So Pure, So Flirtatious Chapter 1088 - The Last Night

Obviously, Lu Xinyang’s words reminded Yang Ming of the purpose of these people. This way, it could be explained why they were robbing the bank as if they were performing a task. Moreover, they threw the money from the robbery on the roadside.

In fact, the employer’s purpose in doing this was very simple. It was to confuse the crowd to think that this group was a gang that continued to commit crimes, rather than targeting specifically for the jewelry.

However, why did the employer want to create such an illusion? He spent money to hire people, and even if they specifically targeted the jewelry, there was nothing wrong with it. This involved a problem that Sun Jie once spoke of, which was the issue of internal people committing the crime.

That was to say, only when the employer was an insider would he do something extra to stay clear from it. However, the more he did so, the more it revealed his ident.i.ty.

Yang Ming called Chen Fei once again to confirm his and Lu Xinyang’s speculation. “Uncle Chen, I wanted to ask. What will happen after those people succeeded?”

“According to their account, after they succeeded, they would spray their mark, ‘S.B.,’ in the exhibition hall. Then, they will bring the robbed jewelry to the crossroads in front of the exhibition center. However, I sent people there, and there were no results. Probably the matters here have already alerted the employers behind him.” Chen Fei said, “It would be a bit difficult to catch the people behind-the-scenes.”

“I got it…” Yang Ming nodded after listening to Chen Fei’s words and fell into deep thought.

Could it be that the matter is really solved? Although there is no instigator behind the scenes, at least, the people he hired are all settled. However, this has no effect on the employer behind-the-scenes. These people are arrested, and he will not lose anything. Instead, he will not have to pay the rewards.

Mercenary groups operated as such. If they succeeded, they got to take the money. If they died or got caught, they had to bear the consequences. This made Yang Ming very unhappy.

It seems that in the future, I could relax some of the vigilance… Wait! Yang Ming’s heart was suddenly shocked. He felt that something wrong was not taken into consideration!

Things couldn’t be so simple. With the power of the behind-the-scenes employer, did he not have something up his sleeve? Would he put all his hopes on these mercenaries?

Moreover, the most important thing was that this second time when stealing the jewelry, it was obviously different from the first time when the bank was robbed. When the first robbery was carried out, it was obviously well done. It was a quick execution. It did not wait until the police arrived, and the battle ended.

However, the second time was different. The jewelry robbery was no better than robbing the bank. It was impossible to execute quickly like the bank robbery. Moreover, the security in the jewelry exhibition was obviously much stricter than that of the small savings bank, so the implementation was very difficult. It was easy to have such deviations. The employer behind-the-scenes couldn’t ignore this!

If the behind-the-scenes employer took this into consideration and planned accordingly, then there was only one possibility left – this robbery was just a bluff. The actual one was still behind!

On the other side of Chen Fei, there was another piece of news. The person who used the lead camera on the showcase was also hired. After collecting ten million, he made the previous move. The intention was not to rob! He only followed the employer’s plan and attracted the attention of the security guards in the exhibition area on the first day. He only took action the next day.

Now, although it was not clear whether this person and the subsequent robbery gang were connected, it should be the case, based on the time of occurrence.

First of all, the behind-the-scenes employer used the blue down jacket man as the first bait to attract the attention of the exhibition area security. At the same time that the blue down jacket man made a radical move, the robbery gang made use of the commotion and implemented the robbery plan.

Although there were two groups of people who were not connected, it was very likely that they were employed by the same person at the same time.

In this case, then the two groups had completed the purpose of creating a diversion! However, this strategy of creating a diversion was probably also a cover-up. The real trick of the person behind-the-scenes had not been used yet. Yang Ming didn’t dare to relax a little.

Yang Ming did not believe that the behind-the-scenes person did not have his own level of power. For such an important plan, it was difficult for someone who did not have his own people to rely on.

Or, he simply thought that it was too difficult to complete the task by relying on these mercenaries. Otherwise, it was not possible to be so rea.s.sured and bold to let them rob the jewelry! It was because he probably didn’t think they could succeed at all.

The value of the jewelry was tremendous. Compared with the rewards he paid to mercenaries, the difference was staggering. These mercenaries must have known the value of the jewelry in advance. It was merely silly for them to hand over the jewelry after they succeeded. It was blatantly stupid!

In other words, the employer only used these mercenaries as a tool. As for delivering the goods at the crossroads, the employer probably did not send people to retrieve it.

As he thought of this, Yang Ming had a general idea of the whole incident.

“We still have to go all out.” Yang Ming informed Li Qiang, “Especially tonight. Don’t take it lightly.”

The exhibition center was just like yesterday. It closed very smoothly, and tourists had left the exhibition hall. The merchants also systematically cleaned up their respective showcases.

The previously destroyed showcase in the exhibition area was also replaced with a new one, and the security guards on duty also raised their alertness. The matters today made them all extraordinarily nervous.

This night was even longer than yesterday. After all, there were no accidents during the day. Although everyone was nervous, it was not as nerve-wracking. Today was entirely different.

