Chapter 1272 - To Catch Off Guard
Chapter 1272: To Catch Off Guard
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Zhang Jinguo very much wanted to ask Yang Ming what he was doing, but Tian Long was watching behind, so he couldn’t be too close to Yang Ming. He had no choice but to pretend that he didn’t know Yang Ming and escort Yang Ming into the junkyard.
However, after entering the room, Zhang Jinguo looked back and found that Tian Long didn’t follow, so he could not help but ask, “Mr. Yang, you are…”
Yang Ming changed his previous decadent expression and winked at Zhang Jinguo. He smiled a little, but it was only a moment. After a while, Yang Ming returned to his normal appearance.
Zhang Jinguo was stunned, but he immediately understood Yang Ming’s meaning. Yang Ming wanted him to relax. Zhang Jinguo was relieved as he thought of this. Although he didn’t know what Yang Ming was doing, Yang Ming seemed to have some important plan.
Seeing that someone else came over, Zhang Jinguo quickly restored his former indifference and took Yang Ming to the large room where the Sun Family was being held. He shouted to the man who came over behind him, “Go, open the door!”
“Yes!” The man responded hurriedly and found the key to open the door.
Sun Hongjun was annoyed by Tian Long’s words yesterday; Sun Jie was showing a helpless face too. Yesterday, her father’s mood was better, and Tian Long came to provoke Sun Hongjun. He made Sun Hongjun, who was very depressed initially, sigh even more.
“Little Jie, Tian Long said that he wants to catch Yang Ming also. What can I do?” Sun Hongjun sighed.
“Dad, don’t think so much. Can Yang Ming be caught so easily?” Sun Jie also felt that Yang Ming could not be easily caught by Tian Long.
“Ai , you will never know. Yang Ming is smart, and he handles matters reliably, but in the end, the older is still the wiser. How can he be the opponent of Tian Long, the veteran in the underworld?” Sun Hongjun sighed. “I initially thought also that Yang Ming might be able to save us, but after listening to Tian Long’s words yesterday… this possibility is not high!”
Sun Jie was also smart, and she immediately understood what her father was saying. “You mean Tian Long’s next target that he has to deal with is Yang Ming?”
“This Tian Long won’t allow anything to destroy his plan judging from his current ambitions!” Sun Hongjun nodded. “Now, Yang Ming is his potential opponent; he won’t let Yang Ming keep being the danger factor. He will definitely strike first!”
“Yeah… Yesterday, if our discussion were not heard by Tian Long, it would have been fine.”… Sun Jie completely blamed herself for Tian Long’s actions and thoughts on Yang Ming because their conversation was overheard by Tian Long. If Tian Long didn’t hear it, he wouldn’t think of this move!
“It’s my fault for being mouthy…” Sun San didn’t feel good because he wanted to comfort Sun Hongjun yesterday, so he casually mentioned Yang Ming. However, he didn’t expect to alert Tian Long into dealing with Yang Ming. If that happened, Sun San would be the sinner.
“Uncle San, you are not to blame…” Sun Jie shook her head, but she hoped Yang Ming was not easily finished by Tian Long. If he were defeated by Tian Long so easily, then he would not be worthy of being her man, and she didn’t have to watch his progress.
Sun Jie thought this way, but she still had expectations for Yang Ming. It was impossible to say that Sun Jie had no feelings for Yang Ming. Sun Jie was just a rational person. She had never given Yang Ming a clear answer because she wasn’t sure whether Yang Ming was the one who would be capable of protecting her life.
Sun Jie had almost made a wrong choice before, so she was naturally extremely careful now. As she aged, her mind was much more mature than before.
Therefore, her ideal man needed to have enough capability. At least, he must be better than herself! If Yang Ming were caught so easily by Tian Long, then she had nothing to say.
However, everyone in the Sun Family did not expect that Tian Long’s desire to deal with Yang Ming wasn’t because of their conversation. Tian Long had long planned to deal with Yang Ming! It could be said that it had nothing to do with the Sun Family! Even without the relationship between Yang Ming and the Sun Family, since the behind-the-scenes boss had asked for it, Tian Long had to try his best to deal with Yang Ming.
