Super Rich: Starting the game by going back ten years to buy Bitcoin

Two riot control forks thrust straight at Li Yichen from the side, aiming directly for his lower back. He didn't even lift his eyelids; he simply raised his right leg and swept it outwards. The two steel forks snapped in half, and the force of the impact sent the two security guards tumbling to the ground, sliding four or five meters across the terrazzo floor.

Li Yichen carried Liu Xue into the private elevator, then turned around to look at Liu Bing and her family who had chased after them to the door.

"Take your parents home and stay there." Li Yichen stood in the middle of the airtight door. "Within forty-eight hours, I will send a lively Liu Xue back to your Liu family."

The elevator doors closed, shutting out all the cries and the doctor's curses from outside.

The underground parking garage. The rear seats of the Tank 700 were laid out like a large, soft bed. Li Yichen sat cross-legged, letting Liu Xue's battered body lean against him.

Under Ling'er's control, the SUV sped towards the precision testing building of the future aerospace base, skirting the speed limit line. The car was filled with the strong smell of blood and the acrid odor of burning chemicals.

Liu Xue was barely breathing. Her extensively burned skin was oozing tissue fluid, and a hissing sound like a broken bellows came from her throat. With all her might, she raised her left hand, which could still move slightly, and her two charred fingers gripped the hem of Li Yichen's clothes.

"Yichen..." Her voice was hoarse and slurred, her words broken and fragmented, "I'm afraid... if I don't say it now... I'll never have another chance."

Li Yichen lowered his head, avoiding the wound on her face, and supported the back of her neck with his fingers through the fabric of her coat.

"I like you." A single, cloudy tear squeezed from the cracked skin at the corner of Liu Xue's eye. "I've always liked you..."

Li Yichen patted her undamaged right shoulder twice.

"Don't talk nonsense, save your energy." He pulled his coat up higher. "I promise, when you wake up after a good night's sleep, not a single hair will be missing."

Two bitter sobs escaped Liu Xue's throat. She closed her eyes, thinking it was just sweet talk to deceive a dying person.

The car crashed through the gate to the top-secret underground area of ​​the precision testing building. Li Yichen jumped out of the car with Liu Xue in his arms and headed straight for the streamlined second-generation nanomedical cabin in the center.

The hatch slid open to the sides, and a pale blue, cold light shone on Liu Xue's horribly disfigured face.

Li Yichen bent down and put her into the repair tank.

"Get a good night's sleep, the nightmare will be over soon."

The hatch closed. A highly concentrated, pale green vitamin solution gushed from the bottom, completely submerging Liu Xue within seconds. Billions of nanomedical robots burrowed into her pores, respiratory tract, and bloodstream through the hydraulic circulation system.

The repair work at the atomic level is in full swing. The charred necrotic tissue is peeled off and swallowed by nanoparticles, and new neurons and epidermal cells begin to reorganize at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The 24-hour countdown reset to zero on the main control screen.

drop.

A crisp beep sounded, and the life-sustaining fluid in the medical chamber was quickly drained through the drain hole. The transparent cover lifted, and cold air overflowed.

Liu Xue opened her eyes.

She froze for two seconds, then suddenly sat up, frantically groping her face with both hands.

Smooth, delicate, even tighter than before the accident. She looked down at her arms, which had been burned through to the bone by strong acid, but now there wasn't a single scar.

She climbed out of the medical pod and ran barefoot to the floor-length mirror next to her.

The woman in the mirror had long, flowing hair, fair and radiant skin, and not a single flaw on her body.

"I'm all better?" Liu Xue touched her cheek, her voice clear and crisp, completely free of her previous hoarseness. "I'm really all better!"

She jumped up and down twice, and cheers echoed in the empty basement.

Overwhelmed by excitement, she completely failed to notice that her business suit, corroded by the strong acid and soaked in the vitamin solution, had long since turned into tattered strips hanging from her body. Vast swathes of her skin were exposed to the air without any concealment.

Li Yichen walked over from the rest area carrying a cup of warm water. He stopped three meters away.

The water in the glass sloshed around. He turned his head away and turned his back.

"Ahem." Li Yichen cleared his throat. "Don't look at what you shouldn't see. Put on that trench coat next to the medical pod first."

