I have a ghost diary

Of course, if Chu Jiang's deduction is correct, even if he completely transforms into a ghost, he will still be himself, because there is no second consciousness within him.

......

The next day, Chu Jiang took Kujo Aino by plane to a water town in the Suzhou-Hangzhou area.

In fact, the headquarters of Chengyi Company is located on an island in a lake in Shanghai.

However, Chu Jiang wasn't going there; he was heading to the White Tiger Clan's territory, a place called "White Town," based on information provided by Jing Ruoxue.

In fact, the location that Chu Jiang sensed in the dark also overlapped with the location of Bai Zhen; this proved that the vengeful ghost Bai Hu could not have been taken by Bai Congwu to his company and had been kept in the family's residence.

Chu Jiang has already basically planned what needs to be done next:

The first step is to resolve the hidden dangers of the White Tiger Curse;

The second step is to attempt complete Chu annihilation and locate the family cemetery.

The third step is to deal with the potential danger posed by the Church of the Holy Word, who might try to steal the Bell of the Two Realms while I'm dealing with Slender Man; doing so would also allow me to reclaim the two pages of the diary.

The final step is to eliminate Slender Man and help the research institute complete the task of bridging the two worlds and ending the supernatural resurgence.

If everything goes smoothly, Chu Jiang will find a way to resolve the vengeful ghost's suppression of his emotions, and incidentally start considering marriage and having children.

But this time, Chu Jiang will not pass on Chu Zhi to the next generation, whether he can or not; let the tragedy of the Chu Zhi lineage end completely in his generation...

While I was thinking, the plane landed quickly.

In fact, Chu Jiang did not conceal his actions and destination this time; otherwise, he could have used the Ghost Domain to descend upon this place.

Because he made no attempt to conceal it, those few hours were enough for the Bai family to react.

When Chu Jiang led Aino into the arrival hall, there were demon masters secretly observing from every corner, and they all looked very nervous.

However, Chu Jiang ignored them and finally used his Ghost Domain to quickly head towards the old mansion of a prominent local family.

When the two arrived at the entrance of the Bai family mansion, there was no one around. The gate of the Bai family was not locked, but only slightly ajar.

Chu Jiang then pushed open the door and went inside, where he saw six or seven people already waiting in the courtyard, the atmosphere serious.

Standing in the center was a man with long white hair. His handsome features had a hint of wickedness. He was dressed in a sharp suit and tie, and looked like a high-society person such as a corporate executive or CEO.

The people on either side of the white-haired man were dressed in modern clothes, but a few older people were dressed in robes, mandarin jackets, or Zhongshan suits that were out of step with the times, as if they were still stuck in the last century.

As Chu Jiang stepped into the courtyard, before he could even speak, the white-haired man approached him excitedly. "Thank you, Captain Chu! Thank you for your magnanimity. My sister was able to return to the Bai family safely thanks to your care."

"Rest assured, the Bai family will not let you help us for nothing. Please feel free to make any requests. By the way, I would also like to apologize for what happened last time, but unfortunately Captain Chu has been abroad and cannot come to apologize in person."

Chu Jiang was stunned for a moment, and Kujo Yoshino, who was wearing a translation headset behind him, was even more dumbfounded, and even wondered if there was something wrong with the headset?

But she did hear the word 【いもうと】 (one stroke).

Seeing that the two did not react, the white-haired man, Bai Congwu, coughed and explained, "It's like this. In his early years, my father was too promiscuous and did many wrong things. Including marrying my mother, he also had another woman outside."

"He and that woman, whom I should call 'Auntie,' had a daughter. From the moment she was born, this girl inherited the blood of our Bai family, and also that curse."

Chapter 428 Bai Congwu's Decision

While speaking, Bai Congwu was also observing Chu Jiang's reaction, preparing for the other party to take direct action and not listen to his rambling at all.

Fortunately, Chu Jiang didn't seem as ruthless as he had imagined, so Bai Congwu continued speaking.

