Mysterious Awakening

Chapter 204: Protect the big and protect the small

Ye Feng felt that this Yang Jian was a lunatic.

Knowing that he couldn't deal with him, and knowing that both of them would die if they continued to fight, he still didn't hesitate to provoke him.

In his eyes, this was a kind of irrational behavior.

Provocation can be directed at the weak, but not at the strong.

So when Ye Feng heard this sentence, his first reaction was that Yang Jian wanted to fight him to the death.

After becoming a Ghost Tamer, his life expectancy was already short, and he still wanted to fight with others. Wasn't this madness?

"What do you mean by that?" Ye Feng frowned deeply.

"Nothing, just the literal meaning. Just because I can't kill you today doesn't mean I won't be able to in the future. So when the day comes that I come to your doorstep, I hope you are prepared and don't accuse me of deliberately causing trouble for you." Yang Jian calmly said, "Of course, I also welcome you to make the first move against me."

"I don't mind." Ye Feng said, "So you mean... it's a fight to the death?"

"You can understand it that way." Yang Jian's eyes revealed a coldness, "If you want to provoke a conflict and then stop, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If the person who was hunted today is not you, and you want reconciliation, when you die, I will write a reconciliation letter and burn it in front of your grave. That would be considered reconciliation."

"I... understand." Ye Feng's face became even more serious.

He understood that Yang Jian was not a lunatic, but someone seeking revenge.

After all, he was a young man who couldn't swallow today's humiliation.

But thinking about it, it made sense.

As two Ghost Tamers who had tamed two ghosts, why should Yang Jian back down?

"It seems that coming here today was a mistake. If you really insist on seeking revenge against me, I can't stop you. We'll settle it in our own ways when the time comes." Ye Feng was also fearless.

He had the shroud of death on him and didn't believe that Yang Jian could kill him.

The only worry was that if he fought with this guy too many times, he would die from the resurrection of the fierce ghost.

After speaking, he gave Wang Xiaoqiang a fierce look and then turned and left.

Today, he didn't achieve his goal, but instead caused a lot of trouble.

In the future, it might not be so peaceful in Dachang City.

"Damn it, how did it come to this?" Wang Xiaoqiang also gritted his teeth, losing his previous calmness.

This time, he was also not feeling well. Not only did the operation fail, but he also offended Ye Feng.

The loss was too great.

But now was not the time to think about this.

Ye Feng had already left the scene, and he absolutely couldn't stay here any longer.

Otherwise, he might die here.

Seeing that the two people had disappeared at the end of the road, Yang Jian just watched and didn't stop them.

It wasn't that he didn't want to keep Wang Xiaoqiang, but it was not appropriate now. He couldn't kill Wang Xiaoqiang here and let the fierce ghost resurrect here. His current state was not suitable for dealing with supernatural events, and he still had the Ghost Rope to confine.

The time spent in the Ghost Domain was long enough.

"Let you live a few more days. Soon you will know how foolish your decision today was." Yang Jian thought to himself as he watched the two people quickly leave.

From beginning to end, he didn't provoke the conflict actively.

But trouble kept finding him.

In the end, it was because he wasn't strong enough.

The weak are always bullied by others for various reasons.

Why did Wang Xiaoqiang dare to come here? It was because he thought that he, as a single person without power or influence, was easy to bully.

Why did Ye Feng dare to step into this mess? It was because he thought that he could easily defeat him and didn't mind doing a favor for Wang Xiaoqiang.

Even as a Ghost Tamer, he couldn't escape the flaws of human nature.

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

After seeing the two people disappear quickly, Yang Jian turned and walked back into the Ghost Domain.

The Ghost Rope was still floating in the Ghost Domain, extremely dangerous.

But with the experience of the first confinement, Yang Jian had no difficulty in retrieving the Ghost Rope.

Looking at the dense grass ropes hanging down in the Ghost Domain, he knew that only one of them was real. Finding it and confining it would end this matter.

For an ordinary Ghost Tamer, it would be almost impossible to find it.

But when Yang Jian released the Ghost Rope earlier, he left a mark.

He left a golden thread on the rope.

This was a mark.

"Found it."

Soon, through the Ghost Eye, Yang Jian saw the real Ghost Rope through the layers of the Ghost Domain.

He once again used the Ghost Shadow to take down the Ghost Rope, then sealed it in a bag.

The event of the Ghost Rope's resurrection was once again stopped.

The crisis was resolved.

At this time, Yang Jian retracted the Ghost Domain and made a phone call to Captain Liu, "Hello, is this Captain Liu?"

"Yes, is this Yang Jian? Is there another special emergency happening?" Captain Liu immediately asked.

"I have some dead bodies here, all killed by gunmen. I have already killed them. I hope Captain Liu can come and handle it." Yang Jian said.

Captain Liu was shocked, "Okay, I'll come and handle it right away."

Gunmen killing people?

Recently, the special events in Dachang City had been giving people headaches, and now there was such a thing.

Such a heinous act must be dealt with seriously.

After reporting to the higher-ups, Captain Liu quickly led the team and rushed to Guanjiang District.

But less than ten minutes after the call.

Yang Jian's satellite positioning phone rang.

After thinking for a moment, he chose to answer.

"Is this Yang Jian?" This time, the person on the other end of the line was no longer Liu Xiaoyu, but directly Captain Zhao Jianguo.

