Professor Guo was very happy that Zhang Jun trusted him so much. He patted Zhang Jun's shoulder and said, "Zhang, you are such a nice guy. I will contact appraisal experts across the country as soon as possible and give you a satisfactory answer."

The matter of Xuande incense burner ended Zhang Jun's trip to Guigu Street halfway. Throughout the afternoon, he took the opportunity to ask Professor Guo about the antique and calligraphy, and he learned a lot.

Professor Guo also felt that Zhang Jun was gifted. He said, "Zhang Jun, if you have time, come to Zhongyuan University and take my class. I think you are very talented in archeology."

Zhang Jun was very willing to do that. He felt that he could make some achievements in the antique world with his X-ray vision.

The next day, Zhang Jun finally had to leave. He promised Professor Guo that he would invite Hua Buyi to come over and cure Professor Guo's waist injury. Professor Guo promised to help him identify the Xuande incense burner.

For safety reasons, Zhang Jun decided to take a plane first to Dongling City, the closest city to Qinghe County, and then take a taxi back to his hometown. Of course, this would cost him more money, maybe thousands of yuan.

Guo Lan drove Zhang Jun to the airport, and they waved goodbye to each other.

Zhang Jun thought he was a billionaire now, so this time he decided to spend money lavishly. He bought a first-class ticket. There were only eight seats in the first class and only six people including him.

Sitting in the large seat and enjoying the thoughtful service of a flight attendant, Zhang Jun still felt that the cost was a bit unworthy. He thought to himself that next time he would surely buy an economy-class ticket, which would save him six or seven hundred yuan.

The seat on the right side of Zhang Jun was empty, and a couple sat on his left. The wife embraced a boy about two years old. The husband looked gentle, and the wife was quiet. Judging from their expansive watches and bags, the couple should be rich. But somehow, there was a worried look on their faces, and the wife sighed many times.

Zhang Jun then looked at the boy and found that the little boy looked very pale, sleepy, and lazily silent. After observing for a while, Zhang Jun subconsciously used his X-ray vision. Suddenly, he saw a woman in white appeared behind the little boy.

It scared Zhang Jun. His eyes opened widely, and he shouted in his heart, "A ghost!"

The ghost woman's face was pale, and her livid fingers were thin and long. She didn't seem to see Zhang Jun. Her red eyes were staring at the little boy.

Zhang Jun saw that ghost reached out to pinch the little boy's ears, dig his eyes and hit his head. Immediately, the little boy burst into tears. He was desperately struggling, with fear on his face.

The wife hugged her son quickly and tightly with her tears flowing. She kissed him and said, "Baby, don't cry, baby. I am here."

The husband was also distressed and helpless. He looked around and suddenly found that Zhang Jun was staring at the place behind his wife as if having seen a ghost.

This man had been in the business world for many years and had developed a pair of sharp eyes. So he said, "Brother, what's your name?"

Zhang Jun came back to himself, but his face was still pale. He made a forced smile, "I'm Zhang Jun. Why did your child cry suddenly?"

The husband sighed and said, "Mr. Zhang, my name is Shang Yang. To tell you the truth, my child has got a weird disease for six months. From time to time, he would cry aloud and then have a continuous high fever. We asked many doctors for help, but nobody could cure him."

Zhang Jun nodded thoughtfully and said, "Mr. Shang, since you’re taking a flight with your child, are you going to seek medical treatment for him?"

Shang Yang nodded and smiled bitterly, "Yeah. It is said that there is a famous doctor of TCM in Dongling City, who is known as the Miracle Doctor in Dongling. We decide to take a chance."

Zhang Jun nodded and was about to speak, but he finally laughed bitterly and said nothing. He actually wanted to remind Shang Yang it was likely that the child's illness could not be cured by a doctor.

Shang Yang sensed something different from Zhang Jun’s expression, so he asked, "Mr. Zhang, you seem to have something to say? I just discovered you were looking at something. Did you find anything?"

Zhang Jun was silent for a moment, and then he said, "Mr. Shang, we didn't know each other before, and you may not believe me. Just forget it."

Shang Yang quickly said, "Mr. Zhang, don't say that. Although we have never met before, I will not suspect you. You can speak frankly." After finishing speaking, he frowned, "In fact, I have a vague feeling for a long time. I just can't believe it."

Zhang Jun took a breath and whispered, "The boy is bewitched."

Shang Yang nodded slowly, saying, "A master once said so, but he couldn’t drive away evil spirits. I was just suspicious. In the last month, my child cried more and more fiercely, so I gradually felt something wrong and had to believe him. Mr. Zhang, since you said so, you must have seen something. Please help me!"

Zhang Jun hesitated, not sure if he should get involved in this matter. He looked up again. The looming "female ghost" was still torturing the little boy, making him cry even louder.

"What the hell is this? Is it really a ghost? How can I drive it away?" He thought in mind, "Well, the little boy is pitiful. I'll help him."

At this moment, Zhang Jun suddenly remembered the process of killing the demon in a dream and helping Zhuang Lele to return to normal, and then he said, "Mr. Shang, let me embrace the child first."

