Ghost Catching System

The others, seeing Qiu Qianxue strike up a conversation with Chu Hao, couldn’t hide their envy. They wished they were in her shoes.

Qiu Qianxue gave it some thought and said, ”There’s one more thing. I… I did lose something. Could you help me find it? It’s very important to me.”

Chu Hao said, ”If I help you find it, you have to give me your WeChat ID.”

Qiu Qianxue blushed and nodded. ”Thank you.”

Chu Hao said, ”Think carefully. Your lost item, could it be related to water?”

”Water!” Qiu Qianxue asked, puzzled.

Suddenly, she slapped her forehead and hurriedly got up to go to the restroom. Sure enough, she found a jade ring inside.

She then recalled that she had gone to the restroom once when boarding the plane. She had taken off the ring while washing her hands, but then the head flight attendant had called her for something urgent, and she had completely forgotten about the ring.

When she returned, she exclaimed with delight, ”How did you know my ring was in the restroom?”

Chu Hao said, ”Aside from seeing from your facial features that you were due for a financial loss, I also saw a way to resolve it. This particular financial loss was related to water, so I asked you to think about places associated with water.”

”That’s amazing,” gasped Qiu Qianxue, her mouth agape.

Someone called out, ”Qianxue, come and help.”

”I’m coming.”

This time, he had earned a whopping 6,300 Pretentiousness Points. Additionally, the Command Paperman he had consumed also yielded 2,500 Pretentiousness Points. His total Pretentiousness Points now stood at 9,900.

Getting Pretentiousness Points through luck was just so satisfying! If earning Pretentiousness Points were always this easy, wouldn’t he be soaring to the heavens?

Meanwhile, after the flight attendants had calmed the passengers, one of them pulled Qiu Qianxue aside and asked, ”Qianxue, what did you talk about with that expert just now?”

Qiu Qianxue replied, ”Nothing much. I just asked him to help me find my ring.”

The flight attendant’s mouth fell open. ”You found your ring?”

Qiu Qianxue nodded. ”Thanks to him, otherwise it would have been lost for good.”

”That’s incredible! Is he really a deity?” a younger flight attendant exclaimed in awe.

Qiu Qianxue smiled and said, ”I don’t know if he’s a deity, but I know he just saved me and helped me get my ring back.”

The young flight attendant’s eyes sparkled. ”I wonder if he has a girlfriend. I’d love to date a deity!”

Another flight attendant remarked, ”You? With your flat chest, all you’ve got is a pretty face.”

The young flight attendant retorted defiantly, ”What if he likes airport runways?”

The older head flight attendant, who usually disliked gossip and was the leader of the cabin crew, unexpectedly commented, ”I think Qianxue might have a chance.”

”Yes! Qianxue is so beautiful; she definitely has a chance to date a deity,” the others chimed in.

With a blush, Qiu Qianxue said, ”Don’t get ahead of yourselves. I have a boyfriend, you know.”

The young flight attendant, aware of Qiu Qianxue’s situation, scoffed, ”Pfft! That boyfriend of yours? You’ve only been dating for a week and haven’t even held hands. What kind of boyfriend is that?”

Qiu Qianxue glared at her. ”Don’t talk about him like that. Everyone has their strengths.”

”You and your boyfriend can stay out of my way. Don’t interfere with my pursuit of this expert!” the young flight attendant declared.

Qiu Qianxue feigned indifference. ”Go ahead then. But he has to be interested in you too.”

”Hmph! Just you watch,” the young flight attendant countered.

Finally, the plane landed. The police boarded the aircraft. The group of hijackers were crying and yelling, begging the police to take them away immediately. They didn’t want to stay there a second longer.

The police officers were baffled, uncertain if these individuals were actually the hijackers.

One by one, the passengers disembarked. They were extremely grateful to Chu Hao, but the eerie and terrifying incident from before made them hesitate to speak to him.

