Chapter 50: Two Thieves
Translator: Editor:
As usual, Yang Ming went back to his housing complex, opened his units anti-theft gate and went upstairs. However, when he arrived at his floor, he was shocked by what he saw.
His homes anti-theft door was wide open! Yang Ming immediately became alert! Usually, his homes 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 dont really lock their doors. But its not the same in a city. In the city, even though the neighbors live in the same building, they hardly interact. At most, they would nod their heads to acknowledge one another. Once they were home, they locked themselves up in their room!
Theres a thief!This was Yang Mings first thought! Once he came to this conclusion, he became really careful. He used his x-ray vision to examine the houses condition.
Inside Yang Mings home, there were two men searching for something! The living room was already a mess, and they were now in the master bedroom. The two men would occasionally speak one or two words to each other but because the distance between Yang Ming and them was too far, Yang Ming couldnt hear anything they said. Yang Ming was even more regretful now. He had already experienced a loss due to this lack of ability. Why didnt 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 wont do anything for him now. Yang Ming could only carefully observe these people!
According to the time, Yang Mings father should be home preparing lunch so why wasnt he at home? Why did the thieves come at this time?
However, Yang Ming felt that he couldnt afford to bother with that. He would be even more afraid if his father was at home! His father would never be a match for them because these two thieves looked pretty big.
Yang Ming didnt dare to slack off for even a moment. Even though he was experienced in fighting, who could guarantee that these two thieves werent people like Ji Shuisheng who killed without hesitation? If it had been any other situation, Yang Ming wouldnt 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 home! Yang Ming knew his familys 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 moms tenths anniversary gold wedding ring!
If the robbers stole everything from their house, his familys situation would definitely fall into a hole. Yang Ming didnt care much about money, but what about his parents? Yang Ming couldnt imagine how they would be impacted if they had lost all the money at home. Yang Mings first thought was to get the police, but he didnt have a cell phone. He didnt dare to go downstairs to call from the public phone because these two may run away once he left.
This was the first time 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 didnt know at all, but he was now using all his brain cells to think of a way to protect this cash in his home.
When Yang Ming thought about that girl, his brain flashed through a few cutscenes, but those cutscenes were very blurry and he couldnt quite grasp what they were. However, now wasnt the time 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 men inside his home were even more nervous! For them, this was their first ever theft of a home!
Damn, where did Old Yang hide the lottery ticket? We searched so many places and cant 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 cant find it! Suddenly a voice boomed in Yang Mings mind. Yang Ming was startled and looked everywhere around him. He noticed that there wasnt anyone else on this floor!
Whats happening? Could it be a hallucination?As he thought about it, another voice came to him, By this time, 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 home now. If we dont find it soon, we will run out of time!
The two thieves searched even faster. Yang Ming was looking at these two thieves and they didnt speak a word just now! Then what did he hear? He was very sure that what he heard was definitely spoken by someone in the house! However, they hadnt 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 home.
Once again, some sound gradually entered Yang Mings mind. This time, Yang Ming could differentiate between the two voices in his mind. These must be the thoughts of the two men!
Theres nothing here. Damn. This Old Yang really knew how to hide his things! A persons voice said.
Now we dont even know whether we have enough time. If we still cant find it, we would have to give up soon! said another voice.
One last search at the bottom of his bed. If theres nothing else, we really gotta go! It seems like I really dont have that luck for prosperity! Ah! Lottery ticket! Accompanying this sound, the person in the home also shouted, Ah! Lottery ticket! Then he happily waved the lottery ticket in his hand as if he was dancing!
The two men exchanged a look and Yang Ming couldnt hear what they said, but the voice that went into Yang Mings mind said, Lets leave right now!
When Yang Ming saw these two thieves walking to the front door, he immediately ran up to the fifth floor so that he wouldnt 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 Mings 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 didnt steal anything else from home. All that they did was to take a lottery ticket from under the bed, therefore, he didnt feel nervous now. Even though Yang Ming didnt know why these two guys came to steal the lottery ticket, Yang Ming knew that his own father wouldnt spare the cash to buy this type of item.
Yang Ming trailed these two people from afar. It seemed like these two werent professionals. They didnt notice that they were being followed and were still chatting happily.
