Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 78: Top Secret Files

"Sister Ning, you still haven’t told us your relationship with your idol?"

"Exactly, Sister Ning, you and your idol both share the surname Ji, are you related?"

After leaving Fu Yuanxuan, Bai Xiaotang and Ye Tong seemed to come back to life, standing in the elevator, one on each side, jiggling Ji Ning’s arm coquettishly.

Ji Ning thought for a moment and denied: "Not related."

"Then what is it? You both share the surname Ji, and even have the same name, and you found her relics. There can’t be so many coincidences!"

Bai Xiaotang didn’t believe it, it was rare that her mind was a bit sharp.

Ji Ning gazed at the numbers on the elevator display, her eyes a bit blank, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Consider it an inheritance of teachings."

"Inheritance of teachings?"

Bai Xiaotang and Ye Tong exchanged glances, while Lin Yuanyang suddenly had a light in his eyes, "Sister Ning, can I understand it this way, you discovered the Emperor’s Tomb in the Pollution Zone for some reason and found some relics left by Chairman Ji there. Including medical books, Body Refinement techniques, and those self-made weapons and antiques."

Ji Ning withdrew her gaze, nodding slightly.

Lin Yuanyang’s eyes brightened further, and then he looked solemnly at Bai Xiaotang and Ye Tong, advising, "No one should know about this matter except the four of us."

Bai Xiaotang immediately mimed a zipping motion across her mouth.

"Rest assured, Sister Ning, I won’t tell anyone about this, not even my own brother. Haha... does this mean I’m also an inheritor of the idol?"

Ye Tong nodded repeatedly, "Of course, Sister Ning has learned the idol’s inheritance, and since we learn from Sister Ning, it means we are also inheritors of the idol. If we take Sister Ning as our teacher, we would now be the idol’s grand-disciples."

"Really, then we..."

Ji Ning immediately waved her hand, "I don’t accept disciples."

"Sister Ning..."

"No disciples!"

The matter of crossing was too bizarre, if outsiders found out, there would definitely be endless troubles, the only reason to conceal her true identity could only be this, but it’s still trouble, especially with these two fanatical fans in front of her.

"I will continue to teach you. How much you can learn depends on your abilities." Ji Ning took a step back.

Bai Xiaotang and Ye Tong nodded repeatedly.

"Alright, alright... we will definitely study earnestly."

Lin Yuanyang, seeing this, also couldn’t stay calm, "Sister Ning, I also want to learn."

"Okay, have you bought all the herbs I asked you to?"

"I bought them. Two types of herbs will arrive tomorrow."

Ji Ning looked at him and said, "Start detoxification in five days."

"Okay."

Lin Yuanyang suddenly felt a bit of sourness in his nose, clenching his fists tightly.

Bai Xiaotang, unable to help his happiness, mimicked You Le’s usual way of hugging people, reached out to hook his shoulder, and said happily, "That’s great, Xiao Yang won’t have to take medicine in the future."

"Then I’ll make something delicious later, to celebrate."

***

After the meal.

Ji Ning unusually called Lin Yuanyang, "Come to my room later."

Lin Yuanyang thought Ji Ning was going to talk to him about detoxification matters, but as soon as he entered the room, he saw Ji Ning sitting at the desk, fiddling with the Smart Brain.

"Sister Ning."

Ji Ning picked up the hard drive on the desk and pointed at the desk, "Help me bypass the surveillance, and open this file."

Lin Yuanyang hesitated, seeing the casually placed opened courier box on the desk, pushed up his glasses, and asked, "A confidential file?"

"Kind of." Ji Ning stood up, giving the chair to Lin Yuanyang, and herself ran to the bedside, lazily lying down to rest her eyes.

Lin Yuanyang typed a few lines of code on an external keyboard connected to the Smart Brain before inserting the hard drive into it.

"Dang—"

Accompanied by a system sound, an error popup suddenly appeared on the screen.

Lin Yuanyang frowned, typing a few more lines of code, then looking back at Ji Ning, "This hard drive has internal locks, requiring facial recognition to open, or it will automatically destroy its content."

Ji Ning’s eyes snapped open, she sat up from the bed, came behind Lin Yuanyang, and bent down to look at the screen.

