“If you don’t want trouble, it’s best to leave here as soon as possible. That ghost baby seems to have targeted Wang Shanshan, and it’s constantly growing. The last time I saw it, it couldn’t use the Ghost Domain, but now it has a tendency to master it. Who knows what it will become next time.”
“I can feel that once that thing grows completely, the level of horror is unimaginable.”
Yang Jian returned to Wang Bin’s home and immediately spoke up.
“Are you human or ghost?” Wang Bin asked in fear.
“I don’t know, maybe human, maybe ghost. I’m not sure myself, but being able to save your lives is enough. But now is not the time to talk about this,” Yang Jian replied.
“Yes, yes, leave here. I’ll pack up some things,” Wang Bin realized.
“Is that thing dead? Will it not come again?” Wang Haiyan asked, still in shock.
“No, it’s very likely to come again,” Yang Jian said.
“What? Why didn’t you kill that thing? We hired you specifically to deal with that ghost thing. Now you let it go, what are we going to do in the future? If you can’t kill that thing, we won’t pay you. Who knows if you deliberately let it go,” Wang Haiyan exclaimed.
“Although Wang Shanshan and I are classmates, favors are favors, business is business. Are you trying to cheat me, Auntie?” Yang Jian looked at her.
“You want money before solving the problem? Do you think 500,000 is easy to earn?” Wang Haiyan said.
“You’re wrong, Auntie. It’s not 500,000, it’s 1 million,” Yang Jian said seriously.
“Who said it’s 1 million? My husband clearly said you asked for 500,000 before,” Wang Haiyan said.
Yang Jian rubbed his head and sat on the sofa. “It’s really a headache. I’m someone who sticks to principles. If Auntie wants to argue, I can’t do anything about it. I haven’t read many books and I lack social experience. Since that’s the case, let’s consider this trip as a free gift for Wang Shanshan’s sake.”
“By the way, Auntie Wang, what flowers do you like?” Yang Jian asked.
“Jasmine. Why are you asking?” Wang Haiyan said.
“Next time when we have a chance to visit the grave, I’ll bring some for you. If you encounter that ghost thing again, you can handle it yourself with your sharp tongue. I’m leaving. I hope you can leave this building safely later,” Yang Jian said.
He wanted to see if Wang Shanshan’s mother wanted money or her life.
He didn’t have time to argue here.
When Wang Haiyan saw Yang Jian leaving, her face changed immediately. She hurriedly apologized, “Wait, wait, what are you doing? Can we talk about this? Don’t be angry, Auntie apologizes to you. Besides, you and Shanshan are classmates and should help each other, right? Shanshan has been thinking about you these past few days.”
“It’s true that we’re classmates and helping each other is good, but I helped you just now. Now I’m poor and destitute. Shouldn’t Auntie help me with 1 million? I can’t just talk about favors while you talk about business. It makes me, a disadvantaged group, always at a disadvantage. So I learned to be a little smarter, and 1 million is not a penny less,” Yang Jian said seriously.
He was already very restrained and considerate by not getting angry in public.Wang Haiyan looked embarrassed. Of course, she understood what Yang Jian meant by saying that he was sent to escort her daughter Shanshan home last time and was given 200 yuan to leave.
Yang Jian said, “Auntie, don’t try to get too close. Although Shanshan and I are classmates, I have only met you two or three times. So it’s better for us to maintain a pure business relationship. You pay, and I help. It’s fair. You spend money to save your life, and I earn money by risking my life. That’s also fair.”
“Yes, yes, yes, that’s fair, but classmate, we gave you the money, and you have to find a way to solve this for us, right? Why did it come to our house instead of others?” Wang Haiyan said.
“It’s not here to find you, it’s here to find Wang Shanshan. Last time at school, I wanted to say that, but there were scarier things than this ghost baby at school, so I didn’t mention it much,” Yang Jian said.
“I think it’s because of the two handprints on Shanshan’s neck. She was attacked by the ghost baby once at school, and I saved her that time, but the ghost baby probably recognized her, so it came to attack her again. Of course, this is just my guess. I need to consult someone for more details,” Yang Jian said.
“Can you solve it?” Wang Haiyan asked.
“Pay me first, and then I’ll tell you,” Yang Jian said.
“Ding…”
Suddenly, his phone received a text message.
The message read, “You have received one million yuan.”
“What?”
At this time, Wang Bin walked out of the room and said, “Classmate, I have already paid you the money just now. I hope you can take care of Shanshan’s affairs. If you have any requests, you can ask us. As long as our family can do it, we won’t refuse.”
“You are indeed straightforward, Uncle Wang. You look like a successful person, efficient and trustworthy… But how did you get my bank account?” Yang Jian said, admiring Wang Bin.
“I work at a credit company, and out of professional habit, I took a copy of your information with my phone during the parent-teacher meeting at school,” Wang Bin said.
“No wonder there are only well-off families sitting around Shanshan’s seat, and poor people like me can only sit far away. Uncle Wang really put a lot of effort into it,” Yang Jian said. He was impressed by Wang Bin’s networking skills.
He had already established connections for Wang Shanshan before graduating from high school.
Wang Bin smiled awkwardly and didn’t say much. It was not his idea alone. Several well-off parents spontaneously organized it, and he just participated.
“Okay, it’s almost time to go,” Yang Jian said, looking at the time.
There was less than a minute left before they entered the ghost realm.
Soon, they left the residential area and quickly drove away from the area.
During this period, they did not encounter the ghost baby because it was still in the ghost realm. It seemed that the ghost realm could isolate other ghosts’ search.
This was important, and Yang Jian made a mental note of it.
“Yang Jian, I’m… I’m sorry,” Shanshan, who had calmed down a bit, secretly pulled Yang Jian’s hand and whispered.
“There’s nothing to be sorry about. I came here for the money,” Yang Jian said.
“Thank you,” Shanshan replied gratefully.
“Where do we go now?” Wang Bin asked as he drove.
“Anywhere is fine, as long as it’s far enough away from that residential area. Even if that thing wants to find us, it will take some time,” Yang Jian said.
“If we go abroad, can we get rid of that ghost thing?” Wang Haiyan asked.Yang Jian said, “What if we can’t get rid of it? And are there no supernatural events abroad? The supernatural events abroad are more severe than those in China, and there are no specialized people to handle such events. They can only hire people, so the price for handling such a thing abroad starts at several million dollars. Uncle Wang, you can inquire about it if you don’t believe me. I didn’t lie to you on the phone earlier.”
“What about the handprint on Shanshan’s neck… Can you solve it?” Wang Haiyan asked politely, not daring to be angry anymore.
She had already paid the money. If Yang Jian got angry and didn’t care, what would happen to her family?
Yang Jian thought for a moment and said, “I can only ask around. If I can’t solve this, then there’s nothing I can do. Shanshan can only leave it to fate.”
He immediately picked up his satellite positioning phone and called the operator Liu Xiaoyu.
With this matter of Wang Shanshan, he could also learn more about the knowledge of controlling evil spirits, which would also be helpful to him in the future.
Soon, Liu Xiaoyu answered the call.
“Yang Jian, is it you?”
“Yes.” Yang Jian said, “Are your operators online 24 hours a day? I can always get through whenever I call.”
“We provide one-on-one service. Each controller has only one operator, and I am your exclusive operator. Besides being responsible for communicating with you, I don’t do any other work.” Liu Xiaoyu said professionally.
“Okay, I don’t want to talk about such topics with you.” Yang Jian said.
“What’s the matter?” Liu Xiaoyu asked.
Yang Jian said, “I have encountered some trouble. I will tell you the general situation and see if you can give me some advice.”
