Chapter 754: Chapter 754: Turned Into a Private Estate
Ji Yang had come to understand what Gao Huashan meant: don’t stir up trouble that could implicate them.
Naturally, Ji Yang also disliked causing trouble. He summoned Lei Zhongqian, explained to him some matters that could be discussed, and asked him to turn a blind eye to certain things.
Lei Zhongqian had already sensed something amiss; upon hearing what Ji Yang said, he became extra cautious.
Ji Yang chose to reside within the government compound, rather than in the ancient city.
He found that the farther he was from areas rich in Spiritual Energy, the denser the Mortal Dust’s Qi became. Since his True Yuan was growing daily, he preferred these realms of mortal dust.
What Ji Yang didn’t know was that agents from the Tenth Bureau were covertly monitoring him. After all, his relationships with several investors had aroused suspicions. Why had the women in good relations with Ji Yang managed to acquire real estate with spiritual energy?
Ji Yang’s decision not to stay in a place with spiritual energy also convinced the Tenth Bureau of one thing: Ji Yang wasn’t a cultivator. Cultivators couldn’t withstand a long-term presence in Mortal Dust’s Qi. Everyone who had come from the Tenth Bureau relied on a Magic Artifact to dare reside there for extended periods.
After a night, Ji Yang, in high spirits, brought people to look around.
It had to be said that the power families exerted considerable influence. After seizing control of the area, they naturally sought to utilize it. Taking over from Wu Mi and her group, everyone was eager to expand, and with a large influx of construction materials, the development was incredibly rapid. In a short while, several places were already habitable.
Upon reaching the location once occupied by Qian Huifang and her group, Ji Yang found inside many elderly comrades in residence.
Lei Zhongqian, of course, accompanied Ji Yang and whispered to him, “Mayor Ji, these are the families of some leaders and some former leaders. Ever since they arrived here, everyone’s health has improved. Ordinary people can no longer live here; these have all become their sanatoriums, or rather, the sanatoriums of their families.”
Looking around, Ji Yang saw that the construction could only be described as the epitome of luxury, with opulent decorations. Inside were beautifully trained service staff from all over, who served people diligently.
During the subsequent time, Ji Yang revisited several places and found that they had almost all become private territories, inaccessible to ordinary people.
Regardless of the time, the best things inevitably fell into the hands of the powerful. Regular folks could only stand by and watch.
When they reached the Formation that had trapped the people of the Gan Family, the area was already fenced off amid ongoing construction, with many tourists observing from a distance behind protective barriers.
It had actually become a tourist attraction.
Thinking about the deaths of those from the Gan Family, Ji Yang no longer cared. Dead was dead; that whole family likely weren’t good people, and the presence of fewer such families was probably for the better.
Ji Yang glanced at a few people hiding in the crowd who were watching him. He had noticed them from the start, at first thinking they were enemies, but later realizing they were actually people sent by the Tenth Bureau. This immediately made Ji Yang realize that not just him, but the few women, too, were likely under surveillance. Latest content published on novel·fire.net
Regarding this, Ji Yang and the rest had long had contingency plans in place. Unless there was something particularly important, they would not make contact with each other. If a special situation arose, they would use a specific phone call, and even if someone was eavesdropping, they wouldn’t know that they were communicating.
