Chapter 23: Chen Family Village
“The person was killed by me, so what? Wang Xiaoqiang, what are you worried about? Afraid that I’ll affect your club? What makes you think the missionary is definitely stronger than me, or do you think my danger level is not high?”
Looking at the somewhat angry Wang Xiaoqiang, Jiang Shan said calmly.
Immediately after, scarlet ghost characters instantly covered the entire room.
Jiang Shan opened his photo album and tossed his mobile phone in front of Wang Xiaoqiang, then said:
“Are you perhaps shielding this kind of person? Or are you this kind of person yourself?”
Wang Xiaoqiang was somewhat shocked in his heart. This time, he didn’t even see when the ghost characters appeared. If Jiang Shan wanted to kill him, he might have already died once by now.
Then he seemed to understand something and lowered his head to look at the pictures on Jiang Shan’s mobile phone.
The content of the photograph was exactly that already deceased ghost wielder thrown into a gold box like cargo. Looking at that ghost wielder’s expression, he had suffered considerable torment before death.
Wang Xiaoqiang’s face turned ashen as he remained silent. He only knew that the three gold boxes in Paul’s secret room detained ghosts, but he really didn’t know that they contained ghost wielders.
The atmosphere in the office fell into deathly stillness.
When Jiang Shan finished smoking, Wang Xiaoqiang, who had been sitting silently on the sofa for a long time, finally spoke:
“I understand. I will handle this matter and definitely give you a satisfactory response.”
“Good, I hope that response can satisfy me.” Jiang Shan said.
Wang Xiaoqiang’s concession let Jiang Shan know his bottom line.
It seemed Wang Xiaoqiang wasn’t that crazy after all. In the original work, he dared to attack International Criminal Police for his own benefit, but today’s performance made Jiang Shan see him in a new light:
Greedy for small gains but understanding great benefits; on matters of great righteousness, Wang Xiaoqiang still had a clear head.
But regardless,
If Wang Xiaoqiang really had colluded with them, perhaps without Yang Jian taking action, Jiang Shan would kill him himself.
Sending ghosts abroad was no different from sharpening knives for enemies.
Jiang Shan didn’t want to see a future king controlling domestic ghosts.
With that thought, he stood up, looked at Wang Xiaoqiang, and said:
“Wang Xiaoqiang, I need you to help me with one thing.”
“I’ll give you six hundred million. Help me exchange all of it for gold, and by the way, make me five gold boxes for detaining fierce ghosts. I’ve calculated it; this money will only be more, not less.”
“Good, no problem. I can give it to you as early as tomorrow.” Wang Xiaoqiang quickly gave his answer, then continued:
“I have one thing here that needs you to go personally. I need you to rescue a few people.”
“Elaborate.” Jiang Shan said.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Xiaoqiang took out a photograph and placed it in front of Jiang Shan, then said:
“Two days ago, several investors from the club went to a village near Dachang City for hunting and a spring outing. But yesterday, one investor called me and told me they encountered a ghost, and one manager had gone missing. So the club sent two ghost wielders.”
“But this morning, I couldn’t reach anyone’s phone, including those two from the club. This photograph is of that village. Those investors and the two members are very important to the club, so I want you to go rescue them.”
After taking the photograph and glancing at it, Jiang Shan said without hesitation:
“I refuse. When I joined the club, I agreed to help you complete the missions from above. I can refuse this mission; find someone else.”
Wang Xiaoqiang seemed to have anticipated Jiang Shan’s response. He looked at Jiang Shan expressionlessly and said:
“This place is called Chen Family Village. You’re very familiar with the surname Chen, right? I’ll tell you some bad news.”
“Your classmate Chen Yue is now in Chen Family Village.”
Being investigated by Wang Xiaoqiang was something Jiang Shan had long anticipated.
He had no intention of hiding it at all. After all, knowing the background of his subordinates was what a qualified administrator should do.
If he put himself in Wang Xiaoqiang’s shoes, he would definitely investigate the situation of all ghost wielders in the club.
Hearing Wang Xiaoqiang’s words, Jiang Shan appeared very calm, but a slight ripple stirred in his heart.
“Chen Yue?”
“Although I don’t know what happened at your school that night, your ghost was controlled at the school, right? After you two left the school, Chen Yue’s family moved to Chen Family Village.” Wang Xiaoqiang said, looking at the solemn-faced Jiang Shan.
If it was to rescue those club investors and ghost wielders, Jiang Shan absolutely wouldn’t put himself in danger to save them.
After all, the dead face ghost was only suppressed by the ghost characters; it wasn’t balanced with them.
Once in danger, Jiang Shan couldn’t guarantee whether the fierce ghost would kill him first or the dead face ghost in his body would resurrect first.
Moreover, without even basic information, going in rashly would be pure suicide.
And the original purpose of sending Chen Yue to the rural area was to let her family avoid the starving ghost incident. After everything ended, he would let Chen Yue’s family return to Dachang City.
House and money, he could solve for her family. After all, Chen Yue had risked being attacked again by the knocking ghost to save him back then.
But Jiang Shan hadn’t expected that because of his unintentional act, she had instead fallen into a fierce ghost incident.
With that thought, Jiang Shan looked at Wang Xiaoqiang and said: “I can go, but I need to get a gold box in one hour, and you must give me all the information you know, as well as all the information on Chen Family Village.”
“I’ve already had people prepare it.” Wang Xiaoqiang answered straightforwardly.
After ten minutes, Wang Xiaoqiang handed a file to Jiang Shan.
Rather than calling it information, Jiang Shan felt it was more like a file. After carefully reading the contents, he frowned tightly.
Because Chen Family Village was too normal, with almost no suspicious points.
Apart from the recent issue, Chen Family Village was just like an ordinary rural village.
And that recent issue was also very ordinary: the club’s investors entered a nearby mountain forest, and then there was no news.
It made Wang Xiaoqiang confirm whether this was a supernatural event or the disappearance of those two ghost wielders.
Ordinary people might get lost in the mountain forest, but could ghost wielders also go missing?
Not to mention Wang Xiaoqiang didn’t believe it; even Jiang Shan didn’t believe it.
“It seems the problem isn’t in Chen Family Village, but in that mountain forest.” Jiang Shan guessed.
At 1:31 p.m.,
The roar of an SUV engine sounded at the manor gate. Wang Xiaoqiang got out of the car, looked at Jiang Shan standing at the manor entrance, pointed to his watch, and said:
“Thirty-nine minutes. I’ve given you the box and the information. What are you preparing before setting off?”
Jiang Shan checked the gold box in the SUV’s trunk, glanced at the two SUVs behind Wang Xiaoqiang, and saw that the last one was full of people, so he frowned and said:
“Who are they?”
“They are the private team of that missing manager. They all have specialized weapons and are to go with you to Chen Family Village.” Wang Xiaoqiang said.
“They can only be a burden. I refuse. This group will only get me killed. Tell them to go back where they came from.” Jiang Shan’s voice carried an irrefutable coldness.
“Kid, don’t think you’re badass just because you’re a ghost wielder. Old Zhao and I have killed two like you. If Manager Wang hadn’t told us to wait for you, who do you think you are?” A man from the last SUV heard Jiang Shan’s words, stuck his head out, and said with a face full of disdain.
“Hahaha, Old Zhao, saying it like that hurts his feelings too much? He’s not gonna live long anyway, and you’re stimulating him, hahaha.” Another man’s voice came from the car.
Jiang Shan’s expression was icy cold, then he suddenly smiled and looked at Wang Xiaoqiang with a slight smile:
“We’re setting off right away. The road is tough; just need some people.”
