Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!
Chapter 189: New Roommate
CHAPTER 189: CHAPTER 189: NEW ROOMMATE
Anhe Jiuming Mountain Base.
After receiving a call from the Fu Family, Fu Yuanxuan’s expression immediately tightened.
Ji Ning actually joined the Security Bureau.
And joined as a superpower user with three abilities.
If the base belongs to the Fu Family, and the research institute to the Ye Family, then the Security Bureau is the Li Family’s power.
Ji Ning actually joined the Li Family without a sound.
This was beyond his expectations.
Even caught him off guard.
A three-ability superpower user slipped right under his nose—was it his bad luck, or was she inherently a Li Family member?
Fu Yuanxuan pondered for a long time before calling Ji Ning.
It wasn’t to question her, but about another matter.
"Ji Ning, my grandfather will be coming to Anhe for the 120th anniversary celebration at the end of the year. I will arrange for you to meet then."
Ji Ning was a bit surprised, her lips slightly curved up, "Okay."
"You..." Fu Yuanxuan wanted to ask her why she joined the Security Bureau, wasn’t coming to the base better?
But the words took a detour in his mouth and were swallowed back.
He finally said, "The relationships within the Beijing Security Bureau are intricate and full of factions, be careful. My third uncle is in the Security Department, if anything comes up, I can..."
"No need, thank you." Ji Ning directly refused.
Fu Yuanxuan felt a bit blocked, "I thought we were friends."
Ji Ning looked out the window and said lightly, "There are many kinds of friends, some are allies, some are life-and-death partners, and some are just drinking buddies, we seem to be neither..."
Fu Yuanxuan felt even more blocked; to stick his neck out like Feng Lei was beyond him, he hastily hung up the phone.
Ji Ning didn’t mind his sensitive feelings as the son of a proud family, she looked at Ye Tong and said, "After you terminate your contract with Jia Ying, you need to re-sign with the ’War God’ crew. I’ll return to Anhe in a couple of days to sign for you. We’ll need a power of attorney between us, for now, I’ll be acting as your artist assistant."
Ye Tong wished for a deeper relationship with Ji Ning.
She nodded repeatedly without thinking, and even said, "Isn’t an assistant... underutilized... Sister Ning... can be a manager... or a boss?"
Ji Ning gave her a sidelong glance, "Do you want me to open a company for you?"
"Hehehe... If you’re willing, that’s okay too..."
Without paying her any heed, Ji Ning brought up another matter, "Do you want to go back to Anhe to recover?"
Ye Tong nodded again, Sister Ning still needs to go to school and definitely can’t stay in Sea City for long.
She didn’t want to be alone in this unfamiliar city, it was best to return to Anhe together with Sister Ning.
"Yes... I want to go back to Anhe..."
Very soon, the Feng Family brothers heard that Ji Ning was preparing to take Ye Tong back to Anhe.
They immediately rushed from the hotel to try to persuade them to stay a little longer.
When Feng Yu saw Ji Ning, his face was filled with undisguised urgency: "Sister Ning, Sea City is a first-tier city after all, medical facilities are comprehensive, doctors are highly skilled; letting Miss Ye stay a bit longer would be more beneficial for recovery."
Ji Ning’s expression was calm, "No need, she’s almost healed."
Feng Yu immediately thought of her healing ability, his expression somewhat embarrassed, "But... the Sun Family hasn’t completely withdrawn yet."
"Don’t worry, they dare not object."
Feng Yu was completely out of reasons, and looked to Feng Lei for help.
Feng Lei also didn’t want Ye Tong to return to Anhe so early, but he honestly had no position to interfere.
Previously, Ji Ning had asked him for help in finding someone and promised him a reward, though not yet redeemed, Ji Ning wouldn’t go back on her word.
Thus, there wasn’t enough rapport between them for him to stop Ji Ning’s decision.
"Is there contact with any hospitals in Anhe?"
Feng Lei’s words surprised Feng Yu greatly.
Hey hey... that’s not what we discussed before setting out.
Weren’t we supposed to persuade them to stay?
Why did he suddenly change his tone?
No matter how Feng Yu tried to signal, Feng Lei acted as if he didn’t see and said to Ji Ning, "I know a few good private hospitals; they also have chain hospitals in Anhe, I can help make contacts."
Thinking of Ye Tong’s body, Ji Ning nodded slightly in agreement.
It’s not that she was stingy with using her superpower to heal her, but Ye Tong needed to still have injuries to coerce the Sun Family into sending Sun Liguo to the police.
Most people in the world sympathize with the weak, even when the weak person is a villain.
Therefore, no matter how nefarious Sun Liguo’s actions, when he became a vegetable, Ye Zhiqiu still urged Ji Ning to be magnanimous.
That’s why, these past few days, instead of continuing to heal Ye Tong, she used her superpower to slow Ye Tong’s natural recovery, just waiting for Sun Liguo to awaken.

Anhe City.
Bai Xiaotang was very surprised to see Huang Ying in the video call.
Because Huang Ying was holding a suitcase and a large backpack on her back.
She looked as if she was moving house.
"Instructor Ying..."
Huang Ying’s expression was natural, she replied, "Ji Ning asked me to move here."
Bai Xiaotang was stunned for a moment, then quickly pressed the permissions for the building’s door and elevator.
A few minutes later, Huang Ying appeared at Bai Xiaotang’s doorstep with her luggage.
"Sorry for the disturbance over the next few days. May I ask which room I’ll be staying in?" Huang Ying’s voice was as cold and hard as ever.
Bai Xiaotang nervously pointed upstairs.
"There’s a guest room free on the second floor..."
"Thank you."
When not around Ji Ning, Huang Ying maintained a certain distance with others, combined with her military background, she carried a certain aura of decisive force that was different from ordinary people; even though she tried to restrain this aura, it still intimidated others.
Ji Ning said she hadn’t mastered it yet.
Huang Ying knew herself she didn’t have Ji Ning’s level of detachment.
Bai Xiaotang didn’t follow her upstairs but instead ran to Lin Yuanyang’s room on the first floor, saying with lingering fear, "Xiao Yang, Instructor Ying has arrived. Sister Ning told her to stay here long-term. Why didn’t I receive any notice?"
As she finished speaking, Bai Xiaotang received a call from her brother.
"Tangtang, my old classmate teaches at Anhe Middle School, she happens to be moving recently, so I arranged for her to stay for a while. Is that okay?"
Bai Xiaotang was stunned, exchanged a glance with Lin Yuanyang, and replied in disbelief, "Is it... Instructor Ying Huang?"
"Yes, it’s her. I heard your relationship is quite good, so I took the liberty to arrange it. Is it convenient? If not, I’ll find her another place."
"Ah... it’s convenient... But how did you know Instructor Ying from school? I didn’t know." Bai Xiaotang asked.
The signal was poor where Bai Yusen was, the voice suddenly had a bit of static, and cut off before he could finish.
Lying in bed, Lin Yuanyang pushed his glasses and covered the knowing look in his eyes, while still typing on the Smart Brain screen on his lap, he said, "Instructor Ying is about the same age as your brother, probably not very close, so he didn’t mention it."
Ying Huang coming is definitely suggested by Sister Ning and Brother Yusen.
Although Bai Xiaotang and Lin Yuanyang encountered trouble in Beijing and returned to Anhe, it doesn’t guarantee peace, but Ji Ning can’t be with them all the time, so she certainly mentioned Ying Huang with great combat power to Bai Yusen.
For their safety, Bai Yusen would certainly agree to let Ying Huang move in.
But the odd thing is, why did Ying Huang say it was Ji Ning who asked her to come, not Bai Yusen?
