Chapter 567: 564
After leaving the university, Yang Jian didn’t go back to Ping’an Hotel to rest.
He checked the ti, and it was already 1 a.m.
Dealing with the Ghost Painting case had indeed wasted quite a bit of ti. By now, He Tianxiong, whom he hadn’t killed earlier, had probably already fled far away. There was no longer an opportunity to take action against him.
However, as Yang Jian had chosen not to kill He Tianxiong at the ti, this outco was to be expected.
It’s easy to kill that guy, but the ghost behind him is troubleso to deal with.
Moreover, with the Ghost Painting incident occurring right next to Miao Xiaoshan, Yang Jian had no choice but to let one side go.
...
While walking down a quiet pedestrian path, Yang Jian’s hand, donned with golden gloves, reached into his pocket and pulled out a mobile phone.
Thanks to the gloves, the Ghost Hand didn’t destroy this phone.
Yang Jian made a call.
Soon, the call connected.
"Where are you?”
Yang Jian’s voice was indifferent, as if lacking any trace of emotion.
"You’re calling this late? I thought you weren’t going to contact ,” Li Yao’s voice ca through the phone.
"Cut the chatter. Where are you right now? I need to see you,” Yang Jian said.
Li Yao replied irritably, “Whenever it’s sothing important, you rember to look for . When there’s nothing, you just toss aside. You have zero gentlemanly charm. I’m out shopping and was about to grab so late-night food before going to sleep. It’s so cold at night, I’m not in the mood to keep you company and freeze outdoors.”
"et sowhere nearby where there aren’t many people,” Yang Jian said and then hung up the phone.
"Hey, hey, I’m going back to sleep now, not waiting for you.” On an comrcial street, Li Yao yelled into the phone, but the other side had already disconnected, which annoyed her greatly.
Enough had happened today, and she was in a terrible mood, only for Yang Jian to trouble her just when she was about to go ho.
"This is utterly unreasonable. Calling at this hour, with no consideration at all.”
"Really, how did I co to fall for such a person? I see nothing but flaws when I look at him, not a single redeeming quality. It’s a miracle that his personality and temperant have gotten him this far.”
While grumbling to herself, Li Yao left the comrcial street and went to a nearby empty space with fewer people to wait.
But what she didn’t know was that Yang Jian wasn’t the type to interact much with people. He mostly dealt with ghosts, so no matter how annoying he was, it didn’t affect his growth and progress.
After waiting for a good half hour,
Li Yao felt like she was almost frozen from the cold when she finally saw Yang Jian stepping out of a taxi nearby.
"No wonder it took so long, you actually took a taxi here.” Seeing this scene, she gritted her teeth in frustration.
As soon as Yang Jian saw Li Yao, he headed straight towards her.
"What’s the matter with you today? You actually let He Tianxiong go. Do you realize that when I went to check, I ran into him? I almost got killed by him, and even to the very end, you never showed up. Do you truly not care whether I live or die?” As soon as they t, Li Yao couldn’t hold back her anger and burst out.
"Now you’ve made a ss of things. I’d like to see how you’ll clean this up tomorrow.”
Yang Jian remained unmoved, as if he hadn’t heard her, and simply said calmly, “The WeChat mont’s issue is no longer your concern. No, I misspoke. My affairs are no longer your concern.”
Li Yao was stunned. “What do you an by that?”
"I an exactly what I said,” Yang Jian replied, “As of now, I no longer need you.”
Li Yao thought it was a joke, but seeing Yang Jian’s indifferent deanor, it didn’t seem like he was joking.
"So, after using , you want to cast aside? Are you planning a hit-and-run? Like putting on your pants and pretending not to recognize ?” Li Yao suddenly beca furious.
Yang Jian was still unaffected. “Don’t say it so crudely. Haven’t you ever wondered why you would fall for at all?”
"What do you an?” asked Li Yao.
"We’ve only t once before, with no prior acquaintance, and this is my first ti coming to this city… And you, as an assistant to the WeChat group at Ping’an Tower, why would you suddenly fall for a ghost controller from out of town? And this affection erged without any warning,” Yang Jian spoke coolly and indifferently.
