This was Su Chen's first major client, a 10,000 yuan task order, and he couldn't afford any mistakes.

After all, it was a return of a million yuan to him.

Su Chen was quite dedicated when it came to his tasks.

At the funeral.

Even though the murmurs were hushed, many people could still hear them.

Old Wang, his face flushed from drinking, glanced back at the people gossiping behind his back, a coldness in his eyes.

Those people, sensing Old Wang's gaze, didn't dare to continue speaking.

They averted his gaze.

He saw Nie Xing kneeling before the tombstone, not getting up for a long time.

The Nie family elders beside him didn't go to help him; his solitary figure seemed somewhat desolate and forlorn.

Old Wang's eyes flickered with emotion, but in the end, he didn't speak.

The expressions of the surrounding Nie family relatives remained unchanged; they even treated Nie Xing with a sense of distance.

They felt Old Nie had suffered too much during the three years Nie Xing was gone, and it wasn't worth it for Old Nie.

However, in this moment, the deceased was paramount.

They didn't want to fall out here, but after leaving, they certainly wouldn't consider Nie Xing their relative anymore!

Young Wang looked at the indifferent crowd around him and helplessly watched Nie Xing kneeling on the ground.

Normally, when a family member kneels and refuses to get up, relatives and friends would step forward to help, whether as a gesture of comfort to the deceased or support for the bereaved.

But clearly, no one really wanted to help!

Young Wang wanted to help, but he had to support his own father and couldn't spare his hands.

At this moment, A deep black Maybach slowly drove into the cemetery.

If it were just this one Maybach, it wouldn't have attracted much attention. What was truly remarkable was the hundred men in black following behind it!

They had a unique aura, dressed like secret agents: wearing black suits, black sunglasses, their sharp gazes seemed to pierce through the lenses, making ordinary people feel timid!

Even from a distance on the road, one could feel a faint sense of pressure!

The vehicles moved slowly, heading towards Old Nie's funeral.

At the funeral, the commotion from over there reached them.

Some people's attention was inadvertently drawn to the vehicles entering the cemetery.

"What is that over there?"

"Why are so many people here?"

"Wow, a black Maybach leading the way, with a hundred agents escorting it! That's the scene for a major figure!"

"I've seen it, this is the first time I've seen men in black like on TV, their presence is quite impressive!"

"It feels like... they're coming this way?"

Listening to the voices around him, Old Wang and the others also looked over curiously.

They saw a black Maybach driving slowly, followed by a team of tall, well-built men in distinctive black attire.

Such a lineup clearly indicated they were no ordinary people.

But at this moment, they were slowly approaching Old Nie's gathering.

"Are they here for Old Nie's funeral?"

Old Wang rubbed his eyes, thinking he was drunk and seeing things. When he opened them again and saw those people, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The surrounding Nie family relatives and friends all noticed this entourage.

Everyone wore expressions of astonishment.

Could they really be here for the funeral?

It didn't seem like it.

Did Old Nie, such an ordinary person, have friends like these?

The atmosphere of the entire funeral became somewhat silent with the arrival of the men in black and the Maybach.

An elder from the Nie family cleared his throat:

"These people must be here to pay respects to someone else. How could Old Nie have friends like these?"

"Yeah, Old Nie lived a low-key life, his focus was always on raising..."

Someone chimed in, then felt they had said the wrong thing and quickly corrected themselves:

"On Xingzi, he never had the chance to meet people like these!"

Many people around nodded. Such a grand occasion.

It was clear this person wasn't ordinary!

Such a grand display was usually only seen when important figures appeared on television or in movies!

Everyone thought this to themselves.

But the Maybach seemed to have a clearer target, slowly driving towards Old Nie's location!

Finally, it came to a steady stop not far in front of everyone!

A hundred men in black slowly walked out from both sides of the Maybach.

Like secret agents, they stood guard on either side of the Maybach!

The two men in black closest to the car walked to the side and respectfully opened the door!

Before the person inside the car even appeared, this display of grandeur made everyone unconsciously cast nervous glances.

They were very curious about who would emerge from the car.

With such a grand entrance, could it be some important figure?

Nie family relatives were very nervous. Why would such a group of people appear at a funeral?

They looked like they were not to be trifled with. What if they were here to cause trouble?

Could these people have been summoned by Nie Xing?

An elder from the Nie family glanced at Nie Xing with suspicion, feeling uneasy.

He suspected that Nie Xing had offended someone he shouldn't have outside. If that were the case, it would make sense why he hadn't dared to come home for three years.

Others were also deep in thought.

They had seen such scenes before, but the people who could command such a display were all influential figures with connections everywhere.

Why would they specifically attend Nie Yugang's funeral?

Everyone curiously looked towards the back seat of the black Maybach.

They wanted to see which important figure would appear amidst such a grand entrance.

The car door opened, and the men in black greeted from outside the door.

"Finally made it?"

Before the person appeared, their voice reached them.

This hoarse, aged voice inspired a sense of anticipation from the bottom of their hearts.

Then, an old man dressed in a Zhongshan suit slowly stepped out of the car!

His eyes looked at Old Nie's tombstone with a complex expression. His aura was contained, and his black Zhongshan suit exuded an immense sense of solemnity!

Seeing this, Everyone felt their breathing tighten. This presence and oppressive aura were too powerful!

Who was this person?

Was he really Nie Yugang's friend?

While they were in shock and doubt, this group of people began to walk towards the tombstone.

Over a hundred men in black followed the old man as they advanced.

The relatives and friends around were startled by the old man's powerful aura and instinctively began to push each other, retreating repeatedly to make way for him!

When the old man reached the tombstone, The hundred men in black behind him stopped.

They spread out in a trapezoidal formation from front to back. The men in black had solemn expressions, showing no emotion.

Witnessing everything that was happening, Old Wang was too shocked to speak. Supported by Young Wang, he stood to the side with an expression that said, "Just as I expected."

The old man's face was full of vicissitudes, and his powerful aura was not something an ordinary person could withstand.

He glanced at Nie Xing, who was kneeling before the tombstone and refusing to get up, and then slowly walked forward. To everyone's surprise, he helped Nie Xing up!

Nie Xing's legs were already numb. He had also sustained some injuries to his legs during experiments on the Gobi Desert earlier, making it difficult for him to stand up now.

Just as he was about to use the old man's hand to steady himself, he felt his legs give way and instinctively grabbed the old man's arm, about to fall!

Everyone was startled. They couldn't let this old man fall carelessly!
