Chapter 145: Chapter 145 eting Arrangent
At this mont, inside the Xiaoqiang Entertainnt Club.
In the eting room on the fourth floor.
A huge tal table was situated here, large enough to seat thirty people, but right now, only about a dozen were gathered, seemingly discussing sothing.
“It has been confird that Yan Li died due to a vengeful ghost’s resurgence. The incident occurred fifty miles outside Dachang City, next to a stretch of highway. This is the satellite image; you can take a look.” Wang Xiaoqiang, chairing the eting, wore a suit and tie, exuding the composure and sophistication of a successful businessman.
Beneath the projection, a satellite image was displayed.
It was the exact location of Yan Li’s accident.
There, a pool had ford, filled with converging blood.
“As you can all see from the images above, Ghost Blood has begun to spread uncontrollably after leaving his body. In just less than a day, it has already expanded to cover a shocking two thousand square ters, with a depth of at least two ters. This rate of growth is horrifying, and what’s more, the amount of Ghost Blood is still increasing—there’s no sign of it stopping as of now.”
Wang Xiaoqiang frowned and said, “Perhaps we should be relieved that he didn’t die in Dachang City. Otherwise, his Ghost Blood would have followed the underground pipes, infiltrated the water supply, and flowed into thousands of hos, plunging the entire city into paralysis because of this one ghost.”
“However, the reason I’ve called for this eting today is not only to discuss Yan Li’s death but also to talk about He Sheng, Zhang Yiming, Ye Jun, and Ouyang Tian—their four deaths.”
“In just about ten days, the Xiaoqiang Entertainnt Club has lost a total of five mbers, an unprecedented situation since the club’s establishnt. Such a significant loss is all due to one person.”
The projection flickered.
The photo of Yang Jian appeared in front of everyone,
“This is the newcor. So may already recognize him, but most do not, as he has visited the club only once and has not yet decided to join.”
Wang Xiaoqiang continued, “You’ve all seen the basic profile of Yang Jian. His background is simple, a senior high school student, an ordinary person who accidentally beca a Ghost Rider.”
“Like other young people with special abilities, it’s hard not to beco arrogant.”
“He shot Ye Jun in public at the club, caused the deaths of four Ghost Riders during the incident in Huanggang Village, and after returning, he got into a conflict with the current international Ghost Rider Zhao Kaiming. I heard Zhao Kaiming lost a leg to him and has beco a cripple, unable to reattach the severed limb.”
At this point, Wang Xiaoqiang knocked on the table and said, “I now have enough evidence to assert that this Yang Jian has disrupted the peace of Dachang City. His reckless behavior is comparable to a supernatural event, and what’s worse, it’s an uncontrollable and expanding threat.”
“Therefore, as the chairman of the club, I propose the elimination of Yang Jian. All in favor, and all opposed, please speak.”
Upon uttering these words, the dozen or so people present fell silent.
Most of these individuals were not Ghost Riders; they had joined the Xiaoqiang Entertainnt Club rely for business and to make money.
Hence, it didn’t matter who they dealt with, as long as the money was right.
“I’ve heard about Yang Jian. He’s very capable, surviving several supernatural events, even resolving the Huanggang Village incident. Such a person is certainly not as simple as he seems. Without necessary conflict or disputes, I disagree with provoking a clash with a Ghost Rider. The real threat is the increasing supernatural incidents, not so individual- personal grudges.”
A middle-aged man at the table spoke out.
Wang Xiaoqiang’s expression darkened, “President Ma, are you suggesting it doesn’t matter if the club is destroyed by this Yang Jian?”
The middle-aged man, known as President Ma, took a drag on his cigarette and said, “I funded the club without reservation because I wanted so assurance for my family and my company. In other words, I was buying insurance from the club with money. Indeed, the club has perford well by resolving several supernatural incidents and safeguarding so shareholders’ safety.”
“It would be good if this could continue, but rules are rules. You may be the chairman of the club, but using the club’s power to kill another Ghost Rider without reason clearly goes against the original purpose of the club’s establishnt.”
“I’m not aware of what happened with the Huanggang Village incident, nor do I want to know. Nonetheless, I oppose this matter.”
