Chapter 703 The Person is in My Hands

"Have another person follow behind us, but don't go into the room," Wang Yang added.

Xiao Jiang nodded, feeling that Wang Yang's arrangements were very thorough.

After going upstairs, Wang Yang knocked on the door for a while before hearing an impatient voice from inside: "Who is it? Why aren't people sleeping at this hour!"

When the door opened, Chen Yang was stunned to see Wang Yang, but did not recognize him.

"Who are you looking for?" Chen Yang asked.

"You must be Chen Yang? I need to talk to you about something," Wang Yang said.

Chen Yang looked Wang Yang up and down, then glanced at Xiao Jiang beside him: "You've got the wrong people. I don't know you."

"Wait, are you sure you're Chen Yang? I'm looking for you. Don't you remember the gambling that night?" Wang Yang said.

Chen Yang pondered for a moment. He had a general impression of the people he gambled with, but he really had no recollection of the two people in front of him.

"I've never gambled with you guys, but I can still remember most of the people I have gambled with," Chen Yang said.

"You lost nearly ten million to me, and you can forget that?" Wang Yang said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang immediately remembered. He had been a casino gambler for many years, and apart from the heavy losses he suffered in the first few years when he was paying his tuition, he had never lost so much money before. The worst time he lost was when he played against Wang Yang.

"Are you the one wearing a mask that day?" Chen Yang asked.

“That’s right, it’s me,” Wang Yang replied.

Chen Yang relaxed: "What do you want from me? I haven't gambled in a long time."

“I don’t believe a gambler can quit gambling so easily. You must have moved to a different place. This place is probably just a temporary rental,” Wang Yang said.

Chen Yang looked at him with a puzzled expression: "What exactly do you mean? Why did you come to see me today? If you want to gamble with me, then forget it. I reckon even if I trained for another ten years, I still wouldn't be your match."

"Of course not, I have something else to discuss with you today," Wang Yang said, and then prepared to walk into the house.

Chen Yang stopped him abruptly: "You want to trespass on private property? Let me tell you, that's illegal!"

"Do you want to know why I can win so much money, and why I can tell the size of each die? If you want to know, we can talk about it," Wang Yang said.

Wang Yang knew very well that these words were incredibly tempting to a gambler. Anyone who wanted to win money would inevitably want to know the secret.

"What are your conditions? You can't just tell me for nothing, can you?" Chen Yang asked.

"I'll discuss the terms later. How about we go in and have a drink of water first?" Wang Yang said.

Chen Yang nodded and let them into the house. Wang Yang looked around and found the house to be very simple, probably only enough to barely accommodate someone for the night.

It seems my guess was right; the house was indeed rented temporarily by Chen Yang.

"You haven't lived in this house for very long, have you? You rented it here to be closer to the casino, right? And being close to the casino is for someone, isn't it?" Wang Yang said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang felt a sudden tremor in his heart. He had absolutely no idea why Wang Yang had come today.

"What exactly do you mean by that? Just say it directly. I don't like beating around the bush," Chen Yang said, frowning.

Wang Yang sat down opposite him, his expression serious: "Since you've put it that way, I won't beat around the bush with you. I want to know, have you been secretly watching Xiao Xuan all along?"

"I don't even know who this person you're talking about is. What do you mean by secretly monitoring me? I'm just here to gamble a few rounds, that's all," Chen Yang replied, feigning composure.

Wang Yang knew he wouldn't admit it easily, so he directly pulled out the surveillance footage: "Take a look, this is the surveillance footage from the casino and the area near your house. You only arrived here last month, right?"

Chen Yang jumped up abruptly, his emotions running high: "What do you mean? Do you know what you're doing is illegal? You actually followed me?"

“I wasn’t following you, and I don’t have the time for that. I’m incredibly busy all day. I just found your behavior suspicious, so I checked the security footage. Look, you were there every time Xiao Xuan appeared; and you followed him when he left. You still dare to say you weren’t there to spy on him?” Wang Yang said, pointing to the security footage.

Looking at the surveillance footage, Chen Yang panicked. He knew that whoever could obtain the surveillance footage from the street and casino was no ordinary person.

When Wang Dadong asked him to follow Wang Yang, he never imagined that Wang Yang had such a powerful background.

