9: Chapter 9 The Ghost General Protects Her Husband! Sir, you don't want this to get out, do you?

"Red... Red-Clothed Ghost General?!"

Looking at Su Qingcheng as she gracefully walked down the stairs, Lin Bing's pupils contracted violently.

As the leader of the Special Action Task Force of the Supernatural Investigation Bureau, how could she not know what "Red-Clothed" represented?

In the Rank classification of ghosts, above ordinary Wandering Souls are Vindictive Spirits, above Vindictive Spirits are Evil Ghosts, and only above Evil Ghosts are Red-Clothed Vicious Ghosts!

But at this moment, the aura emanating from Su Qingcheng was more than ten times more terrifying than an ordinary Red-Clothed Vicious Ghost!

That thick Yin-Fiendish Qi had almost condensed into a physical form.

It formed a visible red aura around her body.

This was clearly a Red-Clothed Ghost General—only one step away from being promoted to a Ghost King!

For an existence of this level, let alone her, even if the Director came in person, they would have to weigh whether they could retreat unscathed.

But now, such a terrifying existence actually called the rogue in front of her... Master?

"Big sister, you haven't answered my question yet."

Su Qingcheng, with her bare jade feet, didn't touch the ground as she floated to the sofa like a ghost.

Her beautiful eyes, glowing with a red light, stared coldly at Lin Bing, who was pinned under Su Yang.

"Pointing a gun at my master's head and wanting to take him away..."

"Do you think I, a Ghost Servant, am just for show?"

Boom!

As soon as she finished speaking, a towering chill instantly erupted, and the temperature of the entire hall plummeted to the freezing point.

Lin Bing felt as if the blood in her body was about to freeze; the sense of oppression from the depths of her Soul made it difficult for her to even breathe.

"Mis... Misunderstanding..."

Lin Bing squeezed out two words with difficulty, cold sweat pouring down her forehead.

She came to investigate a case, not to die!

"Alright, Qingcheng, don't scare Officer Lin too much."

Seeing that the timing was right, Su Yang slowly released Lin Bing's hand and sat up from her.

"Officer Lin, can we talk properly now?"

Lin Bing scrambled up from the sofa in a mess, picked up the Spirit-Energy Pistol from the floor, and retreated to what she considered a safe distance, still staring at the two of them with a face full of vigilance.

"Su Yang, you... you are privately keeping a Red-Clothed Ghost General; this is a serious crime violating the Supernatural Law! Once she loses control, the entire Jiangzhou City will be devastated!"

"Violating the Supernatural Law?"

Su Yang sneered.

"Officer Lin, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't just spout nonsense. Qingcheng is my family; how can you call it keeping her? Besides, does she look like she's out of control?"

"On the other hand, you broke into a private residence without distinguishing right from wrong and even drew your gun. Isn't that knowingly breaking the law?"

"I..." Lin Bing was momentarily speechless.

Indeed, from the current situation, Su Qingcheng was clear-headed.

Aside from being hostile toward her, she didn't show any signs of bloodlust or frenzy, which was practically a miracle among Vicious Ghosts.

"As for that Su Jianguo you mentioned..."

Su Yang pointed to the trash can in the corner. "There, those are the remains he left behind. You can take them back for testing."

Lin Bing followed his finger and saw a complete human skin in the trash can... No, to be precise, it was a somewhat charred snake skin.

"Snake Demon?!"

Lin Bing walked over to take a look, and her expression changed again.

As a professional, she could tell at a glance that there was a thick Demonic Qi remaining on the snake skin.

"Su Jianguo had long been possessed by this snake demon. It wanted to eat me last night, so I killed it in passing."

Su Yang said nonchalantly, "Doesn't this count as eliminating a threat to the people? Shouldn't your Supernatural Bureau give me a banner and reward me with a few million to spend?"

Lin Bing: "..."

A few million? You're dreaming!

However, if the facts were truly as Su Yang said, then he was indeed innocent and had instead performed a service.

Lin Bing took a deep breath, calmed her emotions, and put the pistol back into her holster.

Since she couldn't win a fight, she could only reason with him.

