“Yang Jian, stop!”

A desperate shout rang out.

The person trying to stop Yang Jian was Zhang Han. In his eyes, Yang Jian didn’t want to live, but he still wanted to live.

He really didn’t want this transaction to be ruined by him.

However, Zhang Han was powerless. He didn’t have the ability or means to stop Yang Jian. In his current state, he couldn’t even use the power of a fierce ghost. If he tried to intervene, who knew if this madman Yang Jian would turn around and shoot him, blowing him away.

“Bang!”

But the gunshot still rang out.

Echoing over the fields on both sides of the road.

There was no head bursting open as imagined, no blood splattering.

The bullet passed through Wu Yue’s forehead and landed on the road behind, leaving a bullet hole.

“Hmm?”

Yang Jian frowned and wanted to shoot again.

But a voice suddenly sounded, “Someone will take responsibility for this, but it won’t be Wu Yue, it will be me. I had the records deleted. Wu Yue was just doing his job for the company, and technically, he did nothing wrong.”

At this moment, a group of special people walked towards them from the direction of the nearby RV.

Leading them was a young man in his mid-twenties, wearing a white coat and looking ordinary. Several people in military uniforms followed him.

Behind them were special armed security guards, armed with real guns and equipped with excellent gear, like a special forces unit from a movie.

Wu Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He couldn’t deal with Yang Jian without any preparation. Now he knew he was safe.

“Yang Jian, you didn’t expect this,” he forced a smile, although his body was still trembling.

“Being able to save Wu Yue from such a distance… is this the power of the Ghost Domain?” Yang Jian glanced over and ignored Wu Yue in front of him.

He quickly fixed his gaze on a middle-aged man in military uniform who exuded a dangerous aura.

Even the Ghost Eye seemed to want to open involuntarily, as if it felt threatened and instinctively wanted to counterattack.

A Ghost Tamer?

But it seemed to be of a terrifying level.

“I’m the one who had General Li save Wu Yue. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Wang Xiaoming, the director of a research institute. You can call me Director Wang, or Professor Wang, or just use my name,” the young man in the white coat, dressed like a graduate student, hurriedly walked over and said.

Wang Xiaoming?

That name seemed familiar.

Yang Jian couldn’t help but recall… it should be from the middle school textbook.

Wait.

This shouldn’t be the same Xiaoming.

“What’s the relationship between Wang Xiaoqiang from the Xiaoqiang Club and you?” Yang Jian asked.

“He’s my incompetent younger brother.”

Wang Xiaoming said, “If you have any questions, you can ask me. I will take responsibility for this whole matter. But before that, can you put down the gun?”

“It’s best if someone takes responsibility.” Yang Jian put away the gun and glanced at Wu Yue.

Wu Yue wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and almost collapsed.

“Please have a seat first.”

Wang Xiaoming pointed to the temporary table and chairs under the sunshade.

“I hope you can give me an explanation for this matter.”

Yang Jian threw the body bag on the ground and sat down.

Wang Xiaoming remained calm and pointed to the two people next to him, saying, “Of course, let me introduce the two people next to me to Mr. Yang. Zhao Jianguo, the captain of the Interpol Asian Division, and Li Jun, Major General Li.”

“Zhao Jianguo?” Yang Jian’s face changed slightly.

The superior of Liu Xiaoyu from the Interpol?

They had only communicated over the phone before. He didn’t expect that this incident would personally bring out Zhao Jianguo.

Zhao Jianguo smiled, “Indeed, heroes emerge from the young. Yang Jian, this should be our first meeting. Liu Xiaoyu has reported your situation to me many times. Thanks to your phone call, I had a legitimate reason to take paid leave.”

That phone call referred to the incident where Yang Jian threatened the Interpol.

“It’s best if Captain Zhao can come. Otherwise, this matter will never be resolved.” Yang Jian extended his hand and shook hands with him, then said.

The General Li Jun next to him didn’t speak, but his gaze remained on Yang Jian.

He should be a heavyweight Ghost Tamer, here to ensure the safety of this mission.

“It’s getting late now. Let me get straight to the point. The task of dealing with supernatural events is entrusted to you. According to regulations, you should be given a file to improve the survival rate of every Ghost Tamer and help them better solve supernatural events. However, the information in your file was concealed by Wu Yue. But he did it to prevent the leakage of intelligence and unnecessary trouble. I apologize for this.” Wang Xiaoming said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian narrowed his eyes and looked deeply at Wu Yue beside him.

“The company’s file can be concealed, but can the Interpol’s file be concealed?” Yang Jian’s face turned cold.

“Wu Yue doesn’t have the authority to do that, but I do. I had their file deleted.”

