"Then how do we stop all this from happening?" Jiang Cheng asked, "I mean, after finding the person chosen by the blood contract, is there any way to peel out..."

"There is no way." Gong Zhe's voice came from the other end of the phone, "The only thing that can be done is to execute him before a bigger crisis erupts."

"I see, sounds pretty straightforward." Jiang Cheng said in an indifferent tone, then changed the subject, "How's the fat guy's background check coming along?"

"He's fine, my people have verified his identity." Gong Zhe said, "What's problematic is his memory. Simply put, his current identity is something he's fantasized."

"Multiple personalities?" Jiang Cheng had suspected this before.

"Sort of, but not as complicated as you think." Gong Zhe explained, "He must have suffered some kind of stimulation to become like this. The relevant information about him has been compiled and can be sent to you together if needed."

In any case, the fact that the fat guy was okay was definitely good news. The two agreed that Gong Zhe would send the fat guy back as soon as possible.

Jiang Cheng also let the woman and her companion leave as agreed.

When only Jiang Cheng and Huai Yi were left in the room, the latter couldn't wait to come over and ask, "Brother Jiang, who was that calling you just now? He sounds very powerful."

"A big shot in the Night Watch." Jiang Cheng said casually.

"Holy shit!" Huai Yi was immediately shocked, "You guys from Scarlet have connections with the Night Watch?"

Jiang Cheng glanced at Huai Yi, dusted off non-existent dust from his shoulder, and said, "Little Huai, remember, the martial world isn't just about fighting, it's about relationships and worldly wisdom."

The more Huai Yi thought about it, the more profound he found this sentence, and the way he looked at Jiang Cheng became more admiring.

The matter had been resolved, and Jiang Cheng told Huai Yi to stay here for the night, while he left first, taking the other phone in the bathroom before leaving.

The words Jiang Cheng said when the woman came in were a recording played on the phone.

Back at the studio, Jiang Cheng didn't look as calm as he seemed. He sat alone on the sofa, with a faint smell of blood still floating in the air.

There was no doubt that the ghost had chosen Lin Wan'er as its new vessel.

He didn't believe there was no solution, so he planned to enter the paranormal event again to find answers. Although it might not be useful, it was better than doing nothing.

He would find a paranormal event on the website provided by Huai Yi, and this time, in order to reduce internal friction in the team, Jiang Cheng planned to go as a group.

Lin Wan'er must be brought along, after all, it was to solve the hidden dangers on her, and the fat guy had to be brought along as well. Huai Yi seemed like a good guy too.

In addition, he thought of someone else, Chen Qiang, who he met in the ancient world last time.

Although that person was young, he was calm, clear-headed, and knew how to assess the situation. After leaving the ancient world, Jiang Cheng had someone verify his identity, and there shouldn't be any problems.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng took out his phone, sent a WeChat message to Pi Ruan, and then went to sleep.

When he woke up, it was already broad daylight. He first called Lin Wan'er, who sounded like she had fully recovered and was busy with her own affairs.

She had no memory of what had happened not long ago, and Jiang Cheng naturally wouldn't take the initiative to mention it, but just told her to take care of herself.

Opening WeChat, Jiang Cheng was surprised to find that the WeChat message he sent last night was still lying there quietly, and Pi Ruan hadn't replied.

He had known Pi Ruan for several years since they met, and this was the first time this had happened.

Thinking of what Lin Wan'er said about Pi Ruan being sick, Jiang Cheng didn't call Pi Ruan again, but went directly to his company.

Outside the office door, Jiang Cheng ran into a young woman in a white shirt and professional skirt, walking in a hurry.

It was Pi Ruan's secretary, Miss Lin.

Seeing Jiang Cheng, Miss Lin's originally haggard face lit up, "Dr. Jiang, what brings you here?"

"I'm here to see Pi Ruan." Jiang Cheng said, "I heard he's sick."

Hearing this, Miss Lin's eyes dimmed, "Dr. Jiang, President Pi is not doing well now. He's being forced into a dead end."

"What's going on?"

"It's Mr. Xue's family. They've been making trouble every day recently, saying there are problems with the company's accounts, wanting to take back President Pi's authority and kick him out of the board of directors." Miss Lin whispered, "President Pi's mansion has been taken back, and his bank cards have been frozen. Even so, those people don't plan to let him go. They've also spread the word that they will join forces to sue him, demanding that he return all the money he's spent over the years, otherwise they'll send him to jail."

Jiang Cheng frowned and said, "What about Xue Jinhua? Didn't she stand up for Pi Ruan?"

Xue Jinhua was Pi Ruan's girlfriend, who turned 80 this year. Not long ago, Jiang Cheng was invited to her birthday banquet. It was through Jiang Cheng's connection that the two got together.

"President Xue said she's not feeling well and has gone overseas for treatment. She can't be reached by phone." Miss Lin pouted, seemingly hinting at something.

Jiang Cheng immediately understood that they were preparing to abandon him after he had served his purpose. Xue Jinhua was tired of playing with him and was preparing to kick Pi Ruan away.

What company accounts problems were just a smokescreen.

The relationship had faded, and they broke up amicably. This was not a big deal. Jiang Cheng didn't believe that Pi Ruan had any real feelings for Xue Jinhua.

But Xue Jinhua was wrong to be so greedy. It was one thing not to compensate him, but she even wanted Pi Ruan to make up for his previous expenses.

His bank cards, luxury cars, and mansions had all been frozen. Where would he get the money?

Wasn't this forcing him to death?

At the same time, he suddenly remembered that Pi Ruan had approached him not long ago about Xue Jinhua's assets. At that time, Jiang Cheng had even lectured Pi Ruan about it.

Thinking about it now, Pi Ruan probably smelled the crisis at that time.

"Dr. Jiang, you must help President Pi." Miss Lin's eyes were red. Her relationship with Pi Ruan was subtle, and anyone with discerning eyes could see it. "Even the hotel you stayed at last night was something President Pi secretly begged their manager for, spending his own money."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng's pupils shrank. Pi Ruan had shares in the Golden Sail Hotel, which was why Jiang Cheng asked him to help arrange it.

Jiang Cheng was silent for a moment and looked at Miss Lin, "Why didn't you call me when something like this happened?"

"I wanted to call you, but President Pi wouldn't let me." Miss Lin quickly explained.

Jiang Cheng nodded, "Okay, I understand. Go ahead and get back to work."

After saying that, Jiang Cheng ignored Miss Lin, turned around, took a few quick steps, and pushed open the office door.

Jiang Cheng had been to Pi Ruan's office before. It was luxurious and extravagant, but now, the floor was covered with broken pieces of paper and shattered porcelain, making it look chaotic.

Pi Ruan was sitting at his desk, with a bandage wrapped around his head, looking at a piece of paper with a worried expression. Without thinking, it must be a final notice or something.
