That group company seems to be in the metallurgy business, but some people outside say they seem to be involved in smuggling and have military backing. They didn't take it seriously at first, thinking it was just a rumor, but now that they think about it, they are deeply shaken.

Their gazes towards Nie Yan changed, becoming more resolute.

Nie Yan stepped down from the stage, and the female professional named Xiao Su went up to the podium. She began to arrange the specific affairs of the War God Tribe. The orders were issued much more smoothly than before.

"I didn't expect you to have such stage presence." Seeing Nie Yan come over, A Chen joked with a smile.

Nie Yan smiled, remaining calm. So many years of experience had already taught him to be indifferent to honor and disgrace.

Nie's father nodded slightly. He was very satisfied with Nie Yan's performance, thinking to himself that Nie Yan had finally grown up.

Nie Yan and the others chatted for a while.

"Aren't the three auction houses in Nisode City owned by the Tuoba family?" Nie's father asked, suddenly remembering something.

Nie Yan explained how Tuoba Shi had transferred the auction houses. The internal strife within the Tuoba family, all the signs indicated that Tuoba Shi was definitely going to attack Tuoba Hongye!

Nie's father suddenly thought of something and looked at the people behind him, saying, "Xiao Li, report on the recent movements of the Tuoba family."

"The Tuoba family has a total of seven listed companies. Tuoba Hongye and Tuoba Fengyuan are selling off some of their shares. They have some financial problems. They were schemed against by the Century Consortium when they were cooperating with them. The Century Consortium is acquiring shares in two of their listed companies, preparing to seize control of those two listed companies. They are preparing to counterattack and have sold off some shares in several other companies..."

The Tuoba family and the Century Consortium are fighting like dogs, and many people are probably waiting to sit back and reap the benefits.

"A good opportunity!" Nie's father's eyes lit up. Nie Yan had solved the War God Tribe's financial problems, and he had a lot of spare cash on hand. With such a large sum of money, why not take advantage of this fight between the two major consortia to muddy the waters and make a fortune? If he operated well, he would definitely be able to gain a lot!

Nie's father went to make arrangements, and Nie Yan and the others implemented the affairs of the War God Tribe.

By the time everything was finished, it was already very late. It seemed like he wouldn't be able to go to school today, so Nie Yan had no choice but to give up. He drove back to the villa and could go back online after dinner.

Hua University High School, in the blink of an eye, another day passed.

The sun was setting, and sunlight streamed through the classroom windows.

Xie Yao sat in her seat. The seat next to her was empty. Every time she saw the empty seat next to her, she had a sense of loss. She didn't know what Nie Yan was doing today, but he hadn't come to school. After logging out of the game, she was still a little annoyed with Nie Yan, but when she saw that Nie Yan hadn't come, the anger in her heart dissipated, and she felt empty.

Xie Yao stared blankly out the window.

"Xie Yao, school's out, let's go." Xia Ling walked over.

"Ah? Oh. Let me pack up." Xie Yao came back to her senses and began to pack her things.

Xia Ling looked at Xie Yao, revealing a meaningful smile, and said, "Nie Yan didn't come today?"

"Yeah," Xie Yao nodded.

"What a pity, when he's here, he always takes you to the school gate every day," Xia Ling teased playfully.

Xie Yao's eyes swept over Nie Yan's computer, and a hint of disappointment welled up in her heart, "Let's go."

Seeing that Xie Yao was in low spirits, Xia Ling stopped talking about Nie Yan and instead talked about other things.

Not far away, a tall boy in a white tracksuit walked over. It was Liu Rui. The wound on his face had healed, and he looked quite handsome.

"Oh, Liu Rui, you're back. How's the injury on your face? Are you okay?" Xia Ling pretended to be quite surprised. In fact, she wasn't very interested in Liu Rui. She used to think Liu Rui was okay, but compared to Nie Yan, some of Liu Rui's shortcomings became prominent. Liu Rui was too ostentatious and not down-to-earth enough. Although that guy Nie Yan also had many shortcomings, he was much more pleasing to the eye than Liu Rui. Therefore, Xia Ling's tone was a bit barbed.

"I'm fine. Yao Yao, long time no see." Liu Rui concealed his embarrassment and greeted Xie Yao.

"Mm," Xie Yao responded casually, her expression indifferent.

"I've just leveled up to Level 42 in the past few days and got a set of gold equipment. I'll take you leveling after we log on. We'll go to the Soron Canyon. It's full of Level 45 monsters. We usually can't handle such high-level monsters. I'll have a few brothers from the Triumph Empire take us leveling. We'll level up quickly," Liu Rui said with a bit of pride. He hadn't seen Xie Yao in the game for a long time and had no idea what level Xie Yao was now.

"Pfft." Xia Ling laughed uncontrollably. Liu Rui really didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Xie Yao was at least Level 47 now, with a set of excellent Level 45 gold equipment, and she had even collected several pieces of dark gold equipment. This kid was only Level 42 and was actually saying he was going to take Xie Yao leveling.

