Chapter 68

Yang Jian looked at Zhang Wei with a face that seemed to be looking at a brain-dead person.

Playing a game and getting killed by technology, suspecting it was a ghost, and scared to the point of not sleeping all night.

You are truly outstanding.

"Did you call me here mainly for this matter?" Yang Jian asked.

Zhang Wei scratched his head and said, "There are other things too. After the school incident was over, wasn't it just a few of us who were lucky enough to survive?"

"That's true, what's the matter? Did something happen to the others?" Yang Jian asked.

It had only been a short while since the Wang Shanshan incident ended. If something else happened to the others, it would be truly unfortunate.

"It's not really an accident. Zhao Lei suggested we find a chance to gather. A few classmates were greatly affected by this incident and are planning to transfer to other schools, probably not in this city anymore," Zhang Wei said.

"Transfer out of Dachang City?" Yang Jian pondered for a moment.

He thought this was a reasonable reaction.

The ghost incident at the high school was so severe that the survivors probably didn't have the courage to stay in this city.

But... would things be better if they left Dachang City and went elsewhere?

Not necessarily.

Supernatural events were not limited to specific regions but were global phenomena.

"Going elsewhere might be better. Maybe things won't be so unlucky there," Yang Jian said.

He didn't explain the reasons because he couldn't be sure whether leaving Dachang City was better or staying was better.

"But I don't plan to continue my studies. My grades are average, and even if I continue, it's uncertain whether I can get into college," Zhang Wei said.

Yang Jian asked, "What do you plan to do then?"

"Of course, I'll work at my father's construction company. The housing projects in the suburbs of Dachang City are still under construction. I plan to work on the construction site... By the way, do you want to move there? It's a bit remote, but the transportation is convenient. It's only about a fifteen-minute drive to the city center. I can have my father give you a house," Zhang Wei said seriously.

Yang Jian thought for a moment and said, "I'll go check out your construction site when I have time. If I need to, I'll consider buying a house and settling down there."

My mother is coming back from a business trip soon, and I can't go back to the rental house.

Now that I have some money, I can consider finding a place to settle down.

Even with frequent supernatural events, life must go on; I can't just sit and wait to die.

"Alright, I'll reserve a few premium units for you," Zhang Wei said excitedly.

If Yang Jian could move there, he would also move there immediately.

"Thanks," Yang Jian said.

Zhang Wei said, "No need to thank me, it's just a small matter. By the way, have you eaten before coming here? Want to have lunch together?"

Just as Yang Jian was about to agree, one of his phones rang.

A message popped up on his phone: We are being watched. Protect the box.

"It's Yan Li."

Yang Jian's expression immediately became serious, and he replied with a message: "What's going on?"

"I'm not sure. I only know that someone hired some people to try to take the box. The news that we caught a ghost was leaked, possibly by the club members... or some civilian organizations. This circle is quite complex and deep. I don't have much experience with these things, so I can't tell," Yan Li replied.

"Are they crazy enough to try to take something from a ghost tamer? Don't they want to live?" Yang Jian replied.

Yan Li replied, "They know my abilities and probably guessed that I'm reaching my limits. My ghost abilities don't have much effect on humans, so they aren't too concerned. However, they probably don't know about you because you joined the International Police, and no one can access your records."

Yang Jian thought for a moment and said, "Do you... need help?"

"I don't need help for now, but I'm worried that someone might be heading your way. If you can handle it, please come and help me. If I die, this deal won't be completed, and the buyer is already in contact," Yan Li replied.

He also sent a coordinate location.

"The situation is more complicated than I thought," Yang Jian said, frowning as he read the message on his phone.

A seemingly normal transaction has attracted the attention of some people and forces.

To the point where they are taking direct action.

"These people are insane, not even afraid of ghost tamers. They are quite bold," Yang Jian felt uncomfortable.

But he quickly understood.

The things that drive most people crazy are power and money.

They are after the ghost in the box.

Undoubtedly, it's for profit.

"The price of a ghost is far more than 100 million. Otherwise, it wouldn't be worth the risk of opposing a ghost tamer."

"Ghost tamers, to put it nicely, are people who control evil spirits. To put it bluntly... they are ghosts."

"Yang Jian, what's wrong? You don't look well. Is there something you need to talk about? Maybe I can help," Zhang Wei asked.

Yang Jian shook his head and said, "I have some trouble coming my way. I don't need to eat. I'll leave first. Let me know when we gather. If I have nothing to do, I'll definitely come."

With that, he got up to leave.

But just as he stood up, he saw six or seven men in suits, looking menacing, rush into the café and immediately start clearing people out and closing the doors.

Their actions were smooth and well-coordinated.

Finally, they hung a "Temporarily Closed" sign outside the door.

"Yang Jian, quickly leave. These people are here to cause trouble, like kidnapping or extortion. Your rich second-generation identity has been exposed, and now you're in danger," Yang Jian suddenly said, his voice loud.

"Huh?"

Zhang Wei was taken aback and didn't react. Yang Jian's words sounded strange.

The next moment, several people immediately rushed over.

"Damn, call the police and save me. I'm out of here," Zhang Wei, scared, ran away.

"Stop, don't run," one of them pointed at Zhang Wei.

But the middle-aged man leading them glanced and said, "Ignore him. He's not Yang Jian. You are... don't play these small tricks. I have your information."

He then threw a few photos on the table.

They were taken at the mall entrance, showing him, Yan Li, Jiang Yan, and Captain Liu.

"Who are you?" Yang Jian put down his phone and looked.

The middle-aged man sat down and said, "My name is Wu Feng. I am a business manager of a certain company. Here is my business card. Nice to meet you... Yang Jian."

Yang Jian took the business card and looked at it.

It only had a name and a phone number, nothing else.

It seemed to be deliberately hiding his information.

"What do you want from me?"

Although Yang Jian knew their intentions, he pretended to be unaware.

Wu Feng looked around the café.

His subordinates had already cleared the place, and all irrelevant people, such as waiters, were gone.

Seeing this, he said, "First, congratulations on becoming a new ghost tamer in Dachang City. It's hard to imagine that you were just a high school student. You are very special and a valuable talent. Would you like to join my company? I can give you a monthly salary of 100,000."

"Sure, but I need to be paid three months' salary in advance," Yang Jian nodded.

Huh?

This time, it was Wu Feng who was taken aback.

He was just testing Yang Jian, seeing how much he knew about ghost tamers and whether he was smart and mature enough. He wasn't really hiring him.

"What? You want me to work for your company with such a high salary and can't even pay in advance? You must be a fraud," Yang Jian said disdainfully.

Wu Feng smiled and said, "If you really come to work for my company, I'll pay you a year's salary in advance."

If he could recruit a ghost tamer with just this much money, it would be a very good deal.

Does this Yang Jian not know the value of money? Is he so easily swayed by a few hundred thousand?

It seems he is a student with no social experience.
