Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 304 - 299: I Am the Real Ji Ning!

Xiao Shun, not far away, suddenly felt that his team leader’s face looked even worse than before.

Those almond-shaped eyes were devoid of any emotion, always giving the impression she wanted to strangle someone, making him too terrified to approach.

This group of people really have no limits...

Xiao Shun sighed silently in his heart.

***

Nightfall came, and the moon was bright with few stars.

The seaside was rarely without a cloud in sight, and the bright moonlight illuminated the ships at the harbor clearly.

Ji Hong made an excuse to go to the restroom, carefully leaving the room, and those watching her from the shadows quietly followed.

Ji Hong twisted and turned, avoiding the numerous hotel cameras, and cautiously arrived at the hotel kitchen.

Although it was brightly lit here, there was no one around. It was obvious that the place had been cleared.

Ji Hong looked back, seeing no tail, slightly raised her head, and said, "I’m here, come out."

The voice wasn’t loud, but in the empty kitchen, it sounded rather loud.

Ji Hong waited a while, but no one appeared, a flash of anger at being played flashed in her eyes, and she said coldly, "Since you won’t show up, then don’t contact me in the future!"

Having said that, she turned around without hesitation, ready to leave.

"In such a hurry?"

Finally, there was movement behind her, and a specially altered voice sounded from behind, "I just went to deal with the tail following you."

Ji Hong was startled, but her expression quickly returned to normal. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

She knew Joe Lane and Charles did not trust her, so it was normal for them to send someone to watch her.

Ji Hong turned around, seeing a mysterious figure wearing a rabbit mask appear silently in the room.

Silently, as if a dead person.

Ji Hong frowned slightly, with a sense of vigilance rising in her heart.

This person is either skilled at concealment or has unfathomable strength.

The mysterious figure wearing the rabbit mask, cloaked in black from head to toe, with white gloves on hands, those eyes, through the mask, emitted a chilling light that made one extremely uncomfortable.

Ji Hong had an urge to gouge out those eyes.

Her tone also contained a hint of impatience, "What’s the matter? I’ve already stayed by Joe Lane’s side as you requested. Our deal ends here."

The more Ji Hong got to know Joe Lane, she realized that even if she drugged him, she would eventually be caught by his people, with no chance to escape.

So, what they said about her being in no danger was all just hollow talk.

She thought long and hard, finally understanding their intentions.

Since it’s a mutual transaction, it should have fairness, but these people showed no sincerity.

So, they shouldn’t blame her for breaking the agreement.

Thinking this, a crystalline drop of water slowly emerged from Ji Hong’s fingertip.

The mysterious person opposite seemed to have long anticipated this situation, with a hoarse and unfamiliar voice: "Don’t you want to know about your own heritage?"

"Oh? I’m just an orphan girl from a small fishing village, what heritage could I possibly have?" Ji Hong’s expression remained unchanged, with a hint of disdain in her tone.

Only the small droplet at her fingertip suddenly hit the ground.

"Don’t you want to know why you suddenly became Ji Hong?"

Ji Hong’s pupils contracted, and in an instant, a droplet reemerged from her fingertips, shooting towards the mysterious person like a sharp sword.

The droplet, seemingly all-encompassing and frail to the point of having no attack power, now contained energy erupting like a bullet. If hit, it would mean eternal farewell.

The murder weapon couldn’t even be found.

The mysterious person had clearly been wary of Ji Hong making a sudden move and narrowly dodged the droplet’s attack by sidestepping.

"Clang, clang, clang—"

The sound of collision echoed behind the mysterious person.

The mysterious person, with lingering fear, immediately stopped Ji Hong from attacking again, "I mean no harm, I am waiting for your return! Commander!"

With that, the mysterious person knelt on one knee, paying a heavy salute to Ji Hong.

Ji Hong’s action halted, with an incredulous look in her eyes, the droplet at her fingertip fell to the ground again, soaking into the carpet’s fibers.

"You..."

"Sorry, Commander, we need to confirm your identity before we can recognize you!" The mysterious person lowered their head slightly, becoming very devout in attitude.

Various complex emotions gradually surfaced in Ji Hong’s eyes, just about to say something when a round of applause sounded from behind.

Very suddenly.

"Clap, clap, clap..."

The two tensed up instantly, with the mysterious person even attempting to rise and leave, only to be suppressed by an unknown force.

"Commander, I’ll cover you, go quickly..."

"The performance is quite good!" The speaker’s voice interrupted.

Ji Ning walked into the kitchen slowly, clapping.

Ji Hong immediately recognized Ji Ning’s voice, squeezing out a hateful voice from her teeth, "You finally showed yourself."

Ji Ning removed the mask from her face, revealing her original appearance, shocking the mysterious person as their pupils dilated.

He struggled to move, with veins bulging on his neck, and sweat dripping heavily from his forehead.

Ji Ning seemingly nonchalantly walked to the kitchen’s food storage refrigerator, opened it, took out an apple, and rinsed it under the faucet...

"Who are you?" Ji Hong lost her patience and shouted angrily.

If she could fight this person, the woman in front of her would have already been pierced by her droplets.

Ji Ning glanced at her, a slight smile on her lips, "Haven’t you already figured that out?"

"Security Bureau A-level detective, High-level superpower user, so? I don’t believe you’re just an A-level detective..." Ji Hong gritted her teeth.

The four superpower users had never revealed much information about Ji Ning to Ji Hong, which made her quite surprised.

Ji Ning turned off the faucet, turned around, and chuckled, "I am Ji Ning."

Her beautiful almond eyes curved into an attractive arc, then her mouth opened wide, and she took a "crunch" bite of the apple.

At the sound of that name, Ji Hong’s mind momentarily blanked, her eyes nearly overflowing with shock, and she reflexively murmured, "Impossible, you’re not..."

She stopped herself as if realizing something, surveying Ji Ning up and down.

Until she saw the silver earring on her earlobe.

It was as if she’d been struck by lightning, unable to recover for a long time.

Ji Ning, munching on the apple, glanced at the mysterious person half-kneeling beside Ji Hong.

The skin beneath his mask had already turned purplish-red.

Using a casual swipe, Ji Ning split the mask on the mysterious person’s face in half, dropping it to the ground.

A very unfamiliar face.

With a brief glance, Ji Ning averted her gaze.

"I’m not what?" With great interest, Ji Hong continued to munch on her apple as she asked.

But Ji Hong’s face lost all color, her entire being on the edge of chaos and loss of control, as if what had been said was unfathomable to her.

Only the sound of Ji Ning munching on the apple filled the room.

Ji Ning never wasted food, even now with plenty available, she would devour the apple till only a few seeds remained, then carefully keep the seeds in her space.

During tumultuous times, resources were too scarce; what if someday she ended up back there?

After wiping her hands, she spoke again, "Were you going to say, I’m not Ji Ning, you are?"

Ji Hong suddenly looked up, her scattered spirit gathering swiftly, her gaze at Ji Ning sharp, "Who are you? What do you know?"

But Ji Ning’s next sentence almost caused the mysterious person on the ground to depart on the spot.

"Your memory is faulty, I am the real Ji Ning!"
