Chapter 68 – Yan Li’s text message


Yang Jian looked at Zhang Wei as if he were stupid.

Playing a game and being killed by technology, he suspected it was caused by a ghost and was scared to not sleep all night.

“You are really excellent.”

“You called me here mainly for this?” Yang Jian asked.

Zhang Wei scratched his head, “There’s something else. After the incident at school last time, only a few of us were lucky enough to survive. Some classmates were hit hard by it and are transferring to other places to continue their studies. They won’t be in this city anymore.”

“Leaving Da Chang City?” Yang Jian pondered.

It was understandable that after such a serious haunted incident in the university, few people would have the courage to stay in the city. However, would leaving Da Chang City for another place be any better? Not necessarily. Paranormal events were not just a special event in certain areas, but a global phenomenon.

“Going to another place might be better. Maybe they won’t be so unlucky there,” Yang Jian said.

He did not explain the reason behind his statement because he was not sure if leaving Da Chang City was better or staying was better.

“But I don’t plan to continue my studies. My grades are average, and even if I continue to study and enter a university, it’s unlikely,” Zhang Wei said.

“What do you plan to do then?” Yang Jian asked.

“Of course, I’ll work at my dad’s construction company, and the suburban real estate in Da Chang City is still under construction. I plan to work there… By the way, do you want to move there too? Although it’s a bit remote, the transportation is convenient. It only takes about fifteen minutes from there to the city center. I can ask my dad to give you a set of houses.” Zhang Wei said seriously.

Yang Jian thought for a moment and said, “I’ll visit your construction site when I have time. If I need it, I’ll consider buying a house and settling down there.”

His mother was coming back from out of town, and he couldn’t go back to his rented house. He had some money now, so he could consider finding a place to settle down. Even though paranormal events were frequent now, he still had to live on. He couldn’t just sit and wait for death.

“Okay, it’s settled then. I’ll reserve a few shares of the premium houses for you,” Zhang Wei said excitedly.

If Yang Jian could move there, he would immediately move there too.

“Thank you,” Yang Jian said.

Zhang Wei then asked, “Did you eat before you came here? Let’s have lunch together.”

Yang Jian was about to agree when one of his phones rang.A short message popped up on his phone: “We’ve been followed. Protect the box.”

“It’s Yan Li.”

Yang Jian’s expression immediately froze, then he replied with a message: “What’s going on?”

“Not entirely sure, but I know someone has hired people to try and steal the box. The news of us catching a ghost has been leaked, it could be the club’s people… or it could be some underground organization. This circle is complicated, the waters run deep. I don’t have much experience with these things, so I can’t tell.”

“They dare to steal from the Ghost Tamer? Are they asking for death?” Yang Jian sent another message.

Yan Li replied: “They know my abilities, and they should also know that I’m reaching my limit. My ghost-taming abilities aren’t very effective against humans, so those people aren’t worried. But they probably don’t know about you, because you joined the International Criminal Police, and no one can access your files.”

After thinking for a moment, Yang Jian said: “Do… you need help?”

“Not at the moment, but I’m worried that someone has already gone to your side. If you can solve the situation smoothly, it would be best if you could help me out. I won’t be able to complete the transaction if I die, and the buyer has already been contacted.” Yan Li sent another message, along with a location.

“The situation is more complicated than I thought.” Yang Jian frowned as he looked at the messages on his phone.

What seemed like a normal transaction had attracted the attention of some people and forces.

It had even reached the point where they were willing to take action.

“This is just insane. They don’t even care about the Ghost Tamer. These people are too arrogant.” Yang Jian felt very uncomfortable.

But he quickly understood why.

The things that most people go crazy for are power and money.

They were after the ghost in the box.

There was no doubt that it was for their own benefit.

“The price of a ghost is far more than one billion yuan. Otherwise, they wouldn’t risk their lives to go against the Ghost Tamer.”

“The Ghost Tamer sounds nice, but it’s just someone who controls evil spirits. In other words… a ghost.”

“Yang Jian, what’s wrong? You don’t look too good. Is there anything I can help with?” Zhang Wei asked.

Shaking his head, Yang Jian said: “There’s a troublesome matter that I have to attend to. I’ll skip the meal. Let me know when there’s a gathering, I’ll definitely come back if I don’t have anything else going on.”

After speaking, he stood up to leave.

But just as he stood up, he saw six or seven men in suits with imposing manner rushing into the cafe and immediately began to drive people out and close the door.

Their actions were smooth and practiced.

Finally, they hung a sign outside that read “Closed for Business”.”Yang Jian, you need to leave quickly. These people are here to cause trouble for you, like kidnapping and extortion. Your identity as a rich second generation has been exposed, and it’s dangerous now,” Yang Jian suddenly spoke up, his voice loud.

“Huh?”

Zhang Wei was stunned and didn’t react, and Yang Jian’s words sounded strange.

The next moment, several people immediately rushed over.

“Oh my god, call the police to save me. I’m running away first,” Zhang Wei panicked and ran away.

“Stop, don’t run,” one person pointed at Zhang Wei.

But the middle-aged man in charge glanced over and said, “Don’t bother, he’s not Yang Jian. You are… Don’t play these little tricks. I have your information here.”

He then threw a few photos on the table.

They were taken in front of the mall.

There were him, Yan Li, Jiang Yan, Liu Dui, and others.

“Who are you people?” Yang Jian put down his phone and took a look.

The middle-aged man sat down and said, “My name is Wu Feng, and I am a business manager of a certain company. Here’s my business card. Nice to meet you… Yang Jian.”

Yang Jian took a glance at the card.

Apart from a name and a phone number, there was nothing else.

It seemed like he deliberately hid his information.

“Do you have something to tell me?” Although Yang Jian knew the intentions of these people, he pretended not to know.

Wu Feng looked at the café.

His men had already booked the whole place, and all unrelated people like waiters had been cleared out.

Seeing this, he said, “First of all, congratulations on becoming a new ghost tamer in Da Chang City. It’s hard to imagine that you were just a high school student before. You are very special and a precious talent. Do you want to join my company? I can offer you a monthly salary of 100,000 yuan.”

“Sure, but I need three months’ salary in advance.” Yang Jian nodded.

Huh?

Now it was Wu Feng’s turn to be stunned.

He was just testing Yang Jian to see how much he knew about ghost tamers and whether he was smart and mature enough. He wasn’t really recruiting him.

“What? You want me to work for your company, with such a high monthly salary, but you can’t advance my salary? I can tell that you are scammers,” Yang Jian said disdainfully.

Wu Feng smiled and said, “If you really want to work for my company, I’ll advance you a year’s salary.”

If he could recruit a ghost tamer with this amount of money, it would be a very cost-effective thing.

Did this Yang Jian never see money? He was moved by just a few hundred thousand yuan?

It seems that he is a student with little social experience.
