Mysterious Revival

At this moment, Guanjiang Residential Complex.

The villa where Yang Jian lived was brightly lit; before he returned, Jiang Yan, who was very timid, had turned on all the lights. Experience more on empire

Not even sparing the bathroom lights.

Wherever she went, there was brilliant lighting, which gave her some sense of security, considering such a large place was inhabited by only one or two people, making her feel very unsafe.

But today, a guest had arrived.

In the living room on the first floor.

"Miss Zhang, I think Yang Jian won't be back until late tonight. You shouldn't wait anymore. Just leave the license plate here; I'll attach it for him later," Jiang Yan said with a smile, while also casting a wary glance at Zhang Liqin.

After staying overnight last time, she had felt something odd about this woman.

Could it be that she was clinging to Yang Jian?

That won't do. By arrival, she had secured her position first and wouldn't allow any other competitors to appear.

Zhang Liqin had dressed up specially today, with light makeup on her face and her hair neatly tied up, not a strand out of place.

She could be described as a woman who exuded a strong feminine charm from head to toe.

"It's okay. I'll wait a bit longer. There are still some documents that I haven't processed. Since I'm here this time, I might as well get it done all together; otherwise, it'll be delayed until the next time. I'm afraid it might hold up President Yang's affairs," she said with a slight smile, appearing very patient.

"You just want to squat here and not leave, right?" Jiang Yan's expression became odd, though she didn't dare say it out loud.

If Yang Jian found out that she had chased away Miss Zhang who was handling his registration and license plate, he might scold her when he returned.

"But looking at the situation today, it's possible that Yang Jian won't be coming back. He was delegated a task today and apparently has a mission. I'm going to rest soon; I have to work tomorrow and can't keep Miss Zhang company here all the time," Jiang Yan said.

Zhang Liqin replied, "Then, Big Sister Jiang, go ahead and sleep. I'll just wait here for President Yang to return by myself. If it is really too late, then I might have to stay another day."

Hearing her tone, she had decided to stay overnight.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Jiang Yan was certain that Zhang Liqin definitely wanted to latch onto a rich man. Someone was trying to snatch the wealthy benefactor she had finally got ahold of.

How could this be allowed?

Yang Jian had only two legs—one for herself, and one for his good friend Zhang Wei; there was no spot left for this woman.

"Since Yang Jian isn't back, there are some things I can't decide on my own. Also, he doesn't really like strangers staying here. If Miss Zhang really needs to stay overnight for work, why don't I take Miss Zhang to the sales department next door for the night? It's really not very convenient here."

After finishing, Jiang Yan spoke in a subdued voice with a hint of horror, "In the past few days, over twenty people died outside, bodies everywhere. Yang Jian mentioned that there are supernatural occurrences happening in the residential complex. Our fifth floor has certain untouchable taboos. Do you know why the villa was covered in black cloth last time?"

"Because there's a ghost. That ghost was in the villa. To this day, I am not sure if that thing has left. Maybe it's sitting next to the sofa right now, listening to our conversation."

"I heard President Yang mention it before, but speaking of this, I should really thank President Yang. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have been able to get out of the city center last time." Although Zhang Liqin felt slightly uneasy, she didn't seem too scared.

Her face still bore a look of deep concern.

Damn, she's not scared off by this?

If Zhang Wei were here, he'd definitely have a way to drive away Zhang Liqin.

Unfortunately, that talented individual was taken away by his father.

As Jiang Yan was pondering various methods to chase away Zhang Liqin, this woman she felt threatened by, and secure her position as the Eastern Palace Empress, a car abruptly stopped outside.

"No way, he's here so early?" Jiang Yan was a bit dumbfounded.

Upon hearing the car noise, Zhang Liqin immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As a saleswoman, she could easily distinguish that it was the sound of Yang Jian's Bentley.

Very soon.

Yang Jian walked in carrying two heavy bags.

"Are you out of your mind? You're alone at home and you turned on the lights on four whole floors, even the bathroom lights. As if the person paying the electricity bill isn't you. Electricity's expensive nowadays, can't you save a bit? It seems those who don't manage a house never know the struggles of it. It's tough for me to con money outside."

As soon as he walked in, Jiang Yan got scolded.

Jiang Yan puffed up her cheeks, "With tens of billions, how can you still care about a bit of electricity? I'm scared being here alone, okay?"

