Unexpected Guests

Given the failure of the operation, continuing to linger in Dachang City would be an extremely foolish decision.

Yang Jian didn't even dare to go back to get his own car; he used Ghost Domain to take Zhang Han and Wang Xiaoming back to Guangjiang Residential Area.

A beam of red light fell from the gloomy sky, and three people appeared out of nowhere on the asphalt of the residential area.

Compared to other places, the neighborhood has suddenly become more lively. There are sounds of construction workers working overtime overnight nearby, and lights are on in some buildings, as if people have already moved in.

"Get me a computer; I need to print a report." Wang Xiaoming glanced around and determined that the area was safe for the time being.

Located far from the city center and with a small population, it will likely take some time before the Ghost Infant's influence reaches this area.

Yang Jian glanced at him.

His relationship with Wang Xiaoming wasn't good; they were simply fulfilling their duties. Now that the operation had failed, and with the hatred of his brother's murder still lingering, he remained calm.

"Come to my place for a while, rest for a few days, and think about how to save your life," Yang Jian.

"Zhang Han, what about you?"

Zhang Han's eyes flickered slightly. "Is it safe here?"

"Is there any safe place in Dachang City? But it's far from the city center, and the transportation is convenient, so it's quite suitable for escaping and saving your life," Yang Jian. "Although we might not survive, at least we can live a little longer."

"I'll go pick up my family. Do you have anywhere to put them?" Zhang Han asked hesitantly.

He figured that since Yang Jian was staying here, it must be safer than other places.

Yang Jian, "I'll give you a villa; you can choose one yourself. At a time like this, let's not worry about such things."

"Thank you." Zhang Han nodded and immediately turned to leave.

"What are you planning to build?" Wang Xiaoming's eyes flickered as he looked towards the construction site.

Working overtime at this time must mean they are building something very important.

"A safe house, you'll find out soon," Yang Jian.

"You took all of Dachang City's gold reserves just to build a safe house?" Wang Xiaoming said. "So you really did prepare a backup plan long ago, but do you think it will be useful?"

"We have to try it, whether it works or not. As long as the safe house is successfully built, I think it should last for a month or two without any problems. But things can change over time. You should be grateful that the Criminal Investigation Headquarters specifically instructed me to spare your life."

"Although I didn't really want to save you, you were indeed very useful. Consider this my act of mercy. Normally, because of Wang Xiaoqiang's matter, I would have definitely eliminated you completely. That bastard isn't worth saving."

Wang Xiaoming said, "If you want to kill me, now's the best time. There's no one around; it's an opportunity."

"It doesn't matter now. If you survive this, you'll owe me a ghost candle," Yang Jian.

Even if I survive, I still can't control that thing.

Wang Xiaoming said, "If you can solve this paranormal event, you can easily exchange this merit for a ghost candle. If I survive, I can give you another product, which was recently successfully developed."

The two chatted as they quickly entered the villa.

The hall was brightly lit, as if every light that could be turned on was on free.

This might give the people inside a sense of security.

But it didn't help.

Because there was no sun in Dachang City, the temperature dropped quickly. Jiang Yan, wearing a loose sweater, sat on the sofa, eating and watching TV. However, besides Wang Yan, there were a few other unexpected guests.

It turned out to be Wang Bin, Wang Haiyan, and Wang Shanshan, a family of three.

"Your classmate and his parents arrived at noon and are staying here, saying they're waiting for you to come back. They called you before, but found you didn't bring your phone," Jiang Yan said, pursing her lips.

"Boss Yang, Professor Wang, hello." Wang Bin hurriedly stood up, his smiling face showing a hint of respect.

When Wang Haiyan saw Yang Jian again, she felt a little awkward, standing there with an embarrassed smile, somewhat at a loss.

After all, she had previously looked down on her daughter's classmate.

Yang Jian glanced at her and his gaze fell on Wang Shanshan.

At this moment, Wang Shanshan sat there motionless, her back straight, her face pale and bloodless. If it weren't for her eyes still moving slightly, one could easily mistake her for a corpse.

However, when Yang Jian looked at her, she also looked at Yang Jian.

There was an eerie indifference in her eyes, as if human emotions were gradually disappearing from her.

"Uncle Wang, what brings you here?" Yang Jian asked, turning his gaze away.

"Boss Yang, is Dachang City haunted?"

Wang Bin's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he said in a lowered voice, "Yesterday I saw with my own eyes a person being eaten alive by something on the street. This is not some kind of ghost story, right? It's a supernatural event?"

"Wait a minute."

Yang Jian, "Sister Jiang, go and prepare a computer for Professor Wang; he needs it for some work."

"Alright. Professor Wang, right? Come with me." Jiang Yan stood up and led Wang Xiaoming upstairs.

After the two left, he sat down, opened a bottle of water, and gulped down a few mouthfuls, saying, "Dachang City is indeed very dangerous, and there's no need to hide that. However, it's extremely dangerous for Uncle Wang and his family of three to go out so casually. You're really lucky to have survived to get here. But speaking of which, how did you know I lived here?"

"How would I know you lived here, Boss Yang? It was Shanshan who told me," Wang Bin said.

Yang Jian looked at Wang Shanshan while eating and said, "You probably don't know I live here, since I haven't been here long."

"I saw it."

Wang Shanshan raised her pale arm, on which the mark of a scarlet eye became increasingly clear, seemingly taking shape and about to evolve into an eye.

"Sometimes I see some strange images."

"Is that so?" Yang Jian didn't ask any further questions, assuming that Wang Shanshan had also been affected after his Ghost Eye was about to be revived.

"I wonder why Uncle Wang risked his life to find me?"

Then, he looked at Wang Bin.

Wang Bin was a little embarrassed, but he still brazenly said, "Isn't Dachang City dangerous? I just wanted to ask Boss Yang your place is safer, and if you could give me some guidance."

Wang Haiyan, standing nearby, was even more embarrassed to see her husband begging for help.

Who would have thought that this poor classmate of my daughter would suddenly become a big boss with a net worth of billions in just over a month, and even become a criminal police officer in Dachang City, while my family is now asking others for favors.

"Nowhere is truly safe, and to be honest, this place isn't very safe either. It's just a little better than other places for now. Since Uncle Wang has brought it up, and Wang Shanshan and I were classmates, I should at least offer some assistance." Yang Jian, "How about this, I'll have Jiang Yan prepare a house for you to stay in for now, and we can talk about the future later."
