Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 281 - 276: Who Wants Her Dead

Ji Ning thought about the Li Family and spoke into the earpiece, "Ask him who else knows about this matter?"

Soon, Lin Chengsheng’s voice came from the other side, "You guys aren’t doubting what I said, are you? Everything I said is true. Besides me and your grandmother, no one else knows about this. Because ever since your grandfather passed away, those shoes were buried with him."

"Ask him who handed this relic to his father. Start the investigation from this angle."

After giving instructions, Ji Ning hung up the call and quickened her pace.

Chang Ru left the ship, and the number of informed people could be counted on five fingers.

If it isn’t that the police have someone on the other side, then there’s someone by Ji Hong’s side on the ship.

But regardless of who it is, the other side clearly doesn’t want to expose the Huang Liu line.

So outsiders who get on Huang Liu’s ship are in danger...

Thinking of this, Ji Ning pursed her lips and pressed the communicator on her wrist.

At that moment, the superpower user’s leader had lost all of his superpowers, lying on the ground like a worthless person.

The second superpower user, clutching his injured arm, glared angrily at the man not far away; if looks could kill, that man would have been sliced to pieces.

"The captain said, after all, you guys are desperados, not trustworthy. For her reputation, it’s best that you disappear."

The man looked smug, pointing the silencer gun at the two once again.

"Despicable and shameless!" pressed the second superpower user fiercely as he felt his powers ebbing away.

This man was too despicable.

He not only swapped the Suppressive Drug with disinfectant water for the leader but also attacked him with a suppression needle when he wasn’t paying attention.

Luckily, he reacted quickly and only got a little of the drug, but it still affected him.

The man was thoroughly enjoying the scene, as if he were the one deciding the fate of others.

As long as he gently pulled the trigger, these two arrogant superpower users would die at his hands.

"Don’t blame me; I’m just working for someone else. Who told you your luck is bad, blocking someone’s way..."

Before finishing his words, the suddenly locked door was forcefully knocked open.

The man reacted quickly, turned around, and fired, but the person who entered moved faster than him. Before he could see clearly, his wrist was struck with intense pain, causing the gun to fall to the ground.

"Ah—"

Ji Hong bent down to pick up the gun, glanced at the two, and mocked, "Still saying you don’t know who the rat is? Hah..."

The third and fourth superpower users followed her in, worriedly asking, "Boss, second brother, are you guys okay?"

The second superpower user was a bit bewildered; he didn’t know why Ji Hong came to rescue them so quickly.

But before he could ask, Ji Hong had already grabbed the man writhing in pain on the ground and left.

"Wait a moment..."

But Ji Hong left quickly, not giving them any chance.

"What the heck is going on? How did you end up like this?" the third superpower user asked.

The second superpower user replied sarcastically, "How should I know?"

Meanwhile, Ji Hong, who had taken the man with her, transformed into a stranger’s face as she exited the room.

No one noticed during this time.

The stranger dragged the unconscious man out of the cabin, and soon, someone came to inquire.

"What happened to him?"

The stranger pointed to the cabin above, and the person immediately understood.

They helped drag the man to the warehouse below the deck.

This storage room was specifically used for detaining people.

After throwing the man into the warehouse, the stranger turned and left.

"The person has been caught."

"Thanks."

"When can I leave the ship?"

"In a while."

"..."

"I’ve arranged for your leave."

"..."

Ji Ning cut off the communication, feeling pleased.

Luckily she had a backup plan, also putting Huang Ying on the ship.

Indeed, there were hidden enemies around her.

Just don’t know how many more are there.

Ji Ning’s gaze darkened, looking at the figure in the distance.

He had led her around in circles many times, and now they were finally heading to the destination.

Ji Ning followed him through the hospital’s outpatient building, exiting through another small door, and walked into a nearby residential area.

Given Chang Ru’s physical condition, she couldn’t be far from the hospital.

So this community was his best place to hide people.

Ji Ning glanced back at the unremarkable hospital door.

The superpower user quickly entered a building, and Ji Ning followed him inside.

The spiritual power covering her entire being made her presence difficult to detect, even if the two entered the elevator one after another, the superpower user only glanced at her without any vigilance.

The superpower user exited the elevator on the 8th floor, and Ji Ning followed him down. She saw him turn left and stop at door 806, then take out a key to open the door.

When the lock made a soft "click," the superpower user’s eyes suddenly cleared, his body paused, and he turned around sharply.

But Ji Ning was already in front of him, delivering a punch.

The superpower user immediately rolled his eyes and fainted.

Ji Ning supported his body with one hand and pushed the door open.

There were two others inside, but Ji Ning didn’t give them any room to react and had knocked them out.

Ji Ning straightened up, glanced around, entered a bedroom, and saw Chang Ru lying on a single hospital bed, receiving an IV drip.

Her injuries had been treated, but she was as pale as a sheet, and her aura was very weak.

She appeared to be gravely injured.

Ji Ning approached and used a superpower to check her body, discovering minor rib fractures and multiple abrasions—not too serious.

Ji Ning didn’t heal her injuries but returned to the living room and tied up the three men.

A basin of cold water poured over them, waking someone up gradually.

"Let’s hear it, who wants her dead, and why did you rescue her?"

***

As the sun cast its last rays.

The grim cabin finally opened a crack.

Against the light, only a slender figure was seen standing at the door.

Yu Jian felt he might die on the ship, but the female boss did not kill him.

"You..."

"I can cooperate with the person behind you." a deep voice came from the doorway.

Yu Jian couldn’t see the person’s face, and the voice was unfamiliar too.

He secretly raised his alertness, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

"No, you know. So many undercover agents boarded the ship, including strong superpower users. Your boss got scared. So he didn’t mind exposing you, just to kill them all, right?"

Yu Jian felt tense at heart, squinting his eyes at the figure by the door.

"You’re not Ji Hong?"

"..."

No response for a long time from the opposite side.

Yu Jian felt he understood.

A hint of mockery surfaced in his eyes, "You want to replace Huang Liu?"

"Yes. I’ve had enough of being a lackey."

"The Huang Family wouldn’t easily trust an outsider." Yu Jian probed.

Once again the person fell silent.

This time it wasn’t long before a voice filled with restrained viciousness was heard, "If I don’t succeed, I’ll die trying!"

Yu Jian heard this and had a fleeting look in his eyes.

"Untie me first!"
