Chapter 516: 513
Yang Jian didn’t know that in just half a day’s time, several senior members of his circle at Ping’an Tower had already had a meeting about him and had made corresponding decisions.
He had just finished dinner with Wan Delu and was preparing to inquire with a man named Luo Yong about his family’s ancient house.
Luo Yong was a bona fide villager who used to work in agriculture at his hometown. After working hard elsewhere to save some money, he planned to return home to build a new house. Seeing the ancestral home in disrepair, he decided to demolish the old house and rebuild it. Little did he know that as soon as he started the work, he would unearth a mysterious basement and find quite a few antiques.
The news spread and naturally caught the attention of some antique dealers, and because of this, he made a tidy sum of money.
But what Luo Yong had no idea about was that the basement, sealed for so many years, would bring about one horrifying supernatural event after another—so even now, Luo Yong was kept in the dark, oblivious to everything.
Even his trip to Dachang City was due to Wan Delu’s coaxing and deception, offering fifty thousand yuan in labor fees just to bring him over.
Yang Jian wasn’t concerned about these matters; what he cared about was whether the clue he was following would lead to a dead end.
Luo Yong, who was sitting in a private room next door, had long finished his meal. The food was good, and he had never eaten such upscale dishes before. But the better the meal, the more uneasy he became.
He felt that there was no such thing as free lunch, and that President Yang must have had some ulterior motive.
