Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 355 - 350: Are You Teaching Me How to Do My Job?

Chapter 355: Chapter 350: Are You Teaching Me How to Do My Job?

On the other side of the bed curtain was another hospital bed.

A man who looked sickly was lying on the bed.

Upon seeing them, he gave a somewhat awkward smile.

"Xiao Tong, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop... I just woke up..."

Liu Bin looked embarrassed, raised his hand to scratch the side of his face, revealing his left hand with an IV needle.

Ye Tong looked at the medicine bag, which still had a third of the liquid left.

It was apparent that he had been there for a while.

She suddenly remembered Liu Bin asking for leave in the group this morning.

She didn’t expect him to actually be sick.

She asked with concern, "Mr. Liu, are you feeling better? Do you need a ride to the hospital?"

Ye Tong stood up, wanting to go over to Liu Bin’s bed to check on him, but she was grabbed by the arm by Huang Ying.

Hmm?

Huang Ying’s face was serious, and his gaze was emotionlessly fixed on Liu Bin.

Ye Tong was taken aback, then turned to look at the weak-looking Liu Bin, and a thread of wariness rose in her heart.

What’s up with Instructor Huang?

Why is he looking at Mr. Liu like that?

Is there something wrong with him?

Ye Tong suspiciously took half a step back.

The first rule of survival: when out and about, always trust Sister Ning, trust Lin Yuanyang if Sister Ning is not around, listen to Instructor Huang if Lin Yuanyang is not around, and if Instructor Huang is also absent, be cautious and don’t trust any strangers.

Liu Bin noticed this, and his hand hidden under the blanket tightened suddenly.

Who is this person?

Why do they seem both familiar and dangerous?

Liu Bin forced a weak smile, his gaze filled with gentleness as it moved to Ye Tong, as if he hadn’t noticed Huang Ying’s vigilance.

"Much better now, the fever is gone."

"That’s good, make sure to get plenty of rest." Ye Tong sat back down beside Huang Ying’s bed, politely giving a few words of advice.

The medical room in the guesthouse wasn’t large, small enough to hold three beds, Liu Bin’s bed was the furthest in, and other than them, there were no other patients or doctors inside.

Ye Tong didn’t speak, and an awkward silence filled the air.

Liu Bin spoke again, breaking the silence: "Xiao Tong, what happened outside? Why are you injured?"

Before Ye Tong could respond, Huang Ying’s cold voice suddenly sounded.

"With such a big commotion outside, didn’t Mr. Liu hear anything?"

Liu Bin’s expression was slightly reserved, his gaze shifting from Ye Tong to Huang Ying, still maintaining a good-natured tone: "I was sleeping all morning, didn’t hear any commotion outside."

"Is that so?"

"Of course..." Liu Bin frowned slightly, his gaze now carrying a hint of hostility.

The atmosphere between the two grew increasingly tense, until the door of the medical room was suddenly pushed open.

A woman in a white coat walked in, with Feng Lei following behind her.

"Where’s the patient? Let me check the wound."

"Here, left arm, hit by a bullet, lost a lot of blood..." Ye Tong quickly stood up.

Huang Ying looked at her with a slightly helpless expression.

As a superpower user, especially a support ability user, her body’s resilience had long reached SS-level. A mere bullet graze, even a bullet wound, would take her only a fraction of the time to heal compared to an ordinary person. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

The female doctor checked the wound, then lowered her head to open the medical kit she had brought, "The wound’s not big, I’ll stitch it up. You guys wait outside!"

Feng Lei’s eyes lit up, and he turned to Ye Tong, "I need to talk to you."

Ye Tong was somewhat reluctant, dawdling.

She had just managed to calm the rumors, and truly didn’t want to be seen too close with Feng Lei.

"Wha... what is it?"

"Let’s talk outside."

Feng Lei turned to leave, and saw Liu Bin lying not far away, his brow furrowing instantaneously.

"You... are sick?"

Liu Bin’s face didn’t look much better, he lifted an arm slightly, polite yet distant, "President Feng."

"Take care and get well." Feng Lei nodded slightly at him, then turned back to Ye Tong, "Let’s go."

Ye Tong looked unwilling, when Liu Bin suddenly spoke up: "President Feng, your trending topic was just suppressed, try not to be alone together again. This could negatively impact Xiao Tong."

Feng Lei’s steps suddenly halted, he turned around, his gaze cold and severe.

"Are you giving me advice?"

"I wouldn’t dare. Just a reminder, Director Lin dislikes it when the actresses in the crew have rumors during filming. Cough cough..."

Liu Bin’s tone was somewhat submissive, but his gaze showed no sign of retreat, which made Feng Lei quite displeased.

Especially in Liu Bin’s eyes, he could see a man’s desire and ambition towards a woman.

"Hmph..." Feng Lei snorted coldly and strode towards the door.

***

The infirmary was located in the most secluded part of the guesthouse’s first floor, the corridor was quite deserted at this hour.

Feng Lei watched as Ye Tong hurriedly put on sunglasses and a mask, looking furtively down the corridor like a thief, feeling a slight constriction in his chest, "So averse to trending with me?"

Ye Tong rolled her eyes behind the sunglasses, walking several paces away towards the corridor’s corner, ensuring there were five or six steps between them, and not easily spotted.

"Director Lin says actors should protect themselves when outside, and not be on unfounded trending topics."

"Sorry, I caused you trouble this time."

Feng Lei was much taller than Ye Tong, yet he bowed his head, eyes full of affection, his voice not as harsh as when he spoke to Liu Bin earlier.

Ye Tong was taken aback, staring in amazement as their eyes met.

Feng Lei had very attractive eyes, with eyelashes long and curved, a black beauty mark set just right at the corner of his eye, adding a touch of deep affection.

People in the entertainment industry had once described Feng Lei, born with eyes full of passion, a few more seconds of looking would snare a woman’s soul.

Ye Tong hurriedly averted her gaze, suddenly feeling a hot flush in her chest, "You know it’s trouble, don’t you? Please trouble President Feng to keep some distance from me in the future."

Feng Lei’s gaze darkened slightly, pursed lips remaining silent.

Ye Tong slightly raised her head to steal a glance.

She saw Feng Lei with tightly pressed lips, a certain unsettling emotion in his gaze.

"President Feng, what did you want to see me about?" Ye Tong suppressed her heart’s sudden flutter induced by him, forcefully changing the subject.

Feng Lei gathered his composure, "Young Master Lin wants me to take you and Feng Yu to the Jiuming Mountain Base."

"Alright."

Ye Tong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

***

Jiuming Mountain Base.

In a certain secret interrogation room, a captured 10th Rank superpower user, drenched in sweat, hung his head, seated on a specially designed chair.

Opposite him sat two superpower users in charge of the interrogation.

They were members of the Huazhou Alliance Special Ability Team’s Black Group, all high-level superpower users trained by the base.

This time their main duty was to protect Fu Ninghao, but now they were temporarily sent to interrogate the 10th Rank superpower user who had intruded the cemetery.

"Are you ready to talk! What were you doing at the cemetery? Who’s behind it?"

But the 10th Rank superpower user across from them remained unresponsive, as if he were asleep.

The special helmet on his head lit up green again.

The sound of agony gradually arose...

The 10th Rank superpower user, head hanging, his pale skin bulging with veins, each blood vessel was like a writhing snake moving inside the skin, as if bursting through the skin’s restraint.

"If you talk now, you can suffer less." The cold voice emerged amid low growls, the volume small but piercing like a sword through the ears.

The 10th Rank superpower user’s body stiffened, dark red blood began trickling from his ears, the edges of his earlobes trembled as if touched by the wind.
