Chapter 131: River God

After arranging everything, Chu Jiang left the police station, stepped on the gas pedal, and drove towards Tianfeng Mansion.

At the same time, Chu Jiang called Yun Changfeng and told him that he couldn’t leave now and asked him to immediately organize a few other Ghost Masters to wait for his command.

Yun Changfeng smiled bitterly on the other end of the line, knowing the situation was urgent, and agreed directly.

……

Tianfeng Mansion: A foreign man with a backpack, wearing a mask, and short golden hair walked in expressionlessly.

The atmosphere inside the building was peaceful, with everyone going to work, completely unaware of the danger approaching.

The security guard at the entrance was surprised to see a foreigner and watched as the man went straight into the elevator.

The foreign man reached the top floor of the thirty-seventh floor and when he tried to enter the glass door of the company, he found it closed and pressed the doorbell.

Soon, assistant Luo Yifeng walked strangely to the door. Who could it be at this time? Just now, the company’s operator received a call from headquarters. It seems like something happened.

But as soon as he reached the front desk area, Luo Yifeng saw a foreign man outside the door through the glass, and his expression changed slightly.

Immediately, his face returned to normal and he calmly walked past…

Just then, Chen Keai also walked over from the finance office. She heard the bell and intended to open the door. She didn’t expect the boss’s secretary to already be here.

Seeing this, Chen Keai wanted to turn around, but she suddenly looked terrified. There was a foreigner standing outside the door!!

In a moment of great danger, Chen Keai was scared and rolled over, hiding behind the front desk.

It’s the man from the photo! He’s here to silence me.

In that instant, Chen Keai was at a loss. Her delusion came true… wait, Luo Yifeng went to open the door?! Should I remind him?

Before Chen Keai could speak, she heard Luo Yifeng’ voice, "Hello, who are you looking for?"

Chen Keai had no choice but to crouch behind the counter, peeking her head out to take a look.

Then, she started to wonder if she was dreaming.

Luo Yifeng stood inside the door, without opening it. But the foreigner outside pressed his fingerprint on the lock and the glass door opened by itself.

What was even more unbelievable was that his height, hair color, body shape, and clothing suddenly blurred and transformed into Chu Jiang’s appearance!

As soon as Chu Jiang entered, he stared coldly at Luo Yifeng and said, "It seems like you are involved."

Oh my goodness! In a state of extreme nervousness, Chen Keai witnessed her boss transforming right before her eyes and was left speechless.

"Come with me." Chu Jiang put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the office. Luo Yifeng’s expression was a mix of shock, surprise, fear, unease, and anxiety.

But he didn’t run away. Instead, he obediently followed the person in charge towards the office.

Both of them then noticed Chen Keai, but no one paid attention to her as if she was just part of the background.

……

Sitting in his own seat, Chu Jiang looked at Luo Yifeng with a cold expression. "I don’t have any time to waste now. Just be honest with me. Otherwise, I will make you taste what it’s like to wish you were dead."

Luo Yifeng took a deep breath. "I’ll be honest, but Wang Lei’ death has nothing to do with me."

Next, Luo Yifeng described what had happened to him.

It all started over ten days ago when a group of foreigners claiming to be doing a cultural study arrived in Luohe City.

Luo Yifeng didn’t know them, but they approached him privately first.

These foreigners called themselves members of a Ghost Master organization from abroad and claimed they came all the way here to study the local river god belief.

They were almost done with their investigation and preparing to go back to their country. However, they also wanted to recruit a local member to stay behind.

Luo Yifeng, of course, wasn’t a fool. He believed he didn’t have enough value to justify someone from a foreign power coming specifically to recruit him into their organization.

He asked the other person straightforwardly, what is your purpose?

Those people saw that Luo Yifeng wasn’t easily fooled, so they told the truth. They suspected that Wang Lei was no longer the original Wang Lei, but a being corrupted by the river god.

Because during their research expedition, this group of three people had once seen a statue of Wang Lei in a mysterious area deep in Luohe.

That statue was covered in moss and very old-looking, as if it had existed for at least a few hundred years.

At that time, they cautiously took a photo of the statue, intending to study it more carefully later.

But when they arrived in Luohe City, they unintentionally encountered the local representative, Wang Lei. The three foreigners were shocked, thinking they had angered the river god and now he was coming to punish them.

However, Wang Lei seemed to have no recognition of the three of them, and they only passed by each other amidst the crowded streets.

After returning, they pondered and pondered, but still couldn’t come up with an answer. At the same time, they were afraid to directly approach Wang Lei, fearing that he might harm them.

Besides, their tourist visas were nearing expiration, so they had to return to their home country quickly.

So in the end, these foreigners decided to develop a local spy to observe Wang Lei’ changes. And Luo Yifeng, who was the assistant in charge, was a suitable candidate.

At first, Luo Yifeng didn’t believe it, but those foreigners showed him the results of their investigation, including the photos. They also warned him to be careful about his safety because nobody could guarantee if that "Wang Lei" was the real person.

Luo Yifeng recalled that Mr. Wang had indeed been leaving early and returning late recently, and he seemed to have changed a little compared to before…

Just when Luo Yifeng hesitated, the three people promised him various benefits.

Luo Yifeng had always wanted to become a Ghost Master and gain powers beyond ordinary people, but he never had the opportunity. Because as far as he knew, those who became Ghost Masters were all due to various accidents.

But these foreigners said that their organization had a method to make ordinary people become Ghost Masters; although there were risks involved, there was still a chance of success.

And they could also provide Luo Yifeng with a large amount of money and other benefits.

Faced with all these generous conditions, Luo Yifeng still didn’t immediately agree, but said that he needed a few days to consider.

Surprisingly, those people didn’t give him a hard time and let him leave.

After that, Luo Yifeng was torn between whether to report these foreigners to Wang Lei or accept their benefits.

Unexpectedly, before Luo Yifeng could make a decision, Wang Lei passed away suddenly in his office the next day.

At that moment, Luo Yifeng was completely bewildered and immediately suspected that those foreigners were responsible.

But upon further consideration, it didn’t make sense. If the foreigners’ true intention was to target local authorities, why would they bother discussing it with an ordinary assistant like him?

From beginning to end, Luo Yifeng’s existence was unnecessary.

So Luo Yifeng speculated that it might be related to the belief in the river god, and that Wang Lei, being an old hand, ultimately fell victim to it.
