“Ah~!”

A scream echoed in a resident’s home in a certain community.

Although the gate was tightly closed, it was crowded inside with men wearing suits and strong physiques.

“A Ghost Tamer? I’ve seen enough of those things that are neither human nor ghost. Yan Li, you’re not the most miserable one. Although I don’t have the courage or ability to deal with ghosts, I have plenty of experience dealing with people.”

A somewhat indifferent young man held a whip and looked at Yan Li, who was chained to the ground with his hands and feet nailed.

“Ask again, where did you put the ghost you caught in the mall? Is it in the hands of someone named Yang Jian?”

“I don’t know, I won’t tell you. If you have the ability, take the ghost in my body.” Yan Li lay on the ground, covered in blood.

However, his ability was too weak and almost useless against humans. At this moment, he was tied up by people and nailed to the ground with no way out.

The chains and nails were specially made of steel mixed with gold.

Although some corners were cut, it was more than enough to deal with Yan Li, a Ghost Tamer.

“What’s the use of the ghost in your body? I want that item. It doesn’t matter if you don’t tell me. I’ve already sent someone to Yang Jian’s place. As long as I confirm that the thing is there, you’re done for today. But with your personality, it’s impossible to hand such a precious thing over to a rookie like Yang Jian, even if he’s also a Ghost Tamer.”

This indifferent young man’s name was Hao Shaowen, and he was in charge of this operation.

“If I die, the ghost will come out and you won’t be better off.” Yan Li gritted his teeth.

Hao Shaowen sneered, “What does that have to do with me? I’ll be long gone by then. Let the international police clean up the mess. Do you think I’ll be afraid of you just because you died from a ghost’s revival? Ghosts are ghosts, and you’re you. They’re not the same. You can’t scare me. I’m just doing my job.”

After speaking, he swung the whip in his hand and hit Yan Li’s head with a heavy blow.

Yan Li screamed in pain, and a small part of his skull was concave, as if his brain was about to crack.

An ordinary person would have died from such a heavy blow.

But Yan Li only felt pain and screamed, showing no signs of dying.

“Hmph, you’re really tenacious. No matter how hard I hit you, I can’t kill you, this ghost thing. But you’re only capable of this much.” Hao Shaowen swung his whip at Yan Li’s arms and legs a few more times.

Yan Li’s bones cracked, and his flesh was torn apart, but no blood flowed out.”No matter how much you hit me, it’s useless. Anyway, I won’t live much longer, and you won’t get that box.” He laughed miserably with blood all over his face.

Hao Shaowen raised his eyebrows at his words. “So, you really put that thing in the hands of a rookie named Yang Jian? A new driver of ghost power who doesn’t know anything. You really have enough trust.”

Despite the torture, Yan Li had already guessed something. The thing shouldn’t be in Yan Li’s hands, otherwise he wouldn’t be so tough.

“Call Wu Feng and tell him that the thing is in the hands of that person named Yang Jian… The usual routine, if the price negotiation fails, just kidnap his family. A little kid like him will be scared after a scare. Don’t think he’s a ghost driver and he’s afraid. If that doesn’t work, cut off a few fingers of his family and send them to him. Don’t be too afraid of the ghost driver. They are all short-lived ghosts. If you are really afraid of retaliation, just hide for a few months.”

Hao Shaowen suddenly said.

Of course, what he called price negotiation was almost a forced purchase.

No one would agree to the price, let alone the kidnapping and threats that followed.

“Okay, boss, I’ll call Wu Feng now.” A subordinate next to him immediately said.

“Hehe.”

Suddenly, at this moment, Yan Li laughed miserably a few times.

“What are you laughing at?”

Hao Shaowen coldly stabbed the stick into his mouth. “Don’t you want your tongue?”

“I’m laughing at you finding the wrong person. You have guessed that the box is in Yang Jian’s hands, but you definitely don’t know why the box is there.” Yan Li endured the pain all over his body and said, “It’s not that I want to put the thing in his hands, but I simply can’t get the box back.”

“What do you want to say, Yan Li?” Hao Shaowen asked.

“I want to say that although Yang Jian is a newcomer, he’s much harder to deal with than me. You will regret it if you really plan to take the thing from him.” Yan Li said, enduring the pain.

“Is that so? I want to try and see what that little kid can do.” Hao Shaowen sneered.

Although he was wary of ghost drivers, he wasn’t afraid.

These people were all short-lived ghosts, and they didn’t dare to use their own ghost power easily. Once they used too much, they would die from the revival of the ghost.

Moreover, the power of the ghost couldn’t affect gold.

As long as a few things were made of gold to trap the ghost driver, they would be trapped and unable to turn the tables.

“Boss, Wu Feng’s phone can’t get through.” At this time, the subordinate next to him put down his phone and said in surprise.

“Can’t get through?”Hao Shaowen frowned, “Try calling the others, Xiao Mao, Liu Shao, everyone. It’s impossible that no one can be reached.”

“Boss, we’ve tried, but no one answered,” everyone replied.

“But don’t bother, they must be unlucky,” Yan Li panted and grinned, “If you go after Yang Jian yourself, you might have a little chance to catch him off guard. Sending Wu Feng over is really risky.”

“Silence him, nail him here, and let him wait for death,” Hao Shaowen’s face darkened. “Come with me to Wu Feng’s place.”

He thought a young punk like Yang Jian wouldn’t be hard to deal with, so he focused on Yan Li, but unexpectedly, he encountered trouble there instead.

As they were preparing to tape Yan Li’s mouth shut, a knocking sound suddenly came from the door.

“Hmm?”

Immediately, everyone’s movements inside the room stopped, and they all looked towards the direction of the door.

“Go see who it is,” Hao Shaowen glanced and said.

Someone walked over and looked through the peephole.

No one was outside.

“Boss, no one’s there,” the person reported.

“Since no one’s there, let’s continue working. You stay at the door and watch,” Hao Shaowen said.

But as the person continued to watch, knocking sounds came again.

This time, it was not the front door but the door of another room.

“What’s going on?” Everyone was shocked and looked towards the direction of the room.

“The room was checked before, there shouldn’t be anyone there.”

“No, I heard footsteps. Someone is walking in the room.”

“Boss, something doesn’t seem right… could it be that we’re so unlucky that we’ve encountered a ghost?”

At the mention of ghosts, everyone’s hearts tightened.

They dared to deal with a ghost controller because the ghost controller was still human, had reason, and weaknesses. But to deal with a ghost, even with ten times the courage, they wouldn’t dare.

There was no reasoning with a ghost that killed people.

“Is this a paranormal event? Are we so unlucky that we’ve encountered something with such a low probability?” Hao Shaowen’s face immediately turned ugly. He signaled, “Everyone leave here, forget about Yan Li for now, let him stay here and be killed by that ghost. We can leave safely, don’t panic.”

“Yes, Boss.”

The others didn’t dare to stay and prepared to open the door and leave.However, the man who opened the door turned pale: “It, it won’t open. The door won’t open.”

No matter how hard he tried, the lock on the door seemed unresponsive and wouldn’t budge.

“Everyone move aside, I’ll break the lock.”

Another person rushed up with tools, wanting to force the door open.

But at that moment, a faint sound of the door opening suddenly rang out.

The doorknob of the room door slowly turned down, and something inside seemed to be opening the door to come out.

Immediately, everyone’s hearts were in their throats.

“We’re done!”

Someone had already begun to despair.

They had all dealt with ghost tamers before and knew just how terrifying real ghosts could be.

“I think I heard someone say I’m handsome?”

The next moment, the door opened and Yang Jian, with a curious look on his face, poked his head out from inside and walked out.
