Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 284 - 279: The Gu Family Wants to Harm Me...
Yu Jian’s appearance is not striking, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been sent on board this time.
No one could notice him if he wanted to keep a low profile.
Huang Ying was quite satisfied with his discretion.
The two quickly walked through the kitchen with few people, heading to the nearest public restroom.
This place connects to the sea, and all waste is directly discharged into the ocean.
The water used is also seawater.
Yu Jian held it in all night, but now he finally felt relieved.
He looked at the ocean outside the window, pondering how to escape from here, but merely thought about it.
"Let’s go back." After coming out, Yu Jian said to Huang Ying.
Huang Ying saw he was still fairly obedient, said nothing, and took him back to the warehouse.
This time, they passed the kitchen and happened to encounter the superpower user Lao San.
Yu Jian wished to lower his head and reduce his presence to the minimum.
The superpower user Lao San was furious, "What do you mean by this? Serving us rotten fish and shriveled shrimp? Huh? Do you think we can’t smell it?"
The cook on the ship shrank back in fear, his eyes lighting up instantly when he saw Huang Ying.
Huang Ying thought to herself, ’This is bad’, but changing her face was impossible now.
She heard the cook pointing at her and saying, "I was following Brother Xiao Lin’s instructions."
The superpower user Lao San’s eyes immediately glared over, his whole person like a lit firecracker, walked straight over and grabbed Huang Ying by the collar, shouting, "You want to die, I’ll fulfill your wish now!"
Accompanying his words, Huang Ying was punched in the face, knocking her into a nearby bucket of fish.
The strong smell of fish made Huang Ying uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do; she needed to maintain her character.
She pretended to be in pain, unable to get up.
The superpower user Lao San didn’t let her go, came over and kicked her several more times.
If she were an ordinary person, she would have had her bones broken by now, but Huang Ying’s physique is SS-level, and this level of force doesn’t hurt her muscles or bones.
"Try any tricks again, and I’ll feed you to the fish!" The superpower user Lao San didn’t want to cause a fatality; seeing that she should be crippled, he stopped kicking and left after issuing a threat.
Everyone around dared not make a sound; after a while, seeing the superpower user Lao San wasn’t coming back, they hurried over to help Huang Ying up and casually found a dormitory to send her into.
"Quick, go report to Brother Dato."
Huang Ying was playing the role of Brother Dato’s number one lackey at that moment; the rotten fish and shriveled shrimp affair wasn’t her order, but Big Head’s direct arrangement.
Just because before Big Head tried to please these four people and was very disdainful towards the superpower user Lao San, and later when the superpower user Lao Da was injured by Ji Hong, he dared secretly to let the four suffer some losses; he didn’t expect to be confronted so soon.
Huang Ying kept pretending to pass out, only when these people went out to find Big Head did she open her eyes, directly meeting Yu Jian’s probing gaze.
"I knew you’d be fine." Yu Jian secretly breathed a sigh of relief; he was truly afraid this person in front of him would be seriously injured, unable to help him.
"I’m recovering my health recently, and you’re just here. No need to go back to the warehouse."
Yu Jian’s heart was delighted; if possible, he indeed didn’t want to return to that dark warehouse; if it weren’t for this event, he would also look for a chance for this person in front of him to help him out.
On the other side.
Chang Ru on the sickbed finally awoke.
The confused brain finally had a bit of clarity, but the intense pain made her unable to hold back a whimper.
"Awake?"
The familiar female voice caused Chang Ru’s body to pause, and then she saw Ji Ning’s face.
At this moment, she didn’t know why she suddenly felt aggrieved, her eyes instantly reddening, soon overflowing with tears.
She wanted to say she was in pain but realized she had no strength even to speak.
"You take a look at her." Ji Ning stepped aside, immediately two strange men’s faces appeared.
Chang Ru hunched her body but relaxed when she saw the two wearing white coats.
Ji Ning probably wouldn’t let anything happen to her.
Under Ji Ning’s pressuring gaze, the two carefully examined Chang Ru’s body.
Fortunately, all wounds have healed, or this female demon could have broken their bones.
The two lowered their heads discussing Chang Ru’s injury situation, and after receiving Ji Ning’s order for them to leave, they jogged out of the room as if their footsteps were blown by wind.
"They are Gu Family people." Ji Ning chuckled softly.
Chang Ru’s eyes instantly widened, seemingly wanting to say something, but her throat felt as if blocked by cotton, unable to make a sound.
Ji Ning continued, "When I arrived, you were right here, not in the hospital."
Chang Ru seemed to think of something, and the fear in her enlarged eyes appeared, then she forcefully tried to speak, but the flush on her face from holding back only resulted in a weak sound: "They..."
Ji Ning took half a step forward, two fingers pointing to Chang Ru’s throat, a milky-white light entered her body, making Chang Ru feel she finally had the strength, and her throat no longer felt tight.
She hurriedly spoke, "Gu Family wants to harm me..."
"Why?"
"Because I learned the Gu Family’s..."
At this point, she seemed to recall something, and her voice abruptly stopped.
Ji Ning raised an eyebrow, "What?"
"Noth...nothing..."
"Are you sure? There’s a superpower user among those two."
Hearing this, Chang Ru’s eyes immediately lost all traces of struggle, "I know who the Gu Family’s hidden ally is!"
"Who?"
"Li Family people, Gu Family and Li Family have a blood relationship."
This information is extremely valuable.
Ji Ning suspectedly studied Chang Ru, causing her heart to become flustered.
This information was a hearsay she heard in her past life, but to verify it, she used the Sun Family to test the Gu Family; she initially wanted the Gu Family to target the Sun Family, giving her an opportunity, but didn’t expect the Gu Family to be so ruthless they even wanted to eliminate her.
"How did you know?" Ji Ning asked.
Chang Ru felt a lack of confidence, "Overhearing by accident."
Ji Ning noticed her guilty expression and knew she was lying, but with Gu Family and Li Family’s cautious nature, they wouldn’t allow an outsider to hear such important news.
So Chang Ru definitely obtained the information from another channel, so this news’s truth still requires further verification.
Ji Ning didn’t inquire further, gave her a meaningful look several times, finally saying, "Rest for now, in a few days someone will send you back to Beijing Bai Family."
"What about you?"
"I have things to do."
"Won’t you send me back to Beijing?" Chang Ru’s tone was urgent, fearing Ji Ning would leave her uncared for.
After living through life-and-death, she’s now terribly afraid of death, especially knowing the Gu Family is planning her demise, she doesn’t dare return to the Sun Family.
Now, besides Ji Ning, she trusts no one.
Ji Ning gave her a faint glance, scaring Chang Ru to quickly divert her gaze.
Only after Ji Ning left the room did she truly feel relieved.
But soon, she began to feel fear again, especially after the superpower effect wore off and her whole body hurt.
She truly hates Gu Family people, and is extremely jealous of Bai Xiaotang.
If Bai Xiaotang were the one injured, Ji Ning certainly wouldn’t let her return to Beijing alone.
Why is it that after living another lifetime, she still can’t compete with Bai Xiaotang’s good fortune?
Meanwhile, the envied Bai Xiaotang was worriedly looking at the pile of gifts in front of her.
