Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 259 - 254: So That Means We’re Going by Water?

Chapter 259: Chapter 254: So That Means We’re Going by Water?

Their car stopped outside the hotel Ye Tong had booked. When they returned, in order not to attract attention, they placed the suitcase containing Ye Tong in the trunk and then went into the hotel to retrieve the luggage and check out.

Ji Ning took the opportunity, as they entered the hotel, to attach an inconspicuous "button" under the car.

Then she walked to a nearby parked unfamiliar car and got in.

This car was rented in advance by Huang Ying, who had someone from the car rental company drive it to the hotel just in case.

The four of them did not stay long in the hotel; they quickly came out with their luggage and left in the car discreetly.

Ji Ning’s car waited a while before following.

The navigation map inside the car displayed the location of the four people’s vehicle ahead.

Ji Ning followed them at a distance, driving from night until dawn, and then till night again.

However, the route deviated from the planned track.

"Sister Ning, with their current direction, they are heading not to Nanling, but to Peng City."

Ji Ning’s expression remained calm, she replied, "Got it."

Peng City...

Does that mean they are taking the water route?

Are there still people from the Huang Family?

Inside the car— 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Ye Tong’s consciousness gradually cleared, and she heard the voices of several people speaking around her.

The voices weren’t particularly rough, yet carried a hint of weariness.

She didn’t dare open her eyes and let them discover she was awake, so she continued listening to their conversation without showing any signs.

"Boss, those people from Nanling are really stingy, giving such a small amount of money and wanting to abduct another person—do they really think we are kidnappers?"

"Exactly. If it weren’t for that one person giving orders, we wouldn’t have to put up with their crap. None of those people are any good!"

"Alright, keep your complaints to yourselves. The boss drove all night. By the way, the woman in the back seat is about to wake up. Better give her another dose of drugs..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Tong quickly controlled her breathing, summoning the dedication of playing dead, enduring the pain as someone injected her with another dose of anesthetic.

Before losing consciousness, she subtly touched the button on her pants.

Following behind, Ji Ning immediately received a signal connection sound.

Soon after, the voices of several men chatting gradually reached her ears.

Nice!

On the road ahead, perhaps because the four felt safe, the journey slowed down a bit.

They visited service stations several times and bought a lot of things.

Among them were adult diapers.

Listening to Ye Tong’s indignant voices, Ji Ning’s gaze grew even colder.

At the next service station, she had them eat burgers laced with something extra.

"Boss, stop the car quickly! I can’t take it anymore."

"Hold on, we’re almost at the service station."

"I can’t hold it, it hurts so much..."

"This is the highway! Just bear it a little longer..."

"Damn, when we get back I’m going to complain about that convenience store for selling expired food..."

Watching the car in front speeding up, a smile appeared on Ji Ning’s lips.

This time, the four didn’t dare continue rushing and stopped at a remote hotel.

Ye Tong was still packed into the suitcase and taken into the hotel.

Ji Ning also stayed at the hotel.

She stayed right next door to them.

"Boss, are those people playing us? Telling us to go to a small fishing village to fetch someone, giving just a name without a photo or detailed information, what do they take us for?"

"Lao San, can’t you see the boss is very tired? Stop chattering nonstop."

"Second brother, I’m looking out for the welfare of the four brothers. We all belong to the alliance, so why do those people always use us as pawns? Every task they assign gets more ridiculous than the last. Look at this one, they just told us to take a woman named Ji Hong. And then what? Is this some sort of pitfall mission waiting for our four brothers to fall into?"

"Boss, second brother, I think third brother has a point. This task is indeed a bit strange. In the past, no matter how difficult the task, at least the target’s background would be explained. This time the target is only given a name..."

The boss, lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at his brothers, and said in a deep voice, "After reaching there, don’t act rashly, gather information first."

"Understood..."

"Boss, the girl next door..."

"Use more drugs to prevent any mishaps."

"Boss, that girl is quite pretty, why don’t we first..."

"Snap!"

"Lao San! Are you asking for death?"

"Second brother, why hit me?"

"I think you’ve eaten too many buns, your brain is full of dough! Do you really think you’re a kidnapper?"

"Second brother!"

"Lao Er, take Lao San out to clear his head! Also, bring the person over to this room."

...

"Ding dong——"

The doorbell suddenly rang.

"Who is it?"

The four of them in the room rose alertly.

Outside, a cold voice replied, "Your delivery has arrived."

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief, one of them went to open the door and took a large bag of fast food.

"Boss, it’s time to eat."

"Bring that woman over to eat."

"Haha, the boss is really kind-hearted."

Soon after, Ye Tong was packed into the suitcase again and pushed into another room.

With an icy expression, Ye Tong coldly allowed a man to lift her out of the suitcase and place her on a chair beside her.

Her body and legs were tied with ropes, allowing her hands a slight movement.

"Eat quickly! There’s a bathroom here, you can clean up a bit." One of the superpower users untied some of the ropes binding her and reattached them to the chair’s backrest.

Her arms were free to move, but she couldn’t leave the chair.

Ye Tong pursed her lips in silence, coldly glared at the superpower user who spoke, but did not refuse the spoon he handed over.

Ye Tong ate silently from the bowl, not uttering a word.

The third-ranked superpower user, holding a bowl, ran to sit across from her, watching her eat.

"Haha, little girl, watching you eat is enjoyable; there’s a saying, beauty equals appetite."

Ye Tong completely ignored him, quickly finished the food in the container, and said coldly to the leader among the four, "I need water, and the bathroom."

Having not drunk water for a long time, her lips were a bit chapped, and her voice was very hoarse.

The leader looked at her for a while, then signaled to the superpower user beside him, who immediately put down his food and approached her.

Loosening the rope tying Ye Tong to the chair, he secured it back onto her body.

Her arms were once again tightly bound, allowing only minimal wrist movements, but the ropes on her legs were untied.

Ye Tong shook her ankles, which had become slightly engorged from being tied, preparing to stand, when she saw the superpower user pull out an ankle shackle from his pocket and clamp it onto one of her feet.

Ye Tong’s face instantly darkened.

The superpower user smiled faintly, "Miss Ye, we’ve heard a bit about your escape abilities; this is just a precaution."

Afterwards, Ye Tong’s foot was linked to a chair leg outside the bathroom.

Even so, the superpower user remained vigilant, removing all toiletries from the bathroom that could be turned into weapons, and stood waiting outside the bathroom.

Filled with anger, Ye Tong sat on the toilet for a full half hour.

Until the superpower user’s threatening voice came from outside the door, "Miss Ye, if you don’t come out soon, for the rest of the journey, your food will be halved, and no water."

Ye Tong gnashed her teeth in anger, glaring resentfully at the adult diaper beside her, wishing she could put it over his head.

She silently recited several times not to get angry, slowly stood up.

Just at that moment, several "clangs" suddenly sounded outside the door.
