Mysterious Revival

In the Ping'an Hotel of J City.

The sudden incident caused by Lin Shan during the day had already subsided, and in less than a day, the hotel had returned to normal, except that the eighteenth floor remained sealed off. The rest of the guests had returned to their rooms, and the bodies that had been soaking in the water were long gone.

Within a high-end suite on one of the hotel's floors.

Li Yao, who had been deeply asleep, was just starting to wake up faintly.

"You're awake?"

The voice of the man beside her was cold and detached, making him sound particularly harsh and unapproachable.

Yang Jian was staring at Li Yao beside him.

He had arranged everything, and now he wanted to see if Li Yao had become the person he needed, as he had anticipated.

Li Yao instinctively started and abruptly lifted her head. When she saw Yang Jian, she was slightly stunned, then the memories of the previous night flooded back.

She remembered that she had met with Yang Jian on the hundredth floor of the Ping'an Tower yesterday, but the conversation had been far from pleasant and had ended hastily within five minutes.

Afterwards, she worked until the end of her shift as usual.

That's right, after work, she had taken the initiative to call Yang Jian and met with him again in the hotel. What was her purpose?

It seemed that she didn't want to give up the opportunity to win over Yang Jian, so she chose to try to ingratiate herself with him, and eventually, because she had a fondness for Yang Jian, things naturally developed, and the two ended up together.

"Last night, you..."

Li Yao revealed a charming smile; "The notorious 'Ghost Eye' Yang Jian truly is formidable."

Her tone was gentle and seductive, with a woman's allure, full of temptation.

"You shouldn't have stayed last night."

Yang Jian knew the memory had taken effect, but he couldn't be completely sure yet. He needed to verify it step by step to find the loopholes and then continue to repair them.

This was because there was a significant power behind Li Yao, and if she were discovered upon her return, the situation could be more problematic than imagined.

"Do you know? I've never been this forward with anyone before, but you are an exception. Otherwise, do you think I'm such an easy woman?"

As Li Yao spoke, she held onto Yang Jian's neck without letting go and leaned against his chest like a woman deeply in love.

"So, have you decided? Will you join us, or will you refuse?"

Yang Jian said, "What if I still refuse to join you?"@@novelbin@@

Li Yao suddenly lifted her head, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of worry as she spoke, "It would be better if you didn't do that."

"Why?" Yang Jian said.

"They've already made their decision. If you refuse to join and just happen to be chosen for the captain's plan, they'll take you down without hesitation. They absolutely won't allow someone like you to obstruct them."

As Li Yao spoke, she revealed a past secret.

Yang Jian's gaze immediately sharpened, "So because I affect certain people's interests, they either want to win me over or take me down? Indeed, their methods are ruthless, not leaving any way out. But why are you telling me this secret information?"

"Because I don't want to see you die, and a person like you shouldn't perish over some conflicts of interest. I have been observing you for a long time, albeit through files. As the only one who has resolved an S-class paranormal incident in the country, you shouldn't be treated this way. You deserve everything coming to you. As for them... I don't think they are fit to be leaders," Li Yao said very seriously.

The memory had changed, and had the way of thinking changed as well?

Yang Jian's expression shifted slightly.

At this moment, Li Yao was considering everything for him, completely betraying her previous allies.

"Since that's the case, why don't you come over and help me? Instead of fighting against me?" Yang Jian spoke.

Li Yao paused, thinking, indeed, why was she working for that group of people? Why not work for Yang Jian, whom she valued more?

If Yang Jian could successfully become the captain, then even if there were difficulties, it wouldn't matter much.

"I am not against you; I would treat anyone else the same. You just stood out, that's all. But you want me to help you?" Li Yao said.

"Unwilling?" asked Yang Jian.

Li Yao slowly sat up, displaying her graceful figure, but she did not shy away. Instead, she looked down at Yang Jian from above, revealing a sexy and charming smile, "Actually, it's not that I'm unwilling, but I have one condition. If you can meet it, then I'll consider working for you."

"What condition? You can tell me about it, and I'll see if I can fulfill it," said Yang Jian.

Li Yao leaned forward, whispering in his ear, "Only if you let me be your girlfriend, because I've found that I've already fallen for you. If we collaborate, I believe these competitors will be no problem at all."

Yang Jian's gaze flickered.

Clearly, since Li Yao had woken up, the process of modifying her memories had gone very smoothly; she didn't harbor the slightest doubt. Now, just like the memories he had altered, she possessed a love that was engraved in her heart.

And the object of this love was him, the ghost controller who was indifferent to emotions.

Just as Yang Jian was about to speak, suddenly a phone rang.

The ringtone made Li Yao turn her head back immediately. She smiled and said, "Sorry, it's my phone. I'll take the call, and then we can continue our conversation from before." Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

Finishing her words, she wrapped herself in the bedsheet and stepped down from the bed to pick up the ringing phone.

"Hello, it's me. What's the matter?"

A stern voice came from the other side of the call, "Li Yao, what's going on with you today? Why didn't you come to the company to work, but instead, after I investigated your location, I found you're actually in the Ping'an Grand Hotel, and even in Yang Jian's room?"

The moment had come.

Yang Jian immediately sat up. He wanted to know how Li Yao would get through this.

Li Yao turned her head and threw a coquettish glance at Yang Jian, casually saying, "I thought Yang Jian still had potential to be persuaded, so I met with him privately."

"Such an action is reckless and unlike you," the voice on the phone questioned with some suspicion.

"The discussion during the day was somewhat unpleasant. At the very least, I had to dispel his hostility towards us. My work does not permit any oversight," Li Yao replied.

"And the result?"

Li Yao said, "The misunderstanding between Yang Jian and us has been resolved, and he agreed not to join any side. He also hopes that we will not cause him any trouble."

"Very well, let's leave it at that then." The call was quickly cut off, seemingly granting silent approval to Li Yao's private action.

After all, it was not the time to be making enemies recklessly. If they could stabilize Yang Jian, it would be more advantageous for the current situation.

Also, the fact that Yang Jian didn't join any side meant he potentially lost the chance to become the team leader.

Li Yao had handled this matter well.

"Done."

Li Yao now put down the phone, turned back with a smile and said, "I've alleviated their concerns for you. They won't be focusing on you for a while. You're safe until you become the team leader. How will you thank me now?"

"No suspicions aroused?"

Yet, in his heart, Yang Jian had another thought.

He had thought that after Li Yao disappeared for a day, her backers would definitely become alert, even conduct an investigation.

But they hadn't.

"Such low vigilance; her sudden disappearance for a whole day and staying with me didn't evoke the slightest suspicion. They just confirmed Li Yao's location and didn't doubt for a second that Li Yao had completely changed as a person," Yang Jian thought to himself with a cold smile.

With such an attitude towards handling supernatural events, they were sure to falter.

By now, Yang Jian was certain that the shaping of Li Yao had been a success.

Next, he needed to obtain information about that group from Li Yao's lips, as well as understanding the situation in J City. He absolutely couldn't be kept in the dark, manipulated by others, being watched like a fool without any clue.

"Since you've made your choice, from now on you are my person," Yang Jian declared as he stood up.

But Li Yao's eyes shimmered with excitement and joy, "I won't let you down."
