Chapter 146 Meeting Wei Kai

As he passed through the crowd, familiar scenes jolted Nie Yan's heart.

The familiar scenes stirred an uncontrollable sorrow within him.

It was in the same setting in his past life, amidst the bizarre and chaotic world, that he had seen Tang Yao's already cold corpse.

The memories of his past life surged uncontrollably, though the memories of this life diluted his sorrow considerably.

No matter what, he couldn't just sit back and watch everything from his past life replay.

Nie Yan's heart steeled, and he headed straight towards the stairs, ascended them, and entered the agreed-upon private room.

Inside the room, someone was already waiting. Seeing Nie Yan enter, he immediately stood up.

"Young Master Nie," Wei Kai greeted respectfully.

"Mm," Nie Yan nodded, glancing at the door.

Wei Kai closed the door and said, "I've already given instructions. No one will come in."

Nie Yan sat down on the sofa, sizing up Wei Kai. Wei Kai's appearance was basically unchanged, but having not seen him for so long, he had grown some stubble, making him appear more mature.

Wei Kai hesitated for a moment before sitting down on the sofa opposite Nie Yan.

"What did you want to see me about?" Nie Yan asked, picking up a glass of water and taking a sip.

Seeing Nie Yan's casual demeanor, Wei Kai became somewhat nervous. He tried to calm himself down, understanding that this was the most important opportunity in his life. He rubbed his hands together and said, "Young Master Nie, it's like this. I hope you can take us in. Right now, I have a thousand or so brothers under my command. On the Ningjiang scene, we're definitely second to none."

Although Wei Kai had seen his fair share of the world, he still couldn't remain calm in front of Nie Yan. He was also a little puzzled as to why. A long time ago, Nie Yan was just a kid who could be bullied, but now, when he faced Nie Yan, he felt an inexplicable pressure. He didn't understand why either.

Nie Yan shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in Ningjiang or that area. I don't want to get involved in the underworld either."

Wei Kai looked up, staring blankly at Nie Yan. What did Nie Yan mean by having Tang Yao contact him?

Recently, with the expansion of his power, he had been facing a lot of pressure. He desperately needed a big tree to lean on, and Nie Yan was undoubtedly the best choice. With the slightest action from the Nirvana Corporation, they could obtain greater opportunities for development.

He thought Nie Yan would definitely be interested in him, but he didn't expect Nie Yan to give him such an answer.

Nie Yan understood that places like Ningjiang were so chaotic that they were no different from a slum. The underworld forces were so complex that no one could control them. Even if Wei Kai was gone, other underworld bosses would replace him. Wei Kai was still quite capable, as could be seen by how he took the lead at such a young age.

"Young Master Nie means..." Wei Kai looked quite respectful. Looking at Nie Yan's cold face, he didn't know what to say. "If Young Master Nie needs me for anything, just give the order."

"I'll naturally look for you if I need you. I'll give you some funds to help you develop, and there will be continued investment in the future, but I have one condition, and that is that your subordinates can't do anything illegal. Otherwise, if something happens, I won't be able to protect you. Once I discover that you haven't kept the agreement, I'll immediately cut off the funding, and you'll know the consequences," Nie Yan said coldly. "I don't know Wei Kai, and you've never met me. That's the premise of our cooperation."

Wei Kai was a smart man, and he understood immediately, realizing that Nie Yan wanted to sever ties with him.

Nie Yan didn't say anything more, just pointing it out. Wei Kai was a chess piece. He didn't know when he would use him, but keeping him around would definitely be beneficial and harmless. Subduing Wei Kai was impossible with this alone. Making this guy listen wouldn't be easy.

Nie Yan instructed Wei Kai to handle the affairs in Ningjiang and develop towards Hua Hai. With the Nirvana Corporation backing them, they would definitely be able to develop. As long as they didn't do anything illegal, they could slowly whitewash themselves over time, helping Nie Yan do things that Nie Yan himself couldn't do.

After chatting for a while, Nie Yan stood up and said, "I'll have Tang Yao contact you if there's anything. I'll be leaving first."

"Alright, Young Master Nie, take care," Wei Kai said respectfully, standing up.

"Leave in half an hour," Nie Yan said, pushing the door open and leaving, while taking out his phone to call Ci Dao (Stab).

After Nie Yan left, Wei Kai sat down on the sofa. He carefully considered his conversation with Nie Yan just now. Nie Yan did indeed possess strong capital strength. That pressure just now probably came from Nie Yan's position above him and his sharp aura. But to think he could control him with just that was too simple. In his opinion, Nie Yan was just a stepping stone for him to reach the peak. His goal was definitely not just an underworld gang.

