Zhang Xiangu certainly wanted to take advantage of the chaos.
If not to take advantage of the chaos, why would he hastily set up this trap with Yang Jian?
“President Zhang, let’s talk after I leave this damned place, okay? I’m begging you, have Yang Jian come save me. As long as I’m safe and sound, everything is negotiable.” President Qin pleaded.
“That won’t do. Some things should be discussed first. If President Qin has no sincerity, then forget it. We’ll talk next time we meet,” Zhang Xiangu said, sounding like he was about to hang up the phone.
“Wait, wait a moment,” President Qin hurriedly said. “Everything is negotiable, don’t hang up just yet.”
Zhang Xiangu asked, “So, President Qin, are you selling your real estate or not?”
“Even if we were selling, President Zhang, you couldn’t afford it. I’m well aware of your financial situation. Most of your assets have been invested in the construction site. You probably don’t have much left before the real estate is sold,” President Qin said.
“That depends on President Qin’s sincerity. If you’re willing to sell below market price, naturally, I can afford it,” Zhang Xiangu said.
“How much are you offering?”
Zhang Xiangu answered, “Ten billion.”
“Ten billion and you expect me to sell you the whole package? You might as well rob me directly, Zhang Xiangu. I’ve already invested over six or seven billion in this land,” President Qin cursed angrily.
Zhang Xiangu said, “Don’t misunderstand, the ten billion isn’t for your land alone; it includes President Qian’s property as well. A total package deal for ten billion. Although it’s a bit of a loss, this price is still reasonable. After all, there are rumors that the construction site is haunted. I’m having Yang Jian investigate. If it’s true, then the property here is worthless. If it’s false, then it’s a cause for celebration.”
“So I’m taking a risk too. It’s just whether the two of you are willing to let go or not.”
President Qin wanted to refuse outright, but Zhang Xiangu’s words reminded him abruptly.
Right.
Selling at market value, he would definitely take a loss.
But if this place were really haunted, and the houses couldn’t be sold, selling everything to Zhang Xiangu for ten billion and getting out of here might not be a bad idea after all?
Zhang Xiangu was still uncertain whether this place was really haunted.
But he was certain of it.
This place really was haunted.
With this thought, President Qin felt this deal could work.
While he was on the phone negotiating, footsteps outside the elevator had come very close. Judging by the sound, the pair of dead man’s feet illuminated by the cell phone just now should not be more than three meters away.
Even possibly closer.
“President Qin, is there, is there no outcome yet? Hurry up and have Zhang Xiangu send someone to save us,” President Qian urged.
“I, I’m communicating with him, aren’t I? Zhang Xiangu is taking advantage of the situation to try to acquire our real estate at this critical moment. He wants our assets and is offering ten billion for the whole package… This damn guy really knows when to pick his moment,” President Qin said with both shock and rage.
He never suspected that the supernatural event in front of him was orchestrated by someone.
Experiencing such an incident for the first time, how could he possibly think there was someone behind it?
However, before he finished speaking,
One of the bodyguards standing by the elevator suddenly lurched forward and fell to the ground.
“Help, help me!” the bodyguard cried out in terror.
Everyone quickly looked over.
But in the darkness, it seemed as though a human silhouette was dragging the bodyguard, quickly disappearing into the shadows.
In the blink of an eye.
The person was gone.
There was no further sound, only an eerie silence around them.
Even the footsteps from before had vanished.
“Quick, tell Zhang Xiangu I agree, I agree! As long as we can leave here alive, I agree to sell my real estate,” President Qian said. Being faint-hearted, he couldn’t bear such a fright. Seeing this, where could he care how much the place sold for?
As long as he could be safe and sound, he would agree to any condition.
But at this very moment,
Yang Jian, who was controlling the Ghost Domain, suddenly received a call.
It was the satellite positioning cell phone that rang.
“Hello, who is it?” Yang Jian frowned, annoyed at being disturbed at this time.
“Is this Yang Jian? I’m your operator, Liu Xiaoyu,” came a familiar voice from the other end of the line.
Yang Jian said, “What’s the matter? I’m a bit busy right now and can’t talk on the phone.”
“Emergency situation. A supernatural event has occurred in Dachang City; it’s confirmed. It’s the Ghost Door Knocker incident that you’ve encountered before. We need your assistance on this matter and hope you can rush to Shengli Road, Rose Bar in Dachang City to provide support,” Liu Xiaoyu said.
“Wait, wait a moment.”
Yang Jian said, “Aren’t the supernatural events in Dachang City taken care of by Zhao Kaiming? When did it become my responsibility?”
“Zhao Kaiming has already been dragged into this event, and now the situation is critical, he has lost contact, his operators cannot determine whether he’s alive or dead, so I have no choice but to entrust you with this supernatural event. After all, you have experience dealing with the Door Knocking Ghost case,” Liu Xiaoyu said.
Zhao Kaiming was involved in the Door Knocking Ghost case?
