In a villa in the suburbs of Huahai, Xie Yao was pacing back and forth anxiously, wondering how Nie Yan was doing. She had an ominous premonition that made her restless. Nie Yan was facing two or three hundred top-class assassins hired at a high price by Cao Xu. Although she understood their side was strong, she still couldn’t calm down.
With a cunning character like Cao Xu, it was hard to say what special means he might have.
She hoped Nie Yan would be safe. If anything happened to him, she wouldn’t know how to cope.
She sat down on a sofa by the window. The sun was shining brightly outside, casting light on her body through the window. She was wearing a white long dress, her beauty dreamlike and breathtaking, enough to be described as peerless. If someone saw her, they would be amazed. However, her face was filled with worry and fatigue.
At that moment, a woman in her mid-twenties, dressed in white business attire, rushed in hurriedly.
“Miss, something terrible has happened,” the woman said anxiously.
Xie Yao’s heart sank. “What happened?”
“Master Nie was shot in the heart and is being treated in the hospital. He might…” She paused, realizing something, and didn’t continue. “Chairman wants you to go there quickly.”
Xie Yao felt as if struck by lightning, her face turning deathly pale. How could this be? Nie Yan…
Impossible! Nie Yan would be fine. Xie Yao grabbed a white coat from the sofa and urged, “Let’s go.”
The two rushed out of the room and ran toward a car parked downstairs.
Soon, the car sped off at a frantic pace.
The news of Cao Xu’s death spread like wildfire, with media outlets reporting it. As the former CEO of Century Group, a public figure, his death naturally drew attention. The scene of Cao Xu’s death was immediately controlled, and the police conducted a thorough investigation into the cause of death, finding that Cao Xu had died from poisoning. After a series of investigations, it was found that Cao Xu had consumed a lot of alcohol before his death. Witnesses claimed he had expressed suicidal tendencies, but the case couldn’t be closed yet. Since the police couldn’t retrieve the satellite footage from that time, any conclusions drawn would be hard to convince the public. However, Cao Xu’s death brought relief to many people.
Meanwhile, the news about Nie Yan, the heir of Tianxia Group and future son-in-law of Zhengrong Group and Longyue Group, being shot in the heart and undergoing emergency treatment in the hospital touched many hearts. If it were only for his previous identities, it wouldn’t have drawn much attention, as these big business groups were too distant for ordinary people. However, Nie Yan had another name: “Nieyan”! That was what really concerned them. If Nieyan died, it would cause a huge uproar in the game Faith.
According to some rumors, Nie Yan was shot because of Cao Xu. Cao Xu had sent assassins to kill Nie Yan, but the plot was exposed, leaving Cao Xu no choice but to commit suicide. Whether these rumors were true remained unclear. It was said that some of Cao Xu’s former confidants requested the police to retrieve the satellite footage from that time, but the footage provided by the police only showed static images, which was hard to believe.
It was also said that some of Cao Xu’s men tried to confirm Nie Yan’s death at Huahai First Hospital but got no results. Additionally, the more than 20 billion left by Cao Xu was still stored in a secret notary institution in the dark world. If Nie Yan died, the money would be transferred to Ghost Fox’s account. If Nie Yan survived, the next person to kill him would get the 20 billion. However, Ghost Fox himself seemed to have disappeared and hadn’t returned to the notary office to complete the mission.
The hospital had no news to release, and all information was sealed off. Whether Nie Yan was alive or dead became an unsolvable mystery.
Countless people waited eagerly for more than two months, thinking that by now Tianxia Group should have released news about Nie Yan’s death. However, Tianxia Group remained silent on the issue. Nie Yan’s private ward at the hospital had also been removed, making Nie Yan seem to have completely disappeared.
This left everyone stunned. Numerous media outlets wrote commentaries and speculated about Nie Yan’s fate, but even the doctors responsible for treating Nie Yan had no information. It turned out that Nie Yan had been secretly transported away the day after he was admitted to Huahai First Hospital. They had only maintained the illusion that Nie Yan was still being treated there. During this period, they even encountered as many as five terrorist attacks. This time was undoubtedly a tough period for them. However, afterward, they all received generous compensation from Tianxia Group. Some of them could even quit their jobs and live comfortably for the rest of their lives.
