Jiang Yan seemed to have been fully revived, running around aimlessly in the five-story sales office.

"Wow, this living room is huge! It's like shopping in a mall!"

"The second floor is the conference room. These sofas are really nice; they're so comfortable to sit on."

"The third floor is a gym and a swimming pool! That's amazing!"

"Fourth floor. Huh, who's in that room?"

When Jiang Yan reached the fourth floor, she was surprised to find that the door to one of the rooms was open, with a dim light flickering inside and sounds coming from it.

"Is it a person or a ghost?" She became a little scared.

It was only then that I realized I was all alone in this huge villa, and the quiet surroundings were a little eerie.

"The place Yang Jian arranged definitely won't be haunted." Jiang Yan felt a little more at ease thinking this, and she cautiously leaned over for a peek.

But there was someone sitting at a computer desk in the room, playing games.

"Hmm? There are footsteps." Zhang Wei, sitting in front of the computer, frowned and realized that things were not so simple.

Identify the location by sound.

Zhang Wei immediately looked at Jiang Yan outside the door.

"Thief? There's nothing to steal here, get lost and stop bothering me while I'm playing my game."

"I'm not a thief, who are you? What are you doing in my house?" Jiang Yan said immediately.

"Your home? What proof do you have that this is your home? Just because you're wearing stockings? Or because you smell like lamb skewers?" Zhang Wei curled his lip and said disdainfully.

Jiang Yan said, "I'm Yang Jian's girlfriend. This is a villa that Yang Jian bought. How can it not be my home? Who exactly are you? If you don't tell me, I'll call the police."

"Yang Jian's girlfriend? I've never heard that kid mention her." Zhang Wei took off his headphones, stood up, and said, "Are you really Yang Jian's girlfriend?"

"Of course, we often sleep together," Jiang Yan said.

Zhang Wei said, "Call me Dad."

Huh?

Zhang Wei said in a deep voice, "Yang Jian is my son. You two have developed into this situation, shouldn't you call me Dad?"

"Ah, Uncle?"

Jiang Yan was immediately flustered and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Uncle. I didn't recognize you. I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to. This is my first time here, and I'm not very familiar with the place."

She apologized repeatedly and bowed deeply.

They were afraid of offending Yang Jian's father.

"Call me Dad, say 'Dad' once, and we'll be family from now on," Zhang Wei nodded.

"Dad~!" Jiang Yan called out, both shy and happy.

"Sweetie, I'll give you a hard drive as a wedding gift later," Zhang Wei said with satisfaction. "Go play by yourself, don't bother me while I'm playing games."

"Okay, okay." Jiang Yan was taken aback.

Unexpectedly, Yang Jian's father, who looks so young, is addicted to computer games.

After leaving, Jiang Yan felt increasingly uneasy. Did Yang Jian have a father? She had never heard him mention him, but she had heard him say that his mother was away on a business trip and might be back soon.

Now.

Yang Jian carried in all four hundred kilograms of gold in one go.

"I never imagined a ghost could be used like this." He glanced at the black shadow behind him.

The ghostly figure resembled a clothes rack, with all the boxes filled with gold hanging on it. As Yang Jian advanced, it followed closely behind. The 400 kilograms of weight couldn't even crush a shadow that didn't even have a body.

Indeed, you can't talk science in front of ghosts.

The gold was transported to the fifth floor via elevator and then placed in a locked room.

Besides the investment idea, Yang Jian's main motivation for buying so much gold was to build a safe house.

A room covered in gold, temporarily safe from ghostly attacks.

Of course, this is just a concept.

To implement this, a very large amount of financial resources are needed.

Four hundred kilograms of gold is clearly insufficient.

But it's okay. For the safety of my family in the future, it's all worth it. At worst, the gold can appreciate in value here and can be used temporarily.

There will only be less and less gold on the market in the future.

Once the paranormal events fully unfold, it will probably be difficult to buy them with money in the future.

Therefore, Yang Jian is making plans for the future.

Money is useless if you keep it on you; you need to exchange it for something more valuable, not for enjoyment, but for a better life.

That's why he spares no effort in making money.

"Yang Jian, does your dad live here too?" At this moment, Jiang Yan found him and asked, "I think I saw your dad on the fourth floor just now."

