Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 340 - 335: Lin Qing Is a Talent!

Two hours later—

Ye Tong, who was sitting on the bus to the Jiuming Mountain Memorial Museum, received a call from Lin Qing.

A slightly trembling voice, with a hint of flattery, recounted her investigation and what had happened.

Ye Tong did not expect that it was the newly popular actress from Xingyu Entertainment, Jin Jiaojiao.

"Sister Ning, look at this..." Ye Tong sent the photos, video, and recording that Lin Qing had forwarded to her to Ji Ning.

After Ji Ning looked at them, the smile on her face deepened a bit.

This made Ye Tong shiver.

Meanwhile, Lin Qing, who was far away at the film base, sneezed heavily.

Will she not make things difficult for me?

Lin Qing thought secretly, then took out two thick envelopes and handed them to the three actresses who had helped her.

The three women took the envelopes, squeezed them to feel the thickness, and said with satisfaction, "Sister Qing, if there’s another good deal like this, remember to call on us..."

Lin Qing waved her hand, a little speechless, and let them leave.

These three were the disguised women who had clashed with "Ye Tong" in the morning, as well as two supporting actresses who "chatted" with Jin Jiaojiao.

They had followed Lin Qing since they started working as extras and were both hometown friends and people Lin Qing trusted the most.

Their initial plan was to publicly disgrace Ye Tong and find someone to expose it, but Lin Qing was scared by Ji Ning and hurriedly changed the plan.

The conflict still occurred, but the location was chosen outside the café to fool Jin Jiaojiao’s eyes.

Afterward, the other two came back during a break, chatted leisurely, and wouldn’t arouse Jin Jiaojiao’s suspicion. The two were able to smoothly use "Ye Tong’s secret" to elicit information from Jin Jiaojiao.

Finally, Lin Qing, after leaving, altered her appearance and used her contacts to track down the nanny van Jin Jiaojiao was taking. She hiddenly set up cameras and recording devices nearby and successfully recorded Jin Jiaojiao’s conversation with her assistant, revealing Jin Jiaojiao’s true identity.

"Lin Qing is quite the talent!" Ji Ning murmured with admiration after watching the video and listening to the recording sent by Ye Tong.

Ye Tong looked at her in surprise.

After listening to the recording, Ji Ning said to Lin Yuanyang, "Send an invitation to Lin Qing."

Ye Tong opened her eyes wide, only to see Ji Ning glance at her, seemingly with some disdain, and say, "Learn from her in the future."

Ye Tong: ...

Lin Qing, upon receiving the unexpected message, was so shocked she almost sat down on the ground.

After vigorously rubbing her eyes and confirming she was not mistaken, she suddenly froze and then burst into tears.

Surprised, bystanders detoured around her.

There was a hint of sympathy in their eyes.

Has Lin Qing’s psychosis relapsed?

Jiuming Mountain Memorial Museum.

Feng Yu did not expect to encounter the camouflaged Jiazhou ambassador, Joe Lane, and his entourage.

His curiosity was quite piqued, and after glancing at him twice, Joe Lane’s entourage invited him over.

Joe Lane spoke fluently, albeit a bit awkwardly, and smilingly said to Feng Yu, "You know Ning, right?"

Feng Yu was taken aback, then realized and tentatively asked, "Do you mean Ji Ning?"

"Yes, that’s correct. I’m friends with Ning." Joe Lane replied with a smile.

Feng Yu, who had initially been quite wary of Joe Lane and his entourage, felt his tension ease a bit upon hearing this. "Ambassador, how long have you known Sister Ning?"

Joe Lane smiled, "Quite a while. Handsome young man, are you familiar with this place?"

Feng Yu glanced around and nodded slightly.

He had visited the place for a tour during school, and many of the old artifacts on display were mentioned in history books.

"Come on, let’s have a look together." Joe Lane invited with a smile, Feng Yu checked his watch and found there was still some time before Ji Ning and the others arrived, so he agreed.

Members of the Special Ability Team secretly monitoring Joe Lane’s group reported information about Feng Yu to the Huazhou Alliance.

Unbeknownst to Feng Lei, his cousin brought unprecedented attention to the Feng Family.

Through conversation with Joe Lane, Feng Yu discovered he was very familiar with the history of Huazhou’s troubled times, even knowing events Feng Yu had never heard of.

This made him more curious, "How do you know so much about the Commander?"

"There’s an old saying in Hua Continent that’s quite accurate, ’your enemy knows you best...’" Joe Lane mischievously winked at Feng Yu. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Feng Yu: ...

Is this something he should be told?

Joe Lane glanced at the old photographs on the wall and continued, "Of course, we are not enemies, just competitors. I have great admiration for this Female War God of Huazhou. Her strength is formidable, and I truly envy your three Commanders, who can receive her guidance..."

Feng Yu paused for a moment, also looking at the wall.

The old photograph showed a long-ago group portrait, with about a dozen people seated in two rows, the central position empty, said to be left for the sacrificed Commander.

"Heaven is jealous of talents, what a pity..." Joe Lane lamented and moved to the side.

Feng Yu furrowed his brow and looked at the group photo on the wall again, memories from his school days suddenly resurfacing in his mind.

[Ji Ning, died in the first year of the New World, aged 20...]

It seemed like all film materials and history books were written this way, but what about the cause of death?

The thought flashed through Feng Yu’s mind, making him shiver.

He no longer wanted to tour the museum with Joe Lane.

Just as he was considering how to find an excuse to leave, he accidentally bumped into someone.

The burly, strong body hit his nose, causing pain.

"Watch it, kid!" Feng Yu clutched his aching nose, looked up, and saw a stout man wearing a baseball cap and mask glaring fiercely at him.

The man had thick facial hair beneath his mask.

His bulky build made Feng Yu seem weak and pitiful by comparison.

Fortunately, the man did not pursue the matter of the collision, and after giving Feng Yu a glare, hurriedly left with the person beside him.

Feng Yu watched the man’s departing back with a frown.

It seemed that he had smelled a strange scent on that man just now.

Before he could think more, someone bumped into him again.

Nearby tourists seemed to be swarming toward him, chatting as they moved, "Hey, why is it being cleared out?"

"Probably because some important figure is coming. I heard that the ambassador visiting Hua Continent this time was allowed to visit Jiuming Mountain."

"Really? Could we see some officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

...

Feng Yu was swept along by the crowd as the place was being cleared. Not far ahead, Joe Lane spread his hands helplessly, seemingly saying, see, this is the trouble when you’re not in disguise.

A smile tugged at Feng Yu, and after being coerced out of the museum, he saw several police cars providing escort, followed by a black embassy vehicle.

Soon, plainclothes officers approached them and invited Joe Lane to leave with them.

Feng Yu touched his nose, preparing to go to the parking lot.

Unexpectedly, the plainclothes officers returned and blocked his way.

"Mr. Feng, please come with us."

Feng Yu: ...

When Ji Ning and her group arrived at Jiuming Mountain, they received a message from the Jiuming Mountain Base asking Ji Ning to come in for inquiry.

Reason: Feng Yu is suspected of smuggling drugs.
