Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 219: What Bad Luck, How Could She Be Put in Charge?

Chapter 219: Chapter 219: What Bad Luck, How Could She Be Put in Charge?

Lin Chengsheng truly didn’t understand why Li Meifang kept linking everything to Lin Yuanyang, looking at her with some impatience, which made Li Meifang even more resentful.

"Family Head, for your son, we’ve been married for so many years before I could get pregnant. Because he lived in the old house, I couldn’t even come here. When I was pregnant, he almost caused me to miscarry, but you told me to endure it. When he got hurt, you suspected it was me who did it. He is your son, but isn’t the child in my belly yours too? Since marrying you, I’ve been enduring his rudeness and disregard. Do you want me and the child to endure him for a lifetime? Am I your wife or not? Is the child in my belly yours or not?"

"No, why do you have to link everything to him? Before we got married, I told you I didn’t want children for the time being, and you agreed. I saw that your relationship wasn’t very harmonious, so I let Xiao Yang live in the old house. I didn’t restrict you from coming to the old house. And you said Xiao Yang almost caused you to miscarry, I asked him afterwards, and he said it wasn’t him. Before the matter is clarified, I hope you can stay calm..."

"How much more investigation is needed? I saw him push my stomach with my own eyes!!!"

Li Meifang screamed, her eyes full of hatred made Lin Chengsheng somewhat annoyed and alarmed.

He was most annoyed by handling the conflict between his wife and his eldest son.

Couldn’t they let him have some peace and live harmoniously?

Old Madam Lin saw Li Meifang’s face turn white with anger, stood up and smacked Lin Chengsheng a few times, "You, say less! Meifang is pregnant!"

Lin Chengsheng felt helpless, replied weakly as Old Madam Lin hit and twisted him, "Just because she’s pregnant she can be unreasonable..."

Li Meifang was so angry that she cried, Old Madam Lin advised beside her, "Oh, don’t cry! You shouldn’t cry while pregnant, it’ll affect the baby..."

But Li Meifang cried even louder, Lin Chengsheng endured with a sullen face for a while before standing up, "If you want to stay here, you can, but don’t later tell me someone sent you chrysanthemums to curse you and the child."

Li Meifang’s voice softened, looking at him with tearful eyes, Lin Chengsheng said impatiently: "The detective responsible for investigating these noble families in Beijing is Ji Ning who came to the house last time. Xiao Yang also came back this time because Ji Ning called him back. If you don’t mind, you can stay!"

After speaking, he walked directly to the second-floor bedroom, regardless of Li Meifang’s feelings.

Li Meifang remembered the scene when Ji Ning came last time, her body couldn’t help but tremble.

Why is she coming again...

Old Madam Lin naturally knew about this incident with Ji Ning sending chrysanthemums as well, and said slightly unhappily: "What bad luck, why let her take charge? Xiao Yang too, why come with her?"

Li Meifang pressed her lips without responding, now regretting making a scene with Lin Chengsheng.

If she knew this female jinx was coming to visit, she would have packed up and left the old house sooner.

Now she was caught between a rock and a hard place...

"Meifang, Ah Sheng is also hurt for you and the child. Why don’t you go back to Green Land."

Li Meifang felt a little unwilling, but when she thought of Ji Ning, she obediently nodded.

Old Madam Lin patted her hand kindly, "When you go back, don’t brood too much, it’s not good for the baby. After the investigation is done, I’ll send someone to bring you back..."

Old Madam Lin nagged for a long time before finally letting the physically and mentally exhausted Li Meifang leave.

After Li Meifang and the others left, Old Madam Lin’s face immediately darkened, "Where is the Family Head?"

"Second-floor study."

Old Madam Lin leaned on her cane and walked quickly to the second floor.

Elsewhere.

Beijing Security Bureau, Director’s office.

Ji Ning finally met Liu Yan, the director here, a powerful Twelve Rank superpower user.

Not all heads of the regional Security Bureaus are superpower users, with varying strengths, but they all have one thing in common: they have backing, influence, and strong methods.

Liu Yan’s backing is the Li Family, he was originally a bodyguard for the Li Family Head, then was assigned to the Beijing Security Bureau and gradually rose to the position of director.

"Not easy to see you." Liu Yan said flatly while looking at the material in his hand.

Ji Ning sat on the sofa across from him with Lin Yuanyang, replied equally emotionlessly: "Pretty busy."

"Busy attending the food festival opening?"

"Promised Sun Yazhu long ago."

Liu Yan raised his gaze to look at her, "Your relationship with her is quite good."

"It’s okay."

"Sun Liguo has woken up." Liu Yan added.

Ji Ning nodded slightly, "Expected."

"But he’s constantly attempting suicide."

"I’ll persuade him when I get back."

Liu Yan’s expression finally showed a slight change, as if wanting to laugh but settled back to a controlled demeanor, looked at Ji Ning for a while before stating: "You really are different from others."

Ji Ning looked him in the eye, a slight smile tugging at her lips, "If everyone were the same, you wouldn’t let me in here."

"No, with your ability, entering the Security Bureau is more than enough." Liu Yan lowered his head again, looking at the files on the table.

Ji Ning did not argue with him.

The smile on her lips faded slightly.

Liu Yan pushed the files forward, "Take a look at this."

Ji Ning leaned forward, reached out to take the file, and began to review it.

It contained the investigation progress of the food festival, with material that Ji Ning hadn’t seen before.

Clearly, this content was classified at a higher level, not something even Ji Ning could access currently.

Ji Ning quickly browsed, a flash of surprise in her eyes.

Unexpectedly, the Ji Family Army was already in league with Outer Continent forces.

They intended to infiltrate the entire Hua Continent...

"The forces in the Inner and Outer City of Beijing are basically infiltrated, I want you to find their contact points and communication methods here in Beijing." Liu Yan stated his purpose directly.

Ji Ning’s eyes flashed with a sharp gleam, tossing the file, leaning back with arms crossed, "How do you want to investigate?"

"These individuals have strong counter-surveillance capabilities, and they’ve been infiltrating Beijing for decades. Conducting an investigation is very difficult. Since your name is Ji Ning, use this to draw them out." Liu Yan spoke calmly as if commenting on the nice weather.

Sitting by Ji Ning, Lin Yuanyang was so shocked his eyes widened.

The smile on Ji Ning’s face faded further, drumming her fingers on her arm, silently staring at Liu Yan’s face.

This face was too ordinary, so ordinary that it could be forgotten once outside this office.

It’s not his natural appearance but a result of his superpower.

He too is a Spiritual Ability User, and a rare one who can control brain perception.

Otherwise, how could he secure the top chair of the Security Bureau in this tiger and dragon-laden Beijing.

The atmosphere in the room grew tense, even Lin Yuanyang held his breath, looking at Ji Ning.

Ji Ning quietly regarded the man opposite, her face betraying no emotion, and just when Lin Yuanyang thought she might refuse, Ji Ning suddenly said, "Assuming an identity related to that person carries a death penalty, don’t you know?"

Liu Yan casually replied: "I’ve applied specifically, your identity won’t be a problem."
