Yang Jian Makes His Move

In front of Ping An Hotel.

A bright red sports car was parked conspicuously and ostentatiously on the side of the road. A tall, beautiful woman wearing sunglasses leaned against the hood of the car, her gaze fixed on the direction of the hotel, seemingly waiting for someone.

"You didn't keep me waiting too long; you were more punctual than I expected."

A moment later, Li Yao suddenly smiled, took off her sunglasses, and revealed a beautifully made-up face. Her dark eyes looked at Yang Jian, who had just walked out of the hotel.

Yang Jian glanced to the side; "I thought you would have someone else deliver the things for you, but I didn't expect you to come in person. So high-profile, do you want your identity to be exposed even faster?"

If Li Yao, as a pawn he planted in his circle of friends, is discovered, she will lose her value.

Li Yao, however, strode over with her long, beautiful legs and a cheerful smile, directly linking her arm with Yang Jian's and saying, "So what if we've been discovered? At worst, I'll go back to Dachang City with you. Didn't you start a company? Do you need a beautiful secretary? She'll be free, just include room and board."

"I already have a free secretary, and I'm quite comfortable with it, so I don't plan to switch."

Yang Jian remained calm, unmoved by Li Yao's provocations.

"I didn't realize you were such a womanizer."

Li Yao smiled and said, "It's okay, let's add another one. I don't mind at all. After all, I'm confident in myself, and you'll definitely choose me in the end."

Yang Jian stopped in his tracks, looking at her with a serious expression. "Do you think you can still come to Dachang City alive if your identity is really discovered? For people like us, making someone disappear from this world is easier than stepping on an ant."

"I was just joking."

Li Yao's smile faded slightly. "I'm not that stupid. It's just that the department heads in my WeChat Moments have more important things to do right now, and they won't care about the actions of an insignificant assistant like me. After all, even an ant, though small, can survive to the end if it hides well, right?"

"Let's get in the car first, it's a bit cold outside."

It's already winter, and the temperature outside isn't high. It'll snow soon.

Just got on the bus.

The car's heater immediately dispelled the chill outside. Li Yao voluntarily gave up the driver's seat to Yang Jian and sat in the passenger seat. She then took off her thick down jacket, revealing that she was only wearing a thin nightgown underneath.

"I worked all night last night to finish the task you asked me to do, so you'll have to make it up to me afterwards."

She yawned lazily, then winked at Yang Jian and said in a coquettish tone.

Yang Jian ignored the woman.

He knew that everything Li Yao had done was not of her own free will, but rather the result of her memories being altered.

"You just said that all the department heads in your WeChat Moments are very busy? What happened?"

Yang Jian stared at her, his keen eyes noticing the information revealed in the previous conversation, and he wasn't swayed by Li Yao's sexy figure.

"Didn't you receive a notification from Headquarters? Given your current rank, your Liu Xiaoyu should have told you about what happened last night, right? After all, it's a rather important matter."

After Li Yao finished speaking, she checked the time again. "Maybe it's not that early yet, after all, news spreads faster on WeChat Moments than at Headquarters."

"Last night?"

Yang Jian's expression shifted slightly. "About the ghost painting?"

Li Yao turned around and went to the back row to take out a file bag. "Yes, five ghosts came out of the Ghost Painting last night. Three ghosts were lured away by the Ghost Candle as planned, but there was an accident along the way. Two ghosts went missing and have not been found yet. Headquarters has sent people to search, but there are no results yet."

"Because Jiang Shangbai was the last person to take over the case, the WeChat Moments team has to step in now. Otherwise, if the Ghost Painting Incident breaks out, the WeChat Moments team will have to bear at least half of the responsibility, since the ghost escaped from their hands. This is all the information I can collect about the members so far, take a look."

After she finished speaking, she handed the file folder to Yang Jian.

Yang Jian the passageway; "The potential danger of an S-class paranormal event is certainly keeping everyone on social media busy, especially now, at this crucial time of determining the team leader."

As he spoke, he opened the file folder.

It's full of personal files.

"So much?"

