Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 321 - 316: Some Special Transactions

Bai Yusen finally put his mind at ease.

He still had considerable faith in Ji Ning’s words.

Xiao Shun next to him listened with a thumping heart.

Collaborate with the Ji Family Army?

Leader, are you serious?

Xiao Shun’s doubts only circled in his mind before they subsided.

Ji Ning glanced at him and continued speaking to Bai Yusen, "The Ji Family Army is mainly divided into two factions internally. Ke Chen is a small leader of one of them, primarily controlling the underground trade in Anhe City. They have quite a few illegal goods, among which are some antiques. Your Bai family mainly deals in jewelry and luxury goods. You can conduct these transactions with them."

"What kind of antiques?" Bai Yusen frowned, not knowing how Ji Ning learned about Bai family’s business affairs.

"For instance, some special transactions."

Ji Ning suddenly pulled out a roughly made wooden crossbow arrow from her pocket, with a somewhat dark brown tip that looked aged.

Xiao Shun was close enough to immediately see the lettering engraved on the arrow tail, and he was so startled that he blurted out, "Leader, this is... this is..."

Bai Yusen was startled by his sudden outburst, then looked at the crossbow arrow in Ji Ning’s hand. Initially, he didn’t notice anything special, but after seeing the engraving on the arrow tail, he instantly stood up.

"Let me see..."

Ji Ning handed over the crossbow arrow, and after Bai Yusen touched the material of the arrow closely, he began to carefully examine it, from the tip to the tail, not missing a single detail. Especially after seeing the engraving on the arrow tail, he looked at Ji Ning with a somewhat fervent gaze, "How did you get Chairman Ji’s relic? Could it be you really are her descendant?"

Bai Yusen had countless times doubted Ji Ning’s identity, but those doubts had been dispelled by some of her actions. However, at this moment, he was genuinely eager to know the answer he held in his heart.

Even Xiao Shun found it hard to sit still now. The shock in his eyes made it difficult for him to calm the excitement in his heart, longing to share it with someone. Therefore, following Bai Yusen’s excitement, he also stood up, staring heatedly at Ji Ning.

"I brought it back from Nanling, your sister has one too." Ji Ning replied lightly.

Bai Yusen was almost too shocked to hold onto the crossbow arrow.

"What do you mean? Tangtang has one too?"

Ji Ning nodded slightly, "There is an Emperor’s Tomb in the Nanling Pollution Zone, which Ye Tong and I retrieved from there."

Ji Ning spoke casually, but the two people in the room were so shocked they didn’t know what to say.

Even Aunt Zeng and the superpower users of the Bai family hiding in the shadows were even more in awe of Ji Ning because of her words.

These superpower users dared not venture into the Pollution Zone easily.

Yet Ji Ning had taken a regular person to the Emperor’s Tomb and returned unscathed?

Then her strength...

Bai Yusen walked back and forth in the room, wearing a certain excitement on his face, "How many did you bring back? Are there more?"

Ji Ning raised her eyebrows slightly, "Naturally, there are."

"Where are they?"

Bai Yusen feared he was too eager, displeasing Ji Ning, so he curbed his emotions and asked again, "I mean, if everything is genuine, trading with the Ji Family Army won’t be difficult."

Ji Ning clearly saw through his thoughts, but she didn’t mind. In the business world, Bai Yusen could be considered a qualified businessman.

"The items are in Anhe."

Bai Yusen thought of his own sister, and his eyes lit up.

"Knock knock knock..."

A series of urgent knocks on the door.

Bai Yusen frowned slightly and opened the door of the study.

Aunt Zeng outside looked a bit tense, "Master of the house, people from the Huazhou Alliance Superpower Team have arrived outside. The lead captain is named Huang Ling." As she said this, she glanced at Ji Ning sitting calmly on the sofa.

That glance carried a hint of worry.

Xiao Shun was startled and turned to look at Ji Ning, but she remained calm, not at all worried about the Yellow Group’s visit.

His heart gradually settled.

Recently, when they were temporarily assigned to the Yellow Group, their leader didn’t show much respect to that captain either.

"They’re probably here for me." Ji Ning said as she stood up.

Bai Yusen, seeing her confidence, asked Aunt Zeng to invite the Yellow Group into the villa.

Everyone gathered in the living room on the first floor of the Bai Family Villa.

Even as the captain of the Yellow Group of the Special Ability Team, Huang Ling felt a little lacking in confidence in front of Ji Ning.

Not to mention, he had been overshadowed by Ji Ning several times on the ship, and later he heard from the Blue Group.

Ji Ning single-handedly threw a high-level superpower user with three abilities into the sea, leaving no bones behind. She also controlled a runaway tsunami, allowing the ship to pass smoothly.

This power, let alone him, even tying the entire Yellow Group together, might not accomplish it.

Therefore, he put away the arrogance unique to superpower users and greeted Ji Ning politely, tactfully informing her about the lost corpse incident at the Beijing Research Institute.

"...We came to ask Detective Ji for help in investigating this case."

In fact, it was Ye Xingming who suspected Ji Ning of stealing the corpse and sent them to question her.

Xiao Shun’s heart twisted in anxiety, but Ji Ning remained calm and even nodded in agreement, "Sure, I’ll have Xiao Shun cooperate with you in the investigation."

Xiao Shun, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, broke out in a cold sweat.

Although he didn’t know what Ji Ning had done when she returned to the Beijing Research Institute, calculating from the time Huang Ling mentioned, it was really possible that Ji Ning was responsible for stealing the corpse.

Now she’s going to help with the investigation?

Isn’t she afraid it won’t be resolved?

Xiao Shun grumbled internally, but his face still carried a polite smile, and he asked Huang Ling, "Captain Huang, have you locked down any suspects on the scene yet?"

Huang Ling intended to use the investigation to look into Ji Ning’s connection to the case, but now he felt like he had shot himself in the foot.

Unwillingly, he asked, "Detective Ji, aren’t you leading the team?"

Ji Ning smiled, "No, I’m heading back to Anhe tomorrow."

Huang Ling immediately thought of the 120th-anniversary celebration the day after tomorrow, his face showing discomfort as if he had swallowed a fly.

As an A-level detective of the Security Department and a native of Anhe City, Ji Ning definitely had to return for security purposes.

Huang Ling led the team to the Bai family with great momentum, but after subtly asking a few questions, they left dejectedly.

Seeing this made Aunt Zeng and the superpower users of the Bai family feel very complicated, but they also became even more in awe of Ji Ning’s power.

The next morning, at dawn.

Bai Yusen took with him his secretary, assistant, and a dozen or so superpower users from the Bai family, following Ji Ning back to Anhe.

The Bai family had their own private jet, making Ji Ning extremely comfortable.

She even napped for over two hours.

After leaving the airport, the personnel Bai Yusen left in Anhe directly led the group to the Ming Mansion Garden.

Due to the 120th-anniversary celebration, most schools in Anhe City were on holiday.

When they returned, Bai Xiaotang and Lin Yuanyang were both at home.

Both looked like they were about to go out. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Sister Ning, you’re finally back! I thought you wouldn’t make it back for the celebration."

Bai Xiaotang excitedly dropped the streamers in her hand and quickly ran to Ji Ning, wrapping her arms around her.

The fact that Bai Xiaotang had grown didn’t stop her from noticing Ji Ning’s subtle change in expression.

While in front of Ji Ning, Bai Yusen, who was all smiles waiting to be close to his sister, his expression slowly cracked: ...

Such a big brother, did you not see him?
