Mysterious Revival-Chapter 767 - 734 Sun Rui

Over the next few days, Yang Jian went to work normally in Dachang City, and everything seemed to have returned to calm after that gathering.

He worked from nine to five, and his life became extremely regular.

In the company, Yang Jian's presence gradually became more frequent. Although he had nothing to do, as long as he was alive, Shangtong Tower would always exist, and everything would develop in a good direction.

"President Yang, the company has recently received another investment. However, the CEO would like to invite you to dinner. I wonder what your thoughts are?"

Inside the office, Zhang Liqin walked in slowly, her high heels clicking on the floor. She wore light makeup and, as always, appeared mature and beautiful, dedicated to her work.

But privately, this woman was clingy and good at acting coquettishly.

At least that's how Yang Jian felt these past few days.

"Don't see them. Don't notify me about such matters in the future. I'm not interested in these people," Yang Jian waved his hand, "As for the funds, Wang Bin has enough now."

"Okay."

Zhang Liqin nodded, then smiled and asked, "What would President Yang like for lunch? I'll have the cafeteria prepare it."

"Just the usual is fine."

Yang Jian, looking at an electronic alarm clock on his desk, appeared thoughtful, not concerned with these everyday trifles.

The electronic alarm clock was a bit strange; it was a countdown timer set to ninety days. However, the count had since dropped to seventy-five.

Half a month had already passed.

This countdown timer was marking the deadline for Yang Jian's deal with the Ghost Cabinet.

He had to visit an ancient house within three months and open one of its doors, and the key to that door... was on him.

"Yang Jian, what are you thinking about? Is there something troubling you?"

Zhang Liqin's eyes moved, and she came over to Yang Jian, placing her hand on his shoulder and gently kneading it.

"Nothing. Just some personal issues that are irrelevant to ordinary people."

Zhang Liqin, hearing this, guessed what it might be. She bent down and whispered in his ear, "If you feel a bit down, I can keep you company for a while; no one will come to the office at this time."

"No need."

Yang Jian's gaze shifted from the numbers and he said, "Go downstairs and inform Zang Hua and Li Yang to come here."

"Of course, President Yang."

Zhang Liqin was a bit disappointed, but she immediately resumed her professional demeanor and left the office without any delay.

Shortly after.

Zhang Liqin arrived at the office with Zang Hua and Li Yang.

"Captain Yang, is there a situation?" Zang Hua asked immediately.

Yang Jian waved his hand, "Don't be nervous, I just wanted to have you guys up here for a chat."

"So that's it." Zang Hua smiled, "It just so happens I'm free these days, and I'm more than happy to have a chat with Captain Yang."

Having a good relationship with the person in charge was beneficial for work.

Zang Hua was aware of this.

Zhang Liqin said nothing, simply turning to make tea for the two guests.

"It's not just about having a chat. I also want to discuss something," Yang Jian said calmly; "Lately, I've noticed Dachang City is very peaceful. My commutes to and from work are leisurely, so I'm thinking of taking a short leave."

"Is Captain Yang going on a business trip?" Zang Hua took the tea Zhang Liqin handed him and asked with a hint of surprise.

Recently, he recalled no foreign contacts having reached out to Yang Jian.

Yang Jian replied, "It's not exactly a business trip, just a walkabout to investigate some matters."

"Is it about that coordinate from before?" Zang Hua lowered his voice and asked, not bothering to avoid the topic.

"Correct, I want to go to Dahan City and check it out," Yang Jian said.

Zang Hua nodded, "If it's Dahan City, then it's quite close. Not too far. If Captain Yang wants to go, I can arrange the itinerary. When do you plan to leave?"

As long as it was within the country, it didn't matter where Yang Jian went; it was normal for someone of his Captain Level status to travel.

However, if he was going abroad, Zang Hua would need to file a report.

"Tomorrow. As for the itinerary, I'll have my secretary arrange it," Yang Jian then added, "Zhang Liqin, book two tickets to Dahan City for me."

"Certainly, President Yang," Zhang Liqin nodded, her expression turning somewhat reluctant.

She enjoyed accompanying Yang Jian to and from work every day and hadn't expected that he would have to leave on a business trip only a few days later.

"Two tickets, who else is joining?" Zang Hua asked, surprised.

