Ghost Catching System

The toad watched the short film, his eyes bulging.

Shocked, the toad said, ”With such a ’Divine Artifact,’ why didn’t you bring it out sooner... eh! It’s only ten seconds long.”

Chu Hao put away his phone and said, ”Okay, time to go.”

The toad, itching for more, pleaded urgently, ”Let me watch it again, and we’ll call all previous matters even.”

Chu Hao looked at the toad speechlessly. Doesn’t this creature have any sense of shame? Admittedly, when he first saw the short video, he was also astounded, but the toad was much more direct about it.

Chu Hao let the toad watch it one more time, but when the toad wanted to watch it a third time, Chu Hao ignored him completely.

Chu Hao walked up to Ma Bozhen and said, ”Grandpa Ma, sorry to have troubled you.”

Ma Bozhen waved his hand and said, ”No trouble at all. I just never expected that Little Chu was not an ordinary person.”

Ma Qingyu came to a realization and quickly asked, ”Chu Hao, what is that thing?”

The toad glanced sidelong at Ma Qingyu and said, ”Beauty, don’t think just because you’re pretty I won’t lay a hand on you. I am a Dragon, not a ’thing.’”

Ma Qingyu was startled, and even Ma Bozhen was somewhat afraid of the toad.

Chu Hao glared at the toad and said, ”It’s just a mutant variety of toads. Just think of it as a parrot.”

Ma Qingyu uttered an ”Oh,” suddenly blushing. She remembered the previous scene, which was utterly embarrassing.

Feeling a bit embarrassed himself, Chu Hao quickly said, ”I’m leaving now. Grandpa Ma, I’ll need to ask for your help again some other time.”

Ma Bozhen nodded and said, ”Sure.”

Just as Chu Hao was about to leave, Ma Qingyu suddenly said, ”Wait, our news department has already been set up. Aren’t you going to take a look?”

Chu Hao shook his head and said, ”I won’t be visiting. Just give me my share of the year-end bonus.”

”Alright, I’ll walk you out.”

「...」

Chu Hao had just returned when Luo Yan came looking for Diao Chan.

Chu Hao didn’t tell her the truth, because he was afraid she would worry. He explained that Diao Chan had left for a while to attend to important matters.

Luo Yan was very skeptical and even joked, ”Did you hide Diao Chan away?”

Chu Hao said, ”Why would I hide her?”

Luo Yan stopped joking and asked, ”Where has Chan’er gone?”

Chu Hao sighed and said, ”She won’t be back for a long time. Don’t ask anymore.”

Chu Hao was also anxious. He even thought about having Bai Ling accompany him to Tibet to rescue someone, but he had no idea where Bai Ling had gone.

Luo Yan frowned and said, ”What exactly happened?”

Chu Hao shook his head and said, ”Aren’t you busy? I heard your fashion design company is about to launch.”

Luo Yan nodded and said, ”That’s why I came looking for Chan’er, the shareholder. As for you, who lent me the money, I plan to give you a seventy percent share. I’ll consider the money you lent me as an investment.”

Chu Hao said speechlessly, ”Sister Luo Yan, you’re being too cunning! You borrowed money from me, and now it’s turning into my investment.”

Luo Yan giggled and said, ”Who else but you, the big boss now? I can hardly believe it. To think that you used to tell fortunes on the bridge for a bit of money. Are you still the same person you were back then?”

Luo Yan’s words hit home. Indeed, Chu Hao had changed drastically in a very short span of time.

Chu Hao rubbed his hands and said, ”I’m still me. Speaking of which, Sister Luo Yan, what compensation are you planning to give me for the money?”

Luo Yan struck a pose that showcased her devilish figure in astonishing proportion, especially her legs. Her legs were perfect, like a work of art—smooth, straight, and silky.

Luo Yan said pitifully, ”I don’t have a penny to my name right now. Even my mother has been poached by you to manage your company. It’s not easy borrowing money to do business. What more compensation could you want?”

Speaking of Luo Yan’s mother, she was diligently managing the Ritian Group for Chu Hao.

Seeing her pitiful look, Chu Hao felt a bit hesitant and said, ”We’ve known each other for so long. Do you still not understand me? Compensation and all that... I was just joking with you.”

Luo Yan, a cunning woman herself, said, ”It’s precisely because I know you that I have to be wary. You’ve become too slick, and who knows how many women you have on the side now.”

Chu Hao spoke seriously, ”I don’t have any women on the side.”

Luo Yan rolled her eyes and said, ”Weren’t you caught cheating last time? Have you forgotten about that? I’m only telling you the truth because I see you as a little brother. You’re young and can’t resist temptation. Don’t go too far with some things. What if you get someone pregnant one day? Then see what you’ll do.”

Hearing this, Chu Hao felt like vomiting blood.

As Heaven and Earth are my witness, I haven’t messed around with other women! I’ve wanted to, but something unexpected always happens.

Chu Hao said speechlessly, ”Do you believe me or not? Aside from the drinking incidents, I’m completely clean now.”

Luo Yan said in surprise, ”Really?”

Chu Hao spoke earnestly, ”Absolutely true.”

Luo Yan was clearly unconvinced. ”You’re just saying that. What about Chan’er then? You mean to tell me you’ve never... *you know*... with her?”

Luo Yan was still Luo Yan, her questions always so sharp. When the two of them chatted, it was just like talking with good ’buddies.’

Chu Hao said awkwardly, ”Truly, nothing.”

Luo Yan looked at Chu Hao with disbelief, sizing him up, and said, ”Is there something wrong with you... physically?”

Chu Hao knew exactly what she was implying and replied speechlessly, ”How could I possibly have a problem like that already?”

Luo Yan asked curiously, ”Isn’t that it? It’s been so long, and you haven’t done anything with Chan’er. I find that hard to believe.”

Damn! I can’t believe it either!

It’s simply unbelievable.

I still remember the original reason I summoned Diao Chan was to satisfy my loser-heart’s desires. I never imagined that after all this time, it would only amount to kisses and hugs.

Chu Hao sighed and said, ”I can’t believe it myself.”

With caution, Luo Yan asked, ”Little Maozi, there are no insurmountable hurdles in life. Sexual orientation can be... well, it can be changed. Want your big sister to help?”

My ass!

You’re actually doubting if Brother Hao is straight?!

Chu Hao glared at her fiercely and said, ”Don’t talk nonsense! How could I have a problem? Haven’t you... experienced it before?”

Luo Yan shook her head and said, ”Big sister is wondering... did you use a prop last time?”

Damn!

This is getting dirtier by the second.

What Chu Hao couldn’t stand the most was Luo Yan’s skeptical gaze, doubting if he was even a normal man.

Chu Hao grabbed Luo Yan’s hand and said, ”Whether I used a prop or not, come with me and you’ll find out.”

Luo Yan quickly struggled free, her face reddening as she said, ”Big sister was just joking.”

Chu Hao kept a straight face and said, ”Not funny.”

Luo Yan consoled him, ”Don’t be angry! If you’re really interested, I can introduce someone to you.”

There’s actually such a good deal?

What’s gotten into Luo Yan today? Why is she so curious about my sexual orientation?

”Who?” Chu Hao asked.

Luo Yan rolled her eyes and said, ”You’re really considering it, huh? How could you do that to Chan’er? You really are a hopeless casanova.”

Chu Hao spoke seriously, ”I’d refuse anyone else, but if it’s Sister Luo Yan... well, I might give it a try.”

Luo Yan said, ”Big sister has a boyfriend now.”

Chu Hao was stunned, suddenly falling silent.

The thought unexpectedly crossed his mind: Where is your boyfriend? I’m going to beat him to death.
