Yang Jian ultimately chose to pretend he was unaware of the reergence of the Hungry Ghost incident and did not plan to get involved. He rely instructed Liu Xiaoyu to keep an eye on the progress of the matter, deciding that after it concluded, he would step in to retrieve both the Hungry Ghost and the Coffin Nail and then have Cao Yanhua resign, to directly prevent such incidents from recurring in the future.
In the anti, he took advantage of this free ti to reorganize the team, trying to increase everyone's strength as much as possible to face any future supernatural events in a better state.
Afternoon.
Yang Jian left work early and, as usual, drove towards the Guanjiang Residential Complex.
He drove at a leisurely pace on the sparsely traveled roads.
Jiang Yan and Zhang Liqin were silent in the car, not daring to disturb him, as they could tell that Yang Jian was not in a good mood because of the reappearance of the Hungry Ghost incident.
The atmosphere inside the car seed sowhat oppressive.
Yang Jian was not angry, in fact, he was very calm inside and had no other thoughts. It's just that now his status was too high, and even the smallest of his actions would draw attention, especially from the people around him.
"So boring."
Jiang Yan leaned against the car window, yawning as she looked at the scenery in the distance.
But the scenery along the way ho was boring to her, nothing special.
But just at that mont.
Under the shade of a large tree on the sidewalk, soone caught Jiang Yan's attention. She blinked and looked over curiously.
Standing under the tree's shade was a woman dressed in a red cheongsam, wearing red high heels. Her slender and tall figure was graceful, her fair and beautiful face showing a slight flirty smile. Even n would be stunned, let alone Jiang Yan, a woman herself, who was montarily dazed.
The cheongsam-clad woman under the tree's shade seed to have noticed Jiang Yan as well, raising her hand and smiling while waving, as if greeting her.
"Elder Sister Qin, did you see that?" Jiang Yan said excitedly.
"See what?" Zhang Liqin asked, puzzled.
Jiang Yan pointed backward and said, "Just now, under the shade of a tree by the road, there was a beautiful woman in a red cheongsam, like a star, no, even more beautiful than a star, it really surprised , and she had great temperant, she waved at just now. If I weren't driving, I would love to take another look."
"Are you talking about that person there?" Zhang Liqin pointed to the front.
Under the shade of the tree in front of the car, a beautiful woman in a cheongsam seed to have noticed the people inside the car, smilingly raising her hand to greet them.
"Yes, yes, that's her. Isn't she beautiful?" Jiang Yan said, then suddenly her face changed dramatically: "No, we just passed that person, so how co she's appearing ahead again?"
"Don't frighten . Maybe you saw it wrong." Zhang Liqin said.
Jiang Yan confidently declared, "Impossible, how could I have seen wrong, that woman is so distinctive, standing under the tree shade in a red cheongsam, you can see her as soon as you pass by."
Zhang Liqin's eyes moved, she looked at Yang Jian but found Yang Jian did not react, and then said, "Don't make a fuss, you're probably just tired, just rest well when we get back."
"I'm not tired at all."
Jiang Yan said, then she saw sothing again and beca excited: "Look, look quickly, that woman under the tree shade appears again ahead, this ti I definitely didn't see it wrong."
She pointed to the side of the road ahead.
Sure enough.
The woman in a red cheongsam whom they had passed just now appeared in view again, smiling and waving to greet the people inside the car.
Zhang Liqin's face imdiately changed, her body instinctively tensed up.
Sure enough, there was sothing wrong with the woman under the tree shade.
"Yang Jian, did you see that woman under the tree shade?" Jiang Yan asked fearfully.
"I saw it." Yang Jian, who was driving, replied very calmly, as if what happened just now was just a trivial matter, not worth ntioning.
Zhang Liqin's expression changed uncertainly, and then she cautiously asked, "President Yang, if I may say, that woman seems very similar to the one called Sister Hong recorded in the notebook. Could she be coming to find you? This woman is very unusual, if she's appearing in Dachang City now, she might have other purposes."
She was responsible for recording many of Yang Jian's experiences in a notebook, and now recalled a mysterious woman described in it.
Although she had never t her, such a distinctive person was easily rembered.
"Don't ddle." Yang Jian said calmly.
"Mm."
Zhang Liqin responded softly, then looked at Jiang Yan, lightly shaking her head to indicate that Jiang Yan should pretend not to see and refrain from getting involved in such dangerous matters.
The few people in the car were pretending not to know and ignored it.
But uncanny events were still happening.
No matter how Yang Jian drove forward, the car kept moving along the road, and every few distances, the group could see, under the shade of the sidewalk trees, the woman in the red qipao standing there waving.
