So Pure, So Flirtatious

Inside the Immortal Building, there were several surveillance cameras on each floor. From the corridor to the elevator to the emergency exit, surveillance cameras were in operation. Added up, at least, a few hundred cameras operated in the entire building!

However, the size of the surveillance screen in the security room was limited. The image recorded by each surveillance camera at every moment could not obviously be displayed on the computer screen of the security room.

Because the size of the computer screen in the security room was limited, only twelve cameras could be displayed at the same time for real-time monitoring. That is to say, although there were dozens of times the number of cameras working, they were not all displayed on the security screen of the security room.

The elevators had a separate set of monitoring screens. The company had only four elevators, so it could be monitored in real-time. Yang Ming could not take the elevator upstairs. Once he stepped into the elevator, he would be discovered by the people in the security room. The electric power of the elevator would be cut off midway, then he would be doomed.

Yang Ming had just studied the pattern of another large screen display in the security room. Each set contained twelve images, each representing the images taken by a surveillance camera of one of the twelve floors!

The building had a total of thirty-six floors, so to completely display on the monitoring screen of one of the points on each floor, the computer screen had to switch three times to complete a cycle. And each set of images lasted for about thirty seconds. After thirty seconds, it would switch to the next set of images, which meant that it would take a minute to switch back to a different monitoring point on the same floor.

Although this timing didn’t seem like a lot, it was enough for Yang Ming. A minute and a half were sufficient for Yang Ming to run to the stairs! However, this was not the key; another important issue was that after every few rounds, it would switch to the monitoring point on the stairs in the middle of each floor, rotate the camera, and then cycle again from the starting monitoring point of each floor.

In other words, Yang Ming must miss the time when the monitoring screen of the stairs showed up and quickly run upstairs, but because Sui Yuejin’s office was on the thirty-sixth floor, Yang Ming must go from the second floor to the thirty-sixth floor in one breath!

This timing was a little tight. Although the monitoring screen of the emergency stairs was only displayed after one round, it was quite difficult to go to the thirty-sixth floor at once in the interval of this switching time.

Yang Ming’s endurance and stamina were good, but his speed to climb up the stairs didn’t seem fast. Although it could be said to be faster than the average person, it was far worse than those sports athletes.

After all, Yang Ming was an assassin instead of an athlete. Therefore, Yang Ming was most worried about this. Now, since there was no choice, Yang Ming could only try to maximize the time.

The cameras at the end of the corridor on the first to the twelfth floors began to work. The computer screen of the security room showed the images taken by the twelve cameras.

Yang Ming started preparing. Because this camera was from the last round of the corridors, the cameras in the emergency stairs would show up in the next round.

Thirty seconds later, the camera at the end of the corridor from the thirteenth to the twenty-fourth floors began to work. Yang Ming also took advantage of this empty slot and quickly ran to the emergency staircase at the end of the corridor.

The cameras at the end of the corridor from the twenty-fifth to the thirty-sixth floors were completed, and those on the stairwell from the first to the twelfth floors began to work. The computer screen of the security room was switched to the emergency stairs.

Thirty seconds later, the cameras at the stairwell from the first floor to the twelfth floors stopped working and switched to the cameras at the stairwell of the thirteenth to twenty-fifth floors.

At the same time, Yang Ming also began to move. He quickly ran up the emergency stairs, rushing toward the top. With the planned buffer in front, Yang Ming saved about a minute!

Don’t underestimate the time of this minute. This was extremely valuable for Yang Ming. To successfully avoid the surveillance of the cameras, the more time there was, the more chances there were.

However, according to Yang Ming’s current speed, before the next round of cameras switched, Yang Ming was completely confident to run up. Because Yang Ming’s endurance was outstanding, there was no slowdown throughout his run. Therefore, Yang Ming successfully ran to the thirty-sixth floor before the cameras switched to the emergency stairs.

