Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 263 - 258: What Do You Want?

December in Peng City, the weather is like spring.

The gentle sea breeze has taken away the heat brought by the sunlight.

Behind Ji Ning, the bushes are lush, and the sun filtering through the dense branches and leaves makes Ji Ning’s face alternately bright and dark.

Ye Tong looked at Ji Ning on the phone screen, and for some reason, the hairs on her body stood on end, giving her the feeling that a great danger was about to approach.

Just as her scalp tingled and her fingers trembled slightly, a man’s shout suddenly came from not far away.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

Ye Tong followed the voice and saw a group of uniformed police officers arriving on the road by the beach.

They were holding several police dogs.

Among these officers were also the four kidnappers pretending to be Security Bureau detectives.

Ye Tong’s momentary relief was replaced by tension once more.

Ji Ning frowned slightly, irritated by the interruption.

She glanced back at the bushes, and her hand behind her body flicked slightly.

The grass behind her moved slightly as if a tiny pebble skimmed over it.

The officers by the shore continued to shout, "This area is sealed off, come on up quickly."

"We’ll be right up," Ye Tong’s voice hinted at urgency as she replied, turning to see Ji Ning walking toward the shore, hastily picking up the backpack from the beach to follow.

Hiding in the bushes, Ji Hong’s pupils trembled slightly, watching the slim figure depart through the gaps in the foliage.

Nearby, blood droplets like frozen layers concealed all her scents.

She...

Ji Hong gritted her molars, and with her last remaining strength, healed the continuously bleeding wound before diving deeper into the bush.

The officer examined the residence cards Ji Ning and Ye Tong handed over, and his gaze full of inquiry swept over them a few times, "When did you arrive here?"

Ye Tong’s voice implied tension as she responded, "Officer, we just arrived today, and we ate nearby for lunch."

"Where did you eat?"

"Just at those seafood restaurants ahead. We even did a livestream there." With that, Ye Tong showed him the account page where Ji Ning started the live stream.

"Brother Ning’s Food Exploration? Are you popular streamers?"

"No, no, we just started, and we don’t have many followers or views," Ye Tong quickly waved her hand, looking modest.

Not far away, Lao San suddenly turned his head as if trying to get a clearer view of their faces.

But they all wore sunglasses.

Seeing this, Lao Er discreetly poked him when no one was watching.

Only then did Lao San restrain himself, although he kept glancing in the direction of Ji Ning and Ye Tong.

Making Ye Tong quite nervous.

After checking their belongings, the officer prepared to accompany them to investigate the place they had lunch.

"Wait a second. Take off your sunglasses and masks!" Lao San suddenly interjected.

Startled, Ye Tong nearly dropped her identification card.

She immediately looked at Ji Ning.

Seeing Ji Ning calmly take off her sunglasses, revealing her face, she lightly said, "Is there a problem?"

Lao San’s pupils slightly widened, almost exposing himself, luckily Lao Er next to him nudged him.

They didn’t expect this; Ye Tong’s manager had tracked them to this place.

Wait a minute...

Could the person next to her be the runaway Ye Tong?

Seeing Ji Ning fearlessly remove her sunglasses, Ye Tong followed suit, taking off her sunglasses and mask, exposing an awkward smile to them.

All four of them were now as shocked as they were furious.

Especially Ye Tong’s smile felt like an insult to them.

Lao San thought about angrily swearing, but his second brother said, "No problem. But appearing here is suspicious, take them back for questioning!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Ning suddenly showed a faint smile, "Questioning? Which department are you from? Show me your identification."

The nearby police officer interjected, "They’re agents of the Security Bureau."

"Oh, Security Bureau. Just so happens I have acquaintances there. Which Bureau are you from? Beijing Security Bureau? Or Huazhou Security Department? I’m quite familiar with their bosses."

The more Lao San and Lao Si listened, the more they felt anxious, sensing that the manager in front had already seen through their identity.

Both of them unavoidably glanced at Lao Da and Lao Er.

Lao Er, keeping his voice steady, spoke very seriously, "Is that so? Security Bureau cases don’t involve personal connections! Take them away for questioning!"

Ye Tong became anxious, raising her voice, "You say you’re a Security Bureau agent just like that? Show your identification, without that, we’re not going anywhere with you. Who knows if you’re human traffickers trying to kidnap young girls..."

Lao Er’s face darkened, looking at the officer nearest to Ye Tong, he barked harshly, "Take them away quickly!"

"Who are you? What gives you the right to order the officers around? You’re not their superior, are you? When they checked our identification, they showed their badge too. Why aren’t you showing yours? I now seriously doubt you’re not from the Security Bureau!"

Ye Tong three-parts acting, seven-parts true called on the nearby officer, "Officer, are you sure their identification is genuine? Just wearing masks makes them from the Security Bureau? What if it’s imposters? Please verify again. Back when we were at the Sea City Food Festival, bad people disguised as Security Bureau agents showed up..."

With this said, the surrounding officers looked at the four superpower users with some suspicion.

Lao Er’s look at Ye Tong was already tinged with murderous intent, "Alright... I’ll show you!"

Lao Er took out a black folder from his pocket, forcibly tossing it to Ye Tong.

The force contained superpower, potentially injuring an average person if they tried to catch it.

Ji Ning swiftly caught it and opened it for a glance.

It was actually genuine identification.

But the number on this identification might not be his.

It’s possibly from a Gunan County Security Department agent.

"Sister Ning, is it real?" Ye Tong softly asked.

The nearby officer gave them an extra glance.

Ji Ning nodded slightly, "It’s real."

Lao Er showed a cruel smile, "Since that’s the case..."

"It’s real, but it might not be yours."

Ji Ning unfolded the identification, pointing to the numbers and letters indicating agent identity, she calmly stated, "Security Bureau identification without a photo belongs to special department agents. Though the identification is real, and the number is real, there’s a loophole. If an agent’s identification is accidentally lost or picked up by someone with intentions, even police might not be able to recognize it..."

"What do you propose?" Finally, Lao Da spoke up.

His voice was slightly hoarse, filled with rage.

Ji Ning smiled while raising the identification in her hand, speaking calmly: "Then let’s have the Security Department verify it. Check today’s location of this agent?"

Lao Da’s pupils instantly contracted, his hand behind his back clenching tightly into a fist.

Lao Er no longer wished to waste words with Ji Ning, directly commanding Lao San and Lao Si, "Lao San, Lao Si, seize them!"

"Wait! They’re ordinary people, they don’t fall under the special department’s jurisdiction."

The officer standing beside Ji Ning and Ye Tong suddenly intervened to stop them.

Lao Er no longer cared about exposing his identity, loudly shouted: "Take them down! Take them directly away!"