“After giving birth to this daughter, my aunt always wanted to formally marry into our Bai family and even wanted my father and mother to divorce. My father firmly refused, so she secretly took the child and ran away. To prevent our Bai family from finding her, she even went abroad overseas.”

"More than twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. Our Bai family has been searching for my aunt and sister, but we have never been able to find them. At one point, we even thought that we would never see them again."

"But we never expected that after Captain Chu went to the neighboring island nation, you would bring my sister back safely. We are extremely grateful to you for this."

As he spoke, Bai Congwu gave Kujo Aino a gentle smile, but Aino just shrank behind Chu Jiang, pretending not to understand what he was saying.

Chu Jiang was speechless. He shook his head and looked at Bai Congwu, saying, "Should I say you have good acting skills, or that your script is terrible?"

"To be honest, I had considered all sorts of ways you might respond, but I never expected you to do the most absurd thing."

Bai Congwu remained expressionless. "Captain Chu, I know you don't believe it, but it's the truth."

At this point, Bai Congwu felt slightly relieved. It seemed that Chu Jiang did not come with the intention of completely annihilating the White Tiger Clan; otherwise, he would not have given them time to react and was still willing to communicate with him.

"Where's the evidence?" Chu Jiang looked at the other party with a leisurely air, and then had Kujo Aino come out to confront him.

Bai Congwu nodded, "Actually, we didn't know about this at first. We only knew that Captain Chu brought two women back from the island country."

"But later we discovered that one of the women looked very similar to my aunt; not exactly the same, but at least six or seven parts of her spirit."

“After my father saw the photos, he developed this suspicion and discussed it with me seriously.”

At this point, a middle-aged man who had been standing to Bai Congwu's left stepped forward with a look of guilt. He also took out several old photos, saying, "This is Shufen, the child's mother."

Chu Jiang glanced at the old photos and saw a stylish and beautiful woman whose eyebrows did indeed bear some resemblance to Kujo Aino's.

But Chu Jiang still thought it was nonsense. "That's it? I don't have the patience. Don't force me to take action now."

“Alright,” Bai Congwu smiled wryly, “I wanted to reconcile with you before, but as soon as you came back from abroad, you went to the research institute headquarters again.”

"Since I didn't see you, I didn't go into the Tianfeng Building. But at that moment, I accidentally saw Kujo Aino from afar."

"That should be the name, right? This is the intelligence we urgently sent people to the island nation to collect afterwards."

"What shocked me most was that this woman had the blood of the Bai family, as well as the curse of our Bai family."

“I can confirm this 100%, and I can even sense that you, Captain Chu, are also cursed. I don’t know how you transferred it.”

Bai Congwu looked puzzled.

"Having discovered this, I did not rashly contact Kujo Yoshino. Instead, I rushed back to thoroughly investigate the matter and see if any of our Bai family bloodlines had been lost outside the family."

"The result... ironically, after some hesitation, my father told me that this woman might be my half-sister."

"To be honest, even I didn't believe it myself at the time, let alone you not believe it."

"After pressing him for details, we found out that my father, Bai Jingde, had been having an affair in his younger years without our family knowing anything about it. Later, he got the woman pregnant and then paid her to have an abortion."

"As a result, the woman disappeared after taking the money. My father sent people to look for her but they couldn't find her. He didn't dare to use the family's resources to conduct a large-scale search, so he could only pretend that nothing had happened for the time being."

“Over the years, my father had actually been prepared for that woman to come back with a child to fight for the family property, but that never happened. It wasn’t until I started a full investigation into the matter of the illegitimate child that he told me about it.”

Bai Jingde, standing to the side, looked extremely embarrassed and could only lower his head, staring at the photos in his hand without saying a word.

"Upon learning of this, I didn't have time to argue with my father. Instead, I seriously considered whether I could use this relationship to ease some of the existing conflicts between us."

"So, after confirming that Captain Chu was personally leading Kujo Aino this way, we had an emergency discussion, which led to what just happened."

