His words had barely faded when Liu Yang, standing beside him, pulled him aside, muttering in hushed tones.

Yuan Munye could guess what was happening; Liu Yang probably didn't trust him.

It was understandable, considering they had just met. Who would completely trust someone they had only just become acquainted with?

"Big Brother, why did you reveal that? If the boss finds out, we'll definitely get scolded!" Liu Yang said with a serious expression.

Wang Yiming waved his hand dismissively. "I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of? Besides, no matter what happens, I'll take the blame, right?"

Mainly, he thought Yuan Munye was just a kid who posed no threat.

Even if Yuan Munye were to leak the information, it wouldn't be a big deal.

"I just feel like this guy appearing here suddenly is too strange. We should be more careful."

Liu Yang felt uneasy.

Wang Yiming nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

With that, Wang Yiming returned to Yuan Munye's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Xiao Ye, have you heard about the ghouls attacking Yun City recently?"

"I've heard about it, but I don't know what's going on. They haven't attacked Yun City yet. I was even thinking of joining in!" Yuan Munye said, feigning regret.

He had to admit, this guy was a great actor!

"Something came up. Are you interested in this?"

Wang Yiming stared into Yuan Munye's eyes as he asked.

Yuan Munye nodded and said, "Of course. If we take Yun City, we'll have a chance to take other cities in the future."

Wang Yiming smiled approvingly. "If you're interested, you can follow me from now on, and I'll make sure you eat well and live well!"

"If Big Brother is willing to take me, that would be the best!" Yuan Munye replied with a smile.

After a few more exchanges, the ghouls suddenly became serious. Not sure what had happened, Wang Yiming turned to Yuan Munye and said, "Little Ye, wait here for us. We have to go out for a while!"

Hearing this, Yuan Munye was taken aback, frowning slightly. "Where are you going? When will you be back?"

"We don't know when we'll be back, but we'll return as soon as possible. Just wait here for us."

Wang Yiming didn't say much more before leaving.

After they left, Yuan Munye originally wanted to find Director Zhou's location immediately, but then he thought, the ghouls left so hastily, could they be testing him on purpose?

If he went to find Director Zhou now and the ghouls found out, they might immediately return to find him.

No, he couldn't expose himself yet.

With this in mind, Yuan Munye abandoned the idea.

He suddenly remembered Li Pangpang, who was still outside, and became worried. He quickly took out his phone and sent him a text message, telling him to shout loudly for him if he encountered any danger.

Even after sending the message, Yuan Munye was still worried. After all, if something really did happen, Li Pangpang wouldn't even have time to shout.

"System!" Yuan Munye quickly called out to the system.

The system's mechanical voice responded, "What's wrong, host?"

"Is there any way you can help me keep an eye on Li Pangpang?"

Yuan Munye didn't know how long he would have to stay here, and it was too dangerous for Li Pangpang to be outside, so it was better to prepare for the worst.

"You can just go out and set up a barrier for him!" the system suggested.

This was the first sensible thing it had said!

But what it had thought of, he had also thought of.

Yuan Munye was worried that the ghouls hadn't left and were still watching him from nearby. If he went out, he would be exposing Li Pangpang, making him even more vulnerable.

"Then help me see if those ghouls from before are still nearby!"

"I can only sense the presence of one ghoul," the system replied.

One ghoul?

Could it be that the other ghouls had left, leaving only one behind?

That ghoul was probably left behind to watch Yuan Munye.

If there was only one ghoul, then what was there to be afraid of?

"Can you help me pinpoint the ghoul's exact location?"

"I'm sorry, host. If you want to know the ghoul's exact location, you must purchase a tool."

Yuan Munye had just praised the system for saying something sensible, and now it was back to its old tricks.

Forget it, he wouldn't bother looking!

Yuan Munye decided to use his own methods to lure the ghoul out!

"Never mind, I'll figure it out myself."

After wandering around the house, Yuan Munye headed straight for the second floor. Now, he needed to determine Director Zhou's location so he could rescue him later.

Reaching the second floor, Yuan Munye immediately noticed the thick layer of dust on the corridor. In addition, there were also several obvious footprints.

That was strange. There was dust on the first floor and the stairs, so why were there only footprints on the corridor on the second floor?

Yuan Munye felt that something was off. Just as he was checking the rooms on the second floor, the system warned him, "Warning, host, danger is approaching. The main quest has been activated: Kill two Earth-Grade Rank 1 ghouls and receive a reward."

Damn it!

This guy, didn't he say there was only one ghoul? How did it become two?

"Are you kidding me? Didn't you say there was only one?"

"There was only one before, but now there are two, and they are approaching the villa," the system replied emotionlessly.

Yuan Munye didn't know what to say for a moment. Two Earth-Grade Rank 1 ghouls were nothing to him.

He just wondered who these two ghouls were.

Just as he was thinking this, Yuan Munye suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He subconsciously turned around and saw two figures standing silently at the entrance of the staircase.

Both of them were staring straight at him.

He only recognized one of the two ghouls, the one who had been with Wang Yiming, named Jiang Feng.

Yuan Munye's heart tightened, but he immediately put on a smile. "Brothers, have you finished your business?"

"Xiao Ye, what are you doing on the second floor?" Jiang Feng said in a cold voice.

Yuan Munye made up an excuse. He knew Jiang Feng wouldn't believe it, but he still had to play along.

"Hurry up and go down!" Jiang Feng's tone carried a hint of command.

Yuan Munye didn't say much, but looked at them again.

Both were Earth-Grade Rank 1 ghouls.

Kill them!

Yuan Munye had only one thought in his mind.

"I told you to go down, what are you waiting for?"
