Mysterious Awakening

Chapter 183: Move

"What is this thing? Such a small box is so heavy." The female salesperson, Zhang Liqin, dragged a box into the elevator, panting.

Even lifting it up was difficult, let alone carrying it.

Although Jiang Yan was sweating profusely, she was full of energy and didn't feel tired at all.

"This is the empire I built." She squinted her eyes, somewhat showing off. "Since you helped me, I'll make an exception and show it to you."

As she spoke, she opened a heavy suitcase.

Inside were rectangular pieces emitting a charming halo of gold bars, which appeared in front of Zhang Liqin's eyes.

"Gold?" Zhang Liqin was surprised. "Are all of these...?"

Her heart trembled.

All those heavy boxes she moved earlier were actually filled with gold?

"Of course, they are all gold. Although it doesn't look like much, there are four hundred kilograms in total, costing four billion." Jiang Yan said.

Zhang Liqin was clearly shocked.

As a car salesperson, she had also dealt with some big clients and had received CEOs worth several billion. However, she had never encountered someone who transported four hundred kilograms of gold at once.

"Why did your boyfriend buy so much gold?" Zhang Liqin suppressed her astonishment and asked, hoping to get some useful information.

Jiang Yan said, "I don't know. He's usually unpredictable. Last time I asked him, he said it was for house decoration, but it might not be enough."

"Gold for house decoration?" Zhang Liqin widened her eyes.

"He said so, but it's definitely a lie. Maybe it's just an investment. The price of gold has been soaring recently, and the stock market is regulated. I lost millions in it. Investing in physical gold is definitely a good way." Jiang Yan mentioned this and started to feel a headache. "Unfortunately, I'm broke now and can't afford to invest anymore."

She was hoping that Yang Jian would give her a bonus.

Although this little man was a bit strange, he was very generous. He didn't even blink when he gave her millions.

"Maybe it's not just an investment." Zhang Liqin thought to herself.

If it was another company's CEO buying so much gold, she would think it was for investment. But her woman's intuition told her that Yang Jian was definitely not like that.

"I'll buy some gold too and see if I can make a small fortune following Mr. Yang." She smiled and expressed her thoughts.

Jiang Yan said, "There's definitely no problem following Yang Jian. If he would cheat others, he definitely wouldn't cheat me."

Soon, the two women, exhausted, slowly moved the gold to the side of the car.

"Why is it taking so long? I've been waiting for you for half a day." Yang Jian squatted by the roadside, holding a lamb skewer and eating.

"You heartless person. I helped you move things, and you're here eating lamb skewers." Jiang Yan complained.

Yang Jian said, "Do you want to eat?"

"I don't eat lamb skewers. I want to go to a French restaurant for steak and red wine. You treat." Jiang Yan said.

"Are skewers not delicious with steak? Don't joke around. A lump of such a small steak, making it look like I can't afford it. You really don't eat lamb skewers?" Yang Jian said.

Jiang Yan hesitated for a moment and felt a bit hungry. "Then give me one skewer."

After receiving it, she carefully took a bite. "Hmm, it tastes good, really fragrant."

"Picky eating is a bad habit. You should quit it in the future." After finishing his skewer, Yang Jian clapped his hands and stood up. "Is everything moved?"

Zhang Liqin on the side said, "Mr. Yang, everything has been moved. It's all here."

"Don't call me Mr. Yang. I'm not a company owner. Normal people call me by my name, and people in the industry call me Ghost Eye Detective. Friends usually call me Brother Leg. You can call me whatever you like." Yang Jian walked over, opened the trunk, and put the four hundred kilograms of gold inside.

"Is that all? Don't you have any clothes or anything else to move?" he asked.

Jiang Yan, with oil all over her mouth, still not satisfied, asked the chef next to her to grill ten more skewers. "I bought them before. Anyway, my clothes are all old. You'll have to advance my salary when the time comes."

"It depends on your work attitude." Yang Jian said.

"Pack up and let's go. Don't eat anymore. It's too late to wander outside. If we encounter any supernatural events, we'll be in trouble. If I remember correctly, there should still be a ghost wandering in Dachang City. I haven't encountered it recently. I don't know which house it has gone to."

"What?" Jiang Yan almost choked. "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

They hurriedly packed up, got in the car, and Jiang Yan quickly occupied the passenger seat.

"Why are you standing there? Hurry up and drive." Yang Jian said. "Are you really afraid of death? Should I send you back together, Miss Zhang?"

"Let's go together. The contract procedures haven't been completed yet," Zhang Liqin hesitated for a moment and still got on the car.

Of course, she wasn't just here for the contract. The fear in her heart hadn't dissipated yet, and she felt safe following Yang Jian. She didn't dare to leave easily.

"Then let's go."

Yang Jian quickly started the car and drove towards Guanjiang Residential Area.

