Chapter 812: Tang Yao’s Destiny?

“Something might have happened to Yaizi. His phone has been unreachable for three hours now,” Nie Yan said anxiously, pressing the accelerator hard. The car’s speed suddenly surged past 500, overtaking one vehicle after another on the highway.

“Who would target Yaizi?” Xie Yao hesitated for a moment, but quickly realized this was no time for questions. “I’ll immediately ask my father to locate the last signal from Yaizi’s phone and send people there.”

“Mm,” Nie Yan nodded. This was no time for politeness. He had been deeply worried about Tang Yao’s safety. According to his past life, the bar fight incident was supposed to happen on July 8th, three years later. The timeline was completely off, so Yaizi shouldn’t be the one getting into trouble today!

Yet no one could predict fate. Nie Yan had specifically warned Tang Yao not to go to the bar, fearing the tragedy from his past life would repeat itself. He believed that due to his reincarnation, a series of butterfly effects had occurred, changing history and altering Tang Yao’s fate. However, when he heard from Huai that Tang Yao had gone to a bar, Nie Yan’s mind went completely blank, as if struck by lightning.

The wind roared in his ears, while trees and scenery on both sides rapidly receded behind him. Nie Yan drove while silently praying, Yaizi, please don’t get hurt, or I’ll feel guilty for the rest of my life!

Sensing Nie Yan’s anxiety, Xie Yao quickly called Xie Jun, asking him to mobilize the Xie family’s resources to locate Tang Yao.

Ever since learning about Nie Yan’s close relationship with General Mo Yuntian, Xie Jun’s status within the Xie family had risen significantly, giving his words more weight. This small matter was nothing to him.

More than twenty minutes later, Xie Jun provided a response. The last signal from Tang Yao’s phone disappeared near the Tian Gong Bar.

Upon hearing the name “Tian Gong Bar,” Nie Yan hesitated. No, in his past life, Yaizi didn’t get into trouble at that bar. Could it just be a false alarm?

“I also found out that one of the registered shareholders of Tian Gong Bar is a man named Liu Tianshi,” Xie Yao said, looking at the information sent by Xie Jun.

Although it wasn’t the same bar, the name Liu Tianshi sent Nie Yan’s heart plummeting to the depths. It was that guy! Nie Yan recalled the scene from his past life when the man had killed Yaizi, yet left the scene with a calm smile, knowing the police wouldn’t dare touch him. If this guy was targeting Yaizi again in this life… Nie Yan couldn’t bear to imagine it. Was everything returning to the same path as before?

No, he absolutely couldn’t let that happen. Hang in there, Yaizi! I’ll be there in two hours! Nie Yan silently prayed. In his past life, when he arrived at the bar, Yaizi was already a cold corpse. If this life repeated that… Nie Yan’s face turned icy cold, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. If this life turned out the same as before, he would make sure that guy would never escape justice again!

“Stiletto, head immediately to the Tian Gong Bar in Huanghai,” Nie Yan said, dialing Stiletto’s phone.

“Any problem?”

“We’ll talk when you get here. Have you found anything while following Liu Tianshi?”

“That guy is pretty low-key. He lives in a rented suite. However, while monitoring his phone calls, we found something. His father is some kind of secretary, and seems to hold a pretty high position,” Stiletto replied.

Nie Yan could easily guess Liu Tianshi’s father held a high-ranking official position. They definitely had a vast network of connections. People like that couldn’t be confronted openly. But if they played dirty, Nie Yan was confident that he and Stiletto could handle Liu Tianshi!

Meanwhile, Guo Huai also sent news that they had dispatched people to Tian Gong Bar, but the bar had powerful backing, forcing them to act cautiously.

“Have you found Yaizi at the bar yet?” Nie Yan asked, eager to know Tang Yao’s current condition.

“No.”

About two hours later, Nie Yan’s Solon came to a stop outside Tian Gong Bar.

“Wait here. I’ll go in alone,” Nie Yan said to Xie Yao beside him.

“Nie Yan, let me go in with you. I’m worried about you going alone,” Xie Yao said with concern.

“Don’t worry. Stiletto will arrive soon. With him, there won’t be a problem,” Nie Yan reassured her.

After thinking it over, Xie Yao realized that Nie Yan would indeed be safe with Stiletto around.

“Alright then. Call me immediately if anything happens,” Xie Yao said. Entering the bar with Nie Yan might only cause trouble, but staying outside would allow her to support him. If Nie Yan encountered any difficulties, she could figure out a way to help from outside.

