Chapter 24 Stupid Brother



Chu Hanzhou smiled openly, "Don't get me wrong, this is my business. I was just passing by on an inspection and heard you were here, so I came to take a look."

Bai Ningning stared at him silently, always feeling that he had other motives.

Chu Hanzhou handed her a stack of documents and photos. "This is someone Cheng Jingwu has been in frequent contact with recently, but I think he's unusual. Can you help me see if there's anything wrong with him?"

Bai Ningning flipped the photo open and took a quick look, and keenly noticed a familiar pattern - on someone's cufflinks.

She opened her phone's photo album and showed Chu Hanzhou a photo she had just taken in the villa. She asked, "Have you seen this pattern?"

This is a larger version of the pattern on the cufflinks.

The structure of the villa is simpler than that of Ninghua Finance, and almost no one comes here, so the owner of the villa hardly conceals it, and even the formation is clearly visible.

She also keenly noticed that when Cheng Xiu entered her hairpin and came out again, there was one pattern missing from her hairpin.

This pattern can be seen in many places in the villa. She originally thought that it was painted by Cheng Xiu as her logo when she designed the secret room. After it disappeared, she realized that it was not right. She took a photo and prepared to pay attention to what kind of pattern it was.

"Pattern?" Chu Hanzhou stared at the white wall she was photographing, puzzled. "Isn't it just a white wall? Where's the pattern?"

Bai Ningning put the knife aside and looked at her phone again, only to find that she couldn't see the pattern anymore.

Chu Hanzhou was just like her, an ordinary person with undeveloped spiritual awareness, so she couldn't get anything useful out of him.

"Just a clue, let me check it out." She answered vaguely and deleted the picture.

Bai Ningning stared at the cufflinks in the photo, but found that when she didn't touch the knife, the cufflinks were just ordinary round shapes.

She pointed at the photo and asked, "Who is this person?"

Chu Hanzhou: "A manager of a P2P company, Yan Zegang. I'll send you his detailed information later. Can you add his contact information?"

He could actually produce the information now, but he had to find a way to get Bai Ningning's contact information.

Bai Ningning nodded: "Okay."

Chu Hanzhou smiled and added her contact information, saying, "You've done me a big favor. I'll treat you to a meal. I'll have someone send you a set meal later. Please feel free to eat as you please."

[The elder brother is just looking for an excuse to treat his younger sister to a meal]

Even if my sister doesn't say anything, I'll definitely find a way to treat her to this meal.

Bai Ningning subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after seeing the barrage, she changed her mind and decided to exchange information with him.

Bai Ningning said, "In exchange, I'll reveal a little information to you. Your company's performance has suddenly increased and then decreased, and it's not entirely due to the ghost. Cheng Jingwu is sucking the company's luck away. The people in Qingwei Mountain will most likely not tell you this, so you know the answer, so don't ask."

Chu Hanzhou: "Why?"

Bai Ningning explained, "I asked Ms. Ma Juan. Her two sons are taking the college entrance exam this year. Cheng Jingli and Jiawu want to use the company's luck to help them achieve exceptional results and get into a good university. Qingwei Mountain only deals with ghosts, not the influence caused by ghosts, so it's useless for you to ask."

Chu Hanzhou shook his head: "But that's not what I'm asking. I want to know why you're avoiding Qingwei Mountain."

Bai Ningning admitted frankly: "Because I can't see ghosts."

Chu Hanzhou: "?"

His first reaction was that Bai Ningning was joking.

How could she communicate with Cheng Jingwu’s deceased wife since she couldn’t see ghosts?

Moreover, the pattern on the photo was obviously the mark left by the ghost, and she could clearly see it.

She was just hiding some secret—like making Qingweishan think she couldn't see.

Chu Hanzhou quickly figured it out and decided not to argue with her about it. Instead, he said, "We have a festive set menu soon. I'll have someone bring you the menu. Just select your choice."

Bai Ningning wondered: "What festivals are there soon? The Ghost Festival? No, that's not right. The Ghost Festival is next month."

Are there any festivals in July?

Chu Hanzhou presented her with a special menu for Children's Day.

Bai Ningning: “…”

Chu Hanzhou: "If you don't like it, you can change to the regular set meal, but this set meal has a Children's Day toy blind box, I recommend trying it."

"It's okay. It's fine."

When someone invites you to dinner, why should you be picky?

Chu Hanzhou sat down opposite her and asked, "After you order, would you please draw the pattern for me?"

"Can."

Bai Ningning guessed that she knew an expert in metaphysics.

It was probably Cheng Jingwu's own initiative to find Qingwei Mountain. He didn't want the headquarters to know that the company was haunted, but he urgently needed to solve the problem. Ultimately, Ma Juan deviated from their expectations, making the incident uncontrollable.

Bai Ningning ordered the dishes under the guidance of the waiter. In the middle of the process, another waiter brought a lottery box and asked her to draw a prize.

She drew a princess bear card, and the waiter inserted it into the card slot on the table. She thought it was the same as her seat number and didn't take it seriously.

