Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 349 - 344: I’m Going to Make You Leave Here Sideways!
is the date when the explosion happened at Jiuming Mountain during the chaotic times.
It is also the day when the first Female War God of the Hua Continent sacrificed herself.
For the people of Hua Continent, this number holds a heavy sorrow.
Watching Ji Ning casually mention this number, the two Ye Family members at the scene had complex emotions.
Ye Xingyan, as the former young master of the Ye Family, knew some secrets that Ye Xiangying didn’t.
Therefore, the information from Ji Ning was as shocking to him as a mushroom cloud rising.
"Impossible... then why didn’t he..." Ye Xingyan stopped speaking, realizing Ye Xiangying was still present.
Ji Ning glanced at him, a cold light flashing in her eyes.
This old fox still had unspoken secrets.
"I don’t know about that," Ji Ning said ambiguously, chuckling lightly, "Do you have a way to confirm his identity?"
Ye Xingyan’s body paused, his nerves tightening.
"Think carefully before you speak," Ji Ning said calmly again.
Ye Xingyan: ...
Did he have a choice?
Encounters with this she-devil were his misfortune.
"If I can get his blood, I will have a way to confirm his identity."
"Alright."
Ye Xingyan: ???
Ye Xiangying listened to the conversation between Ji Ning and her subordinate, feeling a sense of discordance and couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Ji Ning’s subordinate.
This person gave her a very familiar feeling.
But she couldn’t think too much since Ji Ning’s words were too shocking, and she needed to report it immediately.
After Ji Ning deliberately disclosed the information, she stopped caring.
Anyway, whether they could capture Joe Lane was the business of the Huazhou Alliance and those three families.
Now, she had to think about how to obtain Joe Lane’s blood.
***
The heavy snow at Jiuming Mountain stopped after falling for a whole day.
The mountain roads were still being cleared of snow and couldn’t be traversed for the time being.
Joe Lane sat by the window, staring at the white snow outside with an expressionless face.
The butler standing in the corner, Charles, was frightened, even breathing lightly.
Ever since seeing Miss Ji in the conference hall, the gentleman’s mood hadn’t improved, and Charles didn’t know what happened between them.
He so wished time could go back two days, where he wouldn’t tell him about Miss Ji’s matter at Jiuming Mountain, and he wouldn’t have run into a wall here.
To be honest, he didn’t want the gentleman to risk himself by coming to Hua Continent.
But no one could change the gentleman’s mind.
He only hoped that this trip to Hua Continent would go smoothly and they could safely return to Jiazhou.
Just then, Joe Lane in front of the window suddenly said, "Go open the door."
As soon as his words fell, the doorbell rang from outside.
Charles hid his inner surprise and immediately stepped towards the door.
He considered himself quite capable, yet he hadn’t heard the footsteps of the visitor,
This realization was both startling and terrifying.
Charles pressed his lips tightly, opened the door, and wanted to see who was outside.
"Miss Ji?" Charles’s eyes lit up, and he respectfully made a gesture of invitation.
Ji Ning nodded faintly at him and walked into the room slowly.
This time, Joe Lane didn’t display his usual enthusiasm, sitting by the window, appearing to be deep in thought.
Ji Ning didn’t find it rude and walked to sit across from him.
"You don’t trust me," Joe Lane said suddenly.
Charles, hearing this, quickly moved towards the door, leaving the space to the two of them.
Ji Ning smiled, "Do you think I would trust someone who wants to assassinate me?"
With those words, the atmosphere in the room became tense instantly, and Joe Lane slightly widened his eyes, paused his hand with the coffee cup, and said with a smile, "Ning, what are you talking about? I don’t quite understand..."
"You know exactly what I’m talking about, Simon..." Ji Ning interrupted him, staring deeply into Joe Lane’s eyes with meaningful intent.
Joe Lane’s heart tightened, an involuntary flicker in his eyes.
He looked silently into Ji Ning’s eyes, his gaze gradually drifting away as if recalling something.
After a while, he suddenly curved his lips, his voice changing in tone, restoring his original arrogance, "How did you know? My appearance has changed so much."
Seeing that he finally spoke the truth, Ji Ning’s lips curled slightly, and she averted her gaze, looking at the snow outside as if lamenting, "I didn’t know for sure, but I knew any family wanting to assassinate me was surely not good!"
Joe Lane was startled, and then he burst into indulgent laughter, "Ha ha ha... You’re careful indeed..." Malicious intent and killing intent gradually emerged in his eyes, "You truly are an annoying person!"
"Am I? Then I’m relieved."
Joe Lane: ...
The slight smile on Ji Ning’s face was as irritable as ever to him.
"If it weren’t for that useless person, you’d have died in our hands already," Joe Lane said, gripping the chair’s armrest with force, his eyes filled with venom.
"Is that so? Then you are truly unfortunate." Ji Ning turned her head to look at him.
Joe Lane seemed to have thrown a punch into cotton, feeling utterly frustrated, and then, as if he’d thought of something, he suddenly said with a smile, "Do you think you’ll still be lucky this time?"
Ji Ning thought for a moment, then answered seriously, "Do you mean those few Fourteenth Rank superpower users hiding outside?"
"No..." Joe Lane replied with a smile, his expression gentle as always, giving off a feeling of kindness.
"This is Jiuming Mountain; you might not be lucky this time," Ji Ning said, face calm, as if seeing right through him.
"If it were chaotic times, I might not escape, but now it’s peaceful, and you can’t hold me here," Joe Lane laughed again, the smugness in his eyes enough to make anyone want to punch him twice.
That’s exactly what Ji Ning thought, and exactly what she did.
Her speed was extreme, and Joe Lane was unprepared; her fist landed right on his mouth, tearing the soft flesh inside against his teeth, and the capillaries in his nose burst instantly, a red stain falling onto the floor and Ji Ning’s hand.
Joe Lane clutched his mouth, glaring hatefully at Ji Ning.
The sound came as if squeezed between his teeth, "You savage..."
"Hah... Didn’t you already know? Dare to act arrogantly on my turf, I’ll have you come in standing and leave laying down!" With those words, Ji Ning’s figure once again blurred, striking toward Joe Lane.
This time, Joe Lane was ready, dodging quickly and counterattacking.
The two did not use superpowers, relying solely on brute strength, each move landing solidly.
The commotion inside quickly attracted Charles, who opened the door to see the two rolling on the ground.
You kick me once, I punch you once, their fight was savage.
"This... Oh my... Sir, Miss Ji, you..." Charles wanted to rush in to pull them apart, only to hear the two on the ground say in unison, "Get out—"
Charles froze mid-step, finally stomped his foot, and turned to run outside.
"Call Mr. Fu and Miss Ye..."
When Fu Linyang and Ye Xiangying arrived, the fight had already ended, seeing Ji Ning riding on Joe Lane’s back, forcing Joe Lane’s arm back with her elbow, viciously saying, "Kid, you’re still too green to challenge me? Listen up, the Ryan Body Refining Technique is trash, don’t you dare mess with me..."
Fu Linyang & Ye Xiangying: ...
What was this situation in front of them?
Before they could make sense of it, gunfire suddenly erupted outside.
"Bang—bang—bang—"
Ji Ning’s expression changed instantly, her body moving like lightning toward the window.
She saw Huang Ying clutching his injured arm, pulling open a car door and climbing inside.
