Chapter 1158 - 1124: Room Number 707

“That Yang Jian is a madman, and you actually expect me to PR a madman? I noticed his eyes just now; they no longer held the emotions of a living person.”

He Yuelian rubbed the bruise on her neck and looked coldly at Boss He, feeling extremely upset. She had never faced such humiliation in her life.

Just now, she was almost strangled to death by Yang Jian, and no one was there to save her.

“He seems very interested in your appearance,” Zheng Yijing spoke first.

He Yuelian said, “Everyone is interested in my appearance.”

“No, you might not have heard what Yang Jian said just now. He said, you have a face that shouldn’t exist. This face shouldn’t belong to a living person. Think carefully about his words, and recall Yang Jian’s reaction when he first saw you. It wasn’t amazement or surprise, but direct action.”

Zheng Yijing said, “A top figure in the supernatural circle wouldn’t attack an ordinary person without reason, so I can conclude that Yang Jian has seen you before, or rather someone who looks exactly like you, and that person is very dangerous, possibly even Yang Jian’s enemy.”

“This is the only explanation for why he would act the moment he saw you—he wanted to strike first and eliminate you.”

He Yuelian’s eyes flickered, and being a smart person, she immediately understood: “So after taking action, he realized I’m not that person, which is why Yang Jian didn’t kill me. He left me alive to figure out the reason behind it?”

“Yes, exactly.” Zheng Yijing replied.

“Even if there are two people in this world who look similar, or even very close, someone as outstanding as Yuelian—it’s almost impossible for someone identical to her to exist in this world. Even if such a person does exist, what are the odds that Yang Jian would run into them?”

Boss He had a cold expression as well, his mood was also terrible because his life was hanging in the balance, and this feeling was horrible.

Zheng Yijing said, “In the supernatural circle, anything is possible. Maybe it’s not a coincidence for Yang Jian, but a coincidence for Miss He.”

“What do you mean?” He Yuelian pressed, “Do you think there’s something wrong with me?”

Zheng Yijing said, “Yang Jian could have easily killed you in that situation, but he didn’t. Such restraint is unlike him. People in the supernatural circle are extremely cautious, eliminating any potential unexpected situations. Your appearance was an unexpected incident for Yang Jian; killing you would better fit his character and style, yet he didn’t.”

“The only explanation is that he discovered some clue about you. Boss He, you watched Miss He grow up. If there’s something wrong with her, you should know best. Did you have any contact with people from the supernatural circle in your earlier years? If so, please speak up. Keeping secrets at this time is like digging your own grave, and I won’t be able to save you then.”

After speaking, he looked at Boss He again.

Boss He did not hide anything and said directly, “Yuelian has no issues, but as for me…”

He hesitated for a moment and finally revealed a secret: “Everyone in Da’ao City knows I built my success from scratch, but no one knows that before I became wealthy, I met someone. I don’t know who that person was, just that after a few exchanges, they wanted to make a deal with me.”

“What kind of deal?” Zheng Yijing inquired.

Boss He said, “Rather than a deal, it was more like a message left behind. That person said they could make me rich for life, and in exchange, they required me to bear a daughter. One day, they would use my daughter to settle a debt.”

“So you intentionally had an illegitimate daughter to pay the debt?” Zheng Yijing squinted his eyes and asked.

Boss He said, “No, it wasn’t intentional; I just wasn’t lucky. My wife bore two sons, but Yuelian’s mother was the lucky one to have a daughter.”

But before he could finish speaking, He Yuelian came over and said coldly, “So, from start to finish, I was just a tool? A tool for you to pay your debt.”

Boss He was a bit angry and said, “Show some respect to me; I’ve never treated you as a tool.”

“Respect? Have you ever respected me? Now I understand, your education and indulgence were because you were afraid inside, afraid of that person reappearing, right?” Anger flared on He Yuelian’s beautiful face.

“He hasn’t reappeared; maybe he’s already dead. You don’t need to worry too much.”

Boss He said, “Plus, I don’t think my success from scratch is due to that person; maybe it was just a joke. After all, life has been normal all these years without any incidents.”

“Alright, let’s set aside your family’s private matters and the decades-old deal for now. We need to consider how to deal with Yang Jian now.”

Zheng Yijing said, “We don’t have much time. Yang Jian only gave us half an hour to make a decision.”

“Aren’t you planning to gamble with Yang Jian?” He Yuelian asked.

Boss He said, “That’s just a tactic Zheng Yijing is using to stall for time. Gambling with Yang Jian is a sure loss; we can’t outplay him.”

“Yang Jian knows I’m not sincere about gambling with him, but he’s overly confident, even arrogant. He believes we can’t escape and can be killed at any time, so he wants to see what we can do in this half-hour,” Zheng Yijing said slowly, touching his cold face.

