Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot! Chapter 99: Game, Do You Want to Play?

Xing Yue’s face was gloomy, suffocating with frustration. He pointed at him and strode towards the door, slamming it shut.

Watching him leave, Zhang Huaixin seed to breathe a sigh of relief. He plastered a smile back on his face and said graciously, "He’s gone now, let’s continue talking. Xiao Fu trusts you a lot and has ntioned so things about you to . So I want to confirm a few details with you, is that okay?"

Ji Ning nodded slightly, "Go ahead."

"When you fought with them, which parts did you injure the most?"

"Ulna, scapula, lumbar vertebrae, ribs, talus..."

As the parts rolled off Ji Ning’s tongue, Zhang Huaixin’s smile gradually froze, and he finally asked in surprise, "What weapon did you use?"

Ji Ning stretched out her palm and waved it in front of him, saying disdainfully, "Do you think they deserve to be fought with weapons?"

Seeing her so confident, Zhang Huaixin suppressed his doubts and, after pondering for a mont, continued, "Let’s say, hypothetically, just hypothetically, I an no offense. If you were to kill them, how would you do it?"

"I don’t kill people."

Ji Ning said as she leaned forward slightly.

Suddenly—

The empty cup in her hand shattered into powder and slipped through her fingers to the ground.

Zhang Huaixin’s eyes widened instantly, and his throat involuntarily bobbed a few tis.

Instantly, he understood what she ant.

What Ji Ning ant by "not killing people" was not that she didn’t kill, but that the people she killed would never be discovered, thus effectively "not killing."

Ji Ning stood up, clapped her hands, and laughed, "Take to see the body."

Then, Zhang Huaixin led Ji Ning to the temporary morgue.

Two forensic doctors were conducting an autopsy and didn’t stop their work when they entered.

Zhang Huaixin gave Xing Yue a glance, and Xing Yue, impatient, glared at Ji Ning and coughed a couple of tis, "How’s the situation? Is the cause of death clear?"

One of the forensic doctors turned to look at them, stopped working, and said, "The person suffered severe trauma before death, with fractures on the ulna, ribs, and multiple other bones. From the injuries, it seems they were crushed with force..."

This confird what Ji Ning had just said, making it hard for Zhang Huaixin not to believe it, deepening his shock.

Could she really have crushed these people’s bones with her bare hands?

The forensic doctor continued, "But these are only debilitating injuries, not fatal. The real cause of death is the fatal wound in their heart."

"The heart?"

Xing Yue stepped closer, looking at the body in surprise.

The forensic doctor pointed at three tal pieces on a tray beside him, saying, "These are the murder weapons, which will be sent for testing later."

Murdered with tal pieces?

Could it be a superpower user?

Xing Yue’s expression turned much more serious.

On the other side, Zhang Huaixin suddenly rembered what Fu Yuanxuan had said about a superpower user who could manipulate tal, and, shocked, hurriedly walked out, calling for Xing Yue as he went, "Lao Xing, co with ."

"What about her?" Xing Yue pointed at Ji Ning.

Zhang Huaixin imdiately said, "Ji Ning, I’ll have soone take you back later. As it happens, Xiao Fu wants to take you around nearby..."

"Lao Zhang—"

Zhang Huaixin turned back to give Xing Yue a warning look.

***

In the dormitory, Bai Xiaotang was imagining all the worst scenarios.

She was so scared she couldn’t sit still, pacing around the dormitory, not daring to tell anyone.

Lin Yuanyang, overwheld by the dizziness, pushed up his glasses and spoke first, "Don’t worry, Sister Ning is fine."

"How can she be fine? That’s..."

Lin Yuanyang gave her a sidelong glance and directly pointed out her concern, "Even if Sister Ning had a confrontation with them last night, she wouldn’t take a life."

"How... how do you know?"

Bai Xiaotang blurted out in shock, freezing in place.

Lin Yuanyang nodded at Smart Brain, "Sister Ning is out, she’s asking us to co over."

