Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 260 - 255: Wake Up, They’ve Escaped

Ye Tong’s heart tightened.

Quickly pulling up her pants, she tentatively called out: "Hey... what’s wrong?"

But there was no sound from outside.

Ye Tong hurriedly twisted the button on her pants, shouting: "Is anyone there? Hey... is anyone there? Why is it silent?"

Until a familiar voice came through the button: "Open the door for me."

Ye Tong’s face instantly lit up with joy, she struggled to pull up her pants and ran out.

"Damn it, tied so tightly..." Ye Tong’s face turned red as she hopped and stood on tiptoes, using all her strength to unlock the door.

Upon seeing Ji Ning in a delivery vest, her nose tingled with grievance.

"Sister Ning... why are you just getting here..."

Ji Ning lifted her finger and flicked it over the rope on Ye Tong’s body.

The rope broke in the direction of Ji Ning’s finger like soggy noodles.

Ye Tong finally felt some relief.

But thinking about how she was almost seen naked by those four smelly men, she gritted her teeth and walked over to the third-ranking superpower user, punching him in the eye.

Almost knocked him awake.

Fortunately, Ji Ning’s drug was quite strong.

Ji Ning let her vent enough before saying: "Let’s go."

Ye Tong paused, surprised, and asked: "Leave now?"

"You want to stay and be their bride?"

"No, no..." Ye Tong shook her head hard.

She definitely didn’t want to spend any more time with those four smelly men.

Ji Ning took Ye Tong to her room and had Lin Yuanyang remotely delete all hotel surveillance, then climbed into bed to sleep.

Ye Tong had a difficult expression, "Sister Ning, aren’t we running away?"

Ji Ning glanced at her: "With me here, why run away?"

Ye Tong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the new clothes Ji Ning had prepared for her, went into the bathroom, and enjoyed a hot shower, then went to bed peacefully.

She slept a solid seven to eight hours.

Compared to their leisure, the four men in the next room were in a panic.

The first to wake was the most powerful boss, his vigilance always high, he quickly got up to search the surroundings.

Seeing a bundle of rope at the door, he hurried to wake his three brothers.

"Wake up quickly, they’ve escaped."

The three brothers weren’t as strong as him, even forcibly waking up, their limbs were still weak.

"Damn it, the little woman escaped!" Lao San cursed angrily once he sobered up and looked around.

"Boss, let’s hurry and chase them!"

"No, we’ve been exposed. We need to evacuate quickly." The second brother looked at the boss with a grim expression.

After the four hurriedly drove a few hundred kilometers away from the hotel, Ye Tong gradually woke, stretching with satisfaction.

"Sister Ning? What time is it?"

Ye Tong saw Ji Ning sitting on the adjacent bed, constantly playing a game on her phone, and couldn’t help but ask.

She didn’t know where her phone was thrown.

Ji Ning didn’t look up, "It’s 8:15 PM, your meal’s on the table, eat it yourself."

Ye Tong hadn’t eaten much at noon, and she was indeed hungry, so she went over, opened the takeout, and gobbled it down.

While eating, she looked at Ji Ning through the mirror, "Sister Ning, did those four guys leave?"

"Yes."

"What do we do next?"

"Track them."

"Huh?" Ye Tong was confused.

Ji Ning’s thumb moved quickly on the skill buttons on the screen, replying: "As target one, you’ve already escaped. To redeem themselves, they have no choice but to do their best to complete target two, presumably they’re already close to Peng City now."

"What? Then how can we chase them? How far have they gone?" Ye Tong was a bit anxious, even losing her appetite.

But Ji Ning remained calm: "It’s okay, someone there is watching them."

Besides...

Did they think that after passing out for a few hours due to her drug, it was over? 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Too naive!

"Ah... Boss, are you okay yet? I really can’t hold it anymore!"

"Ah... no, I really can’t hold it anymore..."

"Second brother, can I have a new pair of pants?"

"Lao San... I don’t have any pants left either..."

***

After dinner, Ji Ning let Ye Tong stay for another night at the hotel.

They didn’t check out until the next morning.

The two drove the car southeast.

They were still a few hundred kilometers from Peng City, and it would take at least 12 hours by car.

They stopped at several service stations along the way, reaching Peng City as night fell.

Ye Tong looked at the increasingly closer red dot on the map, her smile particularly radiant.

Yet her eyes lacked warmth.

This time, Ji Ning didn’t choose to stay in the same hotel as the four men, but in a hotel separated by a street.

The hotel wasn’t large, only five floors high, with old furnishings, but it was clean.

Ye Tong looked around and didn’t pay attention to the conversation between Ji Ning and the front desk clerk.

"Customer, what is the number of the room you reserved?"

"502"

"The person who booked is Ms. Ji Ning. Who are you to her?"

Ji Ning: ...

"My surname is Ji." Ji Ning took out her identification and handed it over.

The front desk clerk, having seen the information, apologized, embarrassed.

"Sorry, Miss Ji..."

"Have they arrived?"

Ji Ning cut off her apology and asked directly.

The front desk clerk nodded immediately, "Yes. Mr. Huang booked room 501."

Ji Ning nodded slightly, motioning for her to take the room card.

Subsequently, Ji Ning swiped open room 502’s door, just as a door-opening sound came from next door. An unremarkable-looking man sneaked up to Ji Ning, only for Ye Tong to quickly grab his arm, twist it behind him, and press him firmly against the wall.

"Auntie... have mercy... I... Second Master sent... sent me."

"Ye Tong, let go."

Ji Ning glanced at the man, left this sentence, and went inside.

Ye Tong released him, but her eyes remained full of caution.

The man’s arm was sore from being pinned, he shook it vigorously and then grinned at Ye Tong, cupping his hands: "It’s... it’s all a misunderstanding... part of our own team!"

Ye Tong kept her face stern and didn’t respond.

The man quickly invited Ye Tong into her room, following behind her.

"Boss Ji, our Second Master’s people have already followed them. The group went to a small fishing village in Dongqi County two hours ago, but things aren’t calm there now. Three people just died, and the place is almost surrounded by police. Our people don’t dare to get too close, afraid of being suspected and arrested."

The man entered the room, straightened his posture, and reported to Ji Ning in a businesslike manner.

"Who died?" Ji Ning asked.

The man hesitated, then quickly said: "I don’t know, I’ll have someone check soon."

Ji Ning nodded slightly, "Also check if there’s someone named Ji Hong there."

"Ji Hong?" The man pondered for a moment, his eyebrows furrowing, and looked at Ji Ning in surprise, "Is this person related to you?"

"No, why?"

"She’s suspected of murder and is currently wanted by the police."