Liu Xue lowered her head as he spoke. Her fair neck flushed red instantly, all the way to her ears.

She pulled the long black trench coat hanging on the cabin door handle and wrapped it around herself. If it were the old, aloof female CEO, she would have been filled with shame and indignation and wanted to disappear into the ground by now. But today was different.

Having narrowly escaped death, the brink of life and death shattered all the pretense in her bones.

Liu Xue walked barefoot on the metal floor behind Li Yichen. She stretched out her arms and wrapped them around his broad back, pressing her cheek against the shirt that still held his body heat.

"Yichen, thank you." Her voice was soft but firm.

Li Yichen tensed up.

Liu Xue walked around to face him and looked up. She stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pressed her red lips directly against his.

Passionate, proactive, with a wild energy that seems to want to melt people's bones after surviving a catastrophe.

Li Yichen took half a step back, creating some distance between them.

"Liu Xue, calm down." He pressed down on her shoulders. "You know, I have several women around me..."

"I've died once." Liu Xue grabbed his wrist with her other hand, her domineering CEO persona exploding in full force at that moment. "I don't care about any of those worldly rules. Right now, all I want is to be your woman."

She gave him a hard push. Li Yichen fell onto the single bed behind him, where he usually rested when he stayed up late.

The trench coat slipped to the ground.

Three hours later.

The blankets on the small bed were a mess. Liu Xue nestled in Li Yichen's arm, her fingers tracing circles on his chest. The once ruthless and decisive businesswoman was now so docile that even her breathing was soft and sweet.

Li Yichen ruffled her long hair and shook his head with a wry smile.

In my mind, Ling'er's prompting voice came right on time.

"Brother, why don't you take Sister Xue'er back? Her family is probably pacing around at home worried sick right now."

Li Yichen sat up, grabbed the shirt next to him, and put it on.

Liu Xue sat up and pulled the blanket over her chest. She turned her head to look at the medical pod emitting a blue light, the shock in her eyes still not completely gone.

"Yichen," she pointed to the machine, "I still can't believe it. Even in the world's top burn unit, my condition would have been certain death. How did you manage to save me?"

Li Yichen stopped buttoning his shirt. He walked to the medical pod and patted the outer shell.

"This is called a nanomedical capsule." He turned to look at Liu Xue. "It contains hundreds of millions of nanomedical robots. They can directly enter the human body and repair necrotic cells and reconstruct nerves and blood vessels at the atomic level. As long as a person is still breathing and their brain is not completely dead, if you throw them in and soak them for twenty-four hours, they will come out as a whole, alive person."

Liu Xue's mouth dropped open. Having worked in the pharmaceutical industry herself, she knew all too well the significance of those words.

"This...this is beyond the scope of modern medicine." She swallowed hard. "You actually built something straight out of a science fiction movie?"

"So this thing can't be brought to light." Li Yichen walked back to the bedside, pinched her cheek, and said, "You have to keep this to yourself. You can't even tell your dad or your brother."

Liu Xue looked up: "Why?"

"Think about it." Li Yichen handed her his coat. "This thing can restructure cells, which means it can reverse aging to some extent. Just lie in it and soak in it regularly, and you can easily live to be two hundred. Nobody doesn't want to live a long and peaceful life?"

He tapped the metal bed frame next to him with his knuckles, producing a crisp echo.

"Once this thing becomes known to the outside world, global tycoons, politicians, and those big shots who are about to die will go completely mad. They will not hesitate to start a war to seize this machine. At that time, the chaos that will occur will be far beyond what Manhattan can handle."

After listening, Liu Xue broke out in a cold sweat. She nodded vigorously and took Li Yichen's hand in her palm.

"I understand. I swear, no third person will ever know about this."

Li Yichen grasped her hand and pulled her off the bed.

"Get dressed. Half of the 48-hour promise remains; I should take you home now."

Liu Xue put on her trench coat and walked to the mirror to tidy her long hair. Through the reflection in the mirror, her gaze was fixed on Li Yichen, who was bending down to tie his shoelaces. She raised her hand and gently stroked her smooth, clean cheek with her fingertips.
