Chapter 537: Chapter 532: I Trust Myself
Li Wenxin’s expression was tense as he tugged at his collar and looked out the window, his voice considerably lowered.
"The research institute was obtained by the Ye Family from the Qi Family, the base was inherited by the Fu Family from you, only the Security Department was painstakingly built by the Li Family ancestors with their blood, how can you expect me to hand it over to someone else?"
Ji Ning understood his feelings, raising a hand to pat him on the shoulder, "Li Wenxin, I know you’re not clinging to power, but even if your three families don’t hold the greatest authority, you are still a special existence, it’s the status granted by history and the times. Just as you said, if I lack a supervisory department, don’t your families have the Smart Brain access rights which is the identity of a supervisor?"
Li Wenxin was slightly taken aback and turned to look at her, "You still trust the three of us?"
Ji Ning gave him a look, "I trust myself. The children I teach won’t turn out too badly in the future. As long as you don’t do anything that crosses my boundaries..."
"And Gu Shuangcheng..."
"That’s a domestic matter for your Li Family, I, as an outsider, won’t interfere, but if he does anything to embarrass me in the future, don’t blame me for not showing you respect. Also, you three need to take responsibility for the lives stained on Ji Hong, any countermeasures?"
This was the first time Ji Ning straightforwardly addressed this issue.
Li Wenxin remained silent for a long time before he said, "The honors that should be given have been given, their families have been properly arranged, the three of us will officially resign from all titles and the position of Family Head will be replaced by someone else, all special privileges will be cancelled..."
"And you will wear Smart Brain monitoring devices for life, with SS-level access transitioning to the next Family Head , and you three must not leave the Hua Continent for life!"
"Alright..."
***
The route from the city to the film base wasn’t far, about an hour’s drive.
Ji Ning had Li Wenxin’s car stop some distance outside the film town, intending to walk in.
Unexpectedly, Li Wenxin also got out of the car, putting on a pair of golden glasses and a blue mask.
"What are you doing?" Ji Ning asked.
Li Wenxin replied, "I’ve never been to this place, wanted to check it out..."
Ji Ning: ...
Doesn’t the outfit need some change too?
Ji Ning directly bought a set of men’s sportswear at the film town and tossed it to Li Wenxin.
"Sixty, remember to reimburse me."
Li Wenxin: ...
To the driver’s shock, the Family Head, usually in a white shirt and suit pants, actually changed into an old-style track suit, obediently following behind Leader Ji towards the film base.
Ji Ning came to the film base this time to handle Su Qiangwei’s inheritance issue.
Su Qiangwei divided the inheritance into three parts, besides Ye Tong, there was herself and Li Tao’s sister, Li Xiang.
She didn’t expect that Li Xiang had become an Immortal Person and was secretly sent back to the Hua Continent because she had instructed [Zero] to permanently shut down the Immortal Person chip programs within the Hua Continent, and Li Xiang’s autonomous consciousness was restored.
Asheng and Ah San, who had been keeping tabs on Li Xiang, were able to control her immediately.
After a series of examinations, although Li Xiang’s face had been surgically altered, the fingerprint and DNA matched.
Thus, the missing person case lasting eight years was finally concluded.
Asheng reported the latest situation to her, but because there was insufficient evidence to prove that Li Xiang had intentionally harmed others, she was treated like Pan Qing, with a lifetime of wearing Smart Brain monitoring devices and confined to the Hua Continent for life.
"Sister Ning, over here—"
Ye Tong, already waiting at the entrance, excitedly waved to her.
Beside her were Li Tao and a girl resembling Su Qiangwei somewhat, presumably Li Xiang.
Li Tao had already learned some truths from his sister’s mouth, and was very grateful to Ji Ning, immediately dropping his work when he heard she was coming to the film base, bringing his sister to meet her at the entrance.
Ji Ning and Li Wenxin moved towards them upon hearing this.
Since Li Wenxin was following further back, Ye Tong didn’t notice him. After running over, she hugged Ji Ning’s body tightly and rubbed her chin vigorously against Ji Ning’s shoulder.
If she had a tail, it would surely wag by now.
