A Visit
"Although Zhang Jian only controls one ghost, he still poses a threat to me. Indeed, it's always good to be cautious."
Yang Jian took Zhang Jian's car keys and phone from the remaining parts of his body and then left.
Before taking action, he had already used the Ghost Domain to take Zhang Jian deep underground, in order to prevent Zhang Jian from escaping, and also to prevent the ghost in his body from going out of control and causing some impact on the bar.
Once Zhang Jian's vengeful spirit is resurrected, at least several hundred people in this area will die.
When he walked out of the bar and reached the back door, Li Yao was already waiting by a car.
Wearing sunglasses, having changed her clothes and hairstyle, and made some simple disguises, Li Yao smiled and said when she saw Yang Jian come out, "Much faster than I expected. It seems you haven't encountered any trouble. Although I don't know some key information about Zhang Jian, I believe he poses no threat to you."
Even at Headquarters, it's rare to see someone who can control three ghosts, let alone Yang Jian, who Ghost Tamer.
"He won't be appearing in this world anymore. Next up is that Manager Fei. When does he usually get off work?" Yang Jian asked directly.
"That depends on where you plan to deal with him."
Li Yao said, "Without Zhang Jian's protection, you can make him disappear at any time as soon as he leaves the Ping An Building. However, I suggest you wait until he's far away before making your move. After all, there are other Ghost Tamer in the Ping An Building. Although you can't hide the news of your action, they don't know you're currently on the move."
"Keeping it a little longer is always beneficial."
"That makes sense. Here are Zhang Jian's car keys and phone. You know what to do later." Yang Jian tossed the things to her.
Li Yao nodded. "I'll pretend to be Zhang Jian and follow Manager Fei in my car. You find an opportunity. But we only have one day. If Zhang Jian and Manager Fei disappear together on the second day, people on WeChat Moments will definitely notice."
"A day is enough for me to kill three or five key figures," Yang Jian said calmly.
"See you later," Li Yao said with a smile, shaking her car keys.
Yang Jian didn't say anything; he simply turned and left.
In reality, dealing with an ordinary person without protection wouldn't require so much effort. However, he felt it necessary to meet with this CEO Fei, hoping to find out something. Manager Fei, he was one of the decision-makers in their circle of friends and certainly knew more than Li Yao, his assistant.
The top floor of Ping An Building.
A middle-aged man in his thirties, dressed in a suit and tie, spoke emphatically at the conference table, "The unresolved Ghost Painting Incident at Headquarters is a huge hidden danger. I believe the Ghost Painting Incident is very likely to re-emerge. In addition, after some investigation, it was found that there are other forces behind the two ghosts that disappeared in the Ghost Painting Incident."
"It seems someone didn't want the Ghost Painting Incident and the Ghost Messenger incident to be resolved together, so they used some unknown means to make the two ghosts leave. Otherwise, given the way ghosts move, it's impossible for them to disappear without a trace."
"Manager Fei, are you saying that someone is sabotaging this operation?" Jiang Shangbai rubbed his head on the conference table. He looked tired, clearly having been busy for the past two days.
"I'm just speculating like this. Since I can't doubt the uncertainty surrounding ghosts, I'll just attribute it to humans," Manager Fei said.
"The Ghost Painting Incident initially broke out overseas, resulting in numerous deaths and the annihilation of a top-tier Ghost Tamer team. This was a significant loss for the foreign countries. If someone wanted to balance the power between nations, they might have had the motive to cause trouble at a crucial moment. Moreover, the files on the Ghost Painting Incident concealed a lot of information."
"That's what a young analyst said."
"So it's unlikely that we'll ever find that thing?" said a man named He Tianxiong.
Manager Fei said, "That depends on whether the Ghost Painting Incident will break out in the short term. If it happens to occur in this city, then the possibility of human intervention is very high. Of course, this is also an opportunity for us."
"A supernatural event has occurred on our territory. This is not a good thing," Jiang Shangbai said, frowning.
Within the Ghost Tamer community, there are territories divided, such as Yang Jian's Dachang City and Ye Zhen's Dahai City, where the Supernatural Forum is located.
The purpose of this is to prevent conflict between the two sides, and there are also some strategic considerations involved. However, the best location is undoubtedly the city where the circle of friends is located.
Manager Fei said, "Yang Jian is still here, right? Once the Ghost Painting Incident really happens, we can kill Yang Jian without any hesitation and then shift the blame to the Ghost Painting Incident. This way, we won't need to waste our energy keeping an eye on him, and we can finish the job before the Captain Plan is implemented."
"Solved this problem easily, not bad," Fang Shiming, replied casually while trimming his nails.
"Furthermore, if the Ghost Painting Incident really happens, it will consume a lot of the Headquarters' manpower and resources, which will significantly enhance our future standing in the network," said Manager Fei. "If everything goes smoothly, we will become one of the top Ghost Tamer forces in the country, with unimaginable influence."
"Perhaps we can also take this opportunity to put pressure on Minister Cao and get him to use that coffin nail," Jiang Shangbai added.
That thing that can pin down starving ghosts is extremely important. Any Ghost Tamer obtains it can confront ghosts head-on in the face of paranormal events. If used properly, it can even resolve a large number of paranormal events without taking any damage.
