Chapter 94 - Self-Rescue Manual of a Villainess

As Nan Yin got on the car and closed the door, before she could turn around, a hand passed her a tissue. "Miss Nan Yin, for your forehead," she didn't get a clear look at the person, but a tissue was handed to her. She couldn't help but touch her forehead, only to find the sweat from earlier still there. "Thank you." She thanked softly and then took the tissue to wipe the sweat. It wasn't until then that she noticed the man sitting in the car was a middle-aged man in a black suit with eagle-like eyes, who was none other than Li Meng's father, the chairman of the prestigious Long Qian Group. Nan Yin had expected the man to say something as soon as she arrived, but even after she wiped the sweat and straightened her clothes, the chairman of the Long Qian Group still looked at her calmly, which puzzled Nan Yin. The original host's memories did not include meeting this chairman of the Long Qian Group. After all, she had grown up in an orphanage or a slum. How could she have encountered such a big shot? But this was exactly Nan Yin's confusion - Li Ye Tian in front of her clearly recognized her. "It seems Miss Nan Yin has many doubts," Li Ye Tian finally sensed Nan Yin's confusion and asked the first question since she got in the car. ".. Of course." Nan Yin didn't show any timidity. "Anyone in the Filo District who sees you would surely have many questions." "Hahaha!" Li Ye Tian seemed quite satisfied with Nan Yin's reaction. He nodded with a smile, "Indeed, you are Nan Shan's daughter. Let's not talk about other things, your fearlessness resembles his." After the laughter, Li Ye Tian ordered his guards to start the hovercar towards the Filo District. Clearly, he intended to personally take Nan Yin back. At this point, Nan Yin didn't really care whether this senior figure intended to personally escort her back, because she had caught onto a key point in Li Ye Tian's words. "Mr. Li, do you... know my foster father?" Nan Yin's tone turned cold as she immediately inquired. To be honest, Nan Yin's understanding of the original host's father was based on the few memories she had. Her summary of him was: a genius with paranoid tendencies, a mad scientist who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. Nan Yin really wanted to get to know this talented person, and maybe send him a bullet for the original host's sake. Unfortunately, according to her memories, her foster father Nan Shan had already been burned to death by her foster mother Bai Xi in that villa, along with the gentle and cowardly woman. Li Ye Tian obviously sensed Nan Yin's unusual tone, but he didn't mind. As he looked at the beautiful girl beside him, he continued, "Yes, your father. He worked for me for a period of time." Worked for you? Nan Yin looked at Li Ye Tian with doubt. Although she didn't ask, curiosity filled her wine-red eyes. In reality, Nan Yin knew very little about Nan Shan. Her pre-knowledge of the character had completely lost its effect, as the character was just a tool to get Li Meng a wife in the game, even lacking an illustration. As for her parents, the original work didn’t provide any information. In fact, if Nan Yin hadn't crossed over, she wouldn't have known the kind of extraordinary person Nan Xi's father was. Now, Li Ye Tian didn't intend to beat around the bush and directly revealed Nan Shan's involvement, "For a long time, your father worked in a certain laboratory of the Long Qian Group... in fact, he was the head of that laboratory." The head? Nan Yin frowned. For a conglomerate like the Long Qian Group, its laboratory must be world-class, and Nan Shan was in charge of such a prominent laboratory. It seemed she had underestimated her foster father's genius level. But even if Nan Yin wanted to ask more about this, Li Ye Tian wouldn't say much, so Nan Yin wisely shifted the topic, "Mr. Li, how is our meeting today related to my foster father?" "Oh...?" Li Ye Tian was somewhat surprised by Nan Yin's calm demeanor after hearing Nan Shan's name, but quickly regained his composure. He then brought up the main topic of today. "In fact, I didn't expect that the person who saved my daughter would be you... Nan Shan's daughter," Li Ye Tian shook his head. "When Li Meng mentioned your name to me, I thought it was just a coincidence. But after checking the records, I found out that you really are Nan Shan's