"So, you’re letting your person leave this city with that Zhao Xiaoya just like that?"
Gao Ming’s hollow eye sockets locked onto the silhouette of Liu Siyue.
In his eyes, she wasn’t an ordinary person, because Liu Siyue exuded a strong supernatural aura from head to toe. In his vision, such a person was as conspicuous as a torch in the black night, easily identifiable from a distance.
"If you’re uneasy, you can have soone keep an eye on her."
Yang Jian said, "With the headquarters’ thods, monitoring a living person shouldn’t be difficult."
Gao Ming asked in surprise, "You don’t oppose it?"
"Why should I oppose it? Her existence is only to stabilize Zhao Xiaoya. Do you think she can keep living?" Yang Jian glanced aside.
"Dealing with the supernatural is an extrely dangerous thing. If she doesn’t do a good job, she could die at any ti, but that’s also her task upon returning to this world."
"Monitoring, stabilizing Zhao Xiaoya, this plan is indeed a good one." Gao Ming pondered again.
Compared to imprisoning a malevolent spirit, this thod was obviously safer and more secure.
The cost was also minimal.
"This matter will end here for now. If you have a better way, then go ahead. Don’t involve , and don’t co to to clean up the ss if sothing goes wrong." Yang Jian said coldly.
Gao Ming smiled, "Since Captain Yang has spoken, how dare I have any other opinions? This works well, but I still hope Captain Yang can contact us imdiately if there’s any situation, to prevent unexpected occurrences."
"You seem a bit verbose. Are you coveting that wish-fulfilling ghost’s supernatural power?"
Yang Jian’s gaze shifted slightly. He sharply sensed Gao Ming’s intentions.
"The wish-fulfilling supernatural power is indeed tempting, almost like Aladdin’s lamp from mythology. If used well, so incredible miracles might occur." Gao Ming said.
Yang Jian smiled mockingly, "Do you think supernatural power is that wonderful? The entire Zhao Kaiming family, old and young, beca lost souls surrounding Zhao Xiaoya. Do you also want to try having your entire family wiped out?"
"What if Zhao Xiaoya makes a wish?" Gao Ming said in a hushed voice.
"I see, you have that idea." Yang Jian said.
Gao Ming shook his head, "No, it’s not my idea, but in so special circumstances, the headquarters needs to have this card to play."
"Headquarters’ directive?"
Yang Jian frowned, "Ordinary people shouldn’t think about taking advantage of the supernatural. Everything cos at a cost. Tell them to give up their thoughts. If they’re serious, they should beco ghost handlers themselves. Only by surviving do they have the right to enjoy the beauty the supernatural brings."
"Forget it, I don’t want to say more to you. I’m leaving. Rember to look after my Miao Xiaoshan. And rember, if sothing happens to her next, you die."
After speaking, he pointed at Gao Ming very seriously.
The deal was already completed.
Yang Jian fulfilled his promise, so Gao Ming also had to honor his commitnt.
"I didn’t expect this matter could be resolved in this way."
Gao Ming said, "However, I promised Captain Yang naturally, I will do it. I do have so credit, but Captain Yang, don’t be in a hurry to leave yet."
"What are you plotting now?" Yang Jian said.
"I’m not plotting anything, but the headquarters wants to see you." Gao Ming said and took out a satellite-positioning phone.
There was indeed a text ssage notification.
It was sent by Deputy Minister Cao Yanhua, specifically naming Yang Jian to visit headquarters.
"I shouldn’t have shown up. As soon as I did, I got targeted by Cao Yanhua. Needless to say, there’s sothing he wants to help with."
Yang Jian said, "But he still owes sothing... Just right, I’ll take this opportunity to ask him in person."
"So, are you agreeing to go to headquarters?" Gao Ming asked.
"Why refuse? If I don’t go to headquarters, can Cao Yanhua not find ?"
Yang Jian said, "But if he wants to ask to do sothing, it depends on what price he can offer. I’m not like the other captains. I have an agreent with him from long ago."
"I’m not concerned with Captain Yang and the headquarters’ business. I’m just a ssenger." Gao Ming shrugged, indifferent.
At this mont.
A special vehicle drove over and quickly parked by the roadside.
The car door opened.
Qin irou, who was earlier in the passenger seat, appeared. She got out and said, "Headquarters sent to pick up Captain Yang."
"It looks like it’s none of my business now." Gao Ming said.
Yang Jian looked around, "Looks like I’ve been watched for a long ti. Since Cao Yanhua wants to see , I’ll accompany you. I hope he returns what’s owed to this ti."
Not hesitating, he directly got into the special vehicle.
Qin irou also got in the car. She handed Yang Jian a bottle of cold cola, "Captain Yang, have a drink of water first. This ti you’ve worked hard."
