Chapter 126: Yang Jian’s Arrogant Entrance
Fang Shiming asked, but Lin Qian refused.
They gave up on this matter.
Yang Jian was a grassroots.
If they didn’t have Lin Qian as their backer, they would definitely go invite Yang Jian.
But if Yang Jian refused, they would naturally find a way to make Yang Jian agree.
“I heard you disappeared for a while before.”
“Yang Jian also disappeared for a while after you disappeared.”
“At that time, Yang Jian’s positioning showed as abnormal.”
Fang Shiming’s gaze flickered.
Lin Qian sat down boldly, “Get straight to the point.”
“How did that bus make you feel?”
Fang Shiming asked directly.
Yo?
Hearing this, Lin Qian was truly surprised, “You’ve been on it.”
Being able to mention the bus, Fang Shiming must have been on it.
Fang Shiming didn’t hide it either, nodding, “Yes, I survived on the bus for almost a few months, it was a matter of life and death.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Qian instantly thought of how Xu Feng and Lin Bei had mentioned in the original work that a senior had survived on the bus for a long time.
Could that person be Fang Shiming?
“Who would’ve thought, you’re actually keeping a low profile with hidden depths.”
Lin Qian leaned forward, observing Fang Shiming, “It seems you’ve become a Ghost Controller for quite a long time.”
Fang Shiming also leaned forward, “To be honest, before the supernatural fully revived, we had already started contacting supernatural events.”
“When our Circle of Friends was established, Ye Zhen’s Supernatural Forum was just a story forum.”
“Domestically, the first to contact fierce ghosts and start research wasn’t Headquarters, but our Circle of Friends.”
“Unfortunately, if we’d met you earlier, I wouldn’t have had to take those risks before.”
Recalling those days of life and death, Fang Shiming felt somewhat emotional.
Surviving on the bus was a matter of life and death.
Then later conflicting with Ye Zhen, another matter of life and death.
Later in Dachuan City, obtaining the Ghost Scissors, again a matter of life and death.
His whole life had been a series of matters of life and death.
Although he was a rich man.
“Since you’ve been on that bus, you should have some understanding of its abilities and characteristics.”
“When I was surviving on the bus, big and small incidents were numerous. I can say this: except for full load, I’ve encountered everything else.”
Lin Qian replied, “Rich experiences, but coincidentally, my luck isn’t great. Last time I went, I encountered full load right away.”
Full load?
Fang Shiming was startled; he had heard of full load but had never experienced it.
He was very curious, what happens to the bus after full load?
Lin Qian didn’t intend to hide it, directly explaining the situation that occurs during full load and how he dealt with it.
After speaking, Fang Shiming licked his lips, “Lin Qian, you’re no ordinary person.”
Facing such a perilous situation, Lin Qian didn’t give up but clung to the bus and moved forward.
He was a ruthless person.
At the same time, he learned that after the bus is full, it surprisingly doesn’t let ghosts off, and after stopping, the ghosts inside the bus disappear.
He knew exactly what that meant.
It seems full load is the most dangerous.
Soon, the car stopped.
Fang Shiming and Lin Qian got off.
“This is our Circle of Friends’ Headquarters.”
Fang Shiming pointed at the Ping An Mansion in front of them and said.
Looking at this hundred-story building in front of him, well, rich people are just different.
Casually living in a hundred-story building.
“Currently, this place is temporarily being used as a relocation site for Ghost Controller family members of Headquarters.”
“After all, only our Circle of Friends is willing to take them in and give them jobs that are almost free money.”
After Fang Shiming finished speaking, he talked to Li Yao who was walking over from the side.
Li Yao nodded and quickly left with Jiang Shangbai and the other shareholders.
Ping An Mansion’s various staff came and went frequently.
Lin Qian noticed but didn’t pay much attention.
He and Fang Shiming chatted very well; they could talk.
Fang Shiming was no simple person.
The other party had come in his true body.
So, he could clearly sense the terrifying supernatural power within the other party.
At the same time, he also discovered that the shareholders of the Circle of Friends had something not belonging to themselves on them.
However, Jiang Shangbai did not have this thing.
The thing should be related to Fang Shiming.
In the following days, Lin Qian kept a low profile, occasionally going to the Training Base to listen to lectures.
Going to the Shooting Range to practice shooting skills.
Then, going to the lab to watch Wang Xiao Ming do research.
Wang Xiao Ming was still trying to analyze the principle behind making the fierce ghost crash.
But unfortunately, the other party hadn’t figured it out even now.
He didn’t even have any leads yet.
Lin Qian also saw the Ghost Coffin.
Well, the moment he heard that Wei Jing was lying inside and couldn’t get out.
Lin Qian had already fallen silent.
When he touched the Ghost Coffin trying to plunder it and experienced the restart.
Lin Qian knew that the Ghost Messenger was about to fully incubate.
Now the entire Ghost Coffin would passively restart when attacked.
Very troublesome.
However, there was also good news: with the Ghost Messenger about to fully incubate and entering a passive defense state, the Ghost Messenger supernatural within him surprisingly wouldn’t stir.