Outside, there was the sound of the door opening with a key. The Sun Family’s people learned to be smart this time and closed their mouths promptly. They didn’t want to let Tian Long hear something.
“You go in!” In front of outsiders, Zhang Jinguo still had to show his imposing manner. He couldn’t let outsiders see his relationship with Yang Ming, including the Sun Family!
Although the Sun Family and Yang Ming were a group, the more people knew about it, the more it was easy to expose. Who knew when it would be exposed?
When the door was opened, the Sun Family thought that Tian Long was coming to say something ugly again, but they didn’t expect that the person to be escorted in was actually Yang Ming!
“Yang Ming?” Sun Jie’s eyes widened. She couldn’t believe the facts in front of her. Yang Ming is too useless, right? We just mentioned him last night, then he was caught by Tian Long today!
Even if you can’t fight Tian Long, you have to hold out for a while before being caught, right? How can you be caught directly? Sun Jie immediately felt disappointed as she thought of this. Yang Ming was far from the ideal man in her mind.
At the very least, if Yang Ming held out for a few more days, Sun Jie could barely fool herself. Even her father and Uncle San were both caught by Tian Long, so Yang Ming wasn’t incapable of being caught. One could only say that Tian Long was too cunning.
However, the meaning was different if he was caught instantly.
Sun Hongjun and Sun San didn’t think as much as Sun Jie, but they were inevitably disappointed. It was just that they weren’t disappointed with Yang Ming, but they were disappointed that they couldn’t be rescued.
Yang Ming smiled bitterly. He didn’t say much. He understood that someone was monitoring the situation in the room.
“Little Jie, Uncle Sun, Uncle San, are you okay?” Yang Ming could only do the basic courtesy at this moment.
Sun Jie did not speak. She was slightly disappointed with Yang Ming. In her impression, Yang Ming wasn’t such a weakling, but Sun Jie had no choice but to believe that since the facts were in front of her.
Therefore, it was inevitable that she was disappointed. Her feelings toward Yang Ming in her heart also emerged again. It didn’t feel good… she didn’t know how to decide.
This was the difference between a sensible woman and an ordinary woman, but Sun Jie couldn’t be blamed for being too careful just because of her position and her own personality.
“Still fine…” Sun Hongjun smiled bitterly. “I didn’t expect a few words yesterday would get you into trouble…”
“What a few words? What do you mean?” Yang Ming was confused by Sun Hongjun.
Sun San helplessly repeated the words that they said yesterday to Yang Ming. Yang Ming’s heart was even more confused. What does this have to do with me being caught? But he couldn’t tell the truth to the Sun Family!
Because the success or failure would be determined when Tian Long came later! He couldn’t let any factors that would cause failure to influence the result! Therefore, to be successful, Yang Ming had to hide it from the Sun Family. He must first conceal it from the Sun Family to prevent them from revealing any flaws at the crucial moment.
As Yang Ming was thinking, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the door again. He knew that Tian Long was coming.
With Tian Long’s character, he would definitely come to humiliate them after catching Yang Ming and putting him together with the Sun Family. He had to satisfy the ego in his heart.
Therefore, Yang Ming feared nothing because of this point! When he was caught by Tian Long, he was obedient without fighting back! In other words, even if Tian Long did not come, the guard, Zhang Jinguo, was also Yang Ming’s man. Yang Ming could let Zhang Jinguo release him at any time. As long as he was free, he could plan again.
The door was opened again. The person who came was really Tian Long this time. Yang Ming could hear Tian Long’s arrogant laughter at once without looking up.
“President Sun, do you still have any hope this time? Weren’t you looking for Yang Ming? I’ve brought him to you!” Tian Long pointed to Yang Ming and laughed.
Sun Hongjun’s face changed slightly, but he knew that Tian Long was here to anger him on purpose, so Sun Hongjun wasn’t willing to argue with him at this moment. He snorted and looked to the side.
