Chapter 326: Showdown at Headquarters

Chu Jiang nodded slightly in response to Chen Jingguo’s reminder.

In fact, he really wanted to say that the gods of the Holy Word Religion might have caused a significant impact.

Only a few people knew about its existence on the surface, and it’s even very likely that it has already spread over a large area and formed a group of devoted and loyal followers…

But after thinking about it, Chu Jiang decided not to say too much. After all, it was clear that the Chen family didn’t want to get involved in this matter anymore. If he hadn’t come knocking on their door this time, they wouldn’t even be having this conversation.

So Chu Jiang simply said, "Perhaps the ghost known as Sleep Talking has already appeared."

"Recently, I have been investigating a Western religion called the Holy Word Religion. The god they worship might be Sleep Talking."

"Of course, this is just a guess and may not be accurate. I wanted to let you know first."

Chen Jingguo was somewhat surprised, he pondered for a moment and nodded, "Alright, if this religion spreads to our country, we will pay attention to it. But if it’s only spreading overseas, we may not pay too much attention."

Chu Jiang was not surprised by this answer, so he didn’t talk much about it. He also didn’t ask the Chen family in Yanjing why they chose to remain hidden.

Of course, Chu Jiang was well aware that even if the other party stayed hidden, they still had corresponding strength and connections. Their Ghost Master family had close ties not only within the system but also seemed to have some cooperation with the research institute.

There might even be members of their family holding high positions within the research institute. After all, it’s always good to have a way out…

After their conversation came to a temporary stop, Chen Xiaodong couldn’t wait and looked at Chen Jingguo with curious baby eyes. "Uncle, although I don’t fully understand what you were talking about, it seems really impressive. Why didn’t you tell me about all this before?"

"And also, what does the Chen family in Yanjing mean? We used to be a prestigious noble family? So does that mean I’m not a young master or sir anymore?"

"Hmm, that doesn’t sound very good. Nowadays, society doesn’t really promote these things. We should leave behind those old-fashioned customs, promote civilization, establish new norms, and be outstanding youth."

Looking at his nephew, Chen Jingguo felt a bit troubled. "I’ll come to your house tonight and have a few drinks with your dad. Then I’ll explain these things to you."

Then he looked at Chu Jiang. "Regarding Xiaodong privately challenging you, on behalf of the elder generation, I apologize to you, Captain Chu. Kids don’t always know better, so I hope you won’t take it to heart."

This made Chen Xiaodong anxious. He still wanted to have a real fight with Chu Jiang.

Chu Jiang waved his hand. "Actually, I’m quite interested in the young man. It seems that Mr. Chen doesn’t want him to get involved in the supernatural realm?"

Chen Xiaodong hesitated for a moment. "Sort of. He’s too innocent, and I don’t want him to get caught up in the power struggles among other Ghost Masters."

"In fact, we didn’t even want him to become a Ghost Master in the first place. It was completely unexpected that he would become one."

"What about after that?" Chu Jiang asked straightforwardly. "I believe you all understand very well that supernatural resurrections have been accelerating recently. Even though Yunjing City is one of the safest cities in the country, if we consider the worst-case scenario, I don’t think anyone can stay out of it."

"Especially Ghost Masters, all Ghost Masters will even be uniformly mobilized."

"So I believe we should let the child go and grow, so that he can handle things on his own in the future."

"I’m not a child!" Chen Xiaodong immediately retorted. By the way, this Chu Jiang seems to be even younger than him?!

Both sides ignored Chen Xiaodong. Chen Jingguo looked at Chu Jiang with a slightly serious expression and asked, "So, Captain Chu, what do you mean?"

"I hope he can come and work with me, of course, that would be a bit of a compromise. If Chen Xiaodong doesn’t want to, he can consider being a team leader at the research institute."

"I think there is still some connection between the Chen family and the research institute, and his own abilities are also very strong. I don’t think it will come to the point of being forced into the most dangerous place."

"Well…" Chen Jingguo seemed unable to make up his mind for a moment.

Just as he was about to temporarily decline, Chen Xiaodong’s face turned serious as he said, "Uncle, I want to compete with Chu Jiang and have a victory or defeat. It’s a promise between men, I hope you can allow it."

"If I lose this time, then I will never have any more fantasies. I will work faithfully in the library and leave the task of protecting the world to more professional people."

Feeling the seriousness of his nephew, Chen Jingguo thought for a moment, "I’ll make a call to your dad, please wait."

Chen Jingguo entered the inner room with his phone, and after about five minutes, he came out. "Your dad said it’s okay, but battles between Ghost Masters are often a matter of life and death, and it’s hard to hold back. Are you prepared for this?"

Chen Xiaodong nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

"Alright, then go ahead."

Just as Chen Jingguo was about to secretly discuss with Chu Jiang, to ask him to go easy.

Chu Jiang simply shook his head, "No need to exaggerate. I can spar with Chen Xiaodong without causing any harm. As for what happens afterwards, that’s Chen family’s business and I won’t get involved."

Saying this, he stood up, seeming ready to leave.

Chen Jingguo thought for a moment, this is also good, it will dampen his own son’s enthusiasm. Afterwards, whether to let him truly enter the world of the supernatural or completely withdraw, there will now be a better reason.

"Let’s go to the research institute, there’s a special place for that." Chu Jiang put his hands in his pockets and walked ahead.

Chen Xiaodong’s face was excited as he walked quickly to catch up.

……

After about half an hour, Chu Jiang and Chen Xiaodong officially entered the research institute.

Chen Xiaodong was like a country bumpkin entering a grand garden, amazed by everything he saw. He even said that it was different from his imagination of headquarters, more like a spaceship from a science fiction novel.

Chu Jiang just contacted his operator, Chen Yuting, and asked her to arrange the highest and most sturdy venue so that they wouldn’t accidentally break the headquarters during their training. If that happened, they would surely become a laughingstock.

Chen Xiaodong immediately took out his phone and quickly posted on a forum about supernatural phenomena:

[Shocking! On one side, we have the invincible mysterious master Ye Wen, and on the other side, we have Asia’s number one in combat power, Chu Jiang. Who will be the last winner in this battle of the century!]

As soon as the post was made, a lot of users quickly commented, after all, the commotion from noon was still fresh in their minds.

Some people called Chen Xiaodong a clickbaiter, some looked down on him, and some asked if he had started livestreaming.

When Chen Xiaodong saw this, he immediately asked Chu Jiang about it.

Chu Jiang just waved his hand and said, "Why would I start a stupid livestream? If it got shared outside and regular people saw it, it could disrupt social order. Neither you nor I can bear this responsibility."

"And, do you really want thousands of people to see you getting beat up by me?"

Chen Xiaodong’s face turned red, as if he was feeling indignant.
