Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 272 - 267: I Just Had a Dream

Huang Liu was utterly frightened by Biao Zi’s gun.

No matter how much the superpower user’s Lao Er questioned him afterward, he wouldn’t say another word.

"Help me... help me... they’re going to kill me..."

"Who wants to kill you?"

"Help me... help me..."

Huang Liu seemed to have lost his mind, leaving the others quite helpless.

Huang Liu’s confidant became even more afraid to make any moves, fearing being labeled as the culprit.

The gun was thrown directly to the ground, and he retreated repeatedly.

The superpower user’s Lao Er exchanged a knowing glance with Boss Ning, realizing they had been set up by Ji Ning.

Yet, they had to brace themselves and continue the act.

"No one is allowed to move! We are Security Bureau detectives!"

These words were like stirring up a hornet’s nest.

Huang Liu’s confidants all started running towards the deck, shouting as they ran, "Brothers, the cops are here..."

The five of them: ...

The Huang Family was always at the edge between black and white.

Although they had nearly whitewashed now, their clansmen still acted boldly and ruthlessly, otherwise, they couldn’t intimidate the seaborne roguish elements.

Huang Liu had always been by Mr. San’s side before.

Although they were distant relatives separated by several households, they had mutual understanding, doing things without any bottom line.

Huang Liu even blamed Mr. Huang for profit.

But he hid it well and wasn’t discovered or dealt with by Mr. Huang.

Everyone on this ship belonged to Huang Liu.

One might say birds of a feather flock together.

Usually, Huang Liu acted ruthlessly and unscrupulously, which also meant the people around him were cruel and cunning.

Seeing Huang Liu captured, these people didn’t hesitate out of fear of alerting the enemy, but rather tried all means possible to commit murder to silence him.

The five of them spent a good amount of time before they got this group on the ship under control.

However, both sides were on high alert against each other.

With the deck and cabin as boundaries, Huang Liu’s men stood guard on the deck with fierce looks, while the five guarded Huang Liu in the cabin for interrogation.

For safety, the superpower users Lao San and Lao Si watched over these ship-workers at the cabin door.

One had an earth power, and the other had a power mutation, both belonging to the defensive superpower users.

The superpower users Boss Lao and Lao Er brought Ji Hong to interrogate Huang Liu.

Ji Hong knew the two were wary of him, and he didn’t interfere with the interrogation, looking bored as he sat aside playing cards.

She didn’t know how to play them and had never seen them before, so she made an effort to memorize the patterns and numbers above.

In chaotic times, she’s never seen these things.

In order not to expose her identity, she needed to learn as much about the knowledge and skills of this era as possible.

On the other side, the superpower user’s Lao Er had a headache.

Opposite them, Huang Liu seemed terrified, curled up holding his head, murmuring, "I don’t know anything... don’t kill me..."

He knew he was pretending, but they couldn’t use extreme measures since they still had the police’s surveillance devices on them.

"Don’t be afraid, we will protect you. No one can kill you..."

The superpower user’s Lao Er coaxed earnestly, seeing Huang Liu act as if he couldn’t hear him. Helplessly, he looked at Boss Ning.

Boss Ning had a calm expression, looking at Huang Liu for a long moment before he said, "The reason you don’t dare to speak is that you know there are people watching you on the ship. If you speak, they will take your life, right?"

Huang Liu didn’t answer, curling up even more, burying his head deeper, looking as if his whole body was trembling, "Don’t kill me... don’t kill me..."

The superpower user Boss Lao said, "No need to interrogate any longer. There are quite a few people on this ship with ulterior motives; he only knows a part. Go tell Lao San that we need to interrogate those on the deck as well."

"Where to interrogate?"

The superpower user Boss Lao looked at Huang Liu’s now still body and said flatly, "In this room."

"Yes..."

Upon hearing this, Ji Hong glanced at him, a hint of appreciation flashing in her eyes.

This person is talented; she wondered if she could use him.

Sitting on another ship, Ji Ning also heard the policemen praising the superpower user Boss Lao.

She smiled softly and pressed the communication button, "Keep an eye on Ji Hong, don’t let her come in contact with Huang Liu."

The superpower user Boss Lao paused for a moment, casting an expressionless glance at each of their positions.

Huang Liu was by the bed, Ji Hong by the table, still at a reasonable distance.

But he still said to Ji Hong, "Lao Er, throw him over there. There will be interrogations here in a moment."

The superpower user’s Lao Er cooperatively stood up, picked Huang Liu up, and threw him to the other side of the bed, further from Ji Hong.

Ji Hong didn’t show any expression, but she felt a bit regretful inside. This distance made it difficult to get close to Huang Liu.

Otherwise, she might have used Huang Liu to make her escape.

Even though that woman saved her, she instinctively sensed that woman was someone not to mess with and should be kept at a distance.

Meanwhile, the very woman she was thinking of was listening with amused interest as Chang Ru spoke outside the door.

"Miss Ji, can I stay with you? I’m a bit scared."

Chang Ru spoke while deliberately looking at the room opposite her, as if someone inside posed a threat to her.

"I’m just next door." Ji Ning didn’t respond to the hint, her expression indifferent.

Chang Ru internally growled with frustration, finding Ji Ning unyielding and hard to fool.

But she really didn’t want to be alone in the cabin.

"No, I just had a dream..." Chang Ru lowered her voice.

Ji Ning raised an eyebrow, stepping aside, "Come in and tell me."

Chang Ru breathed a sigh of relief and quickly entered Ji Ning’s room.

As she looked up, she met the sharp eyes of five or six men.

These men were dressed like ship-workers, but the aura they exuded was anything but.

Chang Ru looked at the variety of small computers and screens inside the room and instantly regretted her decision.

She truly wanted to uncover Ji Ning’s secrets, but not this way.

This was like walking into the lion’s den, with no hope of escaping unscathed.

Chang Ru’s cheeks burned, feeling that Ji Ning had already seen through her intentions and had purposefully exposed the secrets to her face.

Catching her off guard.

Ji Ning closed the door with a light chuckle and asked, "What dream did you have?"

Chang Ru panicked internally. She had originally made up an excuse to get into Ji Ning’s room, but now, seeing these people, she suddenly felt her small tricks couldn’t cut it.

Who are these people?

Could they all be Security Bureau agents?

Was the person who threw her into the sea also from the Security Bureau?

Just as she was pondering this, a rather gangster-looking man among them spoke, "Boss Ning, is this little girl someone you brought on the ship?"

Chang Ru’s face turned pale instantly, and she nervously stepped back several steps, hiding beside Ji Ning.

Ji Ning glanced at Chang Ru and said with a playful tone, "Her cousin helped me out, so I brought her back from Lame Feng."

The man’s eyes roved boldly over Chang Ru, "Not bad looking, and Lame Feng just let you take her?"

Chang Ru was so frightened she shrank behind Ji Ning.

She thought she would be safe with Ji Ning, but unexpectedly, Ji Ning was associating with such people.

Wasn’t she a Security Bureau detective?

Could she be on an undercover mission?

Chang Ru clutched Ji Ning’s clothes, peeking over her shoulder to secretly observe the men across the room.

They all had screens in front of them, seemingly monitoring a particular place.

Are they really not Security Bureau agents?

"Boss Ning, the beers are here..." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

The door suddenly opened again, and two men with bare chests, dark-skinned, walked in carrying two cases of beer.

The men seated instantly brightened up, "Boss Ning, you’re the man!"

"Have a drink, gentlemen. Thank you for taking us out to sea," Ji Ning said appropriately.

"No problem. Mr. San’s friends are my friends."