"What exactly do you want? Just say it!" Chen Yang said somewhat flusteredly.

"I just want to ask, who sent you to follow Xiao Xuan? What is your purpose in monitoring him? Also, did you already know my identity before?" Wang Yang asked a series of questions.

This series of questions left Chen Yang somewhat at a loss, unable to answer them.

"I'm just doing this for someone's money, so please don't make things difficult for me," Chen Yang said helplessly.

"I came to you precisely because I know you're doing this for money. If you were really that person's subordinate, I definitely wouldn't dare to come," Wang Yang explained.

Wang Yang knew very well that Chen Yang was actually just a gambling addict. He guessed that Wang Dadong had either found something wrong with him or bribed him to do this.

So fundamentally, he wasn't really Wang Dadong's subordinate, which gave Wang Yang an opportunity to exploit.

"Actually, I already have all this evidence. I just want to ask you, were you sent by Wang Dadong?" Wang Yang asked, staring intently at Chen Yang.

Upon hearing the name Wang Dadong, Chen Yang looked up in surprise. He hadn't expected that Wang Yang had already found out about Wang Dadong.

“Since you know everything, why are you asking me? I told you I’m just doing this for money. They paid me, so I have to get things done. After that, it’s none of my business,” Chen Yang said.

Moreover, he and Wang Dadong hadn't been in contact for a long time.

"You need to explain to me exactly how Wang Dadong assigned you the task, and everything else," Wang Yang said firmly.

"He gave me money to do things, so let me explain myself. Aren't you going to give me some benefits in return?" Chen Yang retorted.

Wang Yang smiled and said, "When I came in, I told you that if you want to learn my gambling skills, I can teach you, but on the condition that you tell me everything truthfully."

Hearing this condition, Chen Yang was somewhat tempted. After all, he was a big gambler and had witnessed Wang Yang's gambling skills before. "Are you serious? If I'm really willing to tell you, will you teach me?" Chen Yang asked tentatively.

"I keep my word and never lie, but only if you tell me everything truthfully," Wang Yang said earnestly.

Chen Yang nodded. Although he was not a treacherous person, he knew that Wang Dadong was not a good person.

“Wang Dadong contacted me. He gave me some money and asked me to follow Xiao Xuan and see who he usually associated with. Actually, everything was normal until that night,” Chen Yang said slowly.

Chen Yang had been following Xiao Xuan for so long, but he had never seen him enter a private room, because he knew Xiao Xuan wasn't qualified. That night, he saw Xiao Xuan get into a conflict with someone.

At first, he didn't pay attention, but gradually he realized that the person was obviously deliberately trying to trick Xiao Xuan, so he followed the two into the private room.

"So you were nearby that night, and you noticed that I deliberately got into a conflict with him before going into the private room?" Wang Yang asked.

Chen Yang nodded: "Yes, I felt something was wrong at the time. Xiao Xuan is a low-key person and timid, so he would definitely not go out of his way to offend anyone. When I heard your conversation with him, I knew there was something wrong with you."

"So I followed you all the way to your apartment building. I didn't know who you were, but after I told Wang Dadong about it, he knew who you were," Chen Yang continued.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yang and Xiao Jiang suddenly realized that Wang Dadong had known Wang Yang's identity since that time.

"And then what happened? Did he ask you to do anything else?" Wang Yang pressed.

"I really haven't contacted him in a long time," Chen Yang hurriedly explained.

Xiao Jiang, standing to the side, looked puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "There were so many people that night, and it wasn't just us talking to Xiao Xuan at first. How can you be so sure we did it on purpose?"

"I've been navigating the social world for so many years, do you think I can't tell what kind of person you are? I could tell right away that there was something wrong with you two, since you were both wearing masks so tightly," Chen Yang said confidently.

From the moment Chen Yang first saw Wang Yang and his group, he sensed something was amiss and began to pay closer attention. He was even more alarmed that they were targeting Xiao Xuan, which made him realize that things were not as simple as they seemed.

"After that, Wang Dadong didn't ask me to do anything else, just to keep an eye on Xiao Xuan. But Xiao Xuan didn't go to the casino at all during this time. I reported this to Wang Dadong, and he didn't assign me any more tasks," Chen Yang said.

