If that's the case, the attitude of the people from Chengyi Company will definitely change, and they won't dare to be so arrogant anymore.

However, if Chu Jiang's displayed strength is only average, then they will not let Chu Jiang, who dared to provoke them, go.

Xu Wanglong, who was standing to the side, frowned. So the person who was going to treat the old man was not from Chengyi Company, but a novice?

As Zhao Dahe listened to the instructions from the two people opposite him, he broke out in a cold sweat. Was this some kind of joke? This person was the person in charge of Luohe City. If he offended him, would he still be able to work here in the future?

Not to mention the ghost masters who can pass the research institute's assessment and be released to take charge outside, their combat power is generally stronger than that of ordinary ghost masters, otherwise how could they keep those sneaky guys in the shadows of the city in check?

Finally, and most importantly, they have official backing.

If they put you on the Ghost Master's wanted list, you can forget about staying in this country. No matter which city you go to, the local officials will treat you as a wanted criminal.

Seeing Chu Jiang looking at him indifferently, Zhao Dahe quickly made a decision. He pushed aside the two people from Chengyi Company in front of him, strode up to Chu Jiang, and smiled.

"Oh, isn't this Manager Chu? We just spoke yesterday. I'm Zhao Dahe. I provided you with an important clue yesterday. I wonder if you remember me?"

Chu Jiang glanced at him. "What are you doing here?"

"I originally wanted to join Chengyi Company, but I think these people have no discernment. They didn't even recognize you. I think I'll pass."

Zhao Dahe knew very well that if he didn't help Chengyi Company now, they would definitely criticize him later. Since that was the case, he might as well choose sides completely.

It's fair to say that Zhao Dahe's words completely changed the expressions of the people from Chengyi Company.

The person in charge? Isn't Wang Lei the person in charge of Luohe City? The man in the tall hat has even met Wang Lei.

They didn't plan to go into the city this time, thinking they were just taking a job privately and wouldn't have any dealings with the local managers.

Unexpectedly, they bumped into each other as soon as they arrived at their destination, and even developed a grudge against each other.

Faced with Zhao Dahe's "surrender," Chu Jiang simply nodded and said, "Go back. These people don't want to take the initiative in dealing with paranormal events; they just want to use you."

"That's just how their company operates—it's a top-down exploitation model. There's no need to think too highly of them."

Zhao Dahe's expression changed; this was different from the Chengyi Company he knew.

After all, he was just a folk ghost master who had never left Luohe City. His access to information within the circle was extremely limited. He only knew that it was a rather famous ghost master organization, and he even thought that joining them would be more promising...

"Then I'll be going now, so as not to disturb the person in charge." After saying that, Zhao Dahe left expressionlessly, ignoring the group from Chengyi Company.

Xu Wanglong was dumbfounded when he saw this scene. So this young man was someone with a powerful background? Someone even more untouchable than Chengyi Company?

Xu Xiaoxiao looked pleasantly surprised; she hadn't expected that the "person in charge" Chu Jiang had mentioned was actually real.

At this moment, Chu Jiang walked up to the group from Chengyi Company. He looked down at them coldly and said, "Why are you all mute? Speak up."

“Well,” the round-faced middle-aged man coughed, but he was thick-skinned after all, and immediately said with a smile, “It’s a misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding. So this brother is the local person in charge? May I ask where he went to take up his post?”

Logically speaking, with such a large company as Chengyi and the support of a mysterious backer, there's no need to fear a mere person in charge.

The problem is that the person in charge is not a lone individual; he has the support of Research Institute No. 21.

If Chengyi Company dares to eliminate any of its leaders, then they are very likely to be uprooted by the research institute.

After all, these people cannot join the research institute or be used by it; they are also a potential hidden danger.

If they dare to kill the person in charge, it would be disrupting regional stability, and a captain-level figure might personally come knocking on their door.

Therefore, when Chengyi Company operates in various regions, it never offends the person in charge. Sometimes, it even bribes the person in charge to try to maintain a good relationship with the local person in charge.

For example, in Luozhou City, Fang Tianci made a phone call, and Chengyi Company sent Zheng Chengren over to help. Whether he could actually help is another matter, but they still had to give him face.

