Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 214: Why Couldn’t He Just Keep His Hands to Himself?

Chapter 214: Chapter 214: Why Couldn’t He Just Keep His Hands to Himself?

Beijing Bai Family.

Bai Yusen looked at the three men tied up in front of him, his face extremely grim.

It had been three days, and these men had bones of steel, refusing to reveal the purpose of sneaking into the villa area.

Only after Aunt Zeng used the Dream-Entering Ability did a little something slip from their mouths.

Looking for a portrait, leaving from the Jin City port...

Bai Feng held an electric baton, interrogating them fiercely: "Speak, what portrait are you looking for? Why search in the villa area?"

But the men kneeling on the ground remained silent.

"Buzz—"

"Ah—"

"Speak or not?"

"..."

"Buzz—"

"Ah—"

"Speak quickly to avoid suffering!"

"..."

This repeated questioning was infuriating.

Bai Yusen pinched his tired brow, "Bai Feng."

"Yes."

Bai Feng put down the electric baton, glaring fiercely at the tied-up men.

"Family Head, should I try?" Aunt Zeng walked in with a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

Bai Yusen looked up at her, shaking his head, "No, your ability hasn’t recovered. Rest for two more days."

Yesterday, to control one of the high-level superpower users, Aunt Zeng’s powers nearly went haywire.

Those who infiltrated the villa area included not only skilled ordinary people but also superpower users, none of low rank.

If not for most of the elite being hidden in the villa, the Bai Family couldn’t have captured these three alive.

Because all three had poison on them, ready to swallow it and die if the mission failed, just like death warriors of old.

"But..." Aunt Zeng was unwilling.

For these three men, the Family Head hadn’t rested properly for days.

Now, there’s been a poisoning incident with the eldest daughter in Sea City, and the Family Head is anxious to rush over, yet because of Miss Ji’s words, he’s forced to stay in Beijing and waste time on these three.

That Miss Ji sure knows how to cause trouble!

"It’s fine, Aunt Zeng, remind them again not to leak anything." Bai Yusen reminded Aunt Zeng once more.

Who knows why, but in recent days the villa area seemed taken over by the Beijing Base.

A bunch of soldiers was investigating each household to see if anything was stolen, and the Bai Family alone was visited several times.

He suspected the villa area hid some secret they didn’t know about, which might be precisely what these three were after.

That’s why he privately detained the three, hoping to find out the truth from them first.

Aunt Zeng put down the coffee, replied "Yes," and walked out with the tray.

A moment later, Aunt Zeng rushed back in, panic-stricken, "It’s not good, Family Head, Bai Yulin is missing!"

"What?"

"Bai San was knocked out; he just woke up now."

"Where?"

"In the living room."

Bai Yusen immediately stood, hurried up from the basement, and saw a person half-lying on the living room floor.

It was none other than Bai San, who had been guarding Bai Yulin.

His superpower strength ranked third in the Bai Family, and he was also outstanding in Beijing, hence assigned to guard Bai Yulin.

He never expected Bai San to be knocked out.

How strong must the person who took Bai Yulin be?

"Fa... Family Head... before I lost consciousness, I saw them enter the basement..."

Basement?

Bai Yusen immediately sent people to search the basement of Bai Yulin’s villa.

Unfortunately, nothing was found.

***

Mr. Huang’s men went around questioning about their ships and finally confirmed a ship bearing Mr. Huang’s private seal had left Jin City dock, its destination being Beizhou.

"Damn it..." Mr. Huang cursed into the phone, cautiously glancing at Ji Ning.

He truly didn’t know what the ship was doing going to Beizhou.

The brothers each managed their own affairs and rarely interfered with each other, so he only knew in broad strokes but really didn’t know what the ship was carrying.

Ji Ning studied the map displayed by the Smart Brain for a while and his eyes suddenly lit up, immediately saying, "Bao Zi, contact Bai Yusen."

"Yes, Master."

The call connected quickly.

"Bai Yusen, did someone enter the basement of the villa area?"

Bai Yusen was taken aback, "How do you know?"

Ji Ning bore an "I knew it" expression, which made Mr. Huang unnerved.

But he wanted to know what the Bai Family Head in Beijing was saying, so he took a few steps closer.

Ji Ning simply handed him one of the earphones.

Mr. Huang, a bit embarrassed, took it and quickly put it in his ear.

Ji Ning continued, "A bunker is built under your villa. Further down, tunnels lead in four directions out of Beijing."

"How do you know?" Bai Yusen was shocked. Having lived there for over twenty years, he never knew this. How did Ji Ning?

But Ji Ning didn’t answer directly, "One of the passages leads directly to Jin City in the southeast of Beijing. If the Fu Family acts quickly, they can check from Jin City."

"Did you contact the Fu Family?"

Ji Ning glanced at the obviously dumbstruck Mr. Huang and lightly hummed in assent.

"So those soldiers outside the villa area were sent by the Fu Family?"

"They probably were, but they were a step too late. Those people might have already boarded the Huang Family’s ship and left the port." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Huang Family?

Bai Yusen’s mind was in a whirl, massaging his aching temples to try and sort things out, finally saying, "If that’s the case, why did they take Bai Yulin?"

"Bai Yulin is missing?" Ji Ning was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, my subordinate saw Bai Yulin taken into the basement before being knocked out. If there’s a tunnel below the basement as you say, they likely took Bai Yulin to escape to Jin City. Oh, and I caught three survivors. Would you like to come and question them? These three have been tight-lipped, only revealing a little."

Ji Ning thought for a moment, "Hand them over to the Fu Family."

"Okay. Is Tangtang alright?"

"She’s fine, your people are there."

"That’s good then..."

Bai Yusen, with a halt in the hand rubbing his forehead, cast a complicated glance at the Smart Brain screen.

What does he mean by his people?

Before hanging up, Ji Ning suddenly added a whimsical note, "Could you send Mrs. Lin another bouquet for me? Tell her, I miss her and the child."

Bai Yusen: ...

***

At this moment, Mr. Huang, face numb, returned the earphone to Ji Ning.

Inside him, a little voice was screaming:

Oh my god...

Tunnels under the villa, contacting the Fu Family, sending flowers to Mrs. Lin?

Can he even listen to such things?

Why did he have to be so curious, to take that earphone and be nosy about others’ conversations?

Ji Ning, unaware of Mr. Huang’s inner turmoil, took back the earphone with a calm face and said, "Now we can be sure of one thing, the mole in your family was to facilitate their escape by waterway. You can go back and thoroughly investigate any requests from your Huang Family to use boats over the years. You might even find more moles."

Mr. Huang acknowledged with a blank face.

"The private seal likely isn’t on-site; you’ll need to revise your sailing procedures. That seal should be decommissioned quickly!"

Mr. Huang nodded again.

Seeing him like this, Ji Ning smoothly added, "I need to see the Huang Family’s trading records from recent years. The more detailed, the better!"
