Mysterious resurrection, something's wrong with this guy.

Chapter 45: Young Master Cao of the Beijing Circle

As soon as Su Qin entered Cao Yanhua's office, Cao Yanhua impatiently inquired about the situation.

"How did it go? Did Elder Qin assign you any important tasks?"

"Indeed, there is." Su Qin nodded in agreement.

Disappointment flashed across Cao Yanhua's eyes for a moment, then he began to press for details about Su Qin's mission.

"What kind of mission is it? What is the current level of paranormal activity? How high is the danger level? I will immediately arrange for an expert team to help you analyze and develop a strategic plan."

Cao Yanhua had already picked up the phone, ready to dial, but Su Qin stopped him.

"No need, it's useless. The level of the supernatural event is unknown, the number of vengeful ghosts is unknown, the danger level is also unknown, and even the final destination is unknown."

"You don't need to worry about this. Whether I come back alive depends on luck. I came here because I wanted you to arrange a car to take me to the West Bus Station at Chengnan Square. It will take about an hour, and if I'm late, something terrible will happen."

South Square of Dajing City? Cao Yanhua jumped up from his seat.

"You mean the South Square of Dajing City? The incident happened at the South Square? I'll immediately send people to seal off the South Square and evacuate the crowd."

Cao Yanhua was stunned. Tens of thousands of people live around Chengnan Square. If something happens there, it will be a disaster. It can't be covered up like the previous minor incidents. It could cause panic among the whole population.

Su Qin couldn't help but roll his eyes. How could Cao Yanhua believe everything he heard?

"Who told you the incident happened at the South City Square? That's just the starting point. There's no need to make such a fuss. Nothing will happen there. Just send someone to take me there, and also provide me with a few extra body bags and some dry rations."

This time, Su Qin is most likely going to a supernatural place. Who knows how many terrifying ghosts he will encounter? He should prepare more things in case of emergency.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

Cao Yanhua picked up the phone again and dialed the logistics department.

"Hello! This is Cao Yanhua. Prepare five body bags, ten days' worth of dry food and fresh water immediately, and deliver them to my office within five minutes."

Although Cao Yanhua disliked Su Qin's unreliable behavior, he still recognized Su Qin's personal abilities and had to give him his full support.

Five minutes later, a young logistics staff member, carrying a backpack half his height, ran all the way to Cao Yanhua's office, drenched in sweat from exhaustion.

"Report to the captain! Supplies are ready: five gold body bags, ten days' worth of dry rations and fresh water, two specially made pistols, one hundred rounds of ammunition, and three first-aid kits."

Report complete! Seeking instructions!

The logistics staff put down their backpacks and reported while panting.

"Alright, you can go back now."

Cao Yanhua waved his hand to dismiss the logistics personnel and said to Su Qin:

"I'll have Cao Yang drive you to Chengnan Square, and try to get there ahead of time."

In addition, your official appointment document has been approved, your identity and permissions have been entered into the system, and your identity and permissions are on par with Zhang Jun's.

Second only to me and Elder Qin, you can freely access any document from the Investigation Bureau, and at any time mobilize reserve members and expert teams from the Bureau.

Su Qin's authority was granted by his superiors, and no one could interfere with it. Currently, Su Qin's authority is even higher than that of the other managers in the Investigation Bureau. Even he, as the combat commander, cannot arbitrarily assign Su Qin.

Su Qin didn't feel anything was wrong with any of this; in fact, he was a little surprised. His superiors had given him such great authority, which was almost the highest level a Ghost Master could reach. Zhang Jun was only at this level. It must not only be Qin Lao's idea, but the three ghosts he had brought back earlier also played a role.

Su Qin waited in the office for a few minutes, and then saw a somewhat nonchalant young man humming a tune as he walked into Cao Yanhua's office.

"Hey! Uncle, you wanted to see me? What's up now?"

Cao Yanhua was already furious at the young man's nonchalant attitude, and now that he had exposed their relationship in front of everyone, Cao Yanhua immediately lost her temper.

"You wretch! How many times have I told you to use your job title during work hours!"

Don't reveal your relationship, avoid suspicion! Don't you understand?!

Cao Yanhua practically roared these words, making people's ears ring. His loud voice was so loud that it was estimated that everyone nearby heard it.

Cao Yang shrank his neck, covered his ears, and looked particularly irritating, seemingly not taking it seriously.

Cao Yang muttered under his breath, "And you're talking about me! With your loud voice, probably everyone on the floor could hear you. How are you going to avoid suspicion?"

