As usual, Yang Ming went back to his housing complex, opened his unit’s anti-theft gate and went upstairs. However, when he arrived at his floor, he was shocked by what he saw.
His ho’s anti-theft door was wide open! Yang Ming imdiately beca alert! Usually, his ho’s main gate would never be wide open. This would not happen even on a really warm day.
In a city, the relationships among the neighbors are very different from those in a village. In a village, almost everyone knows everyone else, so they don’t really lock their doors. But it’s not the sa in a city. In the city, even though the neighbors live in the sa building, they hardly interact. At most, they would nod their heads to acknowledge one another. Once they were ho, they locked themselves up in their room!
There’s a thief! This was Yang Ming’s first thought! Once he ca to this conclusion, he beca really careful. He used his x-ray vision to examine the house’s condition.
Inside Yang Ming’s ho, there were two n searching for sothing! The living room was already a ss, and they were now in the master bedroom. The two n would occasionally speak one or two words to each other but because the distance between Yang Ming and them was too far, Yang Ming couldn’t hear anything they said. Yang Ming was even more regretful now. He had already experienced a loss due to this lack of ability. Why didn’t he learn his lesson earlier? If he knew this was going to happen, he should have gone to the bookstore to buy a lip-reading book for the deaf and mute! However, regret won’t do anything for him now. Yang Ming could only carefully observe these people!
According to the ti, Yang Ming’s father should be ho preparing lunch so why wasn’t he at ho? Why did the thieves co at this ti?
However, Yang Ming felt that he couldn’t afford to bother with that. He would be even more afraid if his father was at ho! His father would never be a match for them because these two thieves looked pretty big.
Yang Ming didn’t dare to slack off for even a mont. Even though he was experienced in fighting, who could guarantee that these two thieves weren’t people like Ji Shuisheng who killed without hesitation? If it had been any other situation, Yang Ming wouldn’t be as nervous as he was now. For him, facing these people would just be another fight. He even faced Ji Shuisheng without much struggle. If he was not a match for them, all he had to do was run! However, it was a different situation here. These two brats were actually robbing his ho! Yang Ming knew his family’s financial situation really well. All they had was a few ten-thousand yuan [1] in savings and a few thousand yuan cash in their drawer plus his mom’s tenth’s anniversary gold wedding ring!
If the robbers stole everything from their house, his family’s situation would definitely fall into a hole. Yang Ming didn’t care much about money, but what about his parents? Yang Ming couldn’t imagine how they would be impacted if they had lost all the money at ho. Yang Ming’s first thought was to get the police, but he didn’t have a cell phone. He didn’t dare to go downstairs to call from the public phone because these two may run away once he left.
This was the first ti that Yang Ming faced a situation much beyond his capability. Yang Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head. He could easily hand over a few thousand yuan to a girl whom he didn’t know at all, but he was now using all his brain cells to think of a way to protect this cash in his ho.
When Yang Ming thought about that girl, his brain flashed through a few cutscenes, but those cutscenes were very blurry and he couldn’t quite grasp what they were. However, now wasn’t the ti for all these, the key question was how could he deal with the situation in front of him!
Yang Ming was nervous, but the two n inside his ho were even more nervous! For them, this was their first ever theft of a ho!
— “Damn, where did Old Yang hide the lottery ticket? We searched so many places and can’t find it!” One of the thieves scolded in his heart nervously.
— “Damn, where did Old Yang hide the lottery ticket? We searched so many places and can’t find it!” Suddenly a voice bood in Yang Ming’s mind. Yang Ming was startled and looked everywhere around him. He noticed that there wasn’t anyone else on this floor!
What’s happening? Could it be a hallucination? As he thought about it, another voice ca to him, “By this ti, Old Yang would know that we lied to him about our leader wanting to have a word with him. He would probably be coming back ho now. If we don’t find it soon, we will run out of ti!”
The two thieves searched even faster. Yang Ming was looking at these two thieves and they didn’t speak a word just now! Then what did he hear? He was very sure that what he heard was definitely spoken by soone in the house! However, they hadn’t opened their mouths to say anything!
Could it be… that I could listen to their thoughts?! Yang Ming was delighted! Ever since he had put in these contact lenses, it felt as though many strange things could be explained by them! Yang Ming felt really excited. These contacts not only had binocular vision, x-ray vision, night-vision, and now it also had the “vision” to access to others’ thoughts!
This was definitely a treasure! To confirm his shocking discovery, Yang Ming continued to observe the two guys in his ho.
Once again, so sound gradually entered Yang Ming’s mind. This ti, Yang Ming could differentiate between the two voices in his mind. These must be the thoughts of the two n!
— “There’s nothing here. Damn. This Old Yang really knew how to hide his things!” A person’s voice said.
— “Now we don’t even know whether we have enough ti. If we still can’t find it, we would have to give up soon!” said another voice.
— “One last search at the bottom of his bed. If there’s nothing else, we really gotta go! It seems like I really don’t have that luck for prosperity! … Ah! Lottery ticket!” Accompanying this sound, the person in the ho also shouted, “Ah! Lottery ticket!” Then he happily waved the lottery ticket in his hand as if he was dancing!
The two n exchanged a look and Yang Ming couldn’t hear what they said, but the voice that went into Yang Ming’s mind said, “Let’s leave right now!”
When Yang Ming saw these two thieves walking to the front door, he imdiately ran up to the fifth floor so that he wouldn’t be noticed by them. Once they went downstairs, he followed them behind quietly.
However, the strange thing was that once these two people walked out of the house, Yang Ming’s brain could no longer receive any information. Could it be that these two people were not thinking about anything? Yang Ming was puzzled.
Yang Ming noticed that they didn’t steal anything else from ho. All that they did was to take a lottery ticket from under the bed, therefore, he didn’t feel nervous now. Even though Yang Ming didn’t know why these two guys ca to steal the lottery ticket, Yang Ming knew that his own father wouldn’t spare the cash to buy this type of item.
Yang Ming trailed these two people from afar. It seed like these two weren’t professionals. They didn’t notice that they were being followed and were still chatting happily.
