Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 269 - 264: Ran Into This Femme Fatale!

Chang Ru’s eyes widened, seemingly unable to believe what she was hearing.

She stared blankly at Ji Ning until she was picked up, then her face was filled with panic as she begged, "Ji Ning, you can’t do this to me. I’m Bai Xiaotang’s cousin. If you do this, Bai Xiaotang will definitely hate you."

"Oh?" Ji Ning slowly walked over, pinching her chin with one hand and smiling, "So what? Chang Ru, I said, everyone here is smart... Throw her out!"

"No! No—Ji Ning—I was wrong! I’ll tell the truth! Let me go, please let me go..."

Chang Ru saw that Ji Ning really wanted someone to throw her into the sea and was genuinely scared, quickly pleading.

The strong man carrying her glanced back at Ji Ning. Seeing that she did not change the order, he walked to the side of the ship and really threw Chang Ru out.

The seawater suddenly flooded into Chang Ru’s nasal cavity and mouth, and a sense of suffocating death made her terrified.

Was she going to die so ignobly again, just like in her previous life?

Boo hoo hoo... She didn’t want to die...

Just as she felt she was losing consciousness, she was suddenly pulled out of the water.

Ji Ning looked at the unconscious woman on the deck and coldly said, "Don’t let her die."

The strong man hurriedly went forward to rescue her until Chang Ru spat out the seawater from her stomach and began breathing.

My god, scared me to death, thankfully she’s awake.

If she hadn’t woken up, he probably would’ve skinned alive.

This A-level agent from Beijing has such ruthless methods!

The strong man thought to himself.

"Captain, this person..."

"Woke up."

What? Again?

Ji Ning saw the plainclothes officers with her showing compassion and said blandly, "No need to throw her into the sea again."

The group immediately breathed a sigh of relief, squatted down, and patted Chang Ru’s cheeks.

"Miss, wake up..."

This girl, though cunning, was someone they risked exposing their identities to rescue from human traffickers, or she’d have long been taken by real villains on a ship to the Outer Continent, and luckily, this A-level agent had sharp eyes, noticing the abnormality of those around her at first glance.

Thinking of this made their feelings somewhat complicated.

When Chang Ru regained consciousness, her vision was blurred, and her throat and cheeks burned painfully.

Is she dead?

This was the only question in Chang Ru’s mind, and as the buzzing sound in her ears gradually cleared, she realized she wasn’t dead.

"Miss, wake up... Miss..."

The blurry silhouette in her line of sight gradually cleared, it was the strong man who had thrown her into the sea.

Terrified, she wanted to escape, but her arms were too weak to lift.

"Captain, she’s awake."

Chang Ru listened to the footsteps on deck, vibrating in her chest like drumbeats.

Boom... Boom... Boom...

"Are you awake now?"

Ji Ning’s face appeared in Chang Ru’s line of sight.

She was truly frightened this time, this woman really might kill her.

"No... don’t kill me... I... will tell..."

Half an hour later—

Wrapped in a blanket, Chang Ru softly recounted everything she knew about Ji Hong.

She still didn’t dare to say she was a reborn, instead using the excuse of a precognitive dream.

Although it sounded far-fetched, Ji Ning didn’t order her to be carried outside this time.

"So you’re quite accurate, due to consistently having precognitive dreams?"

Ji Ning didn’t believe Chang Ru’s claim, but couldn’t explain how she knew such detailed information about Ji Hong.

Especially in a small fishing village with blocked news, she accurately reported that Ji Hong was framed for murder in the village, severely injured two officers while hiding, and was bitten by a dog.

These were closely guarded secrets, known only to the police, and yet Chang Ru was able to know these things from miles away, indeed very strange.

Well, let’s assume she has this ability of precognitive dreams.

Chang Ru saw the scrutinizing and suspicious look in Ji Ning’s eyes, nervously swallowed saliva, and nodded repeatedly.

"I know this ability is quite odd, but I don’t want to be treated as a monster and sent to a lab. Can you help me keep it secret? I promise I won’t target Bai Xiaotang again. I swear!"

Chang Ru held up three fingers.

Ji Ning let out a snort, clearly not believing, "Don’t let anyone else know about the precognitive dreams."

Chang Ru released a breath and nodded obediently once more, "I won’t tell, nobody knows."

Ji Ning stood up and lightly said, "Stay here, don’t roam around."

Chang Ru nodded repeatedly again.

Ji Ning glanced at her and left the room where Chang Ru was staying.

Outside the door, an officer whispered, "Captain, should we send her back?"

"No need, we still need a bait, let her be it."

The officer hesitated for a moment and glanced at Chang Ru’s room, feeling quite sympathetic.

Feeling slightly more secure, Chang Ru dropped her timid demeanor, her face gradually darkening, her gaze sharp.

She carefully lifted the curtains by the bed to look outside; it was pitch black, the swaying of the ship reminding her she was on the endless sea.

Damn it—

Ran into this female fiend!

But what was she doing here?

And dressed like a sailor.

Were they carrying out some undercover mission for the Security Bureau?

Perhaps she could use this to escape.

Chang Ru drew the curtain back, pondering carefully.

In a nearby room, Ji Ning and several officers were watching the monitors.

A total of twenty-odd screens, each corresponding to a different space, with the content on four screens constantly moving.

"Captain, there’s a situation, Huang Liu’s trusted aide went to the kitchen. He seems to be poisoning the pot..." an officer pointed at one of the small screens and said.

Ji Ning looked over, seeing a man pouring something into the drinking water on the ship.

"Remind them," Ji Ning said.

The officer hurriedly pressed the communicator and silently said, "Attention, Huang Liu’s men are poisoning the drinking water."

The sound of tapping quickly came from the other side.

The cargo ship they were now on was provided by Mr. Huang’s trusted aide, not the one controlled by Huang Liu.

But the destination of both cargo ships was the same.

Originally Mr. Huang did ask Ji Ning to connect with Huang Liu for the sea trip, but in Ji Ning’s investigation, Huang Liu’s identity was suspicious, so she still let Mr. Huang inform Huang Liu about the sea trip, but also had Mr. Huang prepare several identities on another cargo ship, and she assumed a false identity to board the other ship.

"Brother Six, the poison is ready. As soon as they drink it, we can act," said the man returning from the kitchen, quietly beside Huang Liu.

Huang Liu’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness, saying, "When you act, be careful. That woman is highly skilled, even the Sun Family is no match."

"Don’t worry, Brother Six. I used the latest suppressive drug from over there; even a Sixteenth Rank can temporarily lose their superpower."

Huang Liu was quite satisfied, patting the man’s shoulder, "Very well. Tell the brothers later, whoever first avenges Brother Three won’t be treated unfairly by Brother Six!"
