Chapter 168: Chapter 168 Reinforcements

“Young brother, I can’t thank you enough; you really are our lifesaver. I was wrong about the incident before, and here I am apologizing to you. I hope you won’t take it to heart. If we meet again, I’ll definitely treat you to a meal,”

President Qin stood at the entrance of the residential complex, holding Yang Jian’s hands with tears of gratitude.

“I even doubted you before, I feel so ashamed. This is my personal compensation to you; I hope you will accept it with a smile. The password is written on the card.”

President Qian was even more direct; he stuffed a card into Yang Jian’s pocket to express his thanks.

After escaping death, these two businessmen had forgotten their business losses and were filled with only joy and gratitude.

Yang Jian, what a master.

This was the only thought in their minds.

Watching them showing their gratitude, Yang Jian had an odd look on his face.

Fortunately, they did not know the truth. If they had, they would probably be jumping up to chase him with knives right now.

After much fuss, the two presidents left their business cards. Unable to withstand such enthusiastic thanks, Yang Jian also left his phone number, and finally watched them leave.

“Being kept in the dark is just fine.” Yang Jian looked at the card in his pocket.

It must contain at least a few million.

Generosity is to be expected from such bosses.

He thought to himself.

Feeling pleased, he returned to the sales office.

“It’s all taken care of.” Yang Jian placed the contract on the table, “Now, this residential complex entirely belongs to you, Uncle Zhang.”

Zhang Xiangu, who was waiting for a response at the sales office, was thrilled to see this. He had thought achieving such a feat would be impossible, yet Yang Jian had easily managed to obtain the transfer contract.

“I’ll draft a new transfer contract immediately, transferring some of the properties to your name,” said Zhang Xiangu.

Yang Jian shook his head with a smile, “Uncle Zhang knows more about business than I do. I’m only interested in the final profits. Transferring the properties to my name is useless, as I couldn’t sit here and sell them. So, let’s not bother with that. Just leave me a few buildings, a couple of villas, and keep the rest in your hands.”

“That’s not a problem. The profit sharing will be the same,” Zhang Xiangu nodded.

“However, could you pay me in gold for the money I’ve earned?” Yang Jian asked.

Zhang Xiangu chuckled, “You seem quite interested in gold. The price has indeed risen sharply recently. Converting the money to gold might be a losing proposition. If the gold price falls, you could suffer a heavy loss.”

“It’s alright, no matter how much money I have, it’s of no use to me. Gold is very important to me,”

Yang Jian said, “I also think the price of gold will continue to rise. Uncle Zhang, you might also consider converting your surplus funds into gold. It won’t be a loss in the future.”

“I’m a businessman. My capital must be put into circulation. Converting it to gold and just letting it sit there is the worst investment,” Zhang Xiangu refused, shaking his head.

Seeing this, Yang Jian didn’t say much more. After all, Zhang Xiangu’s estate was vast; not buying gold was no big deal, just a slightly smaller profit.

“Now that the contract matter is settled, what about Zhang Wei’s situation? How are you going to handle it, Brother Tui?” Zhang Xiangu changed his address to a more affectionate one, calling Yang Jian Brother Tui.

“Dad, do you even remember me? I thought I might be adopted, considering you’ve been discussing business all afternoon without a thought for my current predicament. Right now, I’m still haunted by ghosts. I could die at any moment; are you hoping that once I’m gone, you could have another child with Auntie Huang?”

Zhang Wei put down his phone and said indignantly.

“What are you thinking? How could I possibly neglect you?” Zhang Xiangu coughed awkwardly.

He had indeed forgotten because he was too busy.

“It’s getting a bit late now, and I need to investigate the entire complex to find the source of the ghost’s appearance. I’m afraid there isn’t enough time for that now. Let’s start tomorrow. In the meantime, just keep Zhang Wei away from any mirrors and reflective objects, and there should be no danger. The same goes for everyone else,” Yang Jian said.

