Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 467 - 462: Investigation (Part 1)

The second day of the competition, the two events are not as intense as the first day, but they are both brain-intensive projects.

The morning is a detective reasoning competition, and the afternoon is a medical rescue project.

Anhe Middle School didn’t have all 12 people participate this time; in the morning, it was a six-person team led by Lin Yuanyang, and in the afternoon, an eight-person team led by Bai Xiaotang and Wu Muzhe.

Since the projects were in their individual areas of expertise, Ji Ning did not watch and was directly picked up by Xiao Kong’s car.

The two chips obtained in Anshui City had new developments, involving an acquaintance, so Ji Ning had to fly back to Anhe.

After picking up Ji Ning, Xiao Kong immediately reported: "Sister Ning, the plane is ready; we can take off as soon as we arrive."

Ji Ning took the tablet handed over by Xiao Kong, looked down at the video on it, and asked, "Has it been confirmed to be the same person?"

Xiao Kong nodded, "Using old photo restoration technology, the appearances of two people have been matched and are completely identical. According to the report by Li Tao back then, his sister was 18 years old, which was 8 years ago, and the memory information of those two people shows that they saw this Holy Daughter at the Eternal Life Sect also 8 years ago. The timelines match perfectly."

Li Tao was someone who took good care of Ye Tong in the past and was also an acquaintance of Ji Ning.

After retrieving the Holy Daughter information from the memories of the two Immortal People, Xiao Kong and others used big data and multiple matching technologies to find that she was related to a disappearance case from years ago. The person who reported it was Li Tao, and the missing person was his sister, Li Xiang.

They were now rushing to Anhe to learn about Li Xiang from Li Tao.

Ji Ning did not believe there could be so many coincidences.

She just couldn’t figure out how a girl working in the group performance industry in the interior of Hua Continent got involved with the Eternal Life Sect.

Could she have also been abducted?

However, the data shows that Li Tao’s sister Li Xiang was not the kind of host body preferred by the Eternal Life Sect.

Her physical constitution was only C8-level, her spiritual power was also C-level, and her family had no significant background, just a very ordinary family from Hua Continent.

Why would the Eternal Life Sect target her and make her the Holy Daughter?

Could it be that Li Xiang had contact with the high levels of the Eternal Life Sect during her work as a group performer?

Ji Ning’s gaze grew a bit colder.

...

For this investigation in Anhe, Ji Ning only brought Xiao Kong and Asheng, leaving the others to protect the students around the training camp.

The three of them boarded the exclusive Security Department plane, flying to Anhe.

Ji Ning first sent a message to Ye Tong.

Coincidentally, Ye Tong had just finished shooting the last scene of the morning, and was a bit surprised upon seeing it, quickly finding Lin Qing nearby to inquire about Li Tao’s situation.

Since signing with the studio opened by Ji Ning, Lin Qing had also been recommended to a small role in the "War God" crew.

It was something she never dared to dream of before, and her impression of Ye Tong and Ji Ning improved significantly.

In the crew, she had secretly helped Ye Tong several times and had resolved the insidious provocations by Jin Jiaojiao and her agent.

When Ye Tong came to her, she happened to be putting on makeup.

"Sister Qing, is Brother Tao at the film base today?"

Lin Qing hesitated for a moment since they hadn’t been in contact for a long time after the last fallout with Li Tao.

She hesitated, "He should be, right? I heard he recently took on a historical drama in the northern district."

"Okay, I’ll go find him."

Lin Qing felt a little strange but then heard Ji Ning quietly say, "Sister Ning is looking for him, don’t get the wrong idea."

Lin Qing was taken aback, a hint of worry in her eyes, "I’ll go with you. It’s been unstable in the northern district lately; Li Tao has had some conflicts with Big Head and his group. Going to see Li Tao alone might cause trouble."

Ye Tong didn’t refuse and waited for Lin Qing to finish before heading to the northern district of the film base with her.

Most of the scenes here consist of ancient buildings with both exterior and interior scenes from various eras, and there are many film crews shooting here.

Li Tao had been with his group performance team filming here recently.

When they arrived, Li Tao was in the middle of spraying medicine on an injured female group performer.

Lin Qing’s expression soured instantly, and even Ye Tong silently lit a small wax candle for Li Tao.

The two had been involved for a while; although things ended unpleasantly, Ye Tong knew that Lin Qing still had feelings for Li Tao. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Another newcomer, huh? What’s wrong? Oh, injured foot, why not sent to the hospital?" Lin Qing couldn’t help but say sarcastically.

Li Tao turned and saw her, his brow furrowing immediately, just about to explain when he saw Ye Tong standing next to Lin Qing, and his face brightened with a smile, "Oh, Xiao Tong is here too. Finished shooting, did you?"

Ye Tong also smiled back, "Just finished, came over to find Brother Tao."

Li Tao felt somewhat flattered; although Ye Tong’s status wasn’t high, she had managed to rise from a group performer and gained some fame.

Her Star Entertainment Platform account had tens of thousands of followers.

It was said she had been offered roles as a lead actress in some web dramas, but she didn’t seem to accept them.

Her coming to find him must mean she needed some help from him, right?

"Xiao Tong, what’s up?"

Ye Tong nodded with a smile and gestured to Li Tao for a private chat.

Li Tao quickly handed the spray bottle to the female group performer, advising softly: "Try spraying it first. If the swelling doesn’t go down, go to the hospital. I’ll go over for a bit..."

Seeing that Lin Qing wanted to make another sarcastic remark, Ye Tong quickly pulled her along to a place outside the crew where there were fewer people.

They waited for a while before Li Tao came over.

"Xiao Tong, what do you need from me?"

Ye Tong glanced around, saw no one was nearby, and lowered her voice, "Brother Tao, what I’m about to say, don’t get too excited."

"What’s up?" Li Tao smiled, thinking Ye Tong might introduce him to a big production crew.

But then Ye Tong said, "Sister Ning has news of your sister."

"What?"

Li Tao’s smile froze instantly, stepping forward quickly to grip Ye Tong’s shoulders with widened eyes, his expression unlike his usual self, filled with excitement, worry, and urgency, "Xiao Tong, where is she? You can’t joke about this with me."

Ye Tong quickly broke free from his grip, stepped back two or three steps, and reassured, "Brother Tao, don’t get excited. Sister Ning is on her way here; she wants me to take you to a place where we can talk."

Li Tao didn’t know Ji Ning was a Security Department Detective. His eyes showed a hint of caution, even though Ye Tong, whom he favored, was involved; matters concerning his sister were handled with utmost care.

"How does she know about Xiao Xiang?"

Ye Tong fiddled with her fingers, glancing at the equally puzzled Sister Qing, "Sister Ning, besides being a consultant in the crew, also has a few part-time jobs."

Lin Qing was surprised, "More part-time jobs?"

Ji Ning, despite her young age, had opened her own film studio and was now the big boss paying her salary.

With such wealth, why would she still have part-time jobs?

Li Tao was impatient, his tone harsh, "What kind of part-time jobs?"

"Security Department A-level Detective."

Both were stunned, eyes widening, filled with disbelief.

Ye Tong continued fiddling with her fingers, "She’ll show Brother Tao her Security Department credentials when she arrives, so she’ll need your cooperation."
