Chapter 188: Boss, Are You a Robot?

Since Chu Jiang had no more questions, Yan Wanli tentatively asked, "Can you tell me how you sealed Black Sun? Where did that ghost go now?"

Chu Jiang shook his head. "It’s top-secret. I will report to headquarters later, see if you can get a copy of the report to read yourself."

"Okay," Yan Wanli said a little disappointed, but the S-class ghost should have really been resolved, otherwise Chu Jiang wouldn’t be so relaxed.

"Also, can you tell me the name or codename of the ghost that restrains me? I promise not to leak it." Yan Wanli’s expression was full of eagerness.

Chu Jiang initially wanted to refuse to answer, but after thinking about it, he said, "It’s called Chu Jiang."

Yan Wanli was obviously confused for a moment, thinking Chu Jiang was joking with him.

Chu Jiang felt a bit regretful. It seemed that this guy didn’t know anything about Chu Jiang’s lineage. "Just call it Chu Jiang, alright? You can go now."

Yan Wanli was a bit annoyed, and even a little bit disgusted with Chu Jiang. Why couldn’t he just keep quiet and stop fooling around like a fool?

"Well, I’m going to leave now."

"Hey, wait a moment. How about you stay and help me for a few more days? I still want to take a day off," Chu Jiang changed his mind again.

Yan Wanli had an expression that showed he wanted to punch someone. "Your day off has nothing to do with me. As the captain, I have many things to take care of, okay? That’s it."

With that, Yan Wanli quickly left before Chu Jiang could make any more unreasonable requests.

Watching Yan Wanli’s departing figure, Chu Jiang pondered. It seemed that he wouldn’t agree unconditionally to anything Yan Wanli asked. Resisting only meant resisting, it didn’t mean someone was brainwashed by him.

Yan Wanli hurriedly left without even closing the door.

But Chu Jiang didn’t mind, and just looked toward the door saying, "What are you sneaking around for? Come in."

Two or three seconds later, a pretty face appeared at the door. She had slightly curly black long hair, and she seemed a bit nervous.

"Boss, are you still alive?"

This is the financial officer, Chen Keai.

Chu Jiang picked up the pen on the table and spun it around. "Nonsense! I thought you had quit and ran away. Why are you still here?"

Chen Keai instinctively adjusted her hairstyle and clothing, then she lowered her head and walked in with small steps, just like an ancient housemaid.

After standing still, Chen Keai said, "Actually, I did consider running away, especially with the 30 million in the company account. Neither Lin Yun nor Mr. Yan, who temporarily took over the company, seems to know about it…"

"Then why didn’t you do it? Were you afraid I wasn’t dead?" Chu Jiang asked calmly.

Chen Keai shook her head repeatedly, "I just thought about it, just thought about it. I couldn’t dare to do it."

"And then, you still haven’t said why you didn’t quit."

"By the way, where’s Lin Yun?"

The third person still staying at the company is Li Xiaolang, and surprisingly, he hasn’t been transferred back to the head office yet.

Chen Keai mentioned it with some regret, "Lin Yun resigned, and this incident had a big impact on him."

"The previous boss, Wang Lei, died; Luo Yifeng, who had a good relationship with him, also died; and then, boss, you went missing and are suspected to have died too."

"Lin Yun felt that this line of work wasn’t suitable for him, so he asked the temporary boss for resignation. Mr. Yan approved it, and now he should have already returned to his hometown."

Chu Jiang nodded in thoughtful agreement, "That’s the right choice. For ordinary people, surviving an S-class event is already very lucky."

"As for me…" Chen Keai hesitated for a moment, "When you carried me to the finance room, boss, you told me to wait for your return."

"And then, you continued to go missing. I feel that it is necessary to personally inform you before resigning, unless your death is eventually confirmed."

Chu Jiang stroked his chin and asked, "Are you reluctant to leave this easy and well-paid job?"

Chen Keai blushed and replied, "No, am I the kind of person like that?"

"By the way," Chen Keai suddenly remembered something, she bit her lip lightly and said with a bit of grievance, "Back then, when I was in despair, I called you. But you never answered, did you think I was too old?"

Chu Jiang had a puzzled look on his face, "Is there any logical connection between not answering the phone and thinking you’re old?"

Chen Keai hesitated for a moment before stammering, "It doesn’t matter."

"By the way, do you still remember what happened that day?"

Chu Jiang was a bit confused, according to what Yan Wanli said, the research institute should have already dealt with the survivors’ memories.

"I remember, I remember that you transformed, are you… a high-tech robot that came back from the future or something?"

Chen Keai’s exaggerated imagination once again stunned Chu Jiang, he rubbed his forehead and said, "How did you come up with that? Guessing I’m an alien is more believable than this."

Chen Keai felt a little embarrassed, "I watched a Japanese drama called ‘Absolute Boyfriend’, the male protagonist in it is a humanoid robot who looks exactly like a human~"

Chu Jiang shook his head, this lady’s ability to imagine things was always excellent.

"Can you tell me more about what happened that day?"

Chen Keai continued describing, but her thoughts seemed a bit confused. She said there was a natural disaster one moment, and then she said she saw a skeleton on fire the next.

To be precise, Chen Keai remembered the plot created by the research institute. She also remembered things that actually happened and mixed the two together, giving what she thought was a "perfect" explanation.

In response to this, Chu Jiang could only think that Chen Keai’s frequent contact with him and the rest of the Ghost Masters had caused her to possess some supernatural powers. Therefore, hypnosis didn’t work very well on her.

"Alright, if you want to resign, I’ll approve it now," Chu Jiang said, tapping the table with a pen.

Seeing Chu Jiang starting to rush her, Chen Keai hesitated for a moment. "Boss, can you explain to me why there have been so many strange things happening in real life?"

"Because the world has changed, it’s no longer safe," Chu Jiang didn’t hide much. "So quitting, just like Lin Yun, is a better choice. Working here inevitably involves dealing with those things."

Chen Keai fell silent.

After a few seconds, she asked, "When I’m in danger, will you protect me, boss? Like last time."

Chu Jiang waved his hand, "Last time was just a favor, I can’t be your bodyguard for twenty-four hours."

"But if something happens at the company, you wouldn’t just stand by and watch, right?" Chen Keai asked hopefully.

Chu Jiang nodded slightly, "But that’s all."

"That’s enough, I will continue to do it!" Chen Keai said confidently, "After all, it’s not easy to find a job with such a high salary."

Chu Jiang was speechless, "So, it’s all for this. You have to handle the accounts and transfer the money to me, otherwise I’ll find another accountant."

"Mmmhmmm," Chen Keai nodded repeatedly.
