Ghost Catching System
Chapter 138: Touch and Jump (Third Update)_1
With that, the handcuffs were snapped directly onto Ma Li's wrists.
"You! You... dare to cuff me!!" Ma Li completely broke down, unable to believe this was real.
Chu Hao added fuel to the fire, sneering, "I think this woman has mental issues. It's better to let the psychiatric hospital handle her! Even if she's not crazy now, she will be by tomorrow."
Everyone was stunned.
The two police officers, especially, shivered with horror as they recalled Wang Qi's miserable state from moments before.
The tall policeman reacted the quickest. He picked up his phone, dialed, and said, "Hello! Is this the psychiatric hospital? I'm a police officer from the Southwest District. Can you send someone to Star Dream High School? I have a psychiatric patient here."
Ma Li was speechless for a moment. Then, she lunged, trying to scratch the police officer's face. So furious she was about to explode, she screamed, "You're the crazy one! Your whole family is crazy! I'll kill you all! I'll kill you all!"
Seeing her so emotional, wanting to kill everyone... is she really crazy?
The tall policeman's expression turned cold. He spoke into the phone again, "Send someone quickly! The patient is severely ill. Bring a stretcher and a tranquilizer gun. I suspect she has violent mania."
Violent mania?
"You're not wrong there, buddy," the other officer muttered.
Everyone shuddered. Ma Li's luck was truly terrible.
With Ma Li taken away, calm was finally restored. Even now, the students of Class 164, Year Three, had yet to fully process what had happened.
Zhang Qun laughed and said, "Brother Chu, let's have a meal together when you're free. This is my private phone number; call me if you need anything. I won't disturb your class anymore."
Saying this, Zhang Qun took out a golden business card. He was an influential chairman in Anli City, with a family fortune in the billions; few people ever received his business card so readily.
Chu Hao pocketed the business card and said with a smile, "Big bro, let me give you a piece of advice."
Zhang Qun looked puzzled.
"I just did a reading for you. The day after tomorrow, go home and burn some paper money for your ancestor Zhang Deming, and your child will be fine."
"Child?!" Zhang Qun was very confused; he didn't have any children.
Chu Hao did a quick calculation with his fingers and said, "If I'm not mistaken, your wife must be pregnant, but there's going to be a complication the day after tomorrow. Just burn the paper money, and everything will be fine."
The group of people looked at him with astonishment, then turned their gaze to Zhang Qun, wanting to confirm if it was true.
Zhang Qun grabbed his phone, his hands shaking as he dialed his wife. "Honey! Are you pregnant?"
"You... how did you know? Did you have someone follow me?" The woman on the other end sounded angry.
Zhang Qun was ecstatic and roared back, "Is it... really true?"
"What do you think?" Zhang Qun's wife replied dismissively.
"Haha... haha! Brother Chu, you're simply amazing! Sorry, I have to go now."
Zhang Qun seemed almost crazed as he dashed out, his excitement palpable.
"DING... Host has successfully shown off, earning 70 Pretentiousness Points."
See? I am a walking show-off.
Looking at everyone else, their faces were blank, as if they had been given a hypnotic drug. They were left dumbfounded by Chu Hao's consecutive displays of showing off.
Chu Hao wasn't worried. As the King of Show-offs, why should I care what others think?
The students felt like they were meeting Chu Hao for the first time.
After everyone involved in the incident left, it was clear that class could not continue. The students all rushed to surround Chu Hao.
Li Yin, in particular, said, "That's just amazing! You've kept this a secret from me for so long, damn it!"
Chu Hao rolled his eyes and said, "When did I ever hide it from you? Fortune-telling has always been my main gig."
Li Yin said excitedly, "Haha... then quickly do a reading for me!"
Chu Hao replied, "Don't worry, bro, I've already done one for you. If you work hard, you'll definitely get into a good school."
Li Yin laughed. "Haha..."
Chu Hao continued, "It's just that you'll stay single for your entire time at university."
Li Yin was speechless. He went nuts, begging for a way to break the curse.
