Chapter 936: State Your Purpose
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“The business is naturally about you.” Xia Bingbao smiled, then he changed into a very comfortable position and crossed his legs. “I have told you about my identity. Do you have anything to tell us about you?”
About me? Yang Ming was shocked. The Supernatural Investigation Bureau obviously has nothing to do with me. Yang Ming didn’t think that he was involved in any supernatural incident.
What made Yang Ming shocked was the relationship between him and Xia Xue. This guy was the elder brother of Xia Xue. Is he here to accuse me? Asking me to take responsibility?
However, Yang Ming would never admit the flirtatious relationship between himself and Xia Xue, so he pretended to be inexplicable. “Xia… Investigator Xia, I think we are just meeting for the first time, right? I don’t think that I have something to say to you as we aren’t related to each other, right?”
” Hehe , Yang Ming,” Xia Bingbao smirked after listening to Yang Ming’s words. “Let’s stop beating around the bush. Since I found you, I naturally understand you. Okay, since you don’t want to say it, let’s watch a video first.”
After that, Xia Bingbao took out an MP4 player from his pocket. He turned on the power and selected one of the video files. He clicked the button to play it and put it on the table. From their positions, they could see the contents on the screen.
In the player, Yang Ming appeared, and the location was Donghai International Airport.
In the video, Yang Ming passed the security checkpoint, and he stood by and looked around. After a while, Yang Ming walked quickly to a nearby security staff member and said, ” Hey ! You confiscated my fruit knife, but the knife in the man’s bag in front is much longer than mine. Why didn’t you confiscate his knife?”
Then, the security staff asked Yang Ming, “How do you know that he has a knife in his bag?”
Yang Ming said, “You don’t have to care how I know. Why? Are you guilty? Are you in a group with him?”
“Are you sure there is a knife in his bag?” The security staff asked, “You know, lying at the airport is likely to bear legal responsibility!”
“I am sure.” In the picture, Yang Ming nodded very positively.
Subsequently, the security staff re-examined the luggage of the man named by Yang Ming. As a result, a lead umbrella was found at the bottom of his bag, and a knife was placed in the umbrella…
When he saw this, Yang Ming’s face obviously became awkward. Yang Ming didn’t expect that the matter he did inadvertently at the airport at that time was actually seen by a person with intention.
Were my special abilities discovered? Yang Ming was worried. This was his biggest secret, but now it was found. How could he not be shocked?
However, the current Yang Ming wasn’t the previous Yang Ming. After becoming an assassin, Yang Ming was mentally strong. He wouldn’t be timid because he watched the video.
Yang Ming thought that he was too immature before. At that time, he just got his special abilities. He was still thinking about how to utilize it, but instead, he got caught because of this little matter.
“Investigator Xia, why did you show me this video?” Yang Ming’s face showed a puzzled expression. “Isn’t this the video of the security check at Donghai International Airport when I went to Yunnan last summer? Why are you showing this to me?”
“Yang Ming, we both know about it. Don’t you want to admit anything?” Xia Bingbao’s ambiguity was provocative. It made people feel very guilty. If Yang Ming didn’t know that this guy was Chen Fei’s friend and Xia Xue’s elder brother, Yang Ming would have left even if he didn’t beat him up. Yang Ming wouldn’t stay there bullsh*tting with him.
Special abilities were a very mysterious thing. If Yang Ming said he had it, then he had it; if he said no, then he didn’t have it. Yang Ming was in the driver’s seat controlling the situation. Even if Yang Ming refused to admit it, Xia Bingbao could only suspect it.
Yang Ming also understood why Xia Bingbao looked for him at the moment. This Supernatural Investigation Bureau might be investigating cases about special abilities.
“Excuse me, Investigator Xia, I really didn’t understand what you mean. You showed me a video of me at the airport. What are you trying to say?” Yang Ming said faintly. There were no particular changes on his face.
Xia Bingbao admitted that he underestimated Yang Ming. Yang Ming seemed to have a deeper scheming ability than him. He thought that after he showed the video, Yang Ming would admit it directly. Now it seemed that he needed to show more evidence.