Bai Ningning finished drawing the pattern, handed it to Chu Hanzhou, and said, "Take a picture of it. I want to burn this paper."

"good."

Chu Hanzhou took a photo of it and sent it to Chu Yuyan.

[Brother: I only care about my sister's health and whether she eats well, but my sister is focused on her career.]

[The second brother was ecstatic. Finally, there was a topic he could participate in.]

[Big Brother: I'd rather be a messenger than give Ningning's contact information to my stinky little brother. Otherwise, these two will skip me and talk on their own.]

Bai Ningning was amazed at the imagination ability of the barrage.

Unexpectedly, after a while, the waiter brought up a princess bear that was about the same size as her. The bear looked exactly like the one on the table card.

The waiter unpacked it on the spot, placed it on the seat next to Bai Ningning, and said, "This is a Children's Day toy. I wish you a pleasant meal."

Bai Ningning stared at it for a while and found it quite novel. It was the first time she had a meal with a beautiful and cute teddy bear.

This little bear is dressed even more luxuriously than her. Not only is he wearing a princess dress made of excellent materials, but he also has a wealth of accessories: there are bow hairpins on his ears and a small crown on his head. His eyes are a beautiful sapphire blue, and he has a small silver necklace with designed letters on his neck, and a pearl bracelet of excellent texture on his wrist.

Seeing that she was staring at the pet but not touching it, the waiter next to her reminded her, "It has been bathed and exposed to the sun, so it is clean. You can try to hold it."

Bai Ningning reached out and poked the little bear's face. It was furry and cute.

Chu Hanzhou secretly took a photo while she wasn't paying attention.

Just as I was about to turn off the screen and put away my phone, a video call came in - Chu Xisen.

He didn't wear headphones and just turned on the speaker. As soon as the call was connected, a noisy voice came from the other end: "Brother, what are you doing? Where are you? Isn't today a holiday?"

Chu Hanzhou turned around and asked Bai Ningning, "He's here to check on us. Is it convenient for him to show his face?"

Bai Ningning hesitated for a second and nodded.

"Who is so mysterious?" Chu Xisen was halfway through his words when he saw Bai Ningning's face and actually had a subtle feeling of looking in the mirror - a mirror with a filter.

The other person's face was smaller than his, and her features were equally delicate, but her temperament was more like that of a well-behaved and cute girl - in short, not the type he would like.

Chu Xisen was unfamiliar with Bai Ningning after all, so he immediately switched to his usual aloof and arrogant celebrity self and greeted her politely, "Hello, I'm Chu Xisen. You should have heard of me."

“Yes.”

Bai Ningning responded politely, although she had only heard it from Yue Huihui.

Chu Xisen brightened up with a little sunshine and immediately asked: "Am I a fan? Do you need me to sign for you?"

Bai Ningning: "...No, thank you."

Chu Hanzhou turned the phone back towards him and wanted to complain about his narcissism, but after thinking it over, he decided to save his face in front of his sister and asked, "Isn't it a coincidence?"

Chu Xisen took a deep breath and asked exaggeratedly, "Brother, have you been coveting my beauty all along? Otherwise, why do you always look for girlfriends who look like me?"

Chu Hanzhou: "..."

Bai Ningning: “…”

Chu Hanzhou's face darkened: "I suggest you go to the hospital to check your brain first."

He hung up the phone after he said that, and was so angry at his stupid brother that he had a heart attack.

"I'm sorry, my brother has some mental problems, please don't take it to heart."

"It's okay." Bai Ningning was so embarrassed that she wanted to jump out of the car on the spot, trying hard to reduce her presence.

But Chu Xisen didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all, and was still trying to make his presence felt. Seeing that Chu Hanzhou didn't answer the phone, he kept sending him messages.

Chu Hanzhou's phone kept beeping - it was obvious that a special reminder had been set.

"Why did you hang up on me? Are you angry because I hit you right in the gut?"

"Brother, I'm very scared when you do this, even though I know I'm attractive to both men and women."

"But you can't be so cruel as to attack your own brother, right?"

"Although I am indeed stunningly handsome."

Chu Hanzhou had no expression on his face and put him on the blacklist.

I can't keep this stupid brother anymore.

Just die outside.

Chu Xisen found out that he was blocked, so he turned around and complained to his second brother: "My eldest brother actually blocked me because of his new girlfriend!"

Chu Yuyan was silent for a long time, and was so angry at his stupid brother that he laughed. He interrupted his chatter and asked, "Don't you realize that you two look alike?"

Chu Xisen became even more angry: "It's because they look so much alike. How could Big Brother be so beastly? Is he coveting my beauty?!"

Chu Yuyan overestimated his intelligence and reminded him, "That little girl might be our long-lost sister."

If Chu Xisen just now was a chattering duck, then Chu Xisen now is a duck whose fate is held by the throat.

“—Huh?”

Chu Xisen tilted his head, like a silly Psyduck.
