Ghost Catching System

He liked Wei Shanshan; he never expected something like this to happen.

Li Yin grabbed Wei Shanshan’s wrist. ”Tell me, who do you like?”

Wei Shanshan struggled. ”You’re hurting me, Li Yin! Can you just listen to me?”

Fang Zizhen stepped forward, pushed Li Yin away, and shielded Wei Shanshan. ”What do you think you’re doing?”

The argument attracted a crowd of onlookers.

Li Yin ignored Fang Zizhen, his gaze fixed on Wei Shanshan. Through gritted teeth, he demanded, ”Wei Shanshan, tell me who you like.”

Wei Shanshan clenched her teeth. ”Who I like is none of your business!”

Li Yin’s mind buzzed, his expression filled with immense desolation. It had been so difficult for him to fall in love, and he cherished Wei Shanshan. He’d never imagined this could happen.

Li Yin felt as if the world were spinning.

At that moment, a large hand rested on his shoulder. Li Yin turned, holding back tears. ”Bro, sorry you had to see this.”

Chu Hao patted his shoulder. ”It’s no big deal. Don’t cry! Or I’ll record a video for your future wife to see how you’re behaving right now.”

Li Yin managed a bitter smile.

Chu Hao looked towards Wei Shanshan and the others, his voice indifferent. ”My buddy finally found a girl he liked, and I really supported him. I just didn’t expect him to run into such trash.”

”What did you say?” Wei Shanshan demanded angrily.

Fang Zizhen said coldly, ”You owe us an apology.”

Chu Hao replied coolly, ”The perspective of ordinary people is always limited. I can tell you clearly, with me around, Li Yin is destined to be a luminary among Yin-Yang People. When he stands at the pinnacle of the world, you ants will only be able to look up to him in awe.”

Tears finally streamed down Li Yin’s face as he stared intently at Chu Hao’s back.

This brother, who once had to mooch meals off him, was someone he had tried his best to help when Chu Hao faced difficulties.

Now, when he was the one facing hardship and bullying, Chu Hao stood up for him, declaring he would reach the world’s summit. Knowing Chu Hao as he did, Li Yin knew this was no empty boast.

Yang Ying sneered. ”Who does he think he is?”

Chu Hao glanced at Yang Ying. ”Noisy,” he said.

Stared at by Chu Hao, Yang Ying trembled, a chill seizing her body, rendering her speechless.

Just then, someone else arrived—Li Yin’s boss, Mu Xue.

”Manager Mu!” Everyone looked at Mu Xue, instinctively lowering their heads.

Mu Xue said, ”So here you all are! Why aren’t you enjoying the lantern festival?”

However, Mu Xue’s gaze caught a very familiar figure from behind, and her heart jolted.

Seeing Mu Xue arrive, Yang Ying felt as if she had found her savior. ”Manager Mu, Li Yin bullied me!”

But Mu Xue barely heard her. Her eyes fixed on Chu Hao’s back, she walked over excitedly. As she came alongside and saw his face, she exclaimed, ”Master Chu!”

Chu Hao turned around.

Overwhelmed with excitement, Mu Xue stammered, ”Master Chu, it’s really you! You... why are you here?”

Mu Xue quickly realized she had asked a foolish question. Li Yin was Chu Hao’s brother; he was probably here to see Li Yin.

Everyone was startled. Manager Mu actually knew Chu Hao, and she seemed incredibly excited.

Yang Ying frowned as well. It seemed this situation wouldn’t be easy to resolve. Still, she wasn’t too worried; with a Yin-Yang Person as a boyfriend, the worst-case scenario was resigning and finding a job at another company.

Chu Hao gave a slight nod.

Li Yin, as if having made a firm decision, said, ”Manager Mu, I’d like to resign.”

Mu Xue was taken aback. ”Why? You’ve been doing so well! And we were planning to arrange a new movie for you this year, with a significant investment.”

The others listened with envy; Manager Mu truly treated Li Yin well.

