Lin Guoxiong went out for half a day and found two bosses with assets in Jiangbei City, but the replies were all the same: no money.
Lin Guoxiong did not get angry upon hearing this, but was quite happy, although he appeared very dejected.
"Director Lu, as you predicted, no one is willing to lend money to Haitong Group. Not even one hundred million, and no one is willing to lend it!"
"I also posted the news of Haitong Group's high-interest bond repurchase online, but no one is buying our company's bonds!"
Lin Guoxiong immediately relayed this news to Lu Yang, the director of Haitong Group.
"Well, this is the best outcome. This way, we won't have any psychological burden when we make money, as we've already given them a chance!"
Lu Yang said with a cold laugh.
"Director Lu, what should we do next?"
Lin Guoxiong looked at Lu Yang and continued to ask.
"Hold our ground. Let them be arrogant for a while. What we need to do is make this matter seem real!"
Lu Yang said calmly.
"Understood, Director Lu!"
After hearing Lu Yang's words, Lin Guoxiong revealed a smile like an old fox.
At the afternoon opening, Haitong Group's stock was shorted again, dropping by one percent. However, Lu Yang did not care at all. He watched the jumping curve on the market board heading downwards, poured himself a cup of tea, and savored it.
Occasionally, retail investors would try to push it up, but against such a large volume of short-selling funds, the retail investors' capital was pitifully small. It was instantly annihilated, without even causing a ripple.
"I wonder if Haitong Group will come up with money this afternoon to prop up their stock?"
In the hotel, Xiao Wuji watched the curve in front of him, his eyes filled with a cold sneer, as if victory already belonged to him. He said triumphantly.
"Lin Guoxiong is out of money, how can he prop it up?"
At this moment, Bai Hao walked in and said to Xiao Wuji.
"Boss, I've investigated thoroughly. This Lin Guoxiong is completely out of money. He went to find two real estate bosses to borrow money today. These two real estate bosses are actually our people. How could they possibly lend money to Lin Guoxiong?"
"Also, I've brought another insider into their company, and I've received a very important piece of news!"
Bai Hao looked at Xiao Wuji with great excitement, waiting for praise.
"Hmm, you did very well. Tell me, what is this important news?"
Xiao Wuji nodded, looking at Bai Hao with approval, and continued to ask.
"My informant today defected from Haitong Group, a woman who was Lu Yang's classmate. She provided a particularly important piece of information, which is that the mysterious chairman of Haitong Group is actually Lu Yang. I've heard this identity mentioned before, but wasn't sure. But from her mouth, I am now certain!"
Bai Hao said directly to Xiao Wuji.
"What? It's Lu Yang?"
Hearing Lu Yang's name, Xiao Wuji felt disbelief.
Xiao Wuji knew Lu Yang, and was all too familiar with him. Besides his slightly better martial arts skills, Xiao Wuji didn't feel Lu Yang was a person with much status or background. But hearing Bai Hao's words now, Xiao Wuji's eyes narrowed instantly.
"Could it be that all previous judgments about Lu Yang were wrong? Is he the biggest boss hidden behind the scenes?"
Xiao Wuji couldn't help but ponder in his heart.
"Young Master Xiao, I've thought about this. Perhaps Lu Yang is just a scapegoat who was kicked out. Think about it, Haitong Group is so wealthy, why would they choose Lu Yang? Moreover, Lu Yang became the chairman of Haitong Group after Lin Guoxiong arrived, which was only two months ago. So I have reason to suspect that this Lu Yang is a scapegoat found by Lin Guoxiong. If anything happens to Haitong Group, it will have nothing to do with Lin Guoxiong, and it will all be Lu Yang's fault!"
Bai Hao looked at Xiao Wuji and revealed all his thoughts. However, these thoughts were all told to him by Song Nuan. With Bai Hao's intellect, he couldn't have come up with these ideas.
"What you're saying is not unreasonable, but I don't think this matter is that simple. Bai Hao, continue to investigate Lu Yang's identity. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find out Lu Yang's identity clearly!"
Xiao Wuji said to Bai Hao.