In fact, after Wei Kai became stronger, the security in Ningjiang had improved a lot. He was trying his best to whitewash himself, working hard to manage the industries below. Although he would occasionally do some sneaky things, he was much better than other gangs.

After pondering on the sofa for about twenty minutes, Wei Kai smiled coldly. Nie Yan was just a kid, his thoughts too naive. He wanted to make him submit with just one secret talk. He was too self-righteous.

With the capital injection from the Nirvana Corporation, their golden age was about to arrive. When the time was right, he would kick the Nirvana Corporation aside.

He stood up, pushed the door open, and walked towards the bar.

"Hmph, thirty minutes, laughable." Wei Kai curled his lips slightly. The bar was full of his people and was under complete surveillance. After Nie Yan came in, he didn't bring anyone in at all. He didn't need to pay attention to Nie Yan's last words.

"Boss."

"Boss."

Seeing Wei Kai, a dozen people gathered around.

"Let's go," Wei Kai waved his hand.

They swarmed towards the outside. Just as Wei Kai stepped out, he saw a figure flash before his eyes, and something touched his neck. He looked at that person, but that person's figure had already disappeared into the crowd. He didn't see clearly who it was at all.

About five or six seconds later, a stabbing pain came from Wei Kai's neck. He touched his neck, and a wet feeling came to his hand, a bloody smell assaulted his face.

A strong feeling of mortal fear rose from his heart. He quickly covered his neck with his hand, his face pale, and he hissed with some desperation, "Quickly send me to the hospital!"

"Boss, what's wrong?"

"Boss, you're bleeding!"

The crowd swarmed over, pushing the people next to them to make their way outside, causing a commotion. The people in the bar looked at this side with puzzlement, feeling somewhat inexplicable.

Just then, Wei Kai's phone rang. He looked at it, and it was Nie Yan calling.

Wei Kai answered the phone with a somewhat trembling right hand. Nie Yan's calm voice came from the phone.

"No need to go to the hospital. The wound will heal automatically in thirty seconds. I told you to leave the bar in thirty minutes, but you only waited twenty-three minutes and thirty seconds. This is a warning. If something similar happens again, it won't be so simple."

After hearing Nie Yan's words, Wei Kai felt a chill in his heart. He touched his neck, and the wound on his neck had already healed, no longer bleeding. He could still faintly feel a wound as thin as a hair.

Wei Kai didn't know who that person was, but he could be sure that it wasn't Nie Yan. Although it was only a brief glimpse, he vaguely remembered that the other party seemed to be in his thirties.

What skillful methods!

He didn't know what weapon the other party used. It was simply incredibly sharp. When it cut his skin, he didn't feel a thing. It was only after five or six seconds that he felt a stabbing pain. He could be sure that if the other party had moved forward just a little bit, he could have easily slit his throat.

At this time, Wei Kai reconsidered the words Nie Yan had said just now, and cold sweat seeped from his back. Nie Yan used his actions just now to tell him that his life was completely in Nie Yan's hands, and Nie Yan could take it at any time.

No wonder Nie Yan was so confident that he would listen.

Wei Kai walked forward, his mind full of thoughts. He couldn't describe his complicated mood at the moment. This encounter with Nie Yan made him truly feel that the things he had done before were just child's play. He couldn't come into contact with the level of struggle that Nie Yan was at, and he simply didn't have the ability to come into contact with it. He was just the lowest level of trash, and any attempt to rise to the top was very dangerous. If he wanted to continue living, from now on, he was Nie Yan's dog. He had to do whatever Nie Yan told him to do. If he disobeyed Nie Yan's orders, the consequences could be imagined.

"Forget it, I can't fight him. I'll just be a watchdog," Wei Kai smiled forlornly. Thinking of this, his mood actually relaxed. At least he wouldn't have to be enemies with Nie Yan, this terrifying guy, in the future. Tonight's events gave him the feeling of walking back from the gates of hell. Ordinary people couldn't understand the despair of death being so close, as well as the joy and excitement of crawling back from the edge of death. It was good to be alive, even if he could live a few more minutes in humiliation.

The few underlings next to him looked at Wei Kai with puzzlement. They felt that Wei Kai was a bit strange at this moment, a bit different from usual.

"Let's go," Wei Kai said, leading a group of people into the car. Five black sedans sped away.

Nie Yan put down his phone and smiled slightly. Ci Dao (Stab) had successfully completed the mission. Wei Kai was completely frightened. After this incident, Wei Kai probably wouldn't dare not listen. This show of force was quite effective. As long as Wei Kai was willing to listen, there would be many places he could be used in the future.

He stepped on the accelerator, and with a boom, hot air sprayed from the exhaust pipe, and the Suolong (Soul Hunter) flashed across the wide road.
