Chapter 217: Big Brother, Save Me

When the chubby guy saw that bullet, he was dumbfounded. What on earth was going on? The distance between them was huge, yet the other person actually managed to shoot a bullet at him using a phone!

This strange situation completely exceeded the chubby guy’s understanding.

Before the chubby guy could think any further, he saw the young man stand up expressionlessly, seemingly ready to leave.

"Wait, where are you going?" The chubby guy nervously grabbed the young man’s hand.

"Change planes," Chu Jiang pushed his hand away and went around him.

This is really unlucky, Chu Jiang could tell that this wasn’t meant for him, because the direction the bullet was fired clearly aimed at the fat man’s head.

If he hadn’t sensed the presence of supernatural power and immediately caught the bullet, this guy would have been shot in the head by now.

Although it wasn’t intended for Chu Jiang, he suspected that it might be Ghost Diary again, unconsciously attracting other ghosts to come closer to him.

Or maybe it influenced Chu Jiang and made him unconsciously choose a problematic flight.

But the person arguing with the fat man on the phone seemed like a living person? Chu Jiang thought for a moment and decided not to get himself into trouble, and directly change planes.

"You should call the police, otherwise you might not even know how you died later on."

"Wait!" The fat man’s eyes widened, as if he suddenly remembered something. He swiftly rushed forward with an incongruous agility and grabbed onto Chu Jiang’s thigh. "Brother, please help me! We’ve met before."

Chu Jiang looked down at this guy in silence. They did meet, but Chu Jiang thought it was just a coincidence. They hadn’t even spoken to each other before today.

"I don’t know you, let go of my hand."

"We met, about a month ago, on a flight from Yuetian City to Yunjing City."

"At that time, I was with a little boy. He was wearing a black traditional outfit and had blood-red eyes. He looked very scary."

"Then go find your little boy for help, he doesn’t seem like an ordinary person."

The chubby man shook his head vigorously, "He was taken away by that woman with long hair and never came back."

"Taken away by Yuwen Ting?" Chu Jiang was also surprised. It was their first meeting with the female captain that time.

The strange boy seemed to be very hostile towards Yuwen Ting.

Later, Yuwen Ting was late for the meeting probably because she was dealing with this troublesome matter.

"Big brother, I can give you money. I’m being targeted now, if you don’t help me, I am in big trouble!" The chubby man started to feel sad and wiped his tears. He was very good at acting and could cry on command.

At that moment, the flight attendant came with several airport security officers.

The chubby man immediately said, "Big brother, even if you change planes, it will take time. Why don’t you just not change? On this journey, let me explain the situation to you. If you don’t want to help, it’s fine."

When the security officers approached to ask questions, Chu Jiang walked back expressionlessly and casually picked up the bullet.

The chubby man was very relieved to see this. During the following inspection, he patiently explained to the security personnel and actively cooperated with their body search.

After confirming that no one was carrying firearms, the delayed flight eventually took off smoothly.

……

"Tell me, what happened?" Chu Jiang looked at the scenery outside the porthole.

The chubby man sighed, "My name is Zhang Dafu, and I am a businessman."

"My original name was Dafu, but I lived a mediocre life in the first half of my life and achieved nothing. Later, I found a fortune teller who changed my name to the current one, and my luck started to improve…"

"Focus on the important parts." Chu Jiang doesn’t have time to listen to him talking here.

Zhang Dafu quickly raised his hand. "Don’t worry, overall, I personally believe in these mysterious things more."

"After I started my business, I always listened to the masters saying that I should do more good deeds and accumulate merits. This way, my business will become more and more successful, and it will also benefit my reincarnation after death and protect my descendants."

"So about six months ago, I invested in a newly built orphanage in Yuetian City. I probably paid for half of it."

Chu Jiang was a bit surprised. He didn’t expect this guy to have done such a good deed. Even though he did it for selfish reasons, Chu Jiang always judged people based on their actions, not their words.

"After the orphanage was completed, I was too busy with my business and never visited. It wasn’t until over two months ago, when I had some free time, that I drove to the orphanage to take a look and give the children certificates and small gifts."

"And then at the orphanage, I saw a strange child, the same boy you saw before."

When talking about this, Zhang Dafu’s expression was complicated. On one hand, he was scared, but on the other hand, he wished the boy was still here.

"The people at the orphanage said this child has autism, and his eyes suddenly turned red in the past few days, but the doctors couldn’t find anything wrong after examining him."

"I didn’t think much at first, but after that child saw me, he insisted that I take him away."

"And he showed me ghost-like abilities. Though I was afraid, for the sake of my life, I had to take him with me."

"I named him Xiao Shun, and though he didn’t talk, he followed me all day. Wherever I went, he went too. He even helped me solve some troublesome business matters."

"So my feelings towards his existence are quite complicated."

"The last time we met on a plane, Xiao Shun inexplicably developed hostility towards the woman with long hair. After we got off the plane, Xiao Shun even tried to kill her."

"That was the first time I realized how dangerous this child was."

"The woman with long hair was not easy to deal with. In the end, not only did Xiao Shun fail to kill her, but he was also forcefully subdued by her."

"After the woman asked me about Xiao Shun’s background, she just told me not to worry about this matter anymore. She said that professionals would handle this child."

"Since then, I have never seen Xiao Shun again…" Zhang Dafu sighed as he talked.

Chu Jiang was lost in thought, thinking that he must be a child possessed by a ghost who miraculously survived.

However, after becoming the Ghost Master, he couldn’t control this power very well and instead was heavily influenced by the ghosts.

When Chu Jiang first saw Xiao Shun, he almost thought he was a ghost.

As for why Xiao Shun suddenly wanted to kill Yuwen Ting, it was likely due to the influence of the ghost inside him.

In the end, Yuwen Ting should have sent him to Research Institute No. 21 for treatment. If Chu Jiang makes a call to ask, he should be able to find out where that child is now.

But let’s not rush, Zhang Dafu obviously hasn’t finished talking yet.
