Chapter 2061: Ghostly Being
"Mr. Long, how did it go? Did the other party agree to meet with you?"
As soon as Long Qie hung up the phone, Zhang Xin, standing beside him, couldn’t help but ask.
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Long Qie’s face, and he nodded, saying, "He already agreed to meet with me. He asked me to meet him at ten o’clock tonight at Yanhuang Mountain in the western suburbs."
"By the way, what kind of place is Yanhuang Mountain?"
"Yanhuang Mountain is a peak near Yun Chuan. It’s quite secluded, and generally, very few people go there," Zhang Xin paused for a moment before he couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Long, do you need us to accompany you there tonight?"
Long Qie shook his head and said, "No need, not only do I not need you to accompany me, I won’t even show up myself."
"Ah? Why is that?" Zhang Xin’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.
Long Qie laughed and said, "The reason is simple. If I personally go, showing my face will definitely expose me. Since the other party dared to choose Yanhuang Mountain for our meeting, it means that Yanhuang Mountain is definitely not their gathering point."
"If my identity is exposed, then the plan to lure them out loses its original purpose."
"We tricked him into coming out just to find the gathering point of the Ghost Raising Family through him."
"I understand, but you’ve already arranged to meet him. Who should we send to meet him tonight?" Zhang Xin couldn’t help but furrow his brows and ask.
"Isn’t that simple? Just pick someone randomly to go, remember the cultivation level shouldn’t be too high, being a second-rate expert is enough," Long Qie said. "Because if the level is too high, it will definitely arouse the other party’s suspicion."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xin quickly nodded and said, "I understand, I’ll prepare right away."
After saying that, he turned and left.
The others then dispersed as well.
Once Long Qie was alone in the conference room, he pulled out his phone and dialed Xiao Zheng’s number.
Xiao Zheng was feeling bored at the time, playing computer games in his office.
Seeing it was a call from Long Qie, he promptly closed the game and answered the phone, "Long Qie? Shouldn’t you be investigating the Ghost Raising Family now? How come you have time to call me?"
"Mr. Xiao, I’m calling to report some good news!" Long Qie’s tone showed a hint of excitement.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng got interested and asked, "Could it be you’ve found clues about the Ghost Raising Family?"
"Yes, and the people from the Ghost Raising Family contacted me actively..." Long Qie quickly relayed what just happened to Xiao Zheng.
After learning the whole story, Xiao Zheng’s heart was filled with emotion.
He hadn’t expected the investigation to take such a twist.
Despite all the people of Sky Net searching for information on the Ghost Raising Family, they never found anything. And yet this impasse was broken by a small piece of paper Long Qie placed in the Yama Temple twenty days ago.
This really is...
Xiao Zheng shook his head, momentarily at a loss for words.
"Mr. Xiao, are you still listening?"
From the phone again came Long Qie’s voice.
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng finally returned to his senses and quickly said, "I’m still here, go on. The Ghost Raising Family is meeting you tonight at Yanhuang Mountain, what are your plans afterward?"
Upon hearing his question, Long Qie directly said, "I’ll first let someone go under the fake identity of Chu Xuan to meet him, then I’ll personally hide in the shadows and observe. Once they’ve finished, I’ll track the person from the Ghost Raising Family they sent to meet."
"I believe as long as we follow him, we’ll surely find the gathering point of the Ghost Raising Family!"
Xiao Zheng didn’t find anything wrong with his plan.
After nodding, Xiao Zheng said, "Your plan seems fine, but remember not to reveal any flaws. The Ghost Raising Family is always very cautious, any small slip can draw their suspicion."
"Rest assured, I know clearly what to do," Long Qie said.
"As long as you’re aware, I’ll be coming to Yun Chuan tomorrow to join you," Xiao Zheng replied slowly.
Upon hearing this, Long Qie was taken aback: "What? Mr. Xiao, you want to come to Yun Chuan too? Shouldn’t we be able to handle the Ghost Raising Family without needing you to step in? Let me handle it."
"If you really think the Ghost Raising Family is easy to deal with, you’re terribly mistaken," Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
His mind again conjured the image of a Hungry Ghost.
Since the Ghost Raising Family can cultivate such a ghostly creature, there must be other powerful ghosts. In the initial confrontation with the Hungry Ghost, even Xiao Zheng himself almost fell victim.
Although it was only because Xiao Zheng let his guard down, it was enough to show the Hungry Ghost’s danger.
Xiao Zheng doesn’t want a little carelessness and underestimation to lead to the failure of the whole plan.
"Just listen to me. I’ll come to meet you tomorrow," Xiao Zheng said slowly, "Make sure not to act rashly alone, wait for me before taking action."
Although Long Qie’s heart felt he was making too much of it, he eventually nodded and said, "Alright, I got it, I promise not to act individually, and we’ll move together once you reach Yun Chuan."
"Okay, then you go get busy," Xiao Zheng said, "Make sure tonight’s arrangements are perfect, without any slip-ups."
He couldn’t help but remind him once more.
Long Qie agreed with a smile and then hung up the phone.
Until the call ended, it took about ten minutes for his excited emotions to slowly calm down. Now he felt like he was about to see the light after the clouds, realizing the efforts of these many days were finally not in vain.
"Now let’s wait for night to fall!"
Long Qie looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky, filled with anticipation.
Finally, the night arrived.
At around eight o’clock in the evening, Long Qie and the others gathered together.
Zhang Xin had already chosen a brother whose voice was very similar to Long Qie’s, and whose cultivation realm matched Long Qie’s requirements.
After sizing up this brother, Long Qie was very satisfied and said, "No problem, you’re the one. Zhang Xin has briefed you on the task, from now on you’re Chu Xuan, a wealthy merchant from the south, remember not to blow your cover."
"Make sure you play the part well, so the other party doesn’t suspect you."
The brother, whose real name was Zhao Gang, responded with a determined expression: "Please rest assured, Mr. Long, I promise I’ll complete the task successfully! I will not betray the trust the organization has placed in me!"
Long Qie was very pleased with his attitude, "Great, we need that spirit. Since we’ve decided on the person, let’s head out now!"
With that, Long Qie left the Yunchuan Branch, taking Zhao Gang along!
