Yang Jian stared at Cao Yang by the fire, surprised that Cao Yang had been hiding in this inconspicuous little shop for days to avoid a fierce ghost.
When asked for specific reasons, he remained silent, wanting to keep it a secret.
Although everyone has their own secrets, and Yang Jian didn't like probing into others' privacy, now was not the time for Cao Yang to use this as an excuse and reason.
"I understand some of your special circumstances, but since headquarters sent me here, it already means this meeting must proceed. I have already sought out Leuk San, Li Leping, and He Yiner before coming to find you, and like you, they all had reasons not to come, but in the end, they compromised."
"So I hope you can quickly handle your affairs here and head to headquarters."
Cao Yang said, "If I don't resolve my issue, I'll die miserably. Even if I go to headquarters, that fierce ghost will follow me there. No, it will even intercept me midway."
