Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 327 - 322: Her Brain’s Been Soaked in Seawater

Chapter 327: Chapter 322: Her Brain’s Been Soaked in Seawater

Ji Ning was observing Gu Yihan, while he was observing her.

He had heard Ji Ning’s name countless times from his grandfather, brother, and partners.

He was very curious about her and extremely eager to meet Ji Ning.

This time, he attended the 120th anniversary celebration because he heard Ji Ning was assigned here for security duties, so he postponed his Outer Continent affairs and came over specially.

Upon meeting her now, to be honest, he was a bit surprised.

Initially, he thought Ji Ning was someone with immense strength, appearing distant and difficult to approach, but now it seemed she was just a short, slim girl, seemingly no different from a normal girl, maybe even a bit unremarkable.

If it weren’t for a specific introduction, he felt he might have overlooked her.

Yet this very girl managed to scare off half the Sun Family’s superpower team single-handedly.

Gu Yihan recalled his brother Gu Shuangcheng’s serious warning not to underestimate her, and considering Ji Ning’s deceptive appearance, his vigilance started to arise.

Had those people been fooled by Ji Ning’s appearance all along?

Ji Ning saw through his thoughts from his changing breaths, then glanced at the scheming Gu Shuangcheng and the simple yet clever Gu Sili.

A hint of a smile curled on her lips.

Li Zhan’s descendants were indeed noteworthy.

"Hello." Ji Ning extended her hand, lightly shaking Gu Yihan’s right hand.

Gu Yihan suddenly shivered, feeling that Ji Ning’s gaze on him carried a trace of an ancestor’s look towards descendants.

With the Gu Family accompanying them, the group chatted as they headed to the stands, entering with their tickets.

Bai Yusen gave five VIP tickets, which Bai Xiaotang handed out to Ji Ning, Ye Tong, Lin Yuanyang, Huang Ying, and You Le.

Originally, there was no ticket for You Le, but since Bai Xiaotang was chosen to perform as part of a team, she could enter the inner area without a ticket, so she generously gave her ticket to You Le and graciously covered the ordinary tickets for Class 8 students for the seven days.

Due to the 120th anniversary celebration, Anhe School granted a week-long holiday, which thrilled the students.

Many Class 8 students, under Bai Xiaotang’s influence, became the number one fans of "Ji Ning," members of the Ai Ning Team.

This time, quite a few students from Class 8 planned to come play in the afternoon.

"Sister Ning, You Le has already arrived." Ye Tong pointed at a girl seated not far away.

Due to Bai Xiaotang’s connections, she also knew You Le, although not very well.

At this moment, You Le was sitting next to Bai Xiaotang’s brother, Bai Yusen, along with members of the Bai Family.

These seats were allocated for people from the major families within the Inner City of Beijing, each family having 20 slots. However, no family would truly bring 20 people, hence these seats were quite empty.

Bai Yusen brought quite a few Bai Family members.

"You guys head over first." Ji Ning softly said, and after Ye Tong and Lin Yuanyang left, she started walking in another direction.

Gu Yihan glanced at Ji Ning, then at Bai Yusen, eager to know their true relationship.

Although the information suggested Ji Ning’s connection with the Bai Family was due to Bai Xiaotang, he didn’t believe that the Bai Family’s useless young lady could draw in a strong individual like Ji Ning.

Surely Ji Ning and the Bai Family had other undisclosed ties.

As long as he uncovers them, why worry about not drawing Ji Ning in?

Gu Yihan pondered for a while before walking towards where Bai Yusen was sitting.

Meanwhile, Ji Ning headed towards the area where the Huang Family was seated, a total of 12 people gathered around Mr. Huang.

Their position was at the edge of the stands, farthest from the main stage.

As Ji Ning arrived, Mr. Huang, drinking the bottled water provided at the event, suddenly choked upon seeing her, his face showing a guilty smile full of apprehension, "Cough, cough, cough... Miss Ji..."

Mr. Huang’s face showed a hint of guilt, but Ji Ning didn’t look at him, instead turning to the masked Ji Hong sitting behind him.

Ji Hong nodded briefly at Ji Ning.

Ji Ning walked past numerous empty seats, sat beside Mr. Huang, and said with a faint smile, "You’re quite bold."

Mr. Huang’s smile slightly stiffened, awkwardly saying, "Miss Ji, this... it’s a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding..." saying this, he turned slightly to look at Ji Hong behind him.

Ji Hong, with a harsh voice, spoke for him, "I wanted to come over."

"For what?"

"To see you... and this hypocritical anniversary."

Mr. Huang turned pale with fright and hurriedly said, "Xiao Hong, what are you talking about? Miss Ji, sometimes she speaks without thinking, please don’t take it seriously." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Ji Ning glanced at him and smiled, "Alright then."

Since exposing Ji Hong’s identity, Ji Ning suspected the sinister intentions of those controlling her, which naturally led to doubts about "Ji Ning’s" cause of death. Therefore, upon being rescued, she contacted Ji Ning immediately, deciding to secretly investigate everything related to the Ji Family Army, vowing to uncover the person behind it.

Ji Ning readily agreed.

Mr. Huang assumed Ji Hong was a fugitive hidden by Ji Ning, holding it against her as leverage to threaten Ji Ning, unaware that Ji Hong was a tri-element high-level superpower user, stronger than any superpower user in the Huang Family’s security team, and instantly sought to draw her in.

To keep Ji Hong in the Huang Family for the long term, he resolved her identity issues and offered her a high salary, with benefits just slightly lower than those of Huang Shen, the Chief of the Huang Family’s security team.

Seeing Ji Ning not upset, Mr. Huang’s smile became somewhat genuine.

After greeting the Huang Family, Ji Ning returned to the Bai Family’s seats.

By this time, Gu Yihan had been skillfully sparring with Bai Yusen, testing each other with no conclusions.

Ye Tong next to them was full of anxiety, only relaxing after Ji Ning returned.

"Sister Ning..." Ye Tong’s eyes lit up, while You Le and Lin Yuanyang, hearing her voice, looked over, and visibly relaxed upon seeing Ji Ning.

Clearly, the topic between Gu Yihan and Bai Yusen was somewhat risky.

Bai Yusen sarcastically said, "Young Master Gu, since Miss Ji is back, whatever it is, you can ask her directly."

Gu Yihan seemed unfazed by the mockery, greeting Ji Ning while shamelessly acting with grace.

"Miss Ji." Gu Yihan called out courteously.

Ji Ning regarded him for a moment, nodded briefly, then moved to Lin Yuanyang’s side, saying softly, "Battery."

Lin Yuanyang immediately pulled out a black box from his backpack, taking out a square battery to hand to Ji Ning.

Ji Ning took out a walkie-talkie from her pocket, replaced the battery, and stuffed it back in her pocket.

Gu Yihan’s eyes slightly moved, glancing at Gu Sili beside him, quietly immersed in playing games, pursing his lips.

After Ji Ning left, he said to Lin Yuanyang, "I heard Young Master Lin joined the Security Bureau’s investigation team?"

Lin Yuanyang adjusted his glasses, looking towards Gu Yihan, "Young Master Gu, whatever you’re planning, Sister Ning is well aware. I advise you not to act rashly, or the Gu Family will become another Sun Family."

Gu Yihan’s expression immediately darkened, while Gu Shuangcheng suddenly interjected, "Young Master Lin, you misunderstand. Big Brother simply greatly admires Miss Ji."

Lin Yuanyang, disinterested in wasting words with the Gu Family, stood up and asked Ye Tong, "Sister Tong, shall we go to the bathroom?"

Ye Tong:...
