Chapter 24 Warning
The phone card was ordinary, nothing special, but Zhao Kaiming could think of its uses.

And that piece of paper
Zhao Kaiming carefully turned the paper over, ready to let go at any moment, but when he turned it over, he found that there was only one sentence written on the paper.

[To capture the ghost baby, insert the card and wait for our contact; otherwise, you will bear the consequences. This is just a warning.]

Zhao Kaiming crumpled the paper into a ball, threw it forward fiercely, and then glared menacingly at the air beside him.

"I paid the price of a loved one, and this is what you did? The other person isn't dead! And you still dare to threaten me!!"

"Damn it, say something!"

Zhao Kaiming slammed his fist on the table, his chest heaving, unable to calm down for a long time.

He sat on the sofa in silence for a long time, his expression constantly changing, before finally standing up with a gloomy look and walking out of the villa.

the next day,
After the plane from Dachang City landed in Da'an City, Wang Liang picked up his luggage and walked outside.

Before coming to Da'an City, Su Xinxi sent him a phone number via satellite phone, instructing him to call it after landing. It was the phone number of the liaison officer at headquarters in Da'an City.

He dialed the number, and it was answered after a second of ringing; it seemed as if someone was always waiting on the other end.

"Is this Mr. Wang Liang? I am Gao Yan, the liaison officer from headquarters in Da'an City. I'll be waiting for you at Exit 12 in a black Bentley with license plate number ******."

I see you.

After exiting from Exit 12, Wang Liang got into the car that had come to pick him up. The driver was a middle-aged man wearing white gloves and a neat black suit.

“Hello Mr. Wang, you can just call me Gao Yan. I am the person who assists the city's head in communicating with various departments. You can entrust me with any troublesome matters; I am very experienced.”

"Wang Liang, as you know, please take good care of me."

"I wouldn't dare. I'm just doing my duty. The safety of this city still depends on Mr. Wang's continued care. So, Mr. Wang, would you like to go directly to the company or to the accommodation arranged by headquarters?"

"company?"

"That's right. The person in charge usually has a base and office in the corresponding city. Establishing a company makes it easier for the city manager to communicate with local departments, wealthy businessmen, etc. After all, we are all in the same city, and we share the same fate."

This company was established during the tenure of its previous leader, Sun Su. He had communicated with various wealthy individuals, informing them about paranormal matters and having them invest money in the company.

After Sun Su died in a paranormal event, the company was not dissolved. The wealthy people discussed it and decided to keep it to facilitate communication with the next person in charge.

"As for the company now, apart from Sun Su's personal assets being transferred to his relatives, the other shares belonging to the person in charge have been acquired and transferred to you, giving you absolute control, including your residence in Da'an City."

Wang Liang paid no attention to the fact that he suddenly had a company, shares, and a house under his control. Looking out the car window at the scenery, he casually replied:

"Whether I have control or not is not very important. The premise of everything is that I am still alive. Sun Su is the best example."

“Yes, of course, that’s just the attitude of those wealthy businessmen.” Gao Yan’s expression remained unchanged as he smiled and echoed.

"Alright, let's go to my place in Da'an City first. We can talk about everything else when it's fully light. Send me the information about the company and the paranormal events in Da'an City to my email first, and I'll take a look."

"No problem, I'll take you to your place first." Gao Yan drove Wang Liang to a community called Shuangxi Jiayuan. Most of the houses here are townhouses, and there are some high-rise buildings around, but without exception, most of the people who live here are either rich or noble.

After Sun Su took office, the wealthy businessmen in the city all learned one thing: wherever the person in charge lived, that place was relatively safe.

With money, most of them valued their lives more, so they voluntarily provided free accommodation for all future leaders of Da'an City, and moved in themselves as well.

Wang Liang's residence here is a lakeside villa in the very center of the community, which is the best location among the villas.

After arriving here, Wang Liang bid farewell to Gao Yan and walked into the villa alone with his luggage.

This used to be the residence of Sun Su, the former head of Da'an City, but now all of Sun Su's belongings have been moved out, and all his personal bedding and daily necessities have been replaced with new ones.

This villa has four floors above ground and one floor below ground. There is also a small safe house specially built in the underground area. It was built when Sun Su was in power, but now it has benefited Wang Liang. This is why Wang Liang did not ask to exchange it for another villa.

Why wouldn't you want a free safe house?
Wang Liang went to the basement first, intending to check the situation inside the safe house.

Upon arriving at the safe house, Wang Liang noticed the lock was broken, indicating it had been forcibly opened. He frowned but still pushed open the door.

Even after entering, his brow remained furrowed, not because he saw anything strange involving the supernatural, but because there was nothing there; it was like a new safe house.

If the person in charge builds a safe house nearby, in addition to the basic refuge facilities that a safe house has, it will mainly store some more private things, such as imprisoned evil spirits, or supernatural items that have been obtained by chance.

According to records, Sun Su was in office for a total of five and a half months, which is not a short time for a ghost tamer, especially when he was in charge.

The safe house was completed two months ago. Surely there must be something inside after all this time.

Wang Liang used a satellite phone to call Su Xinxi.

"Su Xinxi, were the things that Sun Su, the previous head of Da'an City, left in his safe house taken away by headquarters?"

"Let me see, there isn't any. After Sun Su was registered as dead, headquarters originally wanted to retrieve the items in Sun Su's safe house, since there might be a golden box containing a vengeful ghost inside, and it couldn't be left unattended for a long time."

However, when the receivers arrived, they found nothing in the safe house.

Gao Yan, the liaison officer in Da'an City, said that Sun Su might be hiding those things elsewhere, which he was unaware of. He claimed it was the privacy of the person in charge, and that the matter was ultimately difficult to resolve and was simply dropped.

"When the receiver arrived, was the lock on the safe house working or broken?"

"It was intact. It took the receiver a lot of effort to break the lock on the safe house."

"understood."

Wang Liang hung up the satellite phone, shook his head, and felt that it was unlikely that Sun Su had anything good or was hiding something else; there must be something wrong here.

If Sun Su didn't hide the items elsewhere, then the things in the safe house must have been taken away before the headquarters' receiver arrived, and perhaps even replaced with a new lock.

But who took it?
Unable to deduce anything from the available information, Wang Liang temporarily put the matter aside, but kept it in mind.
