Chapter 192: What Exactly Is Your Relationship With Chen Yue?
On the second day after the Ghost Town in the Rain supernatural event ended.
Jiang Shan’s villa study room was quite lively.
Starting from Jiang Shan who controlled four ghosts, then Zhou Deng who controlled three ghosts, Cao Yang who controlled two ghosts, Zhang Dongxing who controlled one ghost, and Sun Yan who existed due to a special supernatural event.
Jiang Shan, Zhou Deng, Cao Yang, Zhang Dongxing, Sun Yan—five ghost wielders gathered together. Such a number and personnel configuration would be a massive force that couldn’t be ignored anywhere.
After all, ghost wielders aren’t like cabbages on the street, visible everywhere.
They are very rare existences.
Even Ye Zhen’s Supernatural Forum has at most around a dozen administrators.
Even the branch controlling three provinces, after Jiang Shan promised that those who “make huge contributions can control a Dead Machine Fierce Ghost for free,” only had barely thirty-nine ghost wielders in the meeting room.
Because not every ghost wielder is qualified. Some ordinary people just luckily became ghost wielders, but without that quality and ability, they usually die soon. Even if they don’t die, their reason will be eroded by the fierce ghost, making them very abnormal, so they can’t serve as team members.
So, the ghost wielders who can survive in the end, and have ability and quality, are few.
From the original work’s perspective, Zhou Deng and Cao Yang—their characters are trustworthy.
As for Zhang Dongxing and Sun Yan, no need to mention—they are ghost wielders who personally experienced supernatural events with Jiang Shan before.
Now, Zhang Dongxing, as an anomaly, already had the qualification to be nominated as captain at headquarters, just like Cao Yang.
As for Zhou Deng who controlled three ghosts, no need to mention. The only one whose specific strength Jiang Shan didn’t know was Sun Yan.
“Cao Yang? Are you related to Committee Member Cao? How come I see you at headquarters and at the branch—you’re not a connected person, are you?”
Zhou Deng, who controlled his third ghost and solved the resurrection problem, was in an extremely good mood. He originally knew Cao Yang and Cao Yanhua, so he joked at this time.
“No way, buddy, we actually have a connected person in our team? I hate connected people the most.”
Although Sun Yan was not very old, she, who grew up in the northeast, chimed in like a seasoned veteran.
“Who’s the connected person? I got to my position by my own ability. So what if my surname is Cao—I have to be related to Committee Member Cao? By that logic, when Brother Jiang killed Jiang Shangbai, I didn’t see him go soft.”
Cao Yang, teased, pretended to be indignant and stood up abruptly. He looked at Zhou Deng and said loudly.
After speaking, Cao Yang secretly glanced at Sun Yan’s perfect back, like a supernatural creation. After responding, she seemed to have received a message from Jiang Shan and was walking toward the study room door.
“Cao Yang, who is this woman? Do you know her? She wouldn’t be…”
After seeing Sun Yan leave, Zhou Deng, looking pensive, suddenly turned his head. He looked at Cao Yang on the sofa and said in a low voice.
As he spoke, he made a knowing expression.
Cao Yang snorted lightly: “At this point, do you think our Brother Jiang would be interested in such things? Haven’t you noticed that woman’s body has a familiar weirdness?”
Everyone present, except for Cao Yang and Zhou Deng who knew each other, hardly knew one another. They had all gathered that morning after receiving Jiang Shan’s message.
At this moment, the four people on site— even Zhou Deng and Cao Yang didn’t know each other’s abilities.
So, the newcomer Zhou Deng was very curious about everyone.
Cao Yang’s ghost didn’t interest him. He cared about that stunningly beautiful woman and the man in the black trench coat whose face couldn’t be seen.
“?”
Hearing Cao Yang’s words, Zhou Deng’s pupils suddenly contracted, as if he thought of something. He lowered his voice and asked Cao Yang:
“You mean, she’s Dachun City’s former person in charge Sun Yan? Or He Qiong?”
“I don’t know.” Cao Yang shrugged and started eating fruit on the table.
Zhou Deng: .
Not long after, Sun Yan, with joy on her face, pushed open the study room door and walked in. She didn’t pay attention to Zhou Deng and Cao Yang on the sofa.
Instead, she quickly walked up to Zhang Dongxing:
“Brother, Jiang Shan is looking for you.”
Even though Sun Yan had seen Zhang Dongxing in the Ghost Rain before.
But now, Zhang Dongxing’s entire body and even appearance were completely hidden in a gray-white void like dead person’s skin, so Sun Yan didn’t recognize him at all.
Undeniably, Zhang Dongxing’s current weird appearance made people shudder at a glance, as if not a person but a ghost stood before them.
“Okay.”
After Zhang Dongxing left, about twenty minutes later, he returned to the study room and then called Cao Yang out.
When Cao Yang returned to the study room again, Jiang Shan was right beside him.
“Brother Jiang.”
“Minister Jiang.”
“Little Jiang.”
Seeing Jiang Shan walk in, everyone present stood up almost simultaneously.
It seemed the young man at the door, wearing a black custom suit, slightly handsome but with a pale face without a trace of blood color, gave them a strong sense of oppression.
This awe from the heart—even Zhou Deng had never felt it in front of Cao Yanhua.
After all, Cao Yanhua was just an ordinary person in a high position.
While Jiang Shan before him was the ruthless person who massacred the Circle of Friends overnight and single-handedly detained Ye Zhen.
“Sorry to keep you waiting. I think everyone has guessed what I’m going to do. Let’s sit down and talk. I’m not some high-level leader—standing like this is too formal.”
Jiang Shan quickly walked into the study room, then sat on the sofa, expressionlessly crushing the cigarette butt in his hand with his bare hands. Looking at the people around, he said calmly:
“I called everyone here today to talk about forming a team. You probably don’t know each other very well, right?”
Jiang Shan briefly explained everyone’s identities and the Dachun City matter to the others, so everyone would understand the ins and outs.
“Although I’m currently just the temporary branch minister, at headquarters, my position as minister will definitely be recognized. Calling it temporary is practically no different from normal.”
“For now, I need to allocate and control the safety of Da Lin Province, Da Jiang Province, Da Liao Province—these three provinces, as well as all cities, towns, and villages within the provinces. The jurisdiction is very large, so the power in hand is also very great.”
At this point, Jiang Shan suddenly paused.
Because when Zhao Jianguo told him back then that headquarters had appointed him as temporary branch minister with such power, even he found it hard to believe.
A newbie who had become a ghost wielder for less than half a year—why should he have more power than a captain?
How did headquarters pass this proposal?
Even though Jiang Shan controlled four ghosts at the time, he had no cooperation with headquarters at all, so all the strangeness came down to Old Qin.
“What did Old Qin learn from his future self?”
Putting aside this doubt, Jiang Shan looked at the four with eager eyes and continued:
“The current situation doesn’t need more explanation from me. If no objections, all members’ situations are tentatively set like this. Additionally, I’ll arrange for you to move into villas like mine. Of course, your family, relatives, and friends can all move here—I’ll have Chen Yue arrange houses for you.”
“No objections, but Brother Jiang, I want to ask—what exactly is your relationship with Chen Yue?”
