"According to our previous acquisition plan, we will purchase the... box in Mr. Yang's possession with a cash payment of 100 million, to be made immediately, of course, we also need to confirm that it contains what we need."
"This is the contract. If there are no issues, we can proceed with the transaction immediately. This is our company's accountant, who will transfer the money to your account within ten minutes."
As soon as Sun Lihong sat down, she immediately began discussing the acquisition with Yang Jian.
She was straightforward and decisive, clearly indicating a willingness to conduct a cash-for-goods transaction.
Yang Jian glanced at the contract on the table and pushed it aside: "I don't understand contracts, and I have no objections to the price. I can sell you the item, but I have an additional condition."
"May I ask what Mr. Yang's additional condition is?" Sun Lihong asked.
"I want to know the method to control a second ghost and extend the revival of a ghost."
Yang Jian's eyes narrowed slightly: "Since you are willing to pay a large sum for this, you must have conducted extensive research on this matter. I believe you have a way to alleviate our situation."
When he said this, the others in the club were taken aback.
They all looked at Yang Jian and Sun Lihong.
The method to control a second ghost and extend the revival of a ghost?
"Is this even possible?" Although they were skeptical, everyone's eyes became intense.
If there really was such a method, they would have a chance to extend their lives and continue living.
Sun Lihong's brows furrowed slightly: "Where did you get this information? This is not something that just anyone can know."
"I have my sources, you don't need to worry about it. I just want to know if you will agree to my additional condition or not," Yang Jian said seriously. "If you can agree, then we can have a pleasant cooperation today."
"I am only responsible for the cash acquisition of this item. I do not have the authority to decide on your additional condition," Sun Lihong said.
"Then call your boss and ask someone who can make the decision."
Yang Jian said: "Everyone's time is valuable, please don't deliberately delay, or I will be very unhappy."
"And if I am unhappy, you won't be happy either."
As he spoke, his eyes, which glowed with a red light, stared at her with a hint of menace.
Sun Lihong's expression changed slightly, and she said solemnly: "I... understand. I will consult with my superiors. Please wait a moment."
With that, she stood up immediately.
"Mr. Yang, I will be excused for a moment."
"Please do," Yang Jian smiled slightly.
Sun Lihong quickly left with her people, and she took out a phone and dialed a number, seemingly contacting someone.
Yang Jian had no intention of eavesdropping and simply waited quietly.
"Do you know the method to extend the revival of a ghost?" Suddenly, the middle-aged man named Zhang Han approached, somewhat excited.
Yang Jian looked at him and said: "Me? I don't know. But these people know. If you want to find out, ask them. If I knew, I wouldn't be trading a ghost with them for this."
He shifted the focus to Sun Lihong and the others.
Putting pressure and threats on these people would benefit his negotiation.
If they refused Yang Jian, it would also cut off the hope of other ghost controllers to continue living, and no one knew what the consequences would be.
"You're right, you don't know, but they must know." Zhang Han stared at Sun Lihong, who was making a phone call in the distance.
His eyes were filled with a hint of ferocity and madness.
"Boss, the situation has become complicated. Yang Jian knows some information and has proposed the method to control a second ghost and extend the revival of a ghost as an additional condition... Moreover, other ghost controllers also know about this method. If we can't complete this transaction today, it will be very difficult for us to leave this club."
Sun Lihong felt several terrifying gazes on her back, making her shudder.
Although it was still summer, she felt a chill all over her body, and her hair stood on end.
These people seemed ready to tear them apart.
"Okay, I understand."
"Yes, I know what to do."
Sun Lihong nodded and responded.
No one knew what was said on the other end of the phone.
A moment later, she put down the phone and returned.
"Sorry, Mr. Yang, for keeping you waiting," Sun Lihong said as she sat down.
Yang Jian was polishing a baton from a book and playing with a special pistol, and he smiled: "No problem. I wonder how your discussion went?"
"The method to control a second ghost... is very complex," Sun Lihong said. "Rashly controlling a second ghost has a mortality rate of over 90%."
"But someone has succeeded, hasn't he?" Yang Jian stared at her.
"Indeed, there are exceptions, but that might be an accident. Mr. Yang should also know that not everyone is that lucky," Sun Lihong said.
"I understand, so there must be some key factor that I don't know."
Sun Lihong continued: "Our boss agrees to your additional condition and the acquisition plan, but in return, one item is not enough as collateral."
"Do you mean I have to catch another ghost for you? If that's the case, I'd rather give up the 100 million."
"No, you need to solve a paranormal event for the company. Of course, anyone who can solve this paranormal event and capture the ghost can complete the transaction with the company and obtain the method to control a second ghost. However, the success rate is not 100%, and there is still a significant chance of failure," Sun Lihong said.
"Here are the documents and my business card. Contact me when you complete it."
"Then we will conclude today's meeting and leave first," Sun Lihong said.
Before she could stand up, Yang Jian immediately said: "Wait."
"Hmm? Is there anything else?" Sun Lihong asked.
Yang Jian said: "Nothing much, just a reminder. If you are lying or if there is any deception... all of you will die. Of course, if you have anything to hide, you can say it now, and I can pretend nothing happened. If you leave here, the consequences will be on you."
When he said this, Sun Lihong and her group clearly showed fear.
Don't underestimate the threat from a young man like Yang Jian, but considering he is a ghost controller, the weight of his words is different.
"Rest assured, it won't happen," Sun Lihong said nervously.
"Very well, if there is, I will trace it back and destroy your entire family," Yang Jian said. "Now that I have said my piece, please do as you please."
"Then we will leave first."
Sun Lihong seemed hurried and frightened, and she and her colleagues left as if they were fleeing.
"Can you find them afterward?" Yang Jian suddenly asked.
Yan Li nodded: "Of course."
"That's good. Some precautions are necessary," Yang Jian said, looking at the documents on the table.
He casually flipped through them.
The location was a village in the outskirts of Dachang City.
There was no other information.
"Are you really going to solve this paranormal event?" Yan Li asked. "Our situation is not good. If we go, we might not come back."
"I am well aware, and I even suspect it might be a conspiracy by Sun Lihong's company," Yang Jian said. "But..."
As he spoke, he looked at the others.
"You heard what that woman said. If you want to live, you need to solve this paranormal event and capture the ghost. Is anyone interested in forming a team?"
"Are you afraid?"
Wang Xiaoqiang said with a hint of mockery: "Weren't you very powerful before?"
"Don't say that. I am still a child, and I feel insecure without adults around," Yang Jian said. "I will leave the documents here. I will go to this village in three days. If you want to come, come. If not, I won't force you."
"Although there is only one chance to live, if you miss it, you will really be waiting for death. And since someone has succeeded, the method to live can be shared, provided everyone contributes."
He needed some people to participate and share the risk.
This paranormal event seemed unusual to him.
However, because he had a ghost domain, he was not afraid of others competing. He could take the box from Yan Li in the market and could also take things from others.
In other words,
Those who participate will be working for him.
"I have said my piece. Today was not a waste. I won't disturb you further. See you in three days if you come."
Yang Jian stood up and left without another word.
Yan Li also left with him, leaving the group in the club.
But their attention was not on Yang Jian but on the documents on the table.
That was... the hope of living.
To take a chance to extend the revival of a ghost, or to sit here and wait for death?