“Why did you do that?” Yang Jian’s face turned cold.

“For the country, for the nation, and for a permanent solution to the supernatural events that occur domestically.”

Wang Xiaoming said seriously, “Do you know how many people die every day in the country due to supernatural events? How many new supernatural files are added every day? Through big data analysis, it can be seen that the number of supernatural events in the country is increasing continuously and will soon reach a point where it can no longer be concealed or suppressed.”

“The disaster is on the verge of a comprehensive outbreak. If we don’t find a way to reverse the situation as soon as possible… the consequences will be unimaginable.””In the face of national righteousness and the survival of the state, personal sacrifices are insignificant, as long as they are worthwhile. Perhaps many ghost tamers died in this incident, but in my view, their deaths ensured the confidentiality of information and the recovery of the ghost coffin… This, is very worthwhile.”

After finishing, he glanced at the coffin on the sports car not far away.

As long as the ghost coffin leaves Huanggang Village, it’s fine.

“Easy for you to say, the one being sacrificed isn’t you. Just for what you said just now, I can’t help but want to kill you.” Yang Jian’s face twisted slightly.

As he finished speaking, a crimson ghost eye opened on his forehead.

A faint red light radiated out, spreading outward.

Major General Li Jun, standing aside, warned him without anger, “Professor Wang is a national treasure. His value far exceeds yours. If you dare to lay a hand on him, I will personally kill you here, even if it’s a pity to kill a talent like you.”

“You were able to protect Wu Yue just now because I didn’t use the power of the fierce ghost. That doesn’t mean you can really protect them.” Yang Jian said.

“You can try.” Li Jun said.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Zhao Jianguo hurriedly tried to mediate with a smile, “What are you all doing? One of you is a special forces major general, and the other is an Interpol officer from the Asian branch. You’re all on the same side. If you start fighting here and word gets out, won’t it make us a laughingstock? Now is the time for unity and mutual aid, to solve the supernatural event together. What’s the point of internal strife?”

“Yang Jian, I can understand your current thoughts. The alteration of the files indeed brought you a lot of trouble, but you should also understand Professor Wang. He is wholeheartedly working for the country. The existence of the ghost coffin has a significant impact on the current situation. If we can explore the value of this ghost coffin, then the supernatural event can indeed be well suppressed and resolved.”

Zhao Jianguo said, “Given Professor Wang’s approach, he paid such a high price to recover the ghost coffin, there must be his reasons.”

“Let’s understand and tolerate each other, okay?”

“Why should I believe this Professor Wang?” Yang Jian asked.

“You don’t have to believe him, but you have to believe in his contributions. He is one of the earliest professionals to study supernatural events. Before the outbreak of the supernatural event, he had already confirmed the existence of fierce ghosts and began to try to analyze them. At the beginning of the outbreak, he published several important papers, which played a crucial role in suppressing the supernatural event in the early stage.”

“You’ve visited that international website, you should have seen Professor Wang’s papers. Oh, his pen name internationally is Bruce Pi.”

Bruce Pi?

Yang Jian’s pupils contracted.

The one who wrote the paper “The Power of Fierce Ghosts Cannot Affect Gold”?

Wang Xiaoming said, “If you want to kill me, I don’t object. If you can do better than me, contribute more, you can shoot me dead, I won’t stop you. But if you can’t, I hope you can think about this country.”

“Are you serious?”

“I have no need to lie.”

Suddenly, Yang Jian placed his gun on the table, then slid it in front of him.

“Prove to me that you are truly working for the public, not for yourself.”

Wang Xiaoming asked, “How do you want me to prove it?”

“You like to measure a person’s value and make corresponding sacrifices, so I want to ask you, between an Interpol officer who can solve supernatural events and a general manager who maintains the operation of a company, which one is more valuable?” Yang Jian asked.

“Of course, the Interpol officer is more important. If I can solve a supernatural event by killing an ordinary person, I would do it without hesitation, because such a sacrifice is worthwhile.” Wang Xiaoming said seriously.

Yang Jian said, “Very well, if you personally kill Wu Yue, then I will join Interpol without hesitation, solve supernatural events for the country, and write off the matter of the files, because I believe you altered the files not for yourself, but for the country. If you can’t do it… your words are just empty talk to appease me.”

“As for Interpol, I absolutely won’t go. I can’t tolerate someone stabbing me in the back while I’m desperately solving supernatural events. Captain Zhao, what do you think?”

Zhao Jianguo’s face changed slightly, and he didn’t know what to say at the moment.

Yang Jian’s words indeed made sense.

If the alteration of the files was just an exception, it could be tolerated, after all, it was for the country.

But what if it wasn’t an exception, but for someone’s personal desires?
