Mysterious Revival-Chapter 673 - 640: Picking Someone Up

In Dachang City's new district, nestled within a commercial and residential complex called Guanjiang Residential Complex, stood a luxurious five-story villa.

It was only dusk, the sky had not yet completely darkened, but the villa had already turned on all its lights, illuminating the vicinity like daylight, and could be seen from a distance, strikingly conspicuous.

Inside the villa.

A woman slowly descended the stairs. She appeared to be in her late twenties, wearing a long sweater dress and black high heels, with a curvaceous figure and an impressive curve outlined at her front, exuding a full-fledged femininity, her beautiful face sporting a smile.

"Jiang Yan, did you get a message from President Yang just now?" Zhang Liqin asked while walking.

Seated on the sofa, watching TV and snacking, Jiang Yan immediately checked her phone, "No, I didn't get a message from Yang Jian."

Zhang Liqin smoothed her hair near her ear and said, "I just received a message from President Yang, he asked us to pick him up from Northern City Airport before eight; he's returning from a business trip."

"What? Is that true?" Jiang Yan suddenly raised her head, visibly surprised.

"It should be true, do you need me to call and confirm?" Zhang Liqin said.

Jiang Yan quickly shook her head, "No need, it's best not to randomly call his phone. Since Yang Jian sent a text, it must be true. What time is it now? No way, I need to hurry and change my clothes. Elder Sister Qin, you go ahead and drive the car out to the front door, I'll be ready in no time."

As she spoke, she hurried back to her room.

Jiang Yan's room had been moved to the first floor, saying that in case of any special situation, she could run out faster.

"Then hurry up." Zhang Liqin called out and took the car keys to drive the luxurious SUV out of the garage.

Speaking of the car, she still felt somewhat embarrassed in her heart; back when she was a saleswoman, she had slightly deceived the car-ignorant Jiang Yan to earn a commission.

As a result, later on, the boss died, she did not receive her commission, and she lost her job.

Reflecting on that period, Zhang Liqin still felt a shiver to this day, the only luck being having met Yang Jian.

"I feel like I'm somewhat treated as a freebie that came with the car purchase," thought Zhang Liqin as she sat in the car.

Before long.

Jiang Yan came out, wearing a wool sweater, a scarf around her neck, and a short skirt, revealing a pair of straight, even beautiful legs, full of youthful vitality.

"It's winter, aren't you cold?" asked Zhang Liqin.

"Isn't there a heater in the car? Besides, I'm wearing warm tights," replied Jiang Yan confidently, as she had to dress up beautifully to pick someone up.

"Let's hurry and set off, if we're late, I'm definitely going to get scolded."

Zhang Liqin nodded and immediately departed.

Meanwhile.

The plane carrying Yang Jian had reached the skies over Dachang City and begun its descent.

Ghost Child was stuffed into a luggage bag and checked in; he was not carried at his side, as he needed to remain inconspicuous. Managing to sneakily check it in was already a good feat, and he didn't want to recklessly utilize a ghost's ability, choosing to solve problems in other ways if possible.

After getting off the plane and claiming his luggage.

Yang Jian still didn't release Ghost Child, instead carrying the luggage bag and walking out of the airport hall.

"As expected, no one came to pick me up, was the message sent too late?"

He scanned around, there were many people waiting to pick up arrivals, but none that he recognized.

"Young man, need a ride? I offer a good price." Quickly, a solicitor approached, all the while trying to forcibly take his luggage.

"What are you doing? Why are you grabbing my stuff?" Yang Jian asked.

"The car's parked right across the street. I'm just helping you with your luggage," the middle-aged man said with a grin.

"No need, I'm waiting for someone," Yang Jian declined.

"It's such a hassle waiting for people this late, in the cold, it's hard for everyone. Look, I'm already helping you with your luggage, just get in the car quickly, I'll even give you a discount," the middle-aged man insisted, not letting go of Yang Jian's luggage bag and walking forward.