"Don't worry, Young Master Xiao, I will make sure to get a clear picture of Lu Yang's past and present!"
Upon hearing Xiao Wuji's words, Bai Hao patted his chest and said.
After speaking, Xiao Wuji glanced at the curve chart on the screen again. He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't quite pinpoint it.
And all of this was within Lu Yang's calculations.
At the close of the market in the afternoon, Haitong Group's stock remained at a six percent decline. Seeing that no funds were coming in to support it, Xiao Wuji secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems Bai Hao is telling the truth, this Lu Yang is just a puppet. Now that Haitong Group is in trouble, all the responsibility will be pushed onto Lu Yang. No wonder Lin Guoxiong was so calm. He had already found someone. As long as Haitong Group goes bankrupt, Lu Yang will be the eternal sinner. Even if he makes some money from Lin Guoxiong now, he will still have to return it!"
Xiao Wuji said with a cold sneer.
Lu Yang, however, was completely unaware of Xiao Wuji's investigation into him. But even if he knew, Lu Yang would not worry, because Lu Yang's identity was highly classified. Let alone Xiao Wuji, even the governor of Jiang Province did not have the authority to know. They could only discover Lu Yang's only known identity: a former good-for-nothing live-in son-in-law of the Tang family. There were no supporting documents for his position as chairman of Haitong Group.
As night fell, at Baolan Jasmine Manor, a figure appeared. His face was ferocious, looking fierce and menacing. He was over two meters tall, and stood there like a wall, his muscles bulging, exuding a powerful threat.
Those who walked past him felt a chill.
This person was Jagger King of the Dark Alliance. He had arrived.
"Master!"
Seeing this dark figure appear, Qin Xiaoyun was so excited that tears streamed down her face. She wanted to struggle to sit up in bed, but any struggle was futile. Lu Yang's methods were such that even a divine physician could not cure Qin Xiaoyun. xxs壹贰
"Don't say anything more. Rest and recuperate. I've heard about your situation!"
"Where is that scoundrel named Lu Yang? How dare he touch my disciple, Jagger King? Then he must be prepared to face death!"
Jagger King said coldly. The air instantly turned several degrees colder with the sound of Jagger King's voice.
"Thank you, Master!"
Upon hearing Jagger King's words, Qin Xiaoyun quickly thanked him.
"Jagger King, we have already investigated and found that this Lu Yang resides in Cloudtop Villa in Jiangbei City. It is said to be the most luxurious residence in Jiangbei City. However, it is sparsely populated, making it a good place for murder!"
A man in a black Zhongshan suit standing behind Jagger King immediately said.
"Cloudtop Villa?"
"I didn't expect this kid to enjoy himself so much. Let's go, we're going to kill Lu Yang now!"
After speaking, Jagger King and the man left.
Half an hour later, an figure appeared at the entrance of Cloudtop Villa, looking particularly chilling under the cover of night.
"Boss, Jagger King has arrived!"
Dark Night Pluto was fully alert. He looked at the dark figure in front of him and quickly said to Lu Yang.
"Jagger King?"
"I didn't expect him to come so quickly. I thought he would take another two days. He's here earlier than I expected. I wonder if the four of you can hunt Jagger King?"
Lu Yang looked at Dark Night Pluto and the people behind him and smiled slightly.
"Boss, we will fight with all our might. Our abilities have improved so much, it's time to test our current skills!"
Dark Night Pluto sneered, already eager to try.
Soon, all of Lu Yang's subordinates surrounded Jagger King and attacked directly. In less than ten minutes, Jagger King died under the siege of five people. After all, the five people trained by Lu Yang were not simply equal to the sum of their parts, but greater than two.
The next day, Lu Yang returned directly to Haitong Group and took out one hundred billion US dollars, directly trapping all of Xiao Wuji and his associates in the stock market, completely draining Xiao Wuji's one hundred billion Chinese yuan. The encirclement of Haitong Group by Xiao Wuji and others was declared a complete failure.
Lu Yang looked at the Black Dragon Token in his hand, as if an invisible mission was calling to him...