"You’re a mature and intelligent person, well beyond the age of naively yearning for love. What are the chances of falling for a stranger out of the blue, especially an enemy?”
Hearing this, Li Yao’s face suddenly changed.
Because Yang Jian’s words subtly revealed a very terrifying fact.
So horrific that she herself didn’t even dare to imagine.
Yet, there was one thing Yang Jian said that she absolutely agreed with, why had she developed feelings for Yang Jian out of the blue?
This man was nothing like the ideal boyfriend she had in mind. Not even close.
Uncultured, arrogant, and rude, he was every woman’s worst nightmare, and before becoming a ghost controller, a pure and absolute loser.
That sort of person, if it had been in the past, she would have felt sick just looking at him, feeling as though her eyes were polluted.
"I, I learned about you from your files, and from that ti I felt for you….” Li Yao’s expression beca a bit uneasy as she started to try to recall her mories about Yang Jian.
She realized that everything had started when she was organizing files in the past.
Yang Jian then said, “Files? Are you sure you saw my files? Can you find the current location of those files?”
"Your file is located at Li Yao suddenly froze.
She had a good mory, but she couldn’t rember where Yang Jian’s file was, the exact location. She only knew there was such a file, that she had seen it, but beyond that, she couldn’t find a single clue about it. It was as if the mory of that file had appeared out of nowhere in her mind.
Could it be…
Li Yao’s face imdiately changed; she gradually realized sothing was not quite right.
"Have you noticed it yet?”
A hint of a cold smile appeared on Yang Jian’s lips, “Such an obvious hint, it’s normal for soone as smart as you to spot the issue. After all, I didn’t plan to use you for too long because, given enough ti without any reminder from , you would start to notice on your own, and then the troubleso one would be . After all, I can’t be watching your status all the ti, so it’s better to just spell it out.”
"You, you, what have you done to ?”
Li Yao looked up again, her eyes now filled with fear and unease.
"You already have the answer in your mind,” said Yang Jian.
"I, I’ve been influenced by Ghost Shadow Li Yao’s voice trembled slightly as she clutched her arms, feeling exceptionally cold.
Yang Jian didn’t respond; he simply asked a very strange question, “Li Yao, what is one plus one?”
It was a code.
When he had rewritten Li Yao’s mory, he had specifically left this code. As long as he personally asked this question, Li Yao would regain all her mories.
This thod had never been tested before, he had decided out of curiosity to try it on her the last ti.
As soon as the question was asked, Li Yao imdiately froze in place.
A surge of familiar mories eerily erged in her mind, mories that were hers all along, but for so reason, she had always forgotten them, as if she had suffered from amnesia, but now she rembered them all.
She rembered.
She rembered everything.
The first ti she t Yang Jian was at Ping’an Tower.
She had never reviewed Yang Jian’s file, never t him, and certainly never liked him.
That day, after work, as she was driving ho, she suddenly noticed that there were fewer and fewer cars on the road, fewer and fewer, until she was the only one left.
At that ti, she was very scared, thinking she had encountered a supernatural event and wanted to flee.
But when she turned around, she encountered Yang Jian.
Yang Jian sat under the streetlight reading a newspaper.
The newspaper was sared with blood, old and eerie, and before losing her mory, Yang Jian even told her he would… alter her mories.
After that… she was found in Ping’an Hotel, in bed with Yang Jian, and from then on, she sohow started liking Yang Jian, whom she had originally despised.
Then, she helped him against her circle of friends without hesitation, betrayed their secrets to him, and led him to kill mbers of her friend circle.
"Ah!”

After understanding all the things that had happened, Li Yao felt like she was going to collapse. Overwheld with emotion and unable to control herself, she clutched her head and couldn’t help but scream.
People nearby heard the scream and turned to look.
But it was only out of curiosity; no one ddled too much. Most people just gave a few glances before walking away, while those with a stronger curiosity stopped to see what was going on.
"Rembered everything?” Yang Jian asked.