Xia Bingbao turned off the MP4 player on the table, then he took a document from the briefcase that he carried with him and handed it to Yang Ming, “I won’t read it. You read for yourself.”
Yang Ming sighed in his heart. It seems that this guy really has a trump card! But it’s right thinking about it too. If he really belongs to the Supernatural Investigation Bureau, and if he wants to investigate me, he will definitely put more effort into it. He wouldn’t come here to find me just based on one video.
Yang Ming took the file, turned it over, and looked at it. This was a case file from the police station. It was the case when he lost his jade in Yunnan, and the latter document was about the auction in Hong Kong when he and Liu Weishan auctioned Yang Ming’s jade together…
It seems that this Xia Bingbao really investigated a lot about me! What made Yang Ming feel uneasy was because the last page had his gambling record in the Nancheng Casino in Macau a few days ago!
“No offense, Yang Ming. Do you think if someone simply picks a few stones, he could get the best jade that others can’t even get in a batch of stones? You even got three at a time. What do you think are the odds of this?” Xia Bingbao shrugged and continued, “About gambling. I personally envy you. Isn’t your luck just too good? I have a full video of your gambling in the Nancheng Casino in Macau. Do you want to look?… Oh, I forgot to mention it before. You still have a lover named Huang Lele…”
“Enough!” Yang Ming threw the papers on the table and interrupted Xia Bingbao’s words coldly. In the face of so much evidence now, Yang Ming had no choice but to admit it.
“Is it? The evidence is enough? I still have some in my hands…” Xia Bingbao deliberately pretended not to hear Yang Ming’s anger.
“What do you want? Tell me your purpose.” Since the other party had gotten some of his own information, then Yang Ming didn’t want to beat around the bush or simply deny it, because it would be useless. It was better to go straight to the subject.
“Well, before I say my purpose, I will first introduce the nature of my work.” Xia Bingbao put away his subtle expression and put on a serious expression. “I belong to the Supernatural Investigation Bureau. This is a very special institution. It is normal that you have not heard of it because this institution is usually very low-key. The people working here are also extraordinary. Even if other departments know about the institution, they will cooperate to keep its confidentiality.
“The Supernatural Investigation Bureau, as its name suggests, is responsible for the mysterious, the non-scientific, the incredible. At least, it investigates cases that can’t be explained by science. For example, aliens, UFO, souls, ghosts, special abilities, etc. are all within the scope of our responsibility. It can be said that our investigation bureau can manage a lot of things, and the authority is very large and free. Therefore, the personnel of this organization needed to pass a strict assessment before they can join this institution. Besides, I’m not lying to you. Our investigation bureau recruits some talented people to deal with some very special matters.
In fact, you don’t have to be surprised. Not only us, but many other countries have such institutions. For example, I believe you have seen the famous movie, “X-Files, [1]” right? It is similar to our institution.”
Yang Ming nodded. He still knew about the “X-Files.” It was a very famous science fiction film. It was about some supernatural phenomena investigations. He initially thought it was fictional. He didn’t expect such an institution existed.
However, this time Xia Bingbao said so much. Is he trying to investigate me? Or is there any other purpose?
“Well, I have told you about the nature of my work. I believe you should understand why I was looking for you.” Xia Bingbao said, “As long as it is related to supernatural things, we will file a report and make a careful analysis. For your situation, we have no other explanation except the supernatural explanation.”
Yang Ming smiled and did not deny it. He also knew that his denial was useless. Even only from his recent trip to Macau, what he did in the Nancheng Casino was completely beyond common sense, and it was as if he were invincible.
“Well, tell me about your purpose, then I will decide if I want to cooperate with you.” Yang Ming nodded and said to Xia Bingbao.
“Alright.” Xia Bingbao was relieved seeing that Yang Ming was willing to cooperate because Xia Bingbao had also met some people with special skills before. However, these people were often very arrogant and very strange. It was hard for them to cooperate. Basically, he had to spend a lot of effort to make them speak. Yang Ming was still relatively normal, but he was also the weirdest among these people!
