Chapter 1820: Chapter 1041: Wang Yue Qianxun
Worried that he might scare someone to death, Yang Xiao specifically checked Sakata Yoshiji’s condition before leaving. Confirming that he probably wouldn’t die anytime soon, Yang Xiao tidied up the scene and left.
Before departing, Yang Xiao thoughtfully left a gift for Sakata Yoshiji.
Just half an hour after Yang Xiao left, the unconscious Sakata Yoshiji suddenly awakened, but the previously eerie room had vanished, replaced with his familiar bedroom.
Though both places looked identical, Sakata Yoshiji was certain that the former could never be his home, absolutely not! fгeewebnovёl.com
Keiko lay half-naked asleep beside him. After ensuring there were no further abnormalities, especially in the still quiet bathroom, Sakata Yoshiji finally relaxed, slowly closing his eyes, "It was just a nightmare; Sato Kojiro, that guy, damn him!"
Sakata Yoshiji sat up and donned his nightwear. Still gripped by the fear brought by the nightmare, he was drenched in cold sweat.
His movements woke the woman beside him. Keiko turned over groggily, instinctively hugging Sakata Yoshiji, murmuring, "Director, you are amazing, I still want...
Sakata Yoshiji had not fully escaped the nightmare, his legs were weak, and he had no interest in such matters. He couldn’t help but rebuke upon hearing her.
Of course, he didn’t admit his incapacity but argued that he was a big shot, indulging in carnal desires would only hinder his grand ambitions.
The woman, feeling unsupported, got up and dressed herself alone before padding to the bathroom.
But the next second, a scream emanated from the bathroom—this unexpected shrill terrified Sakata Yoshiji, who instinctively tried to stand, but his legs were too weak, causing him to tumble off the bed.
However, his reflexes were quick, the nightmare instilled a sense of security tied to the bed and blanket, so he scrambled back onto the bed as fast as possible, his pale flesh trembling like a sieve.
The woman tumbled out of the bathroom in terror. Facing Sakata Yoshiji’s inquiries, her face was ashen, barely able to speak, repeating continuously: "There’s a ghost! There’s a ghost!!"
Hearing this, Sakata Yoshiji panicked as well; after all, in that not-so-distant nightmare, Sato Kojiro’s ghost emerged precisely from the bathroom.
Soon, the commotion upstairs drew attention from downstairs. Security and a maid rushed over, but both were equally frightened by the scene in the bathroom: the storage cabinet bore marks from knives and axes, and the blood-drenched bathroom mirror on the wall made the whole bathroom look like a gruesome crime scene.
Witnessing this, Sakata Yoshiji’s legs turned to jelly. He finally realized everything that happened wasn’t a dream; Sato Kojiro... he really came back!
His ghost!!
...
On the road leading out of the city, an off-road vehicle with black-tinted windows sped forward.
Contrasting sharply with the horrifying atmosphere inside the villa, the car was filled with laughter and joy.
Having removed the human skin mask, Yang Xiao animatedly narrated the "gift" he left for Sakata Yoshiji, causing Wang Yue Qianxun, the driver, to laugh uncontrollably, creating an oddly harmonious scene.
At that moment, Wang Yue Qianxun felt a pang of regret, wishing she had followed to see the fantastic storyline, regretting missing the exciting scene.
"Hey, how are you so good at scaring people?" After this incident, the atmosphere between the two became increasingly cordial. Wang Yue Qianxun no longer addressed Yang Xiao with the stiff and distant "envoy sir," but treated him more like a friend.
Thinking about Yang Xiao’s wild head-shaking like he was on ecstasy by Sakata Yoshiji’s bedside, Wang Yue Qianxun couldn’t help but smile.
This guy is so bad; this will likely leave a lifelong shadow in Sakata Yoshiji’s heart.
Yang Xiao sneered inwardly; this was just the start. If not for being limited on time, he’d have played with him some more.
He once wrote scripts full of conspiracies and intrigues, and after years of personal nightmare missions—being chased like a dog by fierce ghosts—he’s now unbelievably strong.
Currently, they were heading to Qing Mountain Cemetery, according to plan, Yang Xiao would leave after paying respects to the graves of Sato Shouta and his father.
His flight was already booked at Kagoshima Airport, on a civilian flight that takes off a little past ten at night. The two who came with Yang Xiao would wait at the airport in advance.
Yang Xiao initially hoped to stay a few more days to handle the finishing touches and accompany Sato Shouta’s mother, but being a guest, he had to go with the flow. Since the situation in Kagoshima was unstable, it was better to leave early.
Frankly, Yang Xiao didn’t want to get involved in the conflict between Japan’s Kusunoki Family and the Ghost Sect. Considering his unique position, as the Patrol Defense Office’s special envoy to Japan, he represented the stance of the domestic office and couldn’t let his personal actions affect Chief Yue’s overall strategy.
The Patrol Defense Office’s stance towards foreign powers has always been consistent: as long as the counterparts don’t affect domestic interests, they wouldn’t rashly interfere in foreign affairs.
Of course, this is mostly lip service. When it comes to intrigue, the Chinese certainly have a reputation; there’s a saying that Western European kings could at most serve as village heads in China.
However, Yang Xiao himself wasn’t interested in climbing the ranks or getting rich. From Rongcheng to the Provincial Office, now being chosen as a special envoy for Japan’s Kusunoki Family, he felt no joy, only that the responsibility on his shoulders grew heavier.
