Therefore, Chu Jiang strongly suspected that this woman had ulterior motives, and that she might even be using him to plot some kind of conspiracy.

Thinking of this, Chu Jiang stood up abruptly, "Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, then so be it. Since you have ulterior motives towards me, the physical examination ends here."

After saying that, he prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute! Untie me first, then you can leave whenever you want."

Chu Jiang didn't even turn his head. "Wait for your bodyguard to come back, then have her help you get out of there."

"She won't come back. I told her she wouldn't bother me anytime soon," Ning Miaowei said, her voice trembling with tears.

Chu Jiang then snapped his fingers, and the rope binding Expert Ning was severed by the fingers that emerged from the darkness.

As soon as she was released, Ning Miaowei immediately regained her normal voice. She waved and said, "Come back and continue the physical examination. I was wrong. I promise I will never do anything excessive again."

Chu Jiang ignored her, simply opened the laboratory door, and walked out.

"Wait!" Dr. Ning was really unwilling to give up. She had worked hard to get this medical check-up opportunity. "I have a newly developed product here. Would you like to try it out?"

Chapter 210 A Secret Deal

"What is that?" Chu Jiang finally stopped in his tracks.

Ning Miaowei jumped off the operating table, ran outside, and picked up the tattered cloth doll that was on the desk.

"This is it. I gave it a name: 'Death Call'."

Chu Jiang looked at the doll, whose belly was covered in cotton, and asked with some doubt, "What is its effect?"

Ning Miaowei brushed her messy hair aside and said, "It's simple. Just throw this thing at the target you're attacking, and that target will receive a death call."

"Simply put, he will be killed by all sorts of accidents, even by bizarre coincidences."

"For example, it happens to be a sunny day and it hailed, and only one hailstone fell, which hit the target right on the head, with the tip pointing downwards."

“That’s interesting,” Chu Jiang said, looking at the doll. “Does it work on ghosts too?”

"Yes, but since ghosts cannot be killed, you can only cause them some kind of accident or interference. What kind of interference it is depends on your luck."

"Okay, I'll take it." Chu Jiang stepped forward and took the plush toy.

This item is likely disposable, belonging to the category of consumable supernatural items; therefore, there are no ghosts inside, only a portion of their power or aura.

Ning Miaowei seized the opportunity to say, "Let's continue. Don't worry, I will definitely not do anything foolish again."

Given that he had accepted the gifts and the other party had given such a firm guarantee, Chu Jiang cooperated with Expert Ning and continued with the medical examination process.

..........

After all this commotion, several hours had passed. This woman seemed determined to thoroughly understand Chu Jiang.

Although Chu Jiang wasn't as cooperative as he was with Chen Yehua, the results of the physical examination still amazed Ning Miaowei.

"This is incredible, you're really something else."

"Right now, you haven't fully unlocked the power within you; you've only mastered less than a tenth of it. I'm really looking forward to seeing you at your peak."

Faced with Ning Miaowei's comments, Chu Jiang had a vague feeling that she knew something.

"Can you estimate the approximate proportion?"

"I was just guessing, I was just guessing too, but..." Ning Miaowei crossed her arms and circled around Chu Jiang, "I know you are a descendant of the Chu lineage."

"Of course, you're quite high-profile too, directly revealing the truth to the world through a video."

"Unfortunately, most mediocre people simply cannot see the deeper meaning behind your words. Chu Jiang, what kind of signal are you trying to convey with this video?"

As she asked the question, Ning Miaowei stared intently into Chu Jiang's eyes, as if trying to discern something from them.

Chu Jiang appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was somewhat bewildered. What was the deeper meaning? A signal?

Hey, you guys must have misunderstood something. I was just being high-profile to protect myself.

If there were any other purpose, it would only be this: to see if his biological parents would come looking for him because of this video.

As a result, Chu Jiang saw that no one contacted him or his adoptive parents.

At this moment, Chu Jiang's thoughts were reflected in his words as he faced Ning's questions.

He replied calmly, "I don't mean anything by it. I just hate trouble. It's better to show my strength and warn others than to wait for them to test me."

Of course, Ning Miaowei didn't believe a single word of these words.

"Fine, I know you won't tell me the truth, after all, we've only just met."

"This is my personal number. Contact me anytime if you need anything." With that, she took out a slip of paper and handed it to Chu Jiang.

Chu Jiang did not refuse. He felt that Ning Miaowei might have a lineage of ghost masters behind her. Otherwise, it wouldn't be that Ning Miaowei, as an expert at the same research institute, knew information that Chen Yehua did not.

After putting the note away, Chu Jiang left the office on his own initiative.

Ning Miaowei considerately accompanied him out, saying, "Remember to give me feedback on the doll after you try it out; if you're satisfied, remember to leave a good review!"

"Stop with the 'oh'. With that tone, if you added 'dear' at the beginning, you could be a customer service representative for a Taobao store."

