CHAPTER 188: CHAPTER 188: WHY IS SHE A LITTLE EXCITED?

Several people left the inpatient building and came to the small garden behind it.

It was quiet and less crowded here.

The two Security Bureau detectives handed the black leather briefcase they were carrying to Ji Ning.

"Hello, I’m Lan Qi, and he’s Lan Shisi. These are your work documents and uniform distributed by the headquarters. Please sign for them."

Ji Ning slightly frowned, "How did you find me?"

The two exchanged a glance, not hiding anything, "The Ye Family divulged your whereabouts while investigating your background. Our director received a notice from the superiors, notifying us to assist you, and we brought these along."

Ji Ning was a bit surprised by their honesty and even more surprised that the higher-ups in the Security Bureau didn’t shy away from the Ye Family investigating her background.

This was quite interesting.

Ji Ning’s eyes flickered with a spark as she took the black leather briefcase and thanked them.

"Do you need any assistance? We can negotiate with the Sun Family!"

"No need, it’s already resolved." Ji Ning thanked them for their goodwill.

It seemed someone had instructed them, as they didn’t stay long, bidding farewell to Ji Ning and quickly disappearing within the hospital.

However, when Ji Ning returned to the inpatient building after being contacted by the two, she suddenly felt the curious gaze from all directions.

Especially from the doctors and nurses in the VIP ward area on the 8th floor.

They had seen Ji Ning walking out with two people in special uniforms and returning unharmed, now carrying a black leather briefcase.

It was astonishing.

They didn’t dare discuss it openly, but whispered among themselves after Ji Ning entered the ward.

"Oh my, is that girl back again?"

"Does she know those superpower users?"

"Obviously, didn’t you see the briefcase those two superpower users handed to her? They must know each other."

"Could she be a superpower user herself?"

"Hard to say, but aren’t superpower users supposed to wear masks? They value their privacy greatly."

"I don’t think she is. Have you ever seen such a delicate superpower user?"

"If she’s a superpower user, can I ask for her autograph?"

...

The tiny whispers of the young nurses were equivalent to discussing right in front of Ji Ning.

She was somewhat helpless.

No wonder superpower users wear masks these days. Living without one would be like living a celebrity’s life, constantly scrutinized by high-powered cameras, with no privacy at all.

Ji Ning pursed her lips and snapped her fingers.

An invisible energy spread through the walls, expanding outward with her at the center...

Ye Tong wasn’t sure what those two wanted with Ji Ning, but she had a vague premonition in her heart that Sister Ning’s superpower user identity might have been exposed.

She glanced at the Feng Family bodyguards standing outside the door and softly called out to Ji Ning: "Sister Ning... Sister Ning..."

Ji Ning looked at her, and Ye Tong dared not say the words superpower user directly, mumbling instead: "Did they... know you are... one of them?"

The wound in Ye Tong’s mouth was healing, allowing her to speak more smoothly now.

Ji Ning nodded slightly and lifted the black leather briefcase in her hand, calmly saying, "I joined the Security Bureau."

"Really? Gasp—"

Ye Tong’s gasp of surprise pulled on her wound, making her frown in pain, yet she couldn’t suppress the excitement and tension bubbling within her heart.

Ji Ning responded with a soft "hmm" and opened the black leather briefcase in front of her.

Inside were two sets of black Security Bureau uniforms, seeming to be autumn and winter styles; a specially made Security Bureau mask in a simple design, but with a series of numbers inside, which should represent her agent identification number.

Additionally, there was a pair of specially made handcuffs with a circle of needle holes on them, and an adjuster beside, which might be used to inject a drug inhibiting superpowers.

Ji Ning glanced at the small medicine bottle beside the handcuffs; there was no need to look closely, it was undoubtedly meant for use with the cuffs.

Finally, there was a small black box, presumably containing a custom-made suppression ring for her.

Ji Ning opened the small box and took out the suppression ring inside.

This suppression ring was unlike any she had seen before, with a vividly carved phoenix on it; it was gold-colored, with red, blue, and green gemstones inlaid in the phoenix’s eyes and feathers.

Ji Ning guessed these gemstones might be indicator lights monitoring a superpower user’s energy release.

"How beautiful..." Ye Tong praised.

Ji Ning glanced at her, "Want to wear it?"

"N... no need..."

Ye Tong’s mouth said refusal, but her eyes kept staring at the phoenix bracelet.

It was truly beautiful...

Ji Ning tossed the suppression ring over, "This thing is called a suppression ring. Suppression as in inhibiting. Once it’s on, it’s hard to take off; you’ll need to return to the Security Bureau to have it removed."

"Ah?" Ye Tong nearly threw the item away in shock.

A suppression ring?

And it can’t be taken off.

Isn’t that just like handcuffs?

Ye Tong frowned and asked, "Can’t I not wear it?"

"You can’t. Superpower users generally have to wear a suppression ring to move in a safe zone." Ji Ning sat on the neighboring bed, preparing to close the case.

"What functions does it have?"

"It monitors the user’s energy output; if it exceeds a certain value, it issues a warning. If the limit is greatly surpassed, it injects a drug inhibiting superpowers into the user’s body."

"This..." Ye Tong looked at the beautiful phoenix suppression ring in her hand, suddenly feeling it was somewhat burdensome, like a shackle binding Ji Ning.

Ji Ning laughed, walking over to take the suppression ring from Ye Tong’s hand, putting it on her own wrist; the green eyes of the phoenix indeed lit up.

Ye Tong heard the faint sound of a lock clicking, her eyes becoming redder as tears began to well up.

Sister Ning must have exposed her superpowers to save her.

Selling herself to the Security Bureau...

Having just admired the suppression ring, Ji Ning saw a pair of tearful rabbit-like eyes, Ye Tong’s sad expression seemed as if she was about to march face the gallows.

"Don’t worry, this thing can’t control me," Ji Ning said helplessly.

Ye Tong sniffled, still somewhat skeptical.

Ji Ning curled her lips into an extremely confident smile, "When someone’s power becomes unrivaled, naturally they can disregard all rules."

Ye Tong’s eyes suddenly widened, and Ji Ning picked up the tissues from the table, placing them beside her, calmly saying, "When there are no rules binding me, then I shall be the rule maker."

Ji Ning’s words were utterly shocking; in Ye Tong’s nineteen years of education, she’d never been taught anything like that.

Stunned into silence for quite a while, but after the shock, she faintly agreed with the idea, feeling a bit excited simultaneously.

Could Sister Ning... truly become the rule maker?

But Ji Ning’s words delivered another powerful blow: "If you become strong enough, you could do the same. Perhaps, someday, you might reform the entertainment industry."

Ye Tong sharply inhaled.

Sister Ning would make a perfect leader of a pyramid scheme.

This brainwashing rhetoric is unmatched.

Yet, why did it excite her a little?

"Ding——"

"Master, Fu Yuanxuan is sending a voice call."

Ji Ning’s ears caught the Smart Brain’s notification.

Ji Ning’s eyebrows slightly rose; after the Ye Family and the Li Family, is it time for the Fu Family to make their entrance too?