Mu Yuxun said excitedly, "Chu Hao, do a reading for me!"
A guy with glasses asked, "Chu Hao, can I get into a top-tier university?"
A crowd of classmates gathered around.
Being the center of attention like this... there's just no helping it. Being popular is such a headache.
At that moment, everyone envied Li Yin because, in the entire class, he was Chu Hao's best bro.
After class, Mu Yuxun approached Chu Hao and said, "Chu Hao, come to my house for dinner!"
The crowd was envious. The school beauty had personally invited him; Chu Hao was definitely in luck with the ladies.
However, faced with the school beauty's dinner invitation, Chu Hao asked, "Is Sister Yu Fei around?"
"She's working overtime," Mu Yuxun replied.
"Then I'm not going."
Are you kidding me? My time is worth tens of thousands a minute. Eat with *you*? I'd rather have dinner with my celebrity girl.
With a pout, Mu Yuxun asked, "How could you refuse?"
"Why can't I refuse?"
With that one sentence, Mu Yuxun was left speechless.
After Chu Hao left with Li Yin, Mu Yuxun stamped her foot and huffed, "Who does he think he is? Fine, don't come if you don't want to!"
Li Yin said excitedly, "You even refused the school beauty to have dinner with me! Bro, I'm so touched!"
Chu Hao glanced at him sideways and said, "You're overthinking it. That girl is too annoying. She thinks she's all that just because she's the school beauty. If I hadn't set her straight last time, she would have made a fool of herself long ago."
Li Yin exclaimed, "Damn! There's a story there! Tell me about it!"
Chu Hao said, "There's not much to tell. I'm just that kind of person. For people worth getting close to, Brother Hao isn't stingy. But Mu Yuxun? I don't want to get close to her."
Li Yin gave a thumbs up and said, "You've got principles! I've got to treat you to a good meal today."
"Do I have principles, or are you just looking for a free meal?" Chu Hao gave him a sideways glance.
After some thought, Li Yin suggested, "How about we go buy some clothes? You're quite the figure now. How about a new outfit?"
Chu Hao shook his head and said, "Nope, no change."
Li Yin was somewhat frustrated and asked, "Why not?"
Chu Hao bragged, "Dressing like this makes showing off more impactful."
"Damn! I despise you for that!"
But Li Yin felt that Chu Hao had a point. No wonder he was a walking show-off.
Chu Hao then declared, "If a person doesn't know how to show off, what's the difference between them and a salted fish?"
Li Yin rubbed his temples. "I've got nothing to say to that. So, where are we heading now? Wanna go 'touch and jump' for a bit?"
Chu Hao looked confused and curiously asked, "What's 'touch and jump'?"
Li Yin laughed, finally getting a chance to show off in front of Mr. Pretentious. "You don't know? It means going to nightclubs to find girls. The girls there aren't like the ones outside; you can have all the fun you want with them."
Chu Hao, feeling a bit tempted, asked, "Do you know where to go?"
Puffing out his chest, Li Yin said, "I went there once with a well-connected older guy I know. The girls there are absolutely top-notch."
Chu Hao smiled and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
"But tonight we have Madam Miejie's evening self-study session."
"With Brother Hao here, are you still afraid of Madam Miejie?"
"You're right. She only became the director because of your help."
The two wasted no time, quickly hailing a taxi and setting off, looking as eager as if they had never seen women before.
Around nine o'clock, Li Yin led Chu Hao to an alley. It was clean with a retro vibe. Many people were queuing up, and a big bouncer was frisking people at the door.
This kind of scene was usually only seen in Hong Kong nightclub movies.
Chu Hao was a bit excited; it was his first visit to such a "grand place."
After waiting for half an hour, it was finally their turn. However, just then, a fashionista with bleached-blond hair, accompanied by two tall girls, cut right in line.
"What do you think you're doing, cutting in line? Get to the side!"
Chu Hao had finally reached his turn, only for someone to jump the queue; naturally, he was irritated.
