“Beep beep~!” The phone rang.

“Hello, who is it?”

Zhao Kaiming’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Zhao Kaiming, it’s me, Yang Jian.”

Yang Jian stood in the police station, holding Zhou Zheng’s satellite positioning phone and dialed the number.

“Yang Jian?”

Zhao Kaiming grinned, “It’s rare for you to call me, have you changed your mind? Are you willing to be my assistant and help me manage Dachang City?”

Yang Jian said, “Did you kill Yan Li and his family?”

He went straight to the point without any pretense or hidden intentions.

There was a pause on Zhao Kaiming’s end before he spoke, “Why do you ask?”

“Yan Li told me before he died that the people from the club wanted to kill him and warned me to be careful. But Wang Xiaoqiang from the club said he didn’t lay a hand on Yan Li and even wanted to get rid of me.”

Yang Jian said, “Someone deliberately used the club to target me. Yan Li was kept in the dark and couldn’t tell if it was the club or someone else who wanted to kill him.”

“If I were to fight against Wang Xiaoqiang and the club, who in Dachang City would be happy to see that? I think you, Zhao Kaiming, would definitely be one of them.”

“You know that Yan Li and I had a history of cooperation. His ability to control ghost blood was a great help to any international criminal investigator. So when he died, I indirectly lost a helper, and it also stimulated me to suspect Wang Xiaoqiang. If we were to fight, it would be killing three birds with one stone.”

“And the person who truly instigated the conflict can sit back and relax, watching the outcome and only appearing at the end to clean up the mess.”

“This is just my speculation, I don’t know if it’s correct.”

Yang Jian’s tone was very serious, filled with indifference and hostility.

“Hahaha.” Zhao Kaiming’s laughter came through the phone.

“What are you laughing at?”

After laughing for a while, Zhao Kaiming’s tone suddenly changed, becoming somewhat sinister, “Yang Jian, you have some brains, but you’re not smart enough. Yes, I killed Yan Li and his family. I deliberately used their deaths to provoke you and make you confront Wang Xiaoqiang’s club. You said before that you wanted to fight me to the end.”

“Do you really think I was just talking? Since I said it, I have to do it. You did quite well today. I’ve already received the news. Wang Xiaoqiang’s club suffered heavy losses, with over ten people dead, most of whom were killed by you.”

“You were ruthless, but unfortunately, you didn’t kill Wang Xiaoqiang. Of course, you can’t kill him either. The ghost he controls was personally selected by his brother, Professor Wang.”

“Although it’s not of a high terror level, it’s very special. It’s no problem for Wang Xiaoqiang to protect his life. Just think about it, if Wang Xiaoqiang didn’t die and saw what you did to his club, what do you think he would do? Would he kill your whole family in a fit of rage? Hehe, I would love to see what happens next.”

Yang Jian frowned, “I thought you would refuse to admit it, but I didn’t expect you to respond so straightforwardly.”

“Why should I refuse to admit it? You calling me already shows that you’ve guessed the truth. There’s no point in hiding it anymore. And now that you and Wang Xiaoqiang are at odds, even if you know that I’m the one instigating it, it’s too late. He won’t let you off the hook. He often says to let bygones be bygones, but in reality, he’s the most vengeful person,” Zhao Kaiming sneered.

“Besides, although Wang Xiaoqiang’s club suffered losses in Huanggang Village, it’s not just Wang Xiaoqiang who can control ghosts. Today, you were just lucky to encounter certain people who weren’t in the club. Give Wang Xiaoqiang some time, and you will regret it. Even if you control two ghosts, it won’t make a difference.”

Yang Jian said, “You’ve told me so much, aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you right now?”

His face turned dark.

This Zhao Kaiming was truly a venomous snake, lurking deep. If it weren’t for him discovering some clues through these events, Yang Jian would probably have been kept in the dark until the end.

“I will disappear temporarily during this period. Don’t worry, you won’t be able to find me. Until a winner is decided between you and Wang Xiaoqiang, I won’t show up. I’m not that foolish. If I were to appear now, I would face pressure from both sides. As long as I don’t show up, there will still be a struggle between you and Wang Xiaoqiang. I think your chances of survival will be slim.”

Zhao Kaiming said playfully.

“Young man, this society is very dangerous. You still have a lot to learn. Don’t think that just because you’ve read a few books and become a ghost controller, you’re amazing. In my eyes, you’re still too naive. You can’t handle the methods of an adult. Just like when you foolishly walked into Huanggang Village, to be honest, I thought you were already a dead man from the day you entered the village. I never thought you would come out alive.”

“But in the end, you actually survived and solved the paranormal events there.”

“Whether it’s luck or strength, I think you’re already a potential threat. The international criminal investigator of Dachang City can only be me.”

“Thud, thud thud.”

While Zhao Kaiming was speaking, Yang Jian didn’t respond. Instead, a dull knocking sound came from the receiver.One knock after another, it was as if they were pounding on his heart, making it almost impossible to breathe.

“What is this?” Zhao Kaiming’s tone changed, and he immediately asked.

Only then did Yang Jian’s voice ring out, “There’s a saying that villains die from talking too much. How much do you know about the ‘Ghost Knocking’ paranormal event? If you don’t know, you can find out later. Since Yan Li’s death and the incident at Xiaoqiang Club were all your doing, then I’m relieved. At least I know who the enemy is. So, I’m sending you a challenge first. If you can accept it, we’ll fight.”

With that, he hung up the phone.

As soon as the communication was cut off, Zhao Kaiming immediately realized something was wrong and promptly called his exclusive operator to retrieve the paranormal event file from the Seventh High School in Dachang City.

“Dachang City Seventh High School ‘Ghost Knocking’ event.”

After Zhao Kaiming had roughly read through it, his face looked particularly ugly.

“Those who hear the knocking will be found by that ghost… That’s a ghost that has already created a ghost realm. This damn Yang Jian, he’s playing dirty with me. Does he want me to die in that paranormal event? Well, very good, he learns quickly. He just taught him a lesson, and he’s already using the same trick on me, even bringing a ghost into it.”

Surviving from a terrifying ghost hand is very challenging, especially when that ghost has a ghost realm.

Yang Jian’s move can be said to be a masterstroke.

Even if Zhao Kaiming kills Yang Jian, the curse is still on him, and he still has to go through a terrifying event.

Most importantly, he has no idea when that ghost will appear.

At this moment, Zhao Kaiming wanted to slap himself. He shouldn’t have shown off and teased Yang Jian. As a result, he had trapped himself as well.
