Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 441 - 436: Beijing Training Camp (Part 14)

Chapter 441: Chapter 436: Beijing Training Camp (Part 14)

Cao Zonghai was taken aback, suddenly feeling overwhelmed and honored.

His mind was a bit dizzy, and his body felt weightless.

He quickly stood up and followed the senior leader out.

Beside him, Chang Ru masked the envy in her eyes, feeling very unbalanced inside.

Cao Zonghai was simply relying on having a good background.

Others might not know, but she knew the relationship between the Li Family and the Gu Family, so the Cao Family indirectly had familial ties with the Li Family.

Inside the room, following the departure of Li Wenxin and others, the atmosphere relaxed quite a bit.

Accompanied by senior detectives and Red Group members brought by Li Wenxin and the head of the Special Ability Team, they quickly took away a row of people by the wall, leaving the room once again empty.

Cao Zonghai’s underlings didn’t know what to do at this moment, and all looked towards Chang Ru.

"Sister Ru, should we stay here and wait for Brother Hai?"

A flash of brilliance flickered through Chang Ru’s eyes, "They might take a long time. Let’s check on Zong Ming instead for Mr. Cao."

The underlings thought it made sense, and followed Chang Ru out of the office.

Meanwhile.

In the meeting room, upon entering, Cao Zonghai noticed Li Wenxin did not sit at the head of the table, but instead chose to sit at a secondary seat on the side.

The masked man sat beside him.

They both waited for Ji Ning to take her seat.

He didn’t dare sit at the table, instead leaning against the wall like the head and another masked woman, casually finding a chair to sit on.

Ji Ning was the last to enter, glanced at them, and also didn’t sit at the head, but opposite Li Wenxin. She tapped the table, turned to look at the three not sitting at the table.

"Come and sit."

The three cautiously sat at Ji Ning’s side, not daring to sit close to her, leaving two seats empty.

"Show them the surveillance," Ji Ning pointed to the head.

The head hurriedly fumbled around to find the remote, trembling as he turned on the Smart Brain screen in the meeting room.

The surveillance footage was infrared video shot in a pitch-black environment.

Though the environment was completely dark, the movements of two students could be seen, and their voices heard.

Upon hearing his own brother’s screams, Cao Zonghai’s chest hurt fiercely, his fingers clenching into a fist.

He shot a glare towards the back of the head’s neck.

If it weren’t for the big shots sitting inside the room, he would have wanted to hit someone in fury.

Then the training stopped a dozen minutes later, and Cao Zongming was carried out of the training area.

The head glanced back at Ji Ning, seeing her silent, didn’t dare to presumptuously pause the video.

Until a certain scene appeared in the surveillance footage, Ji Ning suddenly spoke.

"Pause."

The head hurriedly pressed the pause button.

"Rewind a bit... stop."

The image paused on the action of a blurry figure bending over seeming to tie shoelaces.

"This is one of the suspects using fishing line instead of her blade. Magnified, you can see her hand slicing the ground. The soil contains Cao Zongming’s spilled blood."

The head, secretly startled, quickly magnified the frame and indeed saw the teacher’s finger slicing the ground, but her actions were quick, overlooked if not viewed frame by frame.

A-level Security Department detective, this eye for detail is sharper than a hawk.

"Switch to another."

The head promptly played the next video segment.

The meeting room was silent, except for occasional sounds from the surveillance video.

And Ji Ning occasionally pausing.

When all surveillance videos finished playing, the Special Ability Team captain’s face was as black as a pot bottom.

That Green Group member was truly a fool to the core.

Left evidence throughout the whole process and complacently thought no one would connect her?

Even without the teacher’s testimony, she couldn’t escape.

Ji Ning crossed her arms, leaned back against the chair, stared directly at the masked captain, "Come on, how would you resolve this?"

The captain pursed his lips, looked at Li Wenxin.

Li Wenxin was silent for a moment, looked toward Ji Ning, "This time’s intentional injury case is severe. All superpower users involved will be uniformly filed by the Security Department’s special division, with the Special Ability Team assisting. Ordinary people will be filed by the local police station, and those involved from public positions will be handled by the Huazhou Alliance..."

Ji Ning ignored Li Wenxin’s arrangement for the involved personnel, directly saying, "I’ll handle Meng Chang."

Li Wenxin hesitated momentarily, directly rejecting without thinking, "No way, he’s a senior..."

"Then I’ll interrogate him."

"You..."

Ji Ning’s voice turned a bit colder before he could speak, "I’m not asking for your consent, I’m notifying you."

Li Wenxin froze, his expression was very unpleasant.

The Special Ability Team captain wanted to say something, but when seeing Ji Ning’s gaze sweeping over, swallowed his words back down.

Li Wenxin tried persuading Ji Ning, "This doesn’t comply with regulations, after all, you’re not holding a position in the alliance..."

"Then let me comply with regulations. This trivial matter shouldn’t be beyond your capabilities, right?"

Li Wenxin: ...

In the room, no one dared to even breathe, is this something at their level to hear?

The head and Cao Zonghai wished they had no ears at this moment, or could stab their earholes.

The meeting room fell into an eerie silence again.

Until Ji Ning stood up, issued the final notification, "I’ll give you two hours to consider. By then, I want to see a normal Meng Chang. Otherwise, you won’t want to see what my wrath looks like. And tell Fu Ninghao, don’t play mind games..."

Everyone: ...

***

In the backyard of a high-end nursing home in Beijing, the trees had all been renewed, lush with greenery everywhere.

A gentle breeze brought a bit of chill.

An elderly sitting by the edge of an artificial lake, dialed a number with a face full of gloom.

"How did the talk go?"

"It’s finished."

"Bang—"

The fishing rod in the elderly’s hand instantly snapped.

An abruptly breaking voice rang out.

"In 2 hours, no, in 1 hour I want to talk to him personally, hear that, personally!"

The confidant was shocked, quickly instructed the subordinates to stop.

Did he misinterpret?

Meng Chang never thought he would be saved one day by the person who always targeted him.

Training camp living area.

Cao Zongming looked unpleasantly at the woman before him, biting his lip and asking, "Where’s my brother?"

Chang Ru appeared carefree, as if watching a joke, said, "Your brother went to a meeting, asked us to check on you."

"You’re here to laugh at me?" Cao Zongming saw through Chang Ru’s intentions at once, asked coldly.

Chang Ru’s face lifted a slight smile, "Why would I? I never interfere with others’ choices, merely give suggestions." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Cao Zongming sneered, "Your prophecy wasn’t very accurate, was it? Saying I’d be injured by someone close to Bai Xiaotang, but the person who injured me has nothing to do with Bai Xiaotang. Your low-grade subterfuge is truly disgusting."

Chang Ru’s smile froze.

Cao Zongming continued his sarcasm, "You certainly didn’t guess that in this contest, Lin Yuanyang and Bai Xiaotang both participated. And they’re not like before; they’re legitimate contestants, genuinely joining the training."

Chang Ru’s fleeting shock on her face immensely pleased Cao Zongming.

"Don’t believe it? Hahaha... You can ask your cousin yourself."

Cao Zongming watched the spectacle unfolding before her, also shouted at the group approaching not far away, "Bai Xiaotang, your cousin came to visit you."
