Zhang Wei's Arrest

"There are more and more ghosts in Dachang City. This is not a good sign. My previous guess was right. We should be in the peak period of paranormal events right now. Zhou Zheng was right. If we can't find an effective way to deal with paranormal events in the future, perhaps humanity will have no future."

Yang Jian took the elevator back to Jiang Yan's apartment.

Looking at the dark, silent stairwell.

Even though he knew there were no ghosts in the building, he couldn't help but tense up whenever he entered a dark environment.

It's become an unconscious reaction.

They knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Jiang Yan's voice came from inside the house.

"I am Yang Jian."

A hurried footstep came from inside the house. Jiang Yan quickly opened the door and saw that she had just finished taking a shower. She was wrapped in a bath towel, holding a hairdryer in her hand. Her hair was still wet, and her delicate face had a blush on it, making her look exceptionally alluring.

However, when she saw Yang Jian, her eyes sparkled with excitement.

"You've come at the right time. I have some good news for you."

As she spoke, she grabbed Yang Jian's arm, laughing as she pulled him into the house.

"What good news?" Yang Jian asked.

"In just five days, I spent a total of four hundred million! Four hundred million! I've never seen so much money in my life. I never dreamed that I could spend so much money in such a short time. You didn't see those managers and bosses today. They were all so respectful to me. They almost treated me like a god."

Jiang Yan was still excited as she recounted the events of the day.

The thought of how those company employees and managers looked at her filled her with a sense of satisfaction.

"So you mean all four hundred million was exchanged for gold?" Yang Jian.

"Of course, you can trust me to handle things. It's cash on delivery. I've been to almost every major bank and gold shop in Dachang City these past few days, and I've even gone to other places several times. I finally completed the last transaction today, a total of four hundred million yuan worth of gold. Look, it's all here."

She pointed to several large boxes on the ground.

"A full four hundred kilograms, but the price of gold is really high now, it's already risen to a thousand, and it seems I'm not the only one buying it."

Four hundred kilograms sounds like a lot.

Actually, there aren't many available right in front of us.

Yang Jian opened a box, inside which were neatly arranged rows of gold bars.

He casually picked up a gold bar.

It was cold and heavy, smooth as a mirror, yet his face was not clearly reflected; it was blurry, as if it were obscured by something.

In his eyes, these things were not money, but a necessary resource; gold was indispensable when dealing with vengeful ghosts.

"Becoming the Dachang City Manager grants a gold quota of 100 kilograms. Currently, this seems like a very good benefit, at least 100 million yuan in disposable funds. In the future, this stuff will definitely become more and more expensive, and there might even be regulations. At that point, purchasing such a large sum of gold will be almost impossible."

Once news of paranormal events spread, it sparked global fear.

Who would still sell gold?

People all over the world will go crazy for it.

At that time, I'm afraid there will be a price but no market for it.

"You'd better not contact those clients anymore," Yang Jian.

"Why?" Jiang Yan asked.

Yang Jian, "You bought so much from them. If gold prices skyrocket in the future, they might regret it and want to kill you, especially you, the big boss, who will be the first to suffer."

"Don't say that. With you here, who would dare to bully me? You're someone who can even control ghosts. You're the future boss of Dachang City. From now on, we'll be the ones bullying others, and no one will dare to bully us."

Jiang Yan's eyes still shone with excitement. She walked up to Yang Jian, stretched out her fair arms, and wrapped them around his neck, saying, "I've had such a wonderful few days, it's like living in a dream. Before, I was just a junior accountant, earning a monthly salary of ten or twenty thousand yuan and feeling quite smug. Compared to now, it's like heaven and earth."

"Driving Benz worth millions, spending hundreds of millions, thank you for making all my previous fantasies come true. Do you know what I want to do most right now?"

"They're definitely asking me for my unpaid wages. You did a great job. I'll give you a five million bonus. Work hard for me from now on. I can't guarantee anything else, but at least I won't delay your wages."

Jiang Yan gave him a charmingly reproachful look; "Silly boy, today I'm going to teach you a lesson, so you won't keep acting like a child all the time."

After saying that, she stood on tiptoe and offered her fragrant lips.

"What do you want to do?" Yang Jian's eyes widened.

"Remove the last two words." Jiang Yan licked her lips and gave him a flirtatious wink.

Yang Jian's eyes widened. "Auntie, you wouldn't do anything to a child, would you?"

Aunt?

Jiang Yan's lips twitched violently upon hearing this.

"Call me 'Auntie' if you want, I'm going to get you today, don't even think about lying to me again, I just finished taking a shower."

