Chapter 222 Returning to China
"Understood. I'll arrange it right away. Please wait for another half an hour, Mr. Cao."

After saying that, Iwai Hide left. He was going to arrange the escort. Supernatural items are not gold, and ghosts are not ghost porcelain. Without a dedicated escort, it is easy to go wrong.

"Xiang Shengnian, you are very good and worthy of the title of 'Yu'. With you here, I believe that the Exorcist Society will be able to make wiser choices and decisions in the future."

"Qianye, I have considered it carefully and decided to let you stay in the island country. The exorcist club is short of manpower now, and it is your turn to shine. I believe that in the near future, you will definitely have a place in the new generation of 'Jade'."

Hearing this, Qianye was extremely excited and saluted Cao Yang repeatedly.

"Mr. Cao, the reward and the special plane are ready, we can set off now."

Iwai Hide said respectfully as he trotted along.

"Okay, take me back to Otsu City first."

Cao Yang nodded and boarded the plane with an expressionless face.

A few hours later, in Otsu City, Cao Yang's four-day trip to the island country came to an end. This trip was quite dangerous, but the harvest was also extremely rich.

"If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world. I can't possibly use all these supernatural items, so I might as well sell them and maximize my profits."

Lying on the bed he hadn't been to for a long time, Cao Yang soon fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up, it was already the evening of the next day.

"It's been a long time since I slept that long."

Cao Yang stretched and did some simple body exercises.

At this time, the contact person Wang Quan called and said that the ghosts and supernatural items escorted by the Exorcism Society arrived in Otsu City last night, and he had already settled them.

“It’s quite efficient.”

Cao Yang did not ask about these trivial matters. Now he had more important things to do - the transaction with the ghost peddler.

"Liu Yin should be completely dead. We must consider the possibility that the ghost peddler will not admit his guilt, so it is best to find Zhangdong's ancient house first. If the peddler turns hostile, I will hide in the ancient house directly."

“But if Zhang Dong is dead now, the ancient house will be more dangerous than the ghost peddler.”

"On one side is the ceiling of the ghost rider, and on the other side is the ghost peddler who threatens my life. Neither of them is easy to mess with."

Thinking of this, Cao Yang became worried again. It was impossible for him to confirm whether Zhang Dong was dead or alive through supernatural means. If he wanted to know the answer to this question, he had to go there himself.

Dazhou City is an inconspicuous city in China. Because there have been no supernatural events in this city, there is no one responsible for this city. Cao Yang is also very clear about the reason behind this. It is definitely because of the ancient house in Zhangdong.

"Dazhou City is very close to Dachang City, which is under the jurisdiction of Zhongshan."

Cao Yang looked at the satellite map and determined the location of Dazhou City.

"Zhong Shan's methods and abilities are pretty good, but unfortunately their small group failed to secure a captain position, so he had no choice but to go back to being an ordinary city leader."

"Dazhou City is not a big place, so it's not difficult to find an ancient house. What's difficult is how I should make a choice. Now I may have the capital to fight the ghost peddler, but there is no way I can survive Zhang Dong's hands."

"The courtyard of the ancient house is the only way out, but the ancient house will suppress the ghosts. I don't have a red balloon in my hand, so I can't bet all my hopes on ghost blood."

Cao Yang, who had just gotten up, lay down again.

"The transaction period is still a long way off, and I can do nothing during this period, but I am too deeply entangled with the Ghost Peddler, and it is hard to say whether it will come knocking on my door."

"If all else fails, go hide in the Ghost Lake and try to lure the Ghost Peddler into the Ghost Lake and sink him there."

As soon as this idea came out, Cao Yang felt that he was a little too crazy. The horror of the Ghost Lake was unquestionable, and his method of robbing Peter to pay Paul might not be useful.

"Ugh--"

Cao Yang sighed. He really couldn't think of any good solution for a while, so he could only put it aside for the time being. Another day passed in a flash. The supernatural circle was not peaceful these days. To be precise, the whole world was not peaceful. The frequency of supernatural events was increasing, and many city leaders and even captains were exhausted from dealing with them.

If it weren't for Cao Yang's support, the island nation would probably be destroyed in no time. At the domestic headquarters, even Captain Wei Jing frequently traveled to other cities to provide support, which barely stabilized the situation. At the same time, Ghost Eye Yang Jian went to Dachuan City, suspected to have a special mission.

"Cao Yang, you're back?"

Cao Yanhua's concerned voice came from the satellite phone.

"I'm back, uncle. We got a lot of supernatural items on this trip. Would the headquarters consider recycling them?"

"Look at what you said. You are the boss of the headquarters now. You should make the decisions on major events. We are only responsible for providing advice."

In the office, Cao Yanhua laughed and scolded. He was so happy to see his nephew return from his business trip safely and with such a good harvest.

"Bring all your stuff with you and come to the headquarters. Professor Wang said he wants to discuss something with you."

"Okay, I'll go over now."

Cao Yang found a body bag and stuffed all the supernatural items he brought back from the island country into it. Then a gust of cold wind blew, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

Ten minutes later, in Dajing City, the domestic ghost rider headquarters.

"Cao Yang, you're here."

Shen Liang, who had just finished his work, happened to run into Cao Yang who was rushing over. He was still as elegant and profound as ever.

"That's great. I'll take you to see Professor Wang."

Shen Liang had a gentle smile on his face and his words made people feel like spring breeze.

"There's no rush. I'll go see the deputy minister first. He has something to ask me. Captain Shen won't stop me, right?"

Cao Yang didn't wait for Shen Liang to answer. He disappeared in the blink of an eye and when he reappeared, he was already at the door of Cao Yanhua's office.

"Dong dong dong~!"

"Enter!"

"Hey~ why are you here?"

Cao Yanhua's tense and serious expression relaxed instantly, and a rare smile appeared on his wrinkled and majestic face.

"Of course I have to come see you first when I return from my business trip."

Cao Yang could let down his guard in front of this uncle. Although he was a time traveler, the only person who could treat him so well in his past and present lives, apart from his parents, was this uncle. Perhaps this world was too hopeless, Cao Yanhua always had a stern face to other people, but he would only show a little warmth to himself.

"The situation on the island country was indeed precarious. Including the suit ghost, I encountered at least three evil ghosts with S-level potential. Fortunately, I was able to resolve them successfully in the end, and I also recruited the Exorcist Club."

Cao Yang held his head high, like a child who had scored 100 points in the exam and was waiting for praise from his parents.

"Hey, I didn't want you to go. Even an ordinary person like me knows the danger, let alone you as a ghost rider. The admiration of the strong is engraved in the bones of those people from the island country. Your strong rescue made them surrender, but in the future they may also turn to someone more powerful."

Cao Yanhua said with deep emotion.

"I know this, so I don't expect them to be honest and loyal. At least if there are any incidents or monsters in the future, they won't stab us in the back."

In fact, Cao Yang did think so. In the original novel, during the national war, the island nation chose to join the king's organization and followed those crazy kings to deal with the captains in the country. The reason why he chose to incorporate the Exorcist Society at this time was just to prepare for the national war in advance.

I don't ask for your help, but I do ask for no backstabbing.
