Chapter 559 Muddle through
"Search house by house! Don't miss any clues!" Yan Kai shouted sternly, directing the police officers to raid the black market.
In a short while, as underground dens were destroyed one after another and batches of contraband items were seized, police officers escorted terrified suspects out one after another, and this raid was about to come to an end.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xitron." Yan Kai's expression eased a lot after listening to his subordinates' reports. "Before the next mayor is elected, as the new gym leader of Miare, you must do your best to maintain the law and order in Miare City."
"Leave it to me!" Citron patted his chest and promised, muttering, "Damn it, this way I won't have time to work on my own inventions..."
"Is Yin Yue not back yet?" The forest ranger Hinata on the other side had also withdrawn her team. She was straightforward and muttered as she walked, "Strange, with her strength, it shouldn't be dangerous to sneak into the black market..."
"Humph, is there anyone who would curse his good sister like you and get her into trouble?"
As they were talking, a man and a woman appeared in front of everyone. Seeing that her best friend was safe and sound, Hinata hugged Yin Yue and said, "That's great. I thought you were trapped in the wolf's den and would never come back..."
"Eh? No, am I so weak in your eyes?" Yin Yue was both angry and amused, and pointed at Yang Ming who was standing beside her. "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to introduce him to you. This is my undercover agent in the black market."
"Nice to meet you. My name is Qiong Gui and I am a subordinate of Lord Yin Yue. Please give me your guidance." Yang Ming agreed with everyone in a friendly manner, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart, "What the hell, she actually asked me to be her subordinate, this is too ridiculous."
After leaving the Arena of Beasts, Yang Ming had just taken off the clothes he used to commit the crime and the Magikarp mask, when he discovered that the entire black market had already been surrounded by the police and investigators of the alliance, and he had no way of escaping.
"Damn it, even Yan Kai, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, is here?" Yang Ming's face was gloomy. He had originally thought of relying on his own strength to break out, but now it seems impossible.
"Don't worry, just leave it to me." Yin Yue seemed to have thought of this situation a long time ago, and threw him a certificate. "This is the investigator certificate I got for you before. Although you rejected my invitation in the end, I still didn't throw it away. Now it happens to be useful."
"Later, you can claim to be my subordinate and have been undercover in the black market. This way, you won't be suspected."
Yang Ming looked at the certificate in his hand, feeling mixed emotions. Although he was very touched by the young rich woman's help, she seemed to have not given up on letting him join the alliance. Wasn't this obsession a bit too deep?
As expected, no one present doubted Yang Ming's identity. Even Yan Kai, the highest commander, patted him on the shoulder and praised him: "Well done, young man. The alliance needs people like you who have courage and wisdom."
Xitron and Hinata were also very friendly to him. Hinata even pulled Yin Yue aside and whispered, "This guy with sunglasses is quite handsome. Is he your boyfriend?"
"Stop it, he and I don't have that kind of relationship."
"If we're not boyfriend and girlfriend, does that mean you won't object to me pursuing him?"
"Get lost! If you keep messing around, I'll end my friendship with you!"
Yang Ming naturally didn't hear these words. At this moment, he was observing everyone present quietly.
"Not only Yan Kai, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, and Gym Leader Hitron, but even Hinata, the heroine of "Pokémon Ranger", appears here..." Yang Ming thought to himself.
If only Yan Kai and Xitron, two powerful locals from Carlos, showed up here, he wouldn't be surprised; but as a member of the alliance, Hinata came all the way here to carry out the mission, which meant that this operation was not simple. Could there be a deeper conspiracy behind the Miare Gang...
"Isn't this Audrey? I'm so glad you're okay!"
Just then, a young man in a suit and tie came jogging over and asked Yin Yue about her well-being.
"I'm fine, no need for your concern," Yin Yue's face suddenly turned cold, and she subconsciously took several steps back.
Not only Yin Yue, the expressions of the other people were not looking good either. Even Yan Kai, the commander-in-chief of the operation, couldn't help but frown.
"It seems like this guy doesn't have a good relationship with other people." Yang Ming complained in his heart.
Facing Yin Yue's cold face, the young man did not seem angry. Instead, he still smiled and said, "Audrey, this black market raid was so successful, and you have made an indispensable contribution. I have already applied for a reward for you from the top leaders of the alliance." As he spoke, he raised his head proudly, as if he had done something great.
"Jamaica, Deputy Commander, if you have nothing to do, please don't block the road. I have something else to do, so I'll leave now." Yin Yue said coldly. After that, she took Yang Ming's hand and walked out.
Jamaica looked at Yang Ming being dragged away by Yin Yue, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes. He quickly chased after him and said sarcastically, "Audrey, who is this? It's against the rules to take a stranger away."
Yin Yue stopped and said coldly: "He is my undercover agent planted in the black market, Deputy Commander Jamaica, you even want to control my people?"
Jamaica sneered, "Undercover? How come I haven't received any relevant reports? I suspect there is something wrong with his identity. I have to stay and investigate it thoroughly."
Yan Kai stepped forward and said seriously, "Jamaica, Yin Yue made a great contribution to this operation. The undercover she arranged is trustworthy. Don't cause trouble here for no reason."
Jamaica's face changed, but he still said with all his strength: "Lord Yan Kai, I am also concerned about the safety of the alliance. Just now, you all only believed Audrey's one-sided words and believed his undercover identity. Isn't this a bit hasty?"
Yan Kai was silent for a moment. Indeed, they all believed Yang Ming easily because of Yin Yue's alliance background and her past military exploits, and did not examine his identity.
The atmosphere gradually became solemn, but as the center of the vortex, Yang Ming's face did not show any tension or worry. Instead, he whispered to Yin Yue with a relaxed look.
"Why does this Jamaican boy call you 'Audrey'? I've never heard of you having such a nickname."
"Don't mention it," Yin Yue said unhappily, "I also have a job as an actress on weekdays. Audrey is my stage name. This guy kept pestering me after knowing this."
"So that's how it is..." Yang Ming remembered that he once heard Serena mention that in recent years a new star named Audrey had appeared in the entertainment industry. It seemed that this was another identity of the little rich woman.
Seeing the two people behaving intimately, Jamaica's expression became more and more ugly, and all this naturally fell into Yang Ming's eyes.
"I thought this guy could see through my identity at a glance. He must have amazing wisdom that ordinary people can't reach. But in the end, it was just an accident?"
