Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 135: Healing and Recovery

Ke Chen wanted to figure out Ji Ning’s intentions, so he hurried to the place where Sun Yazhu was staying, intending to probe.

"President Sun, I suddenly thought of a collaboration or maybe we can have a chat. Are you going out?"

Sun Yazhu chuckled, "Going to meet an old friend."

"An old friend? Does President Sun also have friends in Anhe?"

Sun Yazhu glanced at him and laughed, "She’s not from Anhe, just happened to be traveling here. By the way, Mr. Ke, we can go up and have a chat."

"Ah, alright." Ke Chen seized the opportunity and stopped talking with a smile.

They’re both foxes in the business world; neither can hope to gain much advantage.

The two exchanged smiles.

But because of this, Ke Chen had to change his strategy towards the Sun Family.

It seems some businesses can’t let the Sun Family get involved.

***

The last day of the holiday.

Ji Ning was finally going to take Lin Yuanyang for detoxification.

He was so excited that he couldn’t sleep well the night before.

Bai Xiaotang also wanted to follow, but Lin Yuanyang disagreed, though Ji Ning agreed.

The three of them got into Bai Xiaotang’s car.

The driver was Ji Ning.

"Why are we at the school?" Bai Xiaotang asked in surprise, looking at the familiar scenery outside.

Ji Ning replied, "Picking someone up."

When Bai Xiaotang and Lin Yuanyang saw Huang Ying, they exclaimed in shock, "Your friend to pick up is her?"

Before Ji Ning could answer, Huang Ying had already opened the rear door and greeted the three.

"Alright."

Lin Yuanyang nervously shuffled his seat, "Instructor Ying."

Bai Xiaotang also became more polite than before, turning around obediently to call Instructor Ying.

Huang Ying responded with a nod.

"The address has been sent to you," Huang Ying said to Ji Ning.

Ji Ning skillfully opened their chat records and launched the navigation software.

Seeing the entire process, Bai Xiaotang swallowed with surprise.

How come Sister Ning is so familiar with Instructor Ying?

Could it be that the person helping Sister Ning find the pharmaceutical laboratory was Instructor Ying?

That’s Netherworld Grass; will they be reported?

Bai Xiaotang grew uneasy, while in the back seat, Lin Yuanyang, after his initial surprise, began observing her calmly.

He suddenly recalled the incident when the campus network at school suddenly bugged last time.

It seemed unlikely to be a coincidence, but he couldn’t figure out who at school could help Ji Ning and You Le.

Now it suddenly dawned on him.

No wonder Ji Ning had her send them home the night before.

Coupled with this matter, their relationship must be unusual.

Did they know each other beforehand?

Otherwise, why would Instructor Ying have taken up a position at Anhe Middle School shortly after Ji Ning appeared?

Lin Yuanyang’s mind was racing.

Huang Ying was oblivious to the complexity of the child’s thoughts beside her and closed her eyes to rest, much like Ji Ning when not playing games.

This further convinced Lin Yuanyang that they had known each other for a long time.

It turned out Sister Ning used to be from the base...

***

The pharmaceutical laboratory was located on the outskirts of Anhe City, in a chemical plant.

This area was remote and sparsely populated, and it was the weekend, so apart from the security guard on duty, no one else was seen in the factory.

Huang Ying showed the entry card to the guard, allowing Ji Ning’s car to drive into the factory.

"The laboratory is in the small white building ahead. My friend isn’t here today; just tidy up after using it, and that’s fine."

"Alright."

Ji Ning drove the car below the building and parked.

Then she took out a 23-inch suitcase and two adult-sized foldable basins from the trunk.

Huang Ying didn’t know one of the basins was for herself.

Somewhat surprised, she helped carry the basin for her.

The pharmaceutical laboratory was on the third floor, fully equipped.

Ji Ning looked at the laboratory’s experimental equipment, finding them familiar. Although the current equipment was much more advanced than those 120 years ago, the principles of pharmaceuticals remained the same. She had prepared by reading the laboratory rules and equipment usage guidelines video sent by Huang Ying, and had no major issues operating them.

Huang Ying seemed to have been here before, easily opening the wardrobe and handing out lab coats to the three.

Ji Ning said, "You and Lin Yuanyang don’t need to wear them."