“What Yang Jian cares about isn’t us; he’s concerned about whether anyone is fishing for him here in Da’ao City, trying to lure everyone out through us.”

Boss He’s face darkened slightly: “So, there’s really no second option. We have only one choice, and that is to do everything in our power to eliminate Yang Jian. Only then will this be over; if he doesn’t die, we eventually will.”

“That’s right, Boss He has finally figured it out. From the moment Yang Jian arrived in Da’ao City, the outcome was already determined.” Zheng Yijing said.

Boss He couldn’t help but snort: “Instead of kneeling and begging Yang Jian for mercy, we might as well fight back. Although he’s a ghost handler, he’s still human, and humans can die. I’m planning to team up with Lok Sheng, and with you all as well, we might have a fighting chance.”

He quickly did some calculations in his mind.

Paying a heavy price to plead for mercy is not as good as giving nothing at all. Taking this opportunity, it would be better to kill Yang Jian once and for all.

Once he’s dead, nothing else will matter.

Moreover, afterwards, the blame wouldn’t fall on me, since the actions are done by those in the supernatural circle and have nothing to do with me.

“Taking down Yang Jian? That’s a bit severe.”

Zheng Yijing shook his head and said, “Captain level figures can’t be treated as ordinary people, but since Lok Sheng intends to take action, it indicates he has a way to handle Yang Jian. We can go see him, but Boss He, you must think carefully, once this starts, there’s no turning back.”

“I’ve thought it through. This Yang Jian doesn’t want me to live well, so I’ll make sure he doesn’t die well. There’s no time to waste, let’s contact them now.” After Boss He finished speaking, he immediately turned and strode towards the VIP room where Lok Sheng was previously located.

Zheng Yijing’s expression shifted slightly, feeling uncertain in his heart.

He also wasn’t sure whether he should continue to get involved in this matter, but he could listen to Lok Sheng’s plan. If the chances of success were high, then it might be worth a try.

Soon.

The group arrived at the VIP room.

Inside the room, Lok Sheng and a few others were still there.

“Boss He, it seems you’ve made up your mind. Welcome.” Lok Sheng smiled, raised his glass slightly, and then looked at Zheng Yijing, Zhang Zhi, and the other two ghost handlers.

It seemed this was the extent of Boss He’s resources.

Boss He said, “I agree with your plan and am willing to cooperate with you. But I want to know specifically how you plan to kill Yang Jian? What’s the probability of us few killing a Captain level person?”

“Less than ten percent.” Lok Sheng shrugged and said, “To be exact, there’s not even a one percent chance; if we team up against Yang Jian, we’d be utterly wiped out.”

“Are you playing with me?” Boss He couldn’t help but get angry at this moment.

Lok Sheng said, “I’m not playing with you. Reality is this harsh. My abilities aren’t even ranked at headquarters. Yang Jian is a Captain at the headquarters, and among the top Captains. How much of a success rate do you think I should claim?”

“If you put it that way, then I can only say sorry, I can’t accompany you to your death.” Boss He said.

“Going head-on, it’s basically impossible for us to take down Yang Jian. But there is a way to make Yang Jian disappear from this world forever.” At this moment Sun Ren, sitting beside, spoke up.

Then he slowly placed a room plaque on the table; the plaque was black, with the number 707 written on it.

“Room 707, a cursed plaque. As long as it’s hung outside a room door, that room will become a paranormal room, and the people inside will never be able to get out.” Sun Ren said.

Zheng Yijing’s expression changed, “Is it really that terrifying?”

“Paranormal items are just that unreasonable. To leave, you’ll have to remove the plaque, but those inside can’t do it. Only someone from outside can help remove the plaque.”

Sun Ren said, “I can use this item to trap Yang Jian forever, making him disappear along with Room 707 from this world.”

“What if it doesn’t trap him?”

Zheng Yijing said, “Don’t tell me you’re only betting on this one thing.”

“I’ve prepared some methods, though I can’t guarantee to kill Yang Jian, there’s no problem leaving Yang Jian behind.” At this moment, Lok Sheng spoke up, “If it weren’t for him willing to help, I wouldn’t have the confidence to act today.”

“Alright, we’ll gamble.” Boss He gritted his teeth and immediately made a decision.

Decided to team up against Yang Jian.

After all, no matter what, he couldn’t escape now.

“Yuelian, you go entertain Yang Jian, bring him here and say we want to have a bet with him here.” Boss He said afterward.

He Yuelian touched the bruise on her face, “This is the last time. After this is over, I’ll leave Da’ao City and never want to see you again.”

“Suit yourself.” Boss He responded forcefully.

He Yuelian then turned and left with her long, beautiful legs.

She also hoped Yang Jian would disappear.

After all, she was almost killed by Yang Jian earlier.

Women can hold grudges.
