Getting into the Mercedes Benz, Chen Hao immediately felt the comfort of being in a luxury car. Be it physically or mentally, it made Chen Hao feel excited.

But as the future great master, Chen Hao couldn’t easily reveal his loser side. Hence, he merely adjusted his posture slightly, told an address, before closing his eyes pretending to sleep.

Bai Ru, who had wanted to take the chance to interact with him more and build up a rapport with him, was speechless at seeing Chen Hao behave like this.

What’s the meaning of this? I’m a beauty, and I even took the initiative to acquaint myself with you. Can’t you be more of a gentleman?

Could this be the legendary weird temper of the genuine great masters?

Feeling unsure, Bai Ru had no idea what to say. She did not want to accidentally break some taboo and offend the priest. The loss would then outweigh the gain.

The driver of the Mercedes drove steady and fast. Within twenty minutes, they had arrived at the address given by Chen Hao.

After the car stopped, Chen Hao opened his eyes and got out of the car.

Bai Ru hurriedly got out from the other side, then stood next to him with a face full of smiles, seemingly prepared to wait on him by his side.

Chen Hao paused and said, “Manager Bai, as the leader of a large corporation like Shuanglong Group, aren’t you the least bit busy?”

Bai Ru replied with a smile, “Busy, of course. But compared to those trivial matters at the company, the most important thing is to be of help to Master Chen.”

She sure knows how to suck up in a classy manner. It’s no wonder she became a deputy general manager at such a young age.

Chen Hao said, “Although your words are pleasant to the ears, Manager Bai, it’s not so appropriate for ordinary people to follow me regarding the matters I’m handling now. Are you sure you want to come with me?”

Bai Ru’s eyes lit up. She gazed at her surroundings. This was a village in Stone City’s suburbs and didn’t seem that big, but it was not secluded either. There were apartment buildings around, and the transport infrastructure seemed quite developed. She couldn’t help but ask, “Are you here to see the fengshui, Master?”

Chen Hao grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth.

“Here to see ghosts.”

Bai Ru was startled. She suddenly felt a sinister and cold wind, despite the blazing sun shining up in the skies.

She cast a dubious glance at Chen Hao and said, “Don’t scare me, Master. There are no ghosts in this world.”

Chen Hao said maliciously, “If there are no ghosts, then what’s going on with the Stream Mountain construction site? And why are you here to beg me?”

Bai Ru looked taken aback. “There are ghosts in the construction site? Surely not? The masters that we invited previously all said that it’s because the fengshui is bad.”

Chen Hao smiled mysteriously and said nothing else. He then turned and walked towards the village.

Bai Ru hesitated a little.

Actually, she didn’t have a deep understanding of Chen Hao. According to her news source, she only knew that he was an ordinary university graduate with an ordinary background, that he had worked in a food company. The only time he displayed his powers was during his cooperation with Zhou Gang. Regarding the process, he had only heard from the recounts of the police officers who took part in that operation. It was very creepy and very magical as if he could predict everything. But then, it didn’t involve ghosts and the like.

Could there really be ghosts in this world?

Seeing Chen Hao walk further and further away, Bai Ru clenched her teeth and quickly caught up to him.

Regardless of whether there were ghosts, surely they wouldn’t run into ghosts in broad daylight?

Moreover, Master Chen wasn’t afraid, so what did she have to be afraid of? If they really bumped into a ghost, that only showed that this was truly a remarkable man. Even after the Stream Mountain construction site was resolved, it was worth associating with such a person.

Seeing Bai Ru resist her fear and catch up to him once again, Chen Hao sighed. Seems like the Stream Mountain construction site issue was really important to this woman, so important that she could overcome her fear of ghosts.
