Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 266 - 261: We’ve Got People and We’ve Got Vehicles

Chapter 266: Chapter 261: We’ve Got People and We’ve Got Vehicles

It’s better not to mention this matter, but when it comes up, Sun Yazhu’s heart aches.

That old fox from the Gu Family is truly ruthless, demanding half of the profits from the Sun Family’s Outer Continent ventures—really taking a big bite out of the Sun Family.

But to escape the current situation, she has no choice but to cooperate with them.

At least the Gu Family members keep their promises. Compared to the greed of other families, the Gu Family knows how to control their desires.

Seeing Sun Yazhu not respond from the rearview mirror, Chang Ru’s smile grew deeper.

She had privately negotiated terms with the Gu Family. She would help them take over the entire Sun Family industry, and in return, they would help her become the head of the Chang Family and bring the Chang Family into the inner city.

However, the Gu Family Head is always cunning, so she kept a safeguard—having the Gu Family help her become Chang Family Head first before handing over all Sun Family assets.

Once she became the head, she wouldn’t have to care about the Gu Family’s opinions.

Thinking of this, Chang Ru was determined to win on this trip to Linhai Town.

Meanwhile.

Just as Ji Hong escaped the small fishing village, she was stopped dead in her tracks by four superpower users.

Ji Hong recognized their identities and was extremely cautious.

Just as she was ready to strike with lethal precision, one of them spoke: "If you go any further, you’ll enter their encirclement."

Ji Hong squinted her eyes, her guard not lowered even slightly, "What do you mean?"

"Someone sent us to take you out."

"Who?" Ji Hong recalled the woman who helped her that morning, "The person you talked to?"

"Yes."

"Who is she?"

"Someone who can help you."

"Why should I trust you?"

Unexpectedly, the superpower user turned aside, clearing the path ahead of her, "If you don’t trust us, you can go ahead."

Ji Hong clenched her fist tightly, took a deep look at them, and seeing they had no intention to stop her, took a deep breath and said, "Fine, lead the way."

...

The town near the small fishing village is called Linhai Town.

There is no Security Bureau in the town, only in the county.

Ji Ning didn’t go to the county because those Security Bureau detectives had already arrived at the Linhai Town police station, along with the deputy head of the county police department and others.

The team leader was an A-level detective from the special department of the Security Bureau, but Ji Ning’s status as an A-level detective from the Hua Continent Special Security Department was still one level higher.

The leader had to salute Ji Ning when meeting him, and Ji Ning replied with a salute.

The police station chief’s office wasn’t big, containing just a desk and a row of double sofas.

Not everyone could sit, so most stood outside the office.

Inside were only the deputy head of the police department, the police station chief, and the A-level detective from the special department.

Ji Ning was invited to sit on the sofa while the others sat on brought-in plastic chairs, holding notebooks for the meeting.

Ji Ning touched his nose.

Although the A-level detective wore a mask, making his expression unclear, his voice revealed his urgency.

"Detective Ji, if headquarters has any cases needing cooperation, we are ready 24/7."

In this remote place, there rarely are major cases. When can they get promoted and relocated away from here?

Now, finally, a big shot from Beijing is here; she must have an important case. If they can have a share of it, this year’s KPI can be considered completed, maybe even exceeded.

Thinking of this, the A-level detective almost wanted to treat Ji Ning like a deity, with eyes burning like beams from behind the mask. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Ji Ning coughed lightly twice, "It’s not exactly a big case, but it requires secret investigation. I indeed need some manpower here..."

"No problem, people, vehicles—we have them, ready to go at any time." The A-level detective nearly stood up.

The cold image of the superpower user is almost nowhere to be seen.

Even the nearby deputy head of the police department seemed a bit uncomfortable.

Ji Ning flashed a subtle smile, "No need to hurry, look at the documents first."

Ji Ning granted access to parts of the Sea City food festival case documents.

They studied them carefully, taking notes from time to time, their earnest attitude even drawing Ji Ning’s seriousness.

"This matter has a wide scope, so the investigators should be screened internally later."

The people in the room suddenly took on a serious demeanor, and Ji Ning was quite satisfied.

This meeting lasted from noon to afternoon.

Meanwhile, Ji Hong was growing impatient in her hiding place.

Finally, the warehouse door opened, and the superpower user guard, Lao San, seemed relieved as he let out a deep breath.

Ji Hong squinted slightly, seeing it wasn’t Ji Ning, she angrily said to the superpower user leader, "Where is she? You better have a reasonable explanation."

"She asks us to bring you aboard. She is waiting on the ship."

"Aboard?" Ji Hong’s fist gradually tightened, and the puddle on the ground was gathering under her fist, ready to become a deadly weapon at any moment.

The superpower user leader calmly replied, "Since you killed law enforcement officers, you are now wanted. Your only way out is through us..."

"Did she say that?"

"Yes. Additionally, she isn’t helping for free, it’s a mutual benefit arrangement."

Ji Hong’s anger slowly cooled down, after taking a look at him, she coldly said, "You better remember your words, if you dare play tricks, I’ll make your life a living hell!"

"Go inside." The superpower user leader opened a large luggage case he brought, gesturing for Ji Hong to enter.

But Ji Hong remained cautious, pointing at the superpower user Lao San, "He goes in, give me his clothes and mask."

Lao San looked surprised, but seeing the leader agree outright, swallowed his words.

Into the case he went.

Ji Hong was very cautious, and after changing into Lao Si’s clothes, she stuffed cushions into her shoulders, waist, and shoes, altering her height and build.

"Let’s move."

The superpower user leader gestured forward, but Ji Hong still had them walk ahead.

This was the area behind a row of restaurants outside the small fishing village.

In this outfit, the police outside didn’t care where they were headed.

But exiting the blockade required showing identification.

Lao San had preemptively given his ID to Ji Hong, who successfully used it to exit the blockade.

She surveyed the surroundings, pondering which route to escape.

"You better not think of running; the police have a wide covert encirclement, you can’t break through," the superpower user leader seemed to read her mind, quietly warned her.

Ji Hong’s heart tightened, glaring at him before suppressing her thoughts.

The superpower user leader and his colleagues escorted her to a parked seven-seater SUV on the roadside.

The windows were tinted; you couldn’t see inside from outside.

Ji Hong followed them into the car, sitting in the back, observing their backs.

Meanwhile, Lao San was carried onto the car inside the suitcase, released after driving some distance.

"Damn, I finally understand why that little bitch beat me so hard. It’s really uncomfortable in here."

Lao San clutched his near-vomiting chest, dry-heaving at the window before recovering.

Ji Hong glanced at him, asking the superpower user leader, "Where to now?"

"To a port near Linhai Town."