The pleasant lavender scent instantly lingered at Lin Yuanyang’s nose tip.

Lin Yuanyang’s ears felt a bit hot, he moved aside, allowing Ji Ning to look at the screen.

"How to do it?" Ji Ning asked.

Lin Yuanyang, slightly nervous, pointed at the camera on the screen, "Align your face here, don’t move."

He then took the keyboard and typed quickly until a folder appeared on the screen.

"It’s done."

Ji Ning glanced at the already standing Lin Yuanyang, pulled out the chair, and sat down directly.

The materials in the folder weren’t abundant, just one document and three video clips.

Without hiding it from Lin Yuanyang, Ji Ning directly opened one of the documents.

Lin Yuanyang, who was about to leave, was caught off guard by the content of the document.

[Security Bureau Special Department Red Group Member Information]

"Sister Ning, you..."

Ji Ning, with a calm expression, flipped through the document content, making Lin Yuanyang extremely nervous.

Who gave her this information?

"Sister Ning, this is a top-secret document from the Security Bureau, why are you looking at it?"

"Just getting to know it."

Lin Yuanyang had a serious expression, "Ordinary people would be sentenced for viewing these."

"I see."

Ji Ning closed the document after finishing it, then opened a video clip.

This video was very short, merely ten seconds long, but it clearly captured the face of a middle-aged man.

Lin Yuanyang was startled, and his expression grew more serious.

Ji Ning asked him, "Who is this man?"

Lin Yuanyang pursed his lips, looking at the back of Ji Ning’s head with a complex expression, and after a moment of silence, he revealed the man’s identity.

"He is Li Wenxin, the Family Head of the Li Family, and also the overall head of Hua Continent’s Security Bureau."

"Li Zhan’s grandson?" Ji Ning was a bit surprised.

Lin Yuanyang nodded slightly, "Yes."

Ji Ning then opened the second video, lasting over a minute, it was still CCTV footage.

The Red Group members were escorting a prisoner when they were ambushed, one of the Red Group members didn’t resist the outsiders and swiftly killed the prisoner.

The execution was clean and without hesitation.

Lin Yuanyang’s breath paused, seemingly surprised at how those people treated the suspect.

Ji Ning then opened the third video, this time the video was normal, it was a segment of Hua Continent news.

The host inside reported the news with a serious expression: "Recently, the Huazhou Life Research Institute discovered a new variant strain N3T1 in the Pollution Zone, and this strain’s RNA will affect the human immune system..."

The Red Group’s members flashed by in the footage.

The three videos seemed unrelated, but still subtly revealed some people’s identities.

"Sister Ning, why are you probing them?" Lin Yuanyang’s eyes showed a hint of concern.

All members of the Security Bureau’s special department were superpower users, their identities were very secret, apart from the Security Bureau director, no one knew their true identities, only their codenames within the Security Bureau.

All tasks they executed were S-Class top-secret missions, with no imagery ever released.

Where did Sister Ning get these three videos?

Seeing Ji Ning not answering his questions, Lin Yuanyang became somewhat anxious, "Sister Ning, you are playing with fire. If the Security Bureau finds out about this, you will definitely be arrested."

Ji Ning closed the materials, turned back, and with a calm expression looked at Lin Yuanyang, asking a seemingly unrelated question: "Does your Lin Family have superpower users?"

What?

Lin Yuanyang was stunned for several seconds, his brows knitted deeper, "Sister Ning, I’m not trying to be alarmist. Each continent places great importance on superpower users, if found that someone is investigating them, they will be treated as spies..."

"I know."

"Then why do you...?"

"I have my reasons. You just need to tell me the superpower user information you know." Ji Ning’s voice was cold, interrupting him, her gaze still calm but carried more pressure.

Lin Yuanyang suddenly felt a danger alert from his brain, his hands hanging by his sides involuntarily clenched.

The invisible confrontation lasted less than 30 seconds, ending with Lin Yuanyang’s pale face.

Lin Yuanyang, incredulous, looked into her eyes, bit his lips, and after a long silence, compromised, "Our family does have superpower users. I should say all noble families ranked in Beijing have."
