Moving House

"What is this? It's such a small box, yet it's so heavy!" Zhang Liqin, a saleswoman, said breathlessly as she dragged a box into the elevator.

Let alone lifting it, even raising it would be difficult.

Although Jiang Yan was covered in sweat, she was full of energy and didn't feel tired at all.

"This is the empire I built," she said, squinting slightly, "I'll make an exception and let you see it, since you helped me."

As she spoke, she opened a heavy suitcase.

Inside, rectangular gold bars, radiating a captivating glow, appeared before Zhang Liqin's eyes.

"Gold?" Zhang Liqin was somewhat surprised; "These, all of these are..."

Her heart skipped a beat.

Those incredibly heavy boxes I just moved were actually all filled with gold?

"Of course, all of them. Although it doesn't look like a lot, it weighs a full four hundred kilograms and cost four hundred million," Jiang Yan said.

Zhang Liqin was clearly shocked.

As a car saleswoman, she had dealt with some big clients, including CEOs worth hundreds of millions, but transporting 400 kilograms of gold in one go was something she had never encountered before in her life.

"Why is your boyfriend buying so much gold?" Zhang Liqin suppressed her surprise and asked indirectly, hoping to get some useful information.

Jiang Yan said, "How would I know? He's usually so unreliable. Last time I asked him, he said he needed it for the house renovation, and this might not even be enough."

"Gold used for house renovations?" Zhang Liqin's eyes widened.

"That's what they say, but it's definitely not true. Maybe it's just an investment. Gold prices have been soaring lately, and the stock market is all regulated. I've got millions stuck in it. Investing in physical gold is definitely a good option." Jiang Yan's head started to ache when she mentioned it. "Unfortunately, I'm broke now and have no money to invest."

She's now eagerly awaiting Yang Jian's bonus.

Although this young man was a bit strange, he was very generous, spending millions on himself without batting an eye.

"Perhaps it's more than just an investment," Zhang Liqin thought to herself.

If it were any other business owner buying so much gold, she might think it was for investment, but a woman's instinct told her that Yang Jian definitely wasn't.

"When I get back, I'll buy some gold and keep it. I'll see if I can make a small fortune by following Boss Yang," she said with a smile.

Jiang Yan said, "Following Yang Jian will definitely be fine. He might cheat others, but he certainly won't cheat me."

Soon.

The two women, exhausted, slowly carried the gold to the car.

"Why are you so slow? I've been waiting for you for ages." Yang Jian squatted by the roadside, eating a skewer of lamb as he spoke.

"You heartless bastard! I helped you move your things, and you're eating lamb skewers here!" Jiang Yan complained.

Yang Jian, "Do you want to eat?"

"I'm not eating lamb skewers. I want to go to a French restaurant for steak and red wine. You're paying," Jiang Yan said.

"Is steak better than kebabs? Don't be ridiculous. You're making it sound like I can't afford such a small piece of steak. You really don't eat lamb kebabs?" Yang Jian.

Jiang Yan hesitated for a moment, then realized she was a little hungry; "Then, give me one."

After taking it, she carefully took a bite. "Mmm, it tastes good, really fragrant."

"Being a picky eater is a bad habit; you should quit." Yang Jian clapped his hands and stood up after finishing his meal. "Have you finished moving everything?"

Zhang Liqin, who was standing nearby, said, "Boss Yang, everything has been moved. It's all here."

"Don't call me Boss Yang. I don't run a company. Ordinary people call me by my name, people in the industry call me Ghost Eye Yang Jian, and friends usually call me Brother Leg. You can call me whatever you like." Yang Jian walked over, opened the trunk, and put the four hundred kilograms of gold in it.

"That's all? Don't you have any clothes or anything to move?"

He then asked a question.

Jiang Yan's mouth was covered in oil from eating, but she still wasn't satisfied and asked the chef next to her to grill ten more skewers, "I'll buy them now, anyway, all my clothes are old, you'll have to give me an advance on my salary later."

"It depends on your work attitude," Yang Jian.

"Pack it up, let's go. Don't eat anymore. It's too late to wander around outside. If you encounter any more ghostly things, you'll be in trouble. If I remember correctly, there should still be a ghost wandering around in Dachang City. We haven't seen it recently. I wonder where it's gone to."

"What?" Jiang Yan almost choked; "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

I hurriedly packed my things, got in the car, and rushed to grab the front passenger seat.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go!"

Yang Jian, "You're really afraid of dying. Miss Zhang, would you like to come along, or should I take you back?"

"Let's go together, the contract formalities haven't been processed for you yet." Zhang Liqin hesitated for a moment, then got into the car.

Of course, she wasn't just after the contract; her fear hadn't dissipated, and she felt safe with Yang Jian, so she didn't dare leave easily.

"Let's go then."

Yang Jian quickly started the car and drove towards Guangjiang Residential Area.

His satellite phone rang while he was still halfway there.

