Chapter 1146 - 1112 Trap

“Work, work, it’s been so long since I went to work. People at the company probably almost forgot about me.”

The next day, Jiang Yan was full of spirit, even a bit excited.

After finishing the construction work on her new home and safe house back in her hometown, she was impatient to resume her previous working life. After all, it was too boring in her hometown; it’s livelier in the city.

Yang Jian was driving, and as usual, he didn’t go straight to the company but drove around the district of Dachang City.

As the person in charge, he had to pay attention to the safety of Dachang City.

However, with Li Yang, Tong Qian, and Huang Ziya in Dachang City, the safety was certainly assured. Yang Jian wasn’t too worried, it was just his habit to drive around.

Very soon.

The car stopped at the company entrance.

Yang Jian, Jiang Yan, and Zhang Liqin got out of the car.

As soon as they got out, he saw a lot of people gathered at the company’s entrance, and among them were several familiar faces.

“It’s President Yang’s car.”

“President Yang is finally back, we thought today again we might not catch him.”

“It’s really Yang Jian.”

His appearance drew everyone’s attention. It seemed something had happened in the company during the few days he was away on a business trip, as the people who came were all company employees, not his teammates, so it should have nothing to do with a supernatural incident.

“What happened, why are you all waiting for me at the entrance?” Yang Jian casually glanced around and asked directly.

“Zhang Liqin, do you know what’s going on?”

Zhang Liqin shook her head: “I don’t know either. I haven’t been in the company these days, I’ve been at home accompanying my aunt.”

Jiang Yan also hurriedly said: “Don’t look at me, I just got back home, I don’t know anything.”

“Yang Jian, there’s a problem with the company.” At this moment, a middle-aged man in a suit squeezed out of the crowd, his face grave and filled with concern.

His name was Wang Bin, the father of Wang Shanshan, and currently the general manager of Yang Jian’s company. Usually, the company’s operations depended entirely on him.

“A non-profit, almost charitable company can also have problems?” Yang Jian asked.

Wang Bin looked around, then lowered his voice: “This situation is a bit embarrassing to talk about, I think it should be discussed back in the office.”

“Alright, let’s discuss it in the office then.” Yang Jian nodded.

“Please make way.” Zhang Liqin immediately signaled for everyone to step aside and not block Yang Jian’s path.

Yang Jian strode forward, and no one really dared to stand in his way. They only symbolically surrounded him for a moment then quickly dispersed, for blocking others might just get you chased away, but blocking Yang Jian might very well cost your life.

Soon after.

He led a group into the company, took the private elevator to the office.

“Have a seat.”

Yang Jian gestured then said: “Pour them a cup of coffee each.”

Zhang Liqin nodded and took Jiang Yan to the bar.

The people who came to the office weren’t many, just a few key members of the company, including Zhang Wei’s father, Zhang Xiangu.

However, Zhang Xiangu didn’t look well today. His face was haggard, as if he hadn’t slept for several days. He seemed to be under a lot of pressure, as if he was troubled by something.

“Actually, the company’s matters don’t need to involve me. I’m not very interested in the company’s operations. If it’s a supernatural incident, I could help out.” Yang Jian sat down and directly stated his position.

Wang Bin was silent for a moment then said, “Actually, strictly speaking, it’s not really a company matter, but a personal issue.”

“A personal issue? What specifically?” Yang Jian asked.

“This has to start from a few days ago… The cause of the matter was a business exchange. President Zhang and I, along with a few high-level executives of the company, attended that exchange meeting.” Wang Bin hesitated for a moment and then recounted everything that happened a few days ago.

The matter was not complicated.

It was just that several executives, shareholders of Yang Jian’s company, attended a business gathering in the circle.

Such a business gathering was originally a very normal matter, but afterward, Wang Bin and Zhang Xiangu met a broker named Qian Xin. This Qian Xin introduced an investor to Wang Bin and Zhang Xiangu, saying there was a large sum of money that intended to be invested in Yang Jian’s company.

Afterward, they arranged to meet in Da’ao City.

After meeting, the investor took Wang Bin and Zhang Xiangu to visit his company and industries, and finally, he warmly invited them to the city’s famous casino for some leisure.

Hearing this, Yang Jian said: “So, did you lose?”

“Yes, and the amount was large,” Zhang Xiangu said.

“So you lost your shirts?”

Yang Jian laughed: “Were you just high, or were you set up?”

“It should have been a set-up,” Wang Bin said seriously: “At that time, both President Zhang and I were in an unusual emotional state, seemingly a bit out of control, and in an irrational state.”

“Entering someone else’s territory, whether you lose or get set up, the result is the same,” Yang Jian said. “You’ve lost so badly that even the company is affected. It seems a bit unusual. But since this is illegal, you don’t need to worry too much; they won’t dare to come and collect the debt.”

“If we just leave it like this, the damage will be huge,” Zhang Xiangu raised his head and said, “At the very least, I’ll go bankrupt. I hope you can step in and help me out.”