After saying that, Bai Congwu spread his hands and said, "If this trick doesn't work, I'm prepared to surrender and then commit suicide in front of you to save my family."

"After all, it was entirely my responsibility to manipulate Duan Ming'en to test you back then, and my father was even unhappy afterward that I had taken the initiative to provoke you."

"At the time, I only said four words: the prisoner's dilemma." He then smiled helplessly.

Chu Jiang was somewhat surprised that Bai Congwu was so frank, revealing all his plans so openly.

He thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we try to unite the family's strength to resist? Besides, I don't really believe someone like you would commit suicide."

"I will." Bai Congwu's expression was calm.

"Captain Chu, don't underestimate me. I once considered you a formidable rival. Unfortunately, you've grown too fast, frighteningly fast. I'm no longer worthy to be your opponent."

"Based on the information I've gathered, as the current head of the Chu Zombie lineage, Captain Chu should have become highly Chu Zombie-ified; and whether it was in the battle against the Ghost Hunters or the battle against the Kujo family of the island nation, you dealt with them quite decisively."

"Finally, you've solved three S-level paranormal incidents in a row. I must be crazy to think that the entire power of the White Tiger Clan could stand a chance against you."

"Since there is no chance of winning, as the current head of the Bai family, I must make the choice that is most beneficial to the family."

“We have already contacted Research Institute No. 21. If my death is not enough to satisfy you, they will step in to dissuade us.”

"After all, the global resurgence of paranormal activity is intensifying. With our family and Chengyi Company both willing to assist the research institute, it is still quite valuable for the White Tiger Family to continue to exist."

Seeing Bai Congwu's calm expression, Chu Jiang was somewhat surprised. He had really underestimated this guy; he was ruthless enough to even harm himself.

Of course, this outcome was due to Chu Jiang's strength exceeding the opponent's expectations, forcing him to do this.

Chapter 429 My Vassal's Vassal

Chu Jiang looked at Kujo Aino, "What do you think?"

Aina looked a little confused and shook her head. "It's all up to Mr. Chu to decide."

"I'm asking for your opinion on the Bai family, so feel free to answer."

Kujo Aino thought for a moment, "I don't know much about this family. In fact, I still don't quite believe that the man across from me is my father and daughter."

Bai Jingde paused for a moment, wanting to say something but not knowing how.

“A paternity test can be done,” Bai Congwu said confidently. “Besides, it was indeed my father’s fault back then. If you’re willing, you can come back to our family anytime.”

"I promise I won't treat you like a pretty face. If you can prove you have the ability, I can even give you some real power within the Bai family."

This can be seen as making a concession by leveraging the relationship between Kujou Yoshino and Chue, even though outsiders have no idea what their relationship is and can only guess.

Kujou Yoshino shook her head. "I have no sense of belonging to a strange family. Even if the paternity test results show that I really am your sister, I will not return to the Shiro family unless..."

She turned her head to look at Chu Jiang.

Chu Jiang then said, "Don't look at me, just do what you think is right."

So Kujou Aino thought for a moment and said, "We can do the paternity test first, and we can talk about the rest after the results come out."

“No problem.” Bai Congwu immediately agreed. If this could resolve the rift between the Bai family and Chu Jiang, this price was nothing.

“Alright, your matter is settled, now it’s my turn.” Chu Jiang looked at Bai Congwu, “I’ll be frank, I’m here to find that white tiger.”

Upon hearing this, not only did Bai Congwu's face freeze, but the expressions of the Bai family elders behind him also changed drastically.

"Could you explain it more clearly?" Bai Congwu asked earnestly, though he sensed something was amiss.

"It's very simple. Due to an accident, I was cursed by the S-rank vengeful ghost [White Tiger] that your family sealed away."

"Now, because of the curse, I have an urge to release it, and this inner urge will become stronger and stronger over time."

Upon hearing this, Bai Congwu immediately said, "There is a solution. Our Bai family can help you break this curse."

After he finished speaking, he gave Chu Jiang a general introduction to the source of the White Tiger Clan's power.
