Protection

At this moment, a cordon has been set up at the entrance of Guangjiang Residential Area.

A large number of people were carefully investigating the area and dealing with the bodies scattered in various places.

The scene wasn't bloody; instead, it was eerie.

Most of the perpetrators' bodies had no fatal wounds or signs of being struck, but their heads were all severed and rolled around the corpses, their faces showing utter terror. It's unknown what they saw before they died.

However, a few of the vicious criminals were shot dead with handguns, leaving blood everywhere.

"Reporting to the captain, there are a total of twenty-three bodies of the criminals. A large number of firearms and drugs were left at the scene. Based on the biometric data collected and compared from the scene, most of these criminals are foreign nationals who entered the country through various means such as tourism and work. Many of their visas have expired, and some extremely dangerous remote-controlled bombs were also planted at the scene."

"Fortunately, the bomb did not detonate. The area has been cordoned off, and we need to wait for bomb disposal experts to arrive."

"That's what one of the staff reported."

Upon hearing this news, Captain Liu immediately felt a headache coming on. This was no longer a case that he, as a team leader, could handle alone; it needed to be transferred to higher-ups.

Inside the villa.

Zhang Xiangui asked with some concern, "How could something like this happen out of nowhere? They're actually fighting with real weapons. Anyone who didn't know better would think it was a movie shoot. Yang Jian, what exactly happened?"

Sitting on the sofa, Yang Jian sipped tea and ate something. "They came for me, Mr. Zhang. You don't need to be nervous. This will only happen once, and it won't happen again. However, this incident has caused you a lot of trouble, and I can only apologize."

Actually, the person he felt most sorry for was Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei died in this incident.

But he was resurrected by the ghost mirror.

He just didn't tell Zhang Xiangui about this.

"Trouble is fine, as long as this doesn't happen again," Zhang Xiangui said. "Pistols, sniper rifles, and bombs—it seems you've messed with some serious people."

Yang Jian glanced outside. "What are they? They're just a few rats. The really tough guys have already run away, but that's only temporary. I'll deal with them in the next few days. Once I've taken care of them, Dachang City will be under my Yang Jian, and all the losses will be made up for."

Seeing Yang Jian's confident and calm demeanor, Zhang Xiangui felt much more at ease.

"If Mr. Zhang doesn't trust me, he can stay away for a while and come back after I've dealt with this matter."

After thinking it over, Zhang Xiangui decided that it would be better to avoid the situation for the time being.

He dared not get involved in such matters.

Although this incident caused a great stir, its actual impact was minimal.

The residential complex hadn't officially started sales yet, so there were very few residents and not many people knew about it. Moreover, the casualties were all left behind by these bandits. Yang Jian was fine, Zhang Wei was revived, and the others weren't involved at all.

This is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

The remaining tasks are simply to investigate and collect evidence, clean up the scene, and do some follow-up work.

"Yang Jian, can we talk outside?" Captain Liu asked as he arrived at the door.

"Of course," Yang Jian.

Team Leader Liu led Yang Jian to a slightly secluded spot and whispered, "I didn't ask before, but the site cleanup is almost complete now, so I hope you can cooperate with me on some issues. I know people like you are not ordinary, but since some people dare to openly use firearms and bombs, I have a duty to bring them to justice."

Yang Jian, "Actually, I know what you want to ask, Captain Liu. This case isn't that complicated. I know perfectly well who's behind it all. It's just that ordinary people can't handle their affairs. Taking rash action would only increase casualties, which is something I don't want to see. So I'll handle this matter. But those armed assailants are probably from a company; they've been hired."

"I hope Captain Liu will investigate them. Dachang City will not allow these outlaws to run rampant."

"Is this another paranormal event?"

Team Leader Liu nodded solemnly. "I will report this matter to Zhao Kaiming and see if he can come up with a solution."

