Chapter 1250: Jing Xiaolu’s Idea (A)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
After listening to Jing Xiaolu, Yang Ming felt that everything became clear. The reason was simple, but it was very real. Since the two people were now targeting him at the same time, there was really no need to distinguish who was the master and who was the servant. It didn’t matter who was the master as long as he carefully watched out for something in the future.
After Ice Age was over, the credits played. Jing Xiaolu and Yang Ming were stunned. The movie was over so fast, and the two did not watch it at all.
“How about we watch another one?” Jing Xiaolu still wished to continue. Ever since she watched the opening scene, she had been discussing with Yang Ming about Elder You and the behind-the-scenes boss. She didn’t even watch the movie, so Jing Xiaolu also didn’t see if the animals had escaped, and how they escaped.
“Sure.” The movie at midnight would loop. After each movie finished playing, it would be looped for a while. With one ticket, you could watch it until daybreak. There was no screening limit. This was because fewer people watched at midnight, and the cinema used this trick to attract young couples.
A movie would be played many times. Even if some couples, who were flirting with each other, had missed the plot, they could continue to watch the missed out story in the next loop.
The lights of the cinema lit up. Ge Xinyao and Bi Hai apparently did not leave. Bi Hai stood up and glanced at Yang Ming couple’s seat and said, “Brother Yang, should I go and buy some melon chips?”
“I don’t like to eat those things. You should ask Xiaolu.” Yang Ming was not interested in these junk foods. He didn’t know if Jing Xiaolu liked to eat it.
“Buy me a pack of potato chips.” Jing Xiaolu thought about it and said, “Also, another drink.”
Bi Hai nodded and ran quickly to buy food. Obviously, Ge Xinyao also wanted to have snacks.
Before Bi Hai came back, the lights of the cinema were once again darkened. This short-lived brightness was actually for those who wanted to leave, but the people in the cinema probably knew that fewer people left at the evening show. Hence, a few minutes of brightness was enough.
But, the movie didn’t start yet. It was playing some ads and new trailers.
“2009 Chinese fantasy film, “Magical Lenses,” debut. Edited based on the novel from the famous online writer, Fishman II, starring Shu Ya…”
This was the new film preview which showed some upcoming movies. The cinema would play some similar trailers in between which would also attract some potential audiences.
Especially when this movie was the debut of a popular celebrity, Shu Ya, the selling point was more intense. If Shu Ya fans saw it, they would never miss it.
Originally, Yang Ming wanted to continue to talk to Jing Xiaolu about Elder You and the behind-the-scenes boss. When he heard the trailer say “Magical Lenses,” Yang Ming was naturally not interested. It was just that Fishman II seemed familiar, but he couldn’t remember who it was.
But after hearing the Shu Ya’s name, Yang Ming immediately raised his head subconsciously with his eyes fixed on the movie screen.
Jing Xiaolu was a little surprised. Yang Ming spoke halfway, and she was waiting for Yang Ming to say the next part. In the end, Yang Ming stopped suddenly. Then, she looked at Yang Ming who stared at the movie screen. Jing Xiaolu was also curious, and she looked at the movie screen.
“Shu Ya’s movie?” Jing Xiaolu was also a very trendy girl. She naturally heard Shu Ya’s song and also had a good impression of this celebrity. Seeing Yang Ming having a favorable impression of this celebrity as he stared at the movie preview, Jing Xiaolu felt a little amused. “You are actually a Shu Ya fan!”
” En , she is very similar to my first girlfriend.” Yang Ming smiled without expressing his background.
” Oh ? Your first girlfriend?” Jing Xiaolu had a slight surprise. “However, Shu Ya is too far away from you. It is difficult to pursue her.”
” Hehe , there is always a chance. Let’s watch this movie.” Yang Ming usually didn’t like watching movies very much. Just because Shu Ya was in this film, Yang Ming would take the initiative to watch it.
However, Shu Ya made a movie… When did she shoot it? Why didn’t I know about it? In fact, it was not long after I separated from Shu Ya. Is it a new contract? It should be. I have been busy in Africa for a while and not reachable by phone. Even if Shu Ya wanted to tell me, she couldn’t find me.
“Sure. Let’s go together. I like Shu Ya, too.” Jing Xiaolu nodded.
Yang Ming was a little amused. Yang Ming just said that he would watch this film if he had the opportunity, and Jing Xiaolu volunteered.
The Ice Age played again. Jing Xiaolu had watched it before, so there was no need to rewatch it. Hence, she said to Yang Ming, “Well, let’s talk about the mysterious boss?”
“Didn’t I already finished it? I only fought with the mysterious boss three times,” said Yang Ming.
“That’s all?” Jing Xiaolu was a little disappointed. “It’s just that it’s hard to sort things out with these.”