This could also be considered a good thing.
Bang bang bang~!
Every shot hit the ten-ring.
Lin Qian looked at his score; not bad.
He put away the gun.
Lin Qian planned to head back.
Just as he walked out of the Shooting Range, Lin Qian paused; he saw a familiar person.
“Zhao Jianguo, your retirement life seems pretty good.”
On the playground, Zhao Jianguo was holding a newspaper and sitting on a chair. Hearing Lin Qian’s teasing, Zhao Jianguo put down the newspaper.
“It’s Lin Qian.”
Zhao Jianguo patted the seat next to him, “Sit, chat?”
But Lin Qian waved his hand, “We have nothing to talk about.”
“Are you wary of me?” Zhao Jianguo was stunned.
Lin Qian smiled, “Wary?”
He shook his head, “Not really.”
“I’m heading back.”
Lin Qian didn’t plan to chat much with Zhao Jianguo; he was afraid that while chatting, a newspaper would suddenly cover his face.
Watching Lin Qian’s departing back, Zhao Jianguo was puzzled; why did it feel like this Lin Qian didn’t like him at all?
“Strange guy.”
Zhao Jianguo shook his head and picked up the newspaper again, but he himself didn’t notice that a eerie smile appeared on his face.
But soon this smile was covered by the newspaper.
As soon as he returned to the Circle of Friends, he saw Fang Shiming with a gloomy face.
“What’s wrong?”
Lin Qian was somewhat surprised; Fang Shiming generally wouldn’t act like this.
Basically, no matter what happened, Fang Shiming remained very calm, never showing emotions on his face.
Unless…
Unless he encountered that one person.
Fang Shiming took a deep breath, “Go up and see for yourself.”
Lin Qian already had a rough guess in his heart about what had made Fang Shiming’s face so grim.
He followed Fang Shiming upstairs. When he arrived outside the office and heard the game sounds inside, Lin Qian’s guess became even more accurate.
The moment he pushed open the door and saw the scene inside.
Lin Qian’s guess was confirmed.
“Ye Zhen, why are you here?”
Inside the office, a young man was sitting with his legs crossed on a chair, leaning back and playing on his mobile phone.
Hearing the familiar voice, the young man looked up, “Came to find you.”
After saying that, he continued focusing on the game.
“You said you’d give me a chance to go all out, I’ve waited so many days, and you haven’t contacted me.”
“I’m very anxious.”
“I went to your turf to find you, but learned you’d come here, so I came.”
Fang Shiming’s face was ashen, “Ye Zhen, to be honest, my Circle of Friends doesn’t welcome you.”
“Bullshit!”
Ye Zhen looked up directly, “You dare not welcome me, Ye?”
“Are you itching for a beating?”
Fang Shiming’s face darkened even more, “Ye Zhen, stop acting crazy here; this is Da Jing City, not your Supernatural Forum!”
“Loser, stop yapping; if you’re not convinced, let’s fight.”
Ye Zhen glanced sideways at Fang Shiming, “If you beat me, Ye, whatever you say goes.”
“You think I’m afraid of you?” Fang Shiming said coldly.
“Yo, from the sound of it, you want to exchange blows with me, Ye?”
Sensing a fight, Ye Zhen stopped playing the game, stood up directly, and tossed his mobile phone aside:
“Come on, go all out, entertain me fully; you can use any means at your disposal, as long as you think you can kill me, Ye.”
“Do as you please, I’m invincible.”
Ye Zhen said flatly.
Fang Shiming’s expression was icy, “You really think I’m afraid of you?”
“Cut the crap, let’s fight!”
Whether afraid or not, fight first; trash talk is useless.
The two were at daggers drawn, looking like they were about to fight to the death any moment.
Lin Qian rubbed his brow, “Both of you say less; this is Da Jing City. If you two fight, Headquarters won’t sit idly by.”
“Give me face, sit down and talk properly.”
Lin Qian gestured with his hand.
Upon hearing this, Fang Shiming gave Ye Zhen a deep look, snorted coldly, and sat down.
Ye Zhen curled his lip, “Coward.”
But he also gave Lin Qian face.
And sat down again.
“Lin Qian, how much longer for the opportunity you mentioned?”
Ye Zhen was really bored; he couldn’t find any passion in life anymore.
Lin Qian estimated the time, “Soon.”
According to the timeline, within no more than half a month, the opportunity Ye Zhen wanted would come.
“Less than half a month, just wait.” Lin Qian wasn’t in a hurry anyway; he had two purposes for coming here.
Updating the Ghost Messenger system and the Ghost Painting.
“Half a month?”
“I can wait.”
Fang Shiming frowned, puzzled about what opportunity the two were talking about.
He asked, but Lin Qian just said you’d know when it happens.
Speaking of which, that afternoon at the airport.
A red light flashed across the sky like an illusion.
Immediately after, a plane eerily appeared in the airspace above Da Jing City’s airport, like the ghost train or ghost ship from urban legends, enough to leave people dumbfounded, but now Da Jing City was probably going to have rumors of a ghost plane circulating.
