Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 310 - 305: We’re All Pretending—Who Are You Fooling?

Chapter 310: Chapter 305: We’re All Pretending—Who Are You Fooling?

I don’t know how long I’ve been unconscious.

Joe Lane suddenly sat up, looking around.

His head was drenched with sweat, as if he had just been startled awake from water.

"Sir, you’re finally awake." Charles, with reddened eyes, stepped forward to support Joe Lane’s body, signalling the accompanying doctor to come forward and examine him.

"Where’s Ning? Where is this place?" Joe Lane struggled to get up, but Charles beside him pinned his shoulder down firmly; ordinarily, Charles wouldn’t have the strength to hold him down.

But now his body felt useless, unable to exert much strength.

"Sir, Miss Ning said your body is severely injured and you must rest in bed." Charles raised his voice.

Joe Lane, anxious, seemed to have been pressed with a pause button, stared at Charles blankly, and then a joyful smile emerged on his face, "Old Charles, I didn’t hear wrong, did I? The Ning you mentioned is still here, right?"

Charles, with reddened eyes, gave a smile, releasing his hand and said with a laugh, "Sir, Miss Ning treated you all night and just went to rest."

"Oh, that’s great! Ning is alright. God bless, we’re both still alive..." Joe Lane fiercely hugged the frail old man beside him.

On the other side.

Ji Ning lay straight on the bed, staring at the white ceiling.

The whites of the eyes had turned blood red, and the dark pupils were not as clear as usual, instead emitting a dangerous aura.

This energy surge was more violent than ever before.

The earrings on the earlobes had been completely removed, deeply embedded in the palm, absorbing the energy from her blood.

"The captain said not to let anyone in."

Suddenly, Xiao Shun’s voice came from outside the door.

This was already the fourth wave of visitors he had turned away.

However, Ye Xiangying and Fu Linyang were not people who could be easily stopped.

"Thirty-two, we have urgent matters to discuss with Mr. Ji." Fu Linyang’s face slightly darkened.

But Xiao Shun still wouldn’t allow them to enter, "No, the captain is resting, not seeing anyone."

"Her body might be having problems, and you won’t even let for that?" Ye Xiangying suddenly said.

Xiao Shun immediately became anxious, and seeing he did not refuse, Ye Xiangying sternly said, "After heavy use of superpowers, a Control Ability User will suffer severe physical damage; her suppression ring has already alarmed."

Xiao Shun panicked, just about to make way, when Ji Ning’s voice suddenly rang in the earpiece, "Let them leave."

"Apologies, our captain is resting, not seeing anyone!"

What?

Ye Xiangying couldn’t believe it as he looked at him, seemingly not expecting him to refuse.

"Do you know what you’re saying? You’re delaying her..."

"Get out—"

Suddenly, a cold voice from Ji Ning came from inside the room.

This voice was exceptionally clear, so clear that everyone at the door except Xiao Shun changed expressions.

Ye Xiangying pressed his lips, turned around with a cold face, and left.

A group of people came in a rush, and left disheartened.

Xiao Shun suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Now no one should disturb the captain’s rest.

In the elevator lobby, Ye Xiangying’s expression was still extremely unpleasant, Fu Linyang seeing this, whispered, "From the sound, her body should be fine."

Ye Xiangying, with a cold face, was too lazy to pay attention to him.

All are tacitly understood, why pretend to be a good person?

***

The passenger ship arrived at Jin City port in the evening.

Joe Lane, as an important guest from California, was sent to the best international hotel in Jin City, waiting for the day after next to depart from Jin City to Anhe City for the event.

And major officials of the Huazhou Alliance would also meet Joe Lane and other diplomatic officials at the international hotel.

Ye Xiangying was originally worried about Joe Lane’s health, but upon seeing Ji Ning and Joe Lane coming out of the room together, a dark light quickly flashed in his eyes.

Ji Ning wore a bodyguard uniform, with a mask on her face, acted as usual, showing no signs of injury.

Could it be that she truly possesses powers that surpass the limits of human beings as rumored?

"Mr. Lane, are you feeling better?" Fu Linyang approached, politely asking him.

Joe Lane smiled, "Thank you for your concern, I am much better. The doctors in Hua are excellent." As he spoke, he glanced at Ji Ning, indirectly telling outsiders the reason Ji Ning came out of his room.

Ye Xiangying and Fu Linyang immediately recalled that Ji Ning was also a Healing Ability User.

They smiled and engaged in polite conversation.

Everyone disembarked in an orderly manner.

At this moment, a row of black sedans had already stopped outside the port, with two High-level Superpower Users standing outside each car.

Ji Ning and Xiao Shun, as accompanying bodyguards, could now hand over to the bodyguards who came to pick them up.

However, due to the terrorist attack on the ship, the two, as detectives of the Security Department, still needed to report back to Beijing immediately.

They were accompanied by members of the Blue Team.

From Jin City to Beijing, it takes more than 2 hours by car.

The captain of the Blue Team escorted them to the Security Department before leaving.

Xiao Shun sighed, "Captain, I find Blue Team members are easier to get along with than the Gold Team."

Ji Ning glanced at him, saying lightly, "The Blue Team is not close to the Security Bureau."

"True, I heard the Blue Team captain is neutral." Xiao Shun chuckled naively, then looked at the brightly lit building beside them and wanted to sigh, but saw his captain already walking into the building and quickly put away his smile, following her.

This was his first time at the department, feeling a little excited but having to suppress his emotions, trying to appear extremely steady.

The clock on the wall showed 21:50, but there were still many people working in the offices on either side of the stairs.

Following the notification, Ji Ning came to the large meeting room on the third floor.

As she pushed open the door, Xiao Shun nearly went weak at the knees.

The meeting room was filled with seven people, a glance revealed all major leaders of the department.

Li Wenxin sat at the head, with Fu Lihai and several other leaders sitting below, with no expressions on their faces, appearing very serious.

Xiao Shun now even breathed much lighter, obediently following Ji Ning like a quail.

Once Ji Ning entered, she casually pulled out the closest chair, and sat down, Xiao Shun quickly took the seat next to her, seeing her remove her mask, he also quickly took off his mask.

Li Wenxin and Fu Lihai glanced at Ji Ning’s face, seeing aside from a pale, bloodless complexion, she showed no other abnormalities, they could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Are you alright physically?" Li Wenxin asked first.

Ji Ning coughed twice lightly, "Still okay."

Li Wenxin asked again, "Did the person die?"

"Yes."

"How did they die?"

"They exploded."

"Where’s the body?"

"I don’t know."

The meeting room fell into an eerie silence because of Ji Ning’s words.

After a long time, Li Wenxin’s voice was heard, "What did you discuss alone? Why did she suddenly attack the passenger ship?"

At this moment, Xiao Shun didn’t dare to even breathe heavily, nervously looking at Ji Ning, but she remained calm, as if unrelated to the matter.

Ji Ning suddenly chuckled, looking straight into Li Wenxin’s eyes, "Are you sure you want me to say it here?"

Li Wenxin’s body paused slightly, scanning everyone present, and answered in a deep voice, "Say it..."
