Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 213: What Use Is His Personal Seal?

Secretary Li was shocked by Ji Ning’s exorbitant demand and reflexively retorted, "Five million, why don’t you just go rob someone?"

Ji Ning ignored him, calmly staring at Lin Chengsheng’s face and said flatly, "Lin Family Master, you wouldn’t think my diagnosis fee is too high, would you?"

Lin Chengsheng clutched his chest, his gaze heavy with pressure as he looked at Ji Ning.

Yet Ji Ning was entirely unfazed and met his gaze directly.

"Fine." Lin Chengsheng finally replied with a single word.

Ji Ning, hearing what she wanted, casually recited a series of numbers, then reminded him, "Make sure you send it to the right account."

Secretary Li had never dealt with Ji Ning before; today was his first encounter with such a brazen young lady. Just as he was about to speak again, he heard his boss say, "Miss Ji, the flowers you sent to my wife, she really disliked them."

"Oh, really? I thought she liked having chrysanthemums at home, that’s why I sent them. Turns out she doesn’t like them either!"

Ji Ning’s smile was filled with sarcasm, making Lin Chengsheng’s face even darker.

"Since she doesn’t like them, don’t do things that cause misunderstandings, or next time I won’t be sending chrysanthemums."

"You..."

Ji Ning was too lazy to look at him any longer and turned her head to Secretary Li, "I want to see the diagnosis fee within 24 hours! Don’t keep me waiting too long."

Previously somewhat annoyed, Secretary Li now felt too intimidated by Ji Ning’s presence to voice any complaints.

Once everyone left, Secretary Li wiped the sweat from his forehead, cautiously looking at Lin Chengsheng, "Mr. Lin, are we really going to send the money?"

"Give it to her."

Lin Chengsheng replied weakly.

Ji Ning, an A-level Detective from the Security Bureau, a multi-system superpower user, deeply connected with the Bai Family, took down Sun Liguo and single-handedly challenged the elite of the Sun Family...

A person like her is not easily offended.

This brat being able to catch her eye is quite fortunate.

"Mr. Lin, about the eldest young master..."

"Hmph, don’t worry about him." Lin Chengsheng’s tone hardened again.

Secretary Li noted his boss’s expression of defiance, realizing that he should never cross the eldest young master, as Mr. Lin couldn’t even manage him.

Outside the Security Bureau, when Ji Ning came out, she saw Lin Yuanyang and Bai Xiaotang tugging at each other intensely by the roadside.

Primarily, Bai Xiaotang was holding him to teach him a lesson.

"Xiao Yang, how can you say such things? Your life is so precious, it can’t be casually given away..."

"Exactly, the life I worked hard to save isn’t something you can just disperse so easily." Ji Ning approached, her expression very stern, "Your life was given to you by your parents, both father and mother. Your mother definitely doesn’t want the child she gave birth to at the risk of her life to devalue his own life."

Lin Yuanyang didn’t raise his head, continuing to look at his toes, his voice somewhat hoarse, "In his eyes, I’m just a burden with the title of Lin Family heir. He’d rather I die early so he can make way for the woman he loves and her child."

Ji Ning’s eyelid twitched, and she couldn’t help but smack him, "Lin Yuanyang, is your constitution at B-level already? Can you win against Gu Xiao Shi in next year’s competition? Instead of wasting time thinking about nonsense, why not improve your dragging-behind physique? Bai Xiaotang is at B-level now. You’re not going to let her surpass you, are you?"

"What? My constitution is at B-level?" Bai Xiaotang screamed in disbelief; her previous test results at Jiuming Mountain were spiritual power at B1 level, physique at C9 level, her physique hadn’t broken through to B-level.

Seeing her ecstatic as she pulled hard on her arm, Ji Ning resisted the urge to beat someone.

Lin Yuanyang lifted his head to look at Ji Ning and the ecstatic Bai Xiaotang, with much of the gloom in his eyes dissipating.

That’s right, he still had many things left to accomplish.

The toxins in his body had been cleansed, so there was no longer any worry about that saying of not living past twenty.

He had plenty of life to enjoy; how could he give up his life just because of that man’s words?

He had to strive to live, to live for the mother who risked her life to give birth to him, he would let that vicious woman see clearly, even if she managed to take the mother’s place, she couldn’t take away the most precious legacy left by his mother.

He had to leave her with nothing!

After sensing the change in Lin Yuanyang’s surroundings, Ji Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This little rascal’s intelligence was too high, not as easily fooled as Bai Xiaotang and Ye Tong.

If he got fixated on a stubborn idea, he might walk blindly into a trap.

But that woman from Beijing had some skill, she managed to fully extricate herself.

Ji Ning’s eyes grew darker.

***

After sending the group back to their hotel, Ji Ning drove to Sea City’s pedestrian street.

At that moment, all entrances and exits of the pedestrian street were sealed off, and people from the Security Bureau, the base, and the police encircled it tightly, entry and exit required valid identification.

Had it not been for the temporary dispatch order from the Beijing Security Bureau, along with Li Guoqing’s signature and stamp, even Ji Ning wouldn’t have been able to enter.

Just arriving at an intersection, she saw Mr. Huang losing his temper there, "My brother’s private seal fell inside, I’m just going in to find it."

"Sorry, the case is under investigation in there; it’s not open to the public." The police officer standing guard at the entrance directly refused.

"Then could you go in and find it for me?"

"Sorry, items inside are temporarily considered evidence in the investigation and cannot be returned."

"Damn it..."

"Huang Zhongxi."

Ji Ning’s timely call interrupted the furious Mr. Huang.

The look on his face stiffened as he turned his gaze, his anger extinguishing by half.

Honestly, he was a bit intimidated by this young lady now, especially after thoroughly inquiring about Ji Ning. He felt fortunate that he had controlled his temper on the ship and hadn’t completely offended her.

"What are you here for?"

Mr. Huang replied sheepishly, "My brother’s private seal is missing, and my guys couldn’t find it at the hospital."

"Private seal?" Ji Ning hesitated for a moment, then gestured for him to come over to talk to her aside.

Mr. Huang wanted to get angry, but his body was more honest than his mouth, "What for? Just speak up..."

Ji Ning pressed her lips together, feeling an itch in her hand, "Hurry up!"

"Why... You can’t lay a hand on me..."

"Are you listening?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"I’m listening." Mr. Huang saw Ji Ning’s face darken and obediently quickened his pace, following her to a spot with fewer people.

"What do you want to ask?" Mr. Huang wasn’t accompanied by anyone and feared Ji Ning might suddenly make a move on him, maintaining a safe distance of five steps from her.

"What matters did your brother manage for the Huang Family when he was alive?"

Mr. Huang hesitated for a moment, scrutinizing her with two glances, seeing she had some serious inquiries, thought for a while, and answered, "His foreign language skills were good, he was primarily in charge of trade with the Outer Continent."

Outer Continent?

Ji Ning’s eyebrows slightly raised, her eyes narrowed slightly, "What use does his private seal have?"

"The ships from the Huang Family going to the Outer Continent need his private seal for approval." Mr. Huang suddenly had a bad premonition, only to see Ji Ning’s gaze instantly grow sharp.

"That’s not good..."

"Damn it, why didn’t I think of that!" Mr. Huang cursed as he made calls, "Quickly block the ships going to the Outer Continent these past two days! You damn fool, someone is using Mr. Huang’s seal for smuggling and illegal crossing! Block them quickly—"

Mr. Huang feared someone was using Huang San’s seal to place undesirable items or people on the Huang Family’s ships, but Ji Ning speculated even deeper.

Have those people planted insiders in the Huang Family with a goal tied to maritime transport?
