Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

Soon, Zhao Xun called to say that everything had been arranged.

Since Xu Sandao had just undergone surgery and needed to leave Yanjing overnight, the Thirteenth Bureau provided them with several vans, and the group, along with several security personnel, headed to Tianhai.

Xu Sandao's meager belongings, including the safe, were taken away along with the other items.

There was no time to say goodbye to Zhang Cheng.

Chen Ji and Du Tingfeng both felt somewhat guilty, but the situation was urgent, and staying in Yanjing would only bring harm and no benefit. They could only wait until things settled down before contacting each other again. Fortunately, both sides had each other's contact information.

In the vast darkness of night.

Zhao Xun was helping Yun Yuan carry Xu Sandao's stretcher to the back of the car, where a medical worker was already waiting.

He closed the car door and walked towards Chen Ji.

"Thank you."

Chen Ji said softly, looking at Zhao Xun with a hint of emotion in his eyes.

When they met again, both sides were completely different from those in the Three Monkeys Domain.

Zhao Xun shared the same feeling and patted him on the shoulder. The black-haired boy in front of him had a calm expression, but his brows were always slightly furrowed, as if he was always worried and anxious.

"You don't need to worry about Zhang Cheng."

Zhao Xun said, his voice sounding somewhat tired: "According to what you said, Bat shouldn't know who he is, but just in case, he'd better keep in close contact with the bureau."

His idea was to make Zhang Cheng an unofficial member of the Thirteenth Bureau, just like Tian Qinghe did at the beginning. After all, the amount of information the other party knew was too great, and it was impossible for him to completely return to the life of an ordinary person.

It is obvious that Chen Yuetan had already informed the bureau about the "doomsday" in the tomb, and now the internal staff of the Thirteenth Bureau know more or less about the situation.

Chen Ji nodded. At this time, having the government as a backer was undoubtedly the safest option for Zhang Cheng.

"Have a safe trip."

Zhao Xun spoke softly and helped Chen Ji into the car.

Several cars slowly drove into the night, gradually disappearing into the vast road ahead. Zhao Xun couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.

Many friends and teammates who had ventured into the domain together died time and again, their lives fleeting like fireworks.

At least... there's still one old friend who's doing well.

Thinking of the notice issued by the bureau a few days ago, a look of confusion flashed in Zhao Xun's eyes.

In the end, he simply sighed silently and murmured to himself again, as if in prayer:

May your journey be safe.

......

The journey was uneventful, and at 9:00 AM, the convoy arrived in Tianhai.

Chen Ji slowly opened his eyes, looking at the familiar street scene outside the window. He was finally home.

Of the four, Liu Zi and Du Tingfeng returned to the Du family first, and Fei'er was also sent back. After a long journey overnight, everyone was exhausted.

The convoy then headed towards the headquarters of the 13th Bureau.

Xu Sandao was taken to the internal treatment room for care, accompanied by Yun Yuan.

After settling everything in, Chen Ji pushed open the door to the treatment room and was taken aback.

A familiar figure was sitting on a chair outside, his two short legs dangling in the air, and one eye was wrapped in gauze.

It's Wusu!

"Why are you here?"

Chen Ji asked, looking around. There was no one else nearby, only Wu Su sitting outside.

"Wait for you."

Wusu yawned. "My mom said that once you're done with your work here, she'll ask me to take you to meet him."

Chen Ji's heart stirred slightly. He knew Chen Yuetan was in the bureau, but he hadn't shown up...

Are you bothered by something?

"Who came looking for him?"

Chen Ji asked.

Wusu pointed to his eyes, pursed his lips, and put his hands in his pockets, displaying a cold and arrogant demeanor that seemed extremely incongruous with his small stature.

But this scene would be perfectly suited to another person...

“Kui Gu”.

Chen Ji couldn't help but chuckle, "Does he know you're imitating him like this?"

Usu nodded.

He remained in that position, swaying and staggering as he led Chen Ji toward the reception room of the Thirteenth Bureau.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and a person walked out with their hands in their pockets.

He looked at Chen Ji, or rather, at Wu Su next to Chen Ji. His previously indifferent expression immediately cracked, and his hand swiftly reached into his pocket.

"meet again."

Chen Ji coughed lightly: "Is your coach inside?"

Kui Gu gave a mumbled reply, and then a loud, booming laugh came from inside the house, followed by a powerful shout:

"Chen Ji?"

Kui Gu tilted his head, gesturing for him to go inside.

"Bull," Bull Gold Bull... Chen Ji seemed to be deep in thought. This person was the company's sinister director, and the fact that he could be invited to the Thirteenth Bureau made his attitude very clear.

Without saying much, Chen Ji tried to wink at Wu Su, but the boy was making faces at Wei Gu and didn't notice anything amiss.

Catching a glimpse of Wei Gu's cold gaze out of the corner of his eye, Chen Ji immediately went inside.

As soon as he entered, he saw "Niu Jinniu"!

The other party was simply too conspicuous, and did not match his impression of a company director at all!

The man was dressed in a plain linen shirt, his body was as strong as an old ox, and his face was extremely ruddy, but his hair was completely white. At a glance, Chen Ji no longer had any doubts about "Niu Jinniu" opening a martial arts school.

An elderly woman, dressed simply, sat beside him.

"Just as I imagined!"

Niu Jinniu had a loud voice, and his gaze toward Chen Ji revealed a hint of appreciation. He turned around and clicked his tongue at Chen Yuetan, saying, "What a pity, it would have been better if you hadn't been able to come out of the domain."

Chen Ji: "?"

"I'm sorry," the old woman smiled kindly. "He meant no harm."

After the introduction, Chen Ji was surprised to find that the old woman's name was Zhuang Xiubi, and she was actually one of the directors of Yang. She and Niu Jinniu were closely linked.

Zhuang Xiubi showed no signs of being transformed into a ghost.

And it's impossible to tell that he is Director Yang.

To be honest, she was no different from the old woman downstairs from Chen Ji who went to the market to buy vegetables every morning.

Not much to say.

Niu Jinniu stated bluntly:

"It was Yang Yu's idea to recruit you into the company."

"You should be able to see it yourself. Su Qiuyue and Tang Qin have fundamentally different goals. This is actually because the company is divided into two factions regarding how to deal with your situation."

"One faction is led by Wan Yaohong, and the other faction is led by Yang Yu. We are more inclined to side with Yang Yu."

Wan Yaohong?

Chen Ji frowned: "Didn't Zeng Guichuan want me dead?"

Niu Jinniu smiled slightly: "It's him."

"But you should know that, at least before, the relationship between Wan Yaohong and Zeng Guichuan was so close that no one else could compare."

Before that.....

Chen Ji's eyes flickered slightly.

Zhuang Xiubi continued, "Zeng Guichuan was able to reach this level in just over a decade thanks entirely to Wan Yaohong's financial support."

"At least I heard about their collaboration back in the early 2000s."
