Chapter 1443 - 1410: Sudden Peace Talks

“You now know about matters between the King Organization and Headquarters. Despite holding the title of Enforcement Captain, there are many things I can’t just push away even if I wanted to. The people from the King Organization are already fixated on me; even if I didn’t want to get involved, I can’t stay out of it.”

In the room, Yang Jian stood by the bed, looking at the Jiang Jing in the distance, expressing some of his inner thoughts.

Zhang Liqin and Jiang Yan had just finished recording the situation. As they lazily lay back on the bed, Yang Jian’s voice reached their ears.

“So it’s uncertain whether I’ll return safely after this departure, but I should make preparations early, as always.”

Yang Jian turned to the two and said, “You have followed me for a long time and know how I’ve come this far. I dislike burning bridges, so if I die on this trip, you will continue to take care of my mother as before. In appreciation, I will leave most of my assets to you.”

“Yang Jian, don’t say that. Taking care of Auntie is our duty, and I believe you’ll be fine this time,” Jiang Yan immediately stood up and said with some concern.

“Who knows? Anyway, leaving a will is never a bad idea, just in case I die suddenly with regrets. But it’s not the first time doing this, just consider it going through the motions, no need to be too nervous. Also, after having lunch with my mom today, I’ll be leaving. Matters at the company have been arranged, so you guys don’t have to work for the next few days, just stay at home. If anything happens, you can call on the Ghost Child; I’ve left it at the Guanjiang Residential Complex,” Yang Jian said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking,

a strange child in burial clothes peeked its head out from behind the curtains, swaying left and right, its pupil-less eyes seemingly observing everything around it.

Yang Jian mentioned the name of the Ghost Child just now, and since Guanjiang Residential Complex is the Ghost Child’s domain, it appears immediately whenever its name is spoken.

“I didn’t ask you to show up; leave here now,” Yang Jian glanced over and said.

The Ghost Child quickly withdrew its head and disappeared behind the curtain.

Faced with such a bizarre scene, Jiang Yan and Zhang Liqin were unsurprised. Instead, the appearance of the Ghost Child added a sense of safety, without fear due to its identity.

“President Yang, you know Jiang Yan and I are just ordinary women. Apart from handling some life matters for you, we can’t help with anything in the supernatural circle. But hearing you so calmly leave a last will every time actually terrifies us inside, fearing that one day you might really disappear without coming back.”

Zhang Liqin sighed softly at this moment, “To put it bluntly, if you’re really gone, do you think Jiang Yan and I could survive? We’ve always been your people, and our situation in the supernatural circle might already be fully investigated. Once there’s a settlement, none of us can escape.”

“But I didn’t say this out of regret for following you, because without you, we’d be long dead, so even out of selfishness, I hope you can live on.”

“I understand what you’re saying, and you’ve put it very tactfully. You’re trying to say that if I die and there’s a settlement, not just you but even my mom wouldn’t be able to escape,” Yang Jian said with a slight change in his gaze.

Zhang Liqin nodded.

Yang Jian gave a calm smile, “You’re quite bold to remind me of this, but the situation now is not like before. You should know this from the notes you just recorded; if we lose this time, many people will die, and supernatural incidents will go completely out of control, leading to all kinds of dire situations. There’s no choice but to fight desperately, and as for what happens afterward, it’ll be left to fate.”

“Alright, I’ve said what I needed to say. You go buy some groceries from the community supermarket and prepare today’s lunch.”

The two nodded and didn’t continue the conversation, immediately leaving to prepare lunch.

Yang Jian rested for a few hours, had lunch, and then left Dachang City on his own, heading to Dadong City again.

In a day’s time, he completed all the preparations he could.

However, it’s not just him working hard; other captains are also trying their best because this is a battle concerning life and death for everyone, and no one will take it lightly.

When Yang Jian appeared at Ning’an Building in Dadong City, Wang Guoqiang brought the latest news.

“Yang Team, just half an hour ago, there was a temporary negotiation between the King Organization and our Headquarters. The people from the King Organization want to have a teleconference with you, hoping to resolve some contradictions and conflicts peacefully, and potentially avoid this inevitable war.”

Yang Jian was stunned upon hearing this, feeling very surprised, “The other side wants to negotiate?”

“It seems they have that intention,” Wang Guoqiang nodded.

Lu Zhiwen, on the side, said with a cold expression, “They suffered a big loss last night. It’s estimated there are internal issues within the King Organization. Wanting to negotiate is not impossible; after all, the Ghost Ship will dock in a few days. The timing is tight; they don’t dare to gamble anymore. Once the Ghost Ship docks, there’s no turning back.”

