Escape for Life

Afternoon.

Dachang City has deployed an operation to apprehend Wang Xiaoqiang and Ye Feng.

After reviewing all the city's surveillance cameras, Wang Xiaoqiang's location was immediately determined.

He's still inside Xiaoqiang Club. He hasn't come out since he entered the club yesterday. Unless he can disappear into thin air, he must be inside.

As for Ye Feng...

This guy sensed a bit of danger and hid in an old town area.

The exact location is unknown, but it shouldn't be difficult to find if a thorough search is conducted.

"Let's deal with Wang Xiaoqiang first. We can't handle Ye Feng for now, so we have to put him aside for now." Yang Jian also had his own considerations.

Start with the easy parts and move on to the difficult ones.

Taking out Wang Xiaoqiang, who is relatively easy to deal with, and then figuring out how to deal with Ye Feng, is in line with the current situation.

Moreover, this operation will not be carried out by Yang Jian alone; Zhao Kaiming and Sun Yi will also provide support. This is a clear arrangement from above, and we must obey it.

It's somewhat ironic.

Yang Jian and Zhao Kaiming, who are enemies, are now surprisingly cooperating.

"Zhao Kaiming will at most just show up and clock in; he'll definitely not do anything. As for Sun Yi, his abilities are unclear, but judging from our previous conversation, he seems to be a rather weak Ghost Tamer. We can't count on him too much, so this time I'll have to rely on myself," Yang Jian thought to himself.

It was precisely because Zhao Kaiming was there that he dared not directly confront Ye Feng.

If this guy stabs me in the back, I'm done for.

The law cannot restrain this vicious man.

After everything was ready, the operation began at 1:20 PM.

Yang Jian was a little late because he went back to get something.

When he arrived at the manor of Xiaoqiang Club, it had already been completely sealed off and surrounded.

To ensure absolute safety, nearly a hundred special operations personnel have been deployed here.

When Yang Jian got out of the car, the evacuation of the crowd had already ended.

"Yang Jian, all preparations are complete. The suspect, Wang Xiaoqiang, has been located on the third floor of that building ahead. We can move in at any time," the former Dongcheng District police chief said in a deep voice as he approached.

"You don't need to do anything, just surround this area. Leave the rest to me. Wang Xiaoqiang is a special agent; ordinary firearms won't be enough to deal with him unless we use weapons of mass destruction," Yang Jian.

"This is a very important matter. The higher-ups have given a strict order. If the operation fails, we will be held responsible. Don't force yourself," the bureau chief added.

Yang Jian, "As long as you don't neglect your duties, the operation cannot fail. What about Zhao Kaiming and Sun Yi?"

"Over there," the bureau chief pointed.

Yang Jian, "Just have them guard the left and right sides; I'll go in alone."

"It might be inconvenient for you to act alone. I'll send a team to support you," said the director of the Dongcheng District Bureau.

"No need, just have them keep watch outside," Yang Jian said after thinking for a moment.

Seeing Yang Jian's attitude, the bureau chief stopped insisting. Although he was in charge of the operation, Yang Jian's opinions had to be respected on the specific details, since he was now the person in charge of Dachang City.

"You really intend to kill Wang Xiaoqiang by yourself?" Just as Yang Jian was walking towards the club's gate, Zhao Kaiming, who was guarding the intersection, sneered. "If you kill him, how will you explain it to Wang Xiaoming?"

"Professor Bruce Pi is more important than you think."

Yang Jian said calmly, "If he doesn't die, how will Wang Xiaoming give me an explanation? But isn't this the ending you wanted?"

"That's true, but if you really kill his brother today, Wang Xiaoming comes after you, you'll be dead for sure," Zhao Kaiming said.

"Even if I die, I will definitely go after you. What do you think?" Yang Jian.

Zhao Kaiming naturally understood the implication in Yang Jian's words. He continued, "Aren't you curious why I want to kill you? Do you think it's just because you and I are competing for a position? I'm not a local. The position of head of Dachang City is dispensable to me. If I can't do it here, I can do it in another city."

"If it's not for the position of person in charge, then what are you after?" Yang Jian.

"You'll find out when you die," Zhao Kaiming said.

Yang Jian, "Then I think you should speak up sooner rather than later, while you're still alive, otherwise you might not have the chance to say it."

Zhao Kaiming sneered and remained silent.

Yang Jian ignored the guy.