Nie Yan jumped off the Solon and rushed inside. It was a dazzling bar, its interior extremely luxurious. The main hall was packed with people. Besides the main hall, there were many private rooms on the second floor. These sealed bar rooms could hide any kind of incident without anyone outside ever knowing.

Tian Gong Bar was one of the most famous entertainment venues in Huanghai, filled with people of various backgrounds and connections. If they barged into each private room one by one, it would only cause more trouble and might alert their target. If the opponent panicked and killed Tang Yao, Nie Yan would regret it for the rest of his life. He forced himself to stay calm. What should he do now?

“Sir, may I take your order?” In the dim lights, a uniformed waiter approached Nie Yan.

Looking at the waiter, Nie Yan immediately had an idea.

“Stiletto, get us two waiter uniforms,” Nie Yan said in the team chat.

Just three minutes later, Stiletto met up with Nie Yan, wearing a waiter uniform convincingly.

“I knocked out two waiters and left them in the restroom. Here’s yours,” Stiletto said, tossing a bag to Nie Yan.

“Immediately check whether Tang Yao is in any of those private rooms. I’ll go change,” Nie Yan said, quickly heading to the restroom with the uniform.

Soon, Stiletto began his reconnaissance, entering one private room after another. If necessary, he would force his way in. If it turned out to be wrong, he would just leave.

Stiletto approached a private room door and found it tightly shut. He produced a wire, fiddled with the lock for a moment, and the door clicked open. Looking inside, he saw a chaotic scene with several couples entangled together, completely naked.

“Damn it, get out! Who let you in?” A voice inside shouted curses.

“Sorry, you forgot to close the door,” Stiletto calmly backed out and shut the door with a loud bang.

Nie Yan, just like Stiletto, searched room after room. Though his lock-picking skills weren’t as proficient as Stiletto’s, they were sufficient for this situation.

Nie Yan had inspected sixteen private rooms before meeting up with Stiletto.

“Did you find Tang Yao?” Nie Yan asked.

“No,” Stiletto shook his head. “But I found a luxury suite guarded by five men. I couldn’t get close. We might need to take them out.”

A luxury suite? Nie Yan thought for a moment, then looked at Stiletto. “Disguise ourselves. We’re going in!”

Even at this moment, Nie Yan remained cautious. He took out some putty-like substance, smeared it across his face, and checked his reflection in a nearby mirror. His nose looked higher, his eyes slightly changed. Ordinary makeup could transform an ugly person into a beauty; disguise was no difficult feat.

Stiletto also altered his appearance. The two of them walked down the corridor, reaching its end where the luxury suite Stiletto mentioned was located. Five men in black suits and sunglasses stood guard at the entrance. Their demeanor clearly indicated they were well-trained bodyguards.

Nie Yan and Stiletto exchanged a glance before approaching the guards.

“The gentlemen in Room 866 asked us to deliver two bottles of Lafite,” Nie Yan said.

“We didn’t order anything. Leave now,” one tall man blocked Nie Yan’s path.

“Sir, it’s definitely Room 866. A gentleman named Liu Tianshi called the front desk earlier, requesting two bottles of Lafite,” Nie Yan calmly replied, observing the expressions of the guards.

Hearing Nie Yan’s words, the guards exchanged glances, showing signs of confusion.

“Is it from the young master?”

“I’ll go check.”

“You wait here,” one guard said, blocking Nie Yan’s path.

Upon hearing the guards’ conversation, Nie Yan’s eyes narrowed sharply, revealing a flash of killing intent. Liu Tianshi was indeed inside the private room. He looked at Stiletto beside him and nodded.

At that moment, Stiletto suddenly moved. His right hand, like a flash of lightning, struck one guard’s neck with a knife-hand strike. With a thud, the guard groaned, his eyes gradually losing focus before collapsing.

Before the others could react, Stiletto swiftly moved to another guard. Before the man could even realize what was happening, Stiletto’s right hand, like a venomous snake emerging from its cave, struck the guard’s throat with a palm strike, his fingers digging into the man’s windpipe.

A sharp pain shot through the guard’s neck, as if it were breaking. His face twisted in agony as he clutched his throat, trying to speak but unable to utter a sound.

At the same time, Nie Yan attacked the guard beside him with a vicious elbow strike to the abdomen. The guard immediately curled up like a shrimp and fell heavily to the ground with a thud, the intense pain knocking him unconscious instantly.

Nie Yan immediately lunged at another guard.

The suddenness of the attack left the five guards unable to react in time. Three of them were already down. Although they were well-trained, against the terrifying speed of Nie Yan and Stiletto, they proved fragile and helpless.
