After the Hungry Ghost incident, Dachang City indeed became very calm.
Zhang Xiangu even daringly held a gathering at the end of the year, something he definitely wouldn't have dared to do shortly after the incident. He made sure to keep a low profile, avoiding any bewildering encounters with supernatural events, but after multiple confirmations, he finally felt at ease to move about the city.
The annual gathering took place at a local five-star hotel.
The invitees were numerous, but they were all connections, relations, and friends from the business field introduced by Zhang Xiangu, gathering a group of company bosses with strong financial power, or some heirs of wealthy families.
Anyway, Zhang Xiangu invited everyone he could.
Originally, this gathering was supposed to happen a week ago.
But Yang Jian had gone back to his hometown and had to postpone it for some time.
