At 6: 45 in the afternoon, Zhang Wentao finished his day's worth of work and returned to his villa near the Easy-to-River outside the county city.

Just as he returned home, a gentle and beautiful woman immediately walked over. Zhang Wentao ignored her and threw the jacket to her, before walking to the balcony by himself.

It was dusk, and from Zhang Wentao's current position, he could just barely make out an orange sun hanging on the mountain far away from the river, illuminating the entire river red.

However, at this moment, he was not in the mood to admire the beautiful scenery. He only looked at the horizon before lying down on the reclining chair with his eyes closed to rest.

His two bodyguards, although severely beaten by Lin Jin, only looked like they were slightly injured, and weren't really that bad. The reason they were at the brink of death was merely because they had lost as much blood as Lin Zhenbang.

At first, the doctors saved them from the brink of death, thinking that everything was fine, but when they woke up at 3 PM, the doctor in charge of rescuing them discovered that both of them had turned into extremely terrified expressions. No matter who asked them questions, they would be so scared that their pupils would constrict and their bodies would tremble.

According to an experienced neurologist, this was caused by excessive stimulation of the nervous system. If they wanted to recover, they had to overcome their fear before they could return to their original state.

Zhang Wentao was a person who had extremely strong self-control over his emotions. Even though something like this had never happened before, his expression was still as calm as usual.

However, in actuality, he was already full of anger. These two bodyguards had followed his arms for eight years, and there were many things that were done in the dark through them. These two people were loyal and devoted to him.

Moreover, their willpower had been tempered in the army, and he did not know who had caused them to become like this.

Although losing them was nothing to Zhang Wentao, but officially, it was a severe slap on his face. And after a day of searching, not only was Lin Zhenbang nowhere to be seen, he was nowhere to be found.

Even the few calls he made to Liu Heijiu were pushed out by his disciple. This caused him to feel both angry and at a loss.

He was a man of great desire, and in a way that was why he had come so far. However, he was not satisfied with this.

Ever since Liu Heijiu found out that that mysterious world truly existed, he was filled with illusions about that mysterious world and wanted to join it. This kind of dream.

It was something that all ambitious people had wanted to have for thousands of years, and he could not avoid it. But it was a pity, because he was old and had expended too much energy, Hei Jiu did not think that he was suitable for cultivation.

After several rounds of confirmation, he finally gave up on this idea. However, Liu Heijiu still gave him one last hope, and that was to promise to help him preserve his soul a hundred years from now. He was reincarnated with his memories.

And because of this promise, Zhang Wentao used his authority to cover up for Hei Jiu many things that normal people could not accept.

On the other hand, Hei Jiu allowed him to obtain an ability that allowed him to read other people's thoughts. With this ability, he understood clearly the thoughts of everyone around him, and controlled them tightly in his hands.

Because of this ability, he was well aware of his subordinates' ability. In fact, it actually caused the development of An Ling County to be even better than the other counties. In addition to his relationship with a few of his old comrades in the province, it had increased his capital even more.

Originally, with the capital that he had accumulated over the years and the miraculous ability that Hei Jiu had given him, he would definitely be able to progress further in government affairs.

However, he felt that at his current age, it would be better to guard the An Ling County that he worked hard to manage, and be the local despot of the county. A few years ago, Hei Jiu had even promised him. As long as his pill refinement was successful, he would have one.

Let him step into the world of his dreams. So no matter what, he had no reason to leave the county.

As for Lin Zhenbang's investigation into him, it was just a little game he had played to pass his time, but he never thought that this game would lead to an unexpected variable.

Just as he was thinking about how to let Hei Jiu settle this matter, he suddenly heard the frightened scream of a woman coming from downstairs. Following that, he heard the cold and indifferent voice of a man: "Where is Zhang Wentao? "Speak!"

Hearing this unfamiliar voice, Zhang Wentao's heart jumped, and he immediately sat up from the reclining chair.

He walked to the door and looked down. In the living room downstairs, he saw a young man in casual clothes standing there expressionlessly, trying to find out where he was.

On the other hand, his woman had a face full of shock and fear, seemingly at a loss of what to do. She did not know what had frightened her to such an extent.

From that person's childish look, he was definitely not older than twenty years old. To Zhang Wentao, he was completely a child.

