Chapter 216: Gunshots on the Airplane

"Alright, let’s not talk about that. The video you recorded a few days ago might be misunderstood by some Ghost Masters with legacies." Mr. Xu turned to look at Chu Jiang.

"What misunderstanding?"

"They might think that you are sending a signal: The long-lost ancient Ghost Master legacy should reappear in the world."

Uh… Chu Jiang didn’t know what to say. Can these people really make such connections?

"Anyway, in the future, don’t do anything reckless. Bringing the ancient legacy into the public eye can easily escalate societal chaos, and it’s not the right time for that yet."

Chu Jiang nodded slightly.

"There’s nothing more to say. You have many questions, but I won’t answer them."

Chu Jiang wasn’t surprised by this. Some people worry more as they live longer and sometimes, they aren’t as carefree as younger people.

Chu Jiang even wondered if Grandpa Lin is only considered a "young person" in front of Mr. Xu, so he might still have a long conversation with Chu Jiang.

"You go ahead. Oh, by the way, when you have time, please take care of the Xu family for me. There aren’t many descendants of mine left in this world, and if the Xu family becomes extinct, one branch will be lost again."

Chu Jiang was shocked and asked, "Which Xu family?"

Mr. Xu smiled and said, "Don’t you already guess? It is that Xu family."

"Wait, you are the one who created the ancestral talisman that sealed the ‘White Tiger Fury’, right?" Chu Jiang had to ask, as he hadn’t forgotten that he himself was cursed with the White Tiger.

This curse is not even easily removed by Grandpa Lin.

"No," Mr. Xu calmly said, waving his hand. "Go, go, go. I am just someone near death, and it won’t benefit you to have further dealings with me."

Chu Jiang noticed that with every "go" Mr. Xu said, the distance between them grew further apart. In the end, he could only see a blurry figure and hear the second half of his words growing fainter.

Waiting for Chu Jiang to fully come to his senses, he realized that he was still standing in the elevator, and the elevator was still on the fourteenth floor underground.

However, the elevator doors didn’t open, as if everything was just a dream for Chu Jiang…

Thinking back on everything he had just experienced, Chu Jiang shook his head. No need to think too much about it, but working with Xu Xiaoxiao and their family could really deepen.

Not to mention, Mr. Xu turned out to be their ancestor, which Chu Jiang really didn’t expect.

After all, there are so many people with the last name Xu in the world, and his imagination is not rich enough to make that connection.

————————–

The next day, Chu Jiang sat on the plane about to take off, still reflecting on his morning meeting with Zhang Haoran.

The two of them had a long conversation in a coffee shop. Zhang Haoran had really changed, he seemed more composed, as if he had become the excellent student who used to speak confidently.

He was honest with Chu Jiang, admitting that he had forced himself to believe in the existence of ghosts, hoping to gain the power to communicate with them, but unfortunately, he ultimately failed.

So Zhang Haoran gave up this path and hoped that the research institute could find a final solution to save all humanity from him.

Of course, he didn’t forget the tragedy at Luoxi No. 7 Middle School, nor the teachers and classmates who died in front of him.

But Zhang Haoran realized his own helplessness and entrusted this matter to Chu Jiang, hoping that Chu Jiang could do what he couldn’t.

Naturally, Chu Jiang solemnly agreed. He had never forgotten the English teacher who died in his arms. Her name was Yu Fengmei…

After saying goodbye to Zhang Haoran, Chu Jiang couldn’t help but think of a phrase, "The enlightened are always happy."

……

There is nothing else to say. The members of the delegation left headquarters yesterday and flew back to their country overnight.

The blonde woman was, of course, not left behind, but Chu Jiang learned her name: Jade Williams, from the country called Britannia.

Although this might be a pseudonym, it doesn’t matter, as names are just aliases.

In addition, Chu Jiang gave his contact information to Bruce. He didn’t not want to make extra money, he just didn’t want to do it now. We’ll talk about it later.

Next, Chu Jiang plans to research and investigate Yun Changfeng’s whereabouts, and also look into things related to the river god.

Overall, everything is quite relaxed because Luohe City was practically emptied after the Black Sun incident.

As long as the negative effect from the Ghost Diary doesn’t randomly provoke Chu Jiang, any miscellaneous ghosts will do.

Just then, a well-dressed chubby man walked angrily towards the first-class cabin, holding a cellphone. It seemed like he was arguing with someone on the other end.

Since the voice was getting closer, Chu Jiang, who originally planned to look at some information, couldn’t help but look up.

There was a flight attendant trying to persuade the chubby man to turn off his phone. But the chubby man, who wore a big gold chain and looked like a nouveau riche, impatiently waved his hand and ended up sitting next to Chu Jiang.

Because his phone was still not turned off, the flight attendant followed him all the way and said, "Sir, the plane is about to take off…"

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a loud gunshot rang out, causing screams to immediately fill the plane. The female flight attendant was so scared that her legs gave out, and she fell to the ground in a disheveled manner.

As for the overweight man, he was completely bewildered. He could only hear a buzzing sound in his left ear, and he felt like he was going deaf.

The overweight man realized what had happened a beat too late, and couldn’t help but curse, "What the heck…"

"Don’t panic, everyone! It was that idiot in another place shooting at my phone. There’s nothing to worry about, no one brought any guns on the plane."

The overweight man was also afraid the plane would be grounded like that, as he was rushing to go back to his hometown.

Amidst the chaos, the onlookers saw a chubby man shouting with a phone in his hand. Next to him was a young man with a pale face, who seemed quite uneasy and covered the chubby man’s phone. It was clear that he was "terribly scared."

"Are you crazy? Why are you blasting your speaker so loudly?"

"Oh my goodness, it really scared me. I thought someone was hijacking the plane…"

In the midst of the chaos, the flight attendant hurried off to find other staff members. They needed to double-check if anyone was carrying a gun before they could be certain.

"Sorry, brother, you can let go of your hand now. That jerk fired a gun at his phone, so the call naturally got disconnected," said the chubby guy turned apologetically to Chu Jiang.

Chu Jiang, with a cold face, snatched his phone and crushed it into pieces!

The chubby guy first got angry, then shocked by Chu Jiang’s incredible strength. He crushed a whole phone into tiny bits.

Chu Jiang turned around and poured a heap of shattered glass and scrap metal onto the chubby guy’s thigh, right in front of him. Among the debris, a deformed, golden bullet appeared…