“Are you sure nothing will happen?” Zhang Xiangu asked.

“Nothing has happened for over a week, and nothing will definitely happen today either. Don’t panic, I will handle this. After all, I still plan to live here,” Yang Jian said.

“Right, deduct the fifty million for buying the sales office from my profit. Today, I also hope Uncle Zhang can arrange to move the sales staff and some items out of here, as this will be my home from now on.”

Zhang Xiangu smiled and said, “That’s no problem. Although the price is a bit high, the sales office is indeed a good find. A lot of effort was put into the decoration. You might not be too familiar with the layout of the sales office since it’s your first visit, so let me briefly introduce it to you. The first floor of the sales office is the hall, previously where the staff worked. Once the staff moves out, you can use it as a living room. The second floor is a rest area with a gym, a billiards room, and a swimming pool. The third floor has a lounge, tea seating, and a small bar. My office and another rest area are on the fourth floor. The fifth floor is currently empty, but you can arrange it as you wish.”

“Considering that one would stay on the construction site for a long time, the sales office was equipped with everything necessary. You can just move in and live. It’s just that there are few rooms: five guest rooms on the fourth floor and my master bedroom.”

He enthusiastically explained the setup to Yang Jian.

“These rooms are quite sufficient,” Yang Jian nodded. “But I feel rather bad accepting this from Uncle Zhang since he seems rather attached to it.”

The meticulous setup clearly indicated Zhang Xiangu’s great affection for it.

“What does that matter? You’ve made such a big deal for me, a sales office is nothing. Besides, you’re paying for it. With so many houses in the complex, it’s a matter of minutes for me to set up a new sales office. But, I would like you to take special care of Zhang Wei’s issue,” Zhang Xiangu said with an air of gravitas, seeming unconcerned.

Yang Jian replied, “Rest assured, Uncle Zhang, I will resolve Zhang Wei’s issue.”

“However, I have some matters to attend to in the city and need to make a trip there. Have Zhang Wei wait for me here tomorrow, and we can take action then.”

“Alright, no problem. I’ll leave it to you, Brother Tui,” Zhang Xiangu said.

“Uncle Zhang, you’re the one who has worked hard,” Yang Jian responded.

Yang Jian smiled, and then glanced at Zhang Wei: “Be careful.”

Zhang Wei said, “Careful of what? I’m not planning on leaving; I’ll stay here tonight. Or maybe I should wait for your return and we can share a bed?”

“…You’d be better off dead. Although I can’t be sure what unexpected changes the ghost might undergo if it succeeds, I think you are the root of the problem, so the best-case scenario is that you don’t get messed with by that ghost,” Yang Jian said.

“Okay, I understand,” Zhang Wei responded earnestly, nodding his head.

“Then I’m off.”

Yang Jian didn’t linger and drove out of the complex, heading back to the city.

He still had to move his gold from Jiang Yan’s apartment and also needed to check how far the supernatural event at the Rose Bar had escalated.

Even if he didn’t get involved, it was still necessary to stay informed.

Driving the Benz rapidly on the highway, it didn’t take long before he entered the city. At that moment, Yang Jian saw a helicopter circling above Dachang City, ready to provide assistance at any time.

“A helicopter? Could it be that Zhao Kaiming has called for additional ghost controllers from other places for support?” Yang Jian wondered, furrowing his brows.

It was highly likely, as there was no other explanation.

With Zhao Kaiming caught up in the Ghost Door Knocker case and having refused assistance, Zhao Kaiming’s only option was to call for reinforcements from elsewhere.

And the fastest means of support would naturally be a helicopter.

“They’re doomed if they come. If I, who command two ghosts, dare not face the Door Knocking Ghost, other ghost controllers won’t fare any better,” Yang Jian thought, withdrawing his gaze and steering the wheel, avoiding the direction of the circling helicopter.

He did not want to get involved.

Moreover, he would prefer Zhao Kaiming to die in this incident over the deaths of others.
