Chapter 67: Chapter 67 You’re overthinking it.
“`
Each person faced with the sa situation has different choices.
Jiang Yan chose not to distance herself from Yang Jian, even after learning about his identity as a ghost tar, but instead, she decided to bet her chips on him.
Only those who have been through hell understand the beauty of the human world.
Only those who have encountered fierce ghosts realize the happiness of being alive.
In this world with no sense of security, even if Yang Jian turned into an Evil Ghost, Jiang Yan was willing to seek shelter.
“It went up again, how did you know Gold would continue to rise? I’ve been following the gold prices too, but I think it has peaked and is likely to fall next. Indeed, after a brief rapid rise, the trend slowed and started to decline. Entering with ten million at this ti is very risky.”
Jiang Yan, sitting in front of the computer in a thin nightgown, seemingly indifferent to the occasional slips of “spring scenery” she showed, watched the gold price trends on her laptop with excitent.
Today, when the market opened, the price of Gold first fell, then surged upward.
Yang Jian was incredibly lucky to have invested ten million at that ti.
“I don’t understand the stock market. I just know that the price of Gold will definitely keep rising, and I just want to make so pocket money,” said Yang Jian.
Jiang Yan asked with so excitent, “Do you have insider information?”
“No,” Yang Jian said, “it’s all guesswork.”
Of course, his moves weren’t solely based on guesses, but rather on the fact that Gold is no longer just a currency; it’s a national strategic resource, a necessity, a consumable.
A price hike was inevitable.
When Jiang Yan heard this, she beca even more convinced that Yang Jian knew sothing others didn’t. Otherwise, how could he guess so accurately?
After all, he was a ghost tar, soone whom Captain Liu would salute upon eting, not just a simple security guard.
Thinking this, she couldn’t help but follow Yang Jian’s lead in speculating on Gold, throwing her several hundred thousand in savings into the mix and choosing the option with the highest risk and reward: gold leverage. She aid to earn the most with the least amount of capital.
Of course, the risk was also significant.
“Since you’re sure Gold will rise, I plan to make a big profit through the riskiest type of trade, and I’ve also invested money. If we lose it, you can’t bla ,” Jiang Yan said.
“Do as you please, as long as you buy Gold, I don’t care about the rest,” Yang Jian said, trusting his judgnt.
“Got it, leave it to ,” Jiang Yan said, beginning to get excited.
She didn’t pay attention to how she would speculate.
Yang Jian spent most of his free ti browsing the international ghost tar website.
That special website was constructed by various countries and allowed only international ghost tars to access it.
Not for any other reason, but to learn a bit more about related knowledge.
However, Yang Jian did not see any news about the fierce ghost that passed by yesterday on the website.
“Such a big incident couldn’t have gone unnoticed by the countries… It seems they are intentionally hiding it and don’t want to make a big deal out of it.”
He shook his head, feeling so disappointnt.
The cooperation between countries was not tight. No wonder international ghost tars were also divided into regions.
Seemingly united, they were in fact each looking out for themselves.
In the past three days, Yang Jian rarely left the house, staying inside Jiang Yan’s apartnt.
Jiang Yan was very diligent. According to her, the initial ten million had already turned into over twenty million. Now, watching those figures every day made her so excited she could hardly sleep, as if the money were her own.
But this morning, Yang Jian received a phone call.
It was from Zhang Wei, saying that sothing serious had co up and he needed to see Yang Jian to set up a eting.
Thinking it over, Yang Jian felt it was better to go and check it out.
“I need to step out for a bit.”
“Where are you going?”
“`
“Walk around the neighborhood,” Yang Jian said.
Jiang Yan asked anxiously, “So, will you co back tonight?”
“Of course.”
Having said that, Yang Jian left the house.
Driving through the noisy city, it was hard to imagine that supernatural incidents happened frequently around the world, and Dachang City had experienced several. But the vast majority of people seed to be oblivious, going about their daily lives without any impact on their own.
“Sotis, ignorance is bliss.”
Yang Jian rolled down the car window, watching the comings and goings on the sidewalk, and sighed to himself.
Soon, he arrived at the pedestrian street he had agreed to et Zhang Wei at.
Zhang Wei had arrived early, now standing in the crowd, seemingly having an argunt with soone—it looked like it was escalating into a quarrel.
“I’m not standing here arguing with you to prove I’m better than anyone else, nor to show off how tough I am,” Zhang Wei pointed to the ground, his tone firm and powerful, “but to let everyone here know, whatever I’ve lost, I must take back with my own hands…”
“Zhang Wei, what are you yelling about? Why did you call over early in the morning? What’s the matter?” Yang Jian called out.
Hearing soone shouting for him, Zhang Wei looked up, saw Yang Jian, and imdiately smiled with relief, “Yang Jian, I’m over here. Excuse , everyone, please make way. Let’s put today’s matter aside for now.”
He then pointed at soone and said, “It’s not that I’m afraid of you, or trying to escape. It’s just that I don’t want my friend to see my cruel side. Consider yourself lucky today.”
“Who are you fighting with? It looked like it was about to turn physical. What happened?” Yang Jian asked.
Zhang Wei snorted, “So middle school kid had a terrible attitude, daring to cut in front of in the ice cream line. I was just teaching him what adult ruthlessness is all about.”
“…”
“Forget it, let’s not talk about it. Co on, let’s sit down in that café over there. I actually have sothing to discuss with you,” Zhang Wei said.
After the two sat down in the café.
“What have you been up to lately? Are you still working at that mall? I went there yesterday. I heard there was a murder case, and it’s completely sealed off now. The boss is called Tang’an, right?” Zhang Wei asked.
“How do you know so much about it?” Yang Jian asked, surprised.
“That mall was built by my dad. I asked him about it before. Co on, tell straight—isn’t that place haunted?” Zhang Wei said.
“You guessed right; it was indeed haunted,” Yang Jian said.
“Damn, I knew it! Places that suddenly get locked down and put under martial law are almost always haunted. The school was like that, that residential area was like that, and now the mall is the sa… I’m feeling like this Earth is no longer fit to live on. If there was a chance to migrate to Mars, I’d sign up first,” Zhang Wei said, shivering in shock.
“However, there’s no problem now. The situation there has been settled. By the way, what did you want to talk to about?” Yang Jian asked.
“Actually, I wanted to ask you about sothing,” Zhang Wei said.
“What is it?” Yang Jian said.
Zhang Wei furrowed his brows deeply, a serious expression on his face, and said in a low voice, “Last night, while I was playing ‘Chick Dinner’ on the computer, a supernatural event occurred. I think it might be haunted, possibly linked to so horrible curse similar to those stories on your forum.”
“Can you be more specific?” Yang Jian asked.
“It must have been the final circle. I survived until the end… The top-right corner showed that there was no one left, but suddenly I died mysteriously, and the screen showed ‘Chicken Dinner Failed.’
“If it happened just once, it could be explained away, but it happened three tis in a row. Do you think there might be a ghost playing the ga? I got so scared I couldn’t sleep all night, and now I can hardly keep my eyes open, which is why I wanted to buy so ice cream for a pick--up,” Zhang Wei asked earnestly.
Yang Jian said seriously, “I don’t think you’ve encountered a ghost, but instead, you’ve co across…a cheat.”
“No way,”
Zhang Wei looked at Yang Jian in surprise, “Is it really a cheat? Could it possibly be a ghost?”
“You’re overthinking it. There’s absolutely no chance. It was a cheat; you got killed by the cheat three tis,” Yang Jian said.
“So that’s it… I thought I had run into a ghost,” Zhang Wei fell into deep silence.
