Attitude

Upon seeing this scene, Cao Yanhua keenly sensed that there seemed to be some kind of conflict between Jiang Shangbai and Yang Jian, and it wasn't just a simple case of them disliking each other and deliberately making a few sarcastic remarks.

Jiang Shangbai looked very unwell.

Last night, he drove around the city almost the entire time because of Yang Jian. Not only that, he was also on tenterhooks, fearing that Yang Jian might suddenly appear in front of him and attack him at any moment.

Surprisingly, this guy was quite carefree and went to sleep at the Ping An Hotel.

However, I only learned of this news in the morning.

"Yang Jian, do you know what you were doing last night?" Jiang Shangbai stopped in his tracks and stared at him coldly.

"Of course it's working overtime and sleeping. What? Did you need something from me last night?" Yang Jian replied calmly.

Jiang Shangbai sneered, "What's the point of lying at a time like this? Don't think I don't know what you did last night. While we were busy dealing with the Ghost Painting Incident, you dared to be ruthless towards us. You even killed several Ghost Tamer. If you don't give me an explanation today, I think this meeting is over, and you can forget about going back to your Dachang City."

What?

Cao Yanhua, who was standing to the side, was immediately stunned. He looked at Yang Jian with suspicion and uncertainty.

Did this guy get into a fight with people in his WeChat Moments?

Wang Xiaoming seemed not to hear, still keeping his head slightly lowered and his eyes closed.

Liu Xiaoyu, who was not particularly noticeable, widened her eyes, looking incredulous.

Yang Jian looked at him and said, "Without any evidence, how can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?"

"Without any evidence?"

Jiang Shangbai slammed a document on the conference table with a hint of anger. "I knew you might deny it. This is the evidence."

Cao Yanhua immediately frowned and went over to look through the files. There were indeed several people in his WeChat Moments who had died tragically, a Ghost Tamer named Zhang Jian who had gone missing, and a Ghost Tamer named He Tianxiong who had lost contact. In addition, the surveillance cameras had captured photos of Yang Jian appearing in several key locations.

Although there is no conclusive evidence, these things speak volumes.

Yang Jian didn't even glance at the so-called evidence. He said, "This is just the evidence you have. Do you think I'll believe it? What if you just fabricate a photo and frame me? Look at this evidence, missing? Are you kidding me? You can't pin a missing person claim on me. Maybe you couldn't withstand the resurrection of a vengeful ghost."

"It's normal for Ghost Tamer to suddenly die; there's nothing to be alarmed about."

Jiang Shangbai, his face dark with suppressed anger, said, "Zhang Jian disappeared at a bar. You went to a bar that night too, and the surveillance footage shows your picture. Are you going to deny it?"

"As a single guy who's been single for years, it's perfectly reasonable for me to go to a bar to relax when I'm bored, right? How can you be so sure that the place Zhang Jian disappeared from is the bar I went to?" Yang Jian casually explained.

Bang!

Hearing his sophistry, Jiang Shangbai could no longer contain his anger. He slammed his fist on the table, and the sturdy Wooden Desk immediately cracked.

"Your excuses are useless. You know what you did. Whether you admit it or not is irrelevant. What matters is that since you chose to take action, you must bear the consequences."

Yang Jian narrowed his eyes. "What? You want to take action with just some fabricated evidence? You want to do it here? I don't care, but you'd better be prepared to be killed by me. If you have any help, you can all come at me. Although the meeting is about to start, there should be enough time."

"After all, it only takes me a few tens of seconds."

After he finished speaking, the lights in the entire conference room flickered, as if disturbed by something, and a chilling atmosphere filled the air.

"Yang Jian."

Cao Yanhua was both shocked and furious, and hurriedly scolded, "Calm down, everyone, and tell me what exactly happened."

Jiang Shangbai, however, was not afraid. He said, "Isn't it obvious? Yang Jian is targeting us. First Zhang Jian, then He Tianxiong, and maybe next time it will be my turn. Not to mention that he personally killed Gao Zhiqiang at Headquarters before. In total, three of our friends have lost their Ghost Tamer because of him. Minister Cao, if you don't do something about this, then we'll have to solve it in the simplest way."

