at him with eyes that were full of expression!

When did he come in? Yang Ming felt that he was going insane. Just now, I clearly saw that there was no one in the house! How did this old man… Could it be that he was talking to me just now?

“Excuse me, sir, you are…” Yang Ming asked cautiously. Intuition told him that this guy was definitely an expert. Could he be a ghost? Yang Ming didn’t believe that!

“Are you Yang Ming?” The old man suddenly raised his head and looked at Yang Ming with a fierce light in his eyes.

“Yes, I’m Yang Ming.” Yang Ming didn’t deny it and nodded directly. Since the old man asked this question, he must have investigated it clearly, so there was no point for Yang Ming to lie.

“En, not bad. Want to learn some skills from me?” The old man asked.

“Skills? Learn what kind of skills? What can you teach me?” Yang Ming was somewhat confused. An old man suddenly appeared to teach him some skills, anyone would be confused with such an encounter.

“You are the apprentice of Fang Tian.” The old man said, “His master saved my life.”

“So you want to teach me the skills because you want to pay a debt of gratitude?” Yang Ming was getting more and more confused. If you want to show your gratitude, why don’t you teach Fang Tian? Why is there such a generation gap in teaching?

“These are part of the reasons, but not completely. There’s another very important reason.” The old man said.

“What’s the reason?” Yang Ming asked.

“I can’t tell you.” The old man said.

When Yang Ming heard the old man, he almost fell to the ground. Are there people who are that straightforward? This is the same as saying nothing! Yang Ming was a little confused, How did this old man even find me in the first place?

“Fang Tian asked you to come?” Yang Ming could only think that way, and his encounter only had this possibility. Presently, only Fang Tian and Dong Jun knew about his relationship with Fang Tian.

“He’s not qualified to order me to do anything.” The old man said faintly, “Although his master had saved my life, I have already repaid it in other ways. So, from the point of view of repaying a kindness, I don’t owe him anything else.”

“Then you are…” Yang Ming had completely lost his train of thought. This person wasn’t sent by Fang Tian, and yet he knew about his background…

“Don’t worry. I won’t hurt you.” The old man smiled and said, “I’m here because someone wanted me to be here. However, I can’t talk too much with you now. Just one question, do you want to learn?”

“Yes… but you have to tell me, what can you teach me?” Yang Ming didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. Are there people who would force others like this?

“Medical skills. As an assassin, if you know medical skills, your chances of death will be greatly reduced.” The old man said.

“Medical skills? Are you a doctor?” No matter how Yang Ming looked at this old man, He didn’t look like a doctor. His ability to appear and disappear without trace qualified him as world-class kungfu master, but to say he was a doctor…

“You don’t need to care about who I am. Since you have agreed, then this book is handed over to you.” The old man said, “Okay, my mission is finished. I should go!”

As he spoke, the old man took out a book from his shirt and gave it to Yang Ming. Then, in a short moment, he disappeared without a trace.