Her delicate face drew closer again.

But before she could even kiss the little man, a hand covered her face, and she slammed the ball down with a dunk.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"

Jiang Yan spat out her own hair, somewhat exasperated, and said, "What are you doing? Are you even a man? Don't you have any feelings for me at all? I even took the initiative, and you just slammed it on me? Just because you're tall doesn't mean you can be so great. Go find me a stool to stand on."

"Sorry, being tall doesn't make you superior, and you, a woman whose mind is full of lewd thoughts, don't you even look at the situation?" Yang Jian pointed behind him.

Jiang Yan's eyes narrowed at this moment.

Suddenly, a black shadow stood up behind Yang Jian, standing there stiffly like a person, exuding a chilling aura. Moreover, this person had no head.

"This, this is... a ghost?" Jiang Yan shuddered.

She recognized the ghost.

The headless ghost in the mall.

They killed dozens of people in the mall, turning almost everyone in the mall into zombies.

"Of course it's a ghost." Yang Jian narrowed his eyes.

Several parts of the headless ghostly figure emitted red light, but then slowly sank into the ground, transforming back into its shadow.

"After controlling the first ghost, I would be paralyzed for two or three hours every day. My mind was affected. No matter how beautiful a woman was, she was just a walking body in front of me. I could kill her without any psychological burden." Yang Jian touched her delicate neck, his eyes flashing red.

"After controlling the two ghosts, my paralysis was cured, my mental state improved somewhat, and my body gradually returned to normal. However, I have to devote some attention to suppressing the second ghost every day. If I'm not careful, I'll end up like I was before. That ghost is beyond my control, and perhaps at some point, it will even kill me."

"Your clinging to me is a dangerous thing, you know?"

Jiang Yan trembled slightly, and she leaned carefully against Yang Jian's chest. "Then you must be living a very tiring life."

Yang Jian was taken aback for a moment, then said, "This is the price. There's no such thing as a free lunch. I've been advising you to stay away from me for a long time, but you still cling to me. This puts me in a very difficult position."

Jiang Yan said somewhat aggrievedly, "What could I do? I was just happy today and couldn't control myself. Besides, I know you wouldn't hurt me, and I don't want to leave you. Jobs are so hard to find these days, what boss is as generous as you?"

"So, do you want money or your life?" Yang Jian.

"Of course it's deadly."

"That's right."

Jiang Yan added, "But if you're destined to be poor, what good is your life? You can't live the life you want, so I might as well be dead."

"."

"Whatever you want. I won't refuse if you want to continue working for me. I do need someone to run some errands for me. Pack your things in the next few days," Yang Jian.

Jiang Yan looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Let's move," Yang Jian.

"Dachang City is getting more and more dangerous. I was lucky today and encountered a ghost. I feel like there are more and more ghosts in the city. The more people there are, the greater the chance of triggering paranormal events. I'm planning to buy a house in the suburbs. My mom is coming back from out of town soon, probably in a few days. Oh, right, one car isn't enough for me. I'll transfer ten million to you later, and you can use five million to buy two cars. One must be a pickup truck, I don't mind if it's cheaper, I'm worried I'll need it to transport coffins or something in the future."

"The other car doesn't matter much, as long as it's fast. Don't buy a sports car, I'm not used to sitting in those, they're too low and the visibility is poor."

"I'll make a phone call and ask how the construction at my classmate's dad's site is going."

As he spoke, Yang Jian picked up his phone and dialed Zhang Wei's number.

"Don't worry, I'm an expert at spending money."

Jiang Yan suddenly became excited again, and while Yang Jian was dialing, she stood on tiptoe and kissed him.

"Huh? What are you doing?" Yang Jian stared at her with wide eyes.

Jiang Yan blushed slightly and said, "I didn't do anything, I just kissed you, it's perfectly normal, okay? It's even considered normal etiquette abroad."

"What's normal about it? Is this how it is abroad?" Yang Jian asked.

"No," Jiang Yan said shyly, turning her head away.

Yang Jian exclaimed in surprise, "You're actually shamelessly refusing to admit it! That's disgusting! I need to go brush my teeth!"

After saying that, he spat twice and wiped his mouth.

"No wonder he's so rich and still single."

Jiang Yan's chest heaved with anger; she bit her lip, tossed her head, and left.

I'm not playing with you anymore, I'm going to steal a bed and go to sleep.

"Yang Jian, how's things going on your end? Is everything settled? Is my cousin dead? If he is, I'll give Miao Xiaoshan a small gift later. How much do you think is appropriate? Is four hundred yuan too little? How about forty thousand? If it's too little, my status as a rich second-generation won't be apparent." Zhang Wei's voice came through the phone.

