Chapter 36: A Terrifying Past

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Nie Xing’s legs suddenly went weak, and he was about to fall. His hand subconsciously grabbed the old man’s arm.

Everyone turned pale with fright. From the old man’s ostentation, he was definitely not a simple person. If he were to fall to the ground with Nie Xing, the consequences would not be something he could bear.

Unexpectedly… the arm that was grabbed by Nie Xing was unexpectedly exceptionally sturdy!

A vigorous force was transmitted from the arm, forcefully supporting Nie Xing. Not only did he not fall, but his footing returned completely.

After Nie Xing stabilized his body, he felt somewhat grateful.

He, who was in a somewhat poor state, raised his eyes to take a look.

However, he soon discovered that he had never seen this old man before. A powerful aura was emitted, giving off the aura of a superior.

There were even hundreds of black-clothed people following behind him. This scene was truly somewhat shocking.

The old man looked at him with a complicated expression:

“Believe in your own choice. A person must have his own path in life. If your path is difficult, take a break. However, don’t forget to take a step back if it’s killing you.”

“You are?” Nie Xing was stunned and asked.

The old man in front of him had a special sense of familiarity with him

It was as if the other party and the old man were friends who had known each other for a long time, and even knew him.

Another old man had once said the same thing to him.

It was when he was preparing to enter the Research Institute. During that time, he was very tired and depressed from studying.

His old man had said this to him.

After several years… this sentence was repeated again, but it was said by the mysterious old man in front of him.

He could not help but feel a little surprised and touched.

“I’m a friend of Elder Nie. I’m here to send him off!”

The old man said in a deep voice with a solemn expression.

As he spoke… he turned his gaze to Nie Yugang’s tombstone.

Upon hearing the old man’s words, the surrounding people did not even dare to breathe loudly. They were even more shocked.

He was actually Old Nie’s friend. To send him off in such a fashion, it was obvious that he was a big shot.

When did Old Nie even get to know such a person?

He even personally helped Nie Xing up in front of everyone.

It was a proclamation to his relatives.

In the distance, Su Chen was standing under a tree and looking over.

He was observing the funeral.

He did not know where these beings came from. The system had somehow provided them from the shop as usual. He did know that he could use his mind to communicate and give orders to the old man at any time like an avatar of a video game.

The words that he said to Nie Xing were something that Nie Yugang had entrusted him with.

Nie Yugang seemed to have predicted what would happen today. Nie Xing would remain prostate for a long time, and no one would come forward to help him up.

He said that he hoped to help him up and at the same time pass this sentence to him to help him up.

Following the intention of the mission target, Su Chen had commanded the old man to help Nie Xing up and conveniently said this sentence.

The old man’s aura was tyrannical. Ordinary people who dared to stand in front of him and speak needed to have a certain level of courage.

Otherwise, one or two sentences would expose their cowardice.

However, Nie Xing had at least seen the existence of many important figures. At that moment, he did not feel uncomfortable standing beside him.

Many people around him noticed Nie Xing’s reaction and felt rather surprised.

It seemed that this fellow had ventured out for three years and had seen many important figures.

It was just that he was not a good person. Even when his father passed away, he did not even come back to visit!

At that moment, no matter how filial he was, it was already too late.

…

A gentle breeze blew over, and the white couplet fluttered in the wind.

The old man looked at Nie Yugang’s tombstone with a solemn expression. After staring at it for a moment, he bowed deeply towards his tombstone!

With his bow taking the lead, the hundreds of black-clothed men behind him also bowed in silence!

The powerful aura and appearance caused everyone to subconsciously respect Old Nie’s tombstone.

The entire funeral was silent.

Other than the people who bowed, everyone around lowered their heads in silence.

After a long while… after the old man in the chinese tunic slowly stood up, the hundreds of men in black behind him also stood up.

Their mission was considered to be completed.

Under everyone’s gaze, under the scene of the group of men in black admiring the moon, the old man got into the black Maybach and slowly left the cemetery, disappearing from sight!

After the old man disappeared, everyone finally heaved a sigh of relief.

“Good heavens, who were those people? That aura is so oppressive that I can’t even breathe!”

“Unfortunately, if I had known earlier, I would have taken out my phone to record it. I’ve never had the chance to see it up close in my life!”

“I wonder how such an honest person like Old Nie got involved with such a big shot?”

“Scary, could it be the triad?”

“Of course not. In my opinion, it should be a certain big shot who did not want to expose his identity!”

“I didn’t expect Old Nie to have such a friend. He never once acted that way!”

“You don’t understand. The relationship network of such big shots is very mysterious. They will only officially appear during funerals!”

“I thought Old Wang was drunk just now and was rambling mindlessly. It seems that the matter of the military experts appearing in the hospital for a consultation is also true!?”

Under everyone’s discussion, Old Nie’s calm and low-key life seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mystery at this moment.

No one could see clearly how terrifying his past was.

To be able to have such a scene at a funeral was not something that anyone could do.

Someone looked at Old Wang and asked curiously,

“Old Wang, you and Old Nie are usually the closest. Do you know that person just now?”

“I don’t know him!”

Old Wang shook his head with a complicated expression. His slightly tipsy face seemed to have sobered up a lot.

What happened in the hospital had been enough to shock him. Now that he had witnessed such a scene, his mind was buzzing. It was as if he did not know Old Nie anymore. That simple and honest Old Nie… when did he get to know these big shots?

No wonder he lost to him every time he played chess!

To be able to get to know these big shots, it could be said that he was already further ahead in life than he was. He had no reason to lose to him in a game of chess!

With this in mind, he laughed bitterly. In the end, Old Nie had won!

Under the effects of the alcohol, his legs were a little weak. Little Wang quickly supported him.

He felt his son’s strength.

Old Wang turned his head to look at Little Wang, then looked at Nie Xing, who was standing in front of the tombstone. He immediately smiled bitterly.

At least he got the better son.

How could he be better than him in everything?

After Nie Xing watched the old man leave, his expression was also somewhat puzzled.

The old man was famous for being warm-hearted and good-natured.

How would he have the opportunity to get to know a big shot?

The military expert consultation that appeared in the hospital had been Elder Liu’s doing.

Then, was this really a friend of his father’s?

As he recalled the words that the old man had said to him, the corners of his eyes became a little moist.

Turning back to look at his father’s tombstone, the scenes of the past seemed to appear in front of his eyes.

In his dim eyes, there was finally some light.

The next moment… suddenly, he felt dizzy. He lost his strength and fell to the ground….
