The death of General Manager Wu Yue was right in front of them.
At this moment, Sun Lihong no longer had the confidence she had before when dealing with Yang Jian. Although she appeared calm on the surface, she felt deep fear towards this young man who was still a high school student.
This fear did not come from the fact that Yang Jian was a Ghost Tamer.
It came from fear of Yang Jian’s ruthless methods.
To be able to kill people at such a young age, even Li Jun, the special forces major general, and Zhao Jianguo, the captain of the international criminal police, couldn’t protect Wu Yue.
Moreover, it wasn’t Yang Jian himself who took action, but Wang Xiaoming, Professor Wang.
At that moment, Wu Yue felt abandoned by everyone, as if he couldn’t even die properly.
If it were a seasoned politician using such methods, Sun Lihong wouldn’t be surprised. But she had to remember that this person in front of her was only eighteen years old.
He was still just a child.
Although he occasionally showed immaturity and innocence, it was only because his experiences and social knowledge had limited him.
As long as he didn’t die from the revival of a fierce ghost, Yang Jian would become a prominent figure in the future.
“As for the price of the transaction, we will follow the price set by the deceased boss and purchase the goods in Mr. Yang’s hands. What do you think, Mr. Yang?” Sun Lihong’s face tightened, feeling uneasy.
Yang Jian looked at her and said, “You… seem a little uncomfortable?”
“No, I’m not.” Sun Lihong replied.
“That’s good.”
Yang Jian patted the body bag on the table and said, “The things inside here are different from ordinary ghosts. They are a bit special. If you treat it as a normal business, I will definitely suffer losses. So I think it’s necessary for us to negotiate the price.”
“Is that okay?”
If it were the previous Sun Lihong, she would definitely refuse Yang Jian’s request. Wu Yue had already offered a fifty percent premium, and increasing the price would make her appear incompetent.
But… with the death of the General Manager.
Sun Lihong was afraid of offending Yang Jian, fearing that he would find a reason to kill her.
“I wonder how Mr. Yang wants to negotiate the price?”
“No rush, let me show you the goods first, so that you won’t think I’m asking for too much.” Yang Jian began to open the body bag.
“Ah~!”
Sun Lihong’s face turned pale, and she immediately left her seat and stepped back.
Inside were ghosts.
The danger of such things was unimaginable. Opening it now to inspect the goods, was that really just inspecting the goods? Could it be an excuse to kill her?
“What’s wrong? Miss Sun’s reaction is a bit excessive? Don’t be afraid, this thing is well-behaved and won’t harm anyone. Look, I opened it like this and nothing happened.” Yang Jian said sincerely.
At this moment, he seemed like an unscrupulous person walking a vicious dog on the street.
He said that the dog wouldn’t bite people, but in reality, it was just not biting him.
Sun Lihong was just an ordinary person, how could she dare to get close to such a dangerous thing?
“If you’re really afraid, you can stand further away and still see the same thing. I’m a good person, why would I make things difficult for you over such a small matter?” Yang Jian said as he took out a head from the body bag.
The face was pale, without any color, the eyes tightly closed, as if it had been taken from a corpse, still fresh.
Seeing the appearance of this head, Sun Lihong was first afraid, then shocked.
This person was Feng Quan, the first criminal detective in Dachang City…
As a local resident of Dachang City and working in a special company, she naturally knew about these special figures.
“I think you should recognize him. Feng Quan, the international criminal police… He went missing a few months ago after dealing with the supernatural events in Huanggang Village.” Yang Jian smiled lightly. “The price for two ghosts is indeed not that great, but if we include an international criminal police officer…”
“This price shouldn’t be low, Miss Sun. Shall we start negotiating?”
Sun Lihong gathered her courage and cautiously walked over.
Since Yang Jian was able to be so close without any issues, this ghost should already be restrained and most likely wouldn’t cause any harm.
But just as she approached.
Suddenly.
The pale-faced dead head on the table opened its eyes.
“Ah~!”
Sun Lihong was so scared that she collapsed on the ground.
Meanwhile, Wang Xiaoming, Professor Wang, personally watched as the company’s security personnel, under the command of Special Forces Major General Li Jun, lifted the ghost coffin from the car and carefully transferred it to another transport vehicle.
As he looked at the coffin, he felt neither fear nor dread. Instead, he felt an indescribable excitement and anticipation.
“This ghost coffin will play a huge role in our future research. If we can find a breakthrough from this coffin, perhaps the current situation will be completely reversed.””In the future, my research will completely change the world’s structure.”
Wang Xiaoming immersed himself in his own world, as if he couldn’t wait to go back to the laboratory to examine the characteristics of this ghost coffin.
“Professor Wang, although I am an outsider and shouldn’t say much, out of responsibility to the country, I still need to remind you that this thing… is very dangerous.”
Zhao Jianguo walked over and lowered his voice, “Based on my understanding of Yang Jian, if this ghost coffin is really valuable, he wouldn’t easily let go of it. It can’t be acquired with just 550 million. He said before that there is a ghost imprisoned in this coffin. This may be a hidden danger. If possible, I don’t really want Professor Wang to open this coffin for research.”
