Chapter 114: Haunted by a Ghost
Of course, just because Chu Jiang doesn't plan to take real action doesn't mean he doesn't want to deep down. It's just that he can't do it.
If it weren't for the condition of the body being invaded by ghosts, which is dragging down Chu Jiang, he would have at least kept that hat.
What a pity. After all is said and done, this is still a hidden danger that all Ghost Masters have. Let's see what happens next. If these people dare to cross his path again, then don't blame him for not being polite.
As for the issue of facing two opponents alone, as long as Chu Jiang thinks that the hat is worth his efforts, he doesn't mind sealing the little theater into the Ghost Diary, temporarily gaining the ability of Ghost Domain.
Even last night, when Chu Jiang was at the company, he was already prepared with a simple script, so that he could take action at any time in case of an emergency.
The script is a standard template. Chu Jiang is a good person, and everyone against him is a bad person. Bad people deserve to be punished by justice. It's that simple.
Watching a few people escape in a miserable state, Chu Jiang suddenly realized that he was always thinking about getting rid of his opponents. It seems that his mindset has truly changed. It wasn't like this before...
Thinking about it, Chu Jiang took out his satellite phone and quickly dialed the operator, Chen Yuting. "A member of the Ghost Master organization called [Sincerity Company] just appeared in Luohe City. They disrupted my normal work."
"That's not the main point. I gave them a verbal warning, and they left. But I discovered that they had investigated my information. They must have found it through the internal system of the institute."
"I can't tolerate this kind of thing. You need to request from your superiors to find out who, between nine and nine ten in the morning, accessed the system's backend to search for my information."
"I don't need to say what to do next, right?"
Faced with Chu Jiang's phone call, Chen Yuting was momentarily surprised, but quickly reacted. "Okay, I will immediately report this to my superiors. Please rest assured that the institute will be a strong support for all responsible personnel."
The situation that Chu Jiang realized was quite simple. He suspected that there was collusion between a responsible person and the Ghost Master organization, leading to the leakage of his information.
Even responsible personnel at the same level as Chu Jiang don't have the authority to access his detailed information. At most, there would only be one line: Chu Jiang, code-named "Blood Hand," the person in charge of Luohe City.
But the problems that arise from this are still very serious, involving collusion and Chu Jiang won't miss any opportunity to strike against his opponents.
Actually, Chen Yuting's position is quite special. Unlike the switchboard operator at the Chu Jiang company, she represents the communication channel between headquarters and the person in charge.
So it's best to leave this kind of thing to her to handle.
Hanging up the phone, Chen Yuting went to negotiate with headquarters, and then Chu Jiang turned around and walked towards Xu Xiaoxiao. "Let's go, take me to meet the old man."
Xu Wanglong was still a little confused, while Xu Xiaoxiao happily led the people back into the mansion.
This prompted Xu Wanglong to follow quickly and catch up with Xu Xiaoxiao. In a low voice, he asked his niece, "What's the background of this person in charge?"
Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't explain it either, she just said that Chu Jiang was very powerful and that he controlled the city.
Xu Wanglong couldn't help but feel a bit troublesome because he didn't know what Chu Jiang wanted. If it was just money, it would be okay, but if it was something else, it would be more complicated...
As a few people entered the top floor of the mansion, an elderly man with a tired demeanor and a cane slowly made his way back to the bed from the window.
He can't lie down now, his back hurts when he lies down.
Luckily, there is a doctor and a nurse in the room, they carefully support the old man, hoping he can lay down and rest.
However, the old man just waved his hand to refuse and insisted on sitting.
Soon, Xu Xiaoxiao took Chu Jiang up to the top floor.
At the door of the old man, there were two tall bodyguards in black clothes guarding. They nodded and saluted when they saw their own people.
Then it was Chu Jiang's turn, a stranger. Normally, he should be searched before entering.
But Xu Wanglong just waved his hand, letting the bodyguards step back.
This world has really changed. Some people have powers stronger than guns. What's the point of searching them?
As soon as Chu Jiang entered, he saw the old man sitting on the bed.
He was wearing a traditional Chinese suit from the last century, with silver-white hair; Although his face seemed numb from pain, you could still see some dignity and calmness.
As soon as Chu Jiang entered the door, he immediately sensed a chilling feeling lingering in the room.
What was even more special was his Phantom Eyes, which could faintly see a blurry and vague human figure on the old man's back.
The thing was lying completely still on the old man's back, as if it were a corpse.
This made Chu Jiang furrow his eyebrows, no wonder the people from Sincerity Company sent two Ghost Masters; and not satisfied with that, they also found a sacrificial person locally.
They probably anticipated that this event would be quite challenging.
What surprised Chu Jiang the most was that an ordinary old man had been haunted by a ghost for three months and still hadn't died.
Xu Wanglong had originally planned to introduce the two sides to each other, but when he saw Chu Jiang come in, he looked straight at the old man's back and didn't move at all.
So, Xu Wanglong hesitated to speak, afraid of disturbing Chu Jiang.
Xu Yanting clearly noticed Chu Jiang's gaze and patiently waited before saying, "Can you see that thing?"
"I see a blurry outline," Chu Jiang responded while walking slowly forward.
"Let's have everyone unrelated leave, including family members, and we'll use our phones to stay connected."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao nodded and ran to secretly speak a few words to her grandfather. Then she placed her phone on the table, facing the bed, and opened the video call interface with her uncle.
Xu Wanglong was about to say more, but the old man gave him a look, indicating for him to leave.
So Xu Wanglong reluctantly started the video call and left with his niece and the medical staff.
After everyone unrelated left and the door was closed, Chu Jiang walked to the opposite side of the old man and pulled up a chair to sit on.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Chu Jiang, and I am in charge of Luohe City."
"This person in charge, the old man can understand as someone who specifically deals with supernatural events."
"I belong to Research Institute No. 21, which is like an official organization in theory. With your family's power, you should be able to find what you're looking for, but in the past, you probably haven't actively integrated into this circle."
Xu Yanting nodded, "The old man's last name is Xu, and his first name is Yanting. Yanting means rock like a stone, and pavilion like a gazebo."
"Regarding the strange and mysterious events happening frequently in various places, actually in the past six months, my sons and I have heard something about it, but we haven't seen it with our own eyes, so we have always been somewhat skeptical."
"Some people have contacted us, trying to get the Xu family to join various small groups, but we have politely refused them one by one."
