72 Competition
“You think that just because you ask me, I’ll tell you? I won’t divulge client information; that’s a rule of our profession,” Hao Shaowen said.
“Rules can be changed,” Yang Jian uttered.
“Those who break the rules, their end is very miserable,” Hao Shaowen remarked.
Yang Jian pointed to the countdown on his phone, “Then how can you be sure that falling into my hands won’t be miserable? It’s fine if you don’t want to talk, I can ask someone else.”
His gaze shifted to the others.
“Do you know who sent you to deal with Yan Li and me? Whoever speaks up, I’ll let you go, but there’s only one spot available, so I hope you cherish it.”
However, the men in suits were like mutes, not saying a word.
“We have all signed confidentiality agreements. Don’t waste your time trying to get any words out of us… Your ability is quite special, but since you have become a Ghost Domain master, you must know your life won’t be long. How about this, I’ll give up on this deal, and we can both pretend nothing ever happened, okay?”
Hao Shaowen’s expression grew grave; he had an inkling that Yang Jian was troublesome.
Moreover, he was crafty, like a little wolf cub, seemingly harmless like a dog, but if you actually dealt with him, he’d bite a chunk out of you.
Yang Jian looked at him strangely and said, “You come to my door, beat up my business partner like this, pose him like Jesus nailed to the ground, and then try to kidnap my family, extort my possessions… After all the trouble to meet face to face, you start with random shooting and binding, and now you tell me to pretend like nothing happened?”
“Do you think I’m an idiot?”
“It’s fine if you don’t want to talk about the first question, Yan Li and I will find out about it ourselves. But before that, I want you all to understand something again.”
“Who’s really in charge here,”
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the living room lights,
“Zzzt~!”
A faint sound of electricity came, and the bright white lights had suddenly changed color without anyone noticing.
They turned a pale red.
The red light illuminated, casting a red glow over the entire living room, as if a light technician in a bar had purposefully set it that way.
However, it wasn’t just the living room that the red glow covered; when Hao Shaowen glanced out of the window by chance, he saw that the entire world outside was awash with red.
The surrounding silence conveyed an eerie sense of foreboding.
“So, who shall we start with?” Yang Jian slowly stood up from the couch, his eyes surveying these people.
At that moment, Yan Li, who was nailed to the ground and saw the world engulfed in red light, his complexion changed.
Ghost Domain.
He hadn’t expected Yang Jian to actually use the Ghost Domain; it seemed he was serious now.
“Hao Shaowen, you’re better off cooperating with Yang Jian, or else the consequences will be very grim. He’s not like me at all, his ghosts… they are unsolvable,” Yan Li interjected.
It seemed like he was advising, but it was actually to help Yang Jian achieve his goals better.
One playing the good cop, the other the bad cop made a perfect match.
Whether one could escape from the Ghost Domain all depended on Yang Jian’s mood, and it was not something ordinary people could deal with.
Unsolvable ghosts?
Hao Shaowen scoffed, “In my eyes, there’s no ability that’s insurmountable, as long as you’re still human, there’s a way to deal with you.”
As he spoke, he suddenly revealed a pistol in his hand.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Three consecutive shots aimed at Yang Jian’s forehead and chest.
At such close range, a miss was impossible.
“Thud~!”
The next moment, Yang Jian, who had just stood up, immediately fell to the ground as blood rapidly pooled around him.
Dead?
Hao Shaowen’s gaze sharpened, and he was not overly excited.
But before he could check, the red light flickered subtly.
He discovered that the twitching, bleeding body on the ground had turned into one of his subordinates.
Yang Jian had vanished again.
“Boss, what… what’s going on? Why is Zhao Gang the one dead? Wasn’t he just…” one subordinate was startled, hurriedly glancing at his companions.
The one beside him had, at some point, been replaced by Yang Jian.
Yang Jian gave him a grin.
Seemingly innocent and harmless, yet it carried an eerie terror.
“You’re the first one,” Yang Jian said as he suddenly grabbed the man’s neck and pushed him forward.
Bang~!
Hao Shaowen fired behind him without hesitation.