But when he looked carefully, Zhang Wentao felt a very natural sensation on his body. Although this person was standing in his own house, it seemed like he was standing in the wild, extremely casual.

In his memories, he had only felt this kind of strange feeling from Hei Jiu before.

But, could this young man be someone like Hei Jiu?

Without time to think, the young man seemed to have sensed Zhang Wentao's existence and followed his gaze, slowly turning his head towards the stairs.

As he shifted his gaze, the woman felt the pressure on her lessening, screaming as she quickly ran up the stairs towards Zhang Wentao.

However, when she arrived at his side, due to her extremely fast running speed, she hid behind Zhang Wentao, gasping for breath, and couldn't utter a word. She could only point at the young man and say: "He … "He …" There was still a sense of fear in his eyes. Apparently, he had yet to recover from the weird situation.

Although he did not understand why his own woman would be frightened to such an extent, he still thought that some kind of special method was used to intimidate her, and that it was the son of an enemy seeking revenge.

Women are timid, after all.

After silently cursing the person who saved Lin Zhenbang and turned his two bodyguards into idiots, Zhang Wentao carefully moved his hand behind his back and placed it on a small handgun.

Looking at his figure, Zhang Wentao thought that if not for the fact that his two bodyguards were crippled by that unknown man, and based on his physique that did not seem to have gone through much training, he would have been crippled by them before even entering the door.

I just don't know how he knew he had a house here. But unfortunately, his other two bodyguards were currently in another residence to protect his wife and children.

What he did not notice was that the door to his villa was still tightly locked.

Zhang Wentao's face darkened, and shouted at him: "Who are you? How dare you barge into my house? Aren't you afraid that I'll have you arrested? "

He had long held the position of being above the masses, so his words naturally carried an inviolable authority. If it were anyone else who faced him, who was the head of this domineering county, their hearts might have jumped a few times as they considered the consequences.

However, the young man was the man who had shown Talking about the Old Man his skills. Lin Jin, who was sent by Zhou Hai to look for evidence of his crimes, was not afraid of him.

Lin Jin stared at him coldly, confirming that he was the person he was looking for, and asked: "Do you know a person called Lin Zhenbang?"

Suddenly hearing the name Lin Zhenbang, Zhang Wentao's pupils contracted as he thought of his strange disappearance. As quick as lightning, a possibility flashed through his mind: Could it be that this young man is the person who saved Lin Zhenbang?

At this time, the lady behind him shivered for a long while, then calmed down, and said to Zhang Wentao in fear: "He, he is not a human, he is a ghost!"

Hearing this sentence, coupled with his own deductions, Zhang Wentao was startled. He quickly pulled out the spear from his back and aimed it at Lin Jin.

Just as he was about to aim at Lin Jin, he laughed out loud and disappeared into thin air like a ghost.

Seeing Lin Jin disappearing like a ghost, the woman screamed once again.

Almost at the same time that Lin Jin disappeared, Zhang Wentao opened the door to snatch him away without hesitation.

After the "pa" sound of the gunshot rang out, Zhang Wentao heard a "dang" sound coming from the wall. It was clear that the gunshot had missed its target.

Having lived for such a long time, although Zhang Wentao had seen many unimaginable things from Hei Jiu, he had never encountered such a person disappearing right in front of him.

At the same time, he also confirmed that this young man was definitely an expert from the Taoism like Liu Heijiu.

Just as he was about to escape through another staircase, the woman's scream rang out for the third time. In front of Zhang Wentao, a hand stretched out from thin air, grabbing towards his neck.

Before he could even react, he felt his neck tighten as he felt a suffocating sensation that he hadn't experienced in a long time.

Zhang Wentao was shocked, he immediately turned his gun, wanting to shoot at the arm.

However, just as he turned the pistol around, he was surprised to see that since the muzzle of the gun, the exquisite silver-white gun had also become transparent in the air, and he could not feel the presence of the gun at all.

As for his hand, it was still in the same position as when he was holding the gun, which made it look extremely funny.

Seeing this scene, the woman was so scared that she cried out. She finally couldn't endure this strange series of events and fainted, saving Lin Jin the trouble of knocking her out.

Seeing Lin Jin's face appearing before his eyes bit by bit, Zhang Wentao tried his best to breathe, not wanting to suffocate himself. However, knowing that he couldn't win against Yue Yang, Yue Yang became even calmer, surprising Lin Jin for a while.