Xia Ling's actions made Liu Rui frown, quite displeased, but since Xie Yao was present, and Xia Ling was Xie Yao's friend, he couldn't say anything.

Xia Ling quickly waved her hand and explained with a smile, "I couldn't help it for a moment, you guys continue chatting."

"Taking me leveling, sure, but can you bring one of my friends along?" Xie Yao suddenly had a bit of a mischievous idea, thinking that Nie Yan was about to log on, and what kind of expression Liu Rui would have if he met Nie Yan in the game. Dumbfounded? Shocked?

"Is your friend a boy or a girl? If it's a girl, my brothers will definitely be very welcome," Liu Rui said with what he thought was a sunny smile.

"Sorry, it's a boy, to your disappointment," Xie Yao said indifferently.

Liu Rui's smile froze on his face, but he still forced a generous smile and said, "A boy is fine too. What level is he?"

"Only around Level 30."

"Only around Level 30, that's a bit low. I don't know if my brothers will be willing to take him. If I talk to them, there shouldn't be any problem," Liu Rui patted his chest and said.

"Then I'll have to trouble you. Where should we meet?" Xie Yao found it quite amusing in her heart. Someone was actually saying they wanted to take Nie Yan leveling, and even thought Nie Yan's level was too low and didn't meet their standards.

"Let's meet at the east gate of Karlo City thirty minutes after logging on," Liu Rui said.

Xia Ling was secretly laughing. Xie Yao was usually quiet and elegant, but when she teased people, she was also very skilled.

"Xie Yao, let me take you home." Liu Rui looked at Xia Ling next to him, implying that Xia Ling, the third wheel, could leave.

"It's more lively if we all go together," Xie Yao said, taking Xia Ling's arm, "Xia Ling, let's go."

The two of them walked out on their own, chatting as they went.

"Xiao Yue said she wants to come back and see us."

"Really? When is she coming back?"

"Not sure yet, it's said that she's helping her family manage their business and is very busy every day, so we only meet occasionally in the game."

The two of them chatted, and Liu Rui couldn't get a word in, being left out in the cold. He revealed a somewhat sinister look. His subordinates often sent him messages, telling him about the happenings at school, especially those related to Xie Yao. It was said that Xie Yao often spent time alone with Nie Yan, and every time Xie Yao was with Nie Yan, they were constantly laughing and talking, which made him extremely uneasy. He was quite wary of Nie Yan. Nie Yan's skills were too strong. Only today, knowing that Nie Yan hadn't come, did he dare to show up.

"I'm leaving first." Xie Yao said goodbye to Xia Ling, not even bothering to acknowledge Liu Rui next to her, and got into her private car. The car sped away.

Liu Rui clearly felt Xie Yao's coldness, and cursed in his heart. You stinking woman, just because you're a little pretty, what's so haughty about you? Compared to Xie Yao herself, he was more interested in Xie Yao's wealth. How many women with a net worth of tens of billions could you find?

Nie Yan drove back to his villa. Suddenly, his phone rang. It was Xie Yao.

Nie Yan pressed the answer button. On the video phone, Xie Yao's beautiful face appeared. What made him a little dizzy was that Xie Yao was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, wearing a pink short skirt pajamas with some lace, revealing her white lotus arms and exquisite jade shoulders. Her beautiful cheeks were bright and moving, with a shy blush, as if she were drunk, making her look cute and charming. The short skirt was tight-fitting, with her chest high and bulging, revealing a patch of snow-white skin. Her perfect figure and alluring image made Nie Yan's nose feel congested all at once.

He really couldn't have imagined that Xie Yao would make a video call to him wearing such sexy clothes.

Nie Yan's gaze stopped on the video phone and could no longer move away.

Xie Yao looked at Nie Yan in the video phone, her heart also beating faster, her face burning hot. She seemed to feel Nie Yan's gaze wandering over her body, and a strange feeling arose in her heart. She was also ashamed of her bold decision just now. Nie Yan's absence for a day made her feel empty, as if something was missing. She was surprised to find that she was so dependent on Nie Yan.

Her parents had gone on a trip and wouldn't be back for several months. She was the only one left at home, and she had a strong desire to call Nie Yan.

"Nie Yan, why didn't you come to school today?" Xie Yao finally mustered the courage to say the first sentence.

"Oh, there was something going on at my parents' company, so I went over to help," Nie Yan explained. Xie Yao's concern made him feel flattered. This was the first time he and his goddess were so close. This one video phone call had brought the two of them much closer.

Looking at Xie Yao, he had a feeling as if he were in another world. Looking at her sexy and charming appearance, like a delicate porcelain doll, Nie Yan's emotions from both lives converged, long and distant.

"Is there anything new at school today?"

"Nothing much, Liu Rui has recovered and is back at school."

A sharp light flashed in Nie Yan's eyes. Calculating the time, that kid had recovered long ago, but he hadn't been to school all along. Today he didn't go to class, and this kid appeared. Anyone could guess the reason!