No one could guarantee whether the person behind-the-scenes would make a move or not after the failure. It was unpredictable.

Yang Ming still sat in a minivan [1] near the convention center, watching the movements of the entire exhibition hall.

Another night was over, and it was not what Yang Ming had expected. It was calm as if there was no such occurrence in the daytime.

Yang Ming breathed a sigh of relief, but he was a bit baffled. Would the other party just give up like this? It was reasonable to say that it should not be. The other party should be waiting for an opportunity to make another move again. However, with regard to when would they make a move, it was not something he could predict. Moreover, Lu Xinyang had no idea about this.

“I’m not a resurrected Zhuge Liang… Naturally, I cannot predict it.” Lu Xinyang shrugged and smiled. “Maybe it is daytime; maybe it will be nighttime; maybe a robbery; maybe a theft. All of it is possible.”

Yang Ming naturally knew that no one could actually make guarantees on things that had not happened.

However, what made Yang Ming baffled was that during the day on the third day, there was no movement until the exhibition hall was closed. The visitors left, and there was no situation similar to yesterday.

During the night, Yang Ming did not relax his vigilance, but it was still a quiet night.

The day and night on the fourth day were still the same. The calmness was scary, as if the other party really gave up, which made Yang Ming helpless.

“I have probably guessed the other’s intentions.” On the fifth night, Lu Xinyang hesitated and said to Yang Ming.

Lu Xinyang only accompanied Yang Ming at night. He slept during the day, so his spirit was exceptionally better. However, Yang Ming could not sleep. In the past five days, he only slept for about ten hours in total.

Although Yang Ming had undergone rigorous training, he was also a bit lacking at the moment. He had a pair of bloodshot eyes. He was awake, but his physical strength was also empty.

“What is the intention?” Yang Ming still focused on using his special ability to lock on the exhibition hall.

“The person behind-the-scenes may have already guessed that we will be more strict after the incident on the second day.” Lu Xinyang a.n.a.lyzed, “If nothing happens on the third day, we still have to be vigilant on the fourth day. The fifth day will also be the same… There is a piece of cla.s.sical literature which says the first drumming cheers them up, then the second weakens, while the third devitalized ¹ . Our daily security measure will definitely be exhausted, and the last day is the most exhausting and most lax. Everyone will feel that there will be nothing to do after the last night, but often, this time is the most dangerous. Our people will be exhausted at that time. It is very easy for the latter to carry out the robbery or theft.”

“Indeed…” Yang Ming thought about it and nodded, “So, tomorrow night and the day after tomorrow are the most dangerous moments?”

“It should be the case!” Lu Xinyang nodded, “Of course, this is just my guess!”

The day after tomorrow was the last day of the exhibition. After the end, the owners of various manufacturers and jewels would withdraw the jewels on display, and if there were any accidents after the withdrawal, it would not be related to Yang Ming. In other words, the time before the jewelry was withdrawn was what Yang Ming should pay attention to and beware of.

During the daytime on the sixth day, it was also over very smoothly. As Lu Xinyang expected, the highest rate of robbery was concentrated on the sixth and seventh days.

The possibility of theft on the sixth night was the greatest.

Under Yang Ming’s deliberate arrangement, the security guards on duty began to appear drowsy, and even the security guards patrolling outside began to become slack.

Of course, in this way, Yang Ming made an abnormal gesture to warn the person behind-the-scenes. On the first five nights, all the security guards were in a state of alert. Only on the last night, the security guards were burnt out. This obvious abnormal situation could be cla.s.sified as “the second drumming weakens, while the third drumming devitalized.” The discerning person could see that this gesture was intentional.

Although Yang Ming was also very interested in the person behind-the-scenes, he also understood that even if he once again caught the thief who was sent by the person behind-the-scenes, there would not be much gain.

The person being sent over would not know much. The person behind-the-scenes definitely would not send people who knew a lot over! Therefore, Yang Ming really did not want to do useless work and cause more trouble.

Yang Ming would deal with the other matters in the future. He wanted to proceed with the jewelry exhibition smoothly first.

Of course, if this gesture couldn’t scare off the person behind-the-scenes, Yang Ming didn’t mind playing with him anymore. He would follow Sun Jie’s idea to play dirty tricks from behind.

Yang Ming sat in the minivan and still watched the exhibition hall of the entire exhibition center.

The first half of the night had pa.s.sed. Nothing happened.

At about three in the morning, a black Mercedes-Benz van stopped at the roadside after an intersection from the exhibition hall. After the car’s engine stopped, no one immediately got off.

The exhibition hall was not in the center of the city, but rather at a place that deviated from the commercial area. There were few residential areas nearby. It was a large-scale enterprise and science park. It was fine during the day, but there was basically no one at night.

It was precisely this which allowed Yang Ming to monitor the movements of the exhibition center in about a one-kilometer radius conveniently. Basically, everything was inanimate. As soon as an animal appeared, Yang Ming would immediately notice it.

Therefore, when the Mercedes-Benz van stopped on the roadside, it raised Yang Ming’s vigilance. Regardless of whether anyone was in the car, Yang Ming checked the people in the car with his special ability.