At this moment, Yang Ming certainly couldn’t run out of the emergency stairs. If he did, he would be captured by the camera in the corridor. Although every camera in the hall had blind spots, it was difficult for Yang Ming to find the absolute blind spot of each camera by just visual estimation without exact measurements. Even if he found it, Yang Ming couldn’t be guaranteed to find the next one.

That is to say, once Yang Ming’s position was slightly out of place, he would be seen by the security room. Therefore, Yang Ming would not take the risk to do such a dangerous thing.

The cameras at the end of the corridor from the twenty-fifth to the thirty-sixth floors started again. Yang Ming knew that the opportunity was coming again. When the next set of cameras, which were the cameras on the emergency stairs from the first floor to the twelfth floors, started, Yang Ming quickly left the emergency stairs and ran to the chairman’s office.

Although the monitoring switch of each group of stairs was a minute of free time, Yang Ming couldn’t guarantee that the door of Sui Yuejin’s chairman’s office could be opened smoothly without using the master key. Therefore, Yang Ming did not take this risk. Instead, he waited until the monitor screen switched to the emergency stairs again before he made a move.

In this way, it would take one-and-a-half minutes for the screens of the three sets of emergency stairs to switch. After the three sets of screens were changed, the monitoring screen of the corridor would be displayed again. The monitoring screen of the corridors was switched to the first floor to the twelfth floor again. That is to say, it would take another minute for the next round of the surveillance cameras on the twenty-fifth to thirty-sixth floors to begin. Adding it all up, it would take two-and-a-half minutes, which was enough for Yang Ming.

Yang Ming walked quickly and lightly to the door of Sui Yuejin’s chairman’s office. He gently pushed the door and found that the door was locked, but it was not locked from the inside. Yang Ming carefully pressed the door handle and pushed open Sui Yuejin’s door.

At the moment, Sui Yuejin was sitting at the computer desk and playing cards out of boredom. Yang Ming closed the office door and locked it. Yang Ming knew that there was a secretarial room next to Sui Yuejin’s chairman’s office. His secretary, Little Yu, at the moment was in the secretary’s room chatting on the phone with his girlfriend.

The sound of the door locking from the inside still raised Sui Yuejin’s vigilance. It was no wonder that a little sound would be exaggerated in this quiet and silent building.

The mechanical sound of the door locking could not be controlled by Yang Ming by manpower or special abilities. This was the problem of the design by the door lock manufacturer. Yang Ming could only make the sound as soft as possible, but the mechanical spring sound still couldn’t be covered up.

“Little Yu, did you comfort your girlfriend?” Sui Yuejin heard the sound of the door, but he subconsciously thought that his secretary, Little Yu, was coming in, and the locking sound of the door was only considered to be the sound from pushing the door.

“Mr. Sui is really in a very good mood, playing cards in the company late at night,” Yang Ming said faintly.

” En ?” Sui Yuejin suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice, and he was suddenly surprised. “Who is it?”

Sui Yuejin jerked his head up and saw an unfamiliar man standing in front of him, looking at himself with a look of contempt. Sui Yuejin was suddenly shocked. How did this guy come up? Are the security guards downstairs good-for-nothing?

“Let me introduce myself. My name is Yang Ming; maybe you have heard my name before.” Yang Ming finished speaking and sat on the sofa opposite Sui Yuejin. He crossed his legs and looked at Sui Yuejin.

Yang Ming’s calm look made Sui Yuejin even more uncomfortable. He didn’t know for what reason this guy came to the company so late at night. Sui Yuejin seemed to have heard the name Yang Ming before, but the name was too ordinary. A lot of people in China had such a name. So, with this popular name, Sui Yuejin really couldn’t think of who Yang Ming was.

As for Yang Ming, since he was ready to reveal his true identity in front of Sui Yuejin, he was not afraid that Sui Yuejin would take revenge. Yang Ming was here this time to warn Sui Yuejin to be more well-behaved, and not to participate in some things that had nothing to do with him.