"It's me. I didn't expect you to personally call me." Yang Jian said.

Captain Zhao Jianguo said, "What happened over there? I heard that there were firearms involved. This is definitely a premeditated action, not just a simple case of gunmen killing people.""Indeed, it's not. I don't want to hide this from you. With your abilities, you would surely find out within three days. Actually, Wang Xiaoqiang from Xiaoqiang Club in Dachang City and Ye Feng came to assassinate me today. Well, 'assassinate' might not be the right word. They wanted to get rid of me," Yang Jian said. "Unfortunately, they failed."

"What?"

Zhao Jianguo on the other end of the phone was both shocked and angry upon hearing this news.

He hadn't expected such a serious incident to occur today.

Members of the club dared to assassinate a criminal police officer in Dachang City?

Had Wang Xiaoqiang gone mad? Didn't he know what he should and shouldn't do?

"Don't worry, the higher-ups will definitely give you an explanation. I will personally handle Wang Xiaoqiang's matter," Zhao Jianguo said.

"No, I will handle it," Yang Jian replied.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jianguo sensed something was amiss. "Yang Jian, I'm also furious about the attack on you, but anger won't solve anything. Even if Wang Xiaoqiang is wrong a thousand times over, don't forget he is Wang Xiaoming's younger brother. Given his status, we have to tolerate him to some extent. You know the significant contributions Professor Wang has made. We can't target the family of a meritorious official."

He understood that if Yang Jian handled this matter, Wang Xiaoqiang would surely die.

If he handled it himself, at least he could muddle through.

"Professor Wang has indeed made significant contributions, which I don't deny. But Wang Xiaoqiang hasn't. I shouldn't be sacrificed just because of their brotherly relationship."

Yang Jian continued, "If you insist on interfering in this matter, then you'd better kill me on the spot. Otherwise, the greater Professor Wang's contributions, the greater the damage I will cause. With the frequent occurrence of supernatural events in this world, I'm already doing my best just to survive. If I have to constantly guard against assassination, then I'm sorry, I have no choice but to turn to the dark side."

Turn to the dark side?

Upon hearing these words, Zhao Jianguo's mouth twitched.

This wasn't turning to the dark side; this was a threat.

"I'm telling you this in advance because I'm just doing my duty and reporting to you. I follow the rules, but I hope you rule-makers also follow the rules. According to the regulations set by Interpol, do you know what crime a ghost controller who assassinates a criminal police officer would be charged with? Don't say you don't know; it's easy to find out," Yang Jian said.

Zhao Jianguo hesitated for a moment before replying, "Assassinating an Interpol officer, regardless of who or what organization is involved, will be charged with crimes against humanity. This crime has no commutation, only the death penalty. If it's a ghost controller, then Interpol must prioritize handling it. The handling level... is above supernatural events."

Such rules were established to ensure the survival of the criminal police.

Originally, the criminal police were risking their lives in supernatural events. If they were also subjected to human assassination, no government would allow it. If the rules were not strictly enforced, who would want to be a criminal police officer in the future?

"So, am I executing justice?" Yang Jian said, "So, I hope you, Zhao Jianguo, don't make a fundamental mistake."

"..."

Zhao Jianguo felt like he was being choked and couldn't speak.

"I'm hanging up. We'll talk next time." After making his report, Yang Jian immediately hung up the phone.

As soon as the communication was cut off, Zhao Jianguo couldn't help but vent his anger. "Damn it."

He violently threw the communication device in his hand to the ground, smashing it to pieces.

The other communication officers in the communication room all looked at Zhao Jianguo.

"Why did Wang Xiaoqiang have to provoke Yang Jian of all people? He's just causing me trouble. It would be better to ban that Xiaoqiang Club. It's a disaster waiting to happen. They even want to assassinate the criminal police. Are they trying to rebel?"

"Liu Xiaoyu, you immediately urge Sun Yi to arrive in Dachang City within a day and assist Yang Jian in his official appointment."

"Wang Xiaoqiang must die, but he must die at the hands of the criminal police department, not by Yang Jian alone."

Between protecting Wang Xiaoqiang and Yang Jian, Zhao Jianguo unhesitatingly chose to protect Yang Jian.

This had nothing to do with personal feelings; it was a decision made from a broader perspective.

What use was Wang Xiaoqiang?

Running a club, not dealing with supernatural events, always causing internal strife, and creating small factions.

Although Yang Jian was difficult to control, at least he was law-abiding and competent in dealing with supernatural events.

If they really had to sacrifice Yang Jian, the cost would indeed be too great.

Killing one to warn a hundred.

Who would dare to be a criminal police officer then?

Moreover, dealing with Wang Xiaoqiang was in accordance with the regulations, not a personal vendetta.

In terms of both emotion and reason, Zhao Jianguo had no reason to protect Wang Xiaoqiang.

But as for Wang Xiaoming... After giving his orders, Zhao Jianguo immediately turned around and left the communication room.

He also had to explain the situation to him.

The best outcome would be for Wang Xiaoming to privately protect Wang Xiaoqiang, giving Professor Wang some face, while they would fully cooperate with Yang Jian's actions.

This way, they wouldn't offend either party.

As for whether Yang Jian could successfully enforce the law, that would depend on his abilities.
