Chapter 20: Mission

After the meeting ended, it was already past ten o'clock at night.

Chen Shoushan alone found Wang Xiaoming to chat: "Professor Wang, do you have any clues about the parasitic method of the Ghost Infant?"

Wang Xiaoming slightly raised his head to look at Chen Shoushan and said: "Based on the patients in the hospital, I suspect it is related to the wound; when the wound contacts the gloom in the Ghost Realm, the Ghost Infant is born within the host."

"Don't worry, this situation only occurs in ordinary people; Ghost Masters possess other spiritual powers, so they are not easily parasitized by Ghost Infants."

Chen Shoushan nodded thoughtfully; there were only seven or eight Ghost Infants on the top floor of Shang Tong Building, which exactly matched the number of injured security officers.

"Professor Wang, if your speculation is correct, there should also be a precondition! It must be a living person! A dead corpse cannot nurture a Ghost Infant."

Among the corpses of mercenaries and security officers who died in Shang Tong Building, no Ghost Infants were nurtured.

"Compared to that, I am more worried about the current person in charge of Dachangshi, Zhao Kai Ming!"

Wang Xiaoming stared at Chen Shoushan and said.

"The Starving Ghost openly killed people in Dachangshi for a month; as the person in charge of Dachangshi, he could not possibly be unaware, yet he actually failed to report this supernatural incident to headquarters—this is a serious problem!"

Chen Shoushan nodded with an expression of agreement.

Although Wang Xiaoming was somewhat doubtful that Chen Shoushan didn't seem very surprised, he continued: "I suspect he may know where the Starving Ghost is hiding somewhere in the west city, but he deliberately concealed it to achieve some goal, so I want to find someone to secretly follow him and locate the Starving Ghost's hideout!"

"Is the person Professor Wang wants to find not me? Just because I happened to come to his door?"

Chen Shoushan pointed at himself and laughed.

"Exactly! Because you are not a local of Dachangshi, I worry that Zhao Kai Ming may still have accomplices in Dachangshi; Yang Jian is actually not bad—he and Zhao Kai Ming themselves have a conflict—but I fear that if he follows him, he will find an excuse to eliminate Zhao Kai Ming."

Wang Xiaoming explained, Yang Jian's violent temperament also gave him a headache; otherwise, Yang Jian, who possesses the Ghost Realm, would be more suitable for tailing.

"This can also be considered an opportunity to earn merit; by then, your resistance to entering headquarters and becoming the person in charge will be much less! And I will privately give you some laboratory products as repayment for saving my brother."

」Good! 「

Chen Shoushan nodded, not refusing Wang Xiaoming's empty check; he knew where the Starving Ghost was! So this mission is basically not difficult—when the time comes, he just needs to tell Wang Xiaoming where the Starving Ghost is, which is like getting something for free.

Wang Xiaoming was somewhat surprised; he thought Chen Shoushan would haggle with him, but instead he was unusually straightforward.

Although Chen Shoushan knew the Starving Ghost was hidden in the Seventh Middle School in the west city, it was not yet the time to tell Wang Xiaoming, because although the Starving Ghost had not yet reached its peak in the original work, it was also not something this ragtag bunch could handle, let alone with Zhao Kai Ming, that two-faced traitor, present.

After all, even Ye Feng, who controlled two ghosts in the original work, couldn't withstand the Ghost Infant's gang attack, let alone others; only Yang Jian, who possesses the Ghost Realm, can evade the many ghost servants and have a chance to duel the Starving Ghost one-on-one—others going there would just die pointlessly.

Moreover, Yang Jian has not yet hanged himself before the Ghost Mirror, nor has he caused the Headless Ghost to crash, so Chen Shoushan did not directly reveal the Starving Ghost's address.

That night, everyone went their separate ways; since they were all natives of Dachangshi, they naturally had places to stay.

At the club entrance, Yang Jian leaned against the car, saw Chen Shoushan come out and waved; Chen Shoushan, not being a local of Dachangshi, naturally had no place to stay, while Yang Jian enthusiastically offered to arrange it, and Chen Shoushan did not refuse.

Originally Ye Feng also wanted to arrange it, but seeing Yang Jian think it over, he still gave up; after the meeting ended, he greeted Chen Shoushan and hurriedly left, who knows if Yang Jian would suddenly attack him?

"What did you talk about with Wang Xiaoming? Of course, if it involves secrets, then forget it."

Yang Jian in the driver's seat did not hide his curiosity and directly asked.

"Professor Wang suspects Zhao Kai Ming has a problem, and he asked me to keep an eye on him!"

Chen Shoushan in the passenger seat also did not conceal it and plainly said.

"Sincerity is the ultimate killer move forever! Yang Jian was completely taken aback all at once."

Yang Jian fell silent for a moment, then laughed and said: "Damn, this isn't even involving secrets? However, that old bastard Zhao Kai Ming indeed has a problem!"

After another moment of silence, Yang Jian then said: "If there's anything you need help with, tell me and I'll do my best to assist you! I always feel that the ghosts Zhao Kai Ming controls are not ordinary."

Obviously, Chen Shoushan's lack of concealment greatly increased Yang Jian's favorability; not concealing what? It shows Chen Shoushan treats himself as one of us!

"If there is a need, I will."

Chen Shoushan also did not refuse Yang Jian's goodwill.

The car drove for about twenty minutes into a residential community; this community differed from others, with lights brightly lit, obviously much brighter than elsewhere, and many construction crews were rushing to work, making it look bustling.

A middle-aged man with a big belly, upon seeing Yang Jian's car, hurried over.

"Yang Jian! You're back!"

Yang Jian also rolled down the car window: "Uncle Zhang, has anyone delivered a batch of gold?"

"Yes, yes, just a short while ago a squad of security officers drove over and delivered a batch of gold; I told them to put it in your villa."

Zhang Xiangui hurriedly replied.

Chen Shoushan beside him also knew who this person was: Zhang Xiangui, the richest man in Dachangshi! A real estate tycoon in Dachangshi, a well-known figure in Huaguo, and also the father of Zhang Wei.

"Good, then trouble Uncle Zhang: find professionals to melt that batch of gold and make it into a safe house; Dachangshi may soon undergo a change, so we also need to make some preparations! And what about Zhang Wei?"

"No trouble, no trouble, rest assured Uncle Zhang I will definitely find the best people to do this; Zhang Wei that good-for-nothing stays home all day streaming and playing games, doesn't care a bit—truly, people compare themselves to others and get angry to death."

Upon hearing the words 'we' in Yang Jian's speech, Zhang Xiangui immediately burst into a grin that he couldn't contain; this shows Yang Jian hasn't forgotten the Zhang family, but mentioning Zhang Wei makes him furious.

Yang Jian laughed: "These times are so chaotic; Zhang Wei staying at home is fine, running around everywhere easily causes trouble! By the way, this is my friend Chen Shoushan; isn't there still an unused villa near my villa? Have someone clean it up! He can stay temporarily."

"No problem, I'll arrange this right away! Whether temporary or not, I'll directly give the villa to Brother Chen!"

Zhang Xiangui directly, being wealthy and generous, expressed his intention to give the villa to Chen Shoushan; anyone who can befriend Yang Jian is surely his kind, and Zhang Xiangui certainly won't miss the opportunity to get on good terms with him.

This both gives Yang Jian face and provides an opportunity to befriend Chen Shoushan; Zhang Xiangui certainly won't let it pass.

"Then it's trouble, Uncle Zhang!"

Chen Shoushan also did not refuse Zhang Xiangui's goodwill.

Upon hearing Chen Shoushan also call him Uncle Zhang, Zhang Xiangui laughed even happier.
