The Person in Charge Who Couldn't Be Reached

Linjiang City.

Tonight, the moon casts its shimmering shadows, and the starlight is hazy.

Armed police can be seen patrolling the streets from time to time to ensure the safety of the city.

At this very moment, a banquet is being held in a very famous hotel in the city.

Located in the city center, the hotel's towering floors are adorned with dazzling, shimmering lights. From afar, the night sky is ablaze with vibrant colors, a truly breathtaking sight.

The guests at this banquet were all prominent figures in the city, and the nearby streets were lined with luxury cars. The banquet was packed with distinguished guests, making for a truly spectacular scene.

With a forced smile, Yin Wenxian glanced around and noticed that the guests included many of the city's heavyweights—government officials, financial tycoons, real estate moguls, and representatives from the city's leading enterprises...

He was a little uncomfortable in such situations, which was related to his personal experience; he didn't like being in the public eye.

He was once a pampered little prince, but then his maternal grandparents passed away one after another, his mother also passed away, and his father remarried, and his life changed. His younger brother, who was only half a year younger than him, became the apple of the family's eye.

The Yin family is a large and wealthy family, a large part of which is the property left by Yin Wenxian's mother. However, Yin Wenxian has nothing to do with it now. He is only responsible for assisting his father and doing some shady things that are not suitable to be done in public.

Almost all of their relatives and friends tacitly agreed that Yin Wenxian was a person with little ability, far inferior to his younger brother.

But that's not the truth.

Yin Wenxian is very intelligent, but he doesn't dare to show it. He has already begun to suspect something about his mother's death...

He was forced to grow up over the past two years and secretly investigated for a long time, but unfortunately he still hasn't found any concrete evidence.

There were some Supernatural events recently. People in their social class are generally aware of the existence of "ghosts," so the casualty rate was relatively low.

Without a safe house made of gold, they can wrap themselves in gold bags. When their own lives are at stake, everyone will do everything in their power to find a way to survive. Ghost Grass doesn't have that much physical attack power. As long as they know the principle that "ghosts cannot affect gold," they will always find a way.

They had never personally experienced such a terrifying event before, always thinking that the Supernatural was far removed from them. Now, facing such terror head-on, they truly felt that times had changed. Having escaped this time, they naturally had to prepare for the next one.

This is how the banquet came about, but unfortunately, the people they really wanted to invite did not show up.

The former head of Linjiang City enjoyed a life of extravagance and adoration. Although arrogant and domineering, his personality was at least manageable and allowed for business dealings. The current head, on the other hand, is so low-key that he seems nonexistent. They used to be glad that there was no more bossy local tyrant above them, but now they can't wait to pay him a visit and become his sworn brother.

To be honest, they had never met Hu Jiu before.

After the disaster, many people wanted to reconnect with Hu Jiu, but they never expected it to be so difficult!

After finally managing to make indirect contact, all I received was a cold, indifferent reply, "As the person in charge of Linjiang City, I will do my best to protect the personal safety of every citizen."

Very official, very polite, and very disrespectful.

But these so-called powerful and wealthy people were helpless. The previous leader had taught them to be sensible and not to Ghost Tamers.

Yin Wenxian watched the people clinking glasses at the banquet, a cold smile playing on his lips. His foolish father had once naively thought he could use money to recruit Ghost Tamer as bodyguards, but he didn't understand the true needs of Ghost Tamer. Money and power were of little use, especially since Headquarters offered more. Why would they work for an ordinary rich man?

The banquet was originally intended to invite officials from Linjiang City to build closer relations, but it also had another purpose—to expand the safe house.

They all realized the importance of the safe house, and after the Supernatural event ended, they didn't want to wait even a quarter of an hour longer, so they hurriedly gathered together to discuss it.

Just then, someone leaned over and whispered something in Yin Wenxian's ear.

Upon hearing this, Yin Wenxian broke out in a cold sweat; he had been discovered!

When the city was sealed off by the Ghost Domain, he suddenly had a wicked idea and ruthlessly wiped out his stepmother's family, leaving no one alive. He thought he had gotten away with it, but he didn't expect that someone would still find a clue!

"Thank you for the reminder!" Yin Wenxian sincerely thanked his longtime friend, then excused himself to urinate and left the banquet.

He hurried towards the underground parking garage, knowing that time was of the essence and he had to deal with the situation as quickly as possible and erase all clues!

This was destined to be shady and illegal, but for his own sake and for his mother's sake, there was no turning back.

The car was not far away when Yin Wenxian suddenly felt the temperature drop sharply, the parking lot lights began to flicker, and the wiring seemed to be malfunctioning.

"Huh?" He suddenly froze, inexplicably having the illusion that he was alone and trapped in a confined space.

Beep beep--!

A car horn sounded behind him, startling Yin Wenxian so much that he quickly dodged and nearly fell to the ground.

Sizzle--

The car came to an abrupt stop, and Yin Wenxian glanced at it angrily, only to find that the car was completely empty.

Are you kidding me!

Is it haunted again?!

He turned and ran back in fright, and at the same time, the car lights in the underground parking lot turned on one after another, creating a terrifying and chilling scene.

Overwhelmed with fear, Yin Wenxian screamed and collapsed to the ground.

At that moment, the lights suddenly went out again, plunging the parking lot into deathly darkness. Footsteps approached, eventually stopping in front of Yin Wenxian.

He looked up and saw a young man who looked somewhat weathered.

"I'm going to ask you a few questions now, please answer truthfully." The young man scratched his cheek in annoyance. "If you don't cooperate, I'll have to resort to special methods to make you talk."

Yin Wenxian didn't know the other party's identity, but it was clearly not a ghost. Now that he knew the other party was human, most of his fear dissipated, and he began to think calmly, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

'Could it be that someone is playing tricks on me, trying to trick me out of my secrets?' Yin Wenxian was spurred into a fierce determination. He looked around and saw no one else. In a one-on-one situation, he was confident he could subdue his opponent.

Just then, the unfamiliar young man seemed to see through Yin Wenxian's thoughts. Without saying anything more, he stretched out a hand, and a hexagonal bell tied with a red rope dangled down. The bell then vibrated rapidly, emitting a series of crisp sounds.

Upon hearing the sound, Yin Wenxian froze on the spot, as if possessed. His eyes were glazed over, and his expression was blank. After a short while, he lost his composure, his will dimmed, and he lost consciousness.

"This is the third one already, will we finally be able to find out Hu Jiu's whereabouts...?"