Yang Jian’s gaze moved slightly, “Are you implying we should agree to negotiate with them?”

“If the other side is willing to delay a bit under the guise of negotiation, we’re also happy to oblige, aren’t we? And we know the chances of negotiation are almost nonexistent. Even if they don’t want to continue the fight, we absolutely cannot allow the King Organization to exist. Their proposed Ark Project is too dangerous. As long as this organization exists, there’s a possibility of implementing that plan. We must eliminate them in one effort,” Lu Zhiwen said seriously.

Yang Jian asked, “Do others know about the other side wanting to negotiate?”

“Most of the captains are already aware,” Lu Zhiwen said.

Wang Guoqiang said, “The people from the King Organization said the negotiation can be done through an online video, no need for face-to-face. Of course, there’s also the possibility they want to launch a surprise attack on us through this method. Yang Team, do you think we should refuse or agree?”

Yang Jian pondered for a moment, “A surprise attack through a video call is obviously very dumb, not so easy to kill a captain, and since we’re about to have a meeting, everyone will naturally be on guard against this. Since they want to talk, let’s see what they really want.”

He also knew the likelihood of negotiation was zero, but now both sides had concerns. The King Organization no longer had the upper hand they used to, and the Headquarters was not a pushover either.

With equal strength, the right to dialogue naturally exists.

Yang Jian agreed to negotiate with the King Organization, letting Wang Guoqiang convey the response.

Soon, news came back from Wang Guoqiang’s side that the video conference would be held in an hour.

“This time, we won’t let too many captains make an appearance, just the two of us and Leuk San will do. Our intelligence information has already been leaked, so it doesn’t matter. The other captains’ information hasn’t been exposed yet, no need for them to be seen. Also, the video conference won’t be here; choose a new location,” Yang Jian continued.

“Rest assured, Yang Team, I’ll handle it,” Wang Guoqiang got busy, selecting a new address and setting up video conference equipment.

Lu Zhiwen turned to ask at this moment, “Yang Jian, how’s the preparation for the war on our side?”

“You come from the Intelligence and Archives Department of Headquarters, and you don’t know the war preparation?” Yang Jian asked.

“I really don’t know the latest situation. Can you reveal a bit? So I can have a handle on it and make further arrangements,” Lu Zhiwen asked with an impassive expression.

Yang Jian said, “Ye Zhen from Dahai City has been convinced; he’s coming to Dadong City today. I reckon he’ll arrive in the afternoon. Also, Zhang Xiangguang’s side has been settled, but we must assume the risk of releasing him. I also spent some cost inviting an external aid named Sister Hong; if you encounter her next time, don’t attack her, but also be wary as her stance is complex. Lastly, I went to Dachang City to bring over my teammates Li Yang and Tong Qian.”

“Ye Zhen, Zhang Xiangguang, Sister Hong? It seems things are progressing smoothly. I’ll inform the other captains then,” Lu Zhiwen nodded.

“How’s your side of things?” Yang Jian also asked.

Lu Zhiwen replied with a blank expression, “Several captain candidates are already on their way to Dadong City. Moreover, He Yiner has come to her senses and invited the two residents from Taiping Town who participated in the Ghost Lake event last time. Leuk San has also transferred all his paper figures to Dadong City. Now, you can encounter Leuk San’s paper figures anytime on the road. This essentially spreads our intelligence network.”

“He Yuelian has also released the ghost painting in this period. Coastal cities are connected, and if needed, they can be pulled into the ghost painting world in the shortest time, avoiding greater harm between us and the King Organization. This can be considered half a Peach Blossom Plan.”

“Wang Chaling wants to ask you, Yang Team, where do you plan to place the Supernatural Pendulum Clock?”

“I haven’t decided on the location for the Supernatural Pendulum Clock yet. It might be used at the last moment. Tell him not to rush; this Supernatural Pendulum Clock is our final trump card and can’t be used unless it’s critical,” Yang Jian said. “From the current situation, our strength is rapidly increasing, and various responsive measures have been displayed. Things are better than expected.”

Lu Zhiwen nodded, “The foundation of the headquarters is still there. Although we were caught by surprise before, now that we’ve responded, we won’t lose too much to them. Now, as long as we stay united, it’ll be hard for them to take us down.”

“Certainly. They’re also afraid of dying. Seeing we’re not easy to deal with, they proposed today’s negotiation. Alright, go call Leuk San’s paper figures over. It’s time we talked with these King Organization folks,” Yang Jian said.