A quick flip revealed dozens of copies, which immediately made Yang Jian frown.

There are more Ghost Tamer joining the circle of friends than I imagined.

Li Yao said with some helplessness, "This is only a part of it, which is why I advised you not to rush into action. Once you start targeting the members on these lists, you may face a frenzied retaliation from others, which you won't be able to withstand. At that point, even Headquarters won't be able to protect you."

Yang Jian stared at the list, lost in thought.

Indeed, Li Yao was right. There were more people in the WeChat Moments than imagined. It was simply unrealistic for one person to handle it all, not to mention that there was likely something else hidden behind each Ghost Tamer.

"Let's give up and think of another way. We can't rush this; we have to take it slowly. It's best to get the captain's position first."

"If I don't take action, my friends on social media will. They've already made a plan. Am I just going to wait for them to carry it out?"

Yang Jian put down the documents in his hand, his expression cold and stern, and said, "So I still have to take action ahead of schedule."

That would be quite dangerous.

Li Yao was filled with worry and lacked confidence.

Yang Jian pointed to the information on the list and said, "How many people on this list do you think are willing to work for the people in your social circle? Most of them are just there for show. I know the Ghost Tamer's personalities better than you do."

"What do you want to do?" Li Yao asked, looking at him.

"Every faction has a few core members, right? There aren't many of them. If we eliminate them, our entire network will be finished."

Yang Jian handed the list to Li Yao, saying, "You know best, help me filter them out."

"Dismantle the core members? That's certainly one way, but will it really work? Won't others step forward?" Li Yao asked, taking the documents.

"If you don't step forward, I'll quickly spread the word to everyone in the Ghost Tamer circle that I, Ghost Eye Yang Jian, am going to fight everyone in my circle of friends. Those who don't want to die should stay far away," Yang Jian.

Li Yao immediately understood Yang Jian's actions.

He wanted to use his reputation to intimidate others and prevent them from making any rash moves.

But has it been enough to intimidate them?

Those Ghost Tamer are a bunch of lunatics; many of their behaviors cannot be understood using normal human thinking.

"This is the only way we can try."

Li Yao thought to herself that she couldn't predict the outcome, and she couldn't persuade Yang Jian to abandon the operation, so she could only support Yang Jian's plan.

She quickly pulled out a list from the documents in her hand. "There aren't many core members in this circle of friends. If we're going to take action, I suggest we deal with this person first. He's the president of Ping An Building. If the people in this circle of friends want to target you, it must be him who devised the plan."

Yang Jian the document and immediately frowned. "An ordinary person?"

"Yes, although Manager Fei is an ordinary person, he does a lot of the work. After all, most of the Ghost Tamer are not mentally sound, and it's impossible to entrust a large company to such a group of people. Of course, Manager Fei is not difficult to deal with, but he does have bodyguards around him."

After Li Yao finished speaking, she handed over another document. "It's him, Zhang Jian."

"Where are they now?" Yang Jian asked.

"Manager Fei definitely at the company right now. You can't make a move at Ping An Building, so you have to find Zhang Jian first. He should be at a bar right now, on the street opposite Ping An Building."

"Give me navigation."

Yang Jian carefully looked at Zhang Jian's information, then started the car.

"Zhang Jian doesn't usually appear at the company. Zhang Jian only follows Manager Fei home in his car, providing covert protection. If we take care of Zhang Jian first, we can drive Zhang Jian car, pretend he's still alive, and follow Manager Fei home."

On the way, Li Yao had already planned out a series of actions.

"Given our efficiency, as long as the operation goes smoothly, people in our social circle won't be able to react in time. By the time they realize something's wrong, things should be almost done."

"Arrive."

A short while later, Yang Jian parked his car in front of a bar.

The bar's doors were tightly shut, with a sign hanging above them indicating that it was temporarily closed.

"Not here?" Yang Jian asked.

Li Yao said, "This bar belongs to Zhang Jian and he doesn't open it to the public. You'll have to go in through the back door. I can't show myself right now, so I can only wait for you outside."

"Good."

Yang Jian got out of the car and walked straight towards the closed gate.