“The rumored Ghost Eye Yang Jian has arrived!”
Near the cabin, many special personnel looked at this suddenly appearing plane with strange gazes; they had received notifications early and prepared to receive him, so they knew some inside information.
“This Yang Jian is really arrogant, landing in the city by stepping on a plane; not afraid of suddenly dropping dead?” Many Ghost Controllers preparing to receive him couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.
“If you could resolve so many high-level supernatural events and still be alive, you could be arrogant too.” Someone beside said indifferently.
“There are really quite a few people in Da Jing City.”
A young man stood on the plane, his forehead Ghost Eye eerily scanning the surroundings; he sensed unusual presences at several spots in the airport.
They were Ghost Controllers.
And top-tier ones at that; at least those controlling two ghosts, otherwise the Ghost Eye wouldn’t react.
“No wonder Da Jing City is so safe; with so many Ghost Controllers stationed here, even if a supernatural event occurs, it can be resolved immediately.” The young man withdrew his gaze, then the surrounding red light flashed slightly, and he eerily disappeared.
At the same time, near the cabin, several vehicles quickly approached; there were medical personnel, order maintenance staff, and Ghost Controllers responsible for reception just in case.
The airport looked sparsely populated, but it was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, because the nation’s top batch of Ghost Controllers had already gathered here in secret.
Packing up his things, Yang Jian now carried his luggage bag and walked out from first class.
Although the plane was fine now, the passengers didn’t know that and were still emotionally collapsed, crying and screaming nonstop; some had even started frantically writing last words and calling family.
But Wang Dong remained relatively calm; he had been paying attention to the situation outside the window.
The plane had indeed lost control before and was crashing, but a minute ago the situation had changed—something he couldn’t understand, it was supernatural.
“President Lin, your member is quite arrogant.” Fang Shiming watched the scene at the airport, his gaze flickering.
As a grassroots, this was indeed too arrogant—arriving in Da Jing City by stepping on a plane.
“Arrogant?”
Ye Zhen clasped his hands behind his back, “I, Ye, don’t think being arrogant with strength counts as arrogant.”
Lin Qian glanced at Ye Zhen and, seeing his envious expression, knew he envied Yang Jian for this show-off opportunity.
He probably regretted not thinking of such a show-off move himself earlier.
As soon as the young man got off the plane, he saw several people coming to greet him nearby; among those he recognized was probably Shen Liang, and behind him two Ghost Controllers.
Guo Fan, and another he had met in Z City, seemed to be called Zhong Shan.
“Yang Jian, you’ve made another contribution this time; resolving a supernatural event within an hour and saving all the passengers on an entire plane—Headquarters was right about you; you never disappoint at critical moments.” Shen Liang walked over enthusiastically, bending at the waist and extending his hand.
Yang Jian wasn’t interested in verbal praise, just saying: “Any rewards? This supernatural event happened outside Da Chang City, not in my jurisdiction, so it should count as a business trip; there should be travel expenses or something. Are you just brushing me off with a few words?”
“Cough, cough.” Shen Liang wasn’t used to Yang Jian’s straightforward personality for a moment.
Though he knew Yang Jian wasn’t one for pleasantries, asking for travel expenses in front of so many people—he really said it.
And once he opened his mouth, he wouldn’t back down.
“Talking money is tacky, but rest assured, Headquarters won’t skimp on what you’re owed.” Shen Liang said with a smile.
Yang Jian said: “So what rewards is Headquarters giving?”
Shen Liang didn’t continue tangling on this issue with Yang Jian, instead changing the subject with a smile: “Let’s not talk about that first; how’s the situation on the plane? Has that thing really been contained successfully? No safety hazards left, right?”
“Let’s talk rewards first before safety hazards.” Yang Jian said.
“…” Shen Liang’s smile stiffened slightly.
“This little Yang has real strength.” Ye Zhen observed him, recalling that previous phone call, and licked his lips.
“Bullying the young with the old wouldn’t be good,” Lin Qian reminded.
Ye Zhen replied, “True, if fighting, I have to fight you first, and whatever plans you have with your member.”
He wouldn’t do anything that lowered his status.
No one knew what Yang Jian and the others talked about.
Soon, people entered to handle the aftermath.
But Yang Jian and the others didn’t leave.
They were waiting for something.
“Aren’t we leaving?” Fang Shiming was puzzled; the matter was over, why stay here?
“Nothing to do anyway, might as well watch more.” Lin Qian said.
“Who is that person?”
Lin Qian pointed at the middle-aged man talking to Yang Jian.
“Zhong Shan.” Fang Shiming looked and said.
Lin Qian’s gaze flickered, and he nodded.
Ye Zhen stroked his chin, “Captain plan?”
He looked at Lin Qian and Fang Shiming, “What is the Captain plan?”
Fang Shiming and Lin Qian exchanged a glance, immediately understanding that Zhong Shan, who was chatting with Yang Jian, had mentioned the Captain plan.