"Hello, Yang Jian, it's me, Zhao Jianguo."

"Is there anything else, Captain Zhao?" Yang Jian.

Zhao Jianguo smiled and said, "I've come to thank you. Thank you for your help in rescuing the Ghost Tamer Tong Qian from the Ghost Domain. And according to Tong Qian's report, you also dealt with a Ghost Tamer named Wang Yue and imprisoned that ghost?"

"You wouldn't be after my ghost, would you?" Yang Jian, "I sold the coffin to Professor Wang last time, but I don't plan to sell this ghost."

"No, no, no, please don't misunderstand. I'm just expressing my gratitude. It's a good thing that you've imprisoned that ghost. You've successfully eliminated another potential threat for Dachang City, which is a significant achievement. This will greatly help you in applying for the authority to be in charge. After all, the greater the achievement, the more preferential treatment you will receive from above," Zhao Jianguo said.

"If it weren't for the Huanggang Village incident, the higher-ups wouldn't have approved your request this time. Also, the formal procedures for the takeover of the Dachang City Manager still need to be followed. Someone will contact you within ten days. Don't worry, we will definitely keep our promises."

Yang Jian, "That's good. Is there anything else? I've been running around all day and I'm a little tired. If there's nothing else, I want to go to sleep."

"Sorry to disturb your sleep, but there is something else I need to inform you about. Just twenty minutes ago, it was confirmed that the Ghost Domain in Dachang City has disappeared, just as the previous files stated. The Door-Knocking Ghost has left."

Yang Jian, "Then you should be wary of other places. Once the Door-Knocking Ghost leaves Dachang City, it will definitely appear somewhere else."

"That's right. The higher-ups are already formulating an action plan to imprison the Door-Knocking Ghost. We can't let such a terrifying ghost roam around and kill people indiscriminately."

Zhao Jianguo said, "This operation report was very helpful, and I will recommend you for commendation. As for Dachang City, I'll leave it to you to take care of things."

"Whether it's a paranormal event that has occurred or not, as long as you resolve it and report it, you'll get credit for it, which will benefit you in the future."

"I'll report to the meeting if necessary," Yang Jian.

"Okay, then I won't disturb your rest any longer. Oh, and there's one more thing. The Ghost Tamer Zhao Kaiming, who was involved in this incident, survived. He didn't die. I hope you two can get along well from now on." Zhao Jianguo finished speaking before ending the call.

Yang Jian frowned as he listened.

Is Zhao Kaiming still alive?

This is really bad news.

But how did that guy survive the Door-Knocking Ghost?

He probably just controlled a ghost.

"Even if he survives this time, he probably paid a considerable price," Yang Jian thought to himself. "But even if he's not dead, he's still a potential threat."

His wariness of Zhao Kaiming was not due to his abilities.

Rather, it's this person's personality.

Like a venomous snake lying in wait, it remains dormant until it reveals itself, then unleashes a deadly attack.

If it weren't for dealing with Wang Yue this time, and if Zhao Kaiming's plan had succeeded in using Wang Yue and the Xiaoqiang Club to besiege him, he would have been doomed.

Killing Yan Li was not out of personal grudge, but rather to eliminate any potential allies around him and to drag Wang Yue into this conflict.

"Why would he go to such lengths to deal with me? He's always harbored a great deal of hostility towards me," Yang Jian pondered as he drove.

In principle, he and Zhao Kaiming had no enmity, and had never even met.

When they first met, Zhao Kaiming only wanted to recruit him, but he refused.

If the two have a grudge, there's only one reason.

Zhao Kaiming didn't want to give Ghost Tamer!

However, this reason is not sufficient.

Yang Jian had some doubts in his mind. He thought about it for a while but couldn't figure it out, so he didn't dwell on it. Since they were already enemies and their positions were clear, the reasons were no longer important.

Soon.

The car was parked at the sales office of Guangjiang Residential Area.

Zhang Xiangui was very efficient; he even removed the sales office sign and thoughtfully had workers erect iron railings around the sales office, which are now complete.

First-time visitors would never mistake this for a sales office; they would only think it's a luxurious European-style villa.

"Is this your new house?" Jiang Yan was stunned when she saw the five-story villa after getting out of the car.

"Yes, my classmate works in real estate. His father gave it to me, so I'll be living here from now on," Yang Jian.

"That's fantastic!" Jiang Yan cheered excitedly and immediately ran inside to see her future new home.

Zhang Liqin, standing to the side, was not surprised. It was normal for a tycoon who could spend hundreds of millions to live in such a villa.

"You're running away already? If you leave, who's going to help me move my things?" Yang Jian shouted.

I glanced at Zhang Liqin.

Zhang Liqin said somewhat embarrassedly, "I strained a muscle and now I'm too weak to move anything."

"Then you go in first, I'll do it myself." There was no other way; Yang Jian had to do the last bit of hard work himself.