The vehicle seed to be circling one spot, unable to smoothly leave this road and return to Guanjiang Residential Complex.
Moreover, there were no other vehicles on the road at this ti, only this one car driving on it.
However, Yang Jian did not stop the car; he continued to press the gas pedal, neither hurriedly nor slowly, and ignored Sister Hong, who waved at him from the roadside.
Jiang Yan and Zhang Liqin were puzzled, but looking at Yang Jian, they dared not ask aloud.
As ti gradually passed.
About ten minutes later.
Looking again towards the side of the road, they found that the familiar large tree was gone, and the woman in the red qipao had disappeared.
"Gone?" Jiang Yan glanced and confird that the woman was really gone; she imdiately breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next mont, Zhang Liqin suddenly hurriedly said: "President Yang, be careful, there's soone on the road ahead."
The woman in the red qipao hadn't vanished; she now appeared in the middle of the road.
Yang Jian did not brake sharply because of the person in front of him. He remained calm and instead floored the pedal; with the roar of the engine, the vehicle accelerated and collided forward.
The imagined scene of flesh and blood did not occur.
The woman standing in the middle of the road disappeared upon being struck, leaving no trace behind.
"Disappeared again?" Jiang Yan was amazed and uncertain; she looked out the window, trying to find traces of the qipao woman.
However, within the cabin, a playful, pleasant laugh sounded: "Haha, don't bother looking, I'm right here."
The unfamiliar voice appeared, horrifying Jiang Yan into a cold sweat in the passenger's seat.
Zhang Liqin, in the back seat, bit her lip, her expression tense; she suddenly saw an unfamiliar woman sitting beside her without knowing when she appeared, a woman dressed in a red qipao exuding a chilling aura, making her shiver.
"Yang Jian, is this how you treat old friends? I greeted you so warmly, yet you didn't even glance at , standing right in front of you. And you tried to run over with your car, heartlessly breaking my heart."
Sister Hong sighed softly, seemingly revealing boundless sorrow and resentnt.
"You shouldn't appear in Dachang City, nor in front of ," Yang Jian said coldly.
Sister Hong crossed her legs, revealing a fair, long leg; she leaned against her hand and smiled slightly: "You took the Ghost Post Office, forcing to lose my residence. After wandering outside, I found nowhere to go, so I ca looking for you."
"Lived long enough and ca to to die? Believe it or not, I could have you buried in Dachang City today." Yang Jian's tone remained calm, yet his words were edged with sharpness.
Sister Hong touched Zhang Liqin's cheek beside her and smiled, saying: "Acting here, aren't you afraid these two little won might accidentally lose their lives? Such a nice face, surely good at serving people, you have good taste; if she dies, it'd indeed be regrettable."
Zhang Liqin dared not resist; her body tightened, feeling the piercing cold emanating from those few fair fingers.
This Sister Hong was almost like a fresh corpse; she looked beautiful but lacked the slightest warmth.
"Reversing life and death is not a difficult matter for ; if you want to kill them, go ahead, I don't mind." Yang Jian looked at the vehicle, his tone still calm.
Sister Hong withdrew her hand from Zhang Liqin's face slowly, then said: "It's been so ti, and you've developed quite a deanor; I rember when I first saw you, you were quite young and impetuous. Now your change surprises , but rest assured, I won't bully them."
"Did you co to Dachang City to find just to say a few pointless words? Actually, I wish you'd co looking for a fight, after all, soone like you is always an unstable factor; who knows when you might lose control and beco a real ghost? Moreover, the Republic of China period is long gone; this era doesn't belong to you, Zhang Youhong," Yang Jian said.
"Zhang Youhong? Haven't heard that na in a long ti, really nostalgic." Sister Hong lanted.
"But I'm here without hostility, you should know; otherwise, you'd have acted long ago, wouldn't you?"
Yang Jian replied: "I simply don't want to fight within Dachang City, since soone like you, I'm still wary of, and a real battle would affect the surroundings. Tell why you're approaching this ti, as soone like you wouldn't appear for nothing without sothing serious."
"I'm a guest, can't you find a place to entertain a bit? Matters should be discussed slowly, as ti is quite ample, no rush." Sister Hong smiled.
Yang Jian glanced at her: "Then co to my house and have a seat."
"Such courage, daring to invite to your ho, aren't you afraid I'll recognize your place and drop by anyti?" Sister Hong said.
"Without my guidance, how wouldn't you recognize my ho? Soone like you, where wouldn't you go, few could stop you." Yang Jian said.
Sister Hong laughed: "Looks like to you, I'm a potential threat; no wonder you always want to kill ."