"I will take this back and investigate it thoroughly. If it's true, the bureau will cancel the surveillance on you."

Lin Bing gave Su Yang a deep look, her eyes filled with complexity.

This man was not only unfathomably powerful but also had a Red-Clothed Ghost General following him; he was definitely not an ordinary person.

Instead of making an enemy of him, why not... recruit him?

Thinking of this, Lin Bing's tone softened a bit.

"Su Yang, Jiangzhou City hasn't been peaceful lately, and supernatural events are frequent. Since you have this ability, are you interested in joining our Supernatural Bureau? Excellent benefits, within the establishment, five insurances and one housing fund..."

"Not interested."

Su Yang interrupted her without hesitation. "I'm used to being free and easy; I can't stand being restricted. Besides, I have so much of the Su Family's property to inherit; why would I need to go to your place for a dead-end salary?"

Lin Bing: "..."

So annoying, but what he said made so much sense that she couldn't even refute it!

"Fine! Since you're unwilling, I won't force you."

Lin Bing bit her teeth, took out a black business card from her pocket, and threw it on the coffee table.

"This is my private number. If you change your mind, or... encounter trouble you can't handle, you can call me."

After saying that, she turned and left, her high heels clicking loudly as if she were about to stomp through the floor.

When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped, turned back, and glared at Su Yang fiercely.

"And! What happened just now... you'd better take it to your grave! If you dare to spread a single word, I'll risk my life to drag you down with me!"

If people found out that she, the dignified cold and glamorous Police Flower, was pinned on a sofa and teased, how would she survive in the bureau in the future?

"Don't worry, Officer Lin's figure... cough, feel, is enough for me to enjoy alone."

Su Yang waved his hand mischievously.

"Get out!"

Lin Bing's face turned beet red, and she slammed the door as she left.

...

"Master, was that woman just now... really that well-built?"

As soon as Lin Bing left, Su Qingcheng floated faintly to Su Yang's side, her tone carrying a strong hint of jealousy.

"Cough, she's just average, far inferior to my Qingcheng."

Su Yang put his arm around Su Qingcheng's slender waist and said seriously, "What's good about those stiff uniforms? My Qingcheng's silk nightgown feels much more comfortable."

"Hmph, at least you have some taste."

Su Qingcheng snorted proudly, but the smile in the corners of her eyes couldn't be hidden.

"But Master, do you really plan to take over the Su Family? I don't understand the Su Family's business, and... I'm afraid the Yin Qi on me will affect ordinary people."

"Just leave the business matters to that old fraud Liu Banxian; we just need to collect the money."

Su Yang waved his hand, his eyes then narrowing slightly.

"And, I don't plan on staying in the Su Family to retire forever."

"As an Enlightened Celestial Master, I also need to find some work to do."

Su Yang's heart stirred slightly.

According to the System prompt.

He was only a few Points away from unlocking the Lucky Draw; he really needed to find some proper business now.

He took out his phone and opened the Supernatural Forum.

This was a website the original owner often visited, which had many reward posts regarding supernatural events.

Su Yang's finger scrolled, and soon, a bolded and red pinned post caught his attention.

【Jiangbei University Haunting! Reward increased to 3 million!】

"Jiangbei University?"

Su Yang raised an eyebrow.

The content of the post was shocking:

"The sound of a baby crying comes from the girls' dormitory late at night, and several girls have jumped off the building to their deaths in bizarre circumstances."

"The dormitory auntie's heart was gouged out, and she died a miserable death."

"Three groups of Exorcists have already taken the job, and all of them have lost contact!"

"Jiangbei University is now completely sealed off; urgently seeking a true expert to take action! Bounty: 3 million!"

"3 million? This money is easy to earn."

Su Yang's eyes lit up.

The money didn't really matter; the main thing was that he wanted to go to the university... cough, save all sentient beings.

"Qingcheng, pack up."

Su Yang turned off his phone, stood up, and his eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Let's go experience university life!"

Su Qingcheng was stunned: "What are we going to the university for?"

A mischievous smile curled on Su Yang's lips:

"To catch ghosts, make money, and see if there are any pretty female college students... cough, female ghosts who need psychological counseling, of course!"
