Back at the apartment.

Yang Jian took a shower and changed his clothes, finally getting rid of the faint smell of corpses that lingered on him.

After staying in Huanggang Village for several days, he felt that the smell of death on his body was getting stronger. This change was not only physical but also psychological. He almost couldn’t feel any fear towards corpses, death, or blood anymore.

It seemed like he was born to adapt to it.

Apart from that, the psychological change was the most terrifying.

It felt like Yang Jian and the fierce ghost inside his body were slowly assimilating.

When he walked out of the bathroom.

Jiang Yan, sitting in front of the computer, looked at him with an expression as if her parents had died: “I’m really panicked now, I feel like I’m going bankrupt.”

“What happened?” Yang Jian asked.

Jiang Yan said, “Do you remember the last time you asked me to invest in gold?”

“If you didn’t mention it, I almost forgot. I made some money from that last time and was planning to let you continue managing it for me.” Yang Jian said, “Just like last time, investing in gold.”

“It’s better not to.”

Jiang Yan hurriedly stopped him, “Now we can’t invest in gold anymore. The trading of gold, both domestically and internationally, is completely regulated. It’s now impossible to sell what I earned with you last time, which was over three million. It’s stuck there and can’t be withdrawn.”

“Where did you get so much money?” Yang Jian asked.

Jiang Yan felt a little embarrassed, “Loan, I borrowed some.”

“I feel relieved hearing you say that.” Yang Jian said.

“What are you relieved about?”

“With your previous experience, I’ve decided not to invest in gold anymore. It seems that countries have started to regulate the financial market. The situation is becoming more and more severe. The best way to handle the money we have now is to convert it into physical assets. Otherwise, I’m afraid it will depreciate heavily in the future, like ten thousand yuan for a bun.” Yang Jian pondered for a moment.

This straightforward way of making money in the stock market is no longer effective.

He himself could notice this, and those financial professionals probably received the news long ago.

Now that various countries have intervened forcefully, investing in gold is probably like throwing money into the water.

Although he didn’t understand finance, he had heard Jiang Yan explain some things recently.

“Ah, hearing you say that, I feel like I can’t survive anymore. I’ll have to eat dirt. What about the interest? I feel like I have to sell the house to pay off the debt.” Jiang Yan lay down on the bed, rolling around while holding a pillow, crying without tears.

“Seeing you like this, I don’t know why, but I feel a little happy in my heart,” Yang Jian said with a hint of schadenfreude.

“Did you receive the news early? Why did you know to withdraw all your funds that day?” Jiang Yan suddenly sat up, looking at him suspiciously.

Yang Jian said, “It’s hard to explain this situation. Sometimes, even if you’re unlucky, you might die while walking. Just accept your fate. You won’t get rich in this lifetime.”

“No, no, I worked hard to earn this money. I still have a lot of debts. How am I going to live in the future?” Jiang Yan grabbed her head, not knowing what to do.

Suddenly, she remembered something and caught Yang Jian’s attention: “By the way, how much money did you earn this time?”

“Just a little over ten thousand.” Yang Jian said.

“I don’t believe it. You’re so capable that you even spent all of Liu Manager’s wife’s money. After working hard for a week, how could you only earn a little over ten thousand? You must be lying to me.” Jiang Yan said, “Tell me, I’m your accountant. If I don’t know your cash situation, how can I manage your assets for you?”

Yang Jian thought for a moment, “Just a little over ten thousand.”

“How much exactly?”

“Not much, 550 million.” Yang Jian said.

“What?”

Jiang Yan jumped up from the bed in shock, her eyes widened, and her mouth opened as if she had seen a ghost, “550 million? What did you do these past few days? Did you rob a bank?”

“Robbing a bank is not as fast as what I earned. Besides, it’s illegal. If you’re not careful, you’ll end up in jail. I’m going to be the boss of Dachang City in the future. How could I do such illegal things?” Yang Jian said.

“You’re right, robbing a bank is indeed slower than what you earned.” Jiang Yan couldn’t help but swallow her saliva, her eyes shining.

The previous Yang Jian was only worth around 20 million, at most a small fortune. But now, with over 500 million, he was already considered wealthy.

A local tyrant!

She not only held onto a big thigh but also a golden one.

She would become prosperous in this lifetime.

“With so much money now, can you lend me some? I’m in urgent need. I’m about to starve to death.” Jiang Yan leaned over, holding his arm, intentionally getting close with a mature posture, and said in a coquettish and tempting tone.

Yang Jian said, “In this day and age, people ask their parents or friends for money, or they ask the bank for a loan. There’s no reason to ask the boss for money. Besides, I’ll give you your salary next month, according to the highest market price. Don’t worry, you won’t starve.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll pay you back as soon as I get the money from the stock market. Besides, if I can’t repay the debt, they will take back this house and you’ll have nowhere to live,” Jiang Yan pleaded desperately.

“You reminded me of something. I was actually planning to buy a house in a slightly remote area from the city today. I won’t be living here anymore in a couple of days,” Yang Jian said.