"Your dad lives here," Yang Jian. "I died when I was in elementary school. You're probably having an encounter with a ghost."

"Huh? But, but just now there was clearly someone upstairs claiming to be your father, don't scare me!" Mentioning ghosts, Jiang Yan instantly shrank back, hiding behind Yang Jian.

Yang Jian, "Is there anyone else upstairs? I'll go check."

He frowned, thought for a moment, and realized there shouldn't be anyone else here, only himself and a few others.

Floors one through four.

Jiang Yan pointed to the room with lights on and said, "It's right there."

Yang Jian wasn't afraid. He walked over and took a look, only to find Zhang Wei sitting there playing games.

"I almost forgot, Zhang Wei has nowhere to stay, so he's staying here temporarily."

"Zhang Wei? Not your dad?"

Of course not.

Jiang Yan said, "But, but he clearly said you were his son just now."

"He's still my grandson," Yang Jian. "Don't bother me with such trivial matters in the future."

Jiang Yan instantly realized that she had been fooled by Zhang Wei.

He called out "Dad" for nothing.

We lost a fortune.

Thinking of this, she felt both ashamed and angry.

"Hey, Brother Leg's here? Want to play PUBG? I just bought this computer this afternoon, it's awesome." Zhang Wei greeted Yang Jian warmly.

Yang Jian glanced at it.

There are already four or five computers in the room, along with a new computer desk. It looks like he plans to stay here and play games like a shut-in.

"You still dare to go out and buy a computer? Aren't you afraid of dying?" Yang Jian.

"I discovered that as long as I cover my head with a paper bag, it doesn't matter if I look in the mirror. The ghost doesn't appear in the mirror. I'm so damn clever."

Zhang Wei took a paper bag, put it on his head, and cut three holes in it, revealing his eyes and mouth.

"But if I'm not mistaken, that ghost should be in this room," Yang Jian.

"Who cares? Anyway, all the mirrors here have been covered up, so nothing will happen. Don't worry." Zhang Wei was engrossed in playing the game.

Even ghost stories couldn't stop his determination to play games.

"You can play by yourself. I'm going to take a shower and go to bed. Tomorrow I need to go to the neighborhood to find out why the workers are missing and why you're being haunted by a vengeful ghost. I don't want these properties to be stuck in my hands and unsold. I'm counting on this place to make money in the future," Yang Jian.

He can no longer play games without a care in the world.

After becoming Ghost Tamer, he encountered one cruel thing after another, and he had a lot to think about. He had matured without even realizing it.

However, compared to the maturity that comes from teetering on the brink of death, he longs for Zhang Wei's simple life.

A computer, a bed, and billions in assets.

I finally got to enjoy the luxury of a private swimming pool.

The faint smell of decay on my body was washed away.

Yang Jian suddenly remembered something.

Zhang Wei is here.

That ghost must be here too.

She knows to pay attention to the mirror; Jiang Yan had reminded her before to do so.

But there's still one person here.

That female car saleswoman, Zhang Liqin.

She didn't seem to realize that this place wasn't entirely safe.

"I hope this doesn't turn out badly." Yang Jian frowned, suddenly losing his appetite for bathing. He immediately left the swimming pool to find Zhang Liqin.

Once Zhang Liqin is attacked and replaced by the ghost in the mirror, it's hard to say what will happen next.

"Sister Jiang, did you see Zhang Liqin earlier?" Yang Jian asked as he entered the room.

At this moment, Jiang Yan, hiding under the covers, poked her head out and said, "I... I didn't see anything. Are you sure there really is a ghost here?"

"Yes, there is one, but it doesn't have a big impact," Yang Jian.

"Then, you shouldn't look anymore, just go to bed." Jiang Yan said with a mournful face; "I'll give you this spot, this little bit is enough for me."

Without Yang Jian, she'd definitely have trouble sleeping tonight.

"No, Zhang Liqin doesn't know what's going on here. If she gets hurt, you'll all be in trouble too," Yang Jian. "I'll just go and remind her. Once she knows, she can just avoid us a little and it'll be fine."

"Then come back quickly, I'll be waiting for you," Jiang Yan said.

Yang Jian didn't reply to her; instead, he immediately turned and left.