At this moment, Cao Yanhua was certain that Yang Jian was indeed targeting people in his circle of friends.

This is indeed his personality and style.

"Yang Jian, you're going too far!" Cao Yanhua shouted sternly.

Jiang Shangbai frowned upon hearing this.

He just cursed once? That's it?

He could vaguely sense that although Cao Yanhua appeared furious, he didn't actually show much remorse for Yang Jian's actions.

"Excessive? Deputy Minister, you should be saying that to Jiang Shangbai, right? Coincidentally, I have a recording here; you might as well listen to it." Yang Jian didn't say much, simply took out his phone, opened the recording, and played it.

"Yang Jian is still here, right? If the Ghost Painting Incident really happens, then we can kill Yang Jian without any hesitation and 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 complete the task before the Captain Plan is implemented."

That's Manager Fei's voice.

The recording continues playing:

"Solved this problem conveniently, not bad," another person seemed to agree with the plan.

"Perhaps we can also take this opportunity to put pressure on Minister Cao and get him to use that coffin nail," Jiang Shangbai's voice rang out.

"."

As the recording ended, the previously arguing meeting room fell silent.

Jiang Shangbai was completely stunned.

This recording is from the last meeting.

How could a recording of that top-secret meeting have been leaked?

Etc.

Jiang Shangbai immediately thought of Li Yao, the only female assistant who had access to the higher-ups.

If Li Yao had already betrayed them, it wouldn't be impossible for her to find an opportunity to install a listening device at some point.

"So, they attacked first, and I was just acting in self-defense. But you people in your circle of friends are really bold, saying you'd kill me. I'm the head of a city, after all. If I were to be killed by you for no reason, that wouldn't be very good," Yang Jian said calmly.

Upon hearing these recordings, Cao Yanhua was completely enraged.

In his view, the deaths of a few people in his circle of friends were nothing, just some potential dangers. It didn't matter if Yang Jian Jianzhen killed a few; at most, he would criticize or scold them for prioritizing the overall situation.

After all, these people are not as valuable as Ghost Eye Yang Jian.

However, if people in your WeChat Moments were to plan to kill Yang Jian, that wouldn't work.

If Yang Jian Jianzhen were to be killed, it would be a major earthquake for Headquarters.

Imagine Ghost Tamer- controlling expert who solved S-class paranormal case was inexplicably killed by certain individuals. What would others think?

If the Headquarters' prestige is damaged, various conspiracy theories will emerge, morale will collapse, and the team will become difficult to lead. The already deteriorating situation may even collapse.

Of course, a dire situation would definitely benefit WeChat Moments. Perhaps at that point, Headquarters might even need to rely on WeChat Moments to stabilize the situation. So, if this continues, who will be in charge here in the future?

Once that step is reached, the plan to eliminate Yang Jian through social media will be completely accomplished.

In an instant, Cao Yanhua thought of many things, and even broke out in a cold sweat. He even wished he could arrest the person who devised the plan for the WeChat Moments immediately, because this person was far too dangerous, with a very far-sighted vision and strategic planning, and was completely different from these Ghost Tamer.

"Jiang Shangbai, you'd better give me an explanation, or I'll blacklist all your businesses and terminate all cooperation with you today."

Jiang Shangbai panicked. He had come to confront Yang Jian and use Headquarters to deal with him, hoping to at least cause him some trouble. He hadn't expected Yang Jian to be so well-prepared, even managing to get his hands on this most crucial audio evidence. Now the situation had completely reversed.

If things go wrong, WeChat Moments might really be doomed this time.

"It's fake, this recording is fake. They just randomly picked a few recordings, pieced them together, and called it evidence. Do you think I'd believe that?" Jiang Shangbai said, forcing a smile.

This recording must not be admitted under any circumstances.

But why does what he said sound so familiar?

Yang Jian nodded. "A recording certainly doesn't count as evidence. If you think it's fake, then it's fake. But what you said earlier was very correct. For people like us, evidence is not important at all, and who is right and who is wrong is not important either. What matters is who survives in the end."