"Honey~~" Ning Miaowei said in a sweet tone, reaching out her hands to try to hug Chu Jiang's arm, but he pushed her away with a disgusted gesture.

Just then, not far away, Chen Yehua passed by with Zhang San, who was holding a report and seemed to be heading to the elevator.

The moment their eyes met, Ning Miaowei immediately became serious. She coughed and retreated back to her office, closing the metal gate behind her.

Chu Jiang looked at Chen Yehua with some confusion, because the other party seemed to be petrified, even his movements stopped in place.

Just then, Chu Jiang was also about to take the elevator, so he stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong? Has the image of Expert Ning been shattered in your mind?"

Chen Yehua snapped out of his reverie, shook his head, and said, "She doesn't have any image in my mind. I'm just thinking about a question."

"What's the problem?" Chu Jiang asked as they walked.

Expert Chen followed suit, looking at Chu Jiang with a serious expression, "You must answer this question seriously."

Chu Jiang gestured for him to speak directly.

Are you gay?

Fortunately, Chu Jiang wasn't drinking tea, otherwise he might have sprayed Chen Yehua's face with tea.

"Are you out of your mind?" Chu Jiang retorted.

Chen Yehua's face remained serious. "I'm serious. I've discovered your secret deal with Ning Miaowei."

"Now I only regret that I am not a woman. I am willing to dedicate everything to scientific research."

Chu Jiang remained silent.

"Tell me, what do you need me to do before you reveal all your secrets to me, including the secrets of the Lin Clan Ancestral Hall?" Chen Yehua persisted.

Chu Jiang waved his hand, "Don't even think about it, you madman. I'm not gay. And there's no deal between me and Ning Miaowei."

"She was deliberately trying to seduce me and get something out of me; I'm not that stupid, so I didn't fall for her trick at all."

Chen Yehua nodded thoughtfully, "I see. You should be careful. She's always been a bit petty, and sometimes even I can't understand her."

Chu Jiang thought to himself, "Isn't that obvious? You two have completely different personalities."

Although the time spent in contact with Ning Miaowei is not very long, at least from the current perspective, Ning Miaowei's research on ghosts is quite purposeful.

Someone like her would naturally feel very happy and excited if she could achieve something in scientific research.

But for her, the most important thing is always what she can gain and what she can get; everything else is secondary.

Chapter 211 Ning Miaowei's Madness

Chen Yehua was different; he was the complete opposite of Ning Miaowei, even more insane.

Chu Jiang even suspected that if a button were pressed, it would cause the death of 99 percent of the world's population; but at the same time, Chen Yehua would obtain half the answers to all the supernatural mysteries in the world, and Chen Yehua would press it without hesitation.

Even he himself could very well be one of the ninety-nine percent.

In short, after saying goodbye to this expert Chen with strange ideas, Chu Jiang headed to the psychological treatment department on the ground floor, which was attached to the medical area.

......

At this moment, in Ning Miaowei's office, the woman is sitting in front of her computer, organizing the valuable data she just recorded.

But there was another person in the room, a very special woman.

She looked very young, around seventeen or eighteen years old, with a cute and innocent face, but her skin was a little pale, like a high school student who had just graduated.

Most peculiarly, she had a white flower growing on her head.

Judging from the shape and appearance of the flower, it is not a flamboyant flower like the red spider lily or the red spider lily; rather, it is a slightly eerie crystal orchid, with a pale and translucent exterior and a flower center that resembles a single, purplish-black eye.

The ghost orchid is a saprophytic plant, also known as the dead man's flower or the ghost flower, and it can generally only be found in deep forests.

But now, it's blooming on the head of a living person, which looks rather creepy.

The young woman, who had appeared out of nowhere, sat opposite Expert Ning. With a slight frown, she asked, "Is it really necessary for you to do this?"

She seemed to have been there all along, and even witnessed Ning Miaowei's "seduction" of Chu Jiang, but Chu Jiang simply didn't notice.

"Yes, of course!"

"Did you know? It is said that the ghost of the Chu lineage has been passed down from generation to generation."

Ning Miaowei looked at her bodyguard intently, "This ghost is fused into their bloodline. When each generation of Chu Zhan has offspring, he will lose the power of Chu Zhan and officially relinquish this title."

"Do you know what this means? As the current Chu Zhi loses his power, the child in his wife's womb, which has just begun to form, will become the new Chu Zhi."

"This inheritance is completed even before the child is born."

The woman opposite her listened with some disbelief, "You mean, that ghost can transfer into the mother's body along with the sperm?"

Ning Miaowei nodded solemnly, "Yes, but not entirely. Considering that it's unlikely to conceive successfully on the first try, I guess it must be after the embryo begins to form."

"Then I started thinking, is it possible for me to steal Chu Qing's power through this method...?"

The young woman couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. "Your idea is really... to call it unbelievable or audacious is not enough to describe you."

Ning Miaowei didn't care about the bodyguard's opinion. She continued, "Even if it succeeds, it should be my child who becomes the next Chu Zhan."