If not, this time was a warning. The next time, it would no longer be as simple as a warning.

“What do you want to do?” Although Sui Yuejin was shocked by how Yang Ming appeared in his office, he also saw that Yang Ming was a person with ill intentions. Sui Yuejin was still a big shot after all. He had experienced dangerous situations before, so at the moment, he could still maintain his calmness.

“What I want to do? Don’t you, President Sui, still not understand?” Yang Ming shrugged and grinned. “Didn’t you just make a phone call?”

“Call? What phone call?” Sui Yuejin didn’t understand what Yang Ming said. He snorted, “Who are you? What is your purpose? Just say it; don’t play these games in front of me. Don’t blame me for not warning you. No one dares to play with me like this in Mount Jing!”

“I’m sorry. I am not a person from Mount Jing.” Yang Ming smiled very lightly. “However, if I were a person from Mount Jing, I will talk like this too. Sui Yuejin, didn’t you want to know why the mission you posted to assassinate Hou Zhenhan and Bao Sanli has been delayed?”

“You… you…” Sui Yuejin’s eyes widened. He thought about countless possibilities. He imagined Yang Ming as an enemy of the underworld or a thief who lacked money and wanted to extort him, but he never thought that Yang Ming actually came for this matter. Then, could Yang Ming be someone from the Butterfly Assassin Group?

“You don’t have to be so tongue-tied. You guessed it; I am an assassin.” Yang Ming interrupted Sui Yuejin’s words and said coldly. Yang Ming didn’t lie to Sui Yuejin. What Yang Ming said was correct; he was indeed an assassin, but he wasn’t the assassin hired by Sui Yuejin. However, this depended on Sui Yuejin to understand and imagine.

“Then you didn’t kill them. What are you doing here!?” Sui Yuejin was still calm, but when Yang Ming said that he was an assassin, Sui Yuejin was instinctively afraid! The assassin was an unfamiliar and terrifying profession for most people.

The average common person may still have a worse impression. After all, assassins were too far-fetched for them. But for Sui Yuejin, who had been exposed to assassins and knew how terrifying assassins were, it was even more horrifying!

Sui Yuejin subconsciously extended his hand to the drawer of his desk, where there was a pistol that Sui Yuejin used to defend himself.

Sui Yuejin was a cunning tycoon. He would never think that Yang Ming was just looking for him to explain why he did not assassinate Hou Zhenhan and Bao Sanli. Moreover, Yang Ming’s posture and tone didn’t seem like he used to treat his employer. It seemed like he was facing a target that was to be assassinated!

Although the appearance of Yang Ming was somewhat bizarre, this matter was already bizarre since the beginning! An assassination mission that was not very complicated initially had not been settled for so many days. However, what Sui Yuejin waited for was not an assassin who looked for his client!

Could Sui Yuejin not be vigilant? The only thing he could do now was to find a weapon that could be used to defend himself, so he could subdue Yang Ming unexpectedly when Yang Ming was not aware of it.

Of course, Sui Yuejin’s intentions were not hidden from Yang Ming’s eyes, and Yang Ming clearly saw the gun in his drawer.

“Don’t act rashly; it will only make me have the urge to kill you.” Yang Ming said blankly, “Initially, I didn’t think to do anything to you, but don’t force me.”

Sui Yuejin usually lied too much, so he wouldn’t believe in Yang Ming’s words! You won’t do anything to me? If not, then what are you doing here? Therefore, Sui Yuejin subconsciously thought that Yang Ming was lying, so the hand that reached for the drawer did not stop!

Because he saw that Yang Ming did not have any weapons in his hands, and Yang Ming was at least two meters away from him, at this time, taking out the pistol from the drawer was entirely not a problem.

The current situation was that the stronger one would be in a dominant position, so how could Sui Yuejin lose this opportunity? Sui Yuejin listened to Yang Ming’s words, and he only slightly paused, but his hand still reached for the drawer.

