Large-Scale Incident

"Breaking news: Professor Wang's younger brother, Wang Xiaoqiang, is dead. He was shot dead by the new head Yang Jian."

Asian Ghost Tamer Branch

Because it concerned Professor Wang, a small meeting was specially convened.

Not only was Yang Jian's operator Liu Xiaoyu present at the meeting, but also team leader Zhao Jianguo and other key members of the department.

"I told you long ago, Yang Jian is an uncontrollable factor. Once he becomes Ghost Tamer, he will only become more lawless. He even killed Professor Wang's only direct relative. If Professor Wang insists on pursuing this matter, it will provoke another internal conflict."

The person in charge of this meeting was a middle-aged man in a suit and tie named Cao Yanhua, who was the Deputy Minister here.

"Take a look at Yang Jian's answer sheet from when he took the Ghost Tamer assessment."

Cao Yanhua opened a document in his hand. "He's completely cold-blooded and ruthless, showing no regard for the safety of the people. He killed Wang Xiaoqiang right after taking office; who knows what trouble he'll cause in the future? I think we should find an opportunity to remove Yang Jian and give Professor Wang a reasonable explanation."

"This is my opinion, what do you think?"

Another uniformed man, exuding authority without anger, calmly stated, "Regardless of whose relative Wang Xiaoqiang is, the fact that he organized an assassination attempt against Ghost Tamer and used a large number of weapons is tantamount to a terrorist attack. In any era, such a person must be dealt with seriously."

"Yang Jian killed Wang Xiaoqiang as soon as he took office. This is a merit, not a fault. Deputy Minister Cao, if we condone him simply because Wang Xiaoqiang is Professor Wang's brother, then where is the law?"

"I do not agree with removing Yang Jian."

"Professor Wang's presence is extremely important to the situation. His every move could affect the future of the country. We cannot joke about the future. If Professor Wang becomes emotional because of this and brings that emotion into his work, who will be responsible for the consequences?"

Cao Yanhua said, "I think it's very necessary to give Professor Wang an explanation."

"Deputy Minister, let me offer my opinion. I think we should hear Zhao Jianguo's opinion on whether or not to remove Yang Jian. He has known Yang Jian for a long time and has even met him. He should know Yang Jian in great detail. If he believes Yang Jian is an uncontrollable and huge threat, then I agree to remove him. If not, I think he should be given an important position. After all, judging from his records, he has solved several incidents, rescued three Ghost Tamer, and dismantled an uncontrolled Ghost Tamer Club. There aren't many files in the archives that can match such impressive achievements. Zhao Jianguo, could you share your opinion?"

Another person at the conference table spoke up.

The blame was directed at Zhao Jianguo.

Zhao Jianguo's expression hardened, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "I agree with Deputy Minister Cao. Yang Jian is indeed an uncontrollable person. He is young and impetuous, immature, and when he is in dire straits, he has a strong desire for revenge. He even threatened to destroy the entire department."

"So you think it's better to get rid of Yang Jian?" Cao Yanhua asked.

Zhao Jianguo then added, "But from my observation of him, although he has these shortcomings, he possesses terrifying potential. This potential lies not in his studies but in handling events. Starting with the very first knocking incident, Yang Jian not only survived but also became Ghost Tamer and successfully rescued his six companions."

"It's terrifying that a student could do something like that, especially considering that Zhou Zheng, the person in charge at the time, sacrificed his life in that incident."

"In Huanggang Village, he not only retrieved the ghost coffin but also rescued Feng Quan. His achievements can be described as perfect. Everyone should understand that Yang Jian accomplished this under the circumstances that the incident files had been tampered with."

"Later, another incident broke out, and the third Ghost Tamer, Zhao Kaiming, was caught up in it. I miscalculated and dispatched Tong Qian, the Ghost Tamer from the nearest city, to provide support. As a result, both of them were caught up in the Ghost Knocking incident and were in imminent danger."

"Yang Jian took action again. He not only rescued Tong Qian, but Zhao Kaiming also survived, and he even brought out a group of survivors."

At this point, Zhao Jianguo said, "The Ghost Knocking' incident is classified as an A-level disaster. The fact that Yang Jian survived it twice and was able to rescue people shows just how outstanding his abilities are."

