Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 224: The Special Room

Pan Min is Aunt Pan’s name.

Everyone paused for a moment, looking around, seemingly unfamiliar with the name Pan Min.

It wasn’t until Aunt Pan stood up from the sofa with a grim expression that they realized Pan Min was the aunt close to the madam, and immediately their eyes showed sympathy.

These looks made Pan Min embarrassed and angry.

She pursed her lips, kept her face stiff, and reluctantly walked toward Ji Ning.

"Detective Ji, where shall we talk?"

Ji Ning looked at Lin Yuanyang, who pointed to a room on the first floor near the back door corner, "That one then, it’s usually not entered by anyone."

Ji Ning’s eyes flashed with a gleam.

The secret space below that room was underneath the villa.

Old Madam Lin opened her eyes and glanced at the room Lin Yuanyang pointed to, her expression changed slightly, "That room won’t do, go to the study upstairs."

Lin Yuanyang pushed his glasses, turned calmly to look at Old Madam Lin, "Why?"

Old Madam Lin felt somewhat hurt, Lin Yuanyang’s gaze was too distant, as if treating her like a stranger.

She pressed on her chest discomfort and explained, "That room is dedicated to the ancestors of the Lin Family. It cannot be disturbed."

Lin Yuanyang’s brows gradually furrowed.

He lived in the old house for a few years but never heard of any dedication in that room.

In his memory, that room was locked for years, the keys held by his grandmother, and when he was a child, she claimed the room was full of clutter and never let him in.

Later, he saw several times when she had people move the furnishings inside, and it didn’t look like it was dedicated to tablet inscriptions.

Now saying this, could it be she knows the secret below that room and doesn’t want the Security Bureau to know?

He looked at Ji Ning, seeing her unchanged expression, she even asked him not to move, with a slight pause, he said, "Sister Ning, I’ll take you to the study on the second floor."

Old Madam Lin felt relieved when the two did not become suspicious as they changed rooms.

At this moment, the old-fashioned wall clock pointed to 4 o’clock, the light outside had drifted westward, and the living room gradually darkened.

Just like everyone’s mood in the living room.

Li Meifang was very worried about Aunt Pan being called upstairs.

The police had already closed the case on Lin Yuanyang, and now the Security Bureau’s detective suddenly appeared; if she had known that little runt knew such a troublesome woman, she would never have acted in advance listening to that person’s word.

Li Meifang was both angry and anxious, even having a faint sense of foreboding, always feeling that what she intended to do would be discovered by Ji Ning.

On the other side.

In the study, Lin Chengsheng was interrupted by Ji Ning and others while having a remote meeting.

Seeing Ji Ning’s face, Lin Chengsheng felt a headache at his temple, looked at the computer on the table, and directly said, "Meeting adjourned!"

He knew Ji Ning was coming to investigate, but didn’t expect it so soon.

It had only been a few hours?

Lin Chengsheng looked at the time, then seeing Lin Yuanyang and Pan Min, he was somewhat puzzled about what was happening.

"What are you doing...?"

Ji Ning entered the room, roughly scanned the study’s furnishings, and pointed to two single wooden chairs not far away.

"Mr. Lin, I need to borrow your study for inquiry."

Lin Chengsheng glanced at the place where he often drank tea and slightly nodded, "Okay."

Ji Ning glanced at Lin Yuanyang, who immediately said to Lin Chengsheng, "Mr. Lin, if you’re not done with work, you can take the computer out."

Lin Chengsheng stiffened, just as he wanted to scold Lin Yuanyang, he was stopped by Ji Ning: "Lin Yuanyang is a member of my investigation team, he will assist me in investigating the Lin Family matters recently, considering his relationship with the Lin Family, Mr. Lin, please avoid conflict."

Lin Chengsheng: ...

He had some disbelief about Ji Ning’s words, then suddenly saw Lin Yuanyang’s employment letter.

[We sincerely invite Mr. Lin Yuanyang to join the Security Bureau’s investigation team as a non-staff detective under A-level detective Ji Ning.]

Lin Chengsheng was very surprised, glanced at Lin Yuanyang several times, but he always stood at the door with a calm expression, one hand on the doorknob, in a gesture of asking him to leave.

Lin Chengsheng was furious, stood from the desk, and strode out.

From his back, it could be seen how upset he was.

But Lin Yuanyang didn’t care at all, he directly slammed the door and locked it.

Lin Chengsheng’s study was specially made for soundproofing; even if chaos erupted inside, no one would hear outside, making it an excellent interrogation room.

Ji Ning walked to a wooden chair, pulled it, and sat directly down.

She gestured for the trembling Aunt Pan to sit down.

Aunt Pan’s inner self was completely different from her outward appearance, she was thinking about how to guard against Ji Ning’s questions, not letting her get any information, yet she didn’t expect Ji Ning not to intend to dig for information, bluntly asking, "Was the person who attempted to assassinate Lin Yuanyang at Beijing Airport orchestrated by Li Meifang?"

Aunt Pan was startled, just wanted to deny but her mouth uncontrollably responded, "Yes."

Aunt Pan was shocked, wanted to cover her mouth, but her body was already out of control.

Before her was a maiden, whose gaze was calm like an unfathomable lake, profound and terrifying, making her scalp tingle as if she was about to fall into it.

"Why?"

Aunt Pan’s heart did not want to answer, but her mouth was still out of control, responding, "It’s for the child in her belly. Only by killing the eldest young master can the Lin Family be her child’s in the future."

Recording video on the side, Lin Yuanyang, although he knew he was a thorn in Li Meifang’s side for a long time, hearing it from Aunt Pan was truly shocking.

What’s going on with Aunt Pan?

Why is she saying these things?

He couldn’t help but look at Ji Ning.

Ji Ning continued asking, "Who sent Li Meifang to approach the Lin Family?"

Aunt Pan’s body trembled uncontrollably, her eyes filled with shock and fear, as if Ji Ning before her was her executioner.

Ji Ning continued to ask: "Does Li Meifang have contacts with the Outer Continent? Is the person behind her the same one who orchestrated the assassination of Lin Yuanyang’s mother?"

Aunt Pan’s teeth were chattering, wanting to resist the energy controlling her mind, her obese body directly slid off the chair onto the ground, making a thudding noise.

Large beads of sweat gushed from her forehead, trickling downward, her mouth having traces of blood.

Ji Ning seemed oblivious, asked the last question, "Was the airplane accident involving Lin Yuanyang’s mother and the Bai Family couple a natural disaster or human-induced?"

These questions not only shocked Aunt Pan but also left Lin Yuanyang in a state of disbelief, his gaze fixed on Aunt Pan, wanting answers from her mouth.

He didn’t understand why Ji Ning would ask these questions, but evidently, she had acquired some insider info from the Security Bureau.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t inquire like this.

Lin Yuanyang forcefully restrained himself from rushing downstairs to question Li Meifang, tightly clenching his fists.

Aunt Pan’s mouth was increasingly bloodied, her body shook like a sieve.

Finally, her mouth stammered out three words: "I... don’t... know..."

The final word wasn’t spoken, Aunt Pan then rolled her eyes and fainted.

Lin Yuanyang hurried over, bent to check Aunt Pan’s breath, finding she’s still breathing, he turned his head and said, "She’s alive."

Ji Ning slightly nodded, walked over, and tapped her forehead, allowing the white halo to merge into her brain.

This Aunt Pan’s willpower was truly remarkable, definitely professionally trained.

And she’s not ordinary, she possesses a faint energy, somewhat familiar, as if she encountered it somewhere before.