The pilot Chu Hao had saved walked over, bowed, and said, ”Thank you for saving me.”

Chu Hao waved his hand. ”It was nothing, just lending a hand.”

Qiu Qianxue got off the plane and immediately saw a man—her boyfriend of one week. He walked over excitedly and asked, ”Qianxue, are you all right?”

Qiu Qianxue seemed somewhat distracted as she replied, ”I’m fine.”

The man breathed a sigh of relief. ”There was actually a hijacking! It scared me to death! I’m glad you’re okay. Come on, I’ll take you out to eat.”

Qiu Qianxue shook her head and massaged her temples. ”No, I don’t want to eat. Today has been too frightening. I just want to go home and rest.”

The man didn’t insist. ”All right, I’ll take you home.”

At that moment, Qiu Qianxue saw Chu Hao about to leave. She remembered she hadn’t added him on WeChat yet and hurried over.

Qiu Qianxue’s boyfriend frowned, wondering what was wrong with her.

Qiu Qianxue ran over and called, ”Sir, wait a moment!”

Chu Hao turned around with a smile. ”Is there something else?”

Qiu Qianxue took out her phone, somewhat embarrassed, and said, ”I haven’t added you on WeChat yet.”

Qiu Qianxue’s boyfriend walked over. Hearing this, his face immediately darkened. His own girlfriend was proactively asking another man for his WeChat! Wasn’t this a slap in his face?

The two added each other on WeChat, and Chu Hao said, ”Miss, let’s meet up next time! Goodbye.”

”Meet up next time”? Like hell! That’s my girlfriend! Qiu Qianxue’s boyfriend fumed internally.

He walked over, his facial expression barely changing, and asked, ”Qianxue, who is this?”

Before Qiu Qianxue could answer, several flight attendants had already run up, surrounding her. The young flight attendant excitedly asked, ”Qianxue, did you just add the expert’s WeChat?”

Qiu Qianxue nodded awkwardly, realizing her colleagues had seen the exchange.

The young flight attendant exclaimed, ”You... didn’t you say you wouldn’t compete with me? It’s over! There’s no way I can compete with you! SOB SOB... I want to date the expert too!”

”I’m so jealous. Apart from Qianxue, it’s probably really hard for anyone else to get the expert’s WeChat,” others chimed in.

The young flight attendant hugged Qiu Qianxue. ”SOB SOB... Qianxue, please share his WeChat ID! I’ll cook for you for a month.”

Qiu Qianxue’s face burned with embarrassment. Her colleagues had all misunderstood. Actually, Chu Hao had asked for her WeChat ID first. But now, unable to explain clearly, it seemed like she was the one who had proactively asked for Chu Hao’s WeChat.

A flight attendant remarked, ”TSK TSK. With Qianxue making a move, she’s sure to win him over. I’ll be waiting for your good news.”

Someone said, ”Let’s not talk about it.”

She gestured with her chin. Indeed, Qiu Qianxue’s boyfriend was standing behind the crowd, his face grim.

Qiu Qianxue’s boyfriend forced a smile. ”Qianxue! What... what’s going on here?”

There were too many people. She couldn’t explain clearly at that moment, so she said, ”I’m too tired. I want to go home and rest.”

Her words immediately caused the man to misunderstand. He gritted his teeth in secret. He had pursued Qiu Qianxue for so long and finally won her over—how could he accept another man suddenly stepping in?

I’ve memorized Chu Hao’s face, he seethed internally. He’d better pray he doesn’t cross my path.

Chu Hao returned to his loft in Sanqing Pavilion. It was already midnight. He took a shower and went to sleep.

「The next day.」

Chu Hao was full of energy. Sanqing Pavilion was not yet open, but the staff had already arrived. Zhang Qin’ai saw Chu Hao return and smiled. ”Some boss you are! We haven’t seen a trace of you for days.”

Chu Hao said, ”Well, I had some things to attend to, so I was out for a few days.”
