A century after retirement, a post-apocalyptic tycoon is forced to find new employment.

Chapter 306 I have already told you the reason

"She said she wanted to live openly and openly among the crowd, rather than serve as Experiment 7374 and become someone's substitute."

Ji Ning glanced at everyone in the room and said this calmly.

The expressions of the seven people in the conference room changed slightly, some were surprised, some were thoughtful, some were nervous, but there was no pity.

The group of people in front of them who have been in high positions for a long time may have long been accustomed to the death of life.

Ji Ning was silent for a moment and continued to ask: "So whose substitute is she? And who made her a substitute?"

The office was deathly quiet.

The senior security officials' expressions had calmed down at this time, and they looked at Ji Ning with scrutiny.

Xiao Shun, who was sitting next to her, had sweat on his forehead. If possible, he really seemed to have fainted.

He was almost frightened to death by his team leader's question.

The seven people in front of them are the giants who control the Huazhou Security Department, and they are the most well-informed.

The team leader dared to ask such a question that was not afraid of death. He is worthy of being a descendant of that person...

So cool! ! !
Xiao Shun suppressed the tension and excitement in his heart, gripped the corners of his clothes hard, held his breath, and pricked up his ears, trying to hear what these people said more clearly.

But no one in the room answered for a long time.

It wasn't until Ji Ning chuckled that a leader took the lead and said, "Agent Ji, we'll discuss this later. The key question now is why did she suddenly lose control and attack the passenger ship?"

Ji Ning looked at him. The man who spoke did not have any supernatural powers on his body. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face. He was the deputy minister in charge of regional security in eastern China.

The ocean where Ji Hong's accident occurred happened to be within his jurisdiction.

"I've already told you the reason."

"Agent Ji, how can that be the reason?" A slight smile appeared on the man's face, but his eyes were sharp.

Ji Ning looked directly into his eyes and asked coldly: "If this is not the reason, then what is the reason?"

"I heard that Agent Ji, you are still a high-level spiritual power user, right? It should be easy to control other people's minds..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Linhai suddenly interrupted him, "Wenzhong, you may not understand the situation on the ship at that time. Ji Hong was very conscious when she attacked the passenger ship, and Agent Ji was in order to prevent the tsunami she caused. Made a move with her on the boat."

"Linhai, sometimes the victim may be the perpetrator. Who knows if he was silenced to hide something?"

The man named Wen Zhong had a "speaking from experience" smile on his face.

Ji Ning chuckled and said calmly: "If I wanted to kill her, grass would have grown on her grave now."

"But you still killed her..." Wen Zhong seemed to be holding on to Ji Ning.

Li Wenxin, who was in the first place, frowned slightly and glanced at him, "There is no evidence, so some words need to be cautious."

Wen Zhong turned to look at Li Wenxin and said with a smile on his face: "Minister Li, I just want to know something. I don't think Agent Ji cares about these ordinary questions, right?"

Seeing that he wanted to pour dirty water on herself, Ji Ning asked, "Are you the mastermind behind controlling Ji Hong to attack the passenger ship?"

Wen Zhong was stunned and immediately denied: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"You're nervous."

"Who's nervous?"

"Your eyes are slightly open and your breathing rate is erratic. It means that the question I just asked has touched upon something you want to hide in your heart. In fact, you are probably the mastermind behind the repeated destruction of relations between China and California."

"What are you talking about?" Wen Zhong was a little angry.

"You knew Ji Hong's identity very well, so you used her to get close to the Lane family and wanted her to be used as a scapegoat for the murder of Californian diplomats. You, the mastermind behind the scenes, can easily destroy the diplomatic relations between California and China. , brought a negative impact to Huazhou, and also ruined the 120th anniversary celebration of Anhe..."

"Shut up! What are you talking about?"

After Wen Zhong felt the suspicious eyes of his colleagues in the room, he slammed the table hard in anger and glared at Ji Ning with wide eyes.

"Agent Ji, there is a law in Huazhou that deals with the act of falsely accusing others. I think you should take a good look at it."

"I'm just making assumptions based on your behavior. I don't think Minister Wen cares about these ordinary speculations, right?"

"you……"

Wen Zhong was choked by Ji Ning and stared at her for a long time. Ji Ning was too lazy to pay attention to him and looked at Li Wenxin, "Ji Hong said something before she was ready to die together. If she doesn't let her live, they will all die. Who doesn't want her to live? That one What is the person’s purpose? Is there any connection with the person behind the bomb installation on the ship? That’s the point, right?”

Under the night, the sea is invisible.

Several fishing boats turned on their searchlights, like tiny fireflies shining faintly in the forest.

"Brother Shen, can you please be accurate? What kind of treasure did Second Master want us to look for here so late? We've been looking for two fucking hours...ah...ahshee...it's so damn cold..."

The night at sea was very cold, and the sea breeze made several people on the fishing boat shrink their hands from the cold.

"Stop talking nonsense and look for it quickly! The coordinates given by the second master are this sea area."

"Then why don't you look for it during the day? Looking for something on the sea at night, just with this light, looking for a fur ball? You're not afraid of attracting female ghosts to collect debts..."

"Damn you, what ghost stories are you telling me this late at night?"

"Hahaha...men like to tell stories at night, do you want to listen..." The man laughed, teasing the timid companion next to him.

Sudden--

Under the searchlight, a dark shadow appeared on the water.

Brother Shen, who had been carefully observing the water, interrupted the threatening man with a "pop" and said into the intercom: "Turn off the engine."

Soon, the advancing fishing boat stopped and swayed with the waves.

There was no sound of the engine, and the surrounding sea was eerily quiet. The man who had laughed just now swallowed nervously with his tight throat, and carefully put his head out.

"Brother Shen, what's wrong?"

He looked at Brother Shen who was two steps away from him, moving the searchlight to shine on the water under the boat.

"Shhh - there's something in the water. It's not a fish..."

The man's pupils widened instantly, his scalp was numb with fear, and his voice trembled, "What...what...thing?"

When the searchlight found the back in the water again, the man had already jumped behind Brother Shen, screaming in a distorted voice: "Ah-ah-ghost-"

I saw that the black shadow in the water had revealed half of its head, and its dark hair covered its entire face...

Brother Shen was a veteran at sea, and he was frightened by the sudden appearance of people in the sea. However, he did not scream uncontrollably like the younger brother behind him, but the hand that controlled the searchlight trembled slightly, and his legs were a little light.

The man in the sea raised his wet hands and pulled back the wig covering his eyes, revealing a face that had been soaked in sea water for a long time and was pale and bloodless.

Just as he was about to ask, he heard a loud "boom--" and the fishing boat shook three times.

"..."

I'm going out with my baby for a day tomorrow, and I don't have time to code during the day, so I might not be able to catch up with the 23:00 update. The update will be postponed to the early morning