Yang Jian replied, “You lost the money to someone else. I can’t just step in and take it back, or go in myself to win it back for you, can I?”

As he spoke, he shook his head and laughed, “I don’t do such foolish things. You went to gamble, which means you accepted the rules set by others. You’ve lost at the first step; how can you win later? I’m the one who sets the rules for others to follow, so I won’t participate in gambling with those who set you up.”

“Robbing won’t work, and gambling is wrong too. Since this doesn’t involve any supernatural events, if I forcibly intervene, the meaning would be different, and people could die.”

“It’s just some money. Lost it, so be it. Just learn from this lesson. I’ll call the person in charge of Da’ao City later, and that’ll be the end of it.”

He dealt with it formally and didn’t involve himself in the matter because of personal connections.

This approach by Yang Jian put Zhang Xiangu and Wang Bin in a difficult spot, making them frown.

The atmosphere in the conference room was a bit stiff.

“Here, have a cup of coffee,” Zhang Liqin handed them coffee at this moment.

But neither of them was in the mood to drink.

Yang Jian was decisive and immediately instructed, “Jiang Yan, go downstairs and get Liu Xiaoyu, ask him to connect me with the person in charge of Da’ao City.”

“Alright, I’ll go find Liu Xiaoyu right away,” Jiang Yan left the office immediately.

Soon, Liu Xiaoyu arrived and handed a phone to Yang Jian: “I have contacted the operator for the person in charge of Da’ao City. You can connect anytime.”

“Dial,” Yang Jian waved his hand.

Liu Xiaoyu wasted no time and instructed the operator at headquarters to connect.

Soon the call was connected.

“Hello, Captain Yang. I’m Lok Sheng, the person in charge of Da’ao City. I wonder what advice Captain Yang has for me,”

A voice with a heavy accent came from the other end, sounding somewhat hoarse and deep, as if his throat wasn’t in good health.

“This is Yang Jian. Here’s the situation: some of my company’s people went to your city a few days ago and got into some trouble. I hope this matter can end here, and I hope you can help handle it,” Yang Jian said.

“No problem, it’s no issue. I can handle that for you,” the person in charge of Da’ao City agreed without hesitation.

Yang Jian replied, “Good, I owe you one. Reach out to me in the future if you need anything.”

“Captain Yang, you’re being too kind. Please consider this relationship in the future too,” Lok Sheng chuckled dryly, sounding very courteous.

After putting the phone down, Yang Jian casually took the Coke handed by Zhang Liqin and continued, “Just manage the company well in the future; such things are best avoided again.”

“Understood,” Wang Bin and Zhang Xiangu nodded.

Although they suffered a big loss, at least they didn’t go bankrupt, which was considered a small fortune.

However, not long after the call ended, the phone rang again.

“It’s the person in charge of Da’ao City, Lok Sheng,” Liu Xiaoyu handed the phone to Yang Jian, “It’s probably for you.”

Yang Jian frowned slightly and answered the phone: “This is Yang Jian.”

“Captain Yang, I’m really sorry. I can’t help you with this matter. The amount your people owe is quite large. I think you’d better pay the money first before we discuss further. After all, we’re all respectable people; it’s not good to be a deadbeat,” Lok Sheng said stiffly, losing the previous politeness.

“How much do they owe?” Yang Jian said expressionlessly.

“Not much, just a Shangtong Tower. I believe Captain Yang isn’t lacking such a building. How about using it to offset the debt?” Lok Sheng replied.

“You want my Shangtong Tower?” Yang Jian responded calmly, “No problem, I’ll come tomorrow and sign the transfer documents with you.”

“Captain Yang, please don’t be mad. A bet is a bet. We should be fair in our dealings. As a person in charge, I’m not in a position to play favorites,” Lok Sheng chuckled dryly.

Yang Jian said, “I see, let’s handle it officially then.”

After saying this, he immediately hung up the phone.

Everyone else in the office listened to the brief conversation between the two and was momentarily stunned, then all looked at Yang Jian in astonishment.

They hadn’t expected the other party to refuse Yang Jian’s proposal, not giving him face.

When had Ghost-eye Yang Jian been unable to handle even a city official?

Liu Xiaoyu also felt surprised but was simultaneously curious about what was going on in that responsible person’s head. Did he really want to seize Yang Jian’s building? Wasn’t that courting death?

“They were targeting me; indeed, you fell into the trap,”

Yang Jian took a sip of his Coke and slowly said, “Since they want to play, I’ll play along with them. Hope they can afford to lose.”

“So, what do you plan to do?” Wang Bin asked.

“It’s simple, go on a trip in a few days and play with them again,” Yang Jian replied casually, “It’s nothing serious, just something to pass the time. By the way, do you want to travel?”

After saying this, he looked at Zhang Liqin and Jiang Yan.

“Of course, I want to,” Jiang Yan immediately replied with a mischievous laugh.