“No, no, can’t you forgive me for saying the wrong thing? How about this, give me ten million, no, give me one hundred million, and I… I’ll…” Jiang Yan’s eyes flickered as she made up her mind.

“What will you do?” Yang Jian asked.

“I’ll mortgage myself to you. From now on, I’ll be yours and work for you.” Jiang Yan blushed even though she had a thick skin.

Working for him was a lie, being kept as a mistress was the truth.

“You’re thinking too highly of yourself. You’re already at an age where you can’t get married. Are you looking for a long-term meal ticket? I can see that you’ll only last another ten years at most. After all, when you get older, your work efficiency won’t keep up,” Yang Jian rejected her outright.

Jiang Yan almost spat out blood when she heard this.

I’m still young and beautiful. Can’t I find a husband?

I treated you like a man, but you treat me like a servant. Are you blind? Don’t you want a beautiful woman?

If it weren’t for being interested in you, I wouldn’t even consider one hundred million… I might consider fifty million.

“But you can’t just watch me die. When the debt collectors come, I won’t be able to survive…” Jiang Yan felt like she was going to collapse.

She had just attended a class reunion a few days ago, showing off her wealth.

If others found out that she was being chased by debt collectors, she wouldn’t be able to hold her head up high in the future.

Moreover, she had even planned to sell herself to repay the debt, but Yang Jian still didn’t want her. He thought she was too old.

Although there was a bit of an age difference, it wasn’t her fault. It was just that Yang Jian was too young.

“Although you don’t want to live, you still have to work.” Yang Jian said, “After helping me with this matter, you can die if you want.”

“…,” Jiang Yan stared at him strangely.

She now doubted whether Yang Jian had any humanity left. She was in such a miserable state, yet he didn’t want to help her despite being so wealthy?

“What else do you want me to do?” she asked weakly.

“I’m planning to give you four billion in cash to handle. You must exchange all of this money for physical gold in the shortest possible time, not gold stocks,” Yang Jian said.

“Why do you want to buy so much gold? You can’t eat it,” Jiang Yan exclaimed in surprise.

“With your intelligence, there are some things I really don’t want to explain to you. Just do it. I won’t ask you for a single penny. If you can handle this, I might consider giving you a bonus,” Yang Jian said.

Hearing about the bonus, Jiang Yan, who was now penniless due to the stock market, immediately rushed to him and asked, “How much bonus are you planning to give me?”

“How about five million?” Yang Jian thought for a moment and said.

Jiang Yan became excited and hugged his neck, kissing him on the face. “That’s great! I knew you wouldn’t stand by and do nothing. I love you, so cute.”

“There are conditions,” Yang Jian wiped the saliva off his face.

“No matter what conditions there are, I can agree to them,” Jiang Yan said confidently.

“I’m a reasonable person. I won’t let you work out of love. If you can handle this, I’ll give you a five million bonus. But when purchasing gold, you are not allowed to embezzle a single penny. You must try to negotiate the lowest price. Don’t mess around. If I find out that you’re doing something wrong, you know the consequences,” Yang Jian lightly touched her slender neck with his palm, his eyes showing a hint of strangeness and indifference.

Jiang Yan trembled.

A hint of fear involuntarily appeared in her eyes.

Although she usually got along well with Yang Jian, deep down, she still had a sense of awe for him.

He was a man who made people both love and fear.

But it was also because of this that he exuded a unique charm that he himself was not aware of.

This was a charm that modern urban men lacked, but it was also the most fascinating to women… and that was strength.

He dared to save people in a haunted mall, imprisoning a desperate ghost with his own wit and ability.

He dared to pull out a gun in front of the troublemaking international police officer.

He dared to entrust billions of funds to a small accountant like himself.

These were things that an ordinary man couldn’t do, even Tang Boss, who could fire Manager Liu at will, was just a caterpillar in front of him.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely do it. I have classmates working in the bank and some clients who own gold shops. I have some resources. As long as I have enough capital, I guarantee that I will exchange your four billion for gold in the shortest possible time,” Jiang Yan said, her body tense and serious.”Good, there are over five hundred million in this card. You can transfer four hundred million for yourself, and send the remaining fifty million to a bank account under the name Yan Li.” Yang Jian touched her neck, feeling a cold sweat breaking out.

He chuckled, “Don’t be nervous, after all, I’m not a malevolent ghost. I won’t harm you.”

“I’m not nervous, I’m just curious why you want to give fifty million to Yan Li?” Jiang Yan asked.

“I owe him.” Yang Jian replied.

He was a man of his word. He had tricked Yan Li with a fake makeup box out of necessity, for his own survival.

Since they had previously agreed to split the money from selling the headless ghost evenly, now that he had the money, he couldn’t deny the debt.

“Alright, that’s it. Get busy for the next few days. You can rest today, it’s too late. Go take a shower.” Yang Jian said.

Jiang Yan’s face turned red, and she obediently went to take a shower with a soft ‘oh’.

Heh.

She had no memory at all, still so easy to deceive.

Yang Jian looked at the large, soft bed, a victorious smile on his face.

Sleep.

While she was in the shower, he fell onto the bed and went to sleep.