Chapter 113 Advancing as a Form of Retreat

At this moment, when faced with the other party's question, Chu Jiang simply replied, "Wang Lei is dead. From now on, this city will be under my jurisdiction. Do you have any objections?"

"No, no, how could we dare?"

While the round-faced middle-aged man was responding to Chu Jiang with words, the man in the tall hat took the opportunity to send a message, inquiring about the head office.

Soon, the head office replied that the person in charge of Luohe City had indeed changed. The current person is named Chu Jiang, codenamed "Bloody Hand," but specific details are unknown.

The fact that they were able to find this information in such a short time shows that Chengyi Company is indeed quite powerful. At least one person in charge must have helped them to find out about the internal job changes in the research institute.

At this moment, the gray-white part in the center of Chu Jiang's pupils focused slightly, and he subtly activated the [Ghost Eyes].

This allowed him to see the image on the man in the top hat's phone from an incredible angle.

This feeling was the same as when he was at the Linjiang Hotel. He could "see" the details of everything around him from all angles; it was more like he was perceiving rather than seeing.

"But why do I feel like you all have a problem with me? You've been making sarcastic remarks since just now."

"It's a misunderstanding, it really is a misunderstanding. I apologize to you. I just have a sharp tongue." As he spoke, the round-faced middle-aged man even pretended to slap himself.

"What about you two? Are you both mute? Or do you think you're so important that you can act like nothing happened just because you've been being sarcastic and sarcastic?"

Faced with Chu Jiang's sarcasm, the man in the tall hat gave a forced smile and said, "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I apologize to Manager Chu."

"And these two junk cars, I'll just smash them." As he spoke, he walked over to the Rolls-Royce and Maybach, and lightly patted each one.

Then the two luxury cars, worth over ten million yuan combined, shattered into two piles of scrap metal with a clang, as if they had been sliced ​​by countless sharp blades in an instant.

This scene was so shocking that it startled Xu Wanglong, who quickly pulled his niece behind Chu Jiang.

The round-faced middle-aged man felt a pang of heartache; both of these luxury cars were registered under his name...

The man in the tall hat seemed oblivious. He flattered Chu Jiang, saying, "As long as the car owner is someone with power and status, let alone driving a Mazda, even if he drives a cheap, assembled car, he's still a big shot, someone we can't compare to."

His move was both an admission of weakness and a demonstration of his strength, proving that he was not someone to be easily manipulated; it showed great tact.

Upon seeing this, the sinister-looking man also took the initiative to say, "I was wrong. I underestimated you. Please forgive me, Manager Chu."

To be honest, Chu Jiang was somewhat surprised that this guy, who had been the most troublesome, admitted defeat so readily.

Chu Jiang shook his head and walked step by step toward the man in the top hat. "Do you think that by demonstrating your supernatural abilities, I will be wary of you?"

"You're wrong. The worst thing you could have done was to apologize insincerely, implying that you have the ability to threaten me."

As he spoke, blood gradually seeped from Chu Jiang's right hand.

The man in the tall hat was completely stunned when he saw Chu Jiang looking like he was about to make a move.

Is this guy crazy? They've clearly already backed down, why did they still have to start a fight?

Do you really think supernatural powers can be used recklessly? The more you use this ability, the faster you'll die. Wouldn't it be better if we all gave each other a way out?

Moreover, given their argument, even if the person in charge is in charge, they shouldn't kill someone at will, right?

"Wait, wait, Mr. Chu, if you think I'm not being sincere, how about you name a price, and I can compensate you." The man in the tall hat took a step back. He really didn't want to fight with a person in charge; it would be completely pointless, and whether he won or lost, it would be troublesome.

Unexpectedly, Chu Jiang remained unmoved. The blood seeping from his right hand rapidly formed an airtight circular cage around the two of them.

"You want compensation? Fine, give me that hat you're wearing, and we'll call it even."

Although the other party tried their best to conceal it, Chu Jiang could still see with his Ghost Eyes that the disintegrating cutting power came from the black top hat and the sealed object, not from the man's own ghost.

