Ghost Catching System

Indeed, Liu Qingyan couldn’t contain her excitement and, not caring that Chu Hao had scolded her, directly called to inquire.

Chu Hao said irritably, ”Who else could it be but the Taoist Master himself? Qin Boren sure acts swiftly.”

Liu Qingyan found it unbelievable but also became worried. Completely ignoring whatever else she wanted to say, she blurted out, ”Chu... Master Chu, what should I do...?”

With Qin Boren’s involvement, Liu Qingyan’s position was clearly not as significant as his. Would she no longer be valued by Chu Hao!?

This was her greatest concern.

Chu Hao said, ”Isn’t it nice to be a canary?”

Liu Qingyan’s heart trembled, and she said, ”Master Chu, please give me a chance to prove myself. I am willing to do anything.”

Chu Hao chuckled. ”Anything?”

Liu Qingyan blushed. Thinking of the past when she often flirted with him, she now felt intimidated and no longer had the courage.

Chu Hao said, ”Now you represent me. Go work with Qin Boren.”

On the other end of the phone, Liu Qingyan jumped with excitement.

If she were in front of Chu Hao right now, she would surely throw herself into his arms for a big hug.

”Thank you, Master Chu! Thank you, Master Chu!”

After hanging up, Liu Qingyan still couldn’t believe it. She could actually represent Chu Hao? Does that mean she’ll be on equal footing with Qin Boren in the future? Liu Qingyan, you must work hard. This is the turning point of your life.

After Chu Hao finished washing up, Qin Boren called. ”Director Chu.”

Qin Boren had been busy all night.

In one night, he had aggressively acquired the Cao Family’s assets. With his abilities, he could have definitely seized control of the Cao Family’s power quickly, but he still encountered some trouble.

Chu Hao asked, ”What happened?”

Qin Boren said, ”I ran into some trouble. Many people are scrambling for the Cao Family’s power, all of them wealthy individuals making their move.”

”And that’s difficult for you? Qin Boren doesn’t seem all that impressive then,” Chu Hao said.

Qin Boren sighed. ”Ah... it’s not that simple. Anli City has many forces. Last night, one wealthy individual, said to be from Longxi City, offered double the price for an acquisition. Later, I found out this person is connected to a mysterious organization called the Ghost Gu Sect.”

”I had someone investigate them. They took out my man and even warned me that if I wanted to live, I shouldn’t meddle in these affairs.”

”So, I called to ask you whether this Ghost Gu Sect is formidable.”

Chu Hao frowned. ”Ghost Gu Sect? Never heard of them. What kind of trash are they?”

Qin Boren nodded. ”Director Chu naturally isn’t afraid of the Ghost Gu Sect, but my men are just ordinary people, so...”

His intention was clear: he wanted Chu Hao to take action.

Chu Hao asked, ”Where are you?”

Qin Boren gave his location and then hung up.

Chu Hao pondered. The Ghost Dao Sect embedded many forces in society, and this Ghost Gu Sect was likely doing the same. But to actually target my territory, the territory of King Chubi? Are they seeking death?

Going downstairs, he saw Chen Fugui cleaning Sanqing Pavilion early in the morning, working exceptionally hard.

Surprised, Chu Hao asked him, ”Why are you up so early?”

Chen Fugui immediately stood up straight. ”Brother Hao, good morning.”

This guy, he’s obviously putting on a show for me, isn’t he?

Chu Hao said languidly, ”Out with it. What do you want?”

Looking troubled, Chen Fugui said, ”Brother Hao, I... I’m an assassin, a mercenary. Doing these jobs all day, it’s suffocating me.”

Chu Hao’s expression turned cold. ”You’re not content?”

Chen Fugui’s body shuddered. He said shakily, ”Absolutely not! I’ll do whatever Brother Hao asks of me.”

It was hard on the guy; a dignified assassin reduced to a salesperson.

Chu Hao crossed his arms. ”You don’t seem very happy doing this.”

Chen Fugui felt bitter inside, but even if he had grievances, he dared not voice them. ”Brother Hao, I’m already very happy working here.”

Chu Hao stroked his chin. ”Oh! As long as you’re happy. I was actually thinking of having you help me establish a superpower in the underworld. Since that’s the case, I’ll just go find Dong Qi.”

Chen Fugui was startled. He dropped the broom, clung to Chu Hao’s legs, snot and tears streaming, and wailed, ”Master! I am your loyal servant! Please, I beg you, give me a chance!”

This guy had even changed his address to ”Master.”

Chu Hao shook his foot, but the man clung on tightly, as sticky as gummy candy.

Chu Hao said indifferently, ”Call Dong Qi and come with me.”

Chen Fugui excitedly stood up and rushed upstairs. Dong Qi came down soon after.

Dong Qi, unable to suppress his excitement, asked, ”My lord, are you really going to establish a superpower?”

Chu Hao waved his hand. ”From now on, you two will help me handle these matters.”

The two stood up straight, their hearts thrilling beyond words. The day had finally arrived! How could someone as strong as Chu Hao be content with an ordinary life? He was finally going to make a move! He just hadn’t expected the day to come so soon, and to establish a superpower, no less!

Chen Fugui stood ramrod straight. ”I guarantee I’ll complete the mission!”

Are you kidding? Never mind him—a notorious killer and mercenary in their circles—but with Dong Qi added to the mix? Heh... Who would dare to block their path? They’d kill gods if they met gods, and slay Buddhas if they met Buddhas!

”Let’s go. Let’s see what this Ghost Gu Sect is all about! What kind of ’ghost’ it is, daring to block my, Chu Heavenly King’s, path! Watch me crush them.”

Chen Fugui drove, with Dong Qi in the passenger seat and Chu Hao sitting in the back like a boss, as they headed to Qin Boren’s location.

These two were extraordinarily excited.

Qin Boren and Liu Qingyan had been waiting for a long time. When they saw the three get out of the car, they hurried forward to meet them.

Qin Boren glanced at Dong Qi and Chen Fugui. Weren’t these two employees of the Sanqing Pavilion? Why were they with Chu Hao?

”Director Chu.”

Chu Hao waved his hand. ”Tell me the specifics. What’s the situation? What needs to be done?”

Qin Boren promptly said, ”We’ve thoroughly investigated. Behind this wealthy individual is a very formidable character from the Ghost Gu Sect. Moreover, there are quite a few bodyguards skilled with firearms.”

”Ghost Gu Sect!” Dong Qi mused.

Chu Hao looked at him. ”You know of them?”

Dong Qi quickly said, ”There are too many of these third-rate Nine Teachings in Huaxia. Many people, once they learn a few skills, dare to call themselves a faction, a school, or a sect. I haven’t heard of the Ghost Gu Sect, but I have heard of Ghost Gu. It comes from the Miao Sorcery of the south.”

Chu Hao said coolly, ”So, you’re saying this Ghost Gu Sect is trash. How long will it take you to deal with them?”

Dong Qi smiled confidently. ”As long as the person is before me, I can take their life.”

Chen Fugui also quickly chimed in, ”Let me deal with those bodyguards!”

”DING... Subordinate posturing succeeded. Host earns 600 Pretentiousness Points.”

Chu Hao smiled inwardly. These Pretentiousness Points came easily. It seems he had uncovered yet another way to earn points—showing off through subordinates.