"Go outside and see; you'll realize it's even more terrifying out there. You really don't know how good you have it," Yang Jian said.

"President Yang, hello," Zhang Liqin greeted.

Yang Jian raised an eyebrow, "When did you get here?"

"I came in the afternoon, and have been waiting for you since," said Zhang Liqin.

Jiang Yan pouted, "She's here to get your license plates and handle your vehicle registration, really great service, waited half a day for you."

Zhang Liqin smiled awkwardly, "President Yang, could I trouble you for a few minutes? There's something I'd like to discuss with you in private."

Yang Jian thought for a moment, "Okay."

After speaking, he added, "Big Sister Jiang, help me put these things away, don't mess around with them."

"Got it," Jiang Yan responded, while casting a suspicious glance at Zhang Liqin.

A woman's intuition told her that Zhang Liqin must have something secretive to discuss today.

Zhang Liqin, not her first visit, deftly led Yang Jian to the room where the two had previously been intimate.

"I thought you wouldn't come again, but it turns out you're just saying one thing and feeling another," Yang Jian said with a smile, "What's the matter, missed me?"

Zhang Liqin hesitated before speaking, "Yang Jian, these past couple of days, I've noticed something odd about my body, it seems like I might be pregnant, I didn't dare let others know, so I came to you."

The smile on Yang Jian's face gradually stiffened, and his mind was immediately swarmed with phrases like 'sucker,' 'congratulations on becoming a dad,' 'wide open green fields,' 'thank you,' 'I really like this hat...'

"It's definitely not mine, I'm very confident about that. You're not trying to make me take the fall for it, are you? Sorry, I'm not taking this one."

Zhang Liqin, both embarrassed and anxious, "That's not what I mean. I'm not pregnant at all, even if it accidentally happened last time, it wouldn't show this quickly. But look at my stomach."

Without any hesitation, she lifted her top to reveal her fair belly.

Compared to the last time, her belly was slightly swollen, as if she really was pregnant.

"Yang Jian, you scumbag, fooling around behind my back," Liu Xiaoyu's agitated voice transmitted from the satellite-located phone.

Keeping communication open 24/7, she too had heard the previous conversation.

"Who, who's talking?" Zhang Liqin was startled.

Yang Jian said, "It might be my conscience condemning me, don't mind it."

"Could it be an illness?"

Zhang Liqin said, "No, it's not an illness, there really is a baby inside my stomach, you can feel it if you want." With that, she took Yang Jian's hand and placed it on her belly.

Yang Jian immediately frowned; he indeed felt a fetus squirming inside.

The fetus was very small, probably only the size of an adult's fist.

But the next moment, his palm felt something and he swiftly withdrew his hand.

Through Zhang Liqin's belly skin, a grimacing baby's face appeared, mouth open as if to bite towards Yang Jian.

"Ahh~!"

Zhang Liqin instinctively covered her stomach, feeling intense pain.

"So vicious even at this tiny size?" Yang Jian raised an eyebrow, "Even trying to bite your dad? Be careful, or I'll kill you."

"Yang, Yang Jian, what, what's actually happening?" Zhang Liqin said in a panic.

Yang Jian narrowed his eyes and spoke in a grave tone, "This is Ghost Infant... how did you come to have this thing?"

Zhang Liqin shook her head, "I, I don't know, it seemed to have just appeared, and by the time I realized it, the fetus inside me was already formed, seems to grow a bit fast."

"It's grown slow enough, count yourself lucky you found me, otherwise, in some time what's inside your belly would've consumed all your organs, it would rip through your belly to get out, and congratulations, you'd have given birth to a real ghost with your own life," Yang Jian said.

"No, this can't be, Ghost Infant should be Zhou Zheng's, how could this woman have one, Yang Jian, you must be mistaken," Liu Xiaoyu exclaimed in surprise from the satellite-located phone.

Yang Jian said, "Perhaps it's only because I'm correct, have there ever been instances where ghost controllers had relationships with ordinary people and conceived Ghost Infants?"

"Absolutely impossible, do you think you're God or something? Capable of impregnating someone with a Ghost Infant." Liu Xiaoyu answered very affirmatively, "This has nothing to do with you."

Yang Jian said, "I thought so, it'd be too ridiculous otherwise, since it's not due to me, then there's only one truth..."
