Ping'an Hotel below, Wan Delu had already prepared the car.
As Yang Jian and he were walking down the stairs, they encountered Zhang Lei, Wang Jiang, and Huang Ziya, who appeared to be answering questions from so headquarters staff, apparently investigating sothing.
"Yang Jian, didn't you go to the headquarters for a eting? Why are you back so soon, and where are you headed now?" Zhang Lei greeted.
"Just going out for a al, what's up with you guys gathering here? Is there sothing going on?" Yang Jian walked over and asked at the sa ti.
Wang Jiang said, "There is sothing rather unusual; we heard that Zhang Hui died. That's why soone from headquarters just ca over to inquire about it, to see if they can pick up any clues."
Zhang Hui?
Yang Jian thought for a mont and asked, "Who is he?"
"You really have a short mory for important people. He's one of the ghost summoners who survived with us from the training base." Zhang Lei replied, "I looked at his file before, so I'm sowhat familiar with him."
"Oh, him. But I didn't check his file." Yang Jian said, "He's dead? What on earth happened?"
"I don't know either, I just received the news a mont ago. They said he died this morning, around six o'clock, but the body was discovered two hours ago. Now, the area has been taken over by Chen Yi. You know Chen Yi, right? One of the three people in charge of J City." Zhang Lei said.
Yang Jian responded, "I t this Chen Yi at the airport when I ca to J City before, but this matter does indeed seem a bit unusual. The death of a ghost summoner at this critical ti could spell trouble. But wasn't Zhang Hui also staying at Ping'an Hotel? I didn't notice anything when I ca down."
"He didn't die at Ping'an Hotel. He died in a small hotel outside." Huang Ziya looked at Yang Jian and said, "A few days ago, Zhang Hui suddenly left Ping'an Hotel in a hurry for so reason, and he hasn't co back since then, until the news of his death ca."
"Chen Yi thinks that this matter is connected, possibly a clue, so he had soone co over to ask us about it."
Yang Jian squinted his eyes, "Does Chen Yi suspect foul play?"
"Currently, the possibility is not ruled out. After all, only he died in this incident, and there was no paranormal activity at the scene, and Chen Yi also successfully dealt with the ghost in his body." Zhang Lei mused, "No ghostly resurrection, no paranormal events, yet Zhang Hui died under mysterious circumstances. Under such conditions, the likelihood of murder is very high."
"But who would dare to assassinate a ghost summoner in J City?" Yang Jian frowned slightly.
He was more concerned upon hearing this, considering that the deceased Zhang Hui had spent so ti with them.
Better safe than sorry. If it was an unknown paranormal event, they could also be implicated or even face the sa danger.
"Who knows? I haven't been in J City for long and am not familiar with the situation here. Maybe he offended soone, or perhaps so evil forces are at play. The ghost summoner's community is large and chaotic, and with all the dealings with the supernatural, anything could happen." Zhang Lei shook his head and said.
Hearing this, Yang Jian felt it made sense, "Well, you guys take your ti with the inquiry. I'm heading out."
Without paying further attention to Zhang Hui's death, he had plenty of his own matters to deal with; he couldn't be concerned with the life and death of others.
"President Wan, let's go."
Wan Delu stood at a distance, not daring to get involved in such conversations. Seeing Yang Jian approach, he imdiately followed.
A luxury sedan was already parked at the entrance.
Wan Delu hurriedly stepped forward and opened the car door, smiling, "Brother Tui, take the back seat; I'll sit in front."
Yang Jian was sowhat puzzled, but as he was about to get into the car, he saw a sexy long-legged beauty sitting in the back seat. With glamorous makeup and a smile on her face, she greeted him in a sweet voice, "Good day, President Yang."
He glanced at the beautiful woman, especially focusing on her face for a mont.
"Who is she? She seems sowhat familiar... As if I've seen her in so advertisent, or maybe in a movie."
Yang Jian tried to recall, but couldn't co up with anything. After all, there's a difference between watching ads or movies and seeing a real person, he simply felt she looked familiar.
Wan Delu smiled and only said, "Brother Tui, get in the car first. We can talk about anything once we're on the road."
Yang Jian wasn't foolish and of course understood this was arranged by Wan Delu, but for soone of his wealth, hiring one or two second or third-tier celebrities to keep company probably wasn't difficult.
Once they were in the car, and as the vehicle was driving, the long-legged beauty leaned over with a smile, initiating contact.
Yang Jian remained unmoved and simply said, "Actually, I'm not very interested in these matters. President Wan doesn't need to go to such lengths. Of course, my saying this doesn't an I'm a paragon of virtue or exceptionally upright, but rather that people like us aren't normal. If President Wang has a chance to et others in the future, he'll understand."
"Brother Tui is right, it was my oversight this ti," Wan Lude said with a laugh, his tone very polite.
Yang Jian thought for a mont and then added, "However, after today's events are over, President Wan should leave J City as soon as possible."
"Leave J City?" Wan Delu was taken aback for a mont. "Is there sothing happening?"
"Nothing in particular, just a piece of advice. If you have reasons to stay, it's not a big deal. Anyway, I feel that J City might not be very peaceful in the near future," Yang Jian said.
The Ghost Envoy incident, the Ghost Painting event—these were two S-level supernatural events that were about to collide on the outskirts of the city. If things got out of control, the consequences could be unimaginably severe.
Wan Delu's heart quivered when he heard this, then he said, "After leaving J City, where should I go? Brother Tui, if you don't mind, please give so guidance."
"As things stand, Dachang City isn't bad," Yang Jian suggested.
"After the last incident, didn't all the people from Dachang City start moving out? Now there is hardly anyone left in Dachang City," Wan Lude said, sowhat astonished. "Wouldn't it be bad to go there now?"
"It's precisely because sothing happened there that the likelihood of it happening again is very low, at least it's much better than other places," Yang Jian calmly said. "Moreover, I live in Dachang City. Would I deceive you?"
"Understood, understood, thank you for the advice, Brother Tui," Wan Delu instantly beca a bit excited.
He already knew that J City was no longer safe, other cities were unsafe as well, and so were places abroad. Now, Dachang City seed like a city with a high safety index, especially since this was coming from Yang Jian himself, which was trustworthy.
As a businessman, one should seize any opportunity that cos their way.
And this was an opportunity. Wan Delu planned to start relocating after returning, moving the company headquarters as well as family and relatives to Dachang City.
Given his financial resources, this was not a problem at all.
At this mont, the beautiful woman accompanying them and the driver both silently took note of these words in their minds.
This was a conversation among the top echelons of society, especially with Yang Jian, a mysterious figure whom even the presidents of listed companies treated with utmost respect. The information revealed by such a person was astonishing insider knowledge with foresight.
"President Yang, would you like a drink? Would you like to join you for one?"
The beauty by his side radiated enthusiasm, picked up a bottle of expensive red wine, and smiled ingratiatingly.
