Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 326 - 321: Young Master Lin, I Have Something to Discuss with You
Du Yiming had a sunny appearance, looking harmless to both humans and animals. However, Ji Ning gave a glance at the few superpower users following by his side and knew that his identity wasn’t simple.
Ye Tong recalled Lin Anqing’s instructions, pretending she didn’t hear anything.
Lin Yuanyang saw that both Ji Ning and Ye Tong remained silent, so he turned around to face Du Yiming, "Lin Yuanyang."
Du Yiming was momentarily stunned; he hadn’t really noticed Lin Yuanyang earlier, but upon hearing this, he instantly remembered the rumors in Beijing.
The young master of the Lin Family, Lin Yuanyang, had followed the Bai Family’s daughter to study in the countryside.
Could it possibly be Anhe?
Du Yiming’s eyes slightly widened as he looked up and down at Lin Yuanyang, asking in confusion, "Are you the young master of the Lin Family?"
Lin Yuanyang adjusted his glasses, suppressing his displeasure, and turned away.
He didn’t like the title of the young master of the Lin Family and didn’t like others calling him the young master.
Du Yiming was slightly excited, not because of the Lin Family, but because of Lin Yuanyang as a person.
The young master of the Lin Family had been exceptionally intelligent since childhood, with spiritual power reaching S-Class, recognized as a genius in Beijing. Yet, he was frail and sickly, rarely appearing in public, leading to unfamiliarity with the young masters and misses of the inner city.
As the young master of the Du Family, Du Yiming’s family background wasn’t inferior to the Lin Family, but he loved studying machinery, participating in many robotics competitions during university. Unfortunately, his recent research hit a snag, with some control program codes proving elusive, so he came here to clear his mind and hopefully find some inspiration.
Unexpectedly, he encountered Lin Yuanyang.
His eyes suddenly lit up, like a fox spotting prey, unable to take his eyes off him.
Just as he wanted to step forward and converse further with Lin Yuanyang, a hand pressed down on his shoulder.
The superpower user beside Du Yiming’s face changed slightly, nervously looking at Ji Ning.
"Hmm? What are you doing?"
Du Yiming turned his head, puzzled, to look at Ji Ning, who was a head shorter than him.
This kid wasn’t tall, so how could he have such strength? 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Ji Ning’s expression was calm, "Get in line at the back."
With a slight push of his fingers, Du Yiming stepped back a few steps.
Only then did Du Yiming realize the queue in front had split into two rows, and he needed to line up behind them to enter the square.
Du Yiming reluctantly called out loudly to Lin Yuanyang, "Young Master Lin, I have something to consult with you, please wait for me a moment."
This shout drew the attention of many forces.
Lin Yuanyang paused, wanting very much to roll his eyes.
Is there something wrong with this guy’s head?
Du Yiming didn’t hear Lin Yuanyang’s response, but seeing that their distance wasn’t too far, he slightly relaxed, telling the bodyguards next to him, "Stay sharp for a moment, make sure to follow him closely, and don’t let him get far."
But the bodyguards, however, looked unanimously at Ji Ning in front, whose instincts told them that short young man was very dangerous.
The security for the 120th anniversary celebration was very tight.
There were three layers of security checks, the first being a regular check, mainly inspecting bags and ensuring no weapons were carried.
The second was ticket verification and personal information binding.
The third was a dedicated security check for superpower users, primarily to detect any issues with the suppression rings they wore.
As an ordinary person, Ye Tong naturally didn’t need the third security check and directly walked through another passage with Lin Yuanyang.
Only then did Ye Tong notice that most of the people around her queuing needed the third security check.
Oh my God, so many superpower users?
Ye Tong’s heart raced.
Du Yiming also didn’t need the third security check, and seeing Ji Ning separate from them, he quickly caught up to Lin Yuanyang, his eyes sparkling, "Young Master Lin, I have something to discuss with you."
Lin Yuanyang took a breath, suppressing his irritation, "I’m Lin Yuanyang, not Young Master Lin."
"Isn’t it... oh, okay... Lin Yuanyang."
Under Lin Yuanyang’s displeased gaze, Du Yiming suddenly realized, sheepishly smiling.
Then he looked at Ye Tong, asking, "This must be Miss Bai?"
Ye Tong quickly waved her hands, "No, no, I’m... well... his sister."
Ye Tong calmly pointed at Lin Yuanyang.
"Oh, so it’s Miss Lin. Hello, I’m Du Yiming."
Ye Tong: ...
Lin Yuanyang didn’t like the way he looked at people, speaking coldly, "Don’t block the passage."
Then he turned around and walked ahead at a quick pace.
The security check area was cordoned off with caution tape, allowing only room for one person to walk, and it was not permitted to move backward.
While Du Yiming was speaking, someone had already blocked the way behind.
But the people behind had heard Du Yiming call Lin Yuanyang young master, knowing they couldn’t provoke them, so they quietly waited behind them.
Lin Yuanyang detested relying on Lin Chengsheng’s influence in such an invisible way, growing impatient and quickening his pace.
However, Du Yiming, as if oblivious to his irritation, followed behind him, chattering incessantly, completely lacking social awareness.
Until they passed through the security check and entered the open square.
At this moment, Ji Ning also emerged from the side passage, gradually walking over.
"Young Master Lin... Lin Yuanyang, I’m currently researching a project on autonomous robots, and there’s a piece of running code that’s continually..."
Halfway through his words, he noticed Ji Ning not far away and suddenly stopped, knowingly smiling at her.
Lin Yuanyang let out a breath in relief.
Unwilling to give up, Du Yiming sincerely said, "Lin Yuanyang, after the celebration ends, could you please give me a few minutes to listen to my project? Please..."
Lin Yuanyang wanted to refuse, yet seeing his pleading eyes, he simply replied, "Hmm."
Du Yiming suddenly became happy, wanting to reach out to shake Lin Yuanyang’s hand in gratitude, but awkwardly stopped himself, expressing his gratitude with words.
After Ji Ning and the group finally managed to shake off Du Yiming, they encountered the Gu Family members.
Gu Shuangcheng and Gu Sili, along with an unfamiliar man, stood beside them.
Judging by the age, he seemed to be related to the two.
"Du Yiming is famous for his obsessive research; getting his eye on you is truly unfortunate." Gu Sili said, somewhat schadenfreudely.
His understanding of Du Yiming was because he was Gu Shuangcheng’s junior, and had previously visited the Gu Family, causing trouble for Gu Shuangcheng several times.
Lin Yuanyang frowned slightly, ignoring his words.
Instead, the man next to Gu Sili flicked him on the head, giving a warning.
Gu Shuangcheng smiled, looking at Ji Ning, introducing, "This is my elder brother, Gu Yihan. Brother, this is Ji Ning."
He didn’t mention Ji Ning’s identity as a detective in the Security Department, nor her acquaintance with Bai Xiaotang.
But Gu Yihan was very familiar with Ji Ning.
He stepped forward, extending his right hand with a smile, "Miss Ji, I’ve long admired your name. I finally have the chance to meet you today. Once the celebration ends, please join us for a meal."
Unlike Gu Shuangcheng, Gu Yihan exhibited the maturity and smoothness of someone who had entered society, exuding an air of elite professionalism. He was somewhat similar to Lin Chengsheng, but compared to Lin Chengsheng, a business mogul with over a decade of experience, he was slightly inferior.
He was dressed in a bespoke dark blue suit with some subtle patterns, a white shirt underneath, a matching tie, and wore an extremely expensive-looking watch on his wrist.
Ji Ning took one glance, understanding that this watch had the function of a suppression ring.
This eldest son of the Gu Family was a superpower user.