He didn’t have the hesitation in Sun Jie’s thoughts. He just felt that his conversation with Sun San had harmed Yang Ming; his heart felt guilty for Yang Ming.
Tian Long saw Sun Hongjun not talking, and he didn’t care. He snorted and looked at Yang Ming. “Boy, are you not very smart? You even know to buy over the people around me, but aren’t you still my captive?”
Yang Ming looked at Tian Long coldly and said, “Don’t think that you are invincible because you know Golden Bell [1].”
“What? Are you jealous?” Tian Long was really happy today! He actually caught Yang Ming, that is to say, he could return the favor to the behind-the-scenes boss, and he could continue to receive strong support from the behind-the-scenes boss. Everything would be fine with the help of the behind-the-scenes boss!
“Jealous? Why would I be jealous?” Yang Ming said faintly. “Jealous because you know Golden Bell?”
“You…” Tian Long did not expect Yang Ming, who was obedient just now, to become silver-tongued suddenly. But then, Tian Long thought that Yang Ming must have no other way. He wanted to make the situation worse, and provoke Tian Long to fulfill his psychological satisfaction.
Thinking of this, Tian Long wasn’t angry. He looked at Yang Ming with a smile and looked at Sun Hongjun and Sun Jie’s family. He said, “President Sun, are you still confused?”
Sun Hongjun snorted and responded to Tian Long. Indeed, he was baffled, not knowing what Golden Bell they were talking about.
“President Sun, you have found a good son-in-law!” Tian Long said with a sigh. “But it is unfortunate! He thinks he is smart. He bought over the people around me, even Wang Renping… I really didn’t think of it. Wang Renping can actually be bought over… but it’s useless. There is a secret in my body. That is, I used to practice Golden Bell in Shaolin! Hahahahaha , what can he do to me? He could only blame himself for meeting me as an opponent…”
As he said that, Tian Long couldn’t help but laugh aloud.
Sun Jie’s face slightly changed. It seemed that she was wrong about Yang Ming. Yang Ming wasn’t a weakling; he was always planning to rescue them. Yang Ming almost succeeded, but he didn’t expect Tian Long to know that whatever Golden Bell!
Although Sun Jie didn’t know how great the Golden Bell was after mastering it, in the martial arts novels, those who had practiced the Golden Bell and Iron Shirt were invulnerable. As a result, Yang Ming was obviously not an opponent.
Thinking of this, Sun Jie was somewhat guilty. When Yang Ming first came in, I ignored him… Will he be angry?
At this moment, the one who still thought about these things… would only be Sun Jie… Sun Jie was still a girl, after all. She was still thinking if her lover would misunderstand her in the moment of crisis, instead of something else…
“Yeah, you can only blame yourself for meeting me as your opponent…” Yang Ming continued Tian Long’s words and said faintly.
“You still have some self-awareness… En? What do you mean?” Tian Long wasn’t stupid; he immediately realized something was amiss in Yang Ming’s words. Why does it mean the opposite of what I said?
However, Yang Ming made a move just when Tian Long was baffled. Yang Ming leaped and kicked straight into Tian Long’s head. Tian Long was shocked; he didn’t expect Yang Ming to still think of attacking him at this time!
He had previously tied Yang Ming’s hands with a cowhide strap because the cowhide strap was tight and elastic. When it was tied on someone’s wrists, it was hard to untie once it was tied into a dead knot. It could only be cut with a sharp knife, so Tian Long wasn’t afraid of the Sun Family untying the cowhide strap. Therefore, he was careless against Yang Ming when he came in!
He didn’t expect Yang Ming to be able to do this flying kick with his hands tied. He was shocked instantly! However, Tian Long was a master of martial arts; he knew some superior martial arts, so he reacted immediately!
He quickly made his stance. Although Yang Ming’s kick didn’t seem to be strong, who knew if this kid had any special plans? Therefore, Tian Long could not let him succeed, so he used his Golden Bell. Then he didn’t have to be afraid of Yang Ming!