daughter," he paused for a moment. "I wonder if it's a coincidence... or a different kind of fate?" "Let's just consider it fate," Nan Yin said indifferently. "I didn't expect to become friends with the second Miss of the Long Qian Group and owe her a favor." The hovercar cut through the city's sky, with the drone's brilliance illuminating the interior, allowing Nan Yin to see Li Ye Tian's enigmatic expression. "Well... let's consider it fate," Li Ye Tian smiled as he looked to Nan Yin. "So... Nan Yin, what can I, or rather Long Qian Group, do for you?" Seeing Nan Yin's perplexed expression, Li Ye Tian immediately explained, "You saved Li Meng, which not only saved my daughter but also the future heir of the Long Qian Group... you practically saved the entire Long Qian Group." "The rewards from before were our family's way of repaying you, and today, I'm fulfilling what Long Qian Group owes you." At this point, Nan Yin finally understood what Li Ye Tian was referring to. Rewards? Nan Yin believed the previous credit points were enough. A few million credit points were ample to repay her favor in saving Li Meng, and she felt she should be content. There are no free lunches, and taking what rightfully belonged to her was enough. However, before Nan Yin could refuse, she heard Li Ye Tian suddenly saying something profound, "Although... I don't know why you approached Li Meng, out of fate or pure coincidence, she is still in the growing phase and can't handle many things perfectly. Maybe things will change only when she truly takes over the entire Long Qian Group." "Before that, I don't want Li Meng to owe such a huge favor to anyone... Long Qian Group already owes too much to others." Oh... Nan Yin suddenly felt enlightened for some reason. Indeed, Li Ye Tian's continuous bestowing of favors upon her and the Long Qian Group wasn't just a stroke of luck, but was supposed to completely "resolve" the matter of saving Li Meng. Currently, Li Meng was just the second Miss of the Li family, at most the heiress of the Long Qian Group. In such a situation, Nan Yin rescuing her would win her friendship, even the friendship of the entire Li family. This was naturally advantageous to all parties. But considering Li Meng's potential future identity - as the future heir of the Long Qian Group, if the Li family couldn't handle Nan Yin's favor to Li Meng properly, in who knows how many years, it wouldn't be just Li Meng who owed her, but the entire Long Qian Group. In such a situation, Li Ye Tian's bestowing her favors really couldn't be refused, and Nan Yin might even ask for more. Nan Yin wryly smiled at the thought, having been away from the center of power struggles for too long, only to be reminded of the underlying implications by the parties involved. "So..." Nan Yin looked at Li Ye Tian, "Mr. Li, one cannot thrive in the Filo District without sufficient capital. I would like to inquire about the previous military factory over there. Can I take over it?" Yes, there used to be a military factory in the Filo District, although it could only produce secondary-level military equipment - and this factory was the abandoned factory where Nan Yin had saved those Baseres slaves, the first piece of territory she conquered. At this moment, Nan Yin wanted to completely control that area. As far as she knew, that area previously belonged to the Long Qian Group. "Hehe." Li Ye Tian seemed satisfied and appreciative of Nan Yin's request. "Your actions in the Filo District have indeed brought new vitality to the area." "The deed to that factory will soon be transferred to your terminal for signing," Li Ye Tian said as he looked out the window. "Is there anything else?" Anything else? Nan Yin smiled slightly, giving an answer that almost didn't require any hesitation, "Uncle Li, having just the factory isn't enough. Can I purchase some equipment from your side? Second-hand will do." Upon hearing Nan Yin calling him Uncle Li, Li Ye Tian couldn't help but smile and shake his head, but he didn't refuse the request. "The reason that area was abandoned is due to municipal reforms, and the equipment remains sealed in the Long Qian Group's warehouse in the Filo District," he explained. "But, young lady, the reasons for the abandonment go beyond just that. Do you understand?" After finishing his words, Li Ye Tian turned back and saw the incongruous confident smile on the young girl's face.