In the four-person group chat.

Ji Ning, who rarely spoke, surprisingly sent two ssages.

[Ning: Ye Tong, send your location.]

[Ning: You two co to the base entrance.]

***

In the car.

Bai Xiaotang had been wanting to ask Ji Ning about what had happened earlier, but with Fu Yuanxuan being the driver, she could only sit there nervously, feeling like there was a little rabbit jumping around in her chest, unable to sit still.

Ji Ning was playing a ga, and she turned to give her a side look, "I’ve got superpowers now, aren’t you playing..."

"Screech—Screech—"

The car suddenly ca to a halt, nearly throwing everyone forward from inertia.

Fu Yuanxuan turned directly around, staring intently at Ji Ning’s face, urgently asking, "What superpower?"

Bai Xiaotang clutched her bumped forehead, glanced at the empty road ahead, and glared angrily at Fu Yuanxuan.

Ji Ning raised an eyebrow and held up her phone, "Ga, do you want to play?"

Fu Yuanxuan was taken aback, realizing he had misunderstood.

Awkwardly, he turned back around and resud driving, the background sounds and special effects of the ga filling the car.

No words were exchanged along the way.

The film set where Ye Tong was located wasn’t far from the base, only a 20-minute drive away.

There was a resort here, and the houses inside were all hostays available for rent, built with distinctive features.

The surrounding environnt was scenic, nestled between mountains and water, with the famous morial of Jiuming Mountain nearby, allowing them to shoot many outdoor scenes here.

The crew of "Gone with the Wind" had booked the entire resort for all the actors and staff to stay.

In order to protect the privacy of the actors and prevent paparazzi from following them, there were guards at the entrance of the resort, and even a cordon was set up.

Only Feng Zhong could pull off sothing like this with his resources; other directors probably couldn’t even secure a resort.

On set, Feng Zhong was on the phone with an old classmate, his face smiling, looking as if he were asking for help.

"Lao Li, can’t you be more accommodating? We just want to shoot a few establishing shots near the cetery, we definitely won’t cause you any trouble."

The male voice on the phone sounded apologetic, "Class monitor, this ti it’s really not possible. If you’d asked a few days earlier, I could’ve made the decision, but the higher-ups have issued orders recently, and no one is allowed near the cetery. We’ve even set up a cordon. Perhaps you can co back to shoot later."

"How much later?"

"Hard to say. We’re just following orders. Class monitor, it’s really not that I don’t want to help you. How about this? As soon as we get the green light, I’ll notify you right away."

...

The assistant nearby, seeing Feng Zhong hang up the phone with a long face, cautiously asked, "Director Feng, should we skip shooting this scene?"

"No way! This scene is the essence of the entire film, it has to be shot!"

"But Wang Yanyan’s schedule..."

"You go coordinate with her!"

On the other side.

In the actors’ lounge, Wang Yanyan’s assistant hung up the phone angrily, muttering, "Director Feng is so unreasonable. Yanyan is an actress, not his possession. We had already arranged for ti off, how could it change so suddenly?"

Wang Yanyan’s face looked a bit troubled, pulling her assistant aside to ask softly, "What’s going on?"

"Tomorrow’s scene can’t be shot due to location issues, and the exact timing for reshoot depends on the notice from the base. So Director Feng wants us to stay for a few more days. But we’ve already committed to the brand event, which is really important, we can’t miss it! I’ll call Sister Xu now."

The assistant imdiately left the lounge with her phone, but Wang Yanyan’s mood didn’t improve.

This brand event would be attended by nurous industry bigwigs, and it was rumored that the president of Xingyu Group would also be present. If she could establish a connection with this mogul, her rise to the top tier would be within reach, so she had to attend at all costs.

Just then, Ye Tong walked in after finishing her scene, and Wang Yanyan imdiately thought of a possibility. Her gloominess vanished, and she bead, "Ye Tong, how are you feeling? Tired? I heard you’ve been on wires all day, did you get hurt?"
