Chapter 71: Arrogant Behavior
On their way to the third floor, Chu Jiang asked Han Zhengde about their classmate Zhang Haoran.
He speculated that Zhang Haoran was taken away by people from the research institute.
To his surprise, Han Zhengde had no idea who this person was. He even used his phone to search on the intranet, but could only find a regular employee with the same name, whose profile picture clearly wasn't the one Chu Jiang was looking for.
Chu Jiang could only speculate that the information related to Zhang Haoran must be highly classified and not something a Level 3 researcher could access.
As the elevator doors opened, Han Zhengde led Chu Jiang forward and whispered, "The meeting room is on the right, the secure area is on the left, and if we keep going straight, we'll reach the rooftop garden. Let's go there."
Chu Jiang nodded absentmindedly.
Unexpectedly, as they walked, a metal gate not far ahead was forcibly smashed open with a loud bang.
Out walked a young man with a strand of his hair dyed gold.
The man looks to be around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with a sharp and rebellious expression on his face. He is wearing a black long-sleeved shirt and blue jeans.
The man has a few unbuttoned buttons on his shirt, and you can see that he is wearing a silver cross necklace around his neck.
Han Zhengde was startled when the metal door was smashed open. As if he had been trained countless times, he instinctively moved to the side of the wall and reached into his pocket, tightly holding onto something.
Chu Jiang remained calm, but he was a little surprised. There were people like this even at headquarters? This guy seems to be a Ghost Master.
"Do I still have to wait for her? Who does this Yuwen Ting think she is?!"
The man put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the elevator, looking unhappy.
Several people chased out from the meeting room, led by a polite middle-aged man wearing glasses. He anxiously said, "Captain Yan, please wait a bit longer. It's the rule."
There were two more people behind them, but rather than saying they chased after, it would be more accurate to say they came out to watch the commotion. They leisurely watched the young man leave.
Han Zhengde immediately signaled for Chu Jiang to avoid the other person.
Chu Jiang's eyebrows furrowed, why is this passage so wide, six or seven people can walk side by side without any problem, is there a need to make way?
Before Chu Jiang could reply to Han Zhengde, the person walking straight towards them shouted unhappily, "Move out of the way!"
This actually made Chu Jiang's eyebrows relax, but he stood still in his spot without any intention of stepping back.
This made the young man named Yan even more displeased, he quickened his pace and raised his left hand slightly.
You see, there was a dent on the metal door that had been violently smashed. This indicates that this person's physical strength is extremely high and has reached an unimaginable level.
Seeing that he was going to make a move, the middle-aged man hurriedly shouted, "Captain Yan, don't act recklessly!"
The other two Ghost Masters didn't care at all, because they knew very well that Yan Wanli wouldn't dare to kill someone here. Do they really think the headquarters is a place to fool around? As long as it's Undead, anything goes.
Chu Jiang stared firmly at the person's hand, through the smashed metal door, he could confirm that the person's physical strength and speed were definitely higher than his own.
So, Chu Jiang only had one chance, to grab the person's hand with his bloody hand while he was careless and off guard!
If someone doesn't harm me, I won't harm them. This is Chu Jiang's principle.
Since this person in front of him is preparing to attack him, he needs to be prepared to be killed by him.
I'm too afraid to say anything else, but there is one thing Chu Jiang can guarantee. As long as someone is touched by his Blood Handprint, it doesn't matter if they are a captain, have ghosts on them, or how strong they are, anyone who is alive will die!
As thoughts raced through his mind, almost as if it was when the middle-aged supervisor shouted "don't mess around", Yan Wanli had already arrived in front of Chu Jiang.
In his eyes, there was a mixture of annoyance and disdain, and his left hand was raised high! It was about to come down!
However, at the moment when his arm reached its highest point, Yan Wanli suddenly froze.
This made Chu Jiang feel uneasy. Did this person realize that something was wrong? But he was just getting ready, not even a drop of blood had spilled from his palm. How could the other person figure it out?
Could it be intuition?
You could only say that he was a captain-level person, right? This kind of keen intuition, maybe he didn't know where the danger came from, but he knew there must be danger, so he forcefully stopped his own movement.
This scene fell into the eyes of others, and each had their own thoughts.
Han Zhengde and the middle-aged supervisor with glasses felt relieved when they saw this. Yan Wanli was still sensible and didn't really take action.
The other two Ghost Masters found this somewhat bewildering. Is this Yan Wanli's style? He actually stopped halfway while taking action?!
Hey, hey, isn't this a bit over the top? Couldn't you just have not taken action in the first place?
At this moment, the others in the meeting room also noticed that something was wrong outside, and people started leaving one by one.
Right now, Yan Wanli, who held his hands up without moving, naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.
Of course, many people were also paying attention to the young man who had a calm expression, like a fierce tiger ready to pounce, staring intently at Yan Wanli.
Under the gaze of everyone, Yan Wanli's expression became somewhat stiff.
His eyes quickly changed, and his teeth made a slight grinding motion, as if he was determined to bring down this weak-looking Ghost Master by slapping his hand away.
This made Chu Jiang confused. Did he know it was dangerous and still insist on going? Is he that concerned about his reputation? Then why don't you take a picture and give it a try?
Just when Chu Jiang was extremely focused, just when his right hand was itching to move, Yan Wanli's left hand swung down a few centimeters and bounced back.
This left Chu Jiang speechless. Why don't you take action then? How come you suddenly got scared?
You see, it was also a burden for Chu Jiang to maintain such a concentrated and focused state of mind for a long time.
Of course, the people watching also noticed this bouncing back movement. For a moment, they were puzzled. What are they doing? Why do they look like they want to act but dare not?
Seeing the situation at a standstill, someone whispered to ask what happened.
Some people stared at Chu Jiang with sharp eyes and said, "He has a powerful ghost on him, or maybe a powerful seal. I can sense it. Perhaps that's why Yan Wanli stopped halfway through."
An old man with a cane coughed and said, "Maybe it is the one watching us here. I told you, young people being too impatient is not a good thing. Remember, there is always someone better than you, and there are always things beyond your imagination."
Everyone knew exactly who the old man was referring to as "the one." He was one of the top members of the headquarters.
