Chapter 314 Wang Chaling
Dadong City is located on the sea and has a very developed economy. Whether in terms of economy, population, or urban area, it far exceeds Otsu City, which Cao Yang is in charge of.
Ning'an Building is a 500-meter-high skyscraper with more than 100 floors. It is located in the center of the most luxurious area in Dadong City. However, this building does not belong to any company or organization, but to an individual.
"The Wang family is really rich. A building of this level is one of the best in Dajing City."
"But - if the captain is regarded as a local lord, then does the existence of this building mean usurpation to some extent?"
Cao Yang did not rush into the building as he had done before, but went through the registration procedures in the lobby on the first floor like most ordinary people.
"Please help me make an appointment with Wang Chaling. His office should be on the 100th floor."
"The gentleman's appointment is full, I'm afraid it won't be possible today."
The front desk staff was embarrassed. In fact, she didn't know the name of the young, handsome, successful, rich and handsome man on the 100th floor until today. And it was always that man who invited others. Those who took the initiative to meet him were all asked to leave without exception.
"Even so?"
Cao Yang took out his supervisor's ID from his chest pocket. With the level of a front desk staff, it was impossible for him to know who the supervisor was, but all employees who could work in this building could be more or less called elites.
Words can be fabricated, but the seal on the certificate cannot. In the country, no person or organization is bold enough to forge such a thing.
"Please wait a moment. I will go and ask our leader for instructions."
The female employee's expression became a little solemn. She didn't dare to make a decision or judgment easily on such matters, but she had no way to contact Wang Chaling directly, so she could only choose this compromise.
"It's okay. I'll wait for you."
Cao Yang found a seat nearby and sat down. At the same time, another staff member brought him a cup of coffee at the right time.
About five minutes later, the female employee came back.
"You can go up now. Mr. Wang said you are a distinguished guest and asked me to show you the way."
"Thank you."
The two of them boarded the building's VIP-only elevator, one in front of the other.
"drop--!"
"We're already there. This floor is where Mr. Wang usually works. He's in the office in the front."
As Cao Yang walked out of the elevator, a woman who looked like a secretary came over, giving people a very capable feeling.
"Captain Cao, please come this way. Captain Wang sent me to receive you. Captain Wang feels that his attire is not formal enough and is changing now. I hope Captain Cao won't blame me."
The woman spoke with confidence, as if working for Wang Chaling gave her a sense of accomplishment.
"Ah Zhen, you should leave work early today. Captain Cao and I have some important business to discuss."
In a room next door, Wang Chaling, who had just changed into a casual suit, walked out. As recorded in the archives and materials, Wang Chaling was handsome, wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and looked gentle and refined.
"I'm sorry to have kept Captain Cao waiting for so long. I'm dressed a little casually today, which is definitely not appropriate for meeting Captain Cao, so I changed my clothes temporarily. I hope Captain Cao can understand."
An apologetic smile appeared on Wang Chaling's face.
"It doesn't matter. You and I are both captains. We are equal in status, and I'm not the kind of person who cares about the details."
Cao Yang said expressionlessly.
"Captain Cao, please come to my office. Although I don't know why you are here, it must be a big deal to have a captain from the headquarters come in person."
This is a very luxurious office. Although it is not a high-profile and flamboyant style, everything is made of top-grade materials, giving people a restrained but very stylish sense of refinement. Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can clearly see every corner of the city, and the Wang family's ancient house, which has not been deliberately protected, is no exception.
"Now that there are no outsiders, I wonder what Captain Cao's intention is. Could it be that some major supernatural incident has occurred in the area under my jurisdiction, Wang Chaling?"
Wang Chaling was joking, of course. If a large-scale supernatural incident really occurred in Dadong City and its surrounding areas and was not dealt with in a timely manner, it would be his dereliction of duty as the captain, and it would be normal for him to be held accountable by the headquarters.
But as the person in charge, he knew very well how stable Dadong City was. The many people kept in the ancient house were not there to do nothing. If dozens of people joined forces, they could even cause an S-level incident.
It's a pity that, except for a few people who were not in the ancient house recently, all the rest were liquidated by the ghost eye captain Yang Jian...
Thinking of this, a barely perceptible fierceness flashed in the eyes of Wang Chaling, who was making tea. However, this fierceness was fleeting and Cao Yang did not notice it.
"It's not a supernatural incident. The fact that you were chosen as the captain is enough to prove many things. At present, it seems that there should be no ghost rider in the country who is stupid enough to take the initiative to provoke a captain."
"No one comes to visit you for no reason. Captain Wang, you are also an intellectual who has read a lot of books. You should know that my coming to Dadong City must be related to you. Why don't you take the initiative to tell me first?"
Cao Yang turned his head and looked at the captain in front of him, who was a few years older than him, with a playful expression.
Wang Cha Ling's expression froze, and he felt his heart tremble suddenly.
"Did you find out about me?"
"To say it, or not to say it?"
Wang Chaling couldn't make a decision for a moment, so he had to continue making tea to hide his slightly flustered expression.
"Captain Cao, have some tea."
The boiling hot black tea is steaming and exuding the unique aroma of tea.
Cao Yang took the tea calmly, and Wang Chaling's pretended calm expression was reflected on the surface of the cup.
"During the time when the headquarters was dealing with the ghost painting incident, a ghost rider with a ghost cave invaded the headquarters. Strangely, no supernatural items were stolen, but several ghosts were stolen instead."
"One of the ghosts is very special. It is an S-level evil ghost, codenamed - Starving Ghost."
"So Captain Cao suspected that I stole the starving ghost?"
Wang Chaling took a sip of tea and asked calmly.
"But as you can see, I'm just an ordinary person, not a ghost rider."
As he spoke, Wang Chaling stood up and turned around, intending to prove his identity as an ordinary person.
"Whether he is an ordinary person or not, we can tell with a test."
Cao Yang said in a cold tone.
Then, the lights in the office suddenly began to flicker, and a chilly atmosphere lingered. The already quiet environment suddenly became eerie and strange. It was clearly a closed room, but a gust of cold wind blew in from nowhere.
The cold wind was getting stronger and stronger, and Wang Chaling's suit was rustling.
"Captain Cao, what are you going to do?"
The expression on Wang Chaling's face became a little terrified. He did not lie about this matter, because he was really just an ordinary person and any random supernatural being could kill him.
"Before your flesh and blood fly everywhere due to the ghost wind, let me answer the question just now."
"It's not a suspicion. I can confirm that it was you who stole the starving ghost."