"Thank you for your trouble. They're not dead. I took them with me and we escaped. I have a question for you."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Wei suddenly yelled, "Damn it, get the hell out of my way! Go to hell, I'll kick you to death!"

"What happened on your end? Did you get into another fight? If so, turn on your video right away. I want to see how you got beaten up," Yang Jian.

Zhang Wei sneered, "I'm always the one who hits people, no one can hit me. Just now an old lady came in and started taking off her clothes. After taking off her clothes, she even tried to pull down my pants. She was probably here to rob me. You know I have a lot of valuables in my pockets. But it's all over now. I just kicked her away. It felt so damn satisfying. I'll take a picture and show it to you later."

"What's wrong with women these days? They have no manners at all. They have hands and feet, so why do they have to resort to robbery?"

Yang Jian, "You're absolutely right. Women these days are really inexplicable."

"Damn, that's disgusting. I didn't expect you to be even worse off than me. That daughter deserves to be torn to pieces. I deeply sympathize with your plight. By the way, what did Brother Leg want from me just now?" Zhang Wei asked.

"I wanted to ask if your dad's house is finished yet. I'm planning to buy it and move there; the city center is too dangerous," Yang Jian.

Zhang Wei said, "It's built, but it's not selling well. Why don't you choose another one?"

"What's wrong?"

"Several workers have gone missing. I think it's mostly because they've encountered ghosts. Such a big construction site, more than a hundred buildings, what kind of graves were dug, what kind of ponds were filled in? I think it's normal for one or two ghosts to appear," Zhang Wei said.

"But you're definitely not afraid, Brother Leg. If you have time tomorrow, I'll take you to see them. Those real estate developers who partnered with my dad are disgusting. Remember to find a way to squeeze them out of a fortune, make them buy dozens of buildings. It'll be useless, but it'll be satisfying."

"Bang!"

Before Yang Jian could speak, a door was suddenly broken down on the other end of the phone.

"Routine inspection," a voice announced.

Zhang Wei exclaimed with delight, "Brother, you've come at the perfect time! I was just about to report this to the police when this bitch tried to rob me. She came up and tried to pull down my pants, but luckily I reacted quickly and kicked her away. Arrest her and lock her up for a few months to teach her a lesson. Women these days really need to be disciplined!"

"Sit still, don't move, hands behind your head. What are you doing here?"

"Let's play PUBG!"

"Arrest him and take him away."

Zhang Wei struggled and said, "Brother, you've arrested the wrong person! You've arrested the wrong person! Damn it, this is for real! I'm innocent! I'm an adult, I haven't broken the law!"

"You're the first person in all these years to be so self-righteous. Take him away," another voice said.

"Brother Leg, save me! Brother Leg, save me!"

"Beep beep."

Yang Jian frowned as he listened to the busy tone on the phone.

What was Zhang Wei doing showing off again? He actually got arrested.

"Forget it, I'll ask Captain Liu again tomorrow. Anyway, they've been taken away, nothing bad will happen to them. It's not like they encountered a ghost."

He wasn't worried about this situation at all.

When he was about to go to bed, he saw that Jiang Yan had already taken her place, deliberately spreading her arms and legs to leave him no space, leaving only a small space to turn to the side.

That was where she often slept back then.

"If you don't want to sleep next to me, then sleep on the floor." Jiang Yan opened her eyes, looking quite smug.

"I'm your boss, and this is how you treat me?" Yang Jian.

Jiang Yan said, "I'm your only employee, and a woman at that. Shouldn't you take better care of me?"

"I almost forgot you're still a woman." Yang Jian walked over and yanked back the covers.

"What do you want to do?" Jiang Yan subconsciously covered her chest, becoming somewhat nervous.

Yang Jian, perched high above her, said, "Remove the last two words."

Jiang Yan's face flushed instantly. "You've figured it out?"

"What if you accidentally get pregnant? Should we use some protection?" Yang Jian asked, touching her delicate face.

"Then go buy it."

Jiang Yan pushed against her chest, blushing as she spoke.

"I'm a man, why should I care about this? I'll have children sooner or later anyway," Yang Jian said.

Jiang Yan thought for a moment, then blushed and hurriedly got out of bed. "Wait a minute, I'll be right back."

"Bang!"

The door closed quickly.

Her hurried footsteps echoed in the hallway.

"Ha, woman, you think you can outsmart me? My IQ is miles ahead of yours."

Yang Jian smiled contentedly and flopped onto the bed.

Sleep.
