After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God

Chapter 980: Si Fuqing: Who Are You? (1)

He had indeed watched Si Fuqing’s performances when she was a member of the Starry Star Girls.

Though he had been dragged there by a friend, he had re-watched them before coming, hoping to have something to talk about with her.

As long as she was willing to sit down and chat, he…

Maybe an ordinary eSports player wasn’t crucial to Oracle, but NINE the God was its cornerstone.

Through Si Fuqing, he could surely connect with Ji Yun.

Even without this reason, Yu Yao had to come.

As Xie Che said, he started to feel regret.

Perhaps he had regretted it ever since Si Fuqing removed her makeup and revealed her true face.

But over the past year, this regret had grown, consuming his heart and soul, until today it had completely swallowed him.

Yu Yao couldn’t fathom how someone he had once looked down upon now required his reverence.

Si Fuqing glanced at Yu Yao, but her mind held no memories of him.

She acknowledged him with a slight nod, “Who are you?”

Her tone was calm, neither mocking nor belittling.

But it was still unbearable for him.

“…”

Around them, the noise of the celebration continued, everyone immersed in the revelry.

But Yu Yao felt as if all sound had vanished from his ears, the world silent and dead.

He mechanically lifted his head, forgetting how to speak.

The Galaxy team captain was also a bit embarrassed, “NINE the God doesn’t know Young Master Yu Yao?”

“Oh, Yu?” Si Fuqing nodded, “Never heard of him, don’t know him. I’m tired, leaving now.”

She placed her glass on the tray of a passing server and walked away.

Her words snapped the final string in Yu Yao’s mind, leaving it blank.

He felt cold all over, his limbs trembling, and his heart sinking like lead.

Not recognize him?

How could she not recognize him?

They clearly knew each other!

Yu Yao stood there, his mind buzzing.

“Young Master Yu Yao.” The Galaxy team captain, seeing his disbelief, gently reminded, “NINE the God s very busy, spanning several fields and meeting many people. It’s normal she doesn’t remember you.”

Yu Yao’s face was pale, “No, she should…”

The Galaxy team captain didn’t want to continue and quickly left to join the other eSports players.

“Captain, who did you bring here?” the vice-captain asked, “Why did NINE the God leave?”

“The third young master of the Yu family. I thought he really knew NINE the God, so I accepted his request,” the captain said irritably, “But it turned out he exaggerated; NINE the God doesn’t know him at all.”

The vice-captain laughed, “Today someone even claimed to be NINE the God. The world is full of shameless people.”

The Galaxy team captain shook his head, “I need to apologize to NINE the God for bringing someone irrelevant to her.”

“There were rumors that Miss Si pursued a young master from the Yu family,” a team member recalled, “Last year, it was a big rumor. I didn’t believe it.”

“Miss Si is not only a top actress but also the top player in Oracle. She’s incredibly beautiful; why would she need to?”

Indeed, although Yu Yao was from the Yu family, with Si Fuqing’s current value, it would be the Yu family trying to win her over, not the other way around.

“You don’t know,” another team member shrugged, “Some men are so narcissistic. A girl looks at them once, and they think she’s in love, already naming their future children. But she was just looking at the bus stop behind him.”

“I’ve experienced that,” a female player agreed, “Some men are inherently masochistic. They used to ignore you, but now they can’t reach you.”

“I haven’t met Jiu the God, but I bet he’s a thousand times better than Yu Yao,” the earlier team member added, “Jiu the God handed over all his assets. Miss Si is so talented; Jiu the God might be hiding more than we think. He’s probably more than just a gamer.”

The conversation quickly shifted to the mysterious Jiu the God, leaving Yu Yao forgotten.

Today was a day of celebration, not to be spoiled by irrelevant people.

Outside, Xie Che approached Yu Yao as he came out, “How did it go?”

Yu Yao stood there, dazed and lost, “She doesn’t know me.”

Xie Che was surprised, “How could she not? Didn’t you confront her, accusing her of getting surgery to look like your childhood sweetheart? She didn’t remember that?”

Yu Yao’s face turned pale at Xie Che’s words.

He had almost forgotten he had said that.

What had he done?!

“Sorry, I didn’t mean it that way,” Xie Che quickly tried to make amends, “I meant she should remember you for that. If someone said that to me, I’d remember them and make them pay.”

These words only made Yu Yao’s face paler. He wobbled, nearly falling.

“Sorry, I really don’t know how to talk,” Xie Che apologized, “I just don’t understand how she couldn’t remember you.”

Yu Yao’s lips trembled, unable to say a word, his eyes blank.

He had said such things, and Si Fuqing didn’t remember him because he wasn’t important enough to remember.

Yu Yao forced a smile, his expression bleak, “Let’s go.”

Seeing his condition, Xie Che quickly supported him, “Alright, let’s get some rest.”

Meanwhile.

Kinto International Airport.

Two middle-aged men waited anxiously in the terminal.

Their plan had failed, and they needed to leave immediately.

But as they were about to leave, they were stopped.

“Sorry, President Ji has given orders.” The secretary smiled, “You two cannot leave Kinto for now.”

The two men were escorted to Oracle’s Eastern Mulberry branch, surrounded by armed guards.

In the office.

Ji Yun’s expression was serious.

In front of him sat a handsome man in a wheelchair, exuding a natural aura.

This was Ji Yun’s first time meeting Yu Xiheng.

Standing before him, Ji Yun found it hard to connect this man with the game’s invincible Jiu the God.

“Mr. Yu.” Ji Yun quickly composed himself and extended his hand, “A pleasure to meet you, and thank you for your help.”

Without Yu Xiheng, it would have been difficult to keep these two men.

“Hmm.” Yu Xiheng shook his hand, “Have you found out?”

“Embarrassingly, yes,” Ji Yun’s eyes turned cold, “It’s a family issue.”

The matter also involved some members of the Ji family from the Free State.

Yu Xiheng raised an eyebrow, “Oh?”

With a thud, the two men were pressed to the ground, looking disheveled.

The secretary stepped forward, “President Ji, Stellar Company has been shut down, and the top executives replaced. These two were in charge and the masterminds.”

“Who… Who are you?!” one of the men demanded, still trying to act tough, “Do you know we’ve signed a contract with NightOrigin? If you destroy Stellar, you’ll offend NightOrigin!”

“Do you think you can act this way in Kinto and also get away with it in the Free State?!”

Ji Yun frowned, “?”

NightOrigin was an organization in the Free State.

It wasn’t particularly powerful but very wealthy.

Many families, including the Ji family, had business dealings with NightOrigin.

NightOrigin was also a major investor in the Intercontinental Research Institute, investing hundreds of billions annually.

With the Intercontinental Research Institute backing them, all forces in the Free State were wary of NightOrigin.

“Exactly!” The middle-aged man, seeing Ji Yun hesitate, straightened up, “President Ji, you’re from the Free State and understand its power dynamics. I’ve heard your family also relies on NightOrigin’s support.”

“President Ji, Oracle hasn’t suffered any losses, and its reputation has even improved. Why push this to a life-and-death situation? Offending NightOrigin won’t be easy for you!”

Ji Yun’s face changed slightly.

Yu Xiheng’s long fingers lightly tapped the table, his expression unchanged, as if nothing could shake him.

His calm demeanor only heightened the middle-aged man’s fear, his unease growing.

After a few seconds, Yu Xiheng finally looked up and said, “Answer the phone.”

“Ring, ring.”

Almost immediately, the middle-aged man’s phone rang in his pocket.