It turned out Nie Yan had been moved so early, which added more suspense. If Nie Yan was dead, why would Tianxia Group hide the news instead of announcing his funeral? If he was alive, why was he moved the very next day, which was a critical time for the rescue? Wasn’t moving him then too hasty? Didn’t they fear that moving him might cause the wound to bleed again, leading to secondary injuries? If Nie Yan had already died at that time, it would make sense, as it wouldn’t matter anymore.
Nie Yan’s death became a mysterious enigma.
Many people were looking forward to Nieyan’s return in the game, but the result disappointed them. After Nie Yan’s fate became unknown, Nieyan’s account in Faith never appeared again.
The Crazy Thief Nieyan seemed to have become a memory buried in the hearts of players.
Some people said Nie Yan was dead, while others claimed to have seen Nie Yan and Xie Yao together at some famous tourist spots. Anyway, Nieyan in the game never appeared again. Nie Yan might have felt that he had already reached the peak in the game and decided to retire. However, there were various opinions, and it was hard to know what was true and what was false.
Time passed slowly, and the legends of the Crazy Thief Nieyan continued to be passed on among players, but many also forgot about him. Three years had changed so much. After three long years, players finally believed that the once-mighty Crazy Thief Nieyan would never appear again.
Over the past three years, the forces secretly operated by Cao Xu had been completely eliminated under the joint attacks of Tianxia Group, Zhengrong Group, and Longyue Group. As for the 20 billion revenge fund, it was mysteriously moved by hackers, which ruined the reputation of the notary institution. After Century Group was acquired by Tianxia Group, it took over a large number of businesses and became even more powerful than its peak, making those who sold their shares regretful.
Tianxia Group transformed into a massive holding company. In addition to Century Group, it also controlled the shares of Zhengrong Group, Longyue Group, and other business groups. It acquired more than 100 listed companies, creating an incredibly powerful commercial empire. Globally, only the Western Brute Capital Group could rival it. However, the Brute Capital Group was formed by the merger of many business groups, while Tianxia Group was wholly owned by the Nie family. The two groups could be considered as dividing the world between them.
As for the game, the Bull Tribe still controlled the entire Light Faction. Although Nie Yan had gone missing, people like Cui Can Dao Guang, Shui Se Yan Tou, and Sun were still there. With them, the Bull Tribe’s imperial dominance could not be shaken. Any guilds that tried to challenge the Bull Tribe’s authority were defeated. As for Angel’s Fall, they firmly controlled the Dark Faction, and their power grew day by day.
On a small island in the western Pacific, the climate was warm and spring-like all year round. The bright sunshine, golden sand, and turquoise sea formed a beautiful picture.
This island was originally the territory of a North American country, a famous tourist destination. Since last year, when Tianxia Group bought it from the country, it had become private land. A magnificent castle was built in the center of the island, looking grand under the sunlight.
Golden sands stretched around the island. On a wide beach, a huge sunshade was planted, creating a shady area. Under the sunshade were two reclining chairs. On one of them lay a young man, wearing only red floral swim trunks. A sun hat covered his face, making it impossible to see his features. His bare upper body was tanned bronze by the sun, with evenly distributed, solid muscles. His chest rose and fell evenly, clearly indicating he was asleep.
A Siberian Husky ran past his reclining chair, but he was completely unaware, as if nothing could disturb his sleep.
At that moment, from the direction of the castle, a slender girl in a bikini was walking over. She was about 1.65 meters tall, her skin as white as congealed fat, smooth and moist. She walked in the sunlight, letting the rays directly hit her skin.
The white bandeau was merely a strip of cloth, unable to cover her round and full softness, revealing a deep cleavage. Her pair of snow-white, soft arms were slender and delicate, giving a sense of fragile beauty. Looking down, her smooth and elastic abdomen had not a trace of fat. Her lower body wore only a semi-transparent lace-edged underwear, revealing glimpses of her charms. Her pair of long, well-proportioned legs, tight and toned, inspired endless imagination.
Such a sexy outfit, combined with her exquisite beauty and graceful posture, did not seem lewd but rather exuded an elegant demeanor. With every step she took, her perky buttocks slightly trembled, exuding charm.
Even though she knew there were only a few female servants and him on this island, the girl’s face still couldn’t help but blush, her shy and alluring demeanor making anyone’s heart race.