“President Ma, your words are sowhat improper. The club’s substantial loss is also our loss. Yang Jian is indeed a threat. He neither joins our club nor the international Ghost Riders, trying to play both sides, going whichever way the wind blows. What’s the use in keeping soone like that? Should we still yield to such a person if conflicts of interest arise in the future?” another person at the eting said.
President Ma glanced over and responded, “Ghosts don’t take revenge on humans of their own accord; if they can’t overco sothing, they flee—humans, on the other hand, are different. Can you afford the consequences of a Ghost Rider’s retaliation? Attacking soone for no reason will lead to vengeance.”
“There’s nothing to debate; let’s all show our stance. Yang Jian has indeed caused the deaths of five club Ghost Riders, leading to substantial losses. Now the club is short-staffed. To kill or to keep, give an opinion. Raise your hand if you agree with President Wang’s proposal,” another person suggested.
The people around the table looked at each other for a few monts and then began to raise their hands one after another.
Of the dozen or so people, more than ninety percent raised their hands.
President Ma hesitated for a mont but eventually raised his hand as well.
“Very good,”
Wang Xiaoqiang revealed a hint of a smile at the corners of his mouth, “Since everyone agrees, I’ll put it into action in the shortest ti possible. Within no more than ten days, there will no longer be such a person in Dachang City.”
“President Wang, how much is Xiaoqiang Entertainnt Club willing to pay to deal with Yang Jian? If the price is right, my company wouldn’t mind taking on this job,”
a bald brute said with a grin, his eyes glinting with greed and madness.
Wang Xiaoqiang replied, “You’re not up to it, lack the ability, don’t forget, Hao Shaowen t his end at his hands. To deal with Yang Jian, we need to use so special thods. I will take care of this. Just wait for the news.”
“Thump, thump, thump~!”
At that mont, a knocking sounded from outside the eting room.
“Who is it? Co in.”
The next mont, Yang Jian entered from outside.
Upon his arrival,
everyone in the eting room turned to look at him in unison, their eyes widening in apparent shock.
This situation—weren’t they just discussing whether this Yang Jian was alive or dead? How co he has appeared at their doorstep now?
“Yang Jian?” Wang Xiaoqiang was also stunned.
He thought a mber of another entertainnt club had co, never imagining it would be Yang Jian.
Had he heard the content of their eting just now?
Thinking this, Wang Xiaoqiang couldn’t help but tense up. If at this mont Yang Jian caught them unawares, then the club was truly dood.
“Why are you all looking at like that? Have I grown handsor recently? Or is it that you guys are conspiring sothing secretive behind my back?”
Yang Jian, squinting, walked in: “Wang Xiaoqiang, president Wang, long ti no see. I hope my arrival hasn’t disturbed president Wang.”
Wang Xiaoqiang collected himself, “Yang Jian, what are you doing here? You’re not from the club, and you’re not welco here.”
Judging by the situation, he must have just arrived, not having heard the content of the previous eting.
“No one welcos a ghost, but when a ghost needs to appear, it appears, right?” said Yang Jian.
“Hmm, my photo is still on the projector, and my docunts are on the table. What, did I guess it right? You’re scheming against behind my back?”
“Rustle~!”
At these words, the others could no longer hold back.
At least five or six people stood up simultaneously, each drawing a handgun aid at Yang Jian.
“We were just discussing how to get rid of you, and you didn’t wait to be invited before showing up, delivering yourself to our doorstep. Great. Since you ca today, don’t think about leaving. President Wang, you don’t need to think of any strategy or counterasures. One billion, and I’ll take care of him for you,” said the bald brute fiercely.
“A high school senior, how formidable can he be? Shot and with a shattered head, he’ll still die. But after his death, president Wang, you’ll have to take care of the cleanup. Don’t let the ghost inside him cause any trouble.”
“Lei Hu wants one billion, I only want eighty million, president Wang. You should consider it.”
“Damn, are you stealing business from ?” the bald brute nad Lei Hu cursed.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaoqiang had no choice but to drop the pretense and said straightforwardly, “If you can deal with him, I’ll give each of you one billion.”
“President Wang is decisive; let’s go with that,” the others displayed expressions of excitent.
“Wait, wait a minute, just hold on,”
Yang Jian waved his hand to signal everyone to pause, “So, what’s the deal here? Have you got all figured out? Already thought about how to split the money?”
