Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 472 - 467: Investigation (Part 6)

Ji Ning never thought the most introverted and rule-abiding member of the group, Wind Girl, would have such strong career ambitions.

Asheng quietly explained on behalf of Wind Girl, "Wind Girl cherishes every opportunity given by the group leader, but she’s not good at expressing herself. That’s why, despite her strong abilities, she seemed invisible in other groups before."

To avoid awkwardness for Wind Girl, Ji Ning decided to stay at a hotel for the night.

Wind Girl opened the door after tidying up, relieved to see only Asheng outside, yet still anxiety-ridden, "Where’s the group leader?"

"She went to a hotel. Tomorrow, you need to pick her up early." Asheng’s eyes were full of teasing, sneaking a glance at a certain gentleman inside the room.

Quietly asked, "Is he the new brother-in-law?"

Wind Girl expressionless, "Ex-brother-in-law."

Asheng sympathetically looked at the man again; he was the third unfortunate one she knew who was dumped.

...

The next morning,

Wind Girl and Asheng drove to pick up Ji Ning, originally thinking they were heading back to the training camp, but Ji Ning gave them an unfamiliar address instead.

Asheng asked, "Group leader, what are we investigating today?"

Ji Ning looked down at her phone screen, typing as she replied, "Meeting Su Qiangwei."

Wind Girl was shocked, turning to look at her powerful group leader with excitement in her voice, "Group leader, is it really Su Qiangwei?"

Ji Ning glanced up at her, "Why, do you like her too?"

Wind Girl nodded repeatedly, eyes sparkling, "I really like her works from the ’War God’ series."

"When you have the chance, ask her for an autograph."

Wind Girl’s morning nerves instantly vanished.

Asheng, seeing her so happy, swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue.

It was too late yesterday, and with what happened, she hadn’t had the chance to share the case details with her.

Hopefully, Wind Girl won’t break down in tears upon learning the truth...

The three arrived near the Beijing Film Academy.

After parking in an underground lot, Ji Ning tossed a small travel bag to the two.

"Find some clothes to change into, dress more like students."

Asheng initially thought the bag contained Ji Ning’s change of clothes, but it was full of casual wear and some disguise props.

Were these all bought by the group leader at the Anhe Film and Television Base?

Ji Ning was already expertly putting on a wig, her skills extremely proficient.

All of this was prepared by Lin Qing for her, absolutely professional.

Wind Girl and Asheng quickly changed clothes outside the car, and when the door opened again, a long-haired unfamiliar girl stepped out from the back seat.

If they hadn’t stayed inside the car the whole time, they wouldn’t dare confirm it was their group leader.

"Oh my, group leader, your makeup skills are amazing. Almost as perfect as Sister Ying’s superpower." Asheng sincerely admired.

Ji Ning’s facial features quickly changed, said lightly, "Is Huang Ying’s superpower hard to learn?"

Asheng and Wind Girl: ...

They forgot, their group leader is a gifted multi-system superpower user.

Knowing Huang Ying’s superpower is very normal.

...

The three dressed as students, blended into Beijing Film Academy.

The romantic tree-lined path was lined with cherry blossoms, now blossoming, pale pink petals falling like gentle rain in the breeze.

Every frame was a picturesque scene.

Many Film Academy students gathered under the trees for filming.

Asheng took a closer look as she passed, inwardly sighing: indeed, the Film Academy produces handsome men and beautiful women.

Beautiful people, beautiful scenery, and beautiful scenes — truly pleasing to the eye.

Attending school here surely offers daily visual enjoyment.

No time for more thoughts, a voice pleasant and appearance handsome brother stopped them.

"Juniors, we’re from the school’s student council publicity department, shooting June’s recruitment video. We’re missing an actor, could you help us with a cameo?"

The handsome brother kept his eyes on Wind Girl, evidently taken by her current image.

It must be said, when Wind Girl acts young, she has a pure and innocent university girl vibe that’s easy to fool.

Afraid she’d miss seeing the idol, Wind Girl stiffened her face and coldly refused, "Brother, we’re rushing to class and are already late. Sorry..."

The handsome brother was quite surprised, seemingly not expecting that the three youthful-looking girls could be seniors.

"Right, handsome brother, where’s the auditorium?"

The handsome brother reflexively pointed in the direction, "Go left ahead, that’s the auditorium."

"Thanks..."

Wind Girl’s smile was lovely, and the handsome brother’s face turned red.

After they walked away, he suddenly realized those three girls weren’t students from this school.

...

Su Qiangwei came to the Film Academy this time to give a speech to soon-to-be graduates.

Entry required tickets, but the three utilized Ji Ning’s superpower and comfortably entered the auditorium.

The Film Academy’s auditorium was divided into upper and lower floors, with many seats.

But there were even more faculty and students present, many without seats.

Yet it didn’t diminish their enthusiasm for Su Qiangwei.

The three also saw many students holding support sticks and boards.

Clearly, there was a large-scale fan atmosphere.

The three went straight to the not-so-crowded second floor, found an inconspicuous corner to look down.

Su Qiangwei was yet to take the stage, only the host warming up the crowd, guiding everyone to watch the big screen, reviewing the various roles Su Qiangwei played in her career and the honors she received, along with her contributions to society.

Ji Ning happened to gain some understanding of Su Qiangwei through the short film.

This woman was keen on promoting [Commander Ji Ning], most roles she played were related to [Commander Ji Ning].

She published two books: one called "The Years I Played the Commander," and the other "How the Commander’s Spirit Changed My Destiny."

She also greatly enjoyed participating in charity activities, mostly funding impoverished girls to attend school.

The funding scope isn’t limited to Hua Continent, but extends to other continents, with donation amounts ranking in the world’s top ten, making her one of the global charity ambassadors, internationally renowned.

Ji Ning felt the emotional shifts on everyone present, admiring this woman’s fame and promotional skills.

Even if she hadn’t time-traveled and truly lived till now, she wouldn’t have this kind of popularity.

If she utilized this influence to persuade fans to join the Eternal Life Sect, it would be terrifying.

No wonder Li Wenxin cautiously advised when he learned she’s investigating Su Qiangwei, "It’s best to investigate her privately, avoid triggering public negative sentiment."

"Ah... Su Qiangwei——"

Suddenly a scream ignited the enthusiasm of the crowd.

Deafening shouts seemed like they were going to lift the rooftop.

The faculty and students at Beijing Film Academy couldn’t contain their emotions, shouting louder and louder, nearly tearing their voices, but Ji Ning’s face immediately darkened.

A strange spiritual power accompanied Su Qiangwei as she entered the auditorium, assaulting her mind.

Ji Ning’s pupils slightly contracted as an even stronger spiritual power fiercely swept back.

Su Qiangwei, chatting with nearby faculty and students, paused her steps, her expression momentarily rigid, face paler.

A trace of fear surfaced in her eyes, simultaneously looking toward the second floor.

Since her superpower level advanced to rank 12, she hadn’t felt such an intimidating spiritual power in ages.

Who is this person?

Why have they come here?