However, Cao Yanhua was too conservative, or perhaps the consequences of the starving ghost were too great. Even with the Ghost Messenger incident, he had no intention of using the coffin nails.
The meeting continued with other discussions and arrangements.
Only after the meeting ended did Manager Fei return to his office to attend to other matters.
Some people may have titles like manager or president, but in reality, they just collect their salaries and don't do any work; they handle most of the tasks.
From recent intelligence reports, he gradually sensed that the future was becoming increasingly dangerous, and only by boarding the "big ship" of his social circle as soon as possible could he ensure the safety of himself and his family.
Manager Fei needs to do now is try his best not to be thrown off course by this big ship.
After a busy day until 4 p. m., it was time for Manager Fei leave work.
He finished his last cup of coffee, tidied up the documents in his hand, handed over the remaining tasks to his assistant and secretary, and then prepared to go home.
Upon arriving at the underground parking lot, I found that a driver was already waiting for me.
"Let's go back along this route today," Manager Fei, sitting in the car and planning a route on the tablet in front of him.
"Yes, Manager Fei." The driver immediately started the car.
For safety reasons, Manager Fei he went home, and his private car would also be randomly selected, all to ensure that his whereabouts were not leaked. In addition, he would also change his home several times from time to time.
No way.
Although joining the circle of friends brought him a lot of powerful backers, it also offended quite a few people. In short, it's better to be careful than to make a big mistake. He's just an ordinary person, and he can't Ghost Tamer.
Manager Fei then sent the route to Zhang Jian via text message, instructing Zhang Jian to prepare to accompany and protect him.
After Manager Fei's car drove out of Ping An Building.
Li Yao, who was sitting in Zhang Jian's car across the street, received a text message.
"Is this Manager Fei in circles around here?" Li Yao glanced at the route, somewhat speechless, but still followed him in her car.
Manager Fei slightly opened the curtains, and only when he saw Zhang Jian's car following behind him did he feel relieved.
Nothing happened today.
"However, Zhang Jian's mental state has been deteriorating lately. We need to find a way to change bodyguards; relying on the same person for an extended period is also dangerous." Manager Fei pondered, "Next month then, we'll discuss it after this period."
The vehicles moved slowly through the city, often following the same routes repeatedly.
After driving around in circles for more than half an hour, Manager Fei's car finally drove to a slightly old residential area in the city.
It's hard to imagine that Mr. Manager Fei lives in a place like this.
"Flash your headlights three times, then you can go back," Manager Fei getting out of the car.
"Okay, Manager Fei." The driver was puzzled, but he was used to it. He flashed the headlights three times and drove off.
Manager Fei hadn't gone far when he saw Zhang Jian's car parked there motionless, and he immediately frowned.
The flashing headlights meant for Zhang Jian to drive back. Normally, Zhang Jian would have eagerly stepped on the gas and sped off, but today there was no movement.
Was that a code?
When Li Yao saw Manager Fei stop and look in their direction, she immediately sensed something was wrong. Her expression changed slightly, she thought for a moment, and then stepped on the gas and slowly started driving the car.
Manager Fei saw the car move, he looked away, stopped thinking about anything else, and walked straight into a nearby residential building.
"Is there a need to be so vigilant?" Li Yao breathed a sigh of relief. "But why hasn't Yang Jian shown up yet? Is he not planning to make a move? We've been following him for so long."
"Forget it, never mind. I'd better leave here for now, lest Manager Fei see me."
She drove off, intending to find a place to kill some time. She was certain that Yang Jian, who had followed her in his car, had also come along, but she didn't know when he would show up.
Manager Fei went to the second-floor stairwell window and saw that Zhang Jian's car had indeed left. He then went down the stairs, came out of the stairwell, and walked towards the residential building across the street.
He couldn't possibly let Zhang Jian, a mentally unstable person, know his exact location.
Maybe this guy is protecting himself now, but he might be thinking about killing him at some point.
"You have to be careful when dealing with these dangerous people," Manager Fei thought to himself.
He arrived at the door of a house on the third floor, took out his key, and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, Manager Fei's expression turned somewhat strange.
There was a new pair of shoes by the door. They weren't his; they were men's sneakers, the kind young people wear.
"Could it be..." A bad feeling crept into Manager Fei's heart.
"Hurry up and wash your hands, it's time to eat. I made your favorite mandarin fish today, Xiao Bao. Go and serve your uncle some rice." A woman's voice came from inside the house, seemingly speaking to someone.
"No need to be so polite, I can do it myself," a man's voice rang out.
Manager Fei furious. His wife knew a lot about his job, and she would always notify him in advance if guests were coming. There was absolutely no way that someone would come to his house for dinner without a reason.
He rushed into the house without even taking off his shoes.
He hadn't walked more than a few steps when he saw a young man wiping his hands and smiling as he walked out of the restroom.
"You are Yang Jian?"
However, when he recognized the person's identity, Manager Fei's eyes narrowed sharply, and his blood instantly turned cold. A chilling coldness surged from the soles of his feet throughout his body, making him feel completely exhausted. Before he even realized it, he collapsed to the ground.