Hmm?

Huang Ying was puzzled.

Ji Ning pointed to the basin at her feet, "You and Lin Yuanyang both need to take a bath."

Huang Ying was stunned, especially seeing Bai Xiaotang suddenly realizing, "No wonder Sister Ning asked me to bring a girl’s swimsuit. It was meant for Instructor Ying. Is Instructor Ying also injured?"

Huang Ying froze for a moment.

Ji Ning cast a glance at Bai Xiaotang, "Dress properly and follow me." She interrupted her questioning, easing Huang Ying’s embarrassment.

Next, Ji Ning and Bai Xiaotang dealt with bags of herbs from the suitcase, while Lin Yuanyang and Huang Ying prepared the basins, made hot water, readying for a medicinal bath.

"Add the herbs according to the water temperature." Ji Ning stood at the test bench weighing the herbs, instructing Bai Xiaotang to add them to the two basins.

Fortunately, the laboratory was equipped with a bathroom.

Lin Yuanyang and Huang Ying had already changed into swimsuits, wrapped in towels, sitting face to face in the bathroom.

Both were a bit embarrassed, but as fellow patients, neither could laugh at the other.

"Instructor Ying, what illness do you have?" Lin Yuanyang broke the silence, initiating the question.

Huang Ying didn’t hide, "Old internal injuries. You’re poisoned?"

Lin Yuanyang nodded, "Chronic poisoning."

Huang Ying naturally knew Lin Yuanyang’s identity, frail and sickly since childhood, not expected to live past twenty; she never imagined it was due to poisoning.

The filthy affairs of large families really are numerous...

"It will get better in the future." Huang Ying, not very good at comforting others, forced out such a sentence.

Lin Yuanyang pushed up his glasses, "Thank you for your kind words."

The two patients suddenly felt a sense of empathy at this moment.

After Bai Xiaotang poured another heap of herbs into the two large basins, Ji Ning’s voice came from outside: "Get in the tub."

Bai Xiaotang quickly pointed to the basins in front of them to remind them, "This one is Instructor Ying’s, and this one is Xiao Yang’s. Don’t mix them up."

The two exchanged a glance of mutual encouragement and stepped towards their respective basins to dip their feet in.

So hot...

Lin Yuanyang withdrew his foot, looked at the patient beside him, she had already sat down, fully submerged in water except her head.

Bai Xiaotang assumed Lin Yuanyang was afraid of the water, given his inability to swim, and considerately brought in a small stool for kids, "Xiao Yang, take this."

Lin Yuanyang’s face flushed, he hurriedly stepped into the water, "No need."

Enduring the initial heat for a while, he gradually adapted.

Lin Yuanyang took off his glasses, hanging them on the edge of the basin, mimicking Huang Ying’s pose by crouching in the basin with his head exposed.

After ten minutes, Lin Yuanyang suddenly stood up, his cheeks flushed, agonized expressions overtaking him; Bai Xiaotang immediately panicked, "You can’t come out, Sister Ning said to submerge completely."

"It hurts..."

At this moment, Ji Ning walked in, pressing him back into the water with one hand, while her fingertips emitted a white light entering Lin Yuanyang’s body.

The pain eased considerably, though Lin Yuanyang was still left speechless.

He could distinctly feel an energy within him, his heart shocked as if storm-tossed seas, dumbfoundedly looking at Ji Ning, noticing her serene expression, and another hand on Instructor Ying’s shoulder.

She...she is...

Superpower user?

This treatment lasted for over ten minutes before Ji Ning withdrew her hand.

Lin Yuanyang looked at her in disbelief as she dropped a sentence: "Don’t come out," and left the bathroom.

Beside him, Huang Ying’s face was pallid, her state barely better than Lin Yuanyang’s, but accustomed to enduring, she didn’t show such a strong reaction.

Fortunately, Ji Ning came to help ease some of her pain; otherwise, she felt she might pass out in the basin.

"You know she is..." Lin Yuanyang struggled to speak.

Huang Ying opened her eyes to look at him but didn’t respond.

The question somehow seemed to be muted, unfinished.

The previous doubts seemed to be answered at this moment, with Lin Yuanyang only feeling his heart pounding excessively.
