Chapter 224
Chapter 224: Like Thunder, Like Rain
"Is that so?" Chu Jiang chuckled softly.
"Do you feel like we look a little similar? No, actually we’re not at all alike. You’re just assuming too much."
"Alright, because your story was not bad and because of this hat and the information, I can spare your life and let you go now. You can go wherever you want."
Duan Mingen’s face looked urgent, "Captain Chu, I…"
Chu Jiang interrupted him, "Don’t say you want to join the research institute through me. Like you said yourself, the interests of the leader and the headquarters are not always aligned."
"If you want to join the research institute, try other channels, like making a phone call or something."
Duan Mingen had an unpleasant expression, "Captain Chu, please give me a chance. I can do anything! I’m willing to do anything!"
"Oh? Are you sure?"
Chu Jiang had a look of anticipation, which made Duan Mingen feel uneasy.
But he was never someone who thought twice, since he had already chosen to escape to Luohe City, he was prepared to die.
So at that moment, Duan Mingen nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, I’m sure!"
"Okay, recently I wanted to do some experiments with sealing objects, but I haven’t been able to find a suitable target. So until my experiment is finished, I can let you stay here for a few days."
"Since it’s an experiment, of course there’s a risk of death. If you suddenly drop dead halfway, then I’ll just have to find a place to bury you."
"Also, that ghost inside you is mine too. I’m really interested in it."
Chu Jiang said it very casually, but to Duan Mingen, it seemed normal, even reasonable.
As long as he could safely stay under Chu Jiang’s protection for these few days, Duan Mingen was confident that he would be able to survive even after leaving Luohe City.
Because at this moment, there were still many eyes outside, staring at Luohe City.
Outsiders must be curious about the relationship between Duan Mingen and Chu Jiang, and why Chu Jiang would take him in.
In this way, as long as Chu Jiang himself doesn’t come forward and say anything, using this gap in information, Duan Mingen has a chance of being taken in by another organization.
Not all the powers are afraid of Sincerity Company. Even when Duan Mingen escaped to Luohe City, many hidden Ghost Masters saw him.
At the same time, Chu Jiang’s decision to take him in also meant offending Sincerity Company.
Of course, Captain Chu didn’t seem to care about this. Or you could say that conflicts between Captain Chu and Sincerity Company were not uncommon.
This is the confidence of the strong…
While Duan Mingen was silently pondering, Chu Jiang put away theater Ghost Domain.
This was his newly written script, with different scenes. During his free time, he had designed dozens of different scenes and plotlines.
As the Ghost Domain disappeared, Duan Mingen found himself still standing at the entrance of Tianfeng Mansion.
Without even looking at him, Chu Jiang turned and walked towards the building, saying, "Go to the hospital, take care of your wounds, and then come find me."
"Yes," Duan Mingen nodded respectfully. It was obvious that he already saw himself as the other person’s subordinate.
……
Back in the office, Chu Jiang sat at his own desk and started to think carefully.
Chu Jiang didn’t believe what Duan Mingen said because this timing was too delicate.
It happened right when the lockdown in Luohe City was lifted, right when Chu Jiang became the captain, right when everything settled down…
Maybe Duan Mingen wasn’t lying, but he was just a pawn, a pawn that was pushed out to test himself.
So at this moment, Chu Jiang had to be very careful about how he dealt with this test.
Should he be furious like thunder, or silent like rain…
The excuse of testing the seal was unnecessary for Chu Jiang. If he wanted to test, he didn’t have to rush it. He just wanted to use this buffer time to figure out what exactly was going on.
This Sincerity Company, it has to be said, was quite bold. Even after Chu Jiang displayed his power, they still dared to do such things.
Besides, Chu Jiang remembered that Yun Changfeng once said that Sincerity Company has a mysterious supporter compared to other private organizations.
Many of the paranormal resources controlled by Sincerity Company don’t come from the research institute, but rather from this supporter.
It would be best if this incident really is just an accident. Otherwise, Chu Jiang will gradually bury this company in the future. He has the confidence, it’s just a matter of time, take it slow…
Thinking about this, Chu Jiang made a phone call to Zhou Wenshan.
He doesn’t have many options at the moment, this person is a psychologist, and also a Ghost Master.
First, ask her what type of ghost she has with her. Maybe she has the ability to discern whether the "patients" she treats are telling the truth or not.
Zhou Wenshan was somewhat surprised when she received Chu Jiang’s call. After hearing him describe the general situation and the related consultation, she smiled and said, "You really don’t consider me an outsider, you even tell me about suspicions of someone testing you."
"Well, I’ve understood you. A typical capitalist, starting to exploit me even before taking office. As long as I don’t die, you’ll work me to death, right?"
"Fine, you have the person with the surname Duan wait for you at your company. I’ll go take a look after I land tonight."
"Okay," Chu Jiang agreed. Judging by her reply, Zhou Wenshan seemed quite confident, so this was good news.
As for whether or not to mention the "probe" thing, it’s actually obvious to anyone with common sense that it’s normal for Chu Jiang to have doubts, as long as he still has the upper hand in his words.
Just as Chu Jiang continued to ponder, his little finance manager sneaked over like a thief. She even knocked on the open office door, "Boss, can I come in?"
Chu Jiang looked at Chen Keai, who was dressed in an office lady outfit, and asked lightly, "What’s the matter again?"
"Nothing," Chen Keai hurriedly ran over and then whispered in Chu Jiang’s ear, "Chu Le said it’s your birthday the day after tomorrow, and I plan to buy you a gift. Do you think it’s good?"
"Hmm, you’re getting bolder. Getting so close, are you trying to seduce the boss?" Chu Jiang rudely pushed her little face away.
Chen Keai was speechless, "I just don’t want people to misunderstand, that’s why I whispered to you secretly."
"Anyway, don’t dislike it. I’ll tell you what exactly the gift is on the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, go on then." Chu Jiang waved his hand.
Chen Keai made an okay gesture and walked away quickly.
By the way, the red Mercedes has officially been bought. Even though it’s under the boss’s name, the transfer has been made to Chen Keai’s name. This made her feel secretly happy and she also wanted to return the favor.
