Upon hearing this, Donut perked up as if she'd grasped a lifeline: "Really?"

"nonsense."

Yang Guang raised his chin: "When have I ever lied?"

"but……"

He deliberately dragged out the last syllable, and his peripheral vision subtly glanced at Jiang Siyu.

He had just practiced this feigned retreat tactic on Boss Chen with unparalleled skill.

Jiang Siyu had known him for so long, how could she not know what tricks this kid was up to?

She rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Alright, alright, stop putting on airs."

"Are you trying to ask for more money again?"

"Just say it!"

Yang Guang was exposed on the spot, but he didn't even blush. Instead, he shrugged confidently and said, "Miss Rich Woman, I don't like hearing you say that."

"I'm talking to you about professional skills, kid. You think this is just some ordinary shoddy product?"

"To tell you the truth, getting involved with donuts is no small matter."

"It's not trying to scare people, it's trying to kill them!"

Upon hearing this, Donut's breath deflated again: "Then... what exactly is that thing?"

Yang Guang felt incredibly pleased as he looked at the two nervous young ladies.

He cleared his throat and deliberately lowered his voice to create an air of mystery.

Even if I told you, you might not understand.

"This isn't a local livestock breed; it's a 'high-end' import from abroad."

"what?"

Jiang Siyu and Donut were both stunned.

Are there imported and domestically produced ghosts?

Yang Guang stroked his chin, his eyes becoming incredibly serious: "I suspect that the dilapidated sanatorium you went to investigate wasn't some haunted house at all."

"It's actually a den where people specifically raise these kinds of things."

These words were spoken.

Donut was so frightened that she jumped out of her skin and grabbed Jiang Siyu's arm.

"Raising...raising ghosts?"

"President Jiang, I quit! I don't want any more traffic, I want to go home!"

"Waaah, I want to go back to my hometown and farm!"

Jiang Siyu felt a chill run down her spine at these words, but as a seasoned CEO, she forced herself to remain calm and looked at Yang Guang: "Yang Guang, don't scare her."

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Do people really keep these things in places like that?"

"What's the point?"

Yang Guang withdrew his gaze, and his expression finally darkened, his carefree attitude dissipating considerably.

"What's the point?"

"For money, of course."

"These evil spirits, created through unorthodox methods, are specifically used to attract wealth, harm people, and cast spells."

"Each one is more ruthless than the last."

He paused, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"And I reckon I probably know most of the people who keep these things."

As soon as Yang Guang said this...

Jiang Siyu and Donut were both stunned.

Jiang Siyu's eyes widened in surprise, and she exclaimed, "You actually know someone like that?"

As she spoke, the look in her eyes as she looked at Yang Guang instantly changed.

His eyes were filled with suspicion and wariness, as if he were re-evaluating a dangerous stranger.

Yang Guang's face turned black instantly.

"Rich young lady".

Yang Guang said irritably, "Do you really have such a vivid imagination?"

"Look at my face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and an upright appearance."

Yang Guang pointed to his face, which was covered in yellow mud, and said in a serious tone, "You look like the male protagonist from a novel."

"If this were in the world of cultivation..."

"I am the leader of a prestigious and upright sect, a chosen one with impeccable lineage."

"How could I possibly associate with those evil practitioners who raise ghosts to harm people?"

Donut curled up on the sofa, sobbing as she looked at Yang Guang's mud-covered monkey-like appearance.

The male lead?

No matter how she looked at him, he seemed more like an extra begging for food.

Jiang Siyu also curled her lip in disdain: "With your outfit, you think you're the male lead?"

"It looks like the male lead's father just came down from the coal mine."

Yang Guang was too lazy to argue with the two of them.

He shoved his hands into his sweatpants pockets, and his tone finally became serious.

"That thing is my enemy."

"I just sparred with him today, but unfortunately that bastard ran fast and I couldn't stop him."

Yang Guang paused, glancing out the window out of the corner of his eye: "But if it is that dilapidated sanatorium, it really is his hiding place."

"That makes things interesting."

Speaking of it.

Yang Guang's lips slowly parted into a smile.

"Hehehe..."

A chilling laugh escaped from Yang Guang's throat.

The laughter sent chills down your spine.

The temperature in the office seemed to have dropped a few degrees.

Jiang Siyu and Donut exchanged glances, then shivered in unison, staring at Yang Guang with strange expressions.

Jiang Siyu couldn't help but expose him, saying, "Feed."

"Didn't you just boast about being from a prestigious and respectable sect?"

"Your laughter sounds like something a villain would say!"

"They were practically rubbing their hands together and shouting, 'Now none of you can escape!'"

Donut nodded like a chick pecking at rice, quietly agreeing, "Yeah, that sounds just like one of those monsters trying to capture Tang Sanzang..."

Yang Guang's laughter was abruptly cut off.

His face stiffened, and he coughed twice.

"cough."

"You know nothing."

"This is what I call the smile of a victor, one who has everything under control and has planned everything perfectly."

"You wouldn't understand the professionals."

Jiang Siyu rolled her eyes, too lazy to argue with him, and quickly steered the conversation back on track: "Fine, you're the most professional."

"Then tell me, how exactly do we treat this 'ancient child'?"

"Is there any hope for Sweetie?"

When it comes to serious matters...

Yang Guang finally dropped the playful grin on his face.

He stood up and circled the donut, his gaze as if he were inspecting merchandise, making the donut feel uneasy.

"Don't rush."

Yang Guang stroked his chin: "The fact that the thing hasn't completely ensnared her yet means it's still testing the waters."

"It comes to absorb yang energy every night to fatten itself up."

"It will only start dragging people away after it has fattened them up and the fire has been completely extinguished."

Upon hearing the words "fatten up," Donut's face turned green: "I...I'm going to become animal feed?"

"That's roughly the idea."

Yang Guang nodded without hesitation.

The donut cried out "Wah!" again.

Jiang Siyu quickly covered her mouth, glaring at Yang Guang with annoyance: "Can't you talk to me properly!"

"Does it have to be so scary?"

Yang Guang shrugged, looking completely innocent: "I'm telling the truth."

"I can't lie even if you ask me to."

"I've always been an honest person since I was a child."

Jiang Siyu: "..."

She was completely convinced.

Yang Guang took out three yellow talismans from his backpack and then pulled out a piece of cinnabar pen.

He slapped the talisman on Jiang Siyu's expensive mahogany desk.

"Rich lady, may I borrow your table?"