Yang Ming’s sleeves moved slightly, and it was followed by a scream from Sui Yuejin. A very thin transparent flying needle pierced into the acupuncture point of Sui Yuejin’s right palm. His entire palm could not move, and he trembled in pain.

“I have already warned you; I don’t want anyone to have the intention to disobey me.” Yang Ming was very indifferent to Sui Yuejin’s pain. “This is just a lesson to let you have a better memory.”

Although Sui Yuejin didn’t see it clearly, something was in the palm of his hand that he could still feel. A pinhole in the palm of his hand was especially obvious! However, in the current situation, this object had entered the palm of his hand, which made Sui Yuejin painful and very worried at the same time. He did not know whether it would have any effect on him.

“Don’t look at it; it’s a slow-acting poisonous needle. You won’t die for a while.” When Yang Ming saw Sui Yuejin’s expression, how could he not know what Sui Yuejin was thinking? Therefore, Yang Ming deliberately teased him.

Sure enough, after Sui Yuejin heard it, the cold sweat on his forehead came out and poured down! Sui Yuejin’s attitude toward Yang Ming had become a heartfelt one!

He was completely in a collapsed state! Yang Ming’s shot was too fast. He had no room for resistance. It was no use even if he had a gun in his hand. Maybe before he even fired it, another flying needle would pierce into his head.

For the first time, Sui Yuejin saw what an actual assassin was! He also understood that the assassin was not a worthless title, but it was really very powerful.

Yang Ming just wanted to give Sui Yuejin a warning; he never thought about killing Sui Yuejin from the beginning. After all, the conflict between Sui Yuejin and him was not too big, and it would bring no benefit to Yang Ming even if he killed Sui Yuejin. Therefore, Yang Ming’s purpose this time was to warn Sui Yuejin not to gang up with Tian Long. Otherwise, he would die very badly.

When the flying needle in Sui Yuejin’s acupuncture point in the palm melted, Sui Yuejin’s hand returned to normal. Except for some discomfort in the wound, there was no sharp pain.

“Okay, have you recovered?” Yang Ming frowned. According to his approximation of time, the flying needle should have dissolved.

Sui Yuejin was still wondering how his own hand slowly became painless, but he was not happy. His palm was not hurting, but it didn’t mean that it was better. Didn’t Yang Ming say that it was a slow-acting poison? It was usual for the palm to go numb when this poison took effect.

Upon hearing Yang Ming’s reminder, Sui Yuejin really felt that his palm did not have many abnormalities at the moment, but returned to normal. However, he still hesitated in his heart. “My hand… is it all right?”

“This little poison can’t kill.” Yang Ming glanced at Sui Yuejin coldly. “Well, let’s continue the topic just now. My name is Yang Ming. I am a junior high school classmate of Sui Guangqi, and Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan are my underlings. Now, do you know why I am looking for you?”

“What?!” Sui Yuejin listened to Yang Ming’s words and was shocked. He didn’t think that Yang Ming was actually the boss of Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan! Initially, Sui Yuejin thought that Yang Ming was a professional assassin. But now, Yang Ming seemed to be a native of Song Jiang, especially because Yang Ming was a classmate of his son, Sui Guangqi. This made Sui Yuejin even more puzzled.

“However, I still have another identity. That is an assassin.” Yang Ming did not wait for Sui Yuejin to ask, and he added, “Now, do you know why I came to you?”

At this moment, even if a retarded person listened to Yang Ming’s words, he would know why Yang Ming came, not to mention that Sui Yuejin was not retarded. Although he was shocked, he could only accept this unfortunate reality.

According to his understanding, he paid an assassin to kill the two underlings of an assassin! Then what would be the result? It could easily be guessed… The unfortunate one was naturally Sui Yuejin!

“Say it. Why do you want to assassinate Hou Zhenhen and Bao Sanli?” Yang Ming asked, “What motivation and purpose do you have? Do these two people have hatred with you?”
