Chapter 2180 - 1184: Finale

In order to lure Yang Xiao out, these guys went to great lengths, with Captain Zhou even arranging for a security team member to call Captain Zhai.

And ten minutes later, Captain Zhai rushed over in a hurry, bringing Song Xin along.

However, this Captain Zhai learned from previous lessons and teamed up with Captain Zhou this time, with one playing the bad cop and the other the good cop.

"Ma Jiefang, this time you’ve done a good job solving the case, that’s true, but don’t be too arrogant. You’re still young, and your road ahead is long. You need to know your place," Captain Zhai scolded Yang Xiao as soon as he arrived.

Song Xin chimed in beside him, her gaze full of disappointment as she looked at Yang Xiao: "Jiefang, I thought you were a hero, but I didn’t expect you to be like this behind everyone’s backs! You’re such a disappointment!"

At this moment, Captain Zhou cooperated well, pretending to stop Captain Zhai:

"Old Zhai! You’re overreacting, Jiefang did make a contribution to solving the case this time, he’s a contributor."

After persuading Captain Zhai, Captain Zhou immediately turned around, frowning at Yang Xiao, with a heavier tone: "Jiefang, why are you still sitting there? Hurry up and apologize to Captain Zhai, come with us to the celebratory feast. Don’t you see Captain Zhai is angry?"

Unexpectedly, Yang Xiao didn’t settle down, instead, he got more agitated, slamming the table with a "bang," pointing at Captain Zhai’s nose and cursing: "Zhai, you have no skills, yet you have a big temper, you’re useless, can’t do anything right. You can’t even investigate an idiotic, dark, perverted Zhou Wenqing, and you dare to get angry? Get angry and let your grandpa, Ma Jiefang, see it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room changed dramatically, the temperature dropped by seven to eight degrees, and the scolded Captain Zhai was almost exploding with anger, even pulling out a gun.

If it weren’t for Captain Zhou and others trying their hardest to block him, it looked like Captain Zhai would have directly shot Yang Xiao.

But Yang Xiao knew he wouldn’t, so he jumped up, stuck his neck out and charged forward, provocatively shouting: "Come on, Zhai! If you don’t shoot your dad today, I look down on you! Come, shoot here!"

This farce finally ended when Captain Zhou "desperately" took Captain Zhai’s gun and several people joined forces to drag Captain Zhai away.

"Ma Jiefang, I’m warning you, even though you were sent down by the higher-ups, as long as you’re in this factory, you have to listen to me. Now I order you to run over and apologize to Captain Zhai immediately!" Captain Zhou said angrily.

"Damn it, wasn’t I talking about him, not you?!" Yang Xiao turned the focus toward Captain Zhou, who had been playing the good guy, "Look at you, not much better than that damn psycho Zhou Wenqing, acting all high and mighty, showing off your capabilities."

Yang Xiao didn’t hold back, continuing to cuss: "I say Zhou Wenqing damn well deserves to die. Doesn’t he love lurking in the shadows, picking targets? I say burning him would be good, to rid this dark person of his dampness."

"I say burning him once is too cheap; he should be burned for ten days and nights, with candles, little by little, starting with his useless dog eyes, the dead psycho!"

Yang Xiao seemed completely oblivious to the room’s temperature steadily dropping, Captain Zhou and others’ expressions were becoming so somber as if about to drip water, yet he continued his eloquent tirade.

This rant certainly satisfied Yang Xiao, releasing all the pent-up grievances he had been holding in for days.

Yang Xiao also mixed in some fictional scenarios according to the intel provided by Sun Ying, to further "provoke" Zhou Wenqing, showcasing his storytelling talent to the utmost.

But the reason for doing so was unrelated to venting frustration. Yang Xiao’s goal was to provoke this ghost to find out who among these "people" was the ghost’s true form.

However, this ghost’s patience exceeded Yang Xiao’s expectations; despite the provocation, it didn’t completely tear off its disguise.

Looks like it’s determined to kill him tonight.

Yang Xiao also secretly raised his guard, knowing that if anything went wrong tonight and he fell into the ghost’s hands, he’d die in a terribly ugly way.

Now there were quite a few people left in the room: besides Ye Zheng and six other teammates, there was Captain Zhou, Song Xin, and two security team members, a total of ten targets.

What he had to do tonight was to find out who the real Zhou Wenqing was among these ten targets.

Among these people, Yang Xiao’s prime suspects were undoubtedly "Captain Zhou," given his significant role in driving the plot, followed by Ye Zheng, who kept persuading him but without certainty Yang Xiao wouldn’t act.

Moreover, Yang Xiao understood one thing very well: the ghost’s illusion wouldn’t last indefinitely; when the time came, it would reveal its weakness.

However, Yang Xiao hadn’t expected this ghost’s illusion could last so long and keep coming one after another.

Apparently, the previous people didn’t die unjustly. Even Zhang Xiaomin and Ma Jing, the quasi-newbies, couldn’t escape, no matter their skills.

Being himself, this ghost has certainly hit a rock.

The teammates were still continually persuading Yang Xiao, all advising him to apologize to Captain Zhai. But Yang Xiao wasn’t listening at all.

"Shush... shush..."

As someone’s whistling sounded, an overwhelming urge to urinate struck Yang Xiao’s bladder. He couldn’t hold it at all; the feeling was as if he was about to urinate the next second.

The person whistling was not Captain Zhou, nor Ye Zheng. Yang Xiao looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man in the corner of the room.
