Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 208: Brothers, Beat Them Up!
Mr. Huang made no secret of his intent to kill Ji Ning.
He directly replied to Li Guoqing, saying if they wanted to meet him, come to the dock!
The Huang Family’s main business on the Hua Continent was shipping, with business points and ships at ports in all major coastal cities.
Sea City happened to be a coastal city with a large port and heavy ship traffic.
The Huang Family’s development scale here wasn’t small.
Heading to the dock meant having Ji Ning board a Huang Family ship; once on the boundless sea, a dead body would be hard to find.
The Huang Family was just that domineering on the sea.
Li Guoqing was so angry his liver hurt, and he kept advising Ji Ning not to go. But seeing Ji Ning’s indifferent expression, he gritted his teeth and said, "I’ll dispatch a squad of A-level detectives to go with you."
At the Security Bureau, detectives who reached A-level were mostly superpower users; even if they were ordinary people, their skills were definitely impressive.
But Ji Ning directly refused, "No need. They wouldn’t dare do anything to me."
At a time when Sea City was chaotic, it was better to leave those elites to handle cases.
Besides, the Huang Family might not even have the ability to kill her.
"No, now the Huang Family is like a powder keg. You can’t have an accident! Let me think..." Li Guoqing anxiously ruffled the remaining hair he had left.
Seeing this, Ye Tong was afraid he might go bald if he exerted too much force.
Huang Ying wanted to go along, but since Fu Yuanxuan wasn’t around, she had to stay to protect these two adults and the child.
"The Gu Family has some business dealings with the Huang Family. I’ll accompany Miss Ji on this trip."
Gu Shuangcheng suddenly spoke up.
Li Guoqing felt even more troubled. This person was a direct descendant of the Gu Family, and if anything happened to him, the Gu Family would skin him alive.
He truly didn’t want these people to step even a foot outside the Security Bureau.
"Very well," Ji Ning suddenly agreed.
Gu Shuangcheng looked a bit surprised, then smiled and said, "Director Li, I’ll bring people along. No need to worry."
With the two of them being so insistent, Li Guoqing had no choice but to agree, but he still sent some people to escort them to the dock.
Even if they weren’t elite forces, at least they could drive the Security Bureau’s car over to intimidate the Huang Family.
***
At the dock.
Many of Mr. Huang’s men had arrived, all of them tough and strong men who worked at sea for years, their skin tanned and muscles well-developed, with fierce looks that were intimidating and difficult to deal with.
Ji Ning and Gu Shuangcheng got out of the Security Bureau’s car, ready to head to the dock, when a burly man at the front said gruffly, "Our Mr. Huang only invited the one who injured Mr. San. Any irrelevant people leave immediately!"
Gu Shuangcheng’s face still bore a smile, as if he had no temper, "Brother, I’m Gu Shuangcheng, the second son of the Gu Family in Beijing. I was a witness to the conflict between Mr. Huang San and Miss Ji, so I don’t count as an irrelevant person."
The burly man’s tiger eyes glared, scrutinized him for a long time, remembering Mr. Huang’s order to kill those people, and then stepped aside, signaling them to come over.
Gu Shuangcheng walked forward first, with Ji Ning following behind.
But just as they were about to board the dock, Mr. Huang’s men suddenly surrounded them, intending to tie him and Ji Ning up.
Even as composed as Gu Shuangcheng was, he couldn’t help but furrow his brow at their rough actions, "What are you doing?"
"Our Mr. Huang said you people who harmed Mr. San don’t deserve to board the ship upright. Brothers, hit them!"
"You——"
Gu Shuangcheng’s attractive eyes instantly turned sharp, just about to resist when he heard a muffled groan from behind him, followed by one wail after another echoing around him.
Gu Shuangcheng’s eyes showed a touch of surprise, then a hint of smile.
This multi-system superpower user’s strength was formidable.
"If you can’t speak properly, then let me teach you, how about it?"
Ji Ning stood among a bunch of fallen brawny men, clapping her hands, looking towards the cargo ship ahead at the dock.
The people on the cargo ship, seeing this, immediately took defensive stances, revealing their weapons.
Though firearms were banned on the Hua Continent, restrictions weren’t as strict for fleets that frequently went to the Outer Continent.
After all, the sea wasn’t safe, which had cultivated the Huang Family’s fearless disposition.
Ji Ning looked at the guns pointed at her, smiled slightly, "Seems you don’t know who crippled Sun Liguo."
On the ship, Mr. Huang’s face changed because the Huang Family had some influence in Sea City, he naturally knew Sun Liguo had been disabled. The Sun Family had mobilized many elites, but it was unclear who was responsible for disabling Sun Liguo.
He initially assumed the person must have a considerable background, potentially from one of the three major families, but from the girl’s words, it seemed it was her who crippled Sun Liguo, and the Sun Family didn’t dare trouble her.
Though Mr. Huang hated those associated with his brother’s death, he wasn’t a brainless brute. Compared with other members of the Huang Family, he could be considered the family’s wise one.
"Let them on the ship!" Mr. Huang said furiously.
Soon, someone came to the edge of the ship to call out to Ji Ning and Gu Shuangcheng, "Our Mr. Huang invites you!"
Only then did the Huang Family on the ship lower their weapons, glaring fiercely as they walked over.
This time Ji Ning led in front, with Gu Shuangcheng behind.
The two were invited to the cargo ship’s cabin.
Compared to leisure cruises, the cargo ship’s cabin conditions were very simple, with several rows of burly seamen standing at the narrow cabin entrance, leaving only a passage for one person to pass through.
Fortunately, neither Ji Ning nor Gu Shuangcheng were fat, so they easily passed between the two rows without touching any seamen.
Mr. Huang was on the ship’s deck; the two needed to climb a narrow staircase to reach the deck.
Ji Ning climbed through the square staircase opening to the deck, where a light rain was falling outside.
The salty sea breeze mixed with drizzling rain hit the skin, with a chilling sensation.
Mr. Huang, wearing a short-sleeve shirt, sat with his legs crossed on one side of the deck.
His appearance wasn’t fierce; instead, he wore glasses and looked somewhat scholarly.
But each of his arms was tattooed with a beast, one extending from the sleeve to the wrist.
His eyes were extremely fierce, fixing a hard stare on Ji Ning, gritting his teeth, "You sure have some nerve!"
Though his brother’s bodyguard had said it was a frail girl who broke his brother’s finger, otherwise he wouldn’t have been sent to the hospital and silently died there.
Ji Ning ignored the brawny men raising weapons around her, walking expressionlessly towards Mr. Huang, stopping only five steps away.
"Your brother died of poisoning, and besides him, four others also died of poisoning."
Mr. Huang’s face showed no surprise; obviously, he wasn’t brainless. He had also had people investigate the scene.
"But you broke his finger, making him suffer such pain before death!"
Ji Ning snorted with disdain at his reasons for shouting and killing, making Mr. Huang directly stand up in anger, quickly pulling out a gun, shouting, "What’s so funny? Do you believe I’ll shoot you now?"
Ji Ning’s expression remained unchanged, calmly saying, "You can’t kill me. If you want to talk, put the weapons down."
Mr. Huang was so angry that the flesh on his face trembled as he aggressively clutched his gun.
He indeed wanted to shoot her dead in one shot.