Now is not the time to deal with this guy. After becoming the person in charge, if we want to kill Zhao Kaiming, we need to find a very suitable opportunity or use some special methods.

Now.

The third floor of the club.

Wang Xiaoqiang was lying on the ground, seemingly asleep. Around him were bottles of various kinds of alcohol, and the entire lobby was filled with a strong smell of alcohol.

It seems he was completely drunk last night.

However, he was not drunk.

Having become Ghost Tamer, he has lost many things. He no longer feels hunger, heat, or cold, and he is even less likely to get drunk.

A ghost lives inside my body, and everything I eat is fed to that ghost.

How could he possibly be drunk?

At this moment, most of the security guards, waiters, and lobby managers inside and outside Xiaoqiang Club have been apprehended, with only a few escaping.

"Boss, the situation is bad. We're completely surrounded. There are people everywhere outside."

A security guard and several waiters rushed over. When they saw Wang Xiaoqiang lying on the ground, drunk and asleep, the security guard hurriedly went over to try to wake him up.

The security guard was startled when his hand touched Wang Xiaoqiang's body.

At this moment, Wang Xiaoqiang's body was cold and stiff, and there was no heartbeat at all, as if he had died the night before.

"Ah, I'm dead."

However, before the security guard could finish speaking, Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly opened his eyes and sat up abruptly from the ground, his body behaving somewhat abnormally.

It's like a dead person suddenly coming back to life.

Upon hearing the security guard's words, Wang Xiaoqiang immediately sat up and looked out the window.

Really.

The area outside the manor was filled with people fully prepared for departure, and the entire club was completely surrounded.

"Boss, what do we do now?" The remaining people panicked.

Wang Xiaoqiang's expression changed. He was well aware of the current situation. What he had worried about yesterday had become a reality. Yang Jian had really started to take action. This time, he did not intend to deal with him alone, but instead used the power of Ghost Tamer to turn this personal grudge into a criminal case.

Run away!

Almost instinctively, this one word popped into his mind.

But then he hesitated.

Where can we escape to?

If he shows his face, he will be wanted by the entire Dachang City, and the same will happen if he runs to another city.

Just then, one of the waiters' phones suddenly rang.

"Hello~!" The waiter hurriedly answered the phone.

"Let Wang Xiaoqiang answer the phone," came Wang Xiaoming's voice from the other end.

"Boss, they're looking for you."

Wang Xiaoqiang's expression changed, and after hesitating for a moment, he still answered the phone.

"Did you see the situation outside the club? There are a hundred special forces personnel with live ammunition pointing at you right now. The nearby roads have been blocked off and are under martial law. In addition, Zhao Kaiming and Sun Yi, the examiner sent by higher-ups, are among them. They can provide support at any time."

"You are now facing three Ghost Tamer, as well as the power of the entire Dachang City."

Wang Xiaoming on the phone sounded like he was in a helicopter; his voice was somewhat noisy. "If you want to survive, follow my instructions. There should be several sports cars parked downstairs. Drive straight out the front door. If you're fast enough, I'll meet you on the ring road after you leave the city."

"As long as you get here, I can protect you." With that, Yang Jian went upstairs.

The call ended immediately after he finished speaking.

"Damn it." Wang Xiaoqiang gritted his teeth, struggling internally for a moment.

In the end, the will to survive prevailed over resentment towards his older brother, Wang Xiaoming.

"If you don't want to die, take the elevator downstairs and surrender. If you're too late, you'll be shot dead, and that's not my fault." He growled.

The others were stunned for a moment, then panicked and ran outside as if fleeing.

At that moment, Wang Xiaoqiang opened the window on the third floor, found a spot where he wouldn't be easily seen, and jumped out.

"Ding-dong~!"

The elevator doors on the third floor opened.

Yang Jian stood in the elevator, holding a golden baton in his hand.

However, as soon as the elevator doors opened, three or five people rushed inside in a panic.

"Yang Jian, the Dachang City Manager, if you don't want to die, put your hands on your heads and squat down." His face hardened and he immediately shouted.

The panicked crowd quickly covered their heads and crouched down on the ground.

"Where's Wang Xiaoqiang?" Yang Jian.

"It's inside," a waiter said, trembling.

Yang Jian's gaze sharpened. "Delaying time? So, he's trying to escape?"

When he arrived at the third-floor lobby, he heard the roar of a sports car engine, and then he saw a blue sports car speed out from downstairs and head straight for the main entrance.

The distance was instantly increased.

