Ghost Catching System-Chapter 576 - 575 You’re in Big Trouble (9th Update)_1
After waiting for a while, Qiu Xueying appeared. She was Yun'er's teacher and also Chu Hao's teacher.
The handsome young man couldn't wait any longer. He charged over and blurted out a flurry of words.
Qiu Xueying was taken aback and somewhat puzzled; the youth seemed to be in quite a hurry.
Sure enough, as soon as the young man saw Chu Hao approaching, he silently cursed, Oh no, this is bad.
"Teacher Qiu, hello," Chu Hao greeted politely. After all, she was a former teacher.
Qiu Xueying chuckled. "Still calling me Teacher? You should call me Sister Xueying. I'm not a teacher anymore; I'm preparing to be a doctoral student."
A female Ph.D. student? Impressive! Chu Hao thought.
The young man beside her suddenly interjected, asking in confusion, "You know each other too?"
This guy must be completely bewildered, Chu Hao mused.
Chu Hao smiled but didn't reply, instead ushering Qiu Xueying inside.
Two women can make for quite the scene, and with a few more, it's even livelier. Since these women were quite familiar with each other, they chatted merrily, their delightful laughter occasionally ringing from the second floor.
The young man came over and said in a low voice, "Bro, the next person to arrive is bound to be a beauty. If you recognize her too, I'll really be impressed this time."
Chu Hao replied, "Perhaps I will. I might actually know her."
The young man, now getting annoyed, challenged, "How about a bet?"
"What's the bet?"
The young man took out ten thousand yuan from his wallet. "Let's bet this ten grand."
Chu Hao glanced at him sideways and shook his head. "That's too little. Your clothes look decent, but it turns out you're just a pauper."
Damn it! He's actually calling me poor? Does he even know I'm a rich second-generation kid? And look at him, not wearing any famous brands, looking so average, yet daring to talk so big!
The man was livid. Pointing at a car outside, he said, "That car's mine, worth one million three hundred thousand! Do you dare to bet on it?"
Chu Hao saw the car: the latest top-of-the-line BMW X5, valued at over a million. He nodded and said, "Reselling it should still fetch a decent sum. Alright then! If you win, you can take anything you want from Sanqing Pavilion."
The young man was amazed. "Really?"
He was well aware that the items in Sanqing Pavilion weren't cheap. The first floor had the most affordable items, the second floor had medium-priced ones, and some items on the third floor were rumored to be worth several million.
The most bizarre thing was a coffin on the third floor that had apparently sold for a hundred million.
Chu Hao responded, "Is there any need for me to lie to you?"
"Just don't go back on your word."
The two waited for a while until a car finally parked in front of Sanqing Pavilion. A middle-aged man got out. Just when they thought it might only be men arriving, the man went around to the other side of the car and carefully opened the door for a woman who then stepped out.
This woman was stunningly attractive, her beauty easily rivaling that of Diao Chan. More importantly, she possessed an air that would make anyone, man or woman, metaphorically fall at the hem of her pomegranate skirt.
The young man was thrilled. Another breathtakingly beautiful woman! Sanqing Pavilion really is full of hidden talents!
He glanced at Chu Hao, but seeing no reaction from him, the young man immediately stepped forward. "Hello, beauty."
The woman's expression remained indifferent as she merely glanced at the young man.
In that instant, the young man's heart raced. He was certain he couldn't handle this woman; her aura was definitely not that of an ordinary person. But the more it's like this, the more of a challenge it is, right?
The young man leaned in and whispered, "Beauty, I just made a bet with someone. All I need is your phone number. If I win, you can pick anything you want from Sanqing Pavilion as a thank you."
The woman showed a trace of a smile, though her expression remained indifferent. "Who did you bet with?"
The young man jerked his chin towards Chu Hao. "That idiot behind me."
The woman touched her smooth chin and smiled faintly. "Alright."
Yes! the young man exulted internally. Finally, someone who doesn't know Chu Hao! I really thought every woman who came here knew him. Now he's done for! I'm going to the third floor to pick out that coffin worth a hundred million!
The two exchanged numbers. The woman then walked past the young man, approached Chu Hao, and said coolly, "Getting bold, are we? Selling my number to make a profit? Your business acumen isn't bad at all."
This woman was likely no stranger to many: Bai Ling.
Holy crap! What is *she* doing here? Isn't this just designed to screw me over?! Chu Hao thought, his expression more miserable than if he were crying.
"Sister Bai Ling," he stammered, "I... I didn't expect it to be you."
Bai Ling said indifferently, "Come find me upstairs later."
With that, she went upstairs.
The middle-aged man who had been driving was none other than Wang Qing, one of the higher-ups from the Seventh District.
Wang Qing sighed. "Master Chu, you'd better pray for good luck."
Damn it all! Brother Hao hasn't even been gone a month, so how did Bai Ling end up at Sanqing Pavilion?
However, if Chu Hao felt like cursing, there was someone else who felt even more like it: the young man. That stunning woman actually knew Chu Hao too! He felt like his intelligence had been thoroughly trampled and made fun of.
While Chu Hao was inwardly puzzled by Bai Ling's appearance, the young man approached him and said awkwardly, "So, um... are we even now? A draw?"
Chu Hao glared at him. "What do you think? Great Treasure, Little Bao, come here."
The twin brothers walked over. "Boss, what's up?"
Seeing this, the young man threw down the BMW car keys and fled. He was probably going to be psychologically scarred by Sanqing Pavilion for life.
Chu Hao picked up the BMW keys and tossed them to Zhang Xiaobao. "Take the car to the garage. We can use it for office errands."
"You got it!" Zhang Xiaobao replied, thrilled, and immediately took the car out for a spin.
Chu Hao looked towards the second floor, hearing the women's joyful laughter. His own face was glum. Too many women around is a headache in itself, but the real kicker is that not a single one of them is actually *my* woman. Diao Chan barely counts as one, and even then, I need a hundred thousand Pretentiousness Points to resurrect her. Sigh... As for the other women, the ones who are ambiguous remain ambiguous, the cunning ones stay cunning, and those who treat me like a servant continue to do so. Brother Hao's life and his unbridled love affairs... it's enough material for a novel.
Feng Yuanyuan was very happy. So many beautiful "older sisters" were around, each more stunning than the last. She said, "Sisters, today is Yun'er's birthday. Let's all go out to eat together!"
Luo Yan suggested, "It's still a bit early for that. Why don't we go shopping first?"
"Great idea!"
And so, the group of girls set off. Chu Hao wanted to tag along, but Bai Ling stopped him. "You're not going. Come here, I have something to tell you."
The two of them moved to a corner, where Chu Hao asked, "What's up?"
Bai Ling looked at Chu Hao with a smile. "I heard the Gui Yin Sect was wiped out. You did that, didn't you?"
Chu Hao nodded. "Yes, it was me."
Bai Ling shook her head. "You're in big trouble."
Startled, Chu Hao asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Bai Ling explained, "The Gui Yin Sect... well, I had some dealings with their ancestors. The Gui Yin King has been refining a unique treasure for many years, and he must be close to succeeding by now. This treasure is extremely powerful."
Even Bai Ling says it's extremely powerful! Chu Hao swallowed hard. "Then... why didn't you mention this last time?"
Bai Ling replied, "It slipped my mind then. I only remembered it later. You should go into hiding for a while. Wait until the Gui Yin King's anger subsides, then you can come back."
She's clearly underestimating me! Chu Hao fumed internally.