"It’s you who’s worked hard."
Yang Jian glanced at her, "You used to be my operator, though not for long, but since headquarters sent you to pick up, are they trying to public-relations again?"
Hearing this, Qin irou felt slightly embarrassed.
"I’m just following orders. If Captain Yang thinks that way, there’s nothing I can do. After all, he’s the Captain, and it’s entirely reasonable for him to requisition as long as it doesn’t violate any rules."
"No, I’m not interested in you. You should stay with Gao Ming. He’s blind, so you won’t be of much use hovering around him, and we have Liu Xiaoyu working in Dachang City, so there’s no need for one more person."
Yang Jian opened a can of cola, took a sip, then picked up his phone and sent Miao Xiaoshan a text, telling her he had a social engagent and might be back late.
Qin irou’s expression stiffened slightly.
Failing to build a good relationship with a Captain-level person was the biggest failure for her.
Now she felt a bit envious of Liu Xiaoyu and sowhat regretful, as back then she also had a chance to get close to a Captain, but due to so work mistakes and emotional control issues, she missed that opportunity.
With a mix of complex feelings, Qin irou sighed softly to herself.
Soon.
The special car took Yang Jian away from the city center and into a restricted area on the city outskirts.
This was the headquarters of the ghost handlers.
After arriving at headquarters, the car stopped in front of a building.
Getting out of the car, Qin irou said, "Minister Cao is already waiting for Captain Yang in the office, this way please."
Yang Jian didn’t speak, just strode forward. He knew the way, this wasn’t his first visit.
However, as he passed through a hall, his steps suddenly halted.
Yang Jian saw sothing.
To be precise, it was a statue. The statue wasn’t very detailed, only a humanoid silhouette without facial features or detailed textures, looking smooth and akin to abstract art.
However, what concerned him wasn’t the statue’s appearance, but its material.
His ghost eye couldn’t see through it.
It was a statue made of gold.
"Although with the headquarters’ financial resources, building such a statue isn’t difficult, they certainly wouldn’t squander so much gold on a useless decoration... Moreover, in the paranormal world, gold is generally used to contain ghosts."
"The inside of such a large statue should be hollow, so is there a ghost imprisoned within?"
Yang Jian frowned.
Such a guess should be wrong; a fierce ghost wouldn’t be casually displayed like this. Placing it so openly seed more like a symbol and a slight deterrence.
"Looks like Captain Yang is also curious about what’s inside that golden statue." At this mont, a scholarly-looking man approached with a smile.
"Shen Liang?"
Yang Jian glanced at him: "You seem to know, but can you talk about it here?"
People here were bound by strict confidentiality rules, unable to lightly disclose any information.
Shen Liang said, "I certainly can’t tell others, but for a Captain-level individual, many pieces of information are accessible. Headquarters won’t hide anything, provided Captain Yang keeps this matter secret. Otherwise, headquarters will hold you accountable."
While he spoke casually, the information he revealed seed quite serious.
"With what you said, I have a rough idea. This golden statue certainly doesn’t contain a ghost; most likely it contains a person, but not a regular person. It must be a ghost handler, and a top-tier one at that."
"But capturing a top-tier ghost handler wouldn’t result in making such an elaborate statue, and headquarters wouldn’t be so trivial as to seal one inside a statue."
"So, this must have been done with the ghost handler’s consent."
Yang Jian’s eyes flickered: "Thus, this isn’t confinent, but preservation. Soone couldn’t hold on any longer, feared the ghost’s resurgence, so they sealed themselves in the statue. Within headquarters, not many are worthy of this, Li Jun? Or Wei Jing? Or perhaps Cao Yang?"
"No, they shouldn’t be this fast. Could it be that old guy?"
Suddenly.
An unbelievable na flashed through his mind.
Old Qin.
"It seems Captain Yang has guessed it. He’s too old, could have issues at any mont, and this is the safest thod."
Shen Liang cautiously whispered, "But he isn’t dead, just asleep, and can awaken. This was also at his request."
"I didn’t expect Old Qin to have reached his limit." Yang Jian suddenly thought of many things.
Old Qin was very mysterious.
Active decades ago, he drove the supernatural bus, got involved with the Ghost Post Office, encountered countless incredible supernatural events, and knew many unknown secrets, having significant influence in the forr paranormal circle.
Unexpectedly, since the last farewell.
Returning to headquarters this ti, Old Qin had already sealed himself in the statue to prevent sudden death from old age and the ghost’s resurgence.
But having made such arrangents shows how poor his state truly is.
"Not only is Old Qin afraid of the ghost’s resurgence, but he’s also worried about dying of old age," Yang Jian mused.
"There’s a flaw in the way he handles the ghost."