Wang Yang nodded slightly; he believed Chen Yang wasn't lying. They had also checked the surveillance footage from that period; Xiao Xuan hadn't gone to the casino, and Chen Yang hadn't appeared near it either.

"Did he say anything else? You have to tell me everything Wang Dadong said to you, verbatim," Wang Yang asked with a determined look.

Chen Yang began to try to recall. Wang Dadong had initially approached him with the task of keeping an eye on Xiao Xuan, but he hadn't mentioned the specific reason.

"As you know, I'm not his subordinate. He pays me to do things, only telling me what to do. As for why I should do it, he certainly won't tell me." Chen Yang's tone was urgent, afraid that Wang Yang wouldn't believe him.

"When he talks to his subordinates, or from their conversations, did you deduce anything?" Wang Yang pressed.

"It seems they're particularly worried about Xiao Xuan contacting someone, and they want me to keep an eye on him for any unusual behavior," Chen Yang said, frowning.

Later, Chen Yang realized that the person Wang Dadong was talking about must be Wang Yang.

"It seems he still suspects me, probably because he thinks Xiao Xuan has been in contact with me in private," Wang Yang said thoughtfully.

“Oh right, I just remembered. After I told him about it, he was really happy and said it was like he had guessed something right,” Chen Yang added.

Wang Yang nodded, guessing that Wang Dadong had long anticipated that he would not let the murderer go easily, and that he might have suspected Xiao Xuan from the beginning, but had not shown it.

"I really don't know anything else. I can't make it up even if you ask me again!" Chen Yang said with a wronged expression. He was just helping someone out; how could he know so much inside information?

"I believe you. Do you think Wang Dadong will contact you again?" Wang Yang asked.

“If Xiao Xuan were to gamble again, he might have me keep an eye on him. But now that Xiao Xuan isn’t going, I’m probably no longer of any use to him,” Chen Yang replied.

Wang Yang thought to himself that Wang Dadong might have already guessed that once they discovered his third uncle's disappearance, they would suspect that he had kidnapped him. His unusual behavior was definitely because he had discovered the connection between Xiao Xuan and Wang Yang. Someone as cunning as Wang Dadong could very well have already guessed that Wang Yang had contacted Chen Yang.

"Here's what I'd like to say: I advise you to move out as soon as possible, the sooner the better. Wang Dadong will probably find out that you've contacted me," Wang Yang suggested.

Chen Yang shook his head and refused, saying, "That won't do. I've already paid my rent for a year!"

“I’ll give you the rent directly. Also, as I said before, I’ll teach you gambling skills. I can only teach you a third of it now, but that’s enough for your living expenses for a year,” Wang Yang said.

"Alright then." Although Chen Yang was reluctant, he had no choice but to agree since Wang Yang had said so and he was worried that he might be in danger.

Wang Yang got up and sent a file to Chen Yang.

"This document contains some secrets of gambling techniques. If you study it carefully, with your abilities, you should be able to master it in no time," Wang Yang said.

"Are you sure? You learned such amazing skills from this book?" Chen Yang asked, half-believing.

“That’s definitely not the case. It’s related to talent and practical experience. If you have more time to practice, you’ll learn faster,” Wang Yang explained.

After saying that, Wang Yang left with Xiao Jiang. On the way back, Xiao Jiang kept turning to look at Wang Yang, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

"Are you wondering how an ordinary doctor like me could know so much?" Wang Yang asked with a smile.

"I do find it a bit strange, but your medical skills are so good, maybe you knew it before, but you've just kept it a secret from others," Xiao Jiang guessed.

Wang Yang chuckled: "You guessed half right. I once met a teacher who not only taught me medicine but also many other things. I learned these when I was young, but he always warned me that gambling is not a good thing and that I should not get rich through it. So I have always kept his teachings in mind and have never used them."

If it weren't for Xiao Xuan's incident, perhaps no one would ever know that Wang Yang is actually a gambling expert.

"Keep this a secret for me. Don't tell anyone, especially Qin Tongtong. I don't want her to know," Wang Yang instructed.

"Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped, I definitely won't tell anyone," Xiao Jiang assured him.

Back at the hotel, Wang Yunyi was still waiting for them in the living room.

"How's it going? Have you found that person?" Wang Yunyi asked anxiously as soon as Wang Yang stepped into the living room.