Yang Jian pointed and said, "Li Yang, you will come with me. Feng Quan, Tong Qian, and Huang Ziya have all gone back for the New Year. They contacted me and said they wouldn't be able to move their families to Dachang City until after the celebrations - it's quite a hassle when you're bringing your family. So, you'll accompany me on this trip. Besides, I want to see how capable you are, especially since you're new here."

"Since Captain Yang has made the request, of course, I'm willing to accompany you," Li Yang nodded, offering no objections.

He knew that to play his part in Dachang City, he needed to contribute.

Otherwise, how could he, a newcomer, secure his position?

Yang Jian continued, "Don't be nervous. It's just a routine investigation. If anything goes wrong, as long as you follow the protocol, you'll be as safe as you were last time."

"I understand what you mean, Captain Yang," Li Yang nodded. He didn't believe Yang Jian would lie to deceive him.

After all, he had survived the Ghost Painting, and he felt assured that following Yang Jian on a business trip would be safe.

In fact, Yang Jian had pondered whether to bring Li Yang with him to investigate the location pointed out by the Door Knocking Ghost. After all, it was a secret, and he didn't want many people to know about it.

But on reflection, he realized that the secret itself wasn't important.

The answer was.

If he kept going solo, an accident was bound to happen sooner or later. Having an extra person could at least share some of the pressure.

And the ghost controlled by Li Yang was quite unique.

The Door-blocking Ghost.

It could even keep fierce ghosts trapped behind doors, and in the face of an unstoppable danger, it could effectively buy time and opportunity.

In any case, it's best to be cautious and having an ace in the hole is never a mistake.

"So who will take care of Dachang City in the meantime?" Zang Hua asked again.

"Same as before, find Zhang Han," Yang Jian said. "He spends his days with his wife and child, life is too peaceful for him. Since he has enjoyed the safety and resources that Dachang City offers, it's time he made a contribution. Plus, if there's a situation while I'm in Dahan City, I can return immediately. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"Alright," Zang Hua nodded, not inquiring further.

After all, the two places were indeed close by, and a short trip would not have a significant impact, knowing the current situation in Dachang City.

"That's all for now. Li Yang, go prepare. We leave early tomorrow morning," Yang Jian said.

"Okay, Captain Yang."

Zang Hua suddenly thought of something at this moment and whispered, "By the way, the liaison from headquarters asked me to inquire about Xiong Wenwen's situation."

"Xiong Wenwen's situation? Who asked about it?" Yang Jian asked in return.

"It was Xiong Wenwen's mother, Chen Shumei. She called Deputy Minister Cao Yanhua, and he, not knowing how to explain, pushed the matter onto me... The Deputy Minister said that you, Captain Yang, would know." Zang Hua said.

Yang Jian frowned slightly, recalling this minor detail. Chen Shumei had once pleaded with him to help save Xiong Wenwen, but he had refused. However, out of consideration for a mother's love for her child, he had given Chen Shumei Cao Yanhua's phone number.

Unexpectedly, Chen Shumei had actually sought help from Cao Yanhua.

"Xiong Wenwen is in my custody, but the situation is complicated and cannot be explained briefly. Tell that Chen Shumei to come to Dachang City," Yang Jian said. "Some things indeed need to be discussed face to face, especially since she is Xiong Wenwen's guardian."

"Okay, Captain Yang, I know what to do," Zang Hua nodded.

Yang Jian glanced at the security room inside the office.

Inside, Xiong Wenwen's paper effigy was placed alongside the coffin that had contained a corpse last time.

But for now, he had no intention of reviving Xiong Wenwen.

Because there was no need.

Moreover, he did not trust Leuk San, so he needed to observe for a while. Caution was paramount. Besides, the resurrection of such an aberration required further consideration, and of course, it depended on whether Xiong Wenwen's mother, Chen Shumei, would agree.

This matter was quite special.

Not everyone has the courage to accept their child turning into a paper effigy.

"This matter can wait until I return. If Chen Shumei arrives, Zhang Liqin, you arrange for her care," Yang Jian added.

"Okay, President Yang, I've noted it down," Zhang Liqin said, immediately jotting this down in her notes.

"By the way, Captain Yang, the investigation into Sun Ren's case is ongoing, but we have no leads yet. I'm reporting to you now," Zang Hua brought up another matter.

It was about Sun Ren abducting Zhang Wei.

Yang Jian waved his hand, "Forget it, a ghost controller hiding is mostly untraceable. He was my high school classmate, I understand him somewhat. Just continue the manhunt and notify me if there's any news."