Li Yin shook his head. ”I don’t want to act anymore.”

Mu Xue sighed. ”Then what do you want to do?”

Li Yin clapped Chu Hao on the shoulder. ”Dude, I’ve resigned. Can I hang with you from now on? I don’t need a salary, but you have to teach me how to catch ghosts.”

Chu Hao smiled faintly. ”Repay a kindness like a single meal with a gushing spring. I damn well realize I owe you far too much; I might never be able to repay it in this lifetime.”

”Want to repay me? Get your chrysanthemum cleaned up.”

”Get lost!”

Mu Xue shivered; she was well aware of the extent of Chu Hao’s abilities.

Even before the world changed so drastically, Chu Hao was already incredibly powerful. Now, with Yin-Yang People on the rise and all kinds of supernatural ghosts and spirits appearing, how could his abilities be anything less than formidable? He was a pillar of support, a gigantic one.

Mu Xue hurriedly said, ”Li Yin, you can continue working. Come in whenever you want, and your salary will be paid as usual.”

”DING... Host has successfully shown off, earning 4,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

Chu Hao was satisfied. That display of dominance felt good; this must be what they call an invisible big shot showing off.

The others were dumbfounded.

Li Yin’s treatment was way too good, wasn’t it? No one was a fool; Li Yin was receiving such special treatment definitely because of Chu Hao standing before them.

Yang Ying and Fang Zizhen were displeased. Had Manager Mu lost her mind? What was so special about Li Yin? One of them had a Yin-Yang Person boyfriend, and the other was a Yin-Yang Person himself, yet Mu Xue paid them no attention at all.

Just as Li Yin was about to shake his head, a group of people appeared. Dressed in black work uniforms, they pushed through the crowd.

Some familiar figures emerged.

A beautiful woman in a black uniform, with a delicate face and an outstanding, heroic aura, spotted Chu Hao and called out excitedly, ”Little Master!”

This beautiful woman was Fang Jingxue, whom they hadn’t seen in a long time.

Fang Jingxue now held considerable authority in the Seventh District. She was one of the earliest Yin-Yang People, brought into the fold by Chu Hao himself.

In terms of appearance alone, Fang Jingxue outshone all the other women present. Yang Ying and Wei Shanshan were also beautiful, but they simply couldn’t compare in looks, let alone temperament.

Before the dumbfounded gazes of the black-uniformed group, this ”little chili” of the Seventh District threw herself at Chu Hao, clutching his arm as if afraid he might run away. ”Master, I’ve finally found you!”

Fang Jingxue’s chest pressed against Chu Hao’s arm, soft and very comfortable.

”Master Chu!” Old Yuan also arrived, his face alight with excitement.

They had spent considerable time searching for Chu Hao. However, satellites and cell phone tracking couldn’t pinpoint him. It was only because Chu Hao turned on his phone today that they were finally able to locate him.

Chu Hao cleared his throat, quite enjoying Fang Jingxue’s embrace.

Fang Jingxue smiled wistfully and said earnestly, ”Master, we had such a hard time looking for you! Where did you go? To the Underworld, or somewhere else? Could you take me with you next time?”

If you hold on a little tighter, I’ll tell you, Chu Hao thought.

At that moment, Yang Ying exclaimed in surprise, ”Ah-Cheng, why are you here?”

Seeing her boyfriend, Yang Ying’s face lit up with elation. She assumed her boyfriend, with some uncanny foresight, knew she was being bullied and had come to find her.

Ah-Cheng, one of the men in black, merely nodded slightly and didn’t say much.

Ah-Cheng knew he couldn’t speak carelessly here. These were no ordinary people, especially Fang Jingxue and Old Yuan, the heads of Anli City’s Seventh District, the two bigwigs he now worked under.

Yang Ying walked over, wrapped her arm around Ah-Cheng’s, and said with a hint of grievance, ”Ah-Cheng, someone bullied me.”

Ah-Cheng frowned.