The reason Cao Yang was so nonchalant about this matter was because there had been rumors circulating in the Investigation Bureau for some time, even more outrageous ones, such as that he was Cao Yanhua's son. After all, the two shared the same surname, Cao, and looked quite alike. The key point was that the tasks he had been assigned in the past six months were all peripheral missions, and he was rarely assigned to frontline paranormal investigations. It would be strange if people didn't suspect him.

Cao Yanhua grew angrier the more he looked at Cao Yang. If Su Qin hadn't been there and he hadn't had an important mission, he would have beaten the kid up on the spot. He was just too infuriating.

Cao Yang is the only son of the Cao family. He was spoiled by his family since he was a child. During high school, he was always causing trouble with his friends and was a well-known playboy in Dajing City.

Afterwards, they sent him to study in northern Beijing. Less than half a year later, he secretly joined the army without telling his family, and then secretly applied to be transferred to the Paranormal Investigation Bureau without telling his family.

By the time Cao Yanhua realized this, it was too late. The documents had already been approved, and once you entered the Investigation Bureau, there was no option to leave unless you were killed in action. Cao Yanhua was completely helpless.

"You have forty minutes to get Su Qin to the West Bus Station at Chengnan Square!"

Get out of here right now! Immediately!!

Cao Yanhua had no way to deal with his nephew. He knew that his nephew had a pure heart, and the reason he acted so irresponsibly was that he was protesting against the marginal tasks he was assigned to him. But he couldn't do anything about it. The Cao family was a prominent family in Dajing City, and they had served the country for generations. He only had this one son, and he really couldn't bear to send him into the supernatural world.

"See you later, bye-bye!"

As Cao Yang walked out, he didn't forget about the other Caos, which made Cao Yanhua grit his teeth in anger.

Su Qin followed behind Cao Yang, carrying a large backpack, and became more interested in Cao Yang.

"Your name is Cao Yang, right? You wouldn't happen to be that infamous young master Cao from Beijing's elite circle a few years ago, would you? Aren't you afraid of giving your uncle a heart attack by making him so angry?"

Su Qin's teasing seemed to completely ignore Cao Yang, who even showed a hint of smugness, grinning and looking quite irritating.

"Hehe! That's right, I am Young Master Cao! My father is Cao Erhe! In Beijing's social circle, I, Cao, am the king. Whether Beijing's social circle is in chaos or not, I, Cao, have the final say!"

How about it, brother? You look quite handsome. Want to hang out with me? Although I haven't been in Beijing's social circle for the past two years, my legend still lives on. Everyone has to give me some face.

"As long as Cao is around, I guarantee you'll thrive, living the high life, changing celebrities and internet stars every day. How about it, want to consider it?"

As Cao Yang walked, he boasted to Su Qin, but he didn't seem arrogant at all. He seemed to genuinely want to befriend Su Qin, though it was unclear what his purpose was.

In fact, Cao Yang wasn't bragging; what he said was basically true. A few years ago, Cao Yang's reputation, resources, and background in Beijing's social circles were far more exaggerated than he described. To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the supernatural events, Cao Yang would have truly been a pillar of Beijing if he had just followed the established path.

But this is the kind of person who actually went to the Paranormal Investigation Bureau. I really don't know what's going on in his head. Su Qin just can't understand it. If he had a choice, he would definitely stay as far away from anything related to the paranormal as possible.

Su Qin got into Cao Yang's car but didn't speak to him. Cao Yang wasn't Fang Shiming, and at the moment, he wasn't worth befriending. Besides, he wasn't in the mood to die.

Whether he can come back alive is still unknown. Su Qin's mind is full of supernatural things. But in Cao Yang's eyes, Su Qin is just a seemingly normal ghost tamer with a problematic personality. At the same time, he also put away those irrelevant topics to avoid provoking others.

"Hey bro, I heard you just got promoted and you're already going on a mission all by yourself? Don't you need to bring a few teammates or anything?"

I've done several team missions and I'm quite experienced. How about I help you out?

After much deliberation, Cao Yang finally spoke up. He didn't want to keep doing those peripheral tasks. He wanted to become a Ghost Master as soon as possible and handle more paranormal events. Since he had joined the Investigation Bureau, he couldn't avoid dealing with the paranormal, so becoming a Ghost Master was the best choice.

"No need, just take me to the bus stop. This kind of task is no different for me whether I do it alone or with a group."

He needs to take the haunted bus, which isn't for just anyone; too many people on it would only cause harm.

Cao Yang felt uneasy upon hearing this, and his expression became even more serious. He knew that Su Qin didn't want to carry a burden like him. For him, joining the Investigation Bureau and becoming a burden to others was shameful.