He was clearly intent on making a forceful sale.

Yang Jian felt that if he got in this car, he'd surely be taken for a sucker and severely overcharged.

"This is no way to do business. I've said I'm waiting for someone, why are you walking away with my luggage?"

"Why are young people so fussy? It's just a ride. Making a bit of money off you is really not easy, I already told you I'd give you a discount. Come on, young man, just get in the car. Who you ride with doesn't matter. We're so fated, and your luggage is so heavy, it's really hard for me to carry," the middle-aged man unabashedly said, showing no intention of giving up the business proposition.

Yang Jian had no choice but to resign himself to taking the man's car, not wanting to stoop to his level.

"Yang Jian, over here, we're over here," Jiang Yan appeared at that moment, saw Yang Jian, and waved at him from a distance.

Zhang Liqin smiled at Yang Jian from the sidelines.

"You're just now arriving?" Yang Jian checked the time, feeling that they were somewhat dragging their feet.

"Big brother, my friend has come to pick me up, I won't be needing your ride. Put my luggage down, please."

He then added.

"Should've said so earlier, you're holding up my business." The middle-aged man grumbled as he dropped the dead-heavy luggage bag onto the ground.

Clang!

The luggage bag hit the ground, and it seemed something fell out, striking his foot.

The middle-aged man looked down and his eyes immediately bulged.

A gold bar.

He looked up to see the young guy wasn't looking this way and quickly scooped the item up.

"It must be real," the middle-aged man felt the hefty weight in his hand and his heart raced.

With the recent surge in gold prices, such a gold bar would be worth at least a million.

He had struck it rich.

He moved quickly, intending to hide the fallen gold bar, knowing if it went unnoticed, it would be his. However, just as he was about to pocket it, a bluish-black arm suddenly reached out from the luggage bag and grabbed him.

A chilling sensation pierced through the fabric of his sleeve, as if it were sapping all the warmth from his body, sending shivers down his spine.

Somehow the zipper on the ground luggage bag had come undone.

An eerie child poked his head out, staring at the man with blood-red eyes.

A ghost?

The middle-aged man turned pale instantly upon seeing this, his body went rigid, his mind seized up, and he found himself unable to move as he stood frozen in place.

The Ghost Child reached out another bluish-black arm, its chilly palm prying the man's fingers apart before retrieving the gold bar and placing it back into the luggage bag, and then it let go of him.

Finally, the Ghost Child retreated back into the luggage bag and zipped it up.

But it left a small gap.

A sinister red eyeball peered through the opening in the zipper, surveying everything outside.

It was only at this moment that the middle-aged man realized what exactly he had been carrying in his luggage bag.

A ghost child?

Mommy!

He cried out of fear, and wetting himself, he scrambled away, crying and urinating as he fled.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Jiang Yan ran up to Yang Jian and hugged him enthusiastically, tilting up her delicate and beautiful face with a radiant smile, "You've been away on business for so long, didn't you miss me at all?"

Watching their actions, they seemed like a couple in the throes of a passionate romance.

"I didn't miss you, not at all," Yang Jian said bluntly.

This recent trip had almost cost him his life, and he had encountered danger more than once. How could his mind have spared a thought for Jiang Yan?

"You must be lying. Speak with conscience. How could you not think of me, such a beauty waiting for you at home?" Jiang Yan said confidently.

Yang Jian said, "Why are you holding onto me so tightly? Aren't you going to let go?"

"I'm not letting go. I'm going to hug you all the way home," flirted Jiang Yan.

"..."

Yang Jian turned to Zhang Liqin, "Has she suddenly become like this, or has she always been this way? Did something happen to her usually?"

Zhang Liqin laughed and answered, "President Yang, Jiang Yan isn't usually like this. She must be missing you to act this way."

After speaking, her gaze also lingered on Yang Jian, filled with an unusual emotion.

She knew that there wasn't really anything special between Jiang Yan and Yang Jian.