"Understood," Zang Hua was meticulous in his work, reporting everything to Yang Jian without hiding anything.

After hearing his various work reports, Yang Jian let him leave, then inquired about the situation with Li Yang.

Li Yang was now living in the Guanjiang Residential Complex, where Jiang Yan had assigned him a residence. He was also arranged a position in the company with a monthly salary of a million and a nominal job.

Of course, this arrangement was made with Yang Jian's agreement. Although the treatment was not very high, it was not low.

"If there's nothing else, you should go back and prepare. This time it might be dangerous," Yang Jian said seriously.

"Okay, Captain Yang, I have a grasp of it, don't worry," Li Yang nodded. "Then I'll leave first. I don't know what time we are departing tomorrow."

"I'll have my secretary inform you later," Yang Jian said.

"Alright, then I won't disturb you any further, Captain Yang," Li Yang said politely as he left.

Zhang Liqin came over and said, "The flight tomorrow is at 9:30 A.M. I've already booked the tickets. But speaking of which, our lives are pretty peaceful now. Some issues could be left alone. You also feel good staying in Dachang City, right?"

"It is nice, but many things are out of our control. Don't be curious about matters of the paranormal world, just focus on your work," Yang Jian said.

He did want to settle down in Dachang City for his retirement.

But he still had the curse of the Ghost Cabinet transaction on him, as well as the lurking danger of ghostly resurrections.

Besides, supernatural incidents have grown even more terrifying, and some secrets must be understood and uncovered quickly...

Doing nothing simply wouldn't address any sudden changes that might arise in the future.

Not to mention, if Dachang City were to experience another S-level supernatural event, Yang Jian, to be frank, wouldn't stand a chance unless he was willing to risk his life.

Yet now, S-level supernatural occurrences were already becoming more frequent.

This indicated a problem.

The ghosts were completing the puzzle, or perhaps some terrifyingly ferocious ghosts were beginning to emerge gradually.

It had only been half a year.

Yang Jian was somewhat emotional in his heart.

He had only been a ghost-master for half a year. Looking back, half a year ago, the supernatural incidents were still unclear, and the situation was under the control of headquarters. But now, one Ghost Envoy incident and one ghost drawing event almost wiped out a group of ghost-masters from headquarters.

Besides this.

Headquarters had suffered an inexplicable intrusion, and even the Hungry Ghost had been stolen.

This sense of crisis had been continuously reminding Yang Jian that the seemingly calm status quo would soon cease to exist.

And it was when he decided to go to Dahan City.

At this very moment.

Dahan City.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

On the top floor of a tall building.

"Cough cough."

A few faint coughs sounded as a man in his mid-twenties, dressed in a suit and smoking a cigarette, frowned and put down the satellite positioning phone in his hand.

"That brawler and troublemaker, Ghost Eye Yang Jian, is coming to my Dahan City?"

The man stood up, leaning on a golden cane with a slight limp, walking unsteadily, his complexion not looking good, sallow and dark as if he was a patient on his deathbed, ready to pass away at any moment.

However, his demeanor bore no trace of sickness, but rather an indescribable "vigor."

His name was Sun Rui.

The person in charge of this city, a ghost-master who controlled two fierce ghosts.

He used to be considered a top-tier entity, but now, he could only reluctantly rank below the Captains.

It was precisely because Sun Rui knew he didn't qualify to be a Captain that he simply stayed in Dahan City, too lazy to bother with other places; he didn't even care when headquarters was selecting Captains.

"Zang Hua and I had a phone call. He's coming here just to investigate some matters; there's no special meaning, so we don't have to be too concerned," a thirty-something assistant next to him said.

"Don't need to be concerned? That's Ghost Eye Yang Jian, the tough guy who solved an S-level supernatural event. I can afford to ignore him, but what if he takes an interest in me?"

Sun Rui gestured and said, "Don't offend this guy. His flight is tomorrow morning; you arrange someone to pick him up... never mind, I'll make the trip myself. I might as well ask him about his purpose for coming here. Such a person has a strong sense of purpose; he wouldn't visit my city for no reason. I'm a bit worried."

"Something must have happened in Dahan City, probably related to that matter."

He then added very seriously.

"Alright, I'll make the arrangements." The assistant nodded seriously.

"Go ahead."

Sun Rui waved his hand and then limped to the window, looking in the direction of the city, frowning deeply.
