Everyone faces the same thing, but makes different choices.

Jiang Yan chose to stay with Yang Jian despite knowing his identity as a Ghost Tamer, and placed her trust in him.

Only those who have experienced hell can truly appreciate the beauty of the world.

Only those who have encountered fierce ghosts understand the happiness of being alive.

In this world of insecurity, even if Yang Jian transforms into an evil ghost, Jiang Yan is willing to seek refuge with him.

“It’s gone up again. How do you know that the price of gold will continue to rise? I’ve been paying attention to the gold price recently, but I think it has already peaked and is likely to drop. As proven by the recent rapid climb and subsequent slow decline, it’s very risky to invest 10 million at this point.”

Sitting in front of her computer in a thin nightgown, Jiang Yan was excitedly watching the trend of the gold price on her laptop, while ignoring any occasional exposure of her body.

Yang Jian was lucky to have invested 10 million at the opening of the stock market today, as the price of gold first fell and then skyrocketed.

“I don’t understand the stock market, but I know that the price of gold will definitely continue to rise. I just want to make some extra pocket money,” Yang Jian said.

Jiang Yan was excited and asked, “Do you have insider information?”

“No, it’s just a guess,” Yang Jian replied.

Of course, it wasn’t just a guess. Gold is no longer just a currency, but a national strategic resource and a necessity. The rise in price is inevitable.

Jiang Yan thought that Yang Jian must know something, otherwise how could he guess so accurately. After all, he was a criminal investigator, a person whom even the captain Liu had to salute, not just an ordinary security guard.

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but invest her own savings of tens of thousands of yuan into gold, and chose the highest risk and benefit leverage, with the smallest capital to earn the maximum profit.

But the risk was also high.

“Since you’re sure that gold will rise, I plan to use the riskiest trading method to help you earn a big profit. And I’ve also invested money in it. If I lose, you can’t blame me,” Jiang Yan said.

“Up to you. As long as you buy gold, I don’t care about the rest,” Yang Jian said, confident in his judgment.

“Okay, leave it to me,” Jiang Yan said excitedly.

Yang Jian, on the other hand, spent most of his free time browsing the International Criminal Police Organization’s website.

The special website that was only accessible to international criminal police officers from different countries.

He did this just to gain more knowledge on the subject.

But on the website, Yang Jian did not see the news about the fierce ghost that passed by yesterday.

“Such a big event cannot have gone unnoticed by all countries… it seems like this major event is being deliberately concealed and not exposed,” he shook his head, feeling disappointed.

The cooperation between countries was not close enough, no wonder the International Criminal Police Organization had to be divided by region.

Although it appeared to be a union, in reality, everyone was looking out for their own interests.

For the past three days, Yang Jian rarely went out and stayed in Jiang Yan’s apartment.Jiang Yan worked very hard, and according to her, the initial ten million yuan had already turned into over twenty million. Now, she was so excited that she couldn’t sleep, as if the money was her own.

But this morning, Yang Jian received a call.

It was Zhang Wei, who said that there was a serious matter and asked Yang Jian to meet him at a designated location.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Jian thought it would be better to go and see.

“I have something to do, I’ll be back later.”

“Where are you going?”

“Just taking a walk nearby,” Yang Jian said.

Jiang Yan hurriedly asked, “Will you come back tonight?”

“Of course.”

After saying that, Yang Jian left.

Driving through the noisy city, it was hard to imagine that supernatural events were happening all over the world, including several in Da Chang City, such as the A-level “Ghost Knocking on the Door” event and the S-level “Starving Ghost” event. However, most people seemed to have no sense of it and continued with their daily lives as usual.

“Sometimes ignorance is bliss,” Yang Jian sighed, looking at the people coming and going on the sidewalk through the open car window.

Soon, he arrived at the pedestrian street where he had arranged to meet Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei was already there, standing in the crowd, apparently arguing with someone and seemed to have started a fight.

“I’m not arguing with you to prove that I’m better than anyone else or that I’m great. I just want everyone to know that I, Zhang Wei, must get back what I’ve lost with my own hands…” he pointed to the ground, his tone forceful.

“Zhang Wei, what are you doing? You called me early in the morning, what’s the matter?” Yang Jian shouted.

Zhang Wei heard someone calling him and looked up to see Yang Jian had arrived. He was overjoyed, “Yang Jian, I’m here. Please move aside, move aside, let’s call it a day for today’s events.”

Then he pointed to someone and said, “I’m not afraid of you, nor am I trying to escape. I just don’t want my friend to see my cruel side. You’re lucky today.”

“Who were you fighting with? It looked like you were about to fight. What happened?” Yang Jian asked.

Zhang Wei sneered, “There was a junior high school student with a terrible attitude. He dared to cut in line when buying ice cream. I was just showing him what it means to be a ruthless adult.”

“…”

“Never mind, let’s not talk about it. Come on, let’s go to the coffee shop. I have something to discuss with you,” Zhang Wei said.

After they sat down at the coffee shop, Zhang Wei asked, “What have you been busy with lately? Are you still working at that mall? I went there yesterday and heard that there was a murder and it was completely sealed off. The boss’s name is Tang An, right?”

“How do you know so much?” Yang Jian asked in surprise.

“That mall was built by my dad. I asked him about it before. Tell me, is it really haunted?” Zhang Wei said.

“You guessed it right. It is indeed haunted,” Yang Jian said.

“Damn it, I knew it. Whenever a place is inexplicably sealed off, it’s usually haunted. It was the same with the school, the residential area, and now this mall…I feel like I can’t stay on this planet anymore. If I could immigrate to Mars, I would be the first to sign up,” Zhang Wei said, shivering.”There’s no problem now, everything there has been taken care of. By the way, why did you come to find me?” Yang Jian asked.

Zhang Weidao replied, “Actually, I wanted to ask you about something earlier.”

“What is it?” Yang Jian asked.

Zhang Wei furrowed his brows deeply, showing that it was not a simple matter. He whispered, “Just last night, while I was playing PUBG on my computer, a supernatural event occurred. I think it might be a haunting, and it’s probably a terrifying curse similar to the stories on your forum.”

“Can you be more specific?” Yang Jian asked.

“It was during the final circle, and I survived until the end… but the upper right corner showed that there was no one left, and then I died in a strange way. The screen showed that I failed to win. If it was just once, it could be explained, but it happened three times in a row. Do you think there might be a ghost playing the game? After feeling that something was wrong, I couldn’t sleep all night. Now I can barely keep my eyes open, so I wanted to buy some ice cream to refresh myself.” Zhang Weidao asked solemnly.

Yang Jian replied seriously, “I don’t think you encountered a ghost, but rather… a cheat.”

“What?!” Zhang Wei looked at Yang Jian in surprise. “Really? It’s a cheat? Is there a possibility that it’s a ghost?”

“You’re thinking too much. There’s absolutely no possibility. It’s a cheat. You were killed three times by the cheat,” Yang Jian said.

“I see… I thought it was a ghost,” Zhang Wei fell into deep silence.