"If you kill me, then I am wrong and you are right; conversely, if I live and I kill you, then you are wrong."

"Jiang Shangbai, what do you think?"

Jiang Shangbai's face was grim, and he remained silent.

Yang Jian chuckled softly, a chill running through his smile, "So, back to the original question, do you want to try and make a move here? Kill me, or be killed by me?"

The lights in the conference room flickered, and everything around seemed to be gradually changing color, as a layer of viscous red light, like blood, was constantly eroding everything around it.

At some point, a strange eye without pupils appeared on Yang Jian's forehead. The eye moved slightly, like a vengeful ghost spying on everyone present. In addition, a hand with blue fingers reached out from an inconspicuous corner of the conference table, and as time went by, there seemed to be more and more of these hands, some of which had already climbed onto the conference table.

The ground was pitch black, as if shrouded in a huge shadow, and a chilling feeling kept seeping into the body.

All signs indicate that a ghost seems to be invading this conference room.

And it's about to officially appear.

Liu Xiaoyu, standing behind him, was breathing rapidly and tense. Although she knew Yang Jian wouldn't hurt her, few normal people could remain calm when facing such a terrifying ghost.

In stark contrast to her is Wang Xiaoming.

Throughout, he kept his head slightly lowered as if he were asleep, showing no interest in what was happening there.

The most emotionally unstable person was Cao Yanhua. He was both shocked and frightened, and didn't know how to deal with the situation.

The conflict between the two was not as simple as they had initially thought.

Judging from what just happened, it seems that Jiang Shangbai in the WeChat Moments had planned to kill Yang Jian all along, but Yang Jian found out and acted in advance.

Theoretically, Yang Jian's actions might seem justified, but in reality, taking action in a meeting room would have had a very negative impact, which is absolutely unacceptable.

Should we stop Yang Jian?

It's easy to stop them, but what will Yang Jian think after we succeed?

The means are not important, but the attitude is.

"Wait a minute, everyone calm down. Let's put this on hold for now and discuss it after today's meeting. Don't cause trouble right now."

Cao Yanhua had no choice but to stabilize the situation first.

Jiang Shangbai ignored his words and instead stared at Yang Jian with extreme vigilance.

If this guy is going to make a move, Cao Yanhua can't stop him with just a few words. He can't risk his life for this, so if Yang Jian makes a move, he will retaliate without hesitation.

They were all people who controlled three ghosts, so there was no reason why they would lose so miserably.

The atmosphere grew increasingly tense, and the surrounding situation became increasingly unsettling.

It seemed like the two of them would start fighting in the meeting room in the blink of an eye.

However, at that moment, the conference room door opened again.

Many people who were attending the meeting walked in.

"Have we come to the wrong place? I feel like something's off."

Among the crowd, Liu San, with a sallow complexion, glanced around briefly with his numb and lifeless eyes, and instinctively stopped at the doorway.

Because taking another step forward would lead into Yang Jian's Ghost Domain.

"Did you two have a fight? Then maybe I should wait a bit longer before going in."

An ordinary-looking man said that he looked like someone I had seen somewhere before, but no one could remember where.

"Brother Leg's here so early? Huh, what's going on, are we going to fight?"

Feng Quan asked in surprise. His skin was slightly dark, and his body was covered with cracks. A damp and rotten smell emanated from him, making him look like a corpse buried in the mud, which made the people nearby feel very uncomfortable.

"Cough cough."

A soft cough sounded, and an elderly man with a face full of wrinkles, dressed in clothes in the style of the 1980s, appeared at the back, leaning on a cane.

Yang Jian only slowly withdrew his gaze from Jiang Shangbai when he saw Old Qin appear.

The surrounding lights flickered, but quickly returned to normal.

"Even if you don't make a move, Yang Jian, this matter won't end so easily," Jiang Shangbai said.

"I know," Yang Jian said, "There will be a result sooner or later."

Jiang Shangbai stopped talking, but casually sat down and picked up the documents he had just left on the table.

He knew he had lost today.

Because the Headquarters' attitude is already very clear.

Most of my WeChat Moments posts are gone.