Mr. Shang quickly said to his wife, "Su Lei, let Mr. Zhang embrace our child."

Seeing the child in pain and fear, the wife was so distressed that she did not hear the conversation between the two men just now. Now hearing that a stranger wanted to embrace her child, she shook her head again and again, and she said, "Our baby is so scared, and you even let a stranger hug him. No way."

Zhang Jun cackled and got up from his seat. He reached over and stroked the little boy's head. At this moment, the "ghost" who was torturing the little boy showed panic and retracted her palms, as if receiving an electric shock. And then she looked up and stared at Zhang Jun resentfully.

It was strange. After Zhang Jun stroked the boy's head, the little boy suddenly stopped crying. He opened his big black eyes and looked at the adult.

Zhang Jun looked up at the "ghost" and said lightly, "I don't care what you are. If you dare to appear again, I will destroy you."

The ghost did not respond. Her figure faded and eventually disappeared.

The wife was surprised, and then she suddenly understood something. She stood up holding her child and cried, "Sir, please save my child. I can give you whatever you want."

Zhang Jun thought it was interesting, "Give me whatever I want?" He glanced at the wife and found that she should be in her thirties, with a slender figure and a delicate expression, and she was definitely beautiful.

Holding back the desire to look at her with X-ray vision, Zhang Jun said seriously, "Lady, you need not to do this. I can't figure out the cause of the illness now. I'm not completely sure that I can treat him."

When Shang Yang saw Zhang Jun calm down the child in such a short time, he knew Zhang Jun had a solution. Shang Yang was overjoyed. He took Zhang Jun's hand and said, "Mr. Zhang, as long as you can cure my child's illness, the rewards are up to you."

Zhang Jun chuckled and said, "I'm kind of a doctor, and I know the belief of doctors. I will not change my original intention and attitude for the reward."

Shang Yang knew that his own words were improper, and he quickly said, "Yes, Mr. Zhang must be a master of the world. Of course, you are different from us, the ordinary people with the profit-seeking spirit."

Shang Yang found out that Zhang Jun was not an ordinary person and might have the ability to treat his son, so he immediately kept calling Zhang Jun "Mr. Zhang" with respect.

Zhang Jun could understand the couple. No matter who faced such a thing, they would be worried and anxious. He sat back to his seat and said, "You are going to Dongling City for medical treatment, and it will be better for you to let Mr. Dongling take a look first. Maybe he can cure your child. If it doesn't work, it won't be too late to let me have a try."

Shang Yang asked quickly, "Mr. Zhang, where are you going? Will you also get off the plane in Dongling City?"

Zhang Jun nodded, "Yes. I will stay in Dongling City for some days, so you don't have to worry about it."

The couple were overjoyed and thought that with the presence of Zhang Jun, it would be more likely to have their child cured.

During the flight, Shang Yang deliberately made friends with Zhang Jun. In the conversation, both of them had some understandings of each other. Shang Yang was a businessman. With a booming business, his family, Shang Family, had a lot of assets in Southeast Asia, the Americas and at home.

The business foundation of Shang Family was in Jingdu. As one of the core members of Shang Family, Shang Yang was mainly responsible for business in Donghai and surrounding areas.

Not long ago, this couple lived in Pingyuan City for some days in order to let a famous doctor treat their child. It was a pity that the treatment had no clear effect. So, they went to Dongling City hurriedly without a rest, hoping that the Miracle Doctor in Dongling could cure their child's illness.

Fifty minutes later, the plane landed in Dongling. As soon as the group of people arrived at the exit, a middle-aged man in a suit greeted Shang Yang with a respectful expression, "Boss, the car is ready. Please get in."

Shang Yang nodded slightly. He turned around and asked Zhang Jun to walk in front and said, "Mr. Zhang, please."

The middle-aged man who greeted Shang Yang was shocked, thinking secretly, "Who is this person? How can Mr. Shang be so kind to him?" He naturally did not dare to neglect but carefully led Zhang Jun to the car.

It was a stretch limo of Rolls Royce with luxurious internal decorations. And it was mind-blowing for Zhang Jun, a poor graduate. Sitting in the car, he could barely hear the roar of the engine. The car ran quietly and smoothly.

In the car, Shang Yang asked, "Have you made the appointment for me with Mr. Dongling?"

The middle-aged man quickly said, "Boss, you can rest assured. I have made the appointment for you. Mr. Dongling will meet you in the Dongling Hotel tomorrow at 12 o'clock at noon."

Shang Yang nodded and said nothing.

The car drove directly into Dongling Hotel, a unique five-star hotel with a height of 68 floors. It belonged to Shang Family and was one of the landmark buildings in Dongling City.

Entering the hotel, Zhang Jun was arranged into a superior suite, which was no worse than the presidential suite he had lived in Donghai. After sitting in the room for a while, Zhang Jun suddenly remembered that he had an uncle doing business in Dongling City, and then he decided to take the opportunity to visit him.

Zhang Jun's family didn't have much contact with the uncle in Dongling City. He only met the uncle a few times when he was young, which left little impression on him. However, he thought that since they were relatives, it was better for them to have closer contact.
