"Keep an eye on the club. Since we've got Ma Youcai under control, sparing his life for now is inconsequential. He wouldn't dare make a move. Controlling a group of rich businessmen is beyond my confidence, but having the confidence to control one person is still within my grasp," Yang Jian said.
Yang Jian had already returned to the city center in his car, and he didn't immediately go to Rose Bar to find that Wang Yue. It would've been too reckless to just rush over without knowing what kind of existence Wang Yue really was.
So, the best method was to wait for a couple of days.
After the news of what happened at the club spread, Wang Yue would inevitably show some reaction once he heard about it.
By then, friend or foe, it would be clear at a glance.
"During my conversation with Wang Xiaoqiang, he vaguely indicated that I blocked some people's path. Those people are probably inextricably linked to Zhao Kaiming," Yang Jian frowned and pondered.
"After all, if I were to successfully become the ghost controller of Dachang City, Zhao Kaiming would have to leave. Besides, considering the friction between him and me before, he definitely wouldn't be willing to give up Dachang City so easily. Therefore, Yan Li's death, if orchestrated by him, is not out of the question."
As for why kill Yan Li, the true intention wasn't about the murder itself.
It was probably aimed at me.
And there was only one purpose to it.
This phrase suddenly popped into Yang Jian's mind.
If Zhao Kaiming knew there would be a conflict between me and the club, then he would be pleased with today's outcome.
"No, Wang Xiaoqiang isn't stupid enough to be used willingly, unless... he was also kept in the dark, promised some benefits, and looked for an opportunity to eliminate me. Knowing the death of Yan Li's family might be related to the club, this conflict and contradiction would just so happen to clash."
"If that's the case, the person orchestrating all this is truly terrifying," Yang Jian thought, his heart growing colder.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt this speculation was correct.
Otherwise, how could Zhao Kaiming stay in hiding and not show himself after losing a leg to me?
If he were to seek revenge out of rage against me, Yang Jian would be less concerned.
It's those who lie in wait, mobilizing various forces to deal with me, who are truly frightening.
Just at that moment, Yang Jian's phone suddenly rang.
It wasn't a ghost controller's call, but a regular cell phone call. The caller ID showed: Ma Youcai.
"I left my number with Ma Youcai before I left. He's calling me now?" Yang Jian's eyes flickered as he immediately became alert.
However, he still answered the call.
"Hello, Yang Jian, Mister Yang speaking?" Ma Youcai's voice came through the phone, still laced with disbelief.
Yang Jian said, "It's me. President Ma, do you miss me already after just an hour?"
Ma Youcai replied, "Mister Yang, there's something important that I must tell you."
"That Wang Xiaoqiang, the one you killed at the club, he... he came back to life," Ma Youcai said, his tone still carrying a sense of disbelief.
Hearing this, Yang Jian, who was driving, was shocked and almost subconsciously slammed on the brakes.
The vehicle came to a sudden stop, and the car behind nearly collided with it.
Wang Xiaoqiang came back to life?
How is that possible? This must be a joke; such things can't be done.
Wang Xiaoqiang was killed by me personally, his head was taken by me, and to be certain, I even fired an extra shot at Wang Xiaoqiang's head. Even a ghost controller would be done for. Moreover, the ghost inside him was left in the conference room and couldn't possibly have helped him.
In that kind of situation, there was only one path: death.
But Ma Youcai said he came back to life.
However, judging from Ma Youcai's tone, it was possible to tell that the man wasn't lying.
Wang Xiaoqiang must have indeed come back to life; otherwise, Ma Youcai would definitely not dare to speak like that because there is no benefit for him. Instead, he might have enraged Yang Jian by lying and gotten killed by him.
"How did he come back to life? Did you see it?" Yang Jian asked in a deep voice.
Ma Youcai roughly described the previous situation over the phone.
After listening, Yang Jian was also momentarily stunned.
Is that even possible?
That ghost actually helped Wang Xiaoqiang resurrect; since when did fierce ghosts become so friendly? Where did he find such a helpful ghost? Even if a ghost master dies, they could still be saved.
"Not only has Wang Xiaoqiang come back to life, but he also wants me to fund the club with ten billion within three days to find a way to deal with you," Ma Youcai added.
"This is very normal. If he isn't dead, of course, he'd want to take revenge on me. After all, I almost destroyed his club. Anyone would find it unacceptable. However, you can gently remind him that this might be Zhao Kaiming's strategy of using others to do his dirty work. Let's see what Wang Xiaoqiang will do?
When the time comes, whether he chooses to deal with me or Zhao Kaiming, let me know," Yang Jian said.
"Alright, okay. But, is that Zhao Kaiming the person in charge of Dachang City?" Ma Youcai asked.
Yang Jian replied, "Yes, that's him. Who else could it be? Currently, he's the one managing all the supernatural incidents in Dachang City and has boundless authority."
"Today's information has been very useful to me. If you continue to be this honest, that new body of yours will also stay very obedient. As for the ten billion for funding the club, you don't have to think too much about it. If you give it out, you're as good as dead. How could I possibly allow you to spend money to help Wang Xiaoqiang kill me?"
"I... I understand. I'll find an excuse to refuse," Ma Youcai said in alarm.
"Now that you understand, let's leave it at that. I'm still driving, and taking calls is dangerous; it goes against traffic laws and can easily lead to accidents," Yang Jian said.
Are you still afraid of traffic laws?
Human laws can't stop you, can they?
In a hurry, Ma Youcai asked again, "Mister Yang, wait... what about my neck? Could my head really fall off accidentally?"
"Of course, so you should find a doctor to stitch it up to avoid washing your face and accidentally losing your head," Yang Jian said; "Goodbye."
He didn't continue the conversation with Ma Youcai and hung up the phone directly.
Let's leave President Ma be for now; once he figures out his own situation, he'll know what to do next.
Today, Ma Youcai's actions were correct.
Because today he inadvertently stumbled upon Wang Xiaoqiang's plan to deal with him, Yang Jian temporarily put aside the matter with Yan Li. However, this also confirmed that Yan Li's death was not at the hands of the club, but a third party was involved.
This third party is very likely to be Zhao Kaiming.
"It seems necessary to make contact with Zhao Kaiming once again," Yang Jian thought to himself.
Just as he drove up to the entrance of the residential area, his phone dinged with a message.
"Brother Tui, save me, I'm in the detention center."
It was a text message from Zhang Wei.
"What did this kid do, running off to play in the detention center?" Yang Jian didn't want to bother with Zhang Wei at the moment; after all, being in detention wouldn't kill him.
But then he remembered something and immediately checked his location, which turned out to be under the jurisdiction of Liu Jianming, Chief Liu.
He had just been thinking about finding Zhao Kaiming.
Remembering that Chief Liu should be one of Zhao Kaiming's subordinates, he might be able to help make contact with Zhao Kaiming.
With this thought, Yang Jian immediately turned the steering wheel and headed out.
