Of course, going to London was a lie.

　　Su Yehao stopped replying to her, letting her taste what it felt like to be stood up, which could barely be considered revenge.

　　After all, even the head of the Federal Reserve hadn't made him overthink for so long as Zhao Yimeng. The young miss Zhao's insincere apology was obviously not enough to make up for his injured feelings.

　　He deleted his messages with Zhao Yimeng to prevent the kids from messing with his phone when they wanted to play games, and seeing things they shouldn't see.

　　Su Yehao temporarily put the matter out of his mind.

　　It was a little after eight in the evening, Hong Kong time. Due to the hot weather, he went downstairs in his swimming trunks to swim in the luxurious outdoor pool.

　　It was luxurious for a reason.

　　First, it was large enough.

　　Second, after seeing a picture in a magazine, Nangong Tian had the outdoor pool renovated in the spring, turning the original blue pool into a more beautiful Tiffany blue.

　　It had to be said.

　　The pool, after being remodeled with a lot of money, really did look much better.

　　There was no need to travel all the way to Fiji or Tahiti to see the sea. Looking at his own pool already gave Su Yehao a sense of tranquility.

　　As he climbed onto the inflatable mattress floating on the water, he happened to see Nangong Tian jump into the water. This scared him, and he hurriedly said, "You're not that far along in your pregnancy. Be careful not to affect the fetus."

　　Nangong Tian merely swam to the side of the inflatable mattress, wiped her face, and stretched out her arms, saying with a beaming smile:

　　"It's not like before, I'm not that delicate. The doctor told me to maintain moderate exercise. If I don't swim now, I'll be like a fat frog in a few months, and I won't be able to get into the water, and the baby will be oxygen-deprived."

　　"A fat frog…"

　　Su Yehao chuckled.

　　It was okay for Nangong Tian to say such things herself, but he wouldn't dare to chime in.

　　She was only newly pregnant, and her hormones were fluctuating. Nangong Tian was already worried about her figure and afraid that she wouldn't be able to get back into top shape.

　　Teasing her at this time would be like walking into the line of fire. Su Yehao wasn't that stupid.

　　He only said, "No, on the contrary, I think you're even more attractive when you're pregnant. If it doesn't work out, you can just exercise more later. Practice makes perfect, and I'll find you the best fitness coach."

　　This was exactly what Nangong Tian wanted to hear. She said with satisfaction:

　　"You're a smart guy. The attractiveness is probably because of maternal radiance? To be honest, when Jiang Yu was pregnant, I felt that something was wrong with you. Don't think I didn't know that after I fell asleep, you sneaked into her room every other day."

　　"…"

　　Sure enough.

　　You could never guess what secrets this girl kept in her heart.

　　Unlike Jiang Yu, who couldn't keep things to herself, Su Yehao always felt that many of the little things he thought he had hidden well had already been uncovered by Nangong Tian, but she just hadn't brought them up.

　　It was precisely because of this that her deterrent power was even greater. Having a trump card and not using it was different from not having one at all. It was difficult for Jiang Yu and Nong Qingying to deter Su Yehao.

　　And Su Yehao would never dare to quarrel with Nangong Tian. If she brought up old scores, he wouldn't be able to live in peace.

　　Nangong Tian took the initiative to snuggle into his arms, her feet dangling, enjoying the comfortable evening. She changed the subject and asked, "Brother Hao, you seem to be relatively free recently. Is there a problem with your business? When I read the financial section of the newspaper, it always seems like everything is about to fall apart, like the crisis in the United States."

　　"I just talked to Zheng Yongwen about this in the morning. Even if there are risks, they probably won't happen anytime soon. My business is doing very well."

　　Su Yehao put his arm around her shoulder. The air mattress behind him was very comfortable. Then he said:

　　"The small storms now are hard to affect me. If even I get anxious, it means the problem must be big. I'm no longer a soft persimmon that can be easily manipulated. Even if the Americans try their best to suppress me, I have ways to give them a headache. Besides, they have more pressing problems now, which is the subprime mortgage crisis you mentioned. They simply can't take care of me."

　　"It's good that everything is fine. It's just that the newspapers said you were busy running for your life and cashed out a large sum of money today, which scared a lot of people."

　　"…How can you say I'm running for my life? This is called high throwing and low absorption, pocketing the profits safely."

　　Su Yehao still remembered the mainland stock market crash a few years ago, when 5s Asset Management faced the risk of a bank run. In the past two months, many people had also seen the signs and withdrawn a total of more than 300 billion RMB from 5s Asset Management.

　　In the early years, this kind of thing would have made him a little worried.

　　Now his strength was too great. The net assets of 5s Group itself had reached as high as 220 billion RMB, and it had invested in many companies in the form of private equity investment. It was like a big tree that had firmly taken root and was not so fragile.

　　He patted Nangong Tian on the shoulder and added:

　　"Since even you have heard the news, it means that the reduction of holdings is still effective. What I want now is to make investors afraid and become a shadow over their heads. To put it in a more vivid way, it is like constantly extracting gasoline from a gasoline can, so that when it encounters a spark, the power of the explosion will be smaller."

　　Nangong Tian, who obviously didn't understand the key points, only became infatuated after hearing this, and said flatteringly, "Brother Hao is really amazing. You can even pump such a big gasoline can. I read in the newspaper that when you stomp your feet, the stock markets on both sides are shaking."

　　Su Yehao was a little curious and asked:

　　"Which newspaper's article is so direct? I'm afraid I should be more careful next. Don't end up running into a stock market crash and being blamed for it."

　　"What's wrong? Is there trouble?"

　　"It's not a trouble, but this kind of thing should be avoided if possible, so as not to have shareholders suffer heavy losses and start resenting me."

　　Su Yehao's move to cash out brought many benefits, but he did not want to directly crash the stock markets on both sides.

　　This was for the sake of reputation, and also for the sake of real interests. Since there was no need to make money by shorting during a stock market crash, it would be more in his interest to have a soft landing.

　　Nangong Tian said:

　　"It's the newspaper in the restaurant this morning. It seems to be the *Eastern Daily*, because there are too many people shorting the FTSE China A50 Index, so someone wrote an article. We can go to the shore and ask Auntie to find it for you to read."

　　"The FTSE China A50 Index? Then it's not surprising. I'm afraid someone has already built a short position, so they can't wait to use my name as a bearish message to scare other investors in the market."

　　Some people always say that A-shares cannot be shorted, but they can be, but they cannot be traded in mainland China.

　　The FTSE China A50 Index listed in Singapore provides international investors with a platform to invest in the mainland securities trading market.

　　The overheated Asia-Pacific market was an obvious trouble, and it was normal to be targeted by jackals.

　　The three axes of transnational hot money were nothing more than low absorption, high throwing, and shorting. Since the scale of shorting the FTSE China A50 Index had increased, it meant that a large-scale sell-off by hot money was not far away.

　　Su Yehao didn't want to be a sucker to take over, but most of the more than 300 billion RMB cashed out hadn't been used yet.

　　Finding a more reasonable position, he would, when the time was right, let the authorities cooperate and take out some favorable policies from the toolbox, and both sides would release water to support the market, striving to reduce the impact of the stock market crash…