While they were still on the way, his satellite positioning phone rang.

"Hello, Yang Jian, it's me, Captain Zhao Jianguo."

"What's the matter, Captain Zhao?" Yang Jian asked.

Zhao Jianguo laughed, "I'm here to thank you. Thank you for your assistance in rescuing the criminal police officer Tong Qian from the Ghost Domain. According to Tong Qian's report, you also dealt with a Ghost Tamer named Wang Yue and detained the ghost?"

"You're not interested in taking that ghost from me, are you?" Yang Jian said. "I sold the coffin to Professor Wang last time, and I don't plan to sell this ghost."

"No, no, no, you misunderstood. I'm just sincerely grateful. It's a good thing that you detained that ghost. It eliminated a potential threat to Da Chang City, and your contribution is not small. This will greatly help your application to exercise the powers of a criminal police officer. After all, the greater the contribution, the more care you will receive from higher-ups," Zhao Jianguo said.

"If it weren't for the incident in Huanggang Village, they wouldn't have agreed to your request this time. Also, you still have to go through the formal procedure of officially taking over as a criminal police officer. Someone will contact you within ten days. Don't worry, we will fulfill the promises we made."

"That's good. Is there anything else? I've been running around all day and I'm tired. If there's nothing else, I want to go to sleep," Yang Jian said.

"Sorry for disturbing your sleep. There is indeed one more thing to inform you about. Just twenty minutes ago, the Ghost Domain in the center of Da Chang City disappeared. Just like the files said, the Knocking Ghost has left."

"Then you should be cautious about other places. If the Knocking Ghost left Da Chang City, it will definitely appear elsewhere."

"That's true. The higher-ups have already formulated an operation plan to detain the Knocking Ghost. We can't let such a terrifying ghost roam freely and kill people in our country. Your operation report is of great help. I will recommend you for commendation. As for Da Chang City, you will have to work harder."

"Whether it's a supernatural event that happened or didn't happen, as long as you solve it and report it, you will be commended here. It will be beneficial to you in the future."

"If necessary, I will report," Yang Jian said.

"Okay, I won't disturb your rest anymore. Oh, there's one more thing. The surviving criminal police officer Zhao Kaiming, who was involved in this incident, is still alive. He didn't sacrifice himself. I hope you two can get along well in the future," Zhao Jianguo said before ending the call.

Yang Jian frowned as he listened.

Zhao Kaiming was still alive?

This was really bad news.

But how did that guy survive from the hands of the Knocking Ghost?

He should have just controlled a ghost.

"Even if he survived this time, he probably paid a great price," Yang Jian thought. "But as long as he's alive, he's still a hidden danger."

He was wary of Zhao Kaiming not because of his abilities.

It was because of this person's character.

Like a lurking venomous snake, it was harmless when hidden, but deadly when revealed.

If he hadn't dealt with Wang Yue this time, Zhao Kaiming's plan would have succeeded. He would have used Wang Yue and the members of the Little Strong Club to surround him, and he would have been doomed.

Killing Yan Li was not because of any grudge, but to eliminate any potential helpers around him, and to involve Wang Yue in this conflict.

"Why did he go to such great lengths to deal with me? He has always had a great hostility towards me," Yang Jian thought as he drove and contemplated.

In principle, he and Zhao Kaiming didn't have any grudges, and they hadn't even met before.

The first time they met, Zhao Kaiming just wanted to recruit him, but he refused.

If the two of them had a grudge, there was only one reason.

Zhao Kaiming didn't want to give up his position as a criminal police officer!

But this reason wasn't sufficient.

Yang Jian had doubts in his mind, but after thinking for a while, he couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation, so he didn't dwell on it. Since they had already become enemies, their positions were clear, and the reasons were no longer important.

Soon, the car stopped at the sales office of Guanjiang Residential Area.

Zhang Xiangu was very efficient in handling things. The signboard of the sales office had been removed, and the workers had even thoughtfully erected iron railings near the sales office. Now, the construction was already completed.

People who came here for the first time wouldn't think this was a sales office at all. They would only think it was a luxurious European-style villa."Is this the new house you bought?" Jiang Yan was stunned as she got out of the car and saw this five-story villa.

"Yes, a classmate of mine is in real estate, his father gave it to me. I'll be living here from now on." Yang Jian said.

"That's amazing." Jiang Yan cheered and jumped for joy, immediately rushing in to see her future home.

Zhang Liqin, on the other hand, was not surprised. It was normal for a billionaire who could afford to spend several hundred million to live in such a villa.

"She just ran off? If you leave, who's going to help me move things?" Yang Jian called out.

He looked at Zhang Liqin.

Zhang Liqin was a bit embarrassed and said, "I strained my muscles, I don't have any strength right now, I can't move anything."

"Then you go in first, I'll handle it myself." With no other choice, the last of the heavy lifting fell to Yang Jian.
