Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 206: Opening Ceremony Turmoil (Part 2)

Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Opening Ceremony Turmoil (Part 2)

This is the downside of being an invisibility superpower user: to turn invisible, you can’t wear anything, so when he assassinated the Sun Family’s grandfather and grandson, there must have been someone nearby to assist him.

That person provided him with the weapon, allowing him to complete the assassination quickly.

Ji Ning ignored the screams around her, forcefully swinging down her arms, slamming this invisibility superpower user hard onto the ground.

"Who is your accomplice?"

The invisibility superpower user was left dizzy from the slam, stars spinning in his vision. It was the first time he was this embarrassed since his superpowers awakened.

The pain on his body made him confess almost without resistance.

For someone like him with special superpowers, even if caught, those from noble families wouldn’t really want his life. However, the ruthless intent in the eyes of the person before him made him tremble.

"I don’t know the accomplice. Our tasks were assigned separately. I was only responsible for obtaining the weapon near the target and completing the assassination within the specified time and escaping. As for who provided the weapon, I really don’t know."

"Do you not know, or are you afraid to say?" Ji Ning increased the pressure under her foot.

The invisibility superpower user cried out in pain, curling into himself, appearing somewhat pitiful.

When Fu Yuanxuan and several factions of superpower users arrived, they saw a petite person forcing a naked man to wish he could curl into the cracks in the ground.

Fu Yuanxuan frowned slightly, instructing his subordinates who followed, "Get him some clothes."

He then strode to Ji Ning’s side, "Have you found out who’s behind this?"

"He’s tight-lipped."

"No, no... ah—I really don’t know!" The invisibility superpower user’s voice sounded like a pig being slaughtered, causing the other superpower users outside who hadn’t approached to feel a twinge of discomfort.

This person was so ruthless!

Fu Yuanxuan coughed lightly twice, discreetly stepping a bit away from Ji Ning.

Then, Fu Yuanxuan’s subordinates and detectives from the Hai City Security Bureau took the invisibility superpower user away.

Before leaving, a detective from the Hai City Security Bureau asked the two, puzzled, "Aren’t you coming?"

Ji Ning took out her phone and waved it, "Something else has come up."

After the two left, a detective from the Hai City Security Bureau, full of envy, said, "I heard that person’s the triple superpower user recruited from Beijing. Our bureau chief is envious as hell, sighing every day."

"You can’t deny they’re skillful, reacting quickly and catching the culprit so fast. Our bureau chief is probably even more heartbroken."

The group joked as they escorted the prisoner out of the pedestrian street.

The parking area was some distance away, and with the large crowd of tourists, they had to remain vigilant, fearing the culprit might escape.

In contrast, Ji Ning and Fu Yuanxuan appeared much more relaxed.

Avoiding the crowd, they walked towards the coordinates sent by Huang Ying and Mantis.

The appearance of an assassination at the opening ceremony of the food festival shocked the upper echelons of Hai City, and they immediately ordered a thorough investigation.

Fortunately, there were many police maintaining order this time, and they quickly controlled the chaotic scene without causing any casualties among those present.

However, a dozen innocent tourists suffered minor injuries from pushing and trampling and were sent to the hospital.

When Ji Ning and Fu Yuanxuan arrived, they saw a group of people already settled in a larger café, surrounded by police officers.

Ji Ning presented her work credentials, surprising the officer inspecting them, who looked up at her for quite a while.

Did he see that right?

A-level Detective from the Security Bureau’s Special Department?

Wasn’t that a superpower user?

Why wasn’t she wearing a mask or uniform?

The officer specifically glanced at her wrist and, seeing the sleeve part bulging slightly, as if she wore a suppression ring, he stood in awe, hurriedly saluting and letting her in.

"Please, after you..."

Ji Ning, habitually expressionless towards strangers, gave off a vibe of keeping people at a distance, aligning with certain traits of superpower users.

The officer sighed inwardly, amazed to have encountered a high-level superpower user in person.

He wondered if he could add her as a friend.

But Ji Ning didn’t overthink it, walking into the café and immediately spotting the group sitting in a corner, calmly sipping coffee.

Compared to the still anxious folks around, these people were genuinely composed.

Ji Ning was somewhat surprised by the progress of Ye Tong and Bai Xiaotang, the two girls, yet she didn’t rush over. Instead, she went to the counter and ordered a cup of milk tea with sugar.

"Where’s Sister Ning?" Bai Xiaotang saw only Fu Yuanxuan and quickly peered behind him.

Seeing that familiar figure, she relaxed.

She looked like Ji Ning was her fiancé.

Mantis silently lit a candle in his heart for his captain.

Fu Yuanxuan asked with concern, "Did any of you get hurt?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Gu Shuangcheng asked, "Did you catch the culprit?"

Fu Yuanxuan looked at him for a moment, seemingly assessing his attitude. Seeing no ulterior motives, he nodded lightly.

"That’s good. The Sun Family Head died on the spot, and Miss Sun suffered minor injuries and has been sent to the hospital," Gu Shuangcheng added concerning the situation at the scene.

"Sun Chengen died?" Ji Ning, who had just walked over, was quite surprised.

Logically, these heads of noble families would typically be wearing bulletproof vests or the like when traveling, unless shot in the head, generally leading only to serious injuries. Besides, there should have been healing ability users around; a noble family head couldn’t have died on the spot.

Moreover, when she pursued, she scanned Sun Chengen again. He simply had a blade stuck in his chest, not a bullet wound; how could he have died on the spot?

Unless...

"The blade was poisoned."

Gu Shuangcheng seemed to discern Ji Ning’s thoughts and replied.

Ji Ning slightly frowned, looking towards Fu Yuanxuan.

Didn’t he say the task of that mole was to protect the Sun Family members?

How could Sun Chengen end up dead?

"Where’s your person?"

Fu Yuanxuan paused, instantly realizing whom she referred to. He concealed his expression, pulling out his phone and striding towards the exit.

Not wanting to alert anyone, he had only allowed people he trusted to watch him secretly. With the assassination event suddenly occurring, putting two and two together, it was very likely that the mole’s task wasn’t to protect the Sun Family.

Thinking of this, Fu Yuanxuan felt everything going downhill, his face as dark as a pot’s bottom.

"Young Master, the person you asked me to watch has boarded the police car, helping escort the suspect away."

Fu Yuanxuan’s complexion changed again, and he commanded sharply, "The suspect’s about to escape, go chase them!"

Fu Yuanxuan clenched his fists, finally understanding what the mole intended.

He hoped everything wasn’t too late.

He put away his phone and immediately returned to the café.

Shortly, he and Ji Ning came out again.

The two coordinated with the police for vehicles, preparing to give chase.

Fu Yuanxuan was very anxious, but Ji Ning remained calm.

The situation was clear now; the mole was used as a pawn to complete the last task.

If she guessed correctly, that mole could very well be counter-killed.

The mastermind’s methods were indeed impressive.

The goals were achieved, and potential exposures eliminated.

It seemed that those above Fu Yuanxuan were not entirely clean either.

Not long after the two got into the police car, Fu Yuanxuan received a call from his subordinate.

"Young Master, the target’s dead."

"What?"