It has already exceeded the area covered by its own Ghost Domain.

"What gave you the desire to escape?" He stood by the window, looking at the roadblocks set up at the door, and frowned slightly.

Yang Jian saw no point in trying to escape.

Even if you manage to get out of here, is it possible to get out of Dachang City? Is it possible to get out of the country?

"It's Wang Xiaoqiang."

Sun Yi and Zhao Kaiming, who were guarding the left and right intersections, immediately spotted the person sitting in the sports car.

Wang Xiaoqiang's face was contorted with madness. Ignoring the roadblocks at the main gate, he slammed on the gas and sped up the car.

Where does he think he's going?

Zhao Kaiming, leaning on his cane, took a few steps forward with his prosthetic leg, seemingly indicating his willingness to pursue the murderer.

Sun Yi exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap, a sports car? Is Wang Xiaoqiang that rich?"

"Quickly, get out of the way and watch out!" a captain at the door shouted urgently.

The crowd dispersed.

The roadblock was instantly destroyed, Wang Xiaoqiang's sports car made a nimble drift turn, then headed directly north along the main road.

"Attention! Attention! The prisoner is fleeing from south to north in a blue sports car. All units at the intersection must intercept him!" the bureau chief in charge immediately shouted.

He felt ashamed at that moment.

This dumpling-making operation was actually thwarted by the prisoners finding a way out and breaking through.

"Hey, Yang Jian, don't stay in there! Wang Xiaoqiang ran away, did you see him?" Sun Yi used the satellite positioning phone of the International Ghost Tamer to communicate.

Standing at the third-floor window, Yang Jian watched the sports car speed away, his face calm as he said, "I know he can't get away."

"Don't say that. He's driving a sports car, and he can easily reach 200 km/h. Our car can't keep up." Sun Yi said, "Why don't you buy a sports car too? You could take me for a spin. I've never ridden in a sports car before."

"I told you, he can't escape."

Yang Jian said calmly, as a red light gradually emanated from his body, and the Ghost Eye on his forehead opened instantly.

A red light appeared from inside the club, like a powerful flashlight shining down.

The next moment, Yang Jian appeared at the doorway.

"Um?"

The others nearby were startled by Yang Jian's sudden appearance.

If it weren't broad daylight, I would have thought this place was haunted.

"Ghost Domain?" Zhao Kaiming looked at the red light emanating from Yang Jian's body and his Ghost Eye that had already opened, and he knew in his heart that this guy was going to get serious.

They are not stingy in using the power of vengeful spirits.

Yang Jian looked north along the wide road.

By this time, Wang Xiaoqiang's car had disappeared into the distance and was no longer visible to the naked eye.

This sports car, worth tens of millions, is probably the most worthwhile thing Wang Xiaoqiang has ever spent in his life.

"His escape was highly purposeful; his car was willing to turn around and flee north. In that case, there's only one possibility: someone is there to meet him," Yang Jian. "And given Wang Xiaoqiang's situation—he's already a wanted criminal—it seems only one person would be willing to help him escape."

Professor Bruce Pee.

That is, Wang Xiaoqiang's older brother, Wang Xiaoming.

"Intercept him before he leaves the city; Wang Xiaoming cannot take him away."

Once it falls into Wang Xiaoming's hands, the situation will become quite complicated. Given Wang Xiaoming's status and position, protecting his younger brother shouldn't be too difficult for him.

Immediately, a cold killing intent flashed in Yang Jian's eyes. The surrounding Ghost Domain no longer covered all directions, but purposefully formed a narrow path that could only be walked by one person, extending forward.

He thought about it for a long time yesterday.

Another use for the Ghost Domain.

It was Wang Xiaoqiang's withered finger that gave him inspiration.

The area covered by the Ghost Domain is fixed, but this distance can be extended by changing its shape.

If it were to cover all four sides, the Yang Jian would extend to a maximum distance of thirty meters.

However, if it only covers the distance of a narrow path, then Yang Jian's Ghost Domain can extend forward by at least three hundred meters.

I did a quick mental calculation and it's probably pretty accurate.

In other words, a distance of 300 meters can be covered in the blink of an eye.

If this guy hadn't been driving a top-of-the-line sports car, Yang Jian felt he could have easily let him run 299 meters ahead.

He immediately vanished from the spot.

The next moment, they appeared at the end of the red light, three hundred meters away.

Then the Ghost Domain enveloped him again, and Yang Jian disappeared from the spot once more.
