"What's wrong? Is there something you need from me?" Yuan Mu Ye asked.

"Indeed, there are some things. Tell me quickly, where are you right now?"

"The hotel."

Yuan Mu Ye didn't waste any words.

"What? I'm at the hotel too. I went to your room earlier, but you weren't there."

"Anyway, I'm in the hotel lobby now. Come on over," Yuan Mu Ye said, ending the call.

After about a minute, Jiang Lan ran in from outside. Her complexion had mostly returned to normal, but a hint of anxiety still lingered on her face.

Seeing Yuan Mu Ye standing there, seemingly unharmed, Jiang Lan completely relaxed.

"Did something happen to you last night, Yuan Mu Ye?"

She asked, still worried.

"Don't worry, nothing happened. Even if something did, I definitely took care of it. You know my strength," Yuan Mu Ye said casually.

He was very relaxed.

Seeing Yuan Mu Ye like this, Jiang Lan said, "It's good that you're okay."

"Yeah, I'll give Director He a call to see what he wants."

It was already dark, around seven in the evening.

At seven o'clock, the provincial capital was still a city that never sleeps.

The call went through, and after a while, it was answered. Director He's voice was very steady as he asked Yuan Mu Ye, "Section Chief Yuan, are you alright?"

"Don't worry, Director, everything is normal."

"Good, that's good. Come to the headquarters now, there's something to discuss with you."

Director He's voice was very calm, without any hint of emotion.

Yuan Mu Ye glanced at Jiang Lan beside him and said, "Secretary Jiang is here too. How about we go together?"

He sought Director He's opinion.

But to Yuan Mu Ye's surprise, Director He didn't immediately agree. Instead, he asked, "Section Chief Yuan, were you with Secretary Jiang last night?"

Yuan Mu Ye was stunned for a few seconds, not expecting Director He to say that.

He quickly reacted, "No, Director He, we just..."

Before Yuan Mu Ye could finish, Director He interrupted him, saying, "It's okay, Section Chief Yuan, you don't need to explain. Actually, this is a good thing, you young people..."

Yuan Mu Ye: "..."

This was about to cause a huge misunderstanding.

Naturally, Yuan Mu Ye didn't want to continue on that topic.

He quickly changed the subject, "Director He, I'll talk about it when I get there."

He hung up the phone.

Jiang Lan, who was beside him, noticed that Yuan Mu Ye's expression seemed a little unnatural, so she asked, "Are you okay, Yuan Mu Ye?"

"I'm fine, don't worry."

The two of them started heading towards the headquarters.

It wasn't far from the main hospital.

After about ten minutes, they arrived. Director He was waiting for them at the entrance, and a smile appeared on his face when he saw them.

"Secretary Jiang, Section Chief Yuan."

"Director He."

The three greeted each other.

Yuan Mu Ye noticed that Director He's gaze towards him was a little strange, which made him feel somewhat awkward, so he asked, "Director He, has something happened?"

"Yes, something has happened."

"What is it?"

Before Director He could answer, Jiang Lan said, "Section Chief Li died last night."

Hearing this, Yuan Mu Ye's expression changed slightly.

Section Chief Li's strength was decent, but not particularly strong.

His death wasn't too surprising, considering that even Yuan Mu Ye had to avoid the opponent's attacks when they fought last night.

Apart from being a bit arrogant, Section Chief Li might not have had any real skills.

"So, is the headquarters even more furious now?" Yuan Mu Ye said calmly.

"You're right, the provincial capital's headquarters is extremely angry now, vowing to kill this evil ghost," Jiang Lan said.

"Have you considered that there might be more than one evil ghost? There might be several," Yuan Mu Ye suddenly said.

This sentence immediately attracted the attention of the other two.

Their gazes fell on Yuan Mu Ye, waiting for him to elaborate. Yuan Mu Ye didn't delay and quickly said, "After I sent Secretary Jiang home, I was ambushed by evil ghosts on my way back. There wasn't just one, there were four."

Yuan Mu Ye's words also served as an explanation for not being with Secretary Jiang last night.

It was to prevent Director He from misunderstanding.

"Four?"

Director He's expression suddenly became a few degrees more serious.

"There might be more than four, and these evil ghosts are quite strong, at least seventh-level evil ghosts."

Hearing this, Director He couldn't stand still any longer and hurried inside, saying as he walked, "Let's talk inside. There will be an important meeting later."

Yuan Mu Ye had undoubtedly brought important news.

It might change the headquarters' plans and make them pay more attention to this operation.

It could reduce some unnecessary casualties.

Arriving at the conference room, Yuan Mu Ye clearly felt that this meeting was extraordinary.

Director Wei, Deputy Director Liao, and two other people Yuan Mu Ye didn't recognize were present.

No section chiefs were participating in this meeting.

This was enough to show the importance of the meeting.

The atmosphere inside was somewhat oppressive.

Director Wei naturally disliked Yuan Mu Ye, so he didn't even give Yuan Mu Ye a proper look when he came in.

Deputy Director Liao was friendlier to Yuan Mu Ye and gave him a friendly look.

After taking a seat, Director He stood up and said, "Section Chief Yuan has brought us important news."

The others couldn't help but ask, "What news?"

"Section Chief Yuan, you tell them," Director He said to Yuan Mu Ye.

Yuan Mu Ye didn't hesitate and briefly explained what had happened. Of course, Yuan Mu Ye didn't say that he had already killed an evil ghost.

It was to avoid causing unnecessary trouble for himself.

Moreover, Yuan Mu Ye had also realized that these evil ghosts were definitely not easy to deal with.

If he stayed here, he would be constantly held back.

Then he wouldn't have time to accompany Liang Sen Yu to his mother's birthday.

So now he wanted to withdraw from here. After he finished speaking, the expressions of the others also became serious, and they asked Yuan Mu Ye, "Is the information accurate?"

"One hundred percent certain," Yuan Mu Ye said.

"What are their characteristics?"

"They attach themselves to living people, and their auras can basically merge with the living, so there's not much difference. I didn't even notice it at the time," Yuan Mu Ye said truthfully.