When Yang Ming kicked Tian Long’s shoulder, he only felt like he was kicking on a big piece of slate. Not only did he feel pain at his feet, but Tian Long was also fine after being kicked!
However, Yang Ming obviously had a second move. This kick was just to confuse Tian Long! Yang Ming forced his left leg to make a turn in the air and kick at Tian Long’s waist!
This was Yang Ming’s unique skill, the Yang Style Flying Kick! Although it didn’t look great, and its side-effects were relatively more, one had to admit that this move helped Yang Ming get out of crises repeatedly!
Sure enough, Tian Long never thought that Yang Ming would use such consecutive flying kicks, and the second kick was aimed at his right waist! Tian Long’s face suddenly showed a horrified expression, but now, it was too late to dodge it!
Tian Long snorted painfully, holding his right waist and leaning on the side of the door panel. He gasped heavily; he couldn’t speak. The sweat on his face kept dropping. He seemed to be in extreme pain.
Yang Ming saw that he had hit Tian Long’s vital spot, and he immediately showed a happy smile. He couldn’t care how ugly his posture was, and he fell with his butt touching the floor first!
Yang Ming was also nervously sweating. This was the only chance. If Yang Ming couldn’t grasp it, then if he wanted to control Tian Long later, it would be harder!
But now, it seemed that he had succeeded!
The reason Yang Ming’s second kick was aimed at Tian Long’s right waist was that it was Tian Long’s Achilles’ heel!
For people who practiced Golden Bell, Iron Shirt, and Thirteen Taibao Hard Qigong [2], there would be one or two places that the defensive Kung Fu couldn’t cover which was the weak spot.
If one mastered the Golden Bell, he could be invincible except at his weak spot! If the weak spot were discovered, his Kung Fu would be lost if that spot were attacked forcefully.
In Liang Yusheng’s novel, “Longfeng Baochai Yuan [3],” Yang Mulao was flirting with the girls on the Chang’an’s street. After Duan Kexie saw it, he hit Yang Mulao’s acupoint from a far distance. He hit his chink in the armor at the coccygeal end which crippled his Golden Bell.
Yang Ming knew this well, so he pretended to submit to Tian Long, and then waited for an opportunity to discover his soft spot! Otherwise, Yang Ming, as the King of Assassins’ apprentice, wouldn’t be caught by Tian Long, even if he couldn’t beat Tian Long who was invincible on the spot!
If the attack didn’t work, Yang Ming could still escape! However, Yang Ming did not run away, but let Tian Long catch him! Yang Ming also wanted to find Tian Long’s soft spot while he was being caught!
If it were someone else, he wouldn’t be able to find Tian Long’s weak spot by looking blindly, even for a lifetime! But Yang Ming was different. Don’t forget what Yang Ming’s strength was, his special abilities.
Yang Ming carefully observed every inch of Tian Long’s body through his special abilities! Because practicing the Golden Bell would transform the muscles, the muscle structures were different in the places where it could be practiced from where it couldn’t be practiced.
Although this work was troublesome, under Yang Ming’s careful observation, he finally found out that Tian Long’s right waist was very different from the other muscles. Therefore, he could conclude that this was Tian Long’s weakness!
While Yang Ming stayed in the trunk, he wasn’t doing anything else. Instead, he was observing Tian Long with his special abilities. When they reached the junkyard, Yang Ming also found Tian Long’s soft spot. When he waited for Tian Long to humiliate him, Yang Ming would give him a fatal blow!
Of course, Yang Ming couldn’t directly attack Tian Long’s soft spot. In that case, Tian Long would definitely be prepared to protect his weak spot. It would be even difficult for Yang Ming to hit Tian Long’s weak spot.
Because people who practiced martial arts were sensitive to their own weaknesses, Yang Ming couldn’t let Tian Long know that he already knew where Tian Long’s soft spot was. Therefore, Yang Ming used the Yang Style Flying Kick to kick the front of Tian Long’s body, diverting his attention, and the second kick in the air was the important hit that was kicked Tian Long’s soft spot!