"Sister Ning, why are you back only now? You missed the variety show filming."
"If you like variety shows, you can participate in a few more."
"No, I still prefer acting. By the way, Sister Ning, guess what rank I got in the art exam?"
Ji Ning helplessly removed her arm, "What rank?"
This silly girl has grown taller again, almost a head taller than her now.
Why doesn’t she grow taller?
Ye Tong smiled and gestured with a "1" with her fingers, boasting: "First place, both written and interview exams, aren’t I impressive?"
"Not bad."
Li Wenxin, who was following a short distance behind Ji Ning, paused slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
In his impression, Ji Ning wasn’t easy to get along with, unexpectedly being so special to this girl.
She seems to be called Ye Tong?
Though from a humble background, she recently cooperated with detectives to successfully complete a West Continent undercover mission, providing a lot of information about the Eternal Life Sect and Ji Family Army.
Beautiful, excellent acting, and the same age as Shuangcheng, maybe she could allow the two more chances to contact...
Li Wenxin secretly observed Ye Tong, also successfully catching her attention.
"Sister Ning, is he your friend?"
Ji Ning turned to glance at Li Wenxin, introduced, "My new assistant, you can call him Uncle Li."
Ji Ning said this with some accent, sounding very much like "Li" at first glance.
Ye Tong immediately greeted politely, "Hello, Uncle Li."
Li Wenxin nodded slightly, lowering his voice, "Hello."
Ye Tong felt this man seemed a bit familiar, but couldn’t recall for the moment, suppressing her doubts. She pulled on Ji Ning’s arm while walking towards the film base, asking, "Sister Ning, how many days will you be back, could we have a meal together?"
Ji Ning glanced at Li Wenxin, seeing him nod slightly, replied, "Sure."
Only then did Ye Tong somewhat believe that this uncle was Ji Ning’s assistant.
It’s already time to start scheduling.
"That’s great, once we sign the contract, we’ll have a meal together. Brother Tao wants to thank you properly."
Li Tao pulled his sister forward to express gratitude, looking so eager to kneel down and kowtow to Ji Ning.
Ji Ning quickly stopped them, feeling uncomfortable, "It’s my duty, no need for this."
She turned her gaze to Li Xiang, "If you don’t like this face, I can help you restore it."
Li Xiang was taken aback, then shook her head, "No, thank you."
Ji Ning didn’t insist, asking Ye Tong, "Where’s the lawyer?"
"In Brother Tao’s office."
The group proceeded to Li Tao’s office rented at the film base, where they saw a man dressed in a three-piece professional suit.
The man didn’t expect so many people to turn up, stood up from his chair and introduced himself professionally to the group.
"Hello, I am Du Qiaoying, the lawyer tasked to handle Su Qiangwei’s estate. May I confirm if you are Ms. Ji Ning?"
Du Qiaoying was somewhat nervous looking at Ji Ning.
He had never met Ji Ning before, not even a photo available, only knowing he had to find Ji Ning through Ye Tong as she is a High-level superpower user.
Among the people here, he recognized most except Ji Ning and the man beside her, while Ji Ning was distinctly a lady.
Thus, he focused on her, extending his right hand politely.
Ji Ning likewise extended her right hand, lightly shaking his hand, "I am Ji Ning."
"Hello, please have a seat."
Despite feeling extremely nervous inside, Du Qiaoying’s professional ethics ensured his demeanor remained composed as he urged Ji Ning to sit, then immediately said, "Sorry Ms. Ji Ning, I still need to check your credentials to verify personal information."
"That’s fine."
Ji Ning rolled up her sleeve to reveal the Smart Brain on her arm, tapping on it.
"And your suppression ring, please."
Ji Ning rolled up the other sleeve to reveal a phoenix-shaped bracelet, pressing it.
Seeing the information and position of the superpower user displayed on the light screen, Du Qiaoying’s voice trembled, "Okay, your information is verified, this is the inheritance left by Ms. Su Qiangwei for you..."
He took out a document folder from his briefcase, carefully pushing it in front of Ji Ning.
Unexpectedly, Ji Ning turned to call out to Li Wenxin, "Take a look, is there any problem with this contract?"