"It's already quite difficult for domestic Ghost Tamer to handle C-class and B-class incidents; those capable of handling A-class incidents are extremely rare."

"Therefore, I believe that Yang Jian's abilities outweigh his weaknesses, and he is worth nurturing."

After finishing his sentence, Zhao Jianguo added, "This can be seen from the answers to the test, especially the last question. When answering the question, he unhesitatingly chose to kill the child with the schoolbag. Moreover, he didn't guess it by luck, but rather through very rational analysis. And the real answer was the same: the child with the schoolbag was the ghost."

"From the moment Sun Yi asked the question to the moment he gave the answer, he spent almost no time thinking; it was an almost instinctive reaction."

"Unlike others, Yang Jian possesses the talent to handle incidents. I believe that if he hasn't sacrificed himself in the future, he might even be qualified to participate in that plan."

"That's enough, your report is detailed enough."

Cao Yanhua interrupted him, somewhat displeased.

"From Zhao Jianguo's analysis, it can be seen that Yang Jian's abilities outweigh his shortcomings. At least he is much more useful than that incompetent Zhao Kaiming. I think he should be cultivated. As for Zhao Kaiming, we should find an opportunity to transfer him away from Dachang City to avoid conflicts between the two in decision-making and avoid unnecessary losses." The person who spoke earlier expressed his opinion.

The middle-aged man in the Ghost Tamer uniform also said in a deep voice, "In special times, special talents should be given important positions. I also believe that we should not easily remove a Ghost Tamer has made meritorious contributions just because of a criminal, not even if he is Professor Wang's relative."

"Since everyone agrees, let's settle on the matter of Ghost Eye Yang Jian. We still need to keep an eye on Professor Wang's side," Cao Yanhua said.

"The meeting is adjourned."

Once the matter was settled, the meeting adjourned immediately, and everyone left.

On the way back, Liu Xiaoyu, who had remained silent throughout the meeting, asked in a low voice, "Captain, why is Deputy Minister Cao so insistent on removing Yang Jian? He just took office, and didn't he tacitly approve of Yang Jian's actions before? He even sent Sun Yi and Zhao Kaiming to support him. Now that Yang Jian has successfully killed Wang Xiaoqiang, why does he want to remove him?"

Zhao Jianguo gave a wry smile; "Isn't this contradictory?"

Liu Xiaoyu nodded.

"It's not hard to understand, because most people both want Yang Jian to take action and don't want him to succeed."

"I don't quite understand, could the captain explain it to me?"

"You'll understand when you do," Zhao Jianguo said without adding anything further.

But just then, a staff member rushed over, looking anxious, and said, "Captain Zhao, the situation is bad."

"What's wrong?" Zhao Jianguo asked, turning around.

"Something's wrong in Dachang City. These are the latest satellite images."

The staff member opened the folder, which contained a satellite map.

Zhao Jianguo glanced at it, and his eyes widened in shock. "Damn it, how could this happen? We need to notify them immediately!"

"We've already sent someone to inform them; the minister is on his way and we need to assemble in the main conference room."

"Okay, I'll be right there." Zhao Jianguo handed back the folder with a very serious expression. "Go and notify the others."

Liu Xiaoyu said, "Didn't we just finish a meeting? Why are we having another one?"

Zhao Jianguo said, "Go back to the communications room immediately and contact Yang Jian. Once communication is established, it must not be disconnected without my order. Also, have Zhao Kaiming's communications officer maintain communication, in the same situation as you."

"Captain, has something serious happened?"

Liu Xiaoyu sensed that something was off.

"This is likely a major event. If confirmed, it might be classified as an S-class. What are we waiting for? Let's take action now."

Zhao Jianguo said in a low voice, and then rushed to the main conference room without stopping.

S-class incident?

You must be kidding.

Liu Xiaoyu ran towards the communications room, her mind still a little fuzzy.

It's important to know that S-class event has the power to destroy the population of several cities.

There have only been two or three such incidents worldwide. Last time, it was only thanks to Professor Wang's research that the continued damage caused by that incident was barely contained, even after the sacrifice of many Ghost Tamer.

But the incident did not end there.
