Chapter 418

Chapter 419 Confession

The plane landed at half past two in the afternoon, and Chen Keai, the company’s finance lady, specially came to pick them up.

Together with Chen Keai, came Young Fate Giver Jing Ruoxue, as well as Xu Xiaoxiao and Xu Shengtian, Little Shengtian’s cousin.

Originally, Chen Xiaodong, also known as "Ye Wen," was also going to come and pick them up together.

He even paid someone to make an exaggerated banner, which read "First conquer America, then destroy the Land of the Rising Sun, glorify our national prestige, Chu Jiang is invincible," with the forum slang catchphrase.

But there was a paranormal incident near Luohe City, and he was dragged by Duan Mingen to be a henchman, so he had to regretfully entrust this banner to Captain Xu Shengtian.

They had a great time during this period, young people with common interests.

But Xu Shengtian thought the slogan on the banner was too immature, so he didn’t bring it along.

When Chu Jiang walked into the airport lobby with Kujo Aino and Uesugi Hinagiku, not only the people from the Luohe City branch were paying attention, but also Ghost Master, who was secretly lurking, immediately opened his phone to upload the results:

[Breaking news! Chu Jiang has brought back two beautiful girls from an island country. It’s time to settle the bets, guys!]

Chu Jiang glanced around and noticed these sneaky guys, but he didn’t pay much attention. With his current fame, he knew that wherever he went, people would be watching.

Today, Chen Keai was wearing a light white halter maxi dress, a beige sun hat, carrying a small LV handbag, and wearing straight black high heels. She looked extremely youthful and beautiful.

Along with her delicate fair features and captivating eyes, she was confident that she could impress the boss.

But when she saw Chu Jiang appearing with a mature-looking woman and a young-looking cute girl, her face couldn’t help but fall a little.

Of course, Chu Jiang noticed this scene and approached closer through the crowd.

"Hello, boss!" exclaimed Xu Shengtian energetically, leading the way with a bow.

Chen Keai and Xu Xiaoxiao followed suit, saying, "Hello, boss."

Jing Ruoxue simply nodded, then curiously glanced at the two people beside Chu Jiang.

"Hmm," Chu Jiang agreed, quickly grabbing several bags from his left hand. Like magic, he handed Chen Keai a bag filled with gifts.

"Here are the cosmetics, sake, and sweets you wanted. I also bought some other gifts. Keep what you like and you can throw away what you don’t like."

This surprised everyone present. They always thought Chu Jiang was indifferent towards the opposite sex. But this time, he actually bought gifts for a specific woman when going abroad?

Blushing under the gaze of others, Chen Keai hurriedly accepted the bag and said thank you.

However, as soon as she took it, Xu Shengtian immediately snatched it away, leaving Chen Keai looking confused.

I’ll take it. Big brother and sister-in-law, walk ahead!" Xu Shengtian assumed a protective demeanor, as if saying, "I am the bodyguard.

Xu Xiaoxiao found it funny and said, "Let’s go and talk about it later when we get back."

Chu Jiang nodded and naturally took Chen Keai’s arm, leading her outside.

Kujo Aino pondered upon seeing this. It seems that this man is not incapable of being attracted to women, but rather, it’s only certain women.

Little Hinagiku felt a bit down. Chu Jiang had never treated her like this before; it was more like he saw her as a little sister.

Jing Ruoxue watched Chu Jiang’s figure and couldn’t help but feel a tinge of melancholy. She had never really felt anything special toward Chu Jiang before, mostly just holding onto traditional family values.

Giving it some thought, she shook her head and let go of those inexplicable emotions, quickly following after.

On the way back, Xu Xiaoxiao and Hinagiku had their first offline conversation. The atmosphere was quite serious, mainly because it was Xu Xiaoxiao’s first time finding out that her own family had a famous ancestor.

Xu Shengtian, upon learning this, was even more shocked. He immediately excitedly said to Chu Jiang:

"Big brother, I get it! Turns out I also have the templates of protagonists from those novels. Quickly bring me to meet our ancestor. I want to receive his final transmission of skills and become the strongest in the world!"

"You deserve it!" Xu Xiaoxiao hit him on the head.

Chu Jiang also said speechlessly, "Do you think this is a world of martial arts and immortals? Stop talking nonsense."

"But if all three of you want to meet Mr. Xu, I can take you to the headquarters tomorrow. Whether you can meet him or not depends on your abilities."

……

After returning to the company, Chu Jiang first dealt with the official duties he had accumulated during his overseas trip.

Actually, he had people under him who helped him complete these tasks, so he didn’t have to worry.

The main reason is that recently, there have been more and more supernatural incidents across the country, and even the managers in the areas under Chu Jiang’s name and other cities had to come to Luohe branch for help and borrow staff.

This made Chu Jiang deeply feel the speed of the deteriorating situation, and he must quickly obtain the Two Realms Bell to try to end all of this.

There is also good news that the situation with the river god Wang Lei has improved a lot. Now he has reached an agreement with the research institute. Under supervision, Wang Lei will also start solving some supernatural incidents.

Of course, as long as it is limited to the area where the water flows through Luohe.

As for the group of ghosts that came out of the Lin Ancestral Hall, they also followed the people of the branch to go on missions, which was the work they had been doing when they were alive and are familiar with.

This kind of life is actually not bad for them, at least it is a pastime, they can experience different people and things; compared to being stuck in an endless cycle in the ancestral hall, it is like a thousand times better.

And as long as the Lin family members maintain their humanity, they are not very afraid of fierce ghosts coming back to life, so they can fully commit themselves and quickly solve tasks.

During the time Chu Jiang was not in the country, there were rumors about the appearance of a "special force" under his command, and many people speculated that it was finally the Ghost Master family behind Chu Jiang giving him some support.

Regarding this, Chu Jiang became even more melancholic, he was eager to understand his own identity…

That evening, Chu Jiang took Chen Keai back to Luoxi City and had dinner in his own home.

His parents naturally became happy when they saw him rarely come back, and prepared a table of delicious food.

And they could clearly see that Chu Jiang and his secretary had become closer, so they started subtly mentioning marriage.

Chu Le helped Chen Keai a lot to make sure her brother wouldn’t let this good girl escape.

As for Chen Keai, most of the time she was very reserved, but occasionally she couldn’t help but laugh foolishly.

……

In the late night, Chu Jiang took Chen Keai to the rooftop and confessed some things to her.

Chu Jiang still felt that he should clarify his feelings for her and for Belfast in advance, so as not to hurt this good girl.
