“Deputy Director Yuan, you’re too modest. Everyone here knows that I don’t speak carelessly.”

Director He’s words settled.

Everyone echoed, “That’s right.”

“What Director He said is true, absolutely no exaggeration.”

Everyone agreed that Director He’s words were without flaw.

However, this wasn't what Yuan Muye cared about.

“Today, Secretary Jiang’s performance was also remarkable and worth learning from,”

Before long, Director He shifted his attention to Secretary Jiang again.

After a round of polite exchanges,

They moved on to the main topic: how to deal with the circumventing evil ghosts, especially since their target was Jiang City.

Moreover, they were led by two ghost generals, which was extremely troublesome.

Director He said, “Actually, I was very worried before, but now that we have Deputy Director Yuan, I’m not worried at all. When the time comes, Deputy Director Yuan and I can each hold back one of the evil ghosts’ generals. I believe we can get through this crisis.”

“Deputy Director Yuan, what do you think?”

Director He’s gaze fell on Yuan Muye.

Yuan Muye didn't have a better option, so he said, "Alright."

"Then that's settled. The rest of you, go set up your defenses. Don't give the evil ghosts any chance to take advantage."

The meeting ended there.

Yuan Muye left the meeting room, and Director Chen caught up, exchanging a few words with him. Yuan Muye was thinking about checking out the area opened up outside the city, as that would be the first place to be hit.

Li Pangpang and Wang Yajie were both there.

Yuan Muye had to ensure their safety.

While chatting, Yuan Muye seized the opportunity and said, “Director Chen, the area outside the city is the most important. You must guard it well; otherwise, one move could affect the whole situation.”

“Don’t worry, our special paranormal team will go outside the city. That area is already our responsibility,”

Director Chen said without hesitation.

Hearing Director Chen say this, Yuan Muye felt some of his worries ease.

Director Chen went to mobilize the paranormal team, while Yuan Muye headed toward the outside of the city.

It was already a bit late. By the time he arrived, it was around three or four in the afternoon, and the sky was gradually darkening.

Once Yuan Muye arrived outside the city, Li Pangpang quickly spotted him.

“Old Yuan, you’re here.”

“Yeah, I’m here.”

Li Pangpang was still clueless about what was happening, and seeing Yuan Muye, he was still in low spirits.

He chattered non-stop to Yuan Muye.

Yuan Muye said simply, “Go get Yajie. I have something to say.”

“Okay.” Seeing that Yuan Muye’s expression was serious, Li Pangpang didn’t delay and quickly went to call Wang Yajie.

When Wang Yajie arrived, he was accompanied by Xiaojian.

Xiaojian, full of energy, started calling Yuan Muye “Brother Yuan” when he saw him.

Yuan Muye glanced at Xiaojian and said, “Xiaojian, you can go out first.”

Although Xiaojian looked reluctant, he still replied, “Okay.”

Wang Yajie sensed something was up and asked Yuan Muye, “Brother Yuan, is something wrong?”

Yuan Muye nodded and said, “Something has indeed happened.”

Hearing this, Wang Yajie’s expression became tense, as he noticed that Yuan Muye didn’t look relaxed either.

Li Pangpang continued to press, “What is it, Old Yuan?”

“There are thousands of evil ghosts near us, led by two ghost generals.”

These words made both their faces pale.

Wang Yajie immediately asked, “Brother Yuan, could it be that Yanjiang County has fallen?”

Wang Yajie couldn’t believe it. They had just returned from Yanjiang County not long ago and knew the situation there.

It was impossible for the city to fall so soon after they had returned.

“No, the evil ghosts circumvented the area.”

Hearing this, Wang Yajie began to understand.

Li Pangpang became nervous and said, “Then what do we do now? With our current forces outside the city, we can’t resist such a great threat.”

Li Pangpang was very worried.

“Yeah, it’s normal that we can’t resist thousands of evil ghosts, but don’t worry yet. There will be a way to deal with it. Right now, we need to protect the safety of some people. Gather the old, weak, sick, and disabled and put them in the back.”

Yuan Muye said calmly.

Li Pangpang quickly voiced his thoughts, "Can't we let them into the city?"

What Yuan Muye said was simple, but getting these people into the city would be very difficult.

First of all, the city lord of Jiang City wouldn't agree, and secondly, the people of Jiang City wouldn't allow it.

In the current situation, letting these people into the city might cause even worse consequences.

"Let's not rush this matter; we'll discuss it later. First, do as I said,”

Yuan Muye said.

Seeing this, Li Pangpang said, "Okay."

At this time, night was gradually falling, and some people were starting to prepare food.

These people had all fled here, and it was already not easy to live such a peaceful life, even if just for a moment.

Being able to eat a full meal, or even just barely a full meal, was enough to satisfy people.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Muye was deeply moved.

"Go and make arrangements,"

Yuan Muye said.

Hearing Yuan Muye's words, Li Pangpang and Wang Yajie quickly left.

Just as Yuan Muye was lost in thought, Er Ya ran over at some point and called out, "Brother," when she saw Yuan Muye.

Er Ya was tidier and more efficient than before.

She looked a bit like a special paranormal operative.

They chatted briefly, and around 5:30 in the evening,

Director Chen arrived with her to arrange the defenses here.

At seven o'clock in the evening, an uninvited guest arrived.

This person was none other than Jiang Lan.

Yuan Muye was a bit surprised to see Jiang Lan appear. He didn't know why she had come here.

Although evil ghosts had been discovered nearby, they didn't seem to have any intention of attacking yet, so, for the time being, it should still be safe here.

Looking at Jiang Lan, Yuan Muye didn't speak first. After waiting a moment, he slowly said, "What are you doing here? Is there something you need?"

Hearing Yuan Muye's words, Jiang Lan felt a bit displeased but suppressed her emotions. She said, "I have to admit, you are indeed very strong."

"I don't need you to admit that. I am indeed stronger than you,"

Yuan Muye said calmly.

"Negative emotion points from Jiang Lan +299..."

"I came to you because I have something I want to discuss with you," Jiang Lan continued.

"What is it? If I remember correctly, I don't think I'm familiar with you," Yuan Muye said bluntly.
