Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 282 - 277: The Gu Family’s Ambition Is Not Small

Chapter 282: Chapter 277: The Gu Family’s Ambition Is Not Small

Yu Jian’s character should not be underestimated.

Being able to act as an insider in the police station and even mix in with high-level personnel indicates that he is a ruthless person who can remain calm.

Huang Ying has always been cautious and stood still at the door.

Yu Jian saw his hesitation, and a mocking expression appeared in his eyes, "What? You dare to meet the person behind me, but don’t dare to untie me?"

Huang Ying remained unaffected and calmly replied, "You will kill me."

Yu Jian was taken aback, then began to scrutinize the silhouette at the door, medium height, somewhat thin. Although the face was unclear, from his actions, this person seemed quite calculating and emotionally stable.

He might be someone who could be worked with, but it’s uncertain if his identity is real?

Yu Jian’s thoughts churned rapidly; he wasn’t nervous about his thoughts being exposed. Instead, he began to have some ideas about Huang Ying.

After a moment of silence, he spoke in a casual tone, "Rest assured, I won’t kill you. My identity is exposed now, and I need a partner to continue the mission..."

He paused, waiting for Huang Ying to ask questions, but after waiting for a long time and seeing no response, he looked at him puzzled, "Aren’t you curious?"

"Curiosity killed the cat. I only have one life, and I don’t want to die too quickly."

This time it was Yu Jian who fell silent.

After a while, Yu Jian asked, "If you don’t do something, how can you catch the attention of the person behind me?"

"You just need to take me to meet him."

Yu Jian stared blankly at the black shadow, anger bubbling up in him, yet from what he learned, he knew he could help him meet the person behind.

Suppressing his displeasure, Yu Jian probed, "I’m now a prisoner, how can I meet him?"

"I will get you safely to the West Continent."

As expected...

Yu Jian’s heart stirred, "In that case, we have a preliminary cooperation. Untie me, this rope is too tight."

But the person at the door shook his head, "No, someone will bring you food; untying you would not be conducive to my cover."

Yu Jian felt like swearing.

"So being tied up like this, if someone wants to hurt me, wouldn’t it be easy for them?"

"No. I will keep an eye on everyone who comes in."

Yu Jian was exasperated but had no choice.

He only wished to quickly get to the West Continent, then feed this person to the fishes!

Seeing that Yu Jian had lost some of his wariness, Huang Ying opened the bag in his hand, releasing the aroma of meat buns.

"Your dinner." She slowly walked in, opening the bag, holding the bag’s paper, and offering the meat bun to Yu Jian’s mouth.

"There’s no one now, untie me, let me eat first, then tie me up again, can’t you?" Yu Jian’s stomach growled, but he wanted to give it another try.

However, Huang Ying still shook his head, "You will kill me."

"I swear, I won’t lay a hand on you. Is that not enough?"

Yet Huang Ying remained unmoved, holding the bun to his mouth, where he could bite it as long as he opened his mouth.

Finally, Yu Jian succumbed to the bun’s aroma and rather humiliatingly finished it.

Huang Ying handed him a cup of water with a straw in it.

Yu Jian was infuriated.

"I’m leaving. No one will disturb you tonight." After leaving these words, Huang Ying rudely locked the warehouse door.

She could feel how many times Yu Jian’s daggers-stare pierced her that night.

But this was just the beginning. Ji Ning said when dealing with someone like him, who is internally trained and has a composed character, you can only use such small, slicing tactics to put him at ease and get him to talk.

Huang Ying looked at the now-empty paper bag, feeling rather pleased, and quickly changed her appearance.

This appearance was exactly that of Big Head, who had recently shown up in front of Ji Hong.

And the real Big Head was currently drugged unconscious inside the room.

Now she was playing three roles herself, and she was busy indeed.

On the other side.

Ji Ning had already pried out of the three people’s mouths who their mastermind was.

Only this person was somewhat special—it turned out to be the Gu Family.

And the Gu Family was quite interesting, their contact with the Sun Family was Chang Ru.

Because Chang Ru inexplicably disappeared at the dock, Sun Yazhu immediately sent people to search, even called the police, which also alerted the Gu Family.

Because they had cooperation with the Huang Family, it was easy for them to find Huang Liu’s ship.

So they sent people to wait at Huang Liu’s next docking site.

While tracking Chang Ru, they saw her involved in a car accident, sent someone to the hospital to rescue Chang Ru, and secretly transferred her, planning to bring her back to the Gu Family once she recovered.

Ji Ning tapped her arm, gazing out the window at the sky where the moon had risen.

The food festival case, she had always believed the mastermind behind the poisoning of everyone and the mastermind behind the killing of Huang Laosan were from the same force, and with the mysterious force in Beijing, she always thought these were connected.

But isn’t it possible that the mysterious force in Beijing and the mastermind behind the food festival are not the same force?

Could the two have just cooperated, or perhaps just coincidentally met each other?

No, it shouldn’t be a coincidence...

Indeed, the old mansions of several forces in Beijing have been ransacked, including the Gu Family.

Because the Gu Family people have been abroad for years, only old people stayed in the old mansion.

Typically, Gu Shuangcheng would return with his brother to visit the elders, but during the food festival week, he represented the Gu Family to Sea City, leaving only the elders in the old mansion.

Thus allowing the mysterious force to exploit this opportunity.

But it cannot be excluded that the Gu Family lied.

From how accurately they found Chang Ru and secretly took her out of the hospital, it can be seen that the Gu Family has planted a lot of people in the Hua Continent.

It seems the Gu Family is not as indifferent to power as rumored.

The Gu Family’s ambition is considerable...

Ji Ning’s face revealed a cold smile.

She pressed the communicator, speaking coldly, "Huang Laoer, if you don’t want the Huang Family to die quickly, stop playing games with me!"

This made Mr. Huang’s heart tremble, hurriedly calling her "ancestor," "How could that be? I really didn’t expect Huang Liu to have other intentions. Lao San just died, and he’s already restless..."

"Huang Laoer, I’ll only act as your knife once more. If you play games with me again, I’ll let you know the consequences of angering me."

Mr. Huang’s body shivered, scalp tightening, "How could it be..."

"What’s the relationship between your Huang Family and the Gu Family in Beijing?"

Mr. Huang’s gradually stooped body straightened slightly.

His eyeballs moved slightly, intuition telling there’s something in these words.

He replied honestly, "The Gu Family is our major client; we are in a cooperative relationship. You know the Gu Family trades with all continents, and we happen to do the shipping, so we take Gu Family’s orders."

"Then the relationship is relatively close?"

"Not really, just a cooperative one."

Mr. Huang recalled dealings with the Gu Family.

The Huang Family initially thought cooperating with Gu Family would strengthen ties, but Gu Family members were hard to deal with; beyond business, they talked of nothing else, not even attending Huang Family’s banquets, as if the Huang Family was beneath them to approach the Gu Family.

For this, Lao San always cursed Gu Family for their false high-mindedness, looking down on people.

Could Lao San’s death have anything to do with the Gu Family?

Why else would that female demon suddenly inquire about the Gu Family?

Mr. Huang felt his hand holding the phone grow slightly cold.

"Detective Ji, was my brother’s death the Gu Family’s doing?"
