Chapter 33: First Encounter With Yang Jian
When Jiang Shan returned to the club manor, it was already seven in the morning.
As soon as he entered the hall, Jiang Shan saw Wang Xiaoqiang’s face on the sofa, gloomy as if water was about to drip from it. It seemed that this Ghost Tree Forest incident had caused heavy losses to the club.
Seeing Jiang Shan return, Wang Xiaoqiang barely squeezed out a smile. He had already learned from Guo Dezhong’s description how terrifying this incident was, so he couldn’t afford to neglect Jiang Shan, nor did he dare to.
Wang Xiaoqiang stood up, walked in front of Jiang Shan, and said:
“This time it’s my responsibility. I almost got you killed in this incident. Whatever you want, just say it. I’ll satisfy you as much as possible.”
“I see there are still quite a few empty villas in the manor. Give me three villas, transfer ownership of a few cars to me. I don’t want sports cars, just like that.” Jiang Shan said.
“Just these?”
Wang Xiaoqiang was somewhat surprised in his heart. He had prepared himself to cut flesh, but he didn’t expect Jiang Shan to ask for something so simple.
Actually, for Jiang Shan, this Ghost Tree Forest incident had indeed almost cost him his life. It could be said to be the most dangerous encounter he had experienced since crossing over, even surpassing the ghost newspaper he encountered at home back then.
If it weren’t for Zhao Leihu’s piss, and Chen Yue’s flashlight breaking at just the right time, he might have already become a tree in the Ghost Tree Forest by now.
But Jiang Shan was aware of participating in this matter, and it was voluntary.
He had no reason to jack up the price, let alone ruthlessly extort Wang Xiaoqiang.
Jiang Shan knew that controlling a fierce ghost would inevitably lead to the loss of emotions, which was a rule that almost all ghost wielders could not avoid.
So he wanted to use these things to hold onto his bottom line as much as possible, to remind himself that he would always be a person, not a ghost gradually losing emotions.
Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang silent, Jiang Shan silently lit a cigarette, then said to him:
“We’re just in a cooperative relationship, you willing and me willing. If you think these are too few, I don’t want my four gold boxes anymore. Give me another hundred kilograms, turn one room in the villa you gave me into a safe house. No requirement for how many people it can hold, as long as it can hold five or six.”
“Good, I’ll arrange it right now.” Wang Xiaoqiang immediately agreed to Jiang Shan’s request.
After so many days of interaction, Wang Xiaoqiang discovered that Jiang Shan coming to the club to make money was real, using him was real, but working for the club was also real.
The handling result of this incident gradually weakened his defenses against Jiang Shan.
Not touching benefits means friends. This phrase was perfectly embodied in Wang Xiaoqiang.
After Wang Xiaoqiang finished arranging and left,
Following the club staff’s guidance, Jiang Shan came to a certain villa in the manor, where he saw Chen Yue and her mother.
He told Chen Yue that from now on she and her mother should live here, and someone would take care of their food and drink.
“Thank you, Jiang Shan. I really don’t know what to say, I…” Chen Yue looked at Jiang Shan, her eyes teary and sobbing.
“Just live here with peace of mind. If you and Auntie can’t stay idle, you can have club people drive you around nearby. Best not to go to the city center for the next few months.” Jiang Shan continued:
“I’ll be living in the villa next door to you. Call me if there’s anything.”
“Okay.”
After properly settling Chen Yue and her mother, Jiang Shan returned to the villa Wang Xiaoqiang gave him, lay on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
From entering Chen Family Village yesterday afternoon until escaping the Ghost Tree Forest, his mental state had been in high tension.
If he didn’t sleep soon, Jiang Shan felt his mental state might collapse at any time.
At one in the afternoon, freshly awake, Jiang Shan came to the fifth floor of the club, got a cigarette from Wang Xiaoqiang, and began puffing away.
If he didn’t live in the club, it would be fine; he could sneak home anytime.
But now that he was living in the club, he had no reason to run.
Compared to the club’s members, Jiang Shan basically had nothing to do—no protecting the boss, no commissioned investigations, he didn’t need to worry about any of it.
Slacking off was his main job.
Just as Jiang Shan had smoked half a cigarette, he saw Yan Li leading in a young man with a sharp appearance, calm expression, but an underlying ruthlessness hidden in his bones.
“Yang Jian.”
No need to think, Jiang Shan knew the identity of this young man.
Jiang Shan leaned against the wall, squinting his eyes and watching everything about to unfold in the club.
Handshake,
Talk rules,
Still the familiar routine. Jiang Shan shook his head slightly. He originally thought he could wake up this group of “old men”.
It seemed that the ghost wielders of Little Qiang Club were always dogs that couldn’t change their habit of eating shit.
They didn’t seek a way out to survive, but had a strange obsession with bullying newcomers.
“No way, this club is rotten to the core.” Jiang Shan looked at Wang Xiaoqiang beside him and thought.
At this time, Yan Li passed by Jiang Shan, greeted him, and then walked out.
In the time it took for the people in the hall to exchange a few words.
“Bang~!”
“Bang~! Bang~!”
The hall echoed with the roar of the pistol’s chamber after firing bullets.
Yang Jian aimed the gun at Ye Jun’s head, emptying all the bullets in the pistol.
The hall instantly fell silent.
“I told Ye Jun, but Yang Jian still had to crack his skull open. Why couldn’t he remember?” Jiang Shan lit another cigarette, standing there like he was watching a good show.
He glanced at Wang Xiaoqiang and found that Wang Xiaoqiang’s face had already darkened.
After Yang Jian used the gold baton to give Ye Jun’s head another “retouch,” Wang Xiaoqiang beside Jiang Shan finally reacted. He clapped and walked toward Yang Jian.
After seeing Wang Xiaoqiang suffer a setback, Jiang Shan noticed Yang Jian’s finger pointing exactly at him at the door, neither biased nor slanted.
Actually, Yang Jian meant to point at the door beside Jiang Shan.
Suddenly,
Yang Jian felt the human skin paper in his pocket become uneasy, as if it wanted to escape from here.
This was a situation Yang Jian had never encountered before. He narrowed his eyes and sized up Jiang Shan.
Jiang Shan’s gaze met Yang Jian’s, so he smiled, waved his hand, and laughed:
“Don’t be nervous. I’m Jiang Shan. The feel of his head is good, right? I tried it for you first.”
Yang Jian was somewhat baffled at the moment, but he still looked at Jiang Shan with vigilant eyes.
On Jiang Shan, he felt an unprecedented pressure, a feeling like facing an unknown fierce ghost that made one shudder.
As the gate behind opened, Jiang Shan turned back and saw Yan Li had returned, with several people in suits behind him, clearly finance industry people.
As soon as Yan Li entered, he was stunned by the tense atmosphere in the room and looked at Jiang Shan with a pleading gaze.
“Nothing’s wrong. Do what you need to do. Young people having a bit of temper is normal, wasn’t I like that when I first came?” Jiang Shan said with a smile:
“Later, wrap Ye Jun’s head properly. Really too careless, how does his skull keep getting bumped every day.”
Yan Li nodded,
Seeing the situation stabilize, a middle-aged woman in a white coat behind Yan Li walked up to Yang Jian and said something, with Yan Li following closely.
When Yang Jian said, “I want to know how to control a second fierce ghost and delay the fierce ghost revival,” Jiang Shan noticed the longing and madness in the eyes of every ghost wielder present in the club.