Upon hearing Zhao Kaiming's name, Yang Jian gave a cold laugh, "You'd better not go after that guy. He's behind this whole thing, and he'd love to use someone else to do his dirty work and get rid of me."

"How is that possible?" Captain Liu exclaimed in surprise.

"The struggle between people never ends. This has nothing to do with you, Captain Liu; it's a matter between us," Yang Jian. "If there's nothing else, I'd like to go back and rest as soon as possible."

After thinking for a moment, Captain Liu said, "Thank you for your cooperation in the investigation. I will notify you immediately as soon as there is any progress in the case."

"By the way, I'd like to ask Captain Liu to keep the firearms left behind by those people for me after the investigation and evidence collection," Yang Jian suddenly added.

"This is against the regulations," said Captain Liu.

Yang Jian, "I know, I'm just staying for a while."

In a few days, once he becomes the second person in charge of Dachang City, he will naturally have the authority to mobilize these weapons.

These are all firearms specially made to deal with Ghost Tamer; it would be a real shame if they were destroyed.

"I understand. This batch of weapons will stay with me for at most three days," Captain Liu said.

"That's enough," Yang Jian nodded.

At this very moment.

Wang Xiaoqiang, who had failed to escape from Guangjiang Residential Area, returned to his club.

The club was now completely deserted.

All members tacitly agreed to leave, and all shareholders disappeared. The only surviving shareholder, Ma Youcai, couldn't wait to withdraw his shares and went into hiding.

With Ye Feng as their trump card, they could have completely turned the tide.

Who could have imagined that this operation would fail?

A desperate gamble only resulted in a disastrous outcome.

"Yang Jian." In front of the empty club bar, Wang Xiaoqiang drank strong liquor and let out a low growl.

He knew that everything he had was ruined.

And soon, we won't be able to stay here anymore.

Once the operation is exposed, this place will be sealed off immediately, and trouble will likely follow.

But he was not willing to give up.

He had worked so hard to build all of this not simply as a business club, but as a stepping stone to realize his ambitions and ideals.

"Beep beep, beep beep~!"

Just as he was drinking alone in silence, his phone suddenly rang.

"Xiaoqiang, come to me right now." His older brother, Wang Xiaoming, said over the phone.

"No, I'm not going to that damn lab. I haven't forgotten what you did to me. I'm a mess because of you. I treated you like an older brother, but you used me as experimental material."

Wang Xiaoqiang gritted his teeth and growled, "What else do you want to do now? Continue with your damn experiments?"

"Yang Jian wants to kill you. If you stay at the club, you're dead."

Wang Xiaoming's voice was calm yet authoritative. "If you don't want to die, get over here. You've caused a huge mess this time. The higher-ups have already tacitly approved Yang Jian's actions and will fully cooperate. If necessary, they might even dispatch other Ghost Tamer to provide support."

"You're doomed if you stay in Dachang City. Only by coming to my lab can Yang Jian avoid killing you."

"My affairs are none of your business. Do you think Yang Jian can just kill me whenever he wants? I'm Ghost Tamer too," Wang Xiaoqiang roared.

Wang Xiaoming said, "The ghost inside you won't last much longer; now is not the time to be stubborn."

"I told you, my affairs are none of your business," Wang Xiaoqiang roared.

"You piece of trash, are you trying to drive me crazy? Get back to the lab right now!" Wang Xiaoming couldn't help but yell angrily.

"Bang!"

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Xiaoqiang slammed the phone to the ground, smashing it to pieces.

"I'm not a piece of trash." He grabbed a bottle of strong liquor and chugged it down, letting out a ferocious roar.

"I'm not useless, I'm not."

He sat on the ground, drunk, and cried helplessly.

Wang Xiaoqiang felt a sense of helplessness and fear of death.

He knew Yang Jian would come to kill him.

Although she had considered running away, her pride wouldn't allow her to do so.

He didn't want to hide like a stray dog, nor did he want to beg his older brother, Wang Xiaoming, for protection.
