My beautiful CEO wife

"All those living in Xiangnan, especially the elders, have heard more or less some rumors about the Ghost Raising Family."

"The legend of corpse transportation in Xiangnan, Mr. Long, you must have heard of it too?"

Zhang Xin asked.

Hearing this, Long Qie nodded and said, "Of course I have heard of it; Cloud Border Gu Poison, Xiangnan corpse transportation, these are legends passed down through generations in Huaxia. But what is the connection between Xiangnan’s corpse transportation and the Ghost Raising Family?"

"There is a definite connection between them, and a very deep one too," Zhang Xin began, "In fact, the Ghost Raising Family is what used to be the Xiangnan Corpse Chasing Sect; they are directly descended."

"In ancient times, when wars were frequent, so as to allow the fallen leaves to return to their roots, a group of extraordinary and esoteric individuals gathered together and established the Corpse Chasing Sect. They specialized in transporting corpses to earn vast wealth."

"Legend has it they could converse with corpses and were well-versed in the ways of ghosts and gods. However, as times changed, transportation became so advanced, and we entered an era of peace, that by last century, the Corpse Chasing Sect gradually declined."

"The Ghost Raising Family emerged from this decline."

"Because transporting corpses gradually ceased to be profitable, a group of craftsmen unwilling to change occupations gathered together and formed the Ghost Raising Family, akin to an assassination organization, specializing in taking on tasks involving murder and intimidation."

After hearing Zhang Xin’s account, Long Qie gained a preliminary understanding of the Ghost Raising Family.

Nodding slightly, Long Qie couldn’t resist asking, "Do you know where we might find people from the Ghost Raising Family?"

"That’s truly challenging," Zhang Xin first chuckled bitterly before saying, "Although the Ghost Raising Family rose in Xiangnan, they do not have a fixed home but roam from place to place, only appearing when a mission arises."

"If there is no mission, they are actually no different from ordinary people, hiding in plain sight."

Upon hearing this, Long Qie couldn’t help but furrow his brows: "Does that mean they are just like the Demon God Sect members? This is really tricky, unless we just wait for the Ghost Raising Family to show themselves?"

"That’s not necessarily true; actually, there is still a chance to locate people from the Ghost Raising Family," Zhang Xin said, "In Xiangnan, there are many Yama Temples scattered around, which used to be resting places for the Corpse Chasing Sect along the way, but now have transformed into spots where the Ghost Raising Family accept missions."

"If someone wants to employ the Ghost Raising Family, they need only write the task details and remuneration on a piece of white paper and leave it in a Yama Temple. After a few days, members from the Ghost Raising Family will come to collect the note."

"If they agree to take the mission, someone will contact you at that point."

"So what are we waiting for? Where is the nearest Yama Temple?" Long Qie asked urgently.

He had come here mainly to resolve the matter with the Ghost Raising Family.

As for the Cao Family, they weren’t worth his concern.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xin said, "Yama Temples can only be found in the outskirts or mountains; those in the city and slightly busier areas have all been demolished. The nearest Yama Temple from us now is about forty kilometers away."

"Forty kilometers? That’s not too far," Long Qie said, "Let’s do this then; we’ll lure the snake out of the hole by feigning to deliver a task to the Ghost Raising Family, tempting them to show themselves."

"Once they reveal themselves, we’ll wipe them all out!"

As he spoke these words, the air around him was already charged with murderous intent.

After Zhang Xin nodded, he immediately set about preparing.

By afternoon, Zhang Xin had dispatched a clever brother to handle this matter. Carrying the fake note, he headed to the Yama Temple over forty kilometers away, pretending to deliver a task.

Once the brother returned, Long Qie remarked, "The trap has now been set; we just wait for the Ghost Raising Family to bite."

Everyone from Sky Net began the long wait thereafter.

The wait extended to a full three days.

However, what left Long Qie slightly disappointed was the complete lack of movement from the Ghost Raising Family’s side; no one even looked at the paper left in the Yama Temple, almost as if the so-called contact point didn’t exist.

"Mr. Long, shall we wait a couple more days?" Zhang Xin looked at Long Qie, probing.

Upon hearing this, Long Qie shook his head and said, "Forget it, we can’t continue waiting. The Ghost Raising Family might have time, but I don’t have time to keep biding here."

Currently, with Xiao Zheng playing hands-off manager, all major and minor matters of Sky Net piled onto him alone.

Long Qie had already wasted three entire days here; waiting longer could lead to chaos back at headquarters.

With this realization, Long Qie decided to return.

But before leaving, he couldn’t help but give Zhang Xin a word: "Keep watching the Yama Temple; if the Ghost Raising Family contacts you, remember not to expose yourself, stabilize them first, and contact me immediately."

"Don’t worry, leave it to me!" Zhang Xin said earnestly, patting his chest.

Long Qie felt assured in Zhang Xin’s ability to handle it.

After saying goodbye, Long Qie and his brothers boarded the flight back.

A hour and a half later, nearing dusk, the group finally returned to Zhonghai City.

Upon disembarking, Long Qie immediately called Xiao Zheng to report on the situation.

After hearing about their experience in Xiangnan, Xiao Zheng simply laughed and said, "If you can’t find them, so be it; there’s no need to be so hung up about it. After all, the Ghost Raising Family will eventually find me. Why spend the effort looking for them?"

"I’m just worried about your safety," Long Qie replied.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng thought seriously for a moment before saying, "You certainly don’t need to worry about my safety. Here’s the plan: select a few capable and clever brothers from headquarters and have them protect Ruobing and Anna round the clock."

"With that, all will be well."

Long Qie naturally did not oppose his arrangement.

Since Xiao Zheng’s concerns were valid, their main worry now was that the Ghost Raising Family might, like before, target Xiao Zheng’s friends and family. Having experts protect Leng Ruobing and the others around the clock could ensure safety, even if the Ghost Raising Family comes strong; at worst, they could hold out till Xiao Zheng and the Sky Net brothers arrive to support.

"Alright then, I’ll sort it out as soon as I return," Long Qie said.

Xiao Zheng affirmed with a nod, and they ended the call.
