Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 261 - 256: Watch Your Jinxed Mouth

Murder suspect?

This was beyond Ji Ning’s expectations.

Sending four superpower users to capture a fugitive, was this task assigned beforehand, or was it a last-minute order?

If it was pre-assigned, perhaps the person behind it didn’t know Ji Hong was a murder suspect.

If it was a last-minute order, the intent of the person behind it becomes rather intriguing.

Regardless of the situation, she must meet this person named Ji Hong.

"I need to know everything about Ji Hong’s files, and if possible, help those four take Ji Hong away."

Huh?

The man looked surprised, but he quickly regained his composure and replied, "Okay."

The second master of his family said that for the future of the Huang Family, no matter what demands this Boss Ji makes, they must nod and agree, and cooperate actively.

Not asking to be faultless, but definitely aiming for merit.

A performance of meritorious service.

"Boss Ji, are there any other instructions?"

"No. Report the progress of those four at any time."

"Yes."

The Huang Family’s stronghold is right in Peng City, so tracking four people is quite easy.

The man breathed a sigh of relief, finding the task so simple.

"Be careful. Those four are senior hunters from the Hunter Alliance, all with superpowers."

The man’s pupils instantly widened.

He looked incredulous.

Hunter Alliance?

Senior hunters?

And all of them are superpower users?

Is Boss Ji asking the Huang Family to risk their lives?

"You don’t need to worry, just track them normally. They won’t act against you because they don’t want to attract attention."

"But... but... Boss Ji, that’s the Hunter Alliance..."

Beside him, Ye Tong seemed a bit displeased, "So what? Our Sister Ning is an A-level detective of the Security Bureau."

The man glanced at Ye Tong and smiled bitterly inside.

A detective from the Security Bureau can suppress hunters from the Hunter Alliance due to their official status, but the Hunter Alliance isn’t to be underestimated either.

Their superpower users are strong, with wild methods, acting without much regard, straddling the line between law and chaos. To put it nicely, they’re freelance hunters, but to speak bluntly, they’re a bunch of desperados who chase money and disregard their lives.

The man hesitated, even contemplating asking the second master again.

Ji Ning’s lips curved into a slight smile, "You needn’t be afraid. If they discover you, just say you’re working for H. They won’t dare touch you."

The man frowned slightly, "Boss Ji, who is this H..."

"He’s the fifth-ranked errand runner in the Hunter Alliance."

The man was stunned again and then excitedly asked, "Boss Ji... are you also with the Hunter Alliance?"

"No."

No?

The man’s excitement deflated in an instant, "Then... then you are..."

"I know H."

"Know him?"

The man wanted to hear Ji Ning say more, but she raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is that not enough?"

"Enough, enough..."

Feeling the danger, the man quickly nodded and bowed in response, then found an excuse to leave.

On the other side.

In the warehouse of the small fishing village.

Ji Hong cautiously peered outside through a hole in the door.

She had been hiding here for three days, with dried fish blood at the corner of her lips.

This warehouse stored fish caught by the villagers, and because of the strong smell, aside from those who fish, hardly anyone comes here.

She initially wanted to kill those three scumbags, but just as she was about to act, they died outside her small fishing boat.

While examining their cause of death, she was discovered by the villagers.

They even shouted that she was a murderer.

Not wanting to stir trouble, she immediately fled.

She escaped to this warehouse.

Waiting for the storm to pass before leaving, but now it seems she needs to leave sooner.

Today, many people wearing the same clothes appeared outside the warehouse, giving her the feeling that they were coming for her.

Ji Hong’s gaze darkened slightly.

The seawater on the ground shifted like jelly, moving towards her and enveloping her, masking her presence.

The four superpower users originally came to the small fishing village to inquire about Ji Hong’s whereabouts, but they encountered police officers investigating around the village and sensed trouble. However, turning around abruptly would definitely lead to them being questioned as suspects.

Their identities were special, and they most feared dealing with the authorities.

The second brother had a quick wit and raised his phone, saying to the other three, "Quick, time for a photo. Strike a pose..."

The other brothers reacted quickly, hastily striking a photo pose.

Despite this, the close-by police stopped them and questioned their identity.

The four reported their "ordinary person" identities, and seeing no issue, the police let them go.

The police even kindly reminded them, "Don’t go near the sea, that area is sealed off."

The second brother hurriedly offered a cigarette, trying to get friendly, "Officer, what’s going on near the sea? We were thinking of going out to sea for a bit, is that still possible?"

The officer didn’t take the cigarette, glanced at him, and stated matter-of-factly, "This area is sealed off for a while. You should try another dock!"

Realizing he couldn’t get any more information from the officer, the second brother led his siblings away, planning their next move.

The four returned to their car. After driving a few dozen meters, they started discussing.

"It seems there’s been a murder here. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so strict," the second brother suggested first.

The leader agreed with him, "The difficulty of the task has upgraded, but we must complete it. You all know the consequences if we don’t."

His tone was very serious, even the usually big-mouthed third brother held back quite a bit.

The fourth brother whispered, "Boss, shouldn’t we visit a temple for protection? I have an uneasy feeling."

Before he finished, the third brother glared at him, "Shut your crow’s mouth."

The four didn’t leave the small fishing village very far and went to a nearby seafood restaurant to gather some information.

The people here weren’t very wealthy, and the restaurant had no customers. As soon as the four walked in, the person lounging on the table playing on their phone lit up. In excitement, they fell off their stool and landed on the ground.

"Sorry... sorry... couldn’t keep my balance. What would you gentlemen like to eat? We have all sorts of specialties here," the restaurant owner got up from the ground, grabbed the menu off the table, and hobbled over to the four.

While the four were snooping for information, Ji Ning and Ye Tong also drove to the vicinity of the small fishing village.

As it happened, they arrived at the neighboring seafood restaurant.

Ye Tong, wearing sunglasses, glanced at the various seafood dishes hung on the wall and chatted with the owner, "Boss, which dish in the shop is your specialty?"

The owner of this shop was a woman, neatly dressed and clean.

Even though the restaurant was quiet, the floor was spotless.

The female owner brought the menu and shyly recommended three dishes.

The prices weren’t too high.

Ye Tong was quite satisfied, "Recommend a few more dishes, we’ll need at least eight plates."

The female owner hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the slogan on the table [Cherish food, starting with me].

"Don’t worry, we won’t waste any."

Saying this, she took a phone stand out of her bag and set Ji Ning’s phone in front of her.

The female owner understood their profession at once.

After recommending a few more dishes, she quickly walked back to the kitchen.

When she emerged again, she was wearing an apron emblazoned with "Zhang’s Seafood."

Ye Tong smiled knowingly and said to Ji Ning, "Sister Ning, 3, 2, 1, look at the camera."

Meanwhile, the third brother at the neighboring restaurant, who was scrolling through Star Entertainment Live, got a notification about a streamer going live.