The man in the tall hat's expression changed. "This won't do. This is company property. I don't have the authority to give it away."

"Then don't blame me for being impolite. You know, I've only just taken office and someone is already provoking me. If word gets out, how will I survive in the underworld?" Chu Jiang even imitated the other party's previous tone.

"Wait!" A sinister voice rang out from outside the cage. "Mr. Chu, just name your price, and we promise to leave right now, and we won't let anyone know what happened today."

As he spoke, wriggling pits appeared on the ground around him, as if something was trying to crawl up from underground...

The round-faced middle-aged man also hurriedly approached Xu Wanglong, asking him to say a few words on his behalf.

Xu Wanglong never expected things to develop to this point. He didn't want any deaths to occur in front of the villa, so he hurriedly shouted, "Mr. Chu! Please calm down. Give me, the host, some face and let them compensate us."

Xu Xiaoxiao wasn't afraid; she just stared wide-eyed in surprise at Chu Jiang, who was separated by a layer of blood.

Chu Jiang glanced back, paused for a few seconds, and then slowly said, "This time, consider it giving the Xu family some face. Thirty million, transfer it to the local branch's company account."

The round-faced middle-aged man's face paled slightly, but he didn't dare to bargain. He just stammered, "Please stop, Manager Chu. I'll call right now."

Chu Jiang did not immediately stop the bleeding. About a minute later, Chen Ke'er, the company's finance officer, called. He picked up his phone and answered.

"Hello, hello?" Chen Ke'er's voice trembled slightly. "Boss, someone just transferred 30 million into our company's account!"

"Understood. Do whatever you need to do."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Jiang pulled all the blood back into his right hand. "I'll let it go this time, but if there's a next time..."

The man in the top hat looked rather grim. "There will be no next time, absolutely no next time."

After speaking, he immediately left with his two companions. Since they had no cars, they ran, fearing that Chu Jiang, that madman, would rush up and fight them again.

Would Chu Jiang risk his life? Of course not.

From the very beginning, he never intended to actually take action, but as Mr. Lu Xun said:

For example, if you say, "This room is too dark, let's put a skylight here," everyone will definitely object. But if you advocate tearing down the roof, they will mediate and agree to put a skylight.

Chu Jiang did the same thing; his aggressive approach was to ensure that he always maintained a dominant position, so that these people would not dare to provoke him in the future.

As for making enemies over this? What a joke. As long as Chu Jiang becomes stronger and his position in the research institute rises, then it's the people at Cheng Yi Company who should be worried.

Chapter 114 Sleep paralysis

Of course, Chu Jiang's lack of intention to actually take action did not mean that he did not want to, but rather that he was unable to do so.

If it weren't for the ghost's possession of his body, which dragged Chu Jiang down, he would at least have kept that hat.

It's a pity, but in the end, it's still the same hidden danger that all ghost masters have. Just wait and see; if these people dare to run into him again, they shouldn't blame him for being impolite.

As for the issue of fighting two opponents at once, as long as Chu Jiang feels that the hat is worth his effort, he doesn't mind sealing the small theater into the Ghost Diary and temporarily gaining the ability of the Ghost Realm.

Chu Jiang even prepared a simple script at the company last night so that he could take action at any time in case of an emergency.

This script is just a generic template. Anyway, Chu Jiang is a good guy, and everyone on the other side of him is a bad guy. Bad guys are going to be punished by justice. It's that simple.

Watching his men flee in a disheveled state, Chu Jiang suddenly realized that his tendency to want to kill his opponents at the drop of a hat showed that his mindset had truly changed; he hadn't always been like this...

Thinking this, Chu Jiang took out his satellite phone and dialed the number of the operator, Chen Yuting, with one click. "Just now, people from a folk ghost master organization called [Chengyi Company] appeared in Luohe City and interfered with my normal work."

"That's not the point. I gave them a verbal reprimand, and they left. But I discovered that their people investigated my records, probably through the research institute's internal system."

“I cannot tolerate this kind of thing. You should apply to your superiors to find out which person in charge searched my information in the system backend between 9:00 and 9:10 a.m.”

"Then what to do next, I don't need to tell you, right?"
