Chapter 123: Genius
Zhang Nan nags like an old woman, "But she has her parents to take care of her, so you don't need to worry. As for you, only I can take care of you."

Jian Ning coaxed her, "I know, Nan Nan is the best to me."

Zhang Nan pursed his lips, forcibly suppressing a smile, and gave her a lecturing look: "Good that you know, but you can't do it again. Your life is more important to me than anything else."

"Okay, okay." Jian Ning nodded in agreement.

Zhang Nan said, "Okay, your throat might still be sore. Talk less and rest for the next few days."

Jian Ning nodded and remained silent.

The scene quickly turned into Zhang Nan, the head of the teaching department, giving a speech first, followed by a dose of inspirational life advice.

Jian Ning listened obediently.

Later, Zhang Nan said he was thirsty, so he gulped down several mouthfuls of water and drank it all.

"I'll go outside and get another glass of water."

Zhang Nan took a cup and went outside the ward to get some water.

Jian Ning finally had a moment to see the message that popped up from the system.

[You have located the demonic cultivators' lair and rescued the sect's disciples.]

[A prodigy! Demonic cultivators are bloodthirsty, ruthless, and utterly inhuman, and their missions are fraught with danger. It's unbelievable that you, a mere Qi Refining Stage 2 cultivator, could face so many demonic cultivators without flinching, and even successfully breach their stronghold in such a short time. The inspectors who previously held reservations about you now look at you with newfound respect.]

The reward spell "Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission" has been issued.

Jian Ning: "..."

Actually, the mission wasn't particularly dangerous.

If she were truly a demonic cultivator, she would definitely be dead. This is just another bug in the system.

The system classified all criminals as demonic cultivators.

Having gotten used to the system's erratic behavior, Jian Ning wasn't surprised and focused on the new technique in her mind—the Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission.

The technique of transmitting sound over a thousand miles is similar in meaning to its name.

All Jian Ning needs to do is concentrate and silently recite the appearance of the person she needs to convey the message to, and her words will transform into an invisible wave of spiritual energy that will reach the other person's ears at an extremely fast speed.

Moreover, such sound transmission is private, and others cannot detect or eavesdrop on it.

This technique can be used for emergency calls for help, transmitting important information, etc.

This is only the initial stage of the technique. At the intermediate stage, it can transmit sound to multiple people simultaneously. After further refinement, the advanced stage can even transmit sound across the boundaries of time and space.

Jian Ning suddenly thought of Su Yufeng.

Teacher Su is from the cultivation world. If she could improve her skills to a higher level, wouldn't she be able to send a telepathic message to Teacher Su?

It would be even better if I could have a conversation with Teacher Su.

Jian Ning thought that this way she wouldn't have to wait for the system reward in vain, and could directly ask Teacher Su to take online classes.

She was quite happy about it until she saw that high-level telepathic communication required at least a Golden Core cultivation level, at which point she gave up.

In this modern place where spiritual energy is scarce, she should be grateful that she was able to cultivate to the second level of Qi Refining.

She still relies on completing tasks and receiving rewards from the system, which is more practical.

Suddenly, the ward door was pushed open from the outside.

Jian Ning thought it was Zhang Nan returning with water, but when she looked up she saw Fu Sheng, with a colleague behind him.

When Fu Sheng saw that she was awake, his heavy expression relaxed as if he had breathed a sigh of relief, and he smiled and said, "You're finally awake."

Jian Ning remembered that he was the one who stopped her in the end and said, "Thank you." Fu Sheng shook his head: "There's no need for such formalities between us."

His colleague behind him placed the fruit basket and flowers he was carrying next to him and explained, "These were delivered by everyone in the police station. Although it rained that day, we were able to escape thanks to Xiaobai's help."

Jian Ning glanced at the fruit basket that was usually used when visiting patients, but instead of fruit, it was filled with cat treats.

She laughed and said, "If Xiaobai saw these, he would be overjoyed."

Upon hearing this, the colleague, whose face had been tense, scratched his head in shame. "Actually, we were quite upset with you at first. You made Captain Fu change the route without our permission, and we had to urgently transfer people, but we weren't manpower enough. However, it turns out that you did find the people faster than us, and you used your abilities to save so many innocent lives."

As for the ability mentioned, it is, of course, the ability that Jian Ning told Fu Sheng about—the ability to understand her own cat's speech.

Fu Sheng spoke up at the right moment: "Only Xiao Liu and I know about this for now, so you don't need to worry. Xiao Liu is the person I trust the most."

Jian Ning nodded and asked, "Have all the bad guys been caught?"

Fu Sheng said, "Yes, most of the people who escaped have been captured alive. According to their confessions, these people are from an organization codenamed R11. They not only traffic women but also engage in underground organ trafficking. Besides spending their own money, they also use it to buy accounts in China to spread inflammatory messages. In essence, they are a spy group that is being maintained here by foreign forces. Some of them joined voluntarily because they couldn't earn money on a regular basis."

After listening, Jian Ning shook her head slightly.

I never expected that saving Xiao Wu would lead to the uncovering of such a criminal gang.

Fu Sheng's expression gradually turned serious as he continued, "This abandoned factory was just one of its branches. According to their confession, other countries have already discovered that something is wrong with you, and they want to capture you to extract information from you. Capturing you alive is the organization's top priority mission. Now that the branch is gone, the R11 organization may temporarily go into hiding, but you will still be in constant danger."

After hearing Fu Sheng's words, Jian Ning understood.

Although Su Shijian has already been arrested, he's not stupid. He probably sensed something was wrong and revealed everything about her beforehand.

Jian Ning wasn't afraid either.

Her former agent used to brainwash her, saying: "Take life and death lightly, and fight if you disagree."

She really does have quite that kind of drive right now.

Seeing her silence, Fu Sheng said, "I haven't reported your matter to my superiors yet. I'm waiting for your answer."

Jian Ning had asked him if he could keep quiet for the time being, and he thought that if he could get into Zone N09, Jian Ning's safety would be guaranteed.

But he still chose to respect her own wishes.

Jian Ning understood what he meant, nodded, and replied, "Okay, I'll give you an answer once I've thought it through."

Fu Shengming, still outwardly a policeman, said, "I'll be going now. I have official business to attend to this afternoon. Take care of yourself these next few days and get some rest. When the police station gives you an award, will you be there?"

Jian Ning shook her head: "I think I won't come."

Although Fu Sheng hadn't spent much time with Jian Ning, he could roughly grasp her personality, so he didn't force it.

No sooner had Fu Sheng left than Zhang Nan returned.

"Hey, when did those two policemen arrive? I didn't even notice them come in. What are they doing here?"

Jian Ning replied, "They just arrived. They said Xiao Bai helped by bringing some cat food."

Looking at the basket full of canned goods, Zhang Nan frowned with a headache at the thought of Jian Ning's ability to understand Xiao Bai's speech. She placed her hands on Jian Ning's shoulders and said, "I really hope you can take a nap and turn back into a normal person!"

Jian Ning closed her eyes, then opened them again. "Okay, I've taken a nap and turned back to normal."

"Are you trying to fool a three-year-old?" Zhang Nan said with a laugh, patting her on the shoulder.

At that moment, someone knocked on the ward door, which was still open.

Zhang Nan turned around and looked at the two unfamiliar people at the door: "Who are you?"
