Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot! Chapter 72: Why Are You Following Her?

"Hmm? Sister Ning, where did you go?" Ye Tong, still groggy, opened one eye and looked at the woman who had just entered.

Originally, they were supposed to take the train to leave, but Ji Ning, for so unknown reason, decided to stay for another day. So, they changed their plans and booked a room at a hotel near the train station.

Ji Ning took off her coat, looked at her, and said softly, "Go to sleep, you’re dreaming."

Ye Tong imdiately closed her eyes and fell back into a deep sleep.

Ji Ning went to the bathroom, took a cold shower, and looked at herself in the mirror.

The reflection showed her hair, once short enough to graze her ears, now reaching her shoulders. Her once thin face gradually gained so flesh, and her slender body had filled out a bit.

She hadn’t changed drastically, but she looked healthier than before.

If her three little brothers were still alive, they probably wouldn’t recognize her at a glance.

"Bzzz bzzz bzzz—"

A vibrating sound ca from the phone by the sink.

Several lines of text appeared on the screen:

[What are you doing with the Hunter?]

Ji Ning picked up the phone, turned her back to the sink, and pressed the voice button: "Got a mission, will you take it?"

There was no reply for a while.

Ji Ning’s lips curled up slightly, but she didn’t mind, and picked up a towel to dry her hair.

After a mont, the phone suddenly rang.

Ji Ning pressed the answer button, and a cold female voice ca through: "How do you know I’m the Hunter?"

"I can heal your internal injuries." Ji Ning didn’t answer, instead, she said sothing completely unrelated.

The other side was silent for a mont.

"What’s the condition?"

"I need detailed information on a few superpower users."

"Alright. When are you coming back?"

"In two days."

...

***

In the morning, as the first ray of sunlight stread through the curtain gaps into the room, Ye Tong suddenly sat up and quickly looked at the bed beside her. Seeing Ji Ning still asleep, she hurried to shake her, "Sister Ning, quick, wake up, we need to catch the train."

Ji Ning frowned, opened her eyes with an impatient expression, and got dressed slowly under Ye Tong’s urging.

When the two of them were the first to reach the station’s entry gate, Ye Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Alright, Sister Ning, you queue here, I’ll go buy breakfast."

Ji Ning yawned, squinting slightly to look at a certain seat.

A man wearing a baseball cap and a mask was sitting on the chair.

His gaze followed Ye Tong the whole ti, and when he saw her head to a nearby small supermarket, he lowered his head and said sothing into an earpiece.

After a while, Ye Tong ca back with a bag of Bao Zi and milk, "Sister Ning, the supermarket only had these Bao Zi, and they’re not all at-filled. Just make do, and I’ll make so for you when we get ho."

Ji Ning wasn’t picky. She took the Bao Zi and ate them in big bites, three to four bites per one, finishing eight in a row.

Ye Tong handed her a carton of milk, nibbling on her Bao Zi.

With an hour and a half left before the train arrived, Ji Ning checked the ti and glanced at the nearby security caras, then walked straight to where the man was seated.

The man, seeing her approach, lowered his cap slightly and tried to get up and leave, but his path was blocked by soone.

"Where are you going?"

The man’s expression tightened, and he was ready to run, but before he could take a step forward, his body was forcefully grabbed, and with a swift move, he was fiercely flipped to the ground.

He didn’t get up for a long ti.

From not far away, Ye Tong’s eyes widened. She originally thought Sister Ning was just going to find a seat to rest for a while, but unexpectedly, she perford an over-the-shoulder throw on soone right away.

"Sister... Sister Ning..."

"Why are you following her?" Ji Ning grabbed the man’s collar and pointed at the visibly stunned Ye Tong.

The man vehently denied it, shouting and yelling, "What do you an following? How can you hit people for no reason? Soone co, soone is hitting people..."

It was a bit past 6 in the morning, and there weren’t many people in the waiting hall, but so were drawn to the commotion.

Ye Tong quickly put down the Bao Zi and jogged over, shouting as she ran, "You disgusting stalker, you followed us since yesterday at the hotel, and now you’re here too? Sister Ning beating you is well deserved, and you dare to fra us? Do you want us to take you to the police right now?"

Ji Ning looked up at Ye Tong in surprise.

She hadn’t expected this silly girl to notice as well.

Ye Tong imdiately gave her a reassuring look: Relax, Sister Ning, I’ve got a handle on acting.

Then she forced her eyes to redden, looking tearfully at the people around, "It’s our first ti leaving our house to visit relatives, and I can’t believe we ran into such a thing. Thankfully, my sister knows martial arts, otherwise, who knows how this scumbag would have bullied us? And now he followed us to the train station... boohoo..."

People around saw Ye Tong crying so pitifully, they imdiately changed their expressions and didn’t listen to the man’s explanations, rushing forward to help Ji Ning restrain the man.

"You disgusting stalker, dare to co here and cause trouble?"

"Don’t worry, little girl, there are so many of us here, go on, call the police. We’ll testify for you."

Ye Tong wiped her eyes, glanced at Ji Ning, saw her picking up the man’s phone which had fallen on the ground and seemingly operating it, and continued, "Thank you, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters. I’ll call the police right away."

The man, seeing Ye Tong pull out a phone, panicked, yelling, "Call the police for what? She’s my wife. What’s illegal about following my wife? Let go..."

This statent left everyone stunned, imdiately turning their eyes toward Ye Tong.

Ye Tong shook her head quickly, "I don’t know him... Could he be a human trafficker?"

"Bullshit, your na is Ye Tong, you’re the girl from Ye Laosan’s family in Dahe Bay Town. Half a year ago, your family had a matchmaker set us up, and I paid a 20,000 yuan dowry. But your family didn’t admit it and married you off to soone else. Your family’s a bunch of marriage scamrs, conning out of my money..."

As the man spoke, Ye Tong’s face turned pale instantly, filled with panic, her body trembling slightly, almost unable to stand, "No... you’re lying... I... I didn’t scam anyone..."

Released by the crowd, the man saw people starting to doubt Ye Tong, a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes. He tore off his mask with a sneer, "You little brat, your family not only scams marriages but also conned out of my money. If it wasn’t for wanting the person, not the money, I would have reported to the police long ago. You still want to call the police on ? Do you believe I’ll break your leg?"

The man had a scar on his right cheek, which looked particularly sinister when he got aggressive.

Ye Tong imdiately recalled events from half a year ago, backing away in fear, tears welling up more and more, "Don’t... don’t co near..."

Ji Ning’s eyes turned sharp, she imdiately stood in front of Ye Tong, kicking out a leg.

The man who had just managed to stand was knocked down again, crying out in pain, cursing, "I’m calling the police, I’m definitely calling the police. You filthy bz, I’ll kill you... ah—"

A black sneaker stomped on his back, nearly breaking his spine.

Imdiately, a hand grabbed his hair, lifting his head up, forcing him to twist his neck to look behind.

Only to et a pair of icy eyes.

"So you paid for her?"
