Nie Wan added, "If nothing major happens tonight, or even if something does happen, we can manage to handle it, then let's go online together tomorrow to run the Ghost Serpent Forbidden Land dungeon."

"Okay!"

Lan Xiangyuan's puzzled expression vanished, replaced by delight.

The Forbidden Land of the Nether Serpent is a dungeon that can only be entered by players level 10 and above. It has five grades, ranging from crude to spirit treasure, and is considered the first large-scale dungeon in the game.

It was discovered three days ago, but no one has been able to get through yet.

The official team had invited Lan Xiangyuan several times, but Lan Xiangyuan knew that she was just an extra and that Nie Wan was the person they really wanted to invite, so she kept declining on the grounds that she couldn't contact Nie Wan.

Now that Nie Wan has agreed, Lan Xiangyuan naturally contacted the officials immediately.

Having settled the matter, Nie Wan logged off.

Lan Xiangyuan belatedly realized that Mr. Chen had also asked her to contact Nie Wan, but she had completely forgotten about it just now.

However, it's probably nothing for Mr. Chen to talk to Nie Wan about, so it's okay not to tell him.

Lan Xiangyuan comforted herself and put the matter out of her mind again, then contacted the official people and told them that they might be doing a dungeon run after nine o'clock tomorrow.

After logging off, Nie Wan replied to all the messages on her phone that she had been anxious about because she hadn't replied to them for a long time. She explained that she had accidentally entered a small secret realm map and was stuck there for a few days. She was afraid that logging off in the middle might cause some unexpected problems, so she hadn't replied.

I edited the good news, sent it back to the group, and then put down my phone.

But soon, the phone rang; someone was calling.

It's Chen Yicheng.

Nie Wan frowned slightly.

Is this guy trying to find fault again?

After thinking about it, I answered the phone anyway.

"Mr. Chen, what brings you calling so late?"

On the other end of the phone, Chen Yicheng gave a cold laugh, seemingly unaware of the reason.

"Nie Wan, you're really something."

Nie Wan was full of questions.

"You didn't even read the message I sent you carefully. You just glanced at who had greeted you and sent it to a group without any further information."

Upon hearing this, Nie Wan opened WeChat and read the message Chen Yicheng had sent her.

"You and your brother had a falling out? He somehow got my number and called to say you're morally corrupt and that I should fire you right now."

Nie Wan suddenly realized: "You're bothered by Shao Wenjun? Don't worry about it, just treat her like a flea and block her."

Chen Yicheng remained silent on the other end of the phone.

He seemed to think about it for a while before asking, "You don't care about him anymore?"

"Why do you ask?"

Nie Wan was very curious. She had never told Chen Yicheng about her family situation, so why was he asking this question?

Chen Yicheng also realized his slip of the tongue, paused for a moment, and said, "I only learned a little bit from Lan Xiangyuan. Haven't you always cared about your brother? Even though he's not your biological brother, you've been more responsible than a biological sister. How come you suddenly fell out with him?"

Nie Wan thought to herself that she hadn't discussed her family situation with Lan Xiangyuan either.

His brows furrowed even more.

She wasn't oblivious; she could sense how abnormal Chen Yicheng's behavior was.

Suddenly, they stopped finding fault and started to show goodwill.

As expected, he was still testing whether she was You Yuehan, and taking the opportunity to get closer to her and build a relationship.

Thinking it over, Nie Wan said, "No one is born wanting to be taken advantage of. Disappointment accumulates and eventually leads to heartbreak. But Mr. Chen, what does this have to do with you? You don't need to come here specifically to ask me, do you? I'm sorry Shao Wenjun offended you. I have a few numbers he used to harass me. I can provide them to you, and you can just block them. If that doesn't work, you can deduct it from my performance bonus this month."

There was silence on the other end of the phone again.

Nie Wan didn't intend to say anything more, but thinking that she had to play her part completely, she continued with the lines she had prepared.

"I've accidentally wandered into a little secret realm these past few days and haven't been receiving any messages from everyone. I don't know what the current situation is like for investment banks in the game. Since you've come all this way, Mr. Chen, could you please tell me about it for me?"

Chen Yicheng sighed: "I think you don't need to call me 'Little President Chen' anymore."

This guy is here again.

Nie Wan rolled her eyes impatiently.

When answering questions, they never give a clean and concise reply. Instead, they always have to insert irrelevant remarks, deliberately leaving hooks to steer the conversation off-topic.

Even when chatting with others, Nie Wan doesn't like to ramble on and on.

But this Mr. Chen is always like this, which is really making her anxious.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Chen Yicheng sighed and explained the situation at the investment bank.

After counting the number of people, Lan Xiangyuan and Chen Yicheng selected six managers, all of whom had good leadership skills but poor gaming skills.

Because there are simply too many people, and some don't want to be controlled by the company in the game, the current system is very loose. The managers just add everyone as friends and then communicate and record levels periodically.

"Everything is going well, except..."

Chen Yicheng lowered his voice and said, "It seems that several people have gone missing and can no longer be found."

Nie Wan tried her best to feign surprise.

"Is there such a thing?"

"However, before I logged off, I met Lan Xiangyuan in the game, and it seems that someone on her side also had a similar experience."

"This game was already difficult to begin with, and now it's even more so—"

Suddenly, the ground beneath her feet began to tremble. Nie Wan put down her phone, looked around, and then said, "Strange, the room is shaking. Could it be an earthquake?"

"You're still so calm during an earthquake?"

On the other side, Chen Yicheng also noticed that the whole room was shaking, and he quickly ran out of the villa.

After pausing, I realized there was no movement from the other side.

Nie Wan calmly shrank back under the desk and said, "I live on the fifteenth floor. If I run down now, everyone upstairs and downstairs will be crowded together, and I definitely won't be able to get out. Besides, although the tremor was obvious, it wasn't too strong, so I don't think there will be any major problems."

A similar scene happened in my past life.

At that time, Nie Wan lived with Shao Wenjun and He Shuya.

She herself felt that there was no major problem, but Shao Wenjun and He Shuya were still uneasy, and the group left the villa.

Nie Wan didn't care where those two people were in this life, but she cared a lot about where Lan Xiangyuan was.

Nie Wan told Chen Yicheng, "I'll contact you later," then hung up and called Lan Xiangyuan.

Lan Xiangyuan was with her parents and was also fine. Although she was initially startled by the shaking house, she had calmed down and was now in a safe place.

After hearing this, Nie Wan felt relieved and told her that the tremor was not very strong and there should be no casualties. She suggested that she continue playing the game tomorrow.

Lan Xiangyuan agreed, and Nie Wan hung up the phone.

Nie Wan knew in her heart that the disaster that happened tonight was not limited to this place.
