CHAPTER 175: CHAPTER 175: THAT’S NOT A GOOD DEAL FOR THE BAI FAMILY

Aunt Zeng outside the door took a long time to recover from her shock.

She got up from the ground and slowly walked outside. Her clothes were already soaked with sweat.

There is such a dangerous person beside the young lady; I must tell the Family Head.

Just as she was about to take a step, a hand suddenly appeared above her head.

Then she lost consciousness.

Ji Ning stood coldly behind her, carrying her back inside.

With a touch of her fingertip between Aunt Zeng’s brows, she slowly opened her eyes, half-asleep and half-awake.

She seemed to hear a distant and indistinct voice in her ear: "Have a good sleep, forget all the unpleasant things..."

Aunt Zeng closed her eyes again, the tightness in her brow gradually relaxing.

Ji Ning sighed with relief, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and lay back on the sofa.

The superpowers she used in the past two days were excessive. If she doesn’t rest well, she might die before the former Lin Yuanyang.

Her superpower is very strong, dominating in chaotic times. But everything has two sides; the stronger the superpower user, the shorter the lifespan. Because the human body cannot bear overly powerful energy, like a balloon: the more air, the larger the volume, but also the risk of bursting.

When a superpower user controls superpowers, part of the energy enters the body and temporarily stores there, like that balloon. The more energy you control, the more energy stored in the body. When the stored energy exceeds the body’s capacity, there’s a risk of explosion.

Her physique is top-notch in chaotic times but still cannot bear her powers at their peak.

That’s why she always wears those two earrings made of special metal, to control the superpower within her body.

Speaking of which, these earrings are quite magical, like storage devices with infinite space, with the function of absorbing her superpower.

Every time she uses superpowers, these earrings absorb energy from her body to balance the excessive energy within, but the absorption speed is a bit slow. If she uses too much energy or too frequently, it may result in a berserk situation as before.

At times like this, she needs to remove the earrings and directly pierce the skin; the earrings will absorb energy faster through her blood.

These earrings were given to her by an old professor, but even the professor didn’t know their origin, only saying they were handed down to her by a mysterious figure whose face was unseen.

She had searched all over the Hua Continent, but couldn’t find any metal material similar to those earrings.

So the earrings and the mysterious figure remain an unsolved mystery to this day.

Ji Ning touched her ear, got off the sofa, and prepared to check on Bai Yusen’s side.

Bai Yulin’s limbs had already been broken by her, and she erased his memory entirely, making it impossible for him to cause trouble for the Bai siblings anytime soon.

That woman with super accurate intuition, Chang Ru, lost an arm this time.

Although she didn’t regard Chang Ru as a threat, the matter with Bai Xiaotang and Lin Yuanyang served as a warning to her.

She was no longer the powerful lady boss of the Huazhou Safety Zone that she was in chaotic times, feared by many.

Here, she was just an ordinary superpower user without money, power, or influence, relying on others for food and shelter.

She couldn’t use her previous methods on people now.

"Where are you?" Ji Ning called Bai Yusen.

Bai Yusen’s voice sounded a bit tired, "Next door."

Ji Ning looked out the window and replied, "Hmm."

"Have you rested well?" Bai Yusen asked in surprise.

Less than half an hour had passed, right?

"Pretty much, I’m going back to Anhe soon."

"So soon? And the Security Bureau..."

"No worries, if they need anything, they’ll come to Anhe to find me." Ji Ning’s tone was calm but confident.

Thinking about the Security Bureau’s people’s attitude, Bai Yusen felt the same.

After all, she is a multi-system superpower user. Even if they don’t invite her back with privileges, they won’t let her go easily.

He was somewhat worried about another matter, "Are you going back to stay in the accommodation provided by the Security Bureau?"

"..."

Seeing her not answering, Bai Yusen felt a bit uneasy. To be honest, he hoped Ji Ning could stay by Bai Xiaotang’s side, so he wouldn’t have to worry about his sister’s safety every day.

Just not sure if Ji Ning would agree to stay.

On the other side, Ji Ning frowned slightly upon hearing this question.

"Do you want me to move out?"

"No, I hope you continue to live in Mingfu Garden and be Tangtang’s roommate. To be honest, Tangtang and Xiao Yang living alone in Anhe makes me uneasy, but I can’t bring them back to Beijing, so I’m asking you to look after them."

Bai Yusen’s words were sincere, and Ji Ning let out a small smile, "You want me to babysit for you?"

"No, I will hire bodyguards; I mainly hope you’ll step in if the bodyguards can’t handle it. I know you have your own matters to attend to, so you can consider this a part-time job. I’ll still pay you a fee every month."

Ji Ning raised an eyebrow.

Not only would she have free food and lodging, but also a salary?

"I don’t like taking advantage of others. You don’t have to hire me to take care of them. I’m not good at caring for people. As for their safety, I can assure you that as long as I’m here, they won’t be in mortal danger."

"But..."

"I know what you want to say and your purpose. I can agree to it, but this can only be an agreement between me and Patriarch Bai, not Bai Xiaotang’s brother," Ji Ning interrupted Bai Yusen.

Bai Yusen was stunned for a moment, then let out a long breath, "Okay, wait a moment."

Bai Yusen returned quickly, and also had his secretary quickly draw up two employment contracts.

These were the contracts for hiring superpower users from outside the Bai Family, with very generous benefits, but the risks were relatively high.

It was equivalent to the Bai Family paying to hire superpower users as special bodyguards for the family to deal with superpower users cultivated or hired by hostile forces.

Originally, the contract stipulated obedience to the Bai Family Head’s orders, but Bai Yusen knew Ji Ning wouldn’t agree to that, so he had the secretary delete it.

"Ji Ning, I wish to hire you as a special security consultant for the Bai Family under the Bai Family Head’s name. You won’t be responsible for specific security tasks usually, but when there are special security incidents, we need you to handle them. This is the contract. Take a look and let me know if there’s anything we need to negotiate on."

Bai Yusen pushed the contract in front of Ji Ning with a professional demeanor.

Ji Ning didn’t arrogantly skip reading the contract. Instead, she seriously went through it line by line.

Unlike a group consultant contract, the Bai Family’s contract was meticulously detailed, outlining Ji Ning’s specific responsibilities in special security operations.

Bai Yusen, indeed, as Lin Yuanyang said, was very rational in business matters, not mixing any personal relationships.

"The content is fine, but I can’t adhere to the condition of protecting the Bai Family for at least 12 hours daily and needing to give notice for leave, which cannot exceed five days," Ji Ning pointed to a clause in the contract.

She still had jobs with the Security Bureau, the film crew, and Sun Yazhu, so she couldn’t guarantee this condition.

Bai Yusen naturally knew Ji Ning couldn’t guarantee this clause, but he hadn’t instructed the secretary to delete it, wanting to see how Ji Ning would handle this issue.

"So how do you want to change it?"

After thinking for a while, Ji Ning pointed to the contract, "The leave days restriction needs to be removed, but I can guarantee that when I’m absent, I’ll appoint equally capable superpower users to protect you."

Bai Yusen’s expression shifted, "With powers like yours, a four-system superpower user?"

Ji Ning gave him a look as if he were stupid, "Do you think superpower users like me are common?"

"Then won’t the Bai Family be at a disadvantage?"

"Compensation is flexible; you see, this contract is for full-time, right? You can adjust it to be part-time, with a daily rate."

Bai Yusen: "..."