“How much do you think there is?” Yang Ming smiled bitterly. “If I had a clue, I wouldn’t complain to you here and looked for the behind-the-scenes boss already.”
“However, even if you can’t find behind-the-scenes boss, why not look for Elder You?” Jing Xiaolu asked, “After finding Elder You, you can find out the mysterious behind-the-scenes boss’ identity, right?”
“Do you think finding Elder You is so easy?” Yang Ming said, “Lan Ling’s family strength is much stronger than me, and yet they avoid direct confrontation. It is apparent how horrifying Elder You is! I’m not afraid of him. It’s just I really can’t cope with his means. I don’t know anything about voodoo. Moreover, it’s hard to say whether Elder You is still in Song Jiang. After Chen Afu’s accident, his identity had been exposed. Aside from me, everyone, including the police, is looking for him! Of course, he has to hide.”
In fact, it was not the police who were looking for Elder You, but the Supernatural Investigation Bureau, which Xia Xue’s brother, Xia Bingbao, was in charge of. Yang Ming, as a member of the Supernatural Investigation Bureau, had the responsibility to help Xia Bingbao find Elder You.
However, he couldn’t tell Jing Xiaolu this identity. After all, this institution was confidential and not known to ordinary people.
“It turns out to be the case.” Jing Xiaolu understood after listening to Yang Ming’s words, “He is so powerful that it is impossible to confront the entire Song Jiang police. It is wise to choose to hide.”
“Indeed, since that time, I have not received any news about Elder You. It seems that he really went into hiding.” Yang Ming nodded.
“Yes, what do you seem to be worried about today? Is it related to Elder You or the mysterious boss?” asked Jing Xiaolu.
Yang Ming was really worried about the Sun Family. He had just provoked the Sui Family to be Tian Long’s enemy, but Yang Ming did not expect Sui Yuejin to be assassinated by an unidentified person after he left the Sui Family Group in Mount Jing.
Yang Ming, who just had a plan, became a little unprepared in a while. His previous plan was ruined. How could Yang Ming not be bothered?
“It should be a matter the behind-the-scenes boss came up with!” Yang Ming did not need to hide this matter from Jing Xiaolu. Although Jing Xiaolu was chirpy, she was a smart person. With Lu Xinyang not around, he could ask certain things from Jing Xiaolu to see if she had any good ideas.
” En ? What happened?” Jing Xiaolu asked.
“This is the case. The incident which happened at the company should be planned by that behind-the-scenes boss.” Yang Ming thought a little before he spoke up.
” Ah !” Jing Xiaolu was surprised. She did not expect that the incident which happened at the company this time was related to the mysterious behind-the-scenes boss. “Is it that Liu Chan and Qu Daming were under behind-the-scenes boss’ manipulation?”
“You can say that!” Yang Ming nodded. “I don’t know why these two people want to work for the behind-the-scenes boss, but this time is most likely due to behind-the-scenes boss!”
“No way, right?” Jing Xiaolu had some doubts. “According to what happened before, the behind-the-scenes boss will do things on a big scale when he fights with you every time. He will either look for someone to kill you or create big trouble that makes you go bankrupt… But this time… regarding the company’s accounts after validation, although the amount is relatively large, it’s not too bad! If the behind-the-scenes boss planned it, it’s too small a scale. It seems like making a fuss over a small issue, like gilding the lily.”
Yang Ming nodded in praise. Jing Xiaolu was wise. She felt that there was something wrong with the incident at once. It was the same as how he felt at that time. If the behind-the-scenes boss created such trouble just to do all these, it was just…
However, after Yang Ming followed the route where the two men escaped and obtained the confession of Sui Yuejin, he realized that Liu Chan and Qu Daming were just two small characters to divert his attention. Tian Long and Sui Yuejin were the only main characters of the conspiracy.
“Of course, the two of them are just playing minor roles.” Yang Ming said, “The whole thing is actually very complicated, involving two powerful people in the Donghai and Mount Jing areas.”
“Donghai? Mount Jing?” Jing Xiaolu repeated Yang Ming’s words but did not ask much. She just sat quietly, waiting for Yang Ming to continue.
“Indeed, Donghai and Mount Jing.” Yang Ming said, “Donghai’s Tian Family, and Mount Jing’s Sui Family. I don’t know if you’ve heard of them. They are two established families and very powerful in the local area!”
“Tian Family? I have some impressions of them.” Jing Xiaolu used to be a girl delinquent. Naturally, she was interested in these things. It was not surprising if she heard of them before. However, Mount Jing was separated from the province, so Jing Xiaolu was more unfamiliar with it.
“The Tian Family has always been serving the Sun Family, but this time, they wanted to be the master. They betrayed their master, the Sun Family, putting the Sun Family under house arrest…”