“If that ghost inside is released again, it will probably cause a terrible disaster. Although I have heard about the protective measures of the research institute, danger is still inevitable.”
However, Wang Xiaoming smiled and said, “A thousand years ago, thunder and lightning struck from the sky, killing both humans and animals. From emperors to common people, everyone feared it. Who could have imagined that a thousand years later, we would be able to control this power? And we can even apply it in various aspects of life.”
“I don’t care about the essence of fierce ghosts, but since they exist, there must be a way to control them. The most obvious result is the emergence of ghost tamers. However, the utilization rate of this method is not high, and this ghost coffin provides me with an opportunity to make a breakthrough.”
“Even if it’s dangerous, it’s all worth it.”
Zhao Jianguo couldn’t understand the mindset of a researcher, but he felt that Professor Wang was doing something very dangerous.
This made him very uneasy.
Just as he was about to remind them again, Sun Lihong, who was responsible for the transaction with Yang Jian, hurriedly came over.
“Professor Wang, there are some things I can’t decide regarding the transaction with Yang Jian. I hope you can pay attention to it.” Sun Lihong’s face didn’t look good, and she had a look of panic.
Although Wang Xiaoming was only the director of a research institute, he had a lot of power.
Wu Yue’s company mainly served the research institute and maintained the operation of the laboratory. The real decision-making matters were all up to Wang Xiaoming.
“Can’t you find someone else to take care of the company’s affairs? I have something to do later and don’t have time to manage the company’s operation.” Wang Xiaoming waved his hand impatiently.
“Professor Wang, but this matter involves the former International Criminal Police of Dachang City, Feng Quan.” Sun Lihong said.
Feng Quan?
Upon hearing this name, both Wang Xiaoming and Zhao Jianguo were stunned.
Right.
How could they forget about him?
Wang Xiaoming suddenly remembered that Feng Quan was not dead. He was only trapped in Huanggang Village. There were occasional reports during that time, although there was no news afterwards, the chances of him still being alive were high.
But when they left the village before, they only saw Yang Jian and that Zhang Han.
Feng Quan didn’t show up, so they thought he was already dead.
“Is Feng Quan still alive?”
Zhao Jianguo immediately walked over and asked.
“He is alive. He’s over there.” Sun Lihong pointed to Yang Jian sitting under the sunshade.
Next to Yang Jian’s desk, Feng Quan’s head was placed neatly.
Zhao Jianguo took a glance and immediately realized, “Feng Quan fell into Yang Jian’s hands? What’s going on? Could it be that what Yang Jian traded with you is him?”
Selling an International Criminal Police officer as a ghost?
What kind of operation is this?
Yang Jian really is fearless as a newcomer. He dares to do anything.
“We must buy him.”
Wang Xiaoming immediately said, “Feng Quan is also very valuable. Not only is he an International Criminal Police officer, but he is also the main informant in the Huanggang Village incident. He will play a crucial role in my future research work.”
“Yang Jian does have the intention to sell, but his asking price is a bit high… I can’t make the decision.” Sun Lihong said.
Wang Xiaoming said, “Money is not a problem. As long as you ensure the safe return of Feng Quan in the transaction, I don’t care about other things.”
“By the way, how much is his asking price?”
Sun Lihong hesitated for a moment and said, “He wants everything.”
“I’m not interested in money. If he wants everything, then give it to him.” Wang Xiaoming didn’t react much.
“…”
Zhao Jianguo, who was on the side, held back his words and said, “He is blackmailing you. If you agree, it’s equivalent to giving the entire company to him. Without funding, it will be difficult to sustain your research institute. Even if the higher-ups allocate funds, it won’t be immediate. Don’t you want your research work to stop?”
“And he doesn’t really want money. The previous 550 million was already enough for him.”
“If he doesn’t want money, then what does he want?” Wang Xiaoming asked.
“I think it’s something more valuable, something related to ghost tamers.”Zhao Jianguo said, “When people achieve complete financial freedom, they usually start to consider their own life, health, hobbies, and the like.”
“He is a ghost controller, of course he would consider things related to ghost controlling.”
Wang Xiaoming said, “Haven’t we already agreed to help him control the second ghost, to delay the resurrection of the fierce ghost?”
“That was the previous deal, it shouldn’t count in this, you might need to talk to him personally.” Zhao Jianguo said.
Wang Xiaoming looked at the ghost coffin that had already been loaded onto the car and said, “I don’t have time now, I have to return to the lab immediately. Feng Quan also needs to take away and cooperate with my research work as soon as possible. Well, Manager Sun, go to my car and bring that golden box over, the rectangular one, it’s next to my seat.”
“Okay, alright.”
Sun Lihong immediately responded and turned to leave.
In a short while, she brought over a rectangular golden box.
“What is this?” Zhao Jianguo asked with some doubt.
“The latest achievement of the lab, it hasn’t been officially released yet, only a very small part has been used, and I heard it has a good effect.” Wang Xiaoming took the golden box and walked over.
