Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 444 - 439: Beijing Training Camp (Part 17)

Chapter 444: Chapter 439: Beijing Training Camp (Part 17)

Liu Yan is the boss of the Beijing Security Bureau, usually very low-key, making people forget that he is also a high-level Spiritual Ability User, one who is most skilled in interrogation.

Xiao Kong and Xiao Shun exchanged a glance, unwilling in their hearts, but showed no sign on their faces, immediately leaving the interrogation room to let Liu Yan in.

Though they are members of Ji Ning’s group, their personnel relations are still with the Beijing Security Bureau, and their nominal superior remains Liu Yan.

The two stood honestly outside the interrogation room, watching the situation through the glass, and quietly sent a message to Ji Ning through the communicator.

Soon, there was a three-word reply from that side.

[Ignore it]

The endless long night had just begun; for some, it was a night of good sleep, but for others, it was a moment of life and death.

The enormous gears turned once more, and the column in the center played a well-known nursery rhyme.

"Ding-dong, I have a secret to tell you quietly..."

As the nursery rhyme ended, a silver needle shot rapidly towards seat number 2.

The figure on the seat instantly collapsed to the ground.

Then, two people dressed in black robes and masks came in and dragged the body away.

However, this time, seat number 2 did not have a newcomer to fill in.

Upon closer inspection, there were three other seats similarly vacant in the darkness.

A mechanical voice sounded from the central column: "Mission 2 failed, number 3 becomes the Temporary Leader."

Immediately, the chair representing number 3 lit up, and the masked person sitting there suddenly opened their eyes, the grey pupils lighting up instantly.

A deep middle-aged man’s voice emerged from his mouth: "Now we can confirm that the Commander and we are not on the same side. She is more inclined towards the Huazhou Alliance; we cannot pledge allegiance to her at the moment. The urgent task is to quickly find suitable bodies so that we won’t be short on people. My suggestion is to take those bodies away at all costs after the Huazhou High School student competition ends. In other continents, rapidly promote the Immortal People 2.0 plan. The more people there are, the more cautious the Huazhou Alliance will be with us, and they won’t dare to act rashly."

His voice seemed exceptionally spacious in the quiet environment. After speaking, he didn’t wait for others to respond and closed his eyes, remaining motionless.

It was unclear how much time had passed when a sigh seemed to come from seat number 5, "We’ve lost another old friend; who knows when we will meet again."

The longest second-hand continued ticking, the "tic-toc-toc" sound appearing rhythmic in the dimly lit space.

On the enormous round table, only seat number 3 was illuminated, and the masked person on it had fallen asleep.

His face hidden under the mask, hands clasped at the nose, elbows resting on the tabletop, just like a gambler pondering the next move.

Opposite him was a clock hand with a metallic luster, its sharp point like a blade ready to pierce his throat, waiting until the end of life.

The case was in a stalemate; Liu Yan lived up to expectations and finally pried open the mouth of the Green Group member.

The names spoken were shocking.

It wasn’t a single person’s order, but many forces and families were involved.

Some of the children from several families were in the training camp.

The personnel involved in the case were too extensive; many still held important positions in the Alliance’s various departments. Counting carefully, nearly twenty percent were involved.

To stop the competition from continuing, they prepared many backup plans. If it weren’t for Ji Ning’s vigilance, capturing a string of people, not only would the Cao Family be in trouble, but more regions’ families’ children would also face danger.

At that time, the competition couldn’t proceed, and Ji Ning’s proposal would die without a result.

They just wanted to divide ordinary people and superpower users to maintain their interests.

Looking at the list Liu Yan provided, Ji Ning maintained a neutral face, while Li Wenxin seemed troubled, pinching his brows.

"If you keep investigating, our situations will become dangerous. This isn’t like before; even us three families can’t suppress so many forces attacking at once. If it’s infeasible, just let it go..."

Li Wenxin sincerely suggested; he knew the calculations behind these forces too well. Even knowing Ji Ning’s strength, if you dare touch their profit, they will covertly destroy you, leaving you unable to find out who did it.

After all, there is only one mighty elephant, but there are thousands of ants wanting to share the feast.

But Ji Ning was not an elephant; she was the Ant Exterminator.

"Give me the detailed information on these people."

Li Wenxin looked cautious, "What do you want to do? This is not the barbaric times anymore."

Ji Ning chuckled lightly, "Do you think I want to visit each one personally?"

"Otherwise?"

"No powerholder’s hands are entirely clean. If they dare to play dirty tricks behind the scenes, then don’t blame me for tearing off their facade and letting the whole Huazhou see."

Li Wenxin disagreed, frowning, "Doing this will completely offend them. If there are Ji Family Army forces among them, it won’t be conducive to your reclaiming the entire Ji Family Army."

But Ji Ning didn’t care, "If it can’t be reclaimed, then destroy it completely."

"You..." Li Wenxin was startled, truly seeing Ji Ning’s intention to destroy the vast Ji Family Army force in her eyes.

Does she have no interest in her support force at all?

"Give me the information, and tomorrow we’ll catch a chicken."

***

The next morning.

Preparing to go out to grab some water, Bai Xiaotang suddenly heard the vibration from her Smart Brain.

Picking it up to look.

[Bai Xiaotang, please arrive at Training Camp Office Building A, sixth floor, room 605, at 9:00 this morning.]

The students from Anhe Middle School who received the same message included Lin Yuanyang and Wu Muzhe.

Wu Muzhe was puzzled, looking up at Lin Yuanyang, "Do you know what’s going on?"

Last night he saw Lin Yuanyang end his mini training early and return to the rest area, not returning to the dorm before lights out.

Lin Yuanyang, already dressed, did not disclose in advance, "You’ll know when we get there."

When the two arrived at room 605, there were already many students seated inside.

Sitting in the corner, Bai Xiaotang’s eyes lit up, waving them over, "Come and sit here."

This time, the training involved twelve schools, and apart from Anhe Middle School, most Elite Class students from each school had unusual family backgrounds.

Scanning the room, Lin Yuanyang indeed found it full of hidden talents; if he hadn’t done background checks the night before, he wouldn’t have known some were actually children of Huazhou Alliance members.

Gu Sili and Cao Zongming came in surprised, scanned the room but did not find classmates, directly sitting next to Lin Yuanyang.

"What’s going on?" Gu Sili asked softly.

Lin Yuanyang glanced at him, "Didn’t your brother tell you?"

Gu Sili wanted to roll his eyes; his brother wasn’t a full-time information gatherer.

"Thank Sister Ning for me yesterday."

Lin Yuanyang looked at the still somewhat confused Cao Zongming and said flatly, "She will come over later; you can thank her yourself."

Gu Sili was surprised, "Is this related to yesterday?"

Smart people don’t need everything explained; just a few words can reveal the truth.

Lin Yuanyang pressed his lips, "Whatever you hear later, don’t get agitated."

Gu Sili: ...