There were not many people in the car, only two. One was a driver; the other was a very thin black-s.h.i.+rted man. At this moment, he was using an infrared night vision device to observe the situation outside the window.

Yang Ming’s heart s.h.i.+vered. The main character was finally here. Yang Ming naturally did not believe that ordinary citizens would have nothing to do in the middle of the night and take an infrared night vision device to look at the scenery on the street.

What this person was doing was obviously to observe whether there was an ambush nearby.

Yang Ming still had no energy to set up a patrol to cover a one-kilometer radius of the exhibition hall. The observation of that person obviously made him very satisfied. After the black-s.h.i.+rted man observed for a while, he put away the infrared night vision device and put another pair of infrared night vision goggles on his face.

Night vision goggles, like the night vision device, could be used for night vision, but they were not as powerful and professional.

The black-s.h.i.+rted man hung a rucksack on his shoulders, and then quickly jumped off. He stealthily went in the direction of the exhibition hall.

Yang Ming gave a slight smile but did not give Li Qiang any instructions because Yang Ming also wanted to see Li Qiang’s ability to adapt. Even if the black-s.h.i.+rted man succeeds in the end, isn’t there an oriole stalking behind ² like me?

The black-s.h.i.+rted man lurked near the convention hall. He did not approach directly but used binoculars to observe the security of the exhibition hall.

When he saw the scene that Yang Ming deliberately arranged, he was obviously shocked! Probably, he had never seen such burnt-out security guards! One by one, walking slowly, and even a guy was sleeping in the corner.

The expression of the black-s.h.i.+rted man changed, and his face was full of doubt and hesitation.

Yang Ming was a little amused to observe this black-s.h.i.+rted man. It seemed that his arrangement had worked. It inflicted some sort of psychological pressure on this black-s.h.i.+rted man.

Sure enough, the black-s.h.i.+rted man didn’t dare to make a move, but rather, he took out a phone and dialed a phone number. Unfortunately, he used a shortcut key to dial. Yang Ming couldn’t see the phone number of the person behind-the-scenes.

However, even if Yang Ming saw it, it was probably a temporary number. With the caution of the person behind-the-scenes, he would not be exposed by these subtle things.

Yang Ming naturally no longer cared about these. He stared at the black-s.h.i.+rted man’s lips carefully, wanting to see what he said.

“Boss, the exhibition hall is a bit strange.” The black-s.h.i.+rted man said concisely.

” Oh ? What’s so strange?” Yang Ming naturally couldn’t hear the voice over the phone. Yang Ming could understand the lip language, but couldn’t interpret the cell phone signal.

“The patrol security guards near the exhibition hall are sloppy. There are not strict. They are like different people from the day,” said the black-s.h.i.+rted man.

At this moment, Yang Ming could also be completely sure that this black-s.h.i.+rted man came for the jewelry of the exhibition hall.

“Sloppy? They are like a different people?” After listening to the black-s.h.i.+rted man, the boss thought about it and said, ” Hehe , I didn’t expect it. I played some tricks, but Yang Ming did the same. He came up with a trick to loosen the reins only to grasp us better. He wants to scare us directly, but we are letting him down. Proceed with the original plan!”

“Okay, I understand.” The black-s.h.i.+rted man nodded and hung up.

Although Yang Ming didn’t know what the boss said to the black-s.h.i.+rted man, according to his behavior, the person behind-the-scenes must have given him the order to continue.

……

The boss hung up the phone and snorted. He said to the other young man in his thirties, “Yang Ming played a trick to loosen the reins only to grasp us better. He made all the security guards pretend to be sloppy…”

” Oh ? Isn’t this Yang Ming quite smart?” After the young military adviser listened, he snorted with some disdain. “He actually guessed that we will act tonight!”

“In fact, it is not difficult to guess it. There was nothing in the last few nights. The last night is tonight. If it is not tonight, it will be the daytime tomorrow,” said the boss.

“However, this is more suitable for us to act. The slacker it is, the higher the chance we will succeed.” The young man said, “Even if they are pretending, they will certainly not be as rigorous as usual.”

“This is somewhat reasonable.” The boss nodded. “I hope this action will not disappoint me.”

“Even if it is not successful, it is not a problem. This is just the beginning.” The young man spoke indifferently, “There are still many tricks in the future. I hope that Yang Ming will not die early. Otherwise, no one can play with us!”

The boss really admired the young person at this time. This person really had a natural talent to be sly. “This time, the planning is really good. I only paid the S.B. mercenaries with a deposit of five hundred thousand USD. As expected, these people have been settled by Yang Ming. We don’t have to pay the rest of the commission! Haha …”

“They were all sent over to die… Hmph !” The young man smiled smugly but thought that he would rely on the boss now, so he put on a charming smile. “However, although I know that Yang Ming is very powerful, if you didn’t tell me something else about Yang Ming, I wouldn’t have come up with this plan. After all, I think that Yang Ming wouldn’t have been able to kill the mercenaries no matter how strong he is.”
